From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289: Chapter 174: Not Simple

"They say a new broom sweeps clean, and I’m no exception. I’ll use this incident as an opportunity to launch an internal audit of the group and sort out some of the company’s internal issues."

"I was hoping we could have dinner tonight and a good chat, but it looks like I won’t have the time. How about we get together after I’m done with this?" Ye Feng asked, looking at Su Chen and the other two.

Su Chen shrugged nonchalantly. "It’s fine. I’m spending the next few days here on West Island with my parents anyway. We can just call each other then."

Hearing this, Ye Feng nodded and turned his gaze to Si Cong and Qin Fen, who were trailing behind. "What about you two?"

He knew a little about Si Cong, and besides, they were all on the same side, so there was no need for formalities. As for Qin Fen, it was purely out of respect for Su Chen. Yangcheng City wasn’t very far from Macau, and he’d heard a thing or two about his family.

’My impression of him is just average, I suppose.’

A flash of pleasant surprise appeared in Si Cong’s eyes when he heard Ye Feng’s question. He quickly said, "We don’t have anything going on either. We’ll come with Su then."

Qin Fen, standing to the side, also nodded in agreement.

"Alright. I’ll give you guys a call after I’ve handled things!"

After speaking, Ye Feng patted Su Chen’s arm and left with his people.

Watching Ye Feng’s departing figure, Su Chen turned to the other two. "So, what’s the plan? You wanna hang out on West Island or head back to Sanya Bay?"

Si Cong and Qin Fen exchanged a glance before replying, "Let’s go back to Sanya Bay."

Su Chen didn’t say anything to that. He knew there wasn’t much to do on West Island; it was more suited for the slow-paced life of middle-aged people, a place to experience fishing culture.

Young people rarely came to West Island to have fun. At most, they’d come to the beach, snap a few photos to post online, and then leave. Most of them preferred to go to Wuzhizhou Island, which was known as the "Maldives of Huaxia" and offered all sorts of exciting water sports.

"Alright." After some small talk, Si Cong and Qin Fen left as well.

Before they left, Su Chen asked Si Cong to arrange for his clothes to be sent over, and to pass a message to Jiang Hui, telling him to go have fun on his own for a few days.

He had just gotten back to the second floor when Chen Shufen called him over.

"Huh? It’s just you? Did everyone else leave?" Chen Shufen asked curiously.

"Yeah. Everything’s settled, so why would they stick around?" Su Chen replied, then looked at Du Furong who was standing nearby. "Auntie Furong, does the guesthouse have any rooms left? Could you get one for me?"

Both Chen Shufen and Du Furong were taken aback by his words. Chen Shufen, in particular, looked at him in surprise. "You’re not going to hang out with your friends?"

Su Chen smiled, walked over to sit beside Chen Shufen, and said cheerfully, "There’ll be plenty of time for that later. I’m planning to spend the next few days having fun with you and Dad!"

Du Furong, standing to the side, remarked with a hint of envy, "Sigh, your son is so considerate. Not like my kid, who only knows how to ask me for money."

Chen Shufen just smiled, not taking the bait, and changed the subject. "Furong, you should still have rooms, right?"

"Yes, we do. It’s the off-season in Sanya right now, so not many people are here. There’s one room left on the second floor, right across the hall from you. You two chat for a bit, I’ll go get the key card!" With that, Du Furong got up and hurried downstairs.

Du Furong was gone and back in a flash, returning in less than a minute with the key card.

She walked right up to Su Chen and handed him the key card.

Su Chen looked at the key card in his hand. ’I haven’t even checked in yet, have I? And she’s just giving me the key card?’

"Auntie Furong, I still haven’t..."

Before Su Chen could finish, Du Furong cut him off with a wave of her hand. "Just stay. With the friendship I have with your mother, you should just treat this place like your own home!"

Seeing Du Furong’s firm expression, Su Chen didn’t press the issue and simply slipped the key card into his pocket.

"Mom, Auntie Furong, I’ll leave you two to chat. I’m going to my room to rest for a bit."

Last night’s marathon had drained a lot of his energy, and with everything that had happened today, Su Chen just wanted to find a place to lie down and get some proper rest.

Seeing the weariness on her son’s face, Chen Shufen’s heart ached for him. She told him to hurry up and rest, and that she’d call him when it was time for dinner.
