Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

Chapter 227 If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!

"Sir, Mr. Pei is here."

After hearing Jiang Hui's report, Su Chen paused in petting the cat. He called Pei Rang yesterday and asked him to come to the capital after the holiday, but how come he flew over the next day? This was too dedicated.

"Why do I feel like a black-hearted boss who arranges work for his subordinates even on holidays?" After muttering to himself, Su Chen said, "Take him to the reception room directly. I'll be there soon."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hui bowed slightly, then turned around and walked quickly towards the door.

Su Chen gently patted Yuanbao's butt. Yuanbao, who was lying on his legs and cooing, raised his head and called out to Su Chen, then jumped off his legs with his plump and charming body, not forgetting to rub Su Chen's calves twice before returning to his own nest.

I don’t know if it’s a sequelae of the animal affinity he gained from opening the blind box before, but Yuanbao likes to stick to him very much these two days. As long as he sees Su Chen sitting or lying down, he will run to Su Chen’s side and lie down.

Especially last night, he didn't know how Yuanbao got into his bedroom. When he was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, Su Chen felt like he was pressed down by something heavy and couldn't breathe. At that time, Su Chen was in a daze and thought he was being sleep-paralyzed by a ghost. It took him a lot of effort to wake up.

He found that Yuanbao's chubby body was lying on his chest, with his big fat head tilted up to look at him. Those glowing eyes scared Su Chen. If he hadn't reacted in time, he would have almost punched Yuanbao.

After tidying up the cat hair on his clothes, Su Chen slowly walked towards the living room.

"Boss!" Pei Rang, who was leisurely drinking tea and looking around, saw Su Chen coming in from the door. He quickly put down the teacup in his hand and called respectfully.

Su Chen smiled faintly and waved his hand, "This is at home, not at the company, there's no need to be so restrained."

As he said that, he walked to the seat opposite and sat down. Pei Rang, who had a sharp eye, quickly poured a cup of tea for Su Chen.

Looking at Pei Rang who was still standing, Su Chen smiled and shook his head, "You, if it were anyone else, they would have sat down long ago. Okay, stop standing. You have to wait for me to ask you to sit down, right?"

Hearing this, Pei Rang smiled and sat back in his seat.

Although he heard Su Chen's words, he still had to have a sense of boundaries. If it were other people, it would be fine if they were more casual, but not him. Pei Rang was clear about this.

If Pei Rang and Su Chen get along too easily, without the sense of awe as the boss and the person in charge of the company, it is hard to guarantee whether their mentality will not change.

Pei Rang always urged himself to be respectful of Su Chen in his heart so as not to go astray.

He was able to go from being a fund manager on Wall Street to now managing a group with a future market value of more than tens of billions or even hundreds of billions. Pei Rang knew that all of this was because of Su Chen.

He himself only contributed a small amount of effort, and any other management elite could have done better than him.

Su Chen took a sip of tea, then asked curiously, "Didn't I tell you yesterday to wait until the holiday was over before coming to the capital? Why did you fly here today? Why don't you just stay at home and spend time with your family?"

"Uh~" Pei Rang glanced at Su Chen awkwardly, picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying, "I just happened to be accompanying my child to the capital to watch the flag-raising ceremony."

"I was at the Great Wall when you called yesterday afternoon, otherwise I would have come to see you yesterday."

After hearing this, Su Chen was also stunned. It felt like his previous imagination was purely wishful thinking.

"Ahem~ The child is in the hotel?" Su Chen quickly changed the subject.

"Well~ the kids and my wife are tired after a whole day, so they are staying in the hotel to rest." Pei Rang also felt a little emotional. It was the first time for their family to come to the capital to play. They originally came out to relax, but who knew it would be so tiring.

I went to watch the flag-raising ceremony at three or four in the morning yesterday. I spent several hours just to watch the flag ceremony which lasted less than ten minutes. Although I was a little tired, the atmosphere gave Pei Rang a feeling of great pride.

Later, they climbed the Great Wall again. Pei Rang finally understood why the saying "He who has not climbed the Great Wall is not a true man" is so famous. The stairs that require both hands and feet to climb up are indeed a bit torturous.

For Pei Rang, who stays in the office for a long time, if it weren't for his wife and his father's encouragement and motivation, he would have wanted to back out and not climb the Great Wall and just go back to the hotel to lie down.

Su Chen also noticed that Pei Rang was a little tired, so he didn't waste too much of his time and directly arranged for Jiang to go back to his study and get the file bag about the Zhangjiang Science City Park.

