From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 270

After hearing Reba's story, Da Mimi on the other end of the call fell silent.

A long moment passed before her voice came through. "Are you sure this Mr. Su is someone important?"

"Hmm... I don't think he's just some ordinary person," Reba said, recalling what she'd overheard the previous night. "From their conversation, this Mr. Su is very familiar with 'Si Cong' and those other rich heirs. It seems they even opened a restaurant chain called Goat Village together."

Su Chen and the others had only mentioned it offhandedly during their chat last night, but unexpectedly, Reba had taken note.

Da Mimi and Deng Chao were already good friends, so she was well aware that he'd suddenly come into a lot of money last year. After some subtle probing, she'd learned that he had found a powerful backer and opened a few restaurants with them. The name of the chain was, in fact, Goat Village.

'Could it be that the powerful backer he mentioned is this Mr. Su?' For a moment, Da Mimi fell silent again.

But Da Mimi was a veteran who had navigated the entertainment industry for over a decade; she quickly came up with a plan.

"Just pretend you don't know anything about this and carry on as usual!" With that, Da Mimi hung up.

Reba stared at her phone, utterly confused. 'Why was she in such a panic at first, but now she's telling me to act like I don't know anything?'

Shaking her head, she set her phone aside and lay back down.

Meanwhile, Weibo and Douyin were in an uproar. After all, Reba was the dream girl for countless people, and the topic quickly shot into the top ten trending hashtags.

For a while, online speculation ran rampant.

As for the other person involved... he was being woken up by a knock on his door.

Seeing a frantic-looking Deng Chao outside, Su Chen rubbed his still-sleepy eyes and asked, "What's with all the rush so early in the morning? Did something happen?"

"Mr. Su, look at this!" Deng Chao hurriedly handed over his phone.

Su Chen took the phone, confused. When he saw the article on the screen, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

'I was always the one reading celebrity gossip online,' he thought. 'Never expected to be the subject of it myself one day.'

"Tsk, tsk. These paparazzi are terrible. They didn't capture my good looks at all. It's only half my face... Thumbs down!" Su Chen actually started critiquing the photo.

Hearing this, Deng Chao was completely stunned...

'Dude, seriously?' he thought. 'I came here to figure out how to solve this, and you're admiring your own picture?'

Of course, Su Chen saw the anxious look on Deng Chao's face. He waved him inside, since standing in the doorway wasn't going to solve anything.

Just as they sat down, there was another knock at Su Chen's door. He opened it and, unsurprisingly, found Chen He and Lu Zi looking at him with equally worried expressions.
