Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?
Chapter 426 What’s the difference between this and the boy who brings wealth?
"A top young master in the imperial capital has actually fallen to the point of running errands for others. If this gets out, I'm afraid everyone in the circle will laugh their teeth off."
Xiao Chen looked at the courtyard house that was so close to him, then looked at the documents in his hand, shook his head helplessly, and walked forward and knocked on the gate of the courtyard house twice.
"I don't know if Su Chen has had breakfast at this time. I hope I can have some breakfast with him."
When Xiao Chen thought of the signature dishes of the eight major cuisines he tasted yesterday, his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, and he instantly felt a little hungry.
This morning, Xiao Chen didn't even have breakfast. He just wanted to complete the entry and exit procedures for Su Chen's manor on the mountain in the western suburbs. It took him an hour to go back and forth and run to several places before he got it done.
The key is that this procedure cannot be handled by other people. After all, not everyone can have access to the West Suburb Mountains.
If the old men had not nodded in agreement, even if Xiao Chen personally took action, he might not be able to complete the entry and exit procedures.
If Su Chen doesn't reward him well, it would be unacceptable.
Just as Xiao Chen was thinking about how to exploit Su Chen for a delicious meal, the door creaked open slowly, and he saw the housekeeper Jiang Hui poking his head out from the yard.
When he saw that it was Xiao Chen standing at the door, Butler Jiang quickly opened the two doors and said respectfully with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, good morning!"
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and responded with a smile: "Good morning, Butler Jiang, is Su Chen up yet?"
Butler Jiang quickly stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation, "Sir has been up for a while, and is fiddling with something with Xiaofei on the basement floor!"
"Okay, I'll go find him myself!" Xiao Chen didn't think much about it and walked towards the courtyard.
When he was about to reach the Chuihua Gate, Xiao Chen paused. He smelled a faint fragrance in the air.
"Butler Jiang, what's that smell? It smells so good." Xiao Chen's eyes lit up and he asked with a smile, "Could this be freshly made breakfast?"
Butler Jiang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but when he saw Xiao Chen's eyes filled with excitement, he understood what the man in front of him was thinking.
With a slight smile, he answered respectfully, "After the gentleman tasted the dishes yesterday, he kept the Cantonese chef here. This morning, he made a lot of classic Cantonese breakfasts, such as crab roe soup dumplings, black bean sauce chicken feet, shrimp dumplings, and more than a dozen other breakfasts, as well as freshly cooked chicken porridge."
"We just sent them to the basement. If Mr. Xiao had been quicker, they wouldn't have..."
Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Xiao Chen disappeared from his sight. When Jiang Hui raised his head, he found that he had walked to the moon gate in the central courtyard.
"Um... should I tell Mr. Xiao that there are backup snacks in the kitchen?" Jiang Hui muttered softly, but then he thought about it and decided to give up. After all, the person was gone, and it would be no problem to chase after him now.
It’s better to wait for notification. If there is not enough food, Chen Fei will call him using the portable walkie-talkie.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hui withdrew his gaze and walked towards the kitchen. He also wanted to try the long-missed Cantonese breakfast.
On the other side, when Xiao Chen took the elevator down to the basement, he was called out loudly as soon as he stepped out of the elevator: "Su..."
Before he even uttered the word "Chen", Xiao Chen looked at a translucent Buddha statue covered in glass in front of him, which looked lifelike under the ambient light.
He opened his mouth wide, looking at the scene in astonishment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
He walked quickly to the front of the Buddha statue and looked at it carefully through the transparent glass.
"Oh my god, this is pure glass-type imperial green. Look at the size of the Buddha statue, it's about half a meter tall. I'm afraid it won't cost more than 10 or 20 billion to buy this thing!"
Xiao Chen knew something about jade, so he could naturally tell whether this Buddha statue was genuine glass-type imperial green.
Besides, anything that Su Chen could place on the basement floor must be genuine stuff.
After circling around the glass cover for a few times, Xiao Chen became more and more frightened.
