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

"The north wind is urging the morning to come, and the mountains are half covered in clouds. I didn't expect that the morning in the northwest would be so different!"

Sitting on a stone beside the Su Chen River, he looked at the fog-shrouded mountains in the distance and sighed softly.

After finishing the Wang family's business last night, Su Chen was ready to return to the city, but Chen Zhenshan and his wife tried their best to keep him, saying that it was unsafe to drive in the mountainous area at night. He had no choice but to stay at Chen's house for one night.

As we all know, due to geographical factors and the large temperature difference between day and night in Gansu Province, except for the high-rise buildings in the city, most of the self-built houses in towns like Menguan Town are pits.

Perhaps it was because Su Chen was used to a good life, and he suddenly had to sleep on a hard earthen kang, which made him unable to adapt for a while, and he did not sleep well.

So, I got up at dawn and strolled along the river that runs through the town.

"Boss." Just as Su Chen was admiring the beautiful scenery in the mountains, a slightly anxious voice sounded from behind Su Chen.

"Huh? What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?" Su Chen turned around and looked at Chen Fei and smiled.

Seeing that Su Chen was safe and sound, Fade Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

A few minutes ago, Chen Fei went to the bedroom to wake Su Chen up for breakfast. However, after knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response from inside the room. When he opened the door, he found that Su Chen was not in the room.

When he touched the quilt on the earthen kang, it was already cold, and even the cell phone was placed beside the bed. This scared Chen Fei to death. He thought that Su Chen had an accident when he got up at night, so he hurried to look for him.

Fade Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned, "Boss, you left home so early in the morning without telling me. I thought something happened to you."

Hearing this, Su Chen smiled and patted his shoulder, "It's my first time sleeping on that earthen kang, I'm a little uncomfortable, so I just went out for a walk at dawn. The air in the mountains is really fresh, much more comfortable than in the city!"

As he spoke, Su Chen took a few deep breaths. A cool scent of fragrant grass rushed into his body, making him feel much more awake.

Hearing Su Chen's praise, Fade Chen smiled even more. "That's right. Although the conditions here are a bit poor, the scenery is outstanding in the whole Gansu Province. By the way, my mother cooked mutton soup and steamed buns. They are more delicious when eaten while hot. Boss, shall we go back now?"

When Su Chen heard about mutton soup, his stomach growled at the right time. "Haha, my stomach has spoken my thoughts. Let's go and try Auntie's cooking!"

Many people in the towns and villages in Gansu Province mainly engage in grazing. Not every household has sheep, but the vast majority of them do. After all, this is one of the few sources of income for them besides farming.

The two walked back along the river. Menguan Town was gradually waking up in the early morning, and the two few breakfast shops on the roadside were also busy.

Some residents who got up early squatted in front of the courtyard gate in twos and threes, eating from their bowls and chatting with their neighbors. When they saw the two people passing by, they smiled, nodded and greeted them.

Chen Fei, in particular, attracted a lot of attention. The news that he drove back two luxury cars yesterday had already spread throughout the town. Naturally, he was a hot commodity in the eyes of many people.

There were even several middle-aged women who stopped the two of them and asked Chen Fei if he had a date and if he wanted them to introduce him to someone...

Chen Fei had to spend countless words to reject the kindness of these aunties.

"Of course, A Fei, you have become a flower in Menguan Town. Look at the lively scene just now, how popular you are." Su Chen joked with a playful look on his face.

Chen Fei immediately made a bitter face and grumbled, "Boss, you know why those people came. They saw the two luxury cars at the door. If there were no two cars, would you have seen the scene just now?"

There is indeed nothing wrong with what he said. In a small mountain town like Menguan Town, who wouldn't hope that their daughter could find a rich man to take their whole family out of this remote place?

When approaching the Chen family's yard, Su Chen found that many people were walking towards the bus station in the village. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Where are these people going so early? Are they going to the county market?"

Chen Fei calculated in his mind and found that there were still several days before the big market in the county.

"The big market in our county is on the 10th and 25th of every month. Today is only the 21st, so we shouldn't be going to the market."

Su Chen nodded when he heard it, without thinking too much. He was just curious for a moment. Seeing that he had already arrived at the gate of Chen's yard, he immediately prepared to push the door open and go in.

"Boss, wait a minute!" Chen Fei behind him hurriedly called out to Su Chen.

"Hmm?" Su Chen paused and looked back at Fade Chen with a hint of confusion, "What's the matter?"

