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

"Su Chen, are you even capable? It's been almost all morning and you haven't caught a single fish. Look... I've caught another big one!"

Xiao Chen shook the large carp, which weighed at least five or six pounds, and teased Su Chen, who was about ten meters away, with a smug look on his face.

His luck today... no, I should say his fishing skills were exceptionally strong. He caught nearly ten fish in just three or four hours this morning, the largest of which weighed twenty or thirty pounds.

As for Su Chen... after sitting on the bench for several hours, he directly became the number one seed player in the "Air Force" unit. Not to mention catching fish, even the float never sank.

Su Chen smacked his lips and immediately retorted, "What's so great about that? Have you forgotten my catch from a couple of days ago? I remember I caught the biggest one in the lake at the zoo, which weighed about 40 or 50 pounds. Brother Chen, it hasn't been that long, how could you forget!"

Then, changing the subject, Su Chen began to make excuses for his failure today: "The main reason I didn't catch any fish today is because this is my first time fishing in natural waters. I'm not used to it yet. I don't know how I'll fare off once I get used to it!"

Two or three days had passed since Xiao Chen and his friends got drunk.

The morning after they had been drinking, Chen He and Wu Jing took their leave early and returned to the city because of work, leaving only Su Chen, Xiao Chen, and Deng Chao.

After discussing it, the three of them suggested fishing. The main reason was that Su Chen couldn't forget the day he lost a big fish after his line was cut, and he kept thinking about it. They wanted to take this opportunity to get revenge.

At first, Su Chen seemed to have a beginner's aura, and fish would bite as soon as he cast his line. However, Su Chen was also a fishing novice. He caught quite a few fish at first, but Deng Chao gave him some pointers, and then he entered a crazy fishing mode.

After half a day, Su Chen's catch was more than double that of Xiao Chen and Deng Chao combined.

He even caught a large grass carp weighing forty or fifty pounds, which made Su Chen so proud that he showed it off to Xiao Chen and Deng Chao.

Who knew that fortunes could change so quickly? After two days of fishing at the zoo and getting a little bored, Xiao Chen suggested going fishing in the natural waters outside. After all, he was still not convinced of being thoroughly outmatched by Su Chen.

This suggestion was also agreed to by Deng Chao. As the best fisherman among the three, he also felt that fishing in the lake at the zoo would not showcase his true abilities.

Su Chen was in a state of high spirits and completely disregarded Xiao Chen and Deng Chao, believing that with his fishing skills, he could still catch countless fish even in natural waters.

After making the arrangements, Su Chen and his two companions, along with their driver Chen Fei, drove to the Yongxing River, the closest river to them, to go fishing and set up a tent for outdoor camping to relax.

Su Chen never expected that his first outdoor fishing trip would be such a blow, solidifying his reputation as a "short-sighted guy".

"Hahaha~ Old Su, stop making excuses!" Deng Chao burst out laughing when he heard the excuse Su Chen gave him.

Despite the laughter, Deng Chao still explained to Su Chen: "There's a saying about wild fishing: 'If you don't bait the hook, you won't catch many fish.' If you only use simple bait, you won't attract fish, and they won't bite!"

After spending these past few days together, Deng Chao became more relaxed and closer to Su Chen, and even his way of addressing him changed from "Mr. Su" to "Old Su".

Upon hearing the word "baiting," Su Chen immediately thought of when Xiao Chen and Deng Chao first started preparing for fishing. The two of them each prepared nearly half a basin of bait, and Su Chen even teased them at the time, asking if they were there to feed the fish.

Looking back now, it seems those two guys were secretly baiting the spot and deliberately kept it from him, not telling him about the things to be careful about when fishing in the wild.

Once Su Chen understood, he glared at Xiao Chen and Deng Chao, his grip on the fishing rod tightening. He felt an urge to rush over and show them what a fist the size of a casserole dish looked like.

Faced with Su Chen's gaze, Deng Chao smiled sheepishly, glanced at Xiao Chen beside him, and had an expression that said, "You're blaming me, it was all Brother Chen's idea."

Xiao Chen, however, smiled smugly, put the carp he had just caught into the fish basket, and wiped his hands with a towel. "Our Master Su is fishing so well in the lake at the zoo, why would he need us to remind him about something as trivial as baiting?"

Su Chen immediately rolled his eyes at Xiao Chen, who was just getting revenge for his smugness at the zoo earlier.

"Sir, you have a phone call!" Fortunately, Chen Fei walked over with his phone at that moment, rescuing Su Chen from this awkward situation.

Su Chen immediately put down his fishing rod, stood up, and casually asked, "Who called?"

Chen Fei glanced at Deng Chao, hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "It's from Zheng Island. They have something important to report!"

Su Chen's eyes lit up. He naturally knew why the call was coming; he had been keeping a close eye on things privately for some time.

He immediately took the phone from Chen Fei, gestured to Xiao Chen and Deng Chao, and then walked a few steps toward the open space next to him.