The carving of this Buddha statue is so exquisite that every detail is flawless, even the folds of the sleeves seem to be fluttering in the wind.
The value has exceeded his initial estimate. Nearly half a meter of glass-type imperial green can be said to be a rare thing in the world and can be called a rare treasure.
"Brother Chen, why are you here?" A lazy voice sounded beside him, and Xiao Chen, who was immersed in it, came back to his senses instantly.
Following the sound, I saw Su Chen leaning against the door frame, holding a half-eaten chicken claw in his hand, and a little crab roe at the corner of his mouth.
"Where did you get this treasure?" At this moment, Xiao Chen's mind had already fallen on the half-meter-tall imperial green Buddha statue. He no longer cared about the delicious Cantonese breakfast that he had been thinking about before.
After Su Chen quickly finished the chicken feet in his hand, he took the tissue on the bar and wiped his mouth. Then he walked to the imperial green Buddha statue, patted the glass cover, and explained: "After the Miandian incident was over, I handed over most of the properties there to Ye Feng."
"This thing was found when the Bai family counted all their assets in Miandian. There are two more like this one, but they are not Buddha statues, but two longevity peaches!"
"There are also some top-grade jadeite stones, all with windows cut into them. Oh, and besides these, there is also a complete set of furniture made of golden nanmu wood."
As he spoke, Su Chen pointed inside, indicating that the things were all there and he could go and take a look for himself.
Even Xiao Chen was stunned after listening to Su Chen's story.
He had known about the affairs of Mian Dian before, and had dealt with many people who were deceived and brought there at that time, but he had never imagined that Su Chen would have such a huge gain in addition to those industries.
There is also the Bai family’s private island, and the things inside are also of astonishing value.
If you think about it carefully, why does the Bai family seem like a boy who brings wealth, giving one surprise after another?
"Let's go and take a look at the longevity peaches and golden nanmu furniture you mentioned!" Xiao Chen pulled Su Chen's arm and walked inside.
When we arrived at the reception room at the back, we found that the original tables and chairs had disappeared. They had all been replaced with golden nanmu furniture, which looked golden under the light.
"You...you, you are too wasteful!" Xiao Chen widened his eyes and pointed at an eight-immortal table in the room.
The eight-immortals table was made of golden nanmu wood, and on it were placed more than a dozen plates of steaming Cantonese breakfast, without any heat insulation pads under the plates.
"If those collectors see this, I'm afraid they will curse you in their dreams at night!"
Su Chen shrugged indifferently, "This is my own thing, I can do whatever I want with it, do I have to depend on others' opinions?"
Su Chen looked at Fade Chen and said, "Xiao Fei, go get those two birthday peaches, along with the box."
Upon hearing this, Fade Chen walked quickly towards the room where the precious items were kept without any hesitation. After a while, he came back holding a delicate box that was nearly half a meter long and carefully placed it on the eight-immortal table.
Seeing this, Su Chen gave Xiao Chen a look, indicating him to open it and take a look.
Excited, Xiao Chen reached out to unfasten the lock on the box. When he opened the box, he saw two emerald green longevity peaches lying quietly on the velvet lining, shining brightly under the light.
The shock it gave Xiao Chen was even stronger than the previous Buddha statue.
Xiao Chen sucked in a breath of cold air, his fingers trembling slightly as he gently touched one of the longevity peaches. It felt cool and smooth, and he muttered to himself, "These two peaches look even more tempting than that cabbage!"
Su Chen naturally knew what the cabbage Xiao Chen was talking about. It was the emerald cabbage, a national treasure. It was a pity that it was still lost.
Sitting lazily on the golden nanmu chair, Su Chen picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it into his mouth, saying vaguely: "What else is there to say? Just take it back when you go back later."
"I was planning to give it to the old man, so I'll just let you take it back with you!"
"You said you're giving it to the old man?" Xiao Chen raised his head suddenly, his eyes wide open, "Do you know how much this thing is worth? You just give it away as soon as you say so? Aren't you afraid that the old man will see such an expensive gift and return it to you directly!"
