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

Jinsha Bay and Beach at Zhengdao Island!
Su Chen was leisurely lying on a deck chair on the yacht, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the caress of the sea breeze.

"Enjoying life is still the most comfortable thing!" Su Chen murmured softly. He had spent the whole day yesterday inspecting the entire park, which had exhausted him.

This morning, I brought Chen Fei to the city center early, rented a small yacht, and went out to sea. Of course, we didn't go too far; we were only about 300 to 500 meters from the shore.

I've been running around a lot lately, so today is a rare free day. I was thinking of relaxing a bit and maybe going fishing.

Unfortunately... imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Just as he finished his remark, Chen Fei strode out of the cabin, holding a cell phone that was showing that he was on a call.

Chen Fei walked to Su Chen's side and said softly, "Sir, Xiao Peng called and said he has something important to report to you!"

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Su Chen frowned slightly. He had only left the park for three or four hours, so how could something have happened, and such an important one at that?

He pushed his sunglasses up over his head before taking the phone from Chen Fei's hand and asking, "Hello~ Xiao Peng, what's up?"

"Boss, Professor Chen is back!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen immediately sat up from the recliner, wondering if he had misheard, and repeated, "What did you just say? Professor Chen is back? He's already in the park?"

Su Chen wasn't making a fuss over nothing. Old Man Chen had just gone to Shenyang yesterday. Although it wasn't very far, he wouldn't be back so soon.

This time, he went to poach talent, specifically aircraft experts and technicians, so you can imagine how difficult that was.

He came back in just one day. Could it be that he was rejected by his old buddies?
Just as Su Chen was pondering, Xiao Peng's voice came over, "Professor Chen is currently on his way back. I have arranged for three cars to pick him up from the airport."

"From what Professor Chen said, it seems that he poached an entire research team from Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, but he didn't go into details."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen thought to himself, "Wow, is this the kind of connections top scientific researchers have? They only used one day... no, if we exclude travel time, it might not even have taken half a day, to recruit an entire research team. They are truly amazing."

"Okay~ I understand! I'll return to the park right away!" Su Chen hung up the phone immediately after saying that, and also told Captain Chen Fei to return to port.

Meanwhile, looking at the phone that had been hung up, a troubled expression appeared on his face. He muttered to himself, "Professor Chen mentioned on the phone that he wanted the boss to prepare a reward for him, but the boss hung up before I could even say anything. This shouldn't be my fault, right?"

After thinking for a moment with a serious expression, he said, "Hmm, this is definitely not my fault. Who told the boss to hang up so quickly? I can just tell him again when he gets back to the park."

After saying that, Xiao Peng didn't think about it anymore. He immediately arranged for someone to tidy up the reception room, because the boss would definitely meet with the people that Old Chen had dug up later.

……

After Su Chen got off the yacht, he went straight back to the park by car. Coincidentally, he ran into Professor Chen and his group, who had just been picked up from the airport, in the parking lot in front of the office building.

Seeing Su Chen get out of the car, Old Man Chen's eyes lit up immediately. With a smug look on his face, he quickly walked over, nodded to the technicians who were getting out of the car behind him, and said, "President Su, how was it? Did I successfully complete the mission?"

Su Chen glanced at the people getting off the car. They all looked spirited and were carrying large suitcases. They were all curiously looking around at the situation and... him!

"Anyone who can catch your eye, Professor Chen, must be incredibly capable!" Su Chen nodded with a slight smile, a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth.

"Hehe~" Old Chen rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Xiao Peng must have told you, right? Look how well I completed the task. Shouldn't I be rewarded? I don't need anything else, just give me a few cans of tea, the same quality as the previous Longjing Eighteen Trees."

Su Chen was stunned. What did Xiao Peng say to him? "It's fine if you want a reward, but don't ask for too much."

"No... Professor Chen, wait a minute, let me sort this out. I don't remember giving you eighteen Longjing tea leaves." After saying that, Su Chen looked at Chen Fei, who was standing to the side. After all, the tea he had prepared for his trip was still with Chen Fei.

Chen Fei was also bewildered and immediately explained, "Sir, I don't know either. The tea I brought this time was placed on the tea table in your office."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen and Chen Fei immediately realized what was going on and turned their gazes to Old Man Chen beside them.

"Ahem~" Old Chen coughed awkwardly twice, glancing guiltily to the side, and said, "I just thought it would be a waste to leave those tea leaves lying around, so I thought I'd help you get rid of them!"

