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

The main entrance of Lisheng Shoufu residential community!
Many residents who were heading to work early in the morning were stunned when they saw the scene at the entrance of their community.

"What's going on today? Why are there so many cars at the entrance of the community? And they're all top-of-the-line luxury cars, I even saw six or seven Rolls-Royces!"

"Who says it isn't? This is the first time I've ever seen such a scene in our county! Don't you think it's those people who came to our community before, the Lin family over in the courtyard? I remember when their son-in-law came to visit, they drove several Rolls-Royces and Land Rovers? It caused quite a stir in the community!"

Although the Lisheng Capital residential complex has about twenty buildings, there are basically no secrets. The old men and women in the complex have already spread the news about the Lin family. Even those who are at work know about it and have heard about it to some extent.

"No way? Didn't they say the Lin family's son-in-law is from the southwest? But look at this setup... If he didn't have some connections here, could he afford so many luxury cars?" A neighbor immediately retorted.

"That's not necessarily true! They might actually find a rich husband. As for these luxury cars, it's just a matter of spending more money. As long as the money is right, what can't be done!"

Just then, a sharp-eyed person spotted someone who seemed to know Lin Guoqing well walking out of the residential area and immediately called out, "Old Wang, come here right now!"

Wang Kang was thinking about the Lin family with his head down. He learned from his previous conversation with Lin Guoqing that Lin Xiaoyu's boyfriend's family was not simple, and their businesses had even spread to Northeast China.

He knew without a doubt that the Lin family would undergo a dramatic transformation in the future. Even if they didn't become incredibly wealthy, changing their social class should be no problem.

Wang Kang was secretly plotting how, based on his long-standing friendship with Lin Guoqing, he could, if not hitch a ride on the coattails of Lin's son-in-law, at least firmly bind himself to Lin Guoqing, so that he could at least have some connection with Lin Guoqing in the future…

Just as he was thinking about whether to get some "good stuff" and then find an opportunity to visit the Lin family, he heard someone calling him.

Following the sound, the first thing he saw was a variety of luxury cars parked at the entrance of the community, and then he saw his neighbor waving at him from a distance. He immediately walked over.

Before Wang Kang could speak, a neighbor who was just watching the drama immediately asked, "Brother Wang, do you know anything about the Lin family? Were these luxury cars arranged by the Lin family's son-in-law?"

The others also turned their curious gazes to his face.

"Those luxury cars you mentioned?" Wang Kang raised his eyebrows and glanced at them again. They were all kinds of Rolls-Royces, Land Rovers, Bentleys and the like. He immediately recognized the three Rolls-Royces at the front as the ones he had seen before.

The car stopped in front of them for quite a while, and he and several chess friends and neighbors examined it carefully, also noting down the license plate number.

Wang Kang paused for a moment, then didn't hide anything, since everyone would know once the Lin family arrived: "These luxury cars must be here to pick up Old Lin's relatives. Old Lin told me before that today is his daughter's engagement banquet!"

"My goodness, the ostentatious display in the South is truly impressive! I just counted, there are at least thirty cars, all luxury cars worth over a million. This spectacle... in our county, it's like a scorpion taking a dump—unique!"

"Hey, Brother Wang, you and Lin Guoqing are such good friends, didn't he invite you to his daughter's engagement?" The person speaking looked at Wang Kang with a meaningful expression.

The others present weren't fools, and they naturally understood the sarcasm in his words, all looking at Wang Kang with slight smiles.

Only the acquaintance named Wang Kang stepped forward and said, "What are you talking about? On the very day the Lin family's son-in-law came to visit, Old Lin took the initiative to invite Old Wang to his house for dinner. It's just that Old Wang felt it wasn't appropriate for him, an outsider, to go since it was the son-in-law's first visit. Given their relationship, how could they not invite Old Wang?"

"You agree, right... Old Wang!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Kang smacked his lips lightly and replied with a normal expression, "The Lin family's daughter's engagement banquet did not invite any outsiders, just a few members of the Lin family and some relatives."

"Uh..." Everyone was completely bewildered. If it were their family's engagement banquet, they would have notified their close friends. They didn't understand why Lin Guoqing only invited relatives and friends!

Seemingly noticing everyone's confusion, Wang Kang thought for a moment before saying, "I suspect the groom's side might be quite powerful, and for some reason, they don't want to hold a grand engagement banquet!"

The onlookers fell silent, wondering about the man's background. Then, a voice rang out from the crowd, "That doesn't make sense. Lin Guoqing's relatives only number forty or fifty people. Why would he need so many cars?"