"What's the matter?" Su Chen raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Aren't they just two glass beads of imperial green longevity peaches? To put it bluntly, they are just two stones."
"This thing is only valuable if it's in the hands of someone who knows the business. If it's in my hands, I'll probably put it in the treasure room."
"Instead of letting it gather dust, why not give it as a gift? Oh, and there are a few pieces of Imperial Green rough stones from the old pit. If you like them, you can pick one and take it with you when you leave."
Xiao Chen was speechless after hearing what Su Chen said. After a while, he shook his head with a wry smile, "You are really getting more and more generous! But you should deliver this thing yourself. If I take it back, I'm afraid that the old man will hang me on a tree and whip me like a spinning top."
There was nothing he could do about it. These two things were too valuable. If he accepted them, the old man would think he was just being envious. If Su Chen gave them personally, the meaning would be different.
Su Chen also knew that if he just gave it to him like this, Mr. Xiao might not accept it.
After thinking for a while, he asked curiously, "Um...Brother Chen, when is the old man's birthday?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen's face instantly showed a strange expression, "August 10th, which is next month, there are only ten days left, but the old man is not planning to have a big wedding, just a simple meal for the family and the old man's friends."
Hearing this, Su Chen showed a look of surprise on his face. Isn't this Qiao's mother opening the door for Qiao - Qiao is home.
When the time comes, give these two imperial green longevity peaches as birthday gifts. Is it possible that the old man will refuse?
Thinking of this, Su Chen told Xiao Chen about his idea and immediately got his approval.
"By the way, Brother Chen, why did you come back so early?" As Su Chen spoke, his eyes fell on the document in Xiao Chen's hand.
"Here, here you go, take a look!" Xiao Chen threw the document in front of Su Chen, sat down on the golden nanmu chair, picked up the chopsticks on the table and started eating, while shouting to Fade Chen, "Give me a bowl of chicken porridge!"
Looking at Xiao Chen who was enjoying his meal, Su Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, "Which snacks do you think are delicious? If there are not enough, let Chen Fei notify the kitchen to send them to you."
After saying that, Su Chen picked up the file bag and took out the contents.
There weren't many things, just a piece of information and a pass. The bright red seal on it made Su Chen's breathing become a little heavier.
"When you go to the mountain in the western suburbs, remember to hand the information to the guard at the foot of the mountain and ask them to register and keep it on file. Also..." Xiao Chen paused and said seriously, "When you go, it's best to drive your Hongqi N701. Don't drive any other car!"
"I understand!" Su Chen nodded seriously. He understood what Xiao Chen meant.
He stuffed the information and pass back into the file bag, placed it casually on the table beside him, and patted it twice.
……
"Hiccup~"
Xiao Chen leaned back in his chair and burped contentedly. Most of the breakfast snacks on the table went into his stomach.
Touching his round belly, he said with satisfaction, "This Cantonese chef's cooking skills are amazing! Just the breakfast alone makes me feel so good."
As he said that, he looked at Su Chen with a melancholy look on his face, "I really envy you, you can enjoy such delicious food anytime."
Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Xiao Chen.
Although people say that Cantonese chefs have great skills, what is the reality?
It was hinting to Su Chen whether he should take out the gold card, the symbol of identity of the private banquet club that was promised to him before.
How could Su Chen not understand Xiao Chen's little thoughts? He waved to Chen Fei and asked him to find the butler Jiang Hui. Currently, he was in charge of the private banquet hall, and even the gold membership card was with Jiang Hui.
By the way, ask the kitchen to send over a few servings of black bean sauce chicken feet. Su Chen has a special liking for these chicken feet and feels that they are much more delicious than those crab roe soup dumplings.
Chen Fei left quickly and came back quickly, but when he came back, he had several small steamers with steam coming out of them, which were filled with the black bean sauce chicken feet that Su Chen wanted to eat.
Smelling the fragrance in the air, Xiao Chen, who was already full, also cast a curious look.
When he came before, the last black bean sauce chicken foot was in Su Chen's mouth, so naturally he did not taste the deliciousness of the chicken foot.
