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

"boss!"

Upon seeing Su Chen and the others arrive, Bai Xiangwen quickly opened the RV door and stepped down.

Su Chen nodded slightly in response and then turned his gaze to the big guy next to him. The vehicle was quite tall, at least four meters high, and its rear cargo box was also very square. If you didn't know better, you would think it was a high-tech heavy truck.

Seeing this, Bai Xiangwen quickly walked to Su Chen's side and introduced, "Boss, this is a Volvo Conqueror V 6x6 duo..."

Unfortunately… before he could finish speaking, Su Chen interrupted him by raising his hand, “No need for introductions, let’s go up and take a look!” With that, Su Chen stepped onto the suspended ladder and went up.

Su Chen used to be very interested in RVs, thinking he could drive them wherever he wanted to travel. But after learning more about them, his enthusiasm was quickly dampened by reality.

Given the road conditions, campsite facilities, and other inconveniences in China, RVs seem more like an expensive toy, only suitable for a family's short weekend trip. If you want to go on a long trip, the convenience is greatly reduced. You need to do a lot of research in advance to find a convenient RV campsite. This kind of troublesome thing is not suitable for someone like Su Chen who goes here today and there tomorrow.

The moment Su Chen stepped into the RV, the expected feeling of oppression did not materialize; instead, he felt a sense of spaciousness and brightness.

The extremely high ceilings and large windows create an excellent sense of space and openness, while the soft ambient lighting on the roof illuminates the entire living room area.

The interior decoration completely subverts the traditional RV's slightly cramped and home-like style, adopting the style of a large airline first-class cabin. The original place for seats and tea tables has been replaced with four first-class seats, with a small tea table placed between each pair.

After looking around the living room area, we came to the kitchen area. There were no eye-catching changes here, since no one would actually build a kitchen in a motorhome.

However, Su Chen glanced at the kitchen area and found that the appliances were quite complete. The refrigerator was also filled with cold drinks and fruits, which, judging from how frozen they were, were probably bought by Bai Xiangwen and placed in the refrigerator temporarily.

As for the rear of the RV, there wasn't much of a surprise. A double bed was fixed inside, and the mattress looked quite comfortable. Su Chen even went up and sat for a while before discovering that there was a huge panoramic skylight overhead. He could lie down at night and look up at the starry sky, which made him quite satisfied.

He even checked out the toilet. Everyone knows that RV toilets are usually small, but this RV's toilet was unusually large, even featuring a wet and dry separation design. In addition to a standard toilet, it also had a full-size shower room. This is definitely a sign of someone who knows how to enjoy life.

After observing the vehicle, Su Chen was generally satisfied with it. It was more than enough for traveling in Northeast China, especially since there were many RV campsites in each region of the Northeast, making parking very convenient.

"What do you guys think of this RV?" Su Chen turned around and looked at Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyu behind him.

Even though they hadn't asked, the young couple nodded their heads like they were pounding garlic. Su Yan replied with a hint of excitement, "Very good, much better than I expected!"

Seeing their excited expressions, Su Chen shook his head with a helpless smile. They really have no composure whatsoever. It's just a campervan, why are they so excited?

However, Su Chen could understand Su Yan. After all, it was the first time taking both sets of parents on a trip, and the higher the class of the RV, the more face he, as the son-in-law, would have in front of those outsiders.

Who wouldn't want to be praised by outsiders in front of their parents or father-in-law?

Su Chen smiled and nodded, then looked at Bai Xiangwen beside him and asked, "Is the other RV also equipped with this configuration?"

"Yes, boss! The interior decorations of the two RVs are almost the same!" Bai Xiangwen replied with a smile. Being able to gain his boss's approval meant that his efforts had not been in vain.

"Hmm~" Su Chen nodded, glanced at the time and it was getting late, so he instructed, "Su Yan, you and Xiao Yu go back to the neighborhood. If Second Uncle and Uncle Lin are ready, we'll set off right away!"

Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyu nodded and got out of the RV. They quickly ran into the community. Just as they reached the entrance, they ran into Wang Kang, the good friend of their neighbor, Lao Wang.

"Little Fish, why are you running so fast? Where's your dad? I haven't seen him today."

"Uncle Wang, my dad is packing his bags at home. We're getting ready for a road trip!" Lin Xiaoyu said as she dashed past Wang Kang.

By the time Wang Kang realized what was happening, Lin Xiaoyu and Su Yan had already slipped into the building entrance. "This girl, she's engaged and still acting so loud and boisterous..."

"No, wait a minute!" But the next second Wang Kang realized something was wrong, and his brows immediately furrowed. "What did that girl Xiaoyu say just now? Old Lin is packing his bags at home, getting ready for a road trip?"