"Just give it to Pei Rang directly!" Seeing Jiang Hui coming back with the file bag, he glanced in the direction of Pei Rang.

Pei Rang quickly took the file bag from Jiang Hui and took out the documents inside.

"This is the transfer agreement for the Zhangjiang Science City Innovation Park. Go and see if it can be used as the headquarters of the group. If it is possible, start the renovation."

Pei Rang simply flipped through it with a bright smile on his face.

The park is nearly two square kilometers in size, which is a huge area, with a total of three thousand acres. Even though three tall and four short office buildings have been built to start up, there is still a lot of vacant space, which is more than enough for subsequent changes in the group.

"Boss, I'm going back to Shanghai today to see what this entrepreneurship park is all about!" Pei Rang said as he put the documents into a brown paper bag, as if he was ready to leave.

Su Chen quickly stopped Pei Rang and said, "Since it's vacation, spend some time with your family. We can talk about work after we get back to work. There's no need to rush for one or two days."

Seeing Su Chen's slightly serious look, Pei Rang hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, Boss!"

"Okay~ I won't disturb your rest time, take your things and go back to the hotel."

Pei Rang nodded heavily upon hearing this, picked up the file bag, bowed slightly to Su Chen, then turned and left.

Looking at Pei Rang's departing back, Su Chen turned to look at Jiang Hui beside him and asked, "Do you think Pei Rang will be able to play in the imperial capital with peace of mind?"

Jiang Hui, who was standing at the side, responded with a smile: "Of course he will play. After all, you have repeatedly told him to do so. I think Mr. Pei might stay up a little late at night."

Su Chen nodded thoughtfully, and saw the tea on the table. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Give him all the tea leaves we brewed today."

Jiang Hui was stunned for a moment, and after coming to his senses, he quickly took out a can of beautifully packaged tea from the tea cabinet beside him, and quickly chased in the direction Pei Rang left.

Finally, Pei Rang was seen at the gate, chatting with Fade Chen.

Seeing Jiang Hui running out in a hurry, Pei Rang and Chen Fei stopped chatting and cast puzzled glances at him.

After calming down his panting breath, Jiang Hui walked over to Pei Rang and handed him the teapot.

"Sir, let me give it to you!"

Pei Rang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and after he came to his senses, he quickly took the teapot from Jiang Hui's hand.

The movement was so fast that Chen Fei, who was standing aside, was stunned.

Pei Rang opened the tea can and smelled it. The aroma of the tea made him a little intoxicated. He carefully closed the lid and put it in his pocket.

Then he grinned and said, "Butler Jiang, please tell the boss thank you. It's really a big expense!"

Jiang Hui nodded slightly and agreed to the request.

Pei Rang, who had gained the benefit, did not continue chatting with Chen Fei. He said hello to the two and left happily. As soon as the door was closed and the two had not yet reached the hanging flower door, the bell of the door rang.

"Uh~ Mr. Pei, did you forget to take something?" Chen Fei muttered to himself and walked quickly towards the door.

Even Jiang Hui, who was about to enter the middle courtyard, stopped and wanted to see what was going on.

The door opened, and the person who came in was not Pei Rang.

"Brother Chen Fei!" the visitor greeted warmly as he entered the room.

"Wu Jing~ why are you here?" Chen Fei was a little surprised to see the person coming. Logically speaking, Wu Jing should be busy with the movie.

Chen Fei also watched Wolf Warriors 2 before. As a veteran, he was able to deeply immerse himself in the movie, especially when Wu Jing stood up at the dock and shouted out the number of his original unit...

Chen Fei was so excited watching this. He could deeply understand Wu Jing's feelings at that time. He even had a good chat with Wu Jing during the meal.

Maybe it was because Wu Jing had previous training experience in the army, and the two of them got along so well when chatting, and it felt like they had met too late. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, they would have almost become sworn brothers.

"I came to report my results to Mr. Su!" A hint of pride flashed across Wu Jing's face.

After hearing this, Fade Chen didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded and took a step to the side, indicating that he could go in.

At this time, Wu Jing also saw Jiang Hui standing at the hanging flower gate, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Butler Jiang."

Jiang Hui smiled and raised his left hand, making a please gesture in the air, "Mr. Wu, please come in!"

"Trouble!" Wu Jing followed Jiang Hui and walked into the central courtyard.

At first Jiang Hui thought Su Chen was still in the reception room. When he reached the middle of the corridor, Jiang Hui saw through the window that Su Chen was sitting on the recliner in the pavilion holding Yuanbao.

