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

Chapter 374: Night Market Trip!
Su Chen did not rush forward to say hello. When Chen Shufen had almost finished greeting everyone and returned to the store, Su Chen took Chen Fei in.

As soon as they reached the door, they were stopped by a young waitress who said apologetically, "Excuse me, handsome guys. The restaurant is full now. You will need to wait about half an hour to dine in. If you are willing to wait, you can get a number from me first."

Hearing this, Fade Chen was about to step forward and explain Su Chen's identity, but was stopped by Su Chen's gaze.

"I didn't expect your hot pot restaurant to be so popular. It's already full at just after five in the evening." While speaking, Su Chen took a closer look inside and discovered that the entire hot pot restaurant had two floors, and the space was very large. The first floor was at least nearly a thousand square meters.

I calculated in my mind that a place of nearly 1,000 square meters would need at least 60 to 70 tables. If it were two floors, there would be at least 120 tables. This number is a bit scary.

When the waiter heard Su Chen's words, his face was filled with pride and pride. "Don't think that our Shufen Hotpot has only been settled in Chengdu for a short time. With its excellent taste and fresh and affordable ingredients, it has captured the hearts of Chengdu people in a short period of time!"

"The dozen or so branches we opened are all very popular, with hundreds of tables lined up every day. It's even busier during holidays, with our main store even getting over a thousand people!"

"Is this true?" Even Su Chen was shocked by what the waiter said.

Just over a thousand, what does this mean?
I'm afraid that as soon as the door opens in the morning, people will come to eat hotpot.

The waiter glanced at Su Chen and Chen Fei, and when he saw the suitcase in Chen Fei's hand and the signs of checked-in on it, he immediately understood.

"You should be tourists who have just arrived in Chengdu. It's normal for you not to believe it. You can search on Douyin and you will know whether what I said is true!"

Looking at the waitress's confident look, Su Chen knew that she was not lying. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his mother was really amazing. She really let her spread Shufen's name in the land of Rongcheng.

"Handsome guys, do you still want to eat? If so, I'll get a number for you." The waiter shook the number-taking machine in his hand and gestured to Su Chen and the others.

Su Chen did not respond to the waiter's words, mainly because he saw Chen Shufen walking quickly towards the door, obviously having discovered them standing at the door.

"Boss..." When the waiter saw Chen Shufen coming out, he quickly called out respectfully.

Chen Shufen did not respond to the waiter's words. Instead, she looked at Su Chen excitedly, but her words were not merciful at all. "You bastard, if you don't want to come in, do you want me to come and invite you in person?"

Su Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, can I say that I have only been here for a few minutes?"

Chen Shufen didn't care about that. She pulled Su Chen towards the store, not forgetting Chen Fei who was carrying the luggage. "Xiao Fei, you should catch up too."

The waitress hadn't recovered from the shocking news yet, and it was only when a customer asked for a number that she reacted.

After taking the number for the customer, he turned around and looked at Chen Shufen and Su Chen who had disappeared long ago, muttering to himself: "That was the boss's son. I didn't expect him to be so young. I don't know if he has a girlfriend."

"I just hope the boss's son is not a scumbag, otherwise the young girls in the store will be completely obsessed with him."

The waitress shook her head slightly. She thought Su Chen came from somewhere else just to take over the hot pot restaurant in Rongcheng.

……

On the other side, Chen Shufen pulled Su Chen into the store and went straight to the second floor.

When he arrived at the second floor, Su Chen found that it was completely different from the first floor. It was not filled with tables like the first floor, but was carefully decorated like a private room.

Su Chen only learned about the situation of this hot pot restaurant from Chen Shufen, which was very different from what Su Chen had expected before.

The entire hot pot restaurant has one hundred tables, eighty on the first floor and twenty independent private rooms on the second floor.

In addition, there is an office where Chen Shufen works and a finance office, both of which are in a corner on the second floor, separated from other private rooms.

"I didn't realize you were enjoying it so much, mom!" Su Chen sat down on a reclining sofa, which even had a small stool for his feet. It was so comfortable.

Chen Shufen, who was pouring water, heard this and said with a smug smile: "Huh, your mother works so hard and I can't even enjoy myself!"

"Why not? I think you should find a professional team to manage it, and you can just sit back and collect the money at home!"

