Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?
Chapter 525 You're setting a trap for me, aren't you!
"Butler Jiang, the master is looking for you!"
Jiang Hui, who was arranging breakfast in the front kitchen, didn't dare to delay when she heard Chen Fei's words. She gave the chef a few instructions and then followed Chen Fei quickly into the courtyard.
At first, Jiang Hui thought that Mr. Su Chen was in the backyard, but unexpectedly Chen Fei took him directly to the basement level by elevator.
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Su Chen standing in front of the pile of priceless jadeite rough stones, his arms crossed over his chest, his left hand gently stroking his chin, as if he was thinking about something.
"Sir, you wanted to see me?" Upon seeing this, Jiang Hui immediately took a few steps to Su Chen's side and respectfully bowed to ask.
Jiang Hui's voice brought Su Chen back to his senses. He nodded slightly in response to Jiang Hui's question, "Old Jiang, does Yun Mengze have any channels for jade and jewelry in the capital?"
When Su Chen came to the basement to get something in the morning, he remembered that there was a pile of jadeite rough stones sitting there collecting dust. It was a waste to leave them there like that.
In addition, I had planned to make some jewelry for my parents and aunts, and I was thinking of finding some professional craftsmen to process these jadeite rough stones.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hui pondered for a moment before cautiously inquiring, "Sir, do you intend to make these top-quality jadeite rough stones into jewelry or carve them into exquisite jadeite ornaments?"
Su Chen glanced at the dozen or so jadeite rough stones in front of him. Each stone weighed at least several hundred kilograms or even tons, and they had all been cut open, so the material content inside was very high. He could just take out one stone and make a complete set of jadeite jewelry for his parents, uncles and aunts.
As for the remaining jadeite rough stones... it would be a bit of a waste to carve them all into various ornaments. After all, Su doesn't consider himself a refined person; he can look at them, but he can't appreciate them.
At most, you should only make one ornament from each color of jadeite rough; making more than that would be a waste.
Looking at the various green, red, purple and other jadeite rough stones laid out on the ground, an idea instantly popped into Su Chen's mind.
It seems that these jadeite rough stones of different colors could be used to make some special jewelry similar to identity identification, which could be used as a symbol of identity for the Yunmengze Group.
This will not only motivate the group's senior executives and outstanding employees at the middle and lower levels to strive for advancement, but also encourage them to put in more effort in order to earn this symbol of honor.
This can also be seen as a reward from him, the behind-the-scenes boss, to the management and outstanding employees. The jade ornaments made from these top-grade jadeite rough stones are naturally very expensive, worth at least hundreds of thousands or even millions.
Of course... Su Chen didn't forget his own little circle either. He would also make a small hand-held item or a bracelet for Xiao Chen, Chen Yao, and others as a token of their circle.
“These jadeite rough stones…” After thinking it through, Su Chen immediately explained his thoughts to Jiang Hui in detail.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hui quickly took out her notebook and wrote down the key points Su Chen had mentioned, especially the part about the token, which she circled in emphasis.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Hui replied, "Sir, the Luwei Group has a jewelry branch in the capital. We can entrust the design of the jewelry entirely to them, and the style can be designed according to our domestic standards."
"As for the other decorative items or the special jewelry you specifically requested, sir..."
After a pause, Jiang Hui continued, "I suggest finding the top carving experts in the country, such as Yang Genlian, the most famous jade carving master in China. He can be said to be a leading figure in jade carving. Coincidentally, Master Yang is a friend of Mr. Yu Qian."
"Hmm?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, glancing at Jiang Hui, whose brows were lowered. He hadn't expected Jiang Hui to know so much; it seemed she had done a lot of work beforehand.
Turning his gaze away, Su Chen said softly, "You handle this matter. Contact Lu Wei and Yu Qian. I only have one request... be diligent!"
"Understood, sir!" Jiang Hui naturally understood the meaning behind Su Chen's words and immediately nodded in response.
……
"Su Chen, you've given me quite a search! I've practically looked the entire courtyard before I figured you might be on the basement level!"
Just as Su Chen finished explaining the jadeite rough and was about to send Jiang back to carry out the tasks he had arranged, a voice came from not far behind him.
Su Chen looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xiao Chen walking quickly toward them from the elevator.
Seeing this, Su Chen immediately gave Jiang Hui and Chen Fei a look, signaling them to go about their business and prepare tea and water.