Licking his dry lips, Xiao Chen said with a smile: "This chicken claw looks delicious. Oh, it's in the shape of tiger skin."
Su Chen shook his head helplessly, picked up a tray of chicken feet in black bean sauce, and handed it to Xiao Chen.
At the same time, Fade Chen took out a shining gold card from his pocket and placed it respectfully next to Xiao Chen's hand.
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately grabbed the gold card and looked at it over and over again.
The card is gilded all over, with intricate cloud patterns carved on the edges. The word "Tianque" is engraved in seal script in the middle, and a landscape painting is engraved on the back using micro-carving technology. When you change the angle under the light, you can even see the effect of flowing clouds.
"My goodness, you spent a lot of effort on this gold card!" Xiao Chen shook the gold card in his hand, "I'm afraid the cost of the craftsmanship is more expensive than the gold you used for this card!"
Su Chen, who was chewing chicken feet, responded vaguely: "I'm not sure either. I gave it to Jiang Hui to handle. I only made twenty in total."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen picked up the gold card and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, he found the number 1 in the cloud pattern, which meant that this card was his first membership card.
After playing with it for a while, he carefully put it into his bag, and tapped it twice with his hands, as if to make sure it was put away properly.
After putting the cards away, Xiao Chen suddenly discovered that in just two or three minutes, the chicken feet in front of Su Chen had been almost eaten up, and he would look at the chicken feet in front of him from time to time.
Xiao Chen immediately started to attack with both hands, picking up a chicken claw in one hand and starting to chew on it.
After he tasted the black bean sauce chicken feet, he finally understood why Su Chen loved to eat it so much.
The whole chicken feet is soft and boneless, and it requires basically no effort to make. Just use your tongue to lightly lick it. Coupled with the taste of the seasoning, Xiao Chen instantly fell in love with this breakfast.
"Hmm~ delicious! Xiaofei, do you have the soy sauce...soy sauce chicken feet?" Xiao Chen looked at Chen Fei with anticipation and asked.
"Boss, the last few trays of chicken feet are here! If you want to eat more, you'll have to wait until tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen could only nod helplessly.
"It's getting late. After eating and drinking, I should go back to report." Xiao Chen was about to get up and leave when something suddenly occurred to him.
He patted his forehead and muttered, "How could I almost forget the most important thing!"
"Brother Chen, what's the important matter?" Su Chen raised his head and asked.
He was sitting next to Xiao Chen, so naturally he heard his mutterings.
"We are already preparing for the matter you mentioned before. We will be able to set off in three days at most! How are you going to arrange the arrangements for your people?"
Although it was not explained, Su Chen guessed that Xiao Chen was talking about the B-series bomber found on the Bai family's private island.
After a brief pause, Su Chen made a decision, "I'll go there myself when the time comes, relax a little, and feel the charm of the private island."
Xiao Chen smacked his lips and felt terrible. He also wanted to take a holiday!
Who wouldn’t want to sunbathe on the beach and experience the fun of a private island?
Unfortunately... he can't! There are still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
"That's fine, you can make your own arrangements when the time comes! But you should also pay attention to the time, the old man's birthday is only ten days away, don't forget it while having fun!"
"When the personnel here are arranged, I will call you to inform you. If there is nothing else, I will leave first!" Xiao Chen said and walked towards the elevator.
After taking two steps, Su Chen called Xiao Chen and said, "Brother Chen, why don't you take the Imperial Green stone back with you?"
Xiao Chen paused, thought about it, and shook his head, "No need for now, let's talk about it after the old man's birthday!"
Hearing this, Su Chen didn't say much. He stood up and walked Xiao Chen all the way to the gate.
After sending the person away, Su Chen just turned around and was about to go back to the recliner in the middle courtyard to have a good rest when he heard another knock on the door.
Su Chen paused and looked back at the door, thinking that Xiao Chen had forgotten to take something or had forgotten to tell him something.
But when Jiang Hui opened the door, the person who came in was not Xiao Chen who had just left. (End of this chapter)