"It's a good thing to go traveling with my dad occasionally. Why do we have to do everything ourselves like we do now?"

However, Su Chen also understood what his mother and the others were thinking. They simply couldn't stay at home, and being busy like this would make their lives more fulfilling.

In addition...Shufen Hotpot was built by Chen Shufen through hard work. How could she bear to hand over this "son" to someone else to manage?

Speaking of traveling, Su Chen thought of his sister Su Qingya who was sent back before, and quickly sat up and asked: "By the way, Mom, how is Qingya now? Has she come out of the previous haze?"

"Come, drink some water first. It's extremely hot today!" After placing the poured water in front of Su Chen and Chen Fei, Chen Shufen sat down next to Su Chen with a melancholy look on her face.

"It's okay. Qingya is a carefree girl. She wasn't hurt, so she was taken on a trip by your uncle and his wife. They should be in southern Xinjiang now."

"Should? Could it be that Uncle San and the others are on a self-driving tour?" Su Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip. Hearing something else in his mother's words, he asked curiously.

Chen Shufen nodded, "Yes, it was a self-driving tour. We first went to Lijiang and Dali in Yunnan. Then, for some reason, we wanted to visit northern Xinjiang, so we went there instead."

"That girl Qingya posted a lot of videos in the group before. Didn't you see them?"

Hearing this, Su Chen was speechless on the spot. He had set all the groups in the green bubble to do not disturb. Besides, he was busy at that time and had no time to check the group messages.

Thinking of this, I took out my mobile phone from my pocket, found the group of "Loving Family", clicked on it directly, and found that the number of messages had already reached 999+!

After a quick look, I found some clues from the chat.

It turned out that after Uncle San and his friends had been playing in Yunnan for a few days, they wanted to go to Tibet. However, the high altitude there made them suffer from altitude sickness, so they were persuaded to give up the idea. That's when they came up with the idea of ​​going to northern Xinjiang.

I flipped through the video and I have to say that girls are girls after all, the videos they shoot are just beautiful. Unlike the videos shot by grown men like them, I have no desire to watch them at all.

Just as I was about to put away my phone, I saw Su Qingya posted a photo in the group. It was a photo of my third uncle and aunt standing on a grassland with an endless lake behind them.

The azure sky makes the entire lake surface appear light blue, which makes it look particularly beautiful.

The scenery in the photo instantly attracted Su Chen's attention. Before he could ask where this place was, Su Qingya sent another message - Check in at Sailimu Lake!

"Sailimu Lake?" Su Chen had heard of this place, thanks to a comment from a CCTV host.

If you haven’t been to Sailimu Lake, your life will be wasted!
Just like what Chen Mo said in the movie Passing By Your World and in the radio program, there is a place called Daocheng, and I want to go there with my beloved... Countless people flocked to Daocheng.

Sailimu Lake is no exception. A word from the CCTV host has allowed more people to see this already beautiful place.

After chatting with his mother Chen Shufen for less than ten minutes, Chen Shufen was called away by the waiter. Su Chen originally wanted to help, but was rejected by Chen Shufen.

In her words, "My precious son finally came back, how could I ask you to help him?"

Su Chen also knew that Chen Shufen was a man of her word, so he did not force her. He sat in the office with Chen Fei, playing with their phones and watching the scenery videos in the group.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was past eight o'clock in the evening. The sky had already darkened, and the hot pot restaurant became more lively.

Smelling the aroma in the air, Su Chen couldn't help himself after all, and stood up and said to Fade Chen: "Let's go, let's go around and see if there's anything delicious. Also, call Hou Ting and ask him to come out for a midnight snack."

Chen Fei did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately called Hou Ting to explain his purpose. He muttered a few words and hung up the phone.

"Mr. Hou is nearby. He will be here soon. Let's wait for him for five minutes!"

"Well, go and tell me first!" After saying that, he opened the door and the two of them walked downstairs.

When he came downstairs, Su Chen realized how spectacular it was to have one or two hundred people eating hot pot at the same time. Waiters in uniform were shuttling between the tables.

After observing for a while, Su Chen saw Chen Shufen busy at the cash register.

"You spent 368, just pay 350!" Chen Shufen had just finished paying a customer's bill when she saw Su Chen and the other man coming over.