Some things, before the mystery is solved, should be kept secret.

Su Chen answered softly a few times while holding his phone, and the smile on his face gradually appeared until it blossomed into a wide grin.

"Okay, I understand! Have them collect all the relevant data, and make sure there are no mistakes!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Chen was no longer depressed about his fishing "Waterloo," which made Xiao Chen, who was standing next to him, look like he wanted to say something but couldn't.

If Deng Chao hadn't been there, he would have put his arm around Su Chen's neck and started asking him questions.

"Brother Chen, Old Deng, it's getting late, almost noon. Why don't we stop here for now and grab something to eat?" Su Chen asked the two with a smile.

Deng Chao naturally had no objections, as for Xiao Chen... he walked straight towards the tent that had been set up and plopped down on the portable recliner.

Smelling the steaming hot pot on the table, he immediately grabbed his chopsticks, picked up some mutton, and started cooking it. He called out to Su Chen and Deng Chao, "Didn't we say we were going to eat? What are you two standing there for?"

When they came out, they had prepared a lot of ingredients, including ten boxes of beef and mutton, each weighing nearly two pounds, not to mention other meats, vegetables and side dishes.

After Su Chen and the others sat down, they each picked up their bowls and chopsticks and began to eat.

"Old Su, what are your plans for this afternoon?" Xiao Chen suddenly asked halfway through the meal.

"It's not clear yet. Let's go back and get a good night's sleep after we finish eating!" Su Chen replied without looking up, understanding the meaning behind Xiao Chen's words.

He was preparing a surprise for Xiao Chen. If Xiao Chen found out about the itinerary, he would probably try every means to get the answer out of him.

"Oh~" Seeing that Su Chen didn't intend to say anything, Xiao Chen didn't press the matter further.

However, Deng Chao, who was standing to the side, sensed something was amiss. Connecting it with the phone call Su Chen had just received, he realized that there were some things he didn't know.

He couldn't help but think to himself that he should be sensible and find an excuse to leave later, which would be better than Su Chen having to ask him to leave himself.

For a moment, apart from Chen Fei who was focused on cooking, the other three had different thoughts!
……

Around 3 PM, Su Chen stretched and slowly came out of his room. As soon as he reached the rest area, he saw Chen Fei sitting on the sofa drinking a cold beverage.

He walked over to the sofa and sat down, asking, "Ah Fei, is the flight arranged yet?"

"Sir, everything is arranged. The flight is at 4:30. We just need to depart before 4 o'clock!" Chen Fei quickly stood up to report.

"By the way, sir, Mr. Deng Chao has left on business. He asked me to convey his apologies to you and Boss Xiao!"

Upon hearing this, a smile flashed in Su Chen's eyes. Deng Chao was indeed a shrewd person, saving him a lot of trouble.

Thinking about the upcoming flight, Su Chen immediately instructed, "Don't tell Brother Chen about flying to Kite Island later, so he won't keep asking questions along the way!" "Ah~" Chen Fei opened his mouth upon hearing this, "Sir, isn't that inappropriate? I'm afraid the boss will beat me up in private!"

The thought of being trained by Xiao Chen at the training camp in the suburbs sent a chill down Chen Fei's spine.

"Don't worry, I'm just giving him a surprise!" Su Chen waved his hand with a smile, indicating that Chen Fei didn't need to worry.

"Are you two whispering to each other behind my back?" A voice came from behind them.

Su Chen and his companion looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xiao Chen walking towards them with a curious expression.

"Uh..." Su Chen didn't expect Xiao Chen to appear so coincidentally. He replied without changing his expression, "I didn't say anything. I was just talking to Chen Fei about fishing. I was thinking that it seems like we can go sea fishing in the Bohai Sea recently. I was wondering if we should experience the joy of fighting big fish!"

Chen Fei, realizing what was happening, immediately chimed in, "That's right, that's what you were talking about with me. I heard the fishing is going very well in the Bohai Sea!"

Xiao Chen, unsuspecting, plopped down next to Su Chen, his face even showing a hint of anticipation: "Really? To be honest, I've never done sea fishing before. How about we give it a try?"

Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh. He hadn't expected that his casual excuse would actually get him involved.

However, it's also convenient that Zheng Island is located in the Bohai Bay. If they fly there by plane, it won't arouse too much suspicion from Xiao Chen.

Su Chen immediately made the decision: "Let's go right away. We'll fly over now, rest for the night, and catch an early breakfast tomorrow morning. What do you think, Brother Chen?"

"Sure~ I have no problem!" Xiao Chen agreed without even thinking.

After two days of exposure, Xiao Chen has developed an interest in fishing, especially when he catches a big fish, which gives him a sense of accomplishment.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen immediately gave Chen Fei a look and instructed, "Afei, go and arrange a plane right away. We'll fly directly to Jinzhou Bay!"

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, then immediately walked outside, looking like he was going to make a phone call to arrange flight routes.

