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

Chapter 287 Are they all acting?
"Grandpa, Dad!"

Xiao Chen greeted them and walked up to the two of them and stood in front of them!
Seeing the expressionless faces of the old man and his father, Xiao Chen was panicking at this moment. He originally thought that the phone call he made before could just brush aside the matter of him "taking the wine" easily.

But seeing this situation, Xiao Chen knew that he couldn't escape today.

Think about it, my starting point was also good-intentioned. It was all for the purpose of helping Su Chen. There was absolutely no selfish motive at all!
But the result was that not only did he not get to drink any of the old man's treasured wine, but even after returning home, he had to suffer a reckoning from the old man and his father. Who could he complain to?

In his heart, he began to complain about Su Chen silently. If he had drunk that wine and got scolded when he came back, it would be worth it. But now.
Xiao Chen now just wanted to shout, "Baby, I'm so sad!"

"Bang~"

A crisp voice sounded, bringing Xiao Chen back to his senses.

Looking up, I saw Xiao Zhenzhong placing the teacup in his hand heavily on the table. On the contrary, the "victim" Old Man Xiao did not show any change in expression and was still sipping the tea in his hand.

"Hmph~ You bastard, you've really grown up now. You even dare to steal my things!" Xiao Zhenzhong snorted lightly, his expression extremely serious, and his sharp eyes were like a pair of sharp blades stabbing at Xiao Chen.

Feeling the pressure from his father, Xiao Chen's body trembled inexplicably.

He was a little panicked at first, but Xiao Chen soon realized that things had already been decided and it seemed useless to find various excuses.

I might as well just give in and let my dad do whatever he wants, whether to beat me or scold me.

Xiao Chen curled his lips and muttered quietly: "Wouldn't it be a waste if the old man kept the wine? It would be better for me to give it to Su Chen as a favor!"

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhenzhong's brows immediately frowned. He never expected that Xiao Chen would say such a thing.

In his impression, as long as he gets angry, Xiao Chen will be very scared. Not to mention talking back to him, Xiao Chen doesn't even dare to look at him.

While Xiao Zhenzhong felt a little angry, he also felt relieved that his son had finally stood up straight after so many years of intimidation and pressure from him.

Dare to say no to what he says!
Although he was happy, he still had to teach the lesson he should learn today. His face darkened, he stretched out his left hand, and took the stick beside him.

"You bastard, do you have the guts to repeat what you just said? I'm giving you the all-clear! Are you still feeling very proud?" As he said that, Xiao Zhenzhong slammed the stick in his hand into the ground, making a thud.

It can be seen how much strength Xiao Zhenzhong used just now.

"Gurgle~" Xiao Chen swallowed the saliva in his mouth and looked at the wooden stick in his father's hand that was thicker than a baby's arm. It would be a lie if he said he was not afraid.

If this stick fell on him, even if Xiao Chen had thick skin and flesh, he wouldn't be able to withstand a few hits.

But Xiao Chen would not be willing to give in like this. He had finally shown some strength, but if he couldn't even last one round, he would never dare to speak like that in front of Xiao Zhenzhong again.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Chen made up his mind and decided that he would not admit his mistake no matter what happened today.

"Dad, don't ask me to say it again. I still mean it ten or a hundred times. Those things are useless if they are left there. They can only show their value if they are used properly!"

Xiao Chen's expression was so determined that even his previously lazy body stood straight, as if to cheer himself up for what he said.

"Okay, okay~ It seems that you have really grown up and have your own opinions!" Xiao Zhenzhong stood up suddenly, as if he was going to deal with Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen did not expect Xiao Zhenzhong to do this, and he took a step back in fright.

And Xiao Chen did not notice that when he was retreating, Xiao Zhenzhong gave Old Man Xiao a look without any expression.

"Hit me, even if you kill me!"

Xiao Chen's whole body was tense, especially the muscles in his legs and arms, which were all bulging. Even his teeth were clenched tightly, and he was ready to be beaten up by Xiao Zhenzhong.

Seeing Xiao Chen's scene, Xiao Zhenzhong's mouth twitched slightly. It felt like in Xiao Chen's mind, he was just a man who only knew how to use violence. But when he saw the stick in his hand, he felt relieved.

"Hmph~ I want to see if your body is as hard as your mouth!"

As he spoke, Xiao Zhenzhong raised the stick in his hand and swung it heavily at Xiao Chen.

At this time, Mr. Xiao, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, "Alright~Zhenzhong, Xiao Chen is already such a big man, and you still beat him. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others if you tell others about it!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhenzhong exerted a little force with his wrist, and the stick hit Xiao Chen's feet directly.

But what no one expected was that Xiao Zhenzhong used too much force, and the stick bounced back after hitting the ground, directly hitting Xiao Chen's calf.