He then smiled and took a step or two forward, saying, "Brother Chen, why did you come so early? I was thinking of going over to find you after breakfast."
As he spoke, Su Chen gestured for Xiao Chen to sit on the sofa next to him, while Chen Fei had already poured two glasses of water and placed them on the table in front of them.
Xiao Chen did not respond immediately. Instead, he picked up the cup on the table and took two sips to moisten his throat before replying, "I was just thinking of coming over early to freeload and try the chefs' cooking. I've been looking forward to it."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen's smile widened even more. "Brother Chen, what are you saying? If you want something better in the morning, just give me a call and someone will deliver it to you."
"Don't mess with me!" Xiao Chen clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes at Su Chen, speechless. "You're afraid the old man won't scold me, aren't you!"
"Hahahaha!" Su Chen burst into laughter. Just as Xiao Chen said, if someone delivered breakfast at the level of a state banquet chef to him every morning, Xiao Chen might actually get a good lecture from Old Master Xiao.
Who can blame him when Old Master Xiao is so intolerant of even the slightest imperfection?
Uh…except for Su Chen!
After chuckling a few times, Su Chen understood Xiao Chen's meaning and immediately looked at Chen Fei, who was standing to the side, and instructed him, "Fei, have the kitchen send breakfast here, and remember to make sure the portions are generous."
Chen Fei nodded upon hearing this and quickly walked towards the elevator, while Xiao Chen's gaze fell on the pile of jadeite rough stones not far away.
After taking a quick look, Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Are these all the spoils that Ye Feng brought back for you from Mian Dian?"
Su Chen took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out for himself, and then threw the pack in front of Xiao Chen. After lighting it himself, he nodded and replied, "Hmm~ The birthday gift I gave to the old man before was also shipped back from the same batch."
Xiao Chen immediately stood up and walked to the pile of jadeite rough stones. Of course, he didn't forget to light a cigarette for himself.
After examining the stones for a while, and even touching the window opening, he turned to Su Chen and asked, "When I came here earlier, you were standing here discussing whether you were planning to cut all these raw stones out?" Su Chen shook the banquet in his hand and, without any concealment, explained his thoughts in detail!
Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes, not for any other reason than a slight surprise at Su Chen's idea.
Whether it's a special accessory created to represent the identity of the Yunmengze Group, or a personal token or keepsake for their circle, these are all good ways to unite people.
Although he was the leader of their circle, there was no hierarchy within the circle. Everyone got along well with each other, and there was no specific distinction between the top and the bottom. Naturally, there wasn't much infighting among them.
He naturally understood Su Chen as well, knowing that Su Chen's design of hand-held items resembling keepsakes wasn't intended to make him stand out in their circle, but simply to use those jadeite rough stones to make hand-held items that would help their circle integrate more closely.
To put it simply, it's about giving them a sense of teamwork and making their relationships closer.
"Have you thought about what to make for the hand-held parts?" Xiao Chen walked back and plopped down back on the sofa.
Su Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Xiao Chen with a hint of curiosity, and asked, "Brother Chen... do you have some good ideas?"
"Hmm!" Xiao Chen nodded, stubbed out his nearly burnt-out cigarette in the ashtray on the table, and then slowly said, "I do have some ideas."
Xiao Chen leaned forward slightly, a strange light flashing in his eyes: "Since it's a token for our group, it should have some special meaning! My idea is to make it in the shape of the Tai Chi Bagua—not that kind of vulgar pattern, but with the Yin and Yang poles inlaid with jade of different colors!"
“I just took a look and found that the color of each piece of jadeite rough is different. For example, the imperial green and the violet are yin and yang, respectively, complementing each other.”
"If these jadeite rough stones were used to make each piece, each person would receive a unique hand-held piece. But if they were put together, they would form a complete Tai Chi Bagua diagram!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen tapped his fingers lightly on the sofa armrest and nodded thoughtfully: "This idea is brilliant! It embodies the essence of our traditional culture and also subtly reflects the independent yet closely connected relationship among our group of people!"
At this point, an idea popped into Su Chen's mind, and he said with a smile, "Brother Chen, I've noticed that many top circles in the world have their own names, why don't we adopt one too?"
"Ah~" Xiao Chen's expression froze for a moment, staring blankly at Su Chen. It took him three to five seconds to come back to his senses. He smacked his lips several times before smiling wryly and saying, "If I didn't know better, I would have suspected that you were deliberately setting a trap for me!"