After standing outside for two or three minutes, Jia Ga Ma Ga quickly walked back to the rest area and reported, "Sir, Brother Chen, the flight has been arranged. It's the 4:30 flight, and we can depart soon!"

Xiao Chen glanced at the time and saw that it was only a few minutes until four o'clock. Although they were not far from Daxing Airport, it would still take about ten minutes to get there. If they were to spend more time at the airport, the time would be quite tight.

Xiao Chen turned his gaze to Su Chen and asked, "Shall we go?"

"Let's go!" Su Chen jumped up from the sofa.

After greeting Xiao Chen and Chen Fei, they got into Wang Hai's car and headed straight for the airport.

Xiao Chen didn't notice anything amiss during the journey until they boarded the plane and took off from Daxing Airport, at which point he gradually came to his senses.

When will it be so easy to book private flights at Daxing Airport, with arrangements made just a few tens of minutes in advance?
He always felt like he had been tricked by Su Chen.

Unable to suppress his doubts, he immediately asked Su Chen, "Old Su, are you hiding something from me?"

Su Chen looked at Xiao Chen with feigned confusion, "Brother Chen, what could I possibly be hiding from you?"

"Really nothing?" Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and moved closer to Su Chen. "Why do I feel like this journey has been unusually smooth? Going sea fishing on a whim, crossing the route in seconds, this seems a bit illogical."

After a pause, Xiao Chen's tone became more smug, as if he had seen right through him: "Was it that phone call you received around noon? You used the excuse of sea fishing to lure me to Zheng Island so you could inspect the park?"

"Ahem!" Su Chen coughed awkwardly twice, looking as if you'd seen right through him.

Actually, she was overjoyed inside. She had thought that if Xiao Chen found out in advance, it would lose the meaning of the surprise, but she never expected that things would turn out this way by accident.

"Just as you said, Brother Chen, I mainly came to Zheng Island to inspect the work, but of course... I also had the idea of ​​sea fishing!"

"You little rascal..." Xiao Chen chuckled and pointed at Su Chen with his finger, "Next time, just tell me directly about things like this. What's the point of hiding it? Are you afraid of affecting my mood? Do you think your brother is the kind of person who can't tell right from wrong?"

"Hehe, it's my fault, I definitely won't do it again!" Su Chen replied with a smile.

It's not far from Beijing to Jinzhou Bay, only about an hour's flight.

As Su Chen and his group disembarked from the plane, a convoy of vehicles sent by the park had been waiting for them for some time on the side of the road.

When Su Chen and his group arrived at Zhengdao Park, it was only around 6:30 in the evening. They happened to see a beautiful sunset on the way, which turned the entire sea into an orange glow.

"Sir, you've arrived!" As soon as Su Chen entered the park, Xiao Peng quickly came to greet him. When he saw Xiao Chen following closely behind, he was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected him to be here as well, and hurriedly greeted him, "Boss, good evening!"

"Mm!" Xiao Chen nodded slightly in response.

"Where are Professor Li and the others? Are they eating or at the research base?" Su Chen looked around and asked.

As one of the current heads of the park, Xiao Peng naturally knew the progress of Professor Li's research and understood the meaning behind Su Chen's words. He immediately replied, "Professor Li and his team are currently studying the testing grounds of the base."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "Arrange a car, and Brother Chen and I will go take a look!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Peng's eyes flashed with surprise. This was the prelude to a showdown. Despite his thoughts, he did not hesitate at all and immediately drove an electric sightseeing vehicle into the park.

Su Chen invited Xiao Chen and Chen Fei to get into the car, and the four of them drove towards the research base behind them.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the research base, they were stopped by the guards. Even though the captain in charge had already recognized the people in the car, he still said sternly, "Everyone, please hand over any electronic devices you have on you!"

Su Chen, Chen Fei, and Xiao Peng did not hesitate at all and took out all their belongings. Although Xiao Chen was puzzled, as this had never happened before, he still handed over his electronic devices.

After a series of checks, Su Chen and his group switched to a sightseeing bus. Once inside, they went through two more checks, with increasingly more elaborate equipment being used. The final check even involved a security gate typically found only at airports.

These checks filled Xiao Chen's mind with doubts. Several times he wanted to ask questions, but he swallowed his words back at the last moment.

He knew that the mystery was about to be revealed, and if he asked now, he might not get the answer from Su Chen.

Soon, Su Chen and his group entered a building that resembled a factory. After passing through the lobby and corridors, an electronic security door blocked their way.

Xiao Peng walked to the door, swiped his card, entered his password, and then verified his identity with his pupils. The electronic security door clicked open slowly.

Seeing these stringent measures, even Xiao Chen, who was used to seeing many classified projects, was slightly taken aback.

Su Chen had been paying attention to Xiao Chen's changing expression. When he saw Xiao Chen's gaze fixed on the space behind the opened electronic security door, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a wicked smile.

He took a step to the side, coming to Xiao Chen's side, and said in a solemn tone, "Let's go, Brother Chen, I'll take you to witness a miracle!" (End of this chapter)