Wang Kang's expression instantly soured. He was already quite old, and the farthest place he had ever been was Harbin for tourism. Of course, he had been to other places as well, but most of them were business trips or short stays, and he had never really explored them properly.

Lin Guoqing is the same as him in this respect. After all, they both have to support their families. In addition, they are getting old and can't just leave like young people. They definitely have many more things to consider, so naturally, they have fewer and fewer opportunities to travel.

But now, when he heard that his buddies and best friends were going on a road trip, and judging from the trend, it wasn't going to be just a matter of a day or two, and they were definitely going to visit several popular tourist cities, while he still had to suffer to clock in at work, Wang Kang felt terrible at the thought of it.

Just then, a few more people came in through the gate of the community. They were the ones who had been watching the RVs from the gate earlier. When they saw Wang Kang standing at the gate, they greeted him with smiles and said, "Old Wang, you've come to see Old Lin's RVs too!"

"RV...what RV?" Wang Kang was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard someone call him, and subconsciously replied.

"Um... I heard that the Lin family is going on a road trip, and his son-in-law arranged for two really cool-looking RVs, which I heard are worth several million. I thought you were here for those too." The neighbor didn't think much of it and explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wang Kang immediately took two steps and looked outside the community. Sure enough, he saw two very conspicuous RVs parked on the side of the road. In terms of size alone, the Land Rover next to them looked like a little brother.

That angular, wild-looking RV, how impressive it would be to drive it around like that!
Suppressing his astonishment, Wang Kang casually replied, "I already knew that Lao Lin and the others were going on a road trip. I'm just going to the supermarket near the entrance to buy some things."

"Okay, Lao Wang, you're busy, then we'll head back first!" The neighbor naturally noticed the change in Wang Kang's expression. As an old neighbor in the same community, he didn't want to see Wang Kang make a fool of himself and didn't expose his lie.

After everyone had left, Wang Kang shook his head in frustration and sighed, "It really is true that one wrong step leads to another. If only I had been shameless enough to go to Lao Lin's house when he invited me, I might have been invited to the engagement banquet later. If I had gotten closer to Lao Lin's son-in-law, who knows... we might have been able to go on this road trip together!"

"Unfortunately... it's too late to say anything now! Oh well, let's just take it as a lesson learned."

Putting aside his emotions, Wang Kang strolled slowly toward the supermarket outside the residential area, completely unaware that Lin Guoqing and his family were carrying their luggage and walking toward the gate not far behind him.

"Hey~ isn't that Uncle Wang? Why did it take him so long to walk out of the gate?" Lin Xiaoyu murmured softly as she saw the familiar figure.

"What are you muttering about?" Lin Guoqing asked, looking at Lin Xiaoyu who seemed a little dazed.

"It's nothing!" Lin Xiaoyu shook her head, not taking Wang Kang's matter to heart. Perhaps she had just run into an acquaintance and chatted for a while. Lin Guoqing and Su Zhiqi's group dragged the pedestrian out of the residential area, naturally attracting the attention of many people at the gate. Those who knew Lin Guoqing greeted him with smiles, "Old Lin, I really envy you~ You've even started going on road trips!"

"Haha, this was all arranged by my son-in-law. I told him there was no need for such a grand display, but he insisted that it would make the journey more comfortable!"

Although Lin Guoqing said this, he couldn't hide the smile on his face, and his voice was loud and clear, with a hint of obvious pride.

He patted Su Yan on the shoulder and smiled at the neighbors, saying, "It's just a kind gesture from the children; we, as elders, should simply enjoy it!"

The neighbors all cast envious glances his way, and one joked, "Old Lin, you'd better have a great time on this trip. Take lots of pictures so we can all be envious, and tell us about the beautiful scenery in those places!"

"That's a must!" Lin Guoqing grinned from ear to ear.

He had planned this for a long time, and even dug out all the cameras he had bought before but hadn't used much, just to take some amazing photos and show them off to his friends in the neighborhood.

"Dad, let's go, don't keep Big Brother waiting!" Lin Xiaoyu couldn't help but whisper to her father as he chatted more and more happily.

Upon hearing this, Lin Guoqing instantly realized that he had been a bit too cocky and had forgotten that there was a big shot waiting for them.

If we keep them waiting too long... After realizing this, Lin Guoqing immediately laughed it off to everyone, grabbed his in-law Su Zhiqi's luggage, and quickly walked towards the RV by the roadside.

When Su Chen saw his second uncle and the others arrive, he naturally got out of the car to greet them. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the group split into two groups—the elderly group and the young group.