"Are you hungry? Wait a moment. The private room upstairs will be open soon. You can go directly there then."

Su Chen shook his head slightly, "Mom, no need, Hou Ting and I have an appointment to have dinner together, so we won't eat in the store!"

Chen Shufen naturally also knew Hou Ting, and Hou Ting helped a lot when she was looking for locations for her hot pot restaurants.

"That's fine. By the way, your father and I bought a large flat nearby. If you come back, I'll give you the key!"

Hearing this, Su Chen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his mother and her family would be so quick this time and directly bought an apartment, unlike before in the Fog City where they still lived in a house.

She immediately smiled and joked, "Sure, Mom, you're finally willing to spend money. If I remember correctly, this area should be within the first ring road of Chengdu. The price should not be cheap."

“Without a few hundred or even tens of millions, I’m afraid it’s impossible to afford a large flat!”

Chen Shufen immediately rolled her eyes and scolded with a smile: "You bastard, you dare to tease your mother, right? Get lost, don't disturb me here."

Su Chen grinned and took Fade Chen out of the hot pot restaurant. Before leaving, he said, "Mom, I won't go back, so as not to disturb you and Dad's world of two."

These words immediately caused a burst of laughter from the people nearby, and Chen Shufen was so angry that she wanted to call Su Chen back and give him a good lecture.

"You little brat, you're getting more and more courageous!"

……

As soon as they reached the side of the road, the Bentley that had picked them up at the airport stopped in front of Su Chen.

To Su Chen's surprise, the person driving the car was Hou Ting himself.

"Thank you, Young Master Hou, for being my driver today!" Su Chen opened the passenger door with a smile and prepared to get in.

Chen Fei was completely confused when he saw this scene. Su Chen was sitting in the passenger seat, so where should he sit?

If I sit in the back row, wouldn't it be a bit unnatural?

Seeing that Fade Chen was still standing there in a daze, Su Chen immediately understood what this guy was thinking. He smiled and joked, "What? Do you want me to open the back door for you myself? Why don't you get in the car quickly?"

Hearing this, Fade Chen scratched his head embarrassedly, and immediately opened the back door and sat in. After all, Su Chen had spoken personally, and there was nothing wrong with sitting in the back seat.

"Master Su, where are we going? Should we find a good private restaurant or go to a lively night market food stall?"

He had heard of Su Chen. He was more casual than peeling onions. He often went to some food stalls or small restaurants to eat. As long as the food was good, he was not picky about the place.

"Let's go to a food stall. It's more lively. A midnight snack should have the atmosphere of fireworks to be called a midnight snack."

Su Chen had heard about the nightlife in Chengdu a long time ago. Now that he was here, he naturally wanted to experience it well.

Hou Ting thought for a moment and thought of a place. "Why don't we go to Xi Street Night Market? There is a food stall there, but it's a little far from where we are now. It takes 20 to 30 minutes to drive there."

"I went there once before, it was pretty good, but you had to grab the food yourself!"

"Well, do you need to grab the food yourself?" Su Chen immediately became interested. What kind of food stall would let diners grab the food themselves?

"Let's go to this one. I want to see what it's like." Su Chen pulled the seat belt and fastened it, signaling Hou Ting that they could set off.

When the car drove into Xi Street Night Market, Su's eyes suddenly lit up!
The whole street is brightly lit and bustling with people. All kinds of stalls are lined up on both sides of the street. The air is filled with the smell of various delicacies. Anyone who comes here has to stop and take a look.

Hou Ting parked the car skillfully on the side of the road, pointed to a small stall not far away that was already crowded with people and said, "Look, that's the food stall I mentioned that needs to grab the food."

Looking at the food stall that was surrounded by at least a dozen people, Su Chen silently turned his head and glanced at Fade Chen who was sitting in the back row, "I'm counting on you later, Fade!"

Chen Fei naturally saw the situation. It was just a matter of grabbing food, not charging with explosives. How difficult would it be? He patted his chest and assured, "Boss, don't worry. I promise you will enjoy your meal."

Su Chen and Hou Ting looked at Chen Fei's confident face and laughed at the same time.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

As they spoke, the three of them opened the car door and walked towards the food stall.
