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

Deyun Hongshi Club!

Lao Guo was sitting in a room with Yu Qian and several of his close disciples, drinking tea and discussing the upcoming crosstalk show to be hosted by Xiao Yueyue and his partner Sun Yue.

With Xiao Yueyue and Sun Yue's performances in the Spring Festival Gala, as well as some outstanding performances later, the two have become more and more popular with the audience.

Lao Guo was thinking of making a big move and inviting some important guests in the entertainment industry to give a boost to Yue and Sun's crosstalk show, so as to achieve greater success in the crosstalk circle and even the entertainment circle.

"Old Guo, you're the only one with the widest network of contacts in the entertainment industry, so you'll have to put in more effort. The most I can do is to bring Wu Jing and his wife over to help increase our popularity." Yu Qian put down the teacup in his hand, his tone euphemistic.

Old Guo naturally understood and nodded silently. He then glanced at his other disciples, wanting to ask them to see if there was anyone famous around them, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

Among his disciples, only Xiao Yueyue has some fame in the entertainment industry. As for the others... he still has some self-awareness.

"Okay, I'll take responsibility for this matter. Since we're going to do it, we have to do it beautifully!" Although Lao Guo spoke with such high spirits, he was unsure in his heart. He always felt that a big Buddha was missing to calm the situation.

He was thinking frantically in his mind, which big shot is in the capital? A young figure quickly flashed in Lao Guo's mind. If this person appeared, he would definitely be able to dominate the scene.

"Uncle Qian, do you think we should invite Mr. Su to join Xiao Yueyue and their crosstalk show?" A hint of joy flashed in Lao Guo's eyes, and he looked at his old partner excitedly.

But what greeted him was Yu Qian's bitter smile.

"Old Guo~" Yu Qian reached out and touched Old Guo's forehead, feeling a cool sensation. "You don't have a fever, so why are you saying such nonsense?"

"Don't you see the gap between us and Mr. Su? There's a world of difference between us. How dare you ask me to invite him? You don't think that just because we have a little cooperation, you can be so justified, right?" Yu Qian showed no mercy to the little fat man.

As an old partner for so many years, he still didn't know what Lao Guo was thinking, which was nothing more than asking him to use that insignificant friendship to "coerce" Su Chen.

He knew Su Chen's background better than Lao Guo. After all, he had a better relationship with Wu Jing, and they often drank together in private.

As everyone knows, men... especially middle-aged men, like to brag whenever they drink a little. Wu Jing is no exception. After drinking, he naturally talked about Su Chen's situation.

Of course, this information is all irrelevant, but it also allows Yu Qian to know the tip of the iceberg of Su Chen, which is even bigger than he originally imagined.

This makes Su Chen's friendship particularly precious. If it were to be wasted on a crosstalk show, even if it was for the sake of making Deyun Club better, Yu Qian could still distinguish between the two.

Hearing his old partner's rejection, Lao Guo's already dark face became even darker.

He was not angry with Yu Qian, but embarrassed. After all, Yu Qian had dismantled his stairs in front of these disciples. How could he not be embarrassed?

However, he also knew the character of his old partner. After thinking for a while, he nodded helplessly and said, "Ah, I was a little bit arrogant! Come to think of it, how could someone of Mr. Su's status lower himself to appear in such an occasion."

As soon as the words fell, a gentle opera voice sounded, "The peach leaves are pointed, and the willow leaves cover the sky..."

Everyone in the room immediately focused their attention on the source of the sound - Yu Qian's thigh.

No...it should be said that it is Yu Qian’s trouser pocket.

Yu Qian didn't expect that someone would call him at this time. After a brief pause, he immediately took out his cell phone.

When he saw the caller ID, he was so shocked that his mouth opened wide.

Seeing Yu Qian's shocked expression, Lao Guo raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Uncle Qian, why didn't you answer the call? Could it be that Xiao Taohong called and it's inconvenient for us to hear it?"

These words caught them off guard. Xiao Yueyue and his disciples all covered their mouths and laughed quietly. Their shaking shoulders showed how happy they were.

Yu Qian came to his senses immediately after hearing what Lao Guo said. He turned to Lao Guo and said, "Speak of the devil, the devil will appear! We just talked about Mr. Su, and Mr. Su called me!"

Upon hearing this, Lao Guo's face turned red instantly. He immediately waved to his disciples, signaling them to go out quickly. At the same time, he gave Yu Qian a look, signaling him to tell Mr. Su about his thoughts just now.