The older couple naturally consisted of Lin Guoqing and his wife, and Su Zhiqi and his wife. After all, as in-laws, they had to have a good chat. No one knew when they would meet again, and since they were all around the same age, they could find common ground to talk about.

As for the younger group, it naturally includes Su Chen, Su Yan, and others. It's more relaxed when a few young people are together, at least without the influence of elders, and everyone can be more at ease.

After the RVs were distributed, Bai Xiangwen thoughtfully arranged for people to move their luggage to their respective RVs. Once everything was done, Su Chen and the others didn't linger and immediately called everyone to get into their respective vehicles.

As for the drivers of the two RVs, they were both experienced drivers specially arranged by Bai Xiangwen. This was to prevent Su Chen and his companions from being unfamiliar with RVs and to avoid any accidents on the way.

Su Chen did not object to this. After all, professional matters should be left to professionals. Besides, having someone drive means there's no need to worry about getting lost, which is incredibly convenient.

"GO! GO! GO! Let's go! First stop - Ice City!" Su Yan, the deputy tour guide for this trip, got hold of a tour guide flag from somewhere and waved it happily.

As for the tour guide, it would definitely be Lin Xiaoyu, since the two of them planned the tour itinerary.

"Boom~boom~boom~"

The engines of the two steel behemoths roared in a deep rumble, drawing the attention of passersby on the roadside.

Three Land Rovers led the way, clearing a dedicated lane, followed closely by the RV, its massive body smoothly entering the lane like a mobile fortress.

Wang Kang came out of the supermarket carrying shopping bags and witnessed this shocking scene: the two massive, high-quality vehicles slowly accelerated, gleaming with metallic luster under the sunlight.

He glanced down at the brand-new cigarettes in his shirt pocket. He had originally planned to give Lin Guoqing and his son-in-law a free pack when Lin came out of the neighborhood, to make his presence known to his son-in-law. But when he came out of the supermarket, Lin was already gone.

He opened his mouth, but in the end, it only turned into a complicated sigh as he watched his old friend's car disappear at the end of the street, his heart filled with mixed feelings!
……

The capital city, a traditional courtyard house!

Just as Jiang Hui arrived at "Tianque" and arranged for the chef to prepare several authentic Huaiyang dishes, which were then delivered to the Xiao family's courtyard house, his phone rang as he entered the Shichahai courtyard house.

Jiang Hui saw the caller ID and immediately answered the phone.

"Mr. Jiang, is the boss available now?" Pei Rang asked as soon as the call connected.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hui raised an eyebrow slightly, pondering the purpose of Pei Rang's call. If it were an emergency, he would have called Chen Fei or Mr. Su directly, but Pei Rang chose to call him, which was quite intriguing.

"The boss isn't home, he went to the Northeast. If you have anything important to do, you can call Afei!" Jiang Hui thought to himself, but didn't stop talking.

"I see..." Pei Rang's tone clearly carried a hint of helplessness.

This made Jiang Hui even more curious. What exactly was Pei Rang up to? He feigned confusion and asked, "Is something wrong?"

After a few seconds of silence, Pei Rang on the other end of the phone laughed awkwardly and said, "The World Semiconductor Expo is about to be held. Many semiconductor manufacturers from Europe and the United States have already come to China. Among them, several well-informed large companies have sent people to talk to us about cooperation on 10nm chips, wanting to see if mass production has been achieved."

"But Xiaxin has only just begun relocating from its headquarters in Pengcheng. It will take some time before it can officially start production, so there hasn't been an opportunity for those people to visit. As for the situation at the Zhengdao Industrial Park... you know..."

Upon hearing Pei Rang's words, Jiang Hui finally understood what this guy was planning. He was worried that Pei Rang's actions would cause some negative consequences, and might even affect Mr. Su's later plans.

Pei Rang was too embarrassed to step forward himself, so he was made to act as a pawn. Unfortunately... things didn't go as planned, and Mr. Su wasn't at the courtyard.

"What's the rush? Haste makes waste. Let them wait and see, and they'll come begging to us in due time!" Although Jiang Hui wasn't involved in business management, he knew a thing or two about Su Chen's businesses. While he didn't know the full picture, he still had some understanding of them.
Of course... the most important thing is that Su Chen never avoided talking about these things with him.

"Alright! Sorry to bother you, Elder Jiang!" Pei Rang said and hung up the phone.

This left Jiang Hui completely bewildered. She felt that things weren't as simple as she had thought. After some thought, she decided to call Mr. Su and tell him about it.

He then found the number saved as "Mr." and dialed it directly. (End of Chapter)