"Ouch~"

A miserable cry immediately resounded in the central courtyard, and Xiao Chen was seen squatting down and rubbing his calves vigorously.

Not only Xiao Zhenzhong was confused by this scene, but even Old Man Xiao was no exception.

From the very beginning, the old man and Xiao Zhenzhong had agreed that one would play the good cop and the other the bad cop, just to put a tight ring on Xiao Chen and test his character.

But I never expected that an accident would happen in the last part.

Old Master Xiao glared at Xiao Zhenzhong, not knowing how hard to hit him. If he had spoken too late, the stick would have really fallen on Xiao Chen.

He looked at Xiao Chen who was squatting on the ground covering his legs, but was surprised to find that this kid's eyes were meowing at Xiao Zhenzhong from time to time, and there was no trace of the miserable cry as before.

It's obvious that this guy is also acting.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Mr. Xiao said unhappily, "Don't squat on the ground. If someone doesn't know, they would think your leg is seriously injured."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen immediately jumped up, walked to Old Man Xiao in two steps, and began to massage his shoulders attentively.

"Grandpa, who said it didn't hurt? My dad must have meant to kill me just now. If you hadn't stopped me in time, I would have fallen to the ground!" Xiao Chen didn't forget to put some eye drops on Xiao Zhenzhong at this time.

Xiao Zhenzhong, who originally felt a little guilty about his mistake, regretted it so much after hearing what his son said. If he had known earlier, he would have hit his bastard son directly with the stick.

It hurts so much that he is begging for mercy!

He looked at Xiao Chen with a gloomy face, threw the stick in his hand aside, sat back in his seat, picked up the tea that had already gone cold and started drinking it.

"Chen'er, you said on the phone before that Salman went to Su's place this morning?" Old Master Xiao asked with his head tilted, getting to the point.

"Hmm~" Xiao Chen nodded, "Although he said he was going to experience the breakfast culture of the imperial capital, Salman actually went there for Su Chen. I think he was going to implement the special economic zone."

"Based on the information Su Chen revealed to me, they are even more anxious than us."

"In addition, Su Chen has already discussed with Salman and will send a relevant team to the site in the near future to start construction of that economic zone!"

After listening to Xiao Chen's story, Old Man Xiao showed a faint smile on his face, but it was fleeting, and even Xiao Zhenzhong, who was sitting next to him, didn't notice it.

"Grandpa, there is one thing I don't understand. Why does it feel like Mr. Gou is more anxious than us?" Xiao Chen asked with a puzzled look on his face.

When Salman first gave Su Chen these four square kilometers as a gift, he felt incredible, as if he was dreaming.

After all, even if Salman becomes the crown prince now, he does not have the right to give such valuable things to others.

If Su Chen hadn't come to the old man at night and analyzed the matter carefully, he really wouldn't have been able to see the other meanings behind it.

But such a major event always takes time to plan, right? Looking at Salman's operation, he hopes that when they return home, China will send a professional construction team to go with them. Even Xiao Chen, who is not very sensitive to politics, found something wrong with that kind of urgency.

"The matter here is too complicated to be explained in a few words. You just need to know that the establishment of this special economic zone is a win-win situation for both of us. You are not allowed to consider other things!"

Old Master Xiao's words completely extinguished the curiosity that had just sprouted in Xiao Chen's heart.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen smacked his lips and nodded silently to show that he understood!

I asked about the conversation between Salman and Su Chen again, and there was basically nothing important, just some gossip.

But when he heard Salman invite Su Chen to open a mutton restaurant in Gou Da Hu's place, he paused slightly.

After understanding everything, Mr. Xiao didn't want to continue smelling the alcohol in Xiao Chen's mouth, so he said, "Okay, you drank a lot of alcohol at noon, go wash up and have a good rest!"

Xiao Chen didn't stop at all. He greeted the old man and Xiao Zhenzhong and walked towards his room.

After everyone left, Mr. Xiao looked at Xiao Zhenzhong and asked, "How is it, are you satisfied with Xiao Chen's performance?"

Xiao Zhenzhong curled his lips upon hearing this, wanting to express his dissatisfaction, but thinking of Xiao Chen's tough look before, he nodded slightly, "He is indeed a little better than the old blockhead, but only a little!"

When Mr. Xiao heard this, he almost rolled his eyes at Xiao Zhenzhong.

How could the third-generation legitimate son of the Xiao family be such a blockhead? It was just that he was too strictly disciplined in the past, which caused Xiao Chen's thinking to be a little rigid. He was still a little immature and not smooth enough in some major decision-making!
But since he met Su Chen, his thinking has gradually changed. He can make decisions on many things by himself, instead of asking Grandpa Xiao for instructions as before.

