Chapter 121 Open your eyes and see the world!
"Mr. Su~ What's the matter with you calling so early?"

As soon as the call was connected, a slightly lazy voice was heard from the other end.

"Uh~" Hearing this, Su Chen looked at the time. It was exactly two o'clock in the afternoon. If converted to Paris time, it seemed to be six o'clock in the morning.

He smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, Arno, for disturbing your rest. I'll call you back later!"

Just as Su Chen was about to hang up the phone, he heard Arno's voice, "It's okay, Mr. Su, you must have something important to tell me when you call so early."

"Go ahead, it's okay, I'm already in the study!"

Hearing what Arno said, Su Chen stopped what he was doing.

He glanced at Xiao Chen beside him before saying, "Arno, I called you to ask for a favor!"

"Hmm? Mr. Su, is there anything I can help you with?" Arno was also a little surprised. It seemed that Su Chen didn't need his help either.

"Do you still remember the two animal heads you gave me before?"

Arno raised his eyebrows slightly. Could it be that Su Chen came to him just to ask him to find something else?

"What's the problem? It can't be that your experts say it's fake!" Arnault made a small joke.

"That's not the case." Su Chen thought about it and decided to go straight to the point. This roundabout approach was really not suitable for him.

"The thing is, the relevant departments are very concerned about the two animal heads you gave me, and they hope to donate them in the name of your Arno family! What do you think?"

Arno was confused for a moment when he heard this. The two beast heads had been given to Su Chen, so why were they now being donated in the name of their family? What unknown secrets were there?
Will it have any impact on the family? These are all things he needs to consider.

After a long silence, Su Chen heard Arno's voice again, "Mr. Su, let me think about this matter first. I just woke up and my mind is still a little confused. I'll call you later!"

"Okay~ I look forward to your call!"

After Su Chen hung up the phone, Xiao Chen immediately came to Su Chen's side and asked, "How is it, did that Arnault agree?"

Since both of them spoke Gaulish, Xiao Chen didn't understand a single word they said and was pacing anxiously.

Su Chen glanced at him unhappily and said, "Brother Chen, it's only six o'clock in the morning in Paris. If someone called you at this time and woke you up, would you be angry?"

"Don't be angry! I'm ready at any time!" Xiao Chen straightened his back and said with a firm face.

Su Chen fell silent upon hearing this, forgetting that Xiao Chen’s identity was one of those lovely people!

"I told Arno about it. He needs to think about it. He might be thinking about why we should hold this donation ceremony in the name of their family. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, he will call me later!"

Su Chen explained the whole story to Xiao Chen so that he would have an idea of ​​what was going on.

The two of them also began a long wait, and Su Chen even asked Jiang Hui to buy some duck products to pass the time.

In Paris in the northern hemisphere, Arnault and his daughter Shulaya were sitting in a magnificent restaurant eating breakfast.

"What do you think Su Chen is up to? He made a special phone call to donate two animal heads in the name of our family. Isn't this going to earn our family a good name? How could such a good thing come to us on its own?"

Arno knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, but he couldn't figure out what Su Chen or the person who made this suggestion was up to.

Shulaya didn't say anything after hearing this, but instead slowly ate the puff pastry in front of him.

After she finished the bread on the plate and took a sip of coffee, she slowly said, "Maybe they want to use our family's fame to achieve some purpose! After all, our family still has some influence in Europe."

Shulaya's words were like a wake-up call, and the old fox Arnault immediately figured out what was going on.

"Snapped!"

"So that's how it is!" Arno clapped his hands excitedly.

"Father, do you know?" Shulaya asked with curiosity on her face.

"Hmm~"

Arno looked at his daughter meaningfully and asked, "Shulaya, do you know anything about China, the country where Su Chen is?"

"Huaxia? I don't know much about it. I just read some reports on some social platforms, saying that except for the Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, Pengcheng and other cities in China, other places are quite poor!"

Arno showed a hint of disappointment at Shulaya's answer.