Fade Chen hesitated for a moment and said a little embarrassedly: "Boss, I have something I want to discuss with you!"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows, withdrew his hand that was about to push the door, walked to the side, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Chen Fei, and then lit one for himself. After puffing on the smoke for a while, he asked, "You are so mysterious, tell me, what's the matter!"

"Ahem!" Fade Chen coughed twice tactically before explaining, "It's not a big deal. My dad and I discussed it last night and wanted to expand the scale of the Wang family's businesses so that more people can have employment opportunities and achieve common prosperity."

"In addition... my father also plans to set aside a portion of the money every year to improve the teaching conditions of Menguan Town Primary School."

After saying that, Fade Chen glanced at Su Chen. Seeing that Su Chen looked normal, he felt a little relieved.

Su Chen took a deep breath of cigarette and exhaled slowly. His eyes became more profound in the smoke and a playful smile appeared on his face. "Your intention is not to stay at the bar!"

Su Chen remembered the Wang family's factories very clearly. Two of them could not be expanded easily as they were both manual labor. The most important thing was that the market demand was not very high, so there was basically no need to expand.

There is only one factory that specializes in growing wood ear mushrooms and can expand on a large scale with technical support.

After all, as long as you master the fungus strains and a good environment, you can cultivate high-quality black fungus indefinitely and bring endless benefits.

But does Chen Zhenshan have such a channel?
No!

Now the only one who has this channel and is familiar with it is Su Chen.

"You are not telling me about expanding the scale, but you want me to find some experts in Konoha planting for you!"

Seeing that his little trick was exposed, Fade Chen simply nodded and admitted, "Boss is really good. He saw through my little trick at a glance. I do have this idea. After all, we don't have any relevant connections in this area, so I thought of asking the boss for help!"

"Hahaha!" Su Chen chuckled, and his expression instantly became serious, "Who said you don't have any connections? You do!"

"I have?!" Chen Fei opened his mouth wide when he heard that and looked at Su Chen in surprise. He couldn't figure out where his connections were.

Su Chen naturally took in Chen Fei's expression, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Chen Fei was too honest. If it were Xiao Peng, he would have reacted long ago.

"Don't understand yet?"

Fade Chen scratched his head awkwardly, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Boss, please don't keep me in suspense. I just can't wrap my head around this."

"Ah!" Su Chen sighed helplessly, but he should be thankful that Chen Fei was a simple man. If he had some ulterior motives, Su Chen would not trust him so much. "Do you have Pei Rang's phone number?"

"Yes!" Fade Chen nodded quickly in response.

"You also have the phone numbers of Zong Xinyao, Professor Wu, and Old Man Chen, right?"

Chen Fei nodded, not quite understanding.

Su Chen patted Fade Chen on the shoulder and taught him earnestly, "That's it, aren't these your ready-made connections?
"You must remember that I, Su Chen, am standing behind you. As my personal bodyguard, your words and actions represent me to a certain extent!"

"As a professor of black fungus, it would be easy for them to call any of them!"

"Even if you're afraid of causing trouble for them, you can call the person in charge of the Gansu Province Sunshine Project. You just need to give the order and someone will run errands for you. Do you understand?"

Some things only need to be mentioned briefly, and the rest needs to be figured out by himself. It is impossible to explain it to him all the time.

After saying that, Su Chen glanced at Chen Fei who was lost in thought, opened the door and walked into the yard. He was still muttering about the mutton soup made by Chen's mother.

Fade Chen stood there, stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He patted his forehead and said with sudden realization: "Look at my pig brain, how come I didn't think of this."

He hurried into the yard and saw Su Chen, Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyu sitting at the wooden table, drinking mutton soup and eating steamed buns.

"The mutton soup made by Auntie is fragrant, the soup is snow-white, and with some chopped green onions, it's really delicious!" Su Yan praised with a satisfied look on his face.

"Boss, I understand!" Chen Fei ran to Su Chen excitedly, and was about to speak when Su Chen raised his hand to interrupt him.

"It's all right as long as you understand it, but you have to remember one thing, it can only be done for serious business. If you do something messy, you will go back to town and grow corn for the rest of your life!"

"Hehe, boss, don't worry! You know what kind of person I, Chen Fei, am!" Chen Fei immediately took over the conversation and assured him, patting his chest.

At this time, Chen Zhenshan came out with a pot of mutton soup. Chen Fei immediately went up to him and took the mutton soup.

After putting it on the table, Fade Chen thought of what Su Chen had asked him on the way back, and looked at Chen Zhenshan and asked, "Dad, is there anything going on in the county today? I see many people in the town are taking the bus to the county."