"But then again, I only drank one brew of this tea; the rest were all snatched away by Old Man Wang." Old Man Chen's tone hardened towards the end, as if he were doing it all for Su Chen's own good.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen looked at Old Man Chen with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. He didn't delve into the matter of the tea leaves, since they were meant to be drunk anyway. Besides, judging from Old Man Chen's words, the tea leaves had been quite helpful in the recruitment effort.

"Professor Chen, who is this old man Wang you just mentioned? He actually managed to get you to take an entire research team from Shenyang Aircraft Corporation."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Chen replied without hesitation, "Who else could it be? Your good brother Chen Yao's teacher, the chief engineer of Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, and also my old buddy of many years!"

"Hmm?" Su Chen's eyes widened slightly. He never expected that Old Man Chen had this connection. No wonder he was so confident when he accepted the mission.

But Su Chen quickly discovered the trickery involved. Old Chen knew about his relationship with Chen Yao, and Chen Yao's relationship with Old Wang. In addition, with the mission of the detonation engine, Old Wang must know something about him.

Connecting all this information, Su Chen immediately understood why Old Man Chen had managed to uncover an entire elite research team in the field of aircraft in just one day.

"Professor Chen, did you just use someone else's credentials to poach people this time?" Su Chen asked the old man with a half-smile.

Upon hearing this, Old Man Chen immediately became anxious. Although he had indeed done so, if he admitted it, wouldn't his reward be out of reach, and wouldn't the eighteen Longjing tea plants he had lost be wasted?
He immediately glared at Su Chen and said, "Su Chen, that's not fair of you! I, an old man, went to Shenyang before dawn and managed to bring back an entire elite research team from Shenyang Aircraft Corporation in just one day. No matter what methods I used, just tell me if this efficiency is good enough!"

Seeing the somewhat anxious old man Chen, Su Chen laughed heartily: "Enough, enough, enough! Professor Chen, your efficiency alone is worth two cans of tea!"

"Two cans!" Old Chen's eyes lit up, and he said with a hint of excitement, "President Su, you said it yourself, two cans. I didn't force you, so you can't go back on your word!"

"Haha~ I won't go back on my word. Just ask Chen Fei for it when the time comes!"

At this moment, Su Chen noticed out of the corner of his eye that everyone in the car had gotten off and were standing in an orderly line. A bespectacled man in his thirties, who seemed to be in charge, took two steps forward and then stopped. Old Man Chen naturally saw this scene as well. He was so focused on getting "benefits" from Su Chen that he almost forgot about his business. He quickly pulled the bespectacled man over and introduced him, "Mr. Su, this is Yang Ming, one of Old Man Wang's most prized disciples!"

"This team is no ordinary team; they're experts in aerodynamic design. If Old Wang hadn't personally given the order, they would never have come with me!"

Su Chen raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that Elder Wang would have such great courage, even sending his own disciple over. It seemed that Elder Wang really cared about their Zhengdao Park!

"Hello, President Su!" Yang Ming greeted respectfully with a hand gesture. Before coming here, his teacher, Old Wang, had repeatedly told him not to think about Shen Fei, but to work hard and have a bright future.

Su Chen warmly shook Yang Ming's hand and said, "Welcome everyone! You must all be tired from your journey. I'll have Xiao Peng take you downstairs to settle in first, and I'll host a welcome banquet for you all tonight!"

As soon as Su Chen and his group returned to the park, Xiao Peng received a report from his subordinates and had already rushed down from his office. Upon hearing his boss's instructions, he immediately told Yang Ming and his group to take the electric shuttle bus to the dormitory area behind.

Watching the figures gradually disappear from sight, Su Chen withdrew his gaze and asked, "Professor Chen, are these people reliable? You know that our park already has many classified projects. If the military enterprises are built, there will only be more classified information involved in the future. I don't want to see people eating what they have and eyeing what they don't."

The meaning is very straightforward: they are worried that these people will leak the technology from the Zhengdao Industrial Park to Shenfei.

"Don't worry about that!" Old Chen said with a relaxed expression. "Before I came back, Old Wang had already told me that he had told these people that they would have nothing to do with Shen Fei anymore."

"Besides, this is just to let them get used to the environment. Once you officially launch the White Emperor Project, I will have them sign the highest level of confidentiality agreement, and they will naturally understand how to adopt the right attitude!"

Su Chen nodded thoughtfully. Whether it was Old Man Chen or Old Man Wang, they were both experienced people. The problems he could think of, Old Man Chen and the others could definitely think of as well, and they would know how to solve these problems.