These words left Su Chen completely bewildered. He didn't understand what Xiao Chen meant. It was just about giving their circle a name, how did it turn into digging a pit?
Seeing the confusion on Su Chen's face, Xiao Chen understood that Su Chen couldn't be blamed. After all, he wasn't a native of the industry and naturally didn't know some of its unwritten rules.
Play around, joke around, but don't take the rules lightly!
Xiao Chen immediately explained some of the rules of the circle to Su Chen, especially for the younger generation like them. Those who were close could play around together, and everyone knew the situation in this circle.
However, if you were to give this circle a name, its nature would change, giving off a sense of forming cliques, which is a major taboo in their circle.
Some things are fine as long as they are not made public, but once the rules are broken, it is like destroying your own Great Wall.
After Xiao Chen's explanation, Su Chen finally understood just how "tricky" his suggestion was!
"Hehe~ Brother Chen, I was being shallow!" Su Chen laughed, picked up the teacup in front of him, gestured to Xiao Chen, and downed it in one gulp as an apology for his earlier rashness.
"You brat..." Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen rolled his eyes at Su Chen, knowing that Su Chen was just joking around, but he still picked up his teacup and responded with a fake "Garma Gag".
Fortunately, Chen Fei pushed a food cart out of the elevator at that moment, breaking the slightly awkward situation.
"Wow, this breakfast is quite substantial!" Xiao Chen's gaze fell on the food cart, and he was also surprised by the breakfast on it.
The food cart was filled with various steamers, bowls and plates on both sides. On the first floor, in particular, he saw steaming tofu pudding and noodles with minced meat sauce emitting a rich aroma.
Chen Fei placed a series of exquisite breakfast dishes on the table. The moment the steamers and bowls were opened, an even richer aroma wafted out, causing Su Chen and Xiao Chen to unconsciously swallow.
There's no way around it; everyone's hungry in the morning, and with that irresistible aroma, no one can resist.
Xiao Chen immediately picked up his chopsticks and reached for the crab roe soup dumpling closest to him. The thin, translucent skin appeared crystal clear under the light, and the soup inside could be clearly seen.
Xiao Chen took a small bite, and the slightly hot yet exceptionally delicious broth was sucked into his mouth in one gulp. He squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
"As expected of a master chef with state banquet-level skills, these crab roe soup dumplings are really delicious!" Xiao Chen exclaimed sincerely. But when his gaze returned from savoring the taste to the table, he was completely stunned.
Su Chen held a bowl of well-mixed noodles in one hand and reached for the breakfast on the table with chopsticks in the other, enjoying a delicious breakfast with every bite.
In the blink of an eye, at least a quarter of the breakfast on the table had gone into Su Chen's mouth.
"Hey... Su Chen, can you slow down a bit? You're a billionaire, after all. This is damaging to your image!" Xiao Chen said, picking up his chopsticks and eating heartily, at least half as fast as Su Chen.
Su Chen seemed not to hear Xiao Chen's words, focusing on eating until he swallowed the last bite of noodles with minced meat sauce, then leaned back on the sofa contentedly.
"You're one to talk, Brother Chen! Why don't you look at yourself? You seem to eat even more ruthlessly than me!" He couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the empty plates on the table after they had been devoured.
Xiao Chen, who was engrossed in drinking authentic Southwest spicy tofu pudding, suddenly became displeased and pointed at several empty steamers with annoyance: "How dare you say that to me? I only ate one steamer of crab roe dumplings, and you didn't leave me a single crab fat dumpling. As for the tiger skin chicken feet, I only saw a few bones."
Su Chen chuckled as he looked at the pile of bones in front of him, then quickly changed the subject, saying, "Brother Chen, we've all eaten and drunk our fill, and it's getting late, we should get going!"
After chatting with Grandpa Xiao and the others last night, I made an appointment with Xiao Chen to go out for a walk today to relax.
"Okay~" Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly upon hearing this, and did not delve further into the matter. He would just come over earlier tomorrow, eat in the front yard, and pack some food to take back.
If Su Chen knew what Xiao Chen was thinking, he would definitely have arranged for Jiang Hui and the others to lock the gate of the courtyard house!
"But speaking of which, where are you planning to take me today?" Xiao Chen asked curiously.
"Just come with me, you'll find out when we get there!" Su Chen deliberately kept them in suspense, not revealing the purpose of their trip. (End of Chapter)