As they were talking, they saw a bus slowly drive towards them and stop not far to the right of the community gate. A middle-aged man got off the bus; it was Lin Guoqing, the protagonist of their conversation.

"Old Lin, what's going on?" Upon seeing Lin Guoqing, Wang Kang immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Lin Guoqing looked at Wang Kang and the people behind him with some surprise and asked, "Hey~ Old Wang, what are you doing here? You got up so early today?"

As he spoke, he took out a box of freshly opened Liqun Fuchun Mountain Residence cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to everyone present. Although he didn't know many of them, it was his daughter's engagement banquet today, and he had to save face.

"Hehe, Lao Lin, you've spent money again!" Wang Kang chuckled as he took the cigarette, holding it carefully in his hand instead of lighting it like the others.

"Old Wang, it's just a cigarette, why are you treating it like a treasure!" Seeing Wang Kang's little actions, the person next to him couldn't help but laugh and tease him.

Wang Kang rolled his eyes at the speaker, and said with a hint of contempt, "How is it not a treasure? This is Liqun's Fuchun Mountain Residence, one of these costs a hundred yuan. You laymen are wasting it!"

Upon hearing that a single cigarette cost a hundred yuan, everyone was stunned, some even gaping in disbelief as the cigarette fell from their mouths. In their haste, they reached out and caught it, paying no heed to the lit cigarette butt.

"One hundred yuan a stick? That means this whole pack would cost two thousand yuan?" The neighbors muttered under their breath, then stared at Lin Guoqing in shock. This wasn't just finding a rich husband; it was a leap across social classes!
Suddenly, everyone became more careful when smoking, afraid of wasting the cigarette that cost a hundred yuan.

"Oh dear, they were all gifts from my son-in-law. They feel no different from the Hongtashan cigarettes I smoked before!"

Although Lin Guoqing's expression didn't change much in response to everyone's reactions, he was secretly overjoyed. He had given a good show in front of acquaintances and neighbors, and he couldn't feel more comfortable.

Hearing this, everyone felt a wave of contempt. What do you mean it's not even as good as Hongtashan cigarettes? Don't think we don't know you, Lin Guoqing, are showing off!

"He who takes a bribe is bound to be obliged; he who eats another's food is bound to be obliged." For the sake of these 100 good cigarettes, everyone pretended not to have heard what Lin Guoqing had just said.

"Oh right, Lao Lin!" After putting his cigarette back in the pack, Wang Kang remembered the dozens of luxury cars parked to the left of the gate and immediately asked, "Why did you get off the bus? Wasn't a convoy of luxury cars already arranged? Did you invite all of Lao Lin's relatives within five degrees of kinship?"

"No!" Lin Guoqing was also a little confused when he heard this. Where did he arrange any luxury car convoy? But after he finished speaking, he remembered the luxury car convoy he had seen on the bus earlier, which stretched from the intersection not far ahead all the way to the entrance of their community. He was curious about it at the time, but Wang Kang made him forget about it as soon as he got off the bus.

He immediately looked up and gazed into the distance. Before he could get a good look, Wang Kang’s voice rang out again: “Look~ there are about thirty cars parked along the roadside to the left of the gate. They’re all luxury cars worth over a million. The one leading the way is the Rolls-Royce that brought your daughter and son-in-law back before.”

Lin Guoqing took a closer look and, sure enough, it was just as Wang Kang had said. This made him even more puzzled. He knew that Su Chen had only told him about the bus yesterday. Since that was the arrangement, there was no way they would arrange so many luxury cars to pick people up!

"Well... I'm not entirely sure about my friend's situation. Maybe it was arranged by my son-in-law. I'll make a call and ask!" Lin Guoqing said, taking out his phone to call Lin Xiaoyu. As for having him call Su Chen, he thought better of it.

Although he was nominally Su Chen's elder, Lin Guoqing always felt that he had no privacy whatsoever in front of Su Chen whenever he saw Su Chen's calm and indifferent eyes and the slight smile on his lips.

The phone rang for about three or four seconds before Lin Xiaoyu's voice came through: "What's wrong, Dad? Is there some problem with the bus?"

"The bus is fine, I've arrived at the entrance of the community. It's something else..." Lin Guoqing quickly explained the situation of the dozens of luxury cars at the entrance, and cautiously inquired whether it was arranged by Su Yan's older brother.

"Probably not? If Big Brother were to make such an arrangement, he would definitely tell us!" Lin Xiaoyu's voice was full of confidence; she knew Su Chen quite well.