Looking at his old partner's pleading eyes, Yu Qian could only nod helplessly to show that he understood, and then answered the phone.

"Mr. Su! Ah~ yeah! OK~ I understand!"

The call was unexpectedly fast, less than twenty seconds from the time the call was answered to the time it was hung up, which made Old Guo at the side stare with his eyes wide open.

"This...it's hung up already?!" Old Guo looked at the phone in Yu Qian's hand. His originally excited heart seemed to have encountered a snowstorm and was instantly frozen to death.

Seeing Lao Guo's sad face, Yu Qian immediately smiled, "What are you thinking about? Mr. Su asked me to go to the courtyard, saying that he wanted to discuss something with me."

"Hmm?" When Lao Guo heard this, he felt that he was fine again, and hurriedly instructed: "The invitation is left to you. If Mr. Su has time, try your best to get Mr. Su's consent!"

"Okay, I know!" Yu Qian said as he stood up, nodded to Lao Guo, and walked quickly outside with his cell phone.

As Lao Guo looked at Yu Qian's departing back, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. If he had been closer to Yu Qian at the beginning, perhaps his relationship with Mr. Su would have been like Yu Qian's. This would have been like finding a stabilizing force for Deyun Club.

But... it's too late to say this now. Mr. Su is the one he looks up to.

……

On the other side, after Yu Qian left the Hongshi Club, he called his apprentice and drove straight to the courtyard in Shichahai.

It took nearly an hour to get to the Siheyuan from the East Fifth Ring Road to the North Second Ring Road, even though we drove fast all the way.

Just as he reached the front door, before he could ring the doorbell, the door creaked and slowly opened inwards.

Jiang Hui's figure appeared in Yu Qian's sight. Before he could say anything, Jiang Hui respectfully gestured, "Mr. Yu, please come in!"

"Thank you for your help, Butler Jiang!" Yu Qian nodded politely and walked in.

But he didn't walk far. He stopped after three or five steps and waited quietly for Jiang Hui to close the door.

It's not that he didn't know which way to go, but he had heard from Wu Jing before that there was a ferocious tiger kept in Mr. Su's courtyard, and its body length including tail was at least several meters.

The most important thing is that this tiger is free-range, not locked in a cage, but allowed to roam around the courtyard.

If Yu Qian were to go in alone, who knows if he would run into the tiger. If he really did, given Yu Qian's physique, he might just be able to fill the tiger's stomach.

Jiang Hui turned around and saw Yu Qianjing waiting beside him. A flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he immediately figured it out and said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, come with me!"

As he spoke, Jiang Hui took the lead and walked inside. Seeing this, Yu Qian followed him.

When they passed through the hanging flower gate and walked to the corridor, Yu Qian saw the tiger that Wu Jing had mentioned, lying under the pavilion in the middle courtyard, with its big head resting on a chair, sleeping soundly.

As if sensing a strange smell, Fat Tiger opened his eyes and looked towards Yu Qian. After seeing Jiang Hui, he retracted his gaze and continued to sleep.

But this look hurt Yu Qian badly.

Yu Qian, who had been paying attention, happened to meet Fat Tiger's eyes. He was so scared that his heart trembled and his whole body shivered.

He now understood why Wu Jing trembled when she talked to him before. Anyone would be scared if they were in his place.

He has his own small zoo, so he can naturally tell the difference between domestic and wild animals. With just one glance, Yu Qian knew that the tiger not far away was wild, and the purest kind.

I immediately felt admiration for Su Chen. What kind of ability could make a tiger active in the wilderness become as powerful as a domestic cat?

This reminded him of the time when Su Chen went to his zoo. The unruly horses he raised became exceptionally docile in front of Su Chen.

"Is this because of Mr. Su's unique charm? Or is he born with an aura that makes animals friendly?" Yu Qian couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

"Mr. Yu, we're here! The master is waiting for you inside!"

At this moment, Jiang Hui's voice rang in his ears, and Yu Qian, who was somewhat absent-minded, came back to his senses in an instant, and found that they had arrived in front of the reception room in the backyard.

He calmed his thoughts, smiled and nodded to Butler Jiang Hui, saying, "Thank you for your help, Butler Jiang!"

Jiang Hui did not respond, but smiled and opened the door to the living room, indicating that Yu Qian could go in.

Yu Qian took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and walked in.

As soon as I entered, I saw Su Chen sitting up from the sofa and yawning. It was obvious that he had just woken up!