Looking back now, it was a good decision to ask Xiao Chen to sell the house in Shichahai.

You have to know that the house in the Shichahai courtyard, where Su Chen lives now, was originally planned by Xiao Chen to be built into a top private club in the imperial capital, specifically to accommodate top second-generations like him.

Otherwise, the basement would not be decorated in a club style!

It is precisely because some things went wrong that we have the current situation.

"How is your project going?" Old Master Xiao changed the subject and brought the topic to Xiao Zhenzhong.

When Xiao Zhenzhong heard this topic, a hint of excitement surprisingly appeared on his serious face.

"The infrastructure is ready, and other aspects are proceeding in an orderly manner. It is expected that the initial construction will be successful next month, and it should be put into other uses by the end of the year at the latest!"

"Alas, time waits for no one. Even the ready-made technology in front of us needs time to digest. The sooner it is realized, the more influential our voice will be, and the problems left over from history can be solved!"

There was also some melancholy on Mr. Xiao's face, but his eyes were full of anticipation.

"It will be soon, at the latest next year! We will usher in earth-shaking changes!" Xiao Zhenzhong's tone was unusually firm.

As night fell, Su Chen, who had just taken a light nap, poked his head out from under the quilt.

Looking at the dim sky outside the window, I didn't react for a moment.

"It's almost dark?"

Su Chen fumbled around on the bed before finding his cell phone under the quilt.

When he looked at the time, Su Chen exclaimed, "Wow, it's already past six in the evening. No wonder it has turned into dusk."

After stretching, Su Chen got up from the bed, went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed into a light home clothes, and then walked downstairs slowly.

"Well~ Pei Rang, when did you arrive?" As soon as Su Chen walked downstairs, he saw Pei Rang chatting with Chen Fei on the sofa.

"Boss, I just arrived a while ago. This is the company information you asked me to register!" Pei Rang responded while taking out a file bag from his bag.

Su Chen was more or less surprised by Pei Rang's appearance. After returning last night, Su Chen sent a message to Pei Rang, asking him to arrange for someone to re-register an investment company in Hong Kong to be used for the project on the side of Gou Da Hu.

What he didn't expect was that Pei Rang would be so quick. He got the job done in less than a day and even delivered it to the imperial capital personally.

Su Chen took the file bag, opened it and took out all the documents inside. He scanned it carefully and put it back after confirming that there was no problem.

"You're quite fast. I just told you about it last night and it was done today!" Su Chen praised Pei Rang's efficiency.

"Hehe, this is all thanks to your reputation, boss!"

Pei Rang smiled awkwardly, and then continued, "I called the Chen family in Hong Kong and asked them to handle it. Even these documents were sent here by a private plane arranged by the Chen family."

"Uh~" Su Chen suddenly felt that he was a bit hasty and praised Pei Rang too early.

I thought Pei Rang had gone through a lot of trouble to get it done, but I didn't expect it was just a phone call.

But then again, Pei, your brain is still working very quickly and you know how to make use of existing resources, which is quite good.

"Has the company recruited any top talents recently? Several projects in Zhengdao Park have been independently established as companies, and they need a management talent to take charge!"

"If not, I can only choose one from among you executives!"

Su Chen briefly told Pei Rang about the situation in the park, and then asked him to screen out suitable candidates based on his understanding.

Pei Rang's eyes lit up after hearing this. He already had a suitable candidate in mind, but he still needed to confirm some related matters.

He knew that there were many confidential projects in the Zhengdao Park, and background checks would definitely be needed on the people in charge.

"Boss, you are only responsible for managing the company. You don't need to manage research projects and other matters in the park?"

Su Chen nodded slightly and said, "Yes~that's right, this person in charge doesn't need to be exposed to any confidential matters, he just needs to run the company well!"

"If you're just looking at running the company, I actually have a suitable candidate!" Pei Rang said confidently.

Looking at Pei Rang's expression, Su Chen also became more curious, "Who makes you so confident? Tell me!"

"Ji Wenbo~ one of the most famous managers in the country. Previously, the people from Foxconn were planning to poach him to be the general manager, but I got him in the nick of time. I was thinking of making him the vice president of the group!"

"Boss, if you need anything, you can let him take charge of the new company!"

After hearing this, Su Chen did not answer immediately. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and searched for information about this person on the Internet.

I found that this man is not young, he is already 51 years old this year, but his qualifications are also quite impressive. He has served as the head of many companies, and during his tenure, the company's performance has increased year-on-year every year.

This alone is enough to show that this person is capable.

After thinking for a long time, Su Chen looked at Pei Rang and said, "Arrange for him to come to the imperial capital tomorrow. I want to see him first!"

"Okay, boss!"

Pei Rang quickly stood up, walked aside and made a phone call!