"How about this... I'll have Brother Stone call Big Brother and ask what's going on!"

Before Lin Guoqing could even reply, the call was abruptly ended.

At this moment, Su Chen, who was having breakfast in the restaurant of his hotel, also received a call from Su Yan. After listening to Su Yan's story, Su Chen had a vague idea in his mind.

"It's okay, don't worry about it for now, we'll talk when I get there!" Su Chen said and hung up the phone.

His second uncle, Su Zhiqi, who was sitting opposite him, asked curiously if something had happened to Xiaoyu.

"It's nothing..." Su Chen took a tissue to wipe his mouth and explained with a smile, "Uncle Lin noticed a lot of luxury cars coming to the entrance of the community, so he asked Su Yan to call and ask if I arranged it!"

Su Zhiqi nodded upon hearing this, but didn't say anything more. He lowered his head and continued eating his breakfast, though he did so much faster than before.

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei's eyes flickered slightly, and he leaned closer to Su Chen to ask, "Sir, should I call President Bai and ask what's going on?"

"No need!" Su Chen waved his hand lightly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. "I roughly guess what's going on. It's harmless, and it's also paving the way for Su Yan and Xiao Yu. Besides..."

After a pause, Su Chen continued, "Notify the guard team to go together later!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei immediately understood the situation with those luxury cars, nodded, and sat back down in his seat.

Su Zhiqi wasn't naive, and he naturally understood Su Chen's implied meaning. He immediately put down his chopsticks and asked seriously, "Xiao Chen, are you really letting my brat develop the Northeast market? I'm afraid with his half-baked management skills, the store won't even open, and we'll end up losing a fortune!"

"Second Uncle, you look down on Su Yan like that?" A smile involuntarily appeared on Su Chen's face.

"Sigh~" Su Zhiqi sighed softly, and was about to take out a cigarette from his pocket, but then he remembered that he was in a restaurant, so he stopped himself from taking out the cigarette and said with a wry smile, "They say no one knows a son better than his father, and I know Su Yan's capabilities very well!"

"Second Uncle!" Su Chen's expression became much more serious, and even the tone of his voice became more forceful. "If you don't give it your all, how will you know how much potential you have?"

"Take the beginning, for example. When you and my dad first started Shufen Hot Pot, did you ever imagine that one day Shufen Hot Pot would grow to have more than 100 branches and annual revenue of over nine figures?"

"So... some things, you'll never know the answer if you don't try! Besides, Su Yan isn't alone, he has Xiao Yu, one is hardworking and the other is smart, the two of them working together, who knows, they might really be able to make a name for themselves!"

"Besides... we're not without the cost of trial and error. If Su Yan fails to develop the market in Northeast China, he can simply go back to Wudu and manage those hot pot restaurants properly!"

Upon hearing this, Su Zhiqi fell silent. He suddenly realized that he had gotten himself into a rut!

Just as Su Chen said, they now have the capital to try and fail. Even if they fail, they can still learn from their mistakes!
"Okay, we'll do it your way. After I get back to Wudu, I'll try to send a few people over to help him set up the initial framework!"

Su Chen nodded, not continuing the conversation on the topic. He glanced at his second uncle and aunt, who had already finished breakfast, and then checked the time before saying, "Second Uncle, it's about time. We should head over!"

The group then got up and walked out of the hotel, where guards were already waiting in a car.

……

When Su Chen and his group arrived at the entrance of Lisheng Capital residential area, they found that a lot of people were already standing there, chatting in small groups. They seemed to be relatives of the Lin family, because Su Chen saw Su Yan, Lin Xiaoyu and others among them.

As soon as the vehicle stopped, it immediately attracted the attention of many people. Several guards in white shirts got out of the car and respectfully opened the back door.

Upon seeing that it was Su Chen and Su Zhiqi, Su Yan led Lin Xiaoyu and the others to quickly come over to greet them.

"Dad (Uncle), Mom (Aunt), Big Brother!" Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyu greeted them with smiles as they approached.

Su Chen nodded and looked at the long line of luxury cars. Before he could walk over, a person got out of the lead Rolls-Royce.

The person who arrived was none other than Bai Xiangwen, the person in charge of Jiuyuan Animal Husbandry. He jogged over to Su Chen's side, bowed respectfully, and said, "Good morning, boss!"

Su Chen nodded slightly and responded with a soft "hmm".

Bai Xiangwen's appearance attracted the attention of those around him, and many people gasped in surprise upon recognizing his face! (End of Chapter)