It was possible that his arrival disturbed Su Chen's sleep.

"Brother Qian, you're here, come and sit down! Do you want tea or freshly squeezed juice?" Su Chen narrowed his eyes and pointed at the sofa next to him. "Freshly squeezed juice, it's better to drink this in this weather!" Seeing that Su Chen didn't have any morning grumpiness, Yu Qian's heart also settled down. He quickly walked to the designated sofa, sat down, and responded with a smile.

Su Chen nodded when he heard this, then turned to Chen Fei and gave him a look, saying, "Make two glasses of iced freshly squeezed juice, and use the special glass you bought for me."

Chen Fei nodded after hearing this, then turned and left.

But when he turned around, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He clearly remembered that the cup in Su Chen's mouth took a six-pound watermelon to be barely filled last time.

It can be said that there is no fruit that Su Chen doesn't like, but if he has to choose one as his favorite, it must be watermelon, which is the best match for summer!

So I asked Jiang Hui to buy a big cup, because the small one would be gone after just a few sips.

But what Su Chen didn't expect was that Jiang Hui actually bought an extra-large cup, but this cup just touched Su Chen's heart.

For this, I specially praised Jiang Hui for his good vision.

……

"It's nothing big that I asked you to come here today. I just want to talk to you about two small things." After Chen Fei put the juice on the table, Su Chen took two sips before speaking.

Upon hearing this, Yu Qian quickly sat up straight. Although what Su Chen said was a small matter, if it were him, it might be a huge matter.

"The first thing is that I found a courtyard house nearby and built a private banquet venue. It will be renovated soon. I feel that it lacks cultural heritage, so I thought of looking for you to see if you can find some calligraphy and paintings to decorate it."

"Calligraphy and painting?!" Upon hearing this, Yu Qian's eyes lit up and he immediately had an idea in his mind.

After all, he is a native of the imperial capital. Many of his friends are collectors of calligraphy and paintings, and have many good things at home. He can still get things done with his connections.

The premise is that the required calligraphy and paintings cannot be too many. If Su Chen said dozens or hundreds of them, he would not be able to finish them even if he gave up his life.

"Mr. Su, there is no problem with the calligraphy and painting, but do you have any requirements on the quantity and quality?"

Su Chen tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, but he started to think in his mind. Originally, he wanted to ask Yu Qian to make a dozen paintings to decorate the entire Tianque.

Later, it was Chen Fei who reminded him that they had brought back a lot of good things from the once glorious Habsburg family in Europe, and placed them in the private museum that had just been built in Shanghai, which contained some precious calligraphy and paintings.

It's just that there are only a few of these calligraphy and paintings that can be considered treasures, but the large quantity makes Su Chen give up the idea of ​​asking Yu Qian to get a dozen or twenty paintings.

Su Chen paused and said what he was thinking, "I have quite a few paintings and calligraphy from the Ming and Qing dynasties, but I don't have any that are worthy of being presented here!"

"I just wanted you to find two or three top-quality paintings to serve as the main attraction. If you can find Zheng Banqiao's bamboo or Tang Bohu's beauty, such paintings and calligraphy would be the best!"

Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly felt that it was a little too early for him to be happy!
Zheng Banqiao's Bamboo and Tang Bohu's Beauty? Which of these paintings and calligraphy is not worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions? The collectors of these paintings are all people with status and background. With Yu Qian, even if he threw away all his face, he might not even let others take a second look.

"We can only see if Lao Ma has such a hidden treasure! Well, if there is, then I will have to let my good brother bear with it!"

Yu Qian immediately thought of his good friend Ma Weidu. He was a famous collector in the capital, and he might have the things that Su Chen mentioned.

At this time, Ma Weidu, who was in a private museum, sneezed several times for no apparent reason, and the skewers he was making in his hand almost flew out.

"Oh my god, these sneezes almost sent me away. Which good brother is thinking about me?" Ma Weidu rubbed his nose and muttered softly.

He had no idea that his good brother had hit him with the abacus beads.

"Mr. Su, I can only try my best. You know those old things in my collection are very stubborn. It may take several days to get any results!"

Yu Qian did not speak slowly, he did not know if he could handle the "small matter" that Su Chen mentioned.

Su Chen naturally saw the worry that flashed across Yu Qian's eyes, and calmly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll do my best, and it's okay if I can't find it!"