He had to take Wu Jing around again before they arrived at the pavilion in the middle courtyard.

"Hey~ Why are you here? Are you here to report to me on the first day's movie?" Su Chen was just about to enjoy a sunbath when he saw Jiang Hui and Wu Jing coming over from the corner of his eye.

Hearing Su Chen's words, the smile on Wu Jing's face froze instantly, "Um~Mr. Su, do you know the performance of the movie on the first day of its release?"

Seeing Wu Jing's depressed expression, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh.

"I don't know what your results are, but you must be here to show off."

Hearing this, the smile on Wu Jing's face returned, and it turned out that he had misunderstood just now.

"Hehe~ Mr. Su is really amazing. He can see the purpose of my visit at a glance."

Su Chen glared at Wu Jing unhappily, "Alright, alright, stop pretending, show me how awesome you are, you're just here to show off."

"Tell me, what was the performance of Wolf Warrior 2 on its first day that gave you the courage to come and show off to me."

"Uh~" Wu Jing was not embarrassed when his little trick was exposed, and quickly reported: "The box office on the first day of the release exceeded 300 million. It is expected that in the next 20 days, the box office is expected to be more than 200 million every day."

Even Su Chen, who spent money like water, had a look of surprise on his face. When did the box office of a movie reach 100 million on the first day of its release?

You have to know that in the past, a movie with a box office of 700 to 800 million was considered a good movie. If the box office could reach more than 1 billion, it would be widely circulated in the entire circle.

But you made over 300 million on the first day of release. What does that mean? How can those film directors make a living?

Su Chen looked at Wu Jing meaningfully. No wonder he had to make a special trip to report the results to him. If it were him, he would probably call all his friends to inform them.

The first thing he said when he answered the phone was, "How did you know that the box office of the movie I shot exceeded 300 million on the first day?"

But soon Su Chen thought of something, frowned slightly, and tapped his left hand on the table rhythmically.

When Wu Jing, who was standing by, saw Su Chen's expression, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she was being too cocky?

Just as he was brainstorming, Su Chen's voice rang out.

"Wu Jing, do you think your film will become the No. 1 domestic film, given the current situation?"

"That's for sure. Judging from the current box office, it will take less than a week to create a new record in the film and television industry!" Wu Jing said without hesitation.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. As Wu Jing, who had been in the entertainment industry for many years, he quickly thought of other things.

You have to know that whether in the entertainment industry or the film and television industry, there are many things that hurt people. As long as you spend some money to hire some internet trolls, you can cause controversy.

Now Wolf Warrior 2 is about to stand at the forefront of such public opinion.

A not-so-famous director and second-tier actor made a landmark movie. What do you think those big directors and big stars will think?

It is conceivable...in the future, based on the amazing box office data of Wolf Warrior 2, Wu Jing and the movie Wolf Warrior 2 will become the target of public criticism!

It is said that going half a step beyond is a genius, and going one step beyond is a madman. If Wolf Warrior 2 is based on Wu Jing’s previous assessment, the box office of this movie will be at least 5 billion!
That's not just a matter of half a step, it's simply not on the same level, and what awaits him will be overwhelming discussion.

At this moment, Wu Jing's face no longer had the cheerful look it had before. He had already anticipated what he would face in the future.

"Mr. Su, then...what should I do?" Wu Jing asked nervously. He had experienced the impact of online comments, which was not something that most people could withstand. If you were not careful, you might get jade syndrome or something like that.

Su Chen glanced at Wu Jing and said, "What should we do? Just follow your previous arrangements. Go on roadshows and do publicity. As long as you can handle this speech, you will have a place in the domestic film and television industry in the future!"

"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Whether you can do it depends on yourself."

Wu Jing naturally understood what Su Chen meant by the word "a place". He lowered his head and thought for a moment. When he raised his head again, a determined look appeared on his face.

"I understand, Mr. Su!" Wu Jing is not a person who gives up easily. If he wants to achieve great things, he must go through all kinds of hardships. If he can't even get over this hurdle, then why is he still in the film and television industry?

"Well, you also have Zhang Yiming's contact information. If you need his help, just call him directly." Su Chen looked calm and composed, and his right hand stroked Yuanbao lying on his legs several times.

Hearing this, Wu Jing grinned and bowed to Su Chen excitedly, "Thank you, Mr. Su!"

Su Chen waved his hand gently, "Why thank you? Only if you succeed can I make more money."

Wu Jing was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and nodded with a smile.