"The county?" Chen Zhenshan was stunned for a moment, but soon remembered, "Oh, about this matter, the county invited the most famous Qinqiang Opera Troupe in Gansu Province to perform here for three days, and also specially organized some folk art exhibitions. Mr. Su, if you are interested, you can go and have a look!"

Although Su Chen had never heard Qinqiang in person, it did not prevent him from knowing the great reputation of Qinqiang. As one of the oldest Chinese opera genres, the high-pitched and passionate singing style of Qinqiang has echoed on the Loess Plateau in the northwest for thousands of years.

Among the folk arts, what impressed Su Chen the most was paper-cutting. A simple piece of red paper was turned into a beautiful painting or the shapes of various animals in the hands of those craftsmen.

To be honest, Su Chen had wanted to see it for a long time, but he never had the chance.

Su Chen did not rush to express his opinion, but instead looked at Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyu beside him. They had originally planned to go to the Maijishan Grottoes. If they went to the county to watch Qinqiang and folk art, the time might have to be postponed again.

Seeing the look from his elder brother, Su Yan immediately understood, put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and said with a smile: "Brother, I want to go and have a look. As for the Maijishan Grottoes, I can go anytime, but this Qinqiang performance is a once in a lifetime experience!"

Lin Xiaoyu on the side also nodded and agreed: "Yes, big brother, at most we can stay in Tianshui for one more day. We are here to have fun, and of course we have to participate in interesting things!"

Seeing that both of them looked very excited, Su Chen made a decision and set off for the county after drinking the mutton soup!
"Uncle Chen, will you and aunt come with us to watch the fun?" Su Chen certainly did not forget Chen Zhenshan. As a native of the northwest, he must be very fond of Qinqiang.

Chen Zhenshan and his wife looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. "Mr. Su, we won't go. I have to go to those factories with Wang Fugui later to handle the handover procedures."

"You guys go ahead. Zhenshan and I have watched this Qinqiang opera many times. It doesn't matter if you don't go to see it once!" Chen's mother explained with a smile.

Things have come to this point, if Su Chen continues to persuade him, it would be a bit too much.

"Okay then!" Su Chen nodded, and then he looked at Chen Fei and said, "You should also solve the things we talked about before as soon as possible, so as not to forget about it later and delay Uncle Chen's work!"

Chen Fei naturally understood what Su Chen was talking about and nodded to show that he understood.

After breakfast, Su Chen and the others did not stay in the Chen family for too long. They packed up their things and set off for the county.

Along the way, Su Chen and his team drove very slowly, not because the road was bad, but because there were a lot of cars on the road to the county town.

You know, when they came yesterday, they didn’t see any cars along the way, but today... tricycles, motorcycles, electric scooters, as long as they can be driven on the road, can be seen on the road to the county town.

Chen Fei also increased his concentration, because who knows if a tricycle might suddenly turn in front of him.

Instead of talking to those gray-haired old people about road safety laws, you might as well slow down your speed to prevent any accidents.

We drove at a speed of several dozen miles per hour all the way to the county town.

The journey that was supposed to take more than an hour took two and a half hours, which made Su Chen and the other three very angry.

When Su Chen and his companions entered the county town and rushed to the main venue of Qinqiang, they truly experienced the charm of Qinqiang. It was not because the Qinqiang was sung so well, but because there were so many people going to watch Qinqiang that the cars could not move.

Not to mention watching Qinqiang, even the main venue was nowhere to be seen.

"Oh my God, Ah Fei, were there so many people watching Qinqiang before?" After wandering for half an hour, I finally arrived at the outskirts of the main venue. What caught my eyes was a densely packed crowd, the kind that seemed to have no end in sight.

This reminded Su Chen of the scene when he was in Manchester City, watching a football match, with twenty or thirty thousand fans gathered together and cheering.

The Qinqiang scene was even more excessive, with at least tens of thousands of people on the scene. Su Chen saw many law enforcement officers maintaining order around.

"Um... Boss, to be honest, this is the first time I've seen something of this scale." Chen Fei was a little confused when he saw the scene in front of him.

With so many people, forget about going to see Qinqiang. You’d be awesome if you could squeeze into the main venue!

"Zizi, brother, are we still going to watch it?" At this time, Su Yan's voice came from the intercom, and he was obviously shocked by the scene.

Su Chen was silent for a moment before picking up the intercom and responding, "We won't be going to the main venue for now. Let's go to the folk art area."

The folk art exhibition was not held at the main venue, but was arranged outside the venue. Interestingly, there were not many people at the folk art side, which formed a sharp contrast with the Qinqiang main venue. (End of this chapter)