After saying that, Su Chen picked up the juice and took another sip to moisten his throat. Then he looked at Yu Qian and said, "The second thing is about you."

"About me?" Yu Qian pointed at himself, his face full of surprise.

"Yes! That's right!" Su Chen nodded seriously, "You must have seen Fat Tiger when you came in before. That guy has been in the courtyard for a while, so I wanted to move him to a new place."

"I had originally thought of arranging Fat Tiger to stay on Yuquan Mountain. Yesterday, I went up there to take a look and found that it was not very convenient. I then remembered that I had a zoo under my name, so I thought of buying it and using it to house Fat Tiger and the other little guys."

When Su Chen finished speaking, he found that Yu Qian had become stupid. No... it should be said that his eyes had become dull and his pupils had lost focus.

"Brother Qian?" Su Chen stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, but there was still no response. Finally, Su Chen gently pushed his shoulder, and his eyes gradually focused.

Yu Qian gradually came to his senses and immediately realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly stood up and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Su, just now I..."

Before he could finish his words, Su Chen raised his hand and interrupted him, "Don't be so polite, you are not a stranger, sit down!"

Yu Qian was relieved when he saw Su Chen's calm face. He was shocked when he heard that Su Chen could enter and leave Yuquan Mountain freely and even had a house there.

That place... As an old resident of the imperial capital, how could Yu Qian not know about it? It was precisely because he knew about it that he was shocked to the point of losing his composure.

"Mr. Su, you just said you wanted to buy my zoo?" Yu Qian patted his chest and said, "No problem at all. I'll take over the animals in the zoo too."

Looking at Yu Qian's heroic look, Su Chen laughed, "It's okay to keep those animals. It would be a bit monotonous if we only raise Fat Tiger's family."

"As for your zoo, I will arrange for someone to estimate it, and then I will buy it at a price 20% higher than the market price!"

Yu Qian was about to say that it wasn't necessary to be so nice, but was stopped by Su Chen!

"You know me, I don't mind this little money, so don't refuse me!"

Hearing this, Yu Qian could only nod helplessly. He knew that Su Chen always kept his word. If he kept procrastinating, he would feel like Su Chen owed him a favor.

"Please take care of these two things. If you have any questions, please contact Jiang Hui. I have to go abroad in the next two days and may not be back for a week."

Originally, Yu Qian wanted to take this opportunity to invite Su Chen to participate in Xiao Yueyue's crosstalk show, but when he heard that Su Chen was going abroad for a week, he instantly rejected this idea.

Xiao Yueyue's crosstalk performance was scheduled for August 1st, which happened to be the day Su Chen set off. It can only be said that they were unlucky.

"Okay, Mr. Su! If you have any questions, I will contact Butler Jiang. If there is nothing else, I will leave first!"

As Yu Qian finished the juice in the cup, he prepared to stand up and leave, thinking of going to Ma Weidu to get some information.

Just as he was about to take a step, Su Chen called him.

"Brother Qian, wait a moment!" Su Chen waved to Chen Fei who was standing beside him and whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing this, Fade Chen looked at Yu Qian in surprise, nodded to show that he understood, and quickly walked towards the study.

In less than a minute, Chen Fei came back, but when he came back, there was something extra in his hand, which was Tianque's gold membership card.

He walked straight to Yu Qian and handed the gold card in his hand to Yu Qian.

Yu Qian was still a little overwhelmed after receiving the gold card. At this time, Su Chen's voice rang out, "This is a membership card of Tianque. You keep it."

When Yu Qian heard this, his face immediately lit up with joy. This is not just a membership card; it is simply the key to Su Chen's circle!

He carefully examined the gold card in his hand. Apart from the word "Tianque", the number 20 was somewhat eye-catching.

But he didn't think much about it. It was good enough to have it. He had no right to be picky!

He carefully put the gold card away and exchanged a few polite words with Su Chen before leaving.

Looking at Yu Qian's departing back, Su Chen was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Xiao Fei, prepare the car, we're going out for a trip!"

Chen Fei immediately walked outside, but stopped after taking two steps. He turned around and asked, "Sir, are you going to get the Rolls-Royce Phantom or the Hongqi N701?"

Su Chen immediately rolled his eyes at Fade Chen and said, "Of course it's an illusion. If it was a red flag, I would have told you."

Fade Chen scratched his head embarrassedly and trotted out of the living room.

The reason why Su Chen wanted to go out at this time was because he remembered something... or a person! (End of this chapter)