"They say having an elder in the family is like having a treasure! Professor Chen, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with this matter!"

"Also... see if you can find someone like you, a leading expert in the field, to lead the Baidi project. If it's handed over to Yang Ming, who knows how long it will take to see results."

It's not that Su Chen looks down on Yang Ming. Being able to become Wang Lao's student is enough to show how capable he is. But compared to those older generation industry leaders, what he lacks is decades of experience.

Old Chen chuckled and stroked his beard, saying, "Of course! Now that I've brought him back, I'll definitely take full responsibility. As for the industry expert you mentioned, if nothing unexpected happens, Old Wu should be able to handle him!"

Su Chen gave Old Man Chen a meaningful look. It seemed that his division of labor with Professor Wu had been clear from the very beginning.

"Don't look at me like that, kid. This is just a tacit understanding between Old Wu and me over the years." Old Chen said, then changed the subject. Seeing that there were no outsiders present, he became more casual in his speech. "Hey Su, shouldn't we go to your office for a visit?"

"Pfft!" Chen Fei couldn't help but laugh out loud. As expected of a cultured person, he made asking for tea sound so refined and elegant.

Old Chen immediately glared at Chen Fei, his smile instantly freezing on his face. He awkwardly turned his head away, pretending to look at the scenery beside him.

Su Chen couldn't help but smile faintly. Old Chen was truly a man of character. "Let's go, let's go pick out some tea for Professor Chen."

Su Chen specially selected several kinds of tea for this trip to Hawaii, thinking that he might stay on the island for several days. However, he returned to China after only two days, and the tea naturally came to Zheng Island with him.

Just as Su Chen reached the entrance of the office building, his phone rang. Upon seeing that it was his cousin Su Yan calling, he immediately told Old Man Chen to go with Chen Fei to the office to select tea.

He walked to the sofa in the lobby and sat down before answering the phone. He then heard a lot of noise coming from the other end, as if it were a crowded place.

"Hey, second brother! Where are you? Why are you making so much noise?"

Su Yan's voice immediately came from the other end of the phone, "Big brother, wait for me a moment!"

The noise on the phone gradually subsided, and Su Chen knew that Su Yan was looking for a quiet place.

After waiting for about half a minute, Su Yan's voice rang out again, "Big brother, we've arrived in the capital!"

"You've arrived in the capital?" Su Chen was taken aback when he heard this, but he quickly realized that he had told Su Yan when they parted ways earlier that they should come to the capital to find him after their trip so that they could go to the Northeast together to propose marriage.

"Yes, I just got off the plane and I'm still at the airport. Brother, are you in Beijing right now?" I had originally thought of calling Su Chen before I came to ask if he was in Beijing, but then I thought there was no need for that.

If they're there, then there's no need to say more. If they're not, we can just find a hotel to stay in, since they're planning to spend a few days in Beijing anyway.

"I'm not in the capital right now. I'm here on Zheng Island taking care of some things. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be back tomorrow!" After saying that, Su Chen paused before continuing, "You know where the courtyard is. You and Xiaoyu can just take a taxi from the airport and go there directly. I'll call Jiang Hui later to let him know."

As for why Jiang wasn't arranged to go back to the airport to pick up Su Yan and his wife, Su Chen felt it wasn't necessary to go through all that trouble. After all, Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyu were young people, and it would be convenient for him to take a taxi there himself.

Moreover, the courtyard house is at least an hour's drive from the airport, and that's without traffic jams. If you had that time to wait at the airport, you would have already taken a taxi to the courtyard house.

“Okay, big brother!” Su Yan naturally had no objections.

After giving a few more instructions, Su Chen hung up the phone and immediately sent a message to the housekeeper, Jiang Hui, instructing him to take good care of Su Yan and his wife.

After receiving Jiang Hui's reply, Su Chen got up and walked towards the elevator.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the Beijing airport, Lin Xiaoyu saw Su Yan put his phone away and asked curiously, "Is Big Brother in Beijing?"

Su Yan shook his head slightly. "My older brother won't be back until tomorrow, but he told us to go to his house first. Let's go!"

As he spoke, Su Yan pushed a suitcase that was as tall as his thigh and walked out of the airport.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyu quickly followed, grabbed Su Yan's arm, and said with anticipation where they wanted to go and try the famous douzhi (fermented mung bean juice).

This was Lin Xiaoyu's first time in the capital, and everything was new and exciting. (End of Chapter)