"No, Shulaya, China is very developed. Even those third- and fourth-tier cities are not much worse than our Paris, and the country's strength has already squeezed into the top three in the world!"

"Whether it's economic or military!"

My daughter is still too young. Although she has worked in the company for some time, her vision is still far from enough.

The heirs of a large group like them not only have to focus on the development of the group, but also have to look up from time to time to see how the world is changing.

If you can't keep up with the trend of the times, you will only be eliminated by the tide of the times.

"How is it possible? Is China more powerful than Gaul?" Shulaya was a little unconvinced.
Arno sighed. This couldn't be blamed on Shuraya. There were countless people with this mentality in Gaul and even in Europe. Even in the big families that had existed for hundreds of years, there were many people like Shuraya.

Open your eyes and look at the world!

Second- and third-generation people like Shuraya have flexible minds, but unfortunately their vision is still a little short-sighted, focusing only on their own country instead of looking at the world.

But this is normal. If she could look at the world, she wouldn't have to worry so much and would just abdicate and let Shuraya take over.

"It seems like we should let her see the world!" Arno also made a decision in his heart.

Although Shulaya was shocked by the fact that China was so powerful, what did the call have to do with Su Chen?

Then he asked the doubts in his mind.

"How can it not matter? It matters a lot!"

"We all know that this great oriental country has a history of about 5,000 years. It is the only country with a complete historical source. Naturally, countless cultural relics were born there. However, in modern times, many national treasures have been lost overseas for various reasons."

"And the reason why Su Chen made this call is to make our Arno family a leader, actively returning their country's lost cultural relics overseas and setting an example for other people or countries!"

Although Shulaya's vision was a bit narrow, he was quite smart. As soon as he heard what his father said, he understood what was going on!
"Father, Su is asking us to be a shield. We can't agree to this! If we do this, we will inevitably be targeted by some families!"

If they agreed to Su Chen's request, then their Arno family would really be the one to be blamed!
Arno shook his head slightly when he heard this. "No, we agree. Not only do we agree, but we will also use our Arno family's influence in Gaul to collect as many Chinese cultural relics as possible!"

"Ah~" Shulaya couldn't believe his ears. People are using you as a gun, and you are still rushing to give them bullets?
Seeing the confusion on Shulaya's face, Arno smiled and explained to her: "In recent years, China has developed rapidly and has become the second largest economy in the world. Coupled with its strong military strength, who can shake its position?"

"Su Chen should be the executor of the cultural relics return plan they chose. If we can actively cooperate with Su Chen to complete this plan, does it mean that we can gain the friendship of a great power!"

Faced with the choice between gaining the friendship of a great power and facing the dissatisfaction of several small families, Arno knew what to choose without hesitation.

They are just some cultural relics. It is not a big loss for those families. They just feel a little embarrassed.

"I understand, father!" As the heir to the family, he naturally understood what maximizing benefits meant.

In the eyes of Arnault and Shuraya, interests are always the biggest choice!

"I will arrange this matter myself. When the time comes, Shulaya, you should go to China in person and take a good look at what the mysterious Eastern country is like. Don't let those unscrupulous media in Europe blind you!"

"I understand, father!" Shulaya was also full of curiosity at this time. What kind of existence is the Eastern country? Why did her father respond with such a restrained attitude?

"Su Chen, do you think Arno will call us? We've been waiting for more than two hours, and the flowers are almost withered!" Xiao Chen asked with a dazed look while lying on the sofa.

During this time of waiting, Xiao Chen took a nap.

"Come on, Brother Chen, Arno is not a fool. He knows we are using them as guns."

"People will definitely think things over carefully before calling back. If I get sold out by then, who will I turn to?"

Just as Xiao Chen was about to retort, the phone Su Chen had placed on the table rang.

Before Su Chen stood up, he saw Xiao Chen jump up from the sofa.

When he saw the caller ID, it was Arnault calling, so he immediately handed the phone to Su Chen.

As soon as the call was connected, Arnault's enthusiastic voice came from the other end.

"Sorry, Mr. Su, I kept you waiting!"

"No way. I didn't pay attention to the time this morning and disturbed your rest!"

After the two chatted for a while, it was Arnault who took the initiative to talk about donations.

"We at Arno have agreed to what Mr. Su said before, but I have a small request. I wonder if you can agree to it?"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. The old fox was trying to cause trouble!

"I don't know what the request is?"

"Hahaha~ It's not unreasonable. It's just that for this donation ceremony, I think it's more formal if someone from our Arno family comes forward. I plan to have Shulaya come to China in a few days. I hope Mr. Su can take her around and broaden her horizons!"

Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but curse in his heart, "As expected of the head of Luwei Group, he is such an old fox!"

It really kills two birds with one stone!

If Shulaya came to the country to attend the donation ceremony on behalf of the Arnault family, it would be no less than a high-level free advertisement, and it would also allow Shulaya to get sufficient training, which would be the best of both worlds.

Su Chen covered the phone and told Xiao Chen about Arno's request.

I thought Xiao Chen would ask for instructions, but I didn't expect him to just nod and agree.

Su Chen could only suppress his curiosity, "Arno, there is no problem with this matter. Let's see when Shulaya will fly over and we will arrange related matters!"

After receiving a positive answer, Arno's voice became much lighter.

"I still have some things to deal with here. I'll have Shulaya fly over in half a month at most. What do you think?"

In fact, Arnault also wanted to be quicker, but he wanted to expand the scale of the donation, so he had to find more Chinese national treasures.
This all takes time, so I have no choice but to postpone it as much as possible.

"Okay, no problem. I'll go to the airport to pick up Miss Shulaya in person!"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while before hanging up the phone.

Throwing his phone on the table, Su Chen lay down on the sofa.

"Brother Chen, that old fox Arno arranged for his daughter to attend the donation ceremony. It's obvious that he wants us to promote him in China. Why did you agree to this?"

Xiao Chen chuckled, "It's the same. We can also use the name of the Arno family to promote it around the world. It will only benefit us!"

"Don't you think it would be more meaningful for the heir of the Arnault family to personally attend such a donation ceremony?" Xiao Chen showed a sly smile, and it was unknown what he was planning.

Su Chen shrugged. He didn't want to know too much about the twists and turns here. It was better not to get involved when it was so strenuous using his brain.

"By the way, Arno said it will take half a month to fly to the capital, so you should arrange your time accordingly!"

"Half a month?"

Xiao Chen calculated in his mind that it was almost around the New Year, so this timing was not bad!
"Okay~ I understand. I will report to the relevant person in charge."

Now that the matter was resolved, Xiao Chen was not going to stay with Su Chen anymore. Just as he was about to get up, he was stopped by Su Chen.

"Brother Chen, what fun and delicious food is there in the north in winter?"

"Fun and delicious?"

Xiao Chen glanced at him and knew that Su Chen had been staying at home basically recently and had not been to places like bars to play. He must have been quite bored after a long time.

"There aren't many fun places in the capital. The ice skating at Shichahai in front of your yard is the most lively place in the capital!"

When Su Chen heard this, he rolled his eyes. Is it possible that in such a big country like the north, apart from the lack of nightlife, there is nothing to do in winter?
"If you want to go skiing, see ice sculptures, etc., I recommend you go to the Ice City in the Northeast. There is a large ice sculpture festival there every year, and there are many authentic delicacies that you can try!"

"Ice City of Northeast China?" Su Chen thought of barbecue rather than skiing or ice sculptures.

If for no other reason, why is northern barbecue so cheap and has so much meat on a skewer?

In the south, a skewer of lamb costs at least seven or eight yuan, and if there is more meat, it can cost more than ten yuan.

In the north, a skewer of lamb only has two pieces.
Two pieces. In the south, it’s not even enough to eat a string of dried tofu. A string of twenty corn kernels is about right.

At such a price, who wouldn’t be envious if anyone in the South who likes to eat barbecue saw it?

　I didn’t want to move on the first, so I just wrote one. I’ll resume tomorrow!
