Chapter 124 Missing!
"How long do you plan to play in Ice City this time?"
Boss Yu picked up the fairness cup and poured a cup of tea for Su Chen and the other man.
Su Chen did not rush to answer, but picked up the teacup and took a sip carefully before saying, "I don't know how long I'll play for, so I'll just go around and visit the three northeastern provinces."
"Your tea tastes really good, very pure, without a trace of bitterness. It seems that this twenty-year-old Pu'er tea is worthy of its reputation!"
"Hahaha~ Of course! Otherwise I wouldn't have spent two hundred thousand to buy one cake!"
Hearing the praise, Boss Yu laughed heartily. Thinking that Su Chen and the others had just arrived in Bingcheng today, he asked again, "Have you arranged a place to live? How about you stay in my vacant house?"
"That's not necessary. Just stay at the nearby Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The view is pretty nice!"
After Su Chen finished speaking, he raised the teacup in his hand and indicated, "I appreciate your kindness!"
Upon hearing this, Boss Yu didn't say anything more. After all, they were already living in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, so who would consider living in his own small flat?
However, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes when he looked at Su Chen. Thinking about the scene at the door before, he suddenly realized that his understanding of Su Chen seemed to still remain in Lijiang.
Originally, he thought Su Chen was from an ordinary well-off family. From the conversation when they were in Lijiang, he could tell that he was still relatively green, just like an ordinary person.
But in just a few months, there have been earth-shaking changes.
His calm demeanor and the slightly flattering look on the face of the young man next to him all indicate that Su Chen's identity seems to be quite extraordinary.
Boss Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he asked with a smile: "What have you been busy with recently? Are you traveling around?"
"Well, that's about the same!" Su Chen thought about his experiences during this period and it was really similar to traveling, he was just playing everywhere.
Boss Yu had an idea in mind, and then he put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Have you thought about how to play? If not, I, a local, can be your free tour guide for a few days!"
"Free tour guide? I can't afford a tour guide like you, Boss Yu!" Su Chen said jokingly.
"Fuck you, it's decided. I'll be responsible for the rest of this trip!"
When Boss Yu said this, his attitude was so firm, as if he was going to argue with him if Su Chen said no.
Su Chen nodded helplessly upon seeing this, but having a local boss to guide him in the fun would definitely save a lot of time than playing on his own.
"Boss Yu, I can't refuse your kindness. I'll trouble you during this time!"
Boss Yu frowned and said in a feigned anger: "We are all friends, your words are so formal, what's the point of talking about trouble or not?"
After chatting for about an hour, Boss Yu's wife called and asked him to go home, saying that someone from her parents' home had come, and asked him to go back and buy some ingredients.
Su Chen got to see what Northeastern men and women were like. The scene was so heated that he could even hear his wife's roar through the phone.
Boss Yu wanted to avoid losing face in front of Su Chen, so he argued with his wife's family on the phone.
Su Chen had never experienced such a scene before, so he quickly tried to dissuade him, saying that it didn't matter when to eat as long as he couldn't neglect his family. After much persuasion, Boss Yu nodded and agreed to go home.
After leaving Boss Yu's teahouse, Fade Chen couldn't hold back his confusion and asked, "It's just about eating, why did Boss Yu make such a big fuss and even had a big fight with his wife? Wouldn't it be the same if we go for barbecue tomorrow?"
Su Chen stopped when he heard this and said with a smile: "That's because you don't understand Northeastern people!"
"Ah?" Chen Fei became even more confused.
“Because people in the Northeast care about their reputation!”
This is not Su Chen slandering the people from Northeast China. It can be seen from Boss Yu’s teahouse before that face must be grasped tightly. Even if the business is smaller and the profit is less, these face-saving guys must be arranged!
When leaving just now, Su Chen saw that Boss Yu was driving a Rolls-Royce Ghost. Although it was the cheapest in the Rolls-Royce series, it was still a Rolls-Royce. How could it not be cool and eye-catching when driving it on the street?
When chatting in the teahouse before, Su Chen also learned from Boss Yu that in addition to the B&B in Lijiang, he also opened several B&Bs in Sanya, with annual income of only a few million to less than 10 million.
How could one buy a car that is not very practical with such income? It is nothing more than showing off one's status.
"Save face? That's just suffering for the sake of face." Chen Fei muttered in a low voice.
"You're right, it's really the case." Su Chen's smile widened. "It's said that Northeastern men are afraid of their wives. Look at how tough Boss Yu was just now. I wonder if he'll suffer when he gets home!"
Upon hearing this, Fade Chen looked at Su Chen with a strange expression and said, "Sir, why do I feel like you are gloating over other people's misfortunes?"
The smile on Su Chen's face froze.
"What does it mean to take pleasure in someone else's misfortune? Ah Le, explain it to me!"
Just as Chen Fei was about to make an excuse, he heard the phone in Su Chen's pocket ringing.
"Sir, your phone is ringing."
Su Chen glanced at Chen Fei and took out his cell phone from his pocket.
"Huh? Didn't we just meet? Why are you calling me again?" Looking at Yu Qian displayed on the screen, Su Chen muttered softly.
The call was connected immediately.
As soon as the call was connected, Yu Qian's somewhat urgent voice was heard from the other end.
"Mr. Su, something happened to Wu Jing!"
"What's going on?" Su Chen's brows frowned instantly.
Yu Qian quickly told Su Chen the whole story. As mentioned before, after Wu Jing got Su Chen's support, in order to better restore the scenes in the script, Wu Jing took a team to Africa to find a suitable place to shoot the movie. He and Yu Qian agreed to call each other every morning to talk about the progress, and in case anything happened, Yu Qian could help deal with it in time.
This morning, Yu Qian made a transnational call to Wu Jing as usual, but the call could not go through. He tried to contact other team members, but the calls were also unsuccessful.
Yu Qian knew that something might have happened to Wu Jing, so he immediately called the African embassy and told her what had happened.
Thinking of the strength Su Chen had shown before, Yu Qian, with the mentality of trying everything possible, called Su Chen specifically, hoping to get some help from him.
"Okay, I got it!" Su Chen said and hung up the phone.
When Su Chen called, Fade noticed that his face became serious, and he knew that something must have happened.
Without any hesitation, while Su Chen was on the phone, he trotted to the place where he had parked before and drove the car over.
By the time Su Chen hung up the phone, Fade Chen had already parked the car in front of Su Chen.
He looked at Chen Fei in surprise. He didn't expect that he could have such a bright mind.
On the way back to the hotel, Su Chen was also thinking about how to deal with this matter.
As we all know, Africa is not as stable as China. There are conflicts between countries and between tribes.
Chen Fei saw Su Chen's frown through the rearview mirror and couldn't help asking, "Sir, I don't know what happened. I don't know if I can help you!"
"You help? What can you help with?" Before Su Chen finished speaking, something came to his mind.
"Hahaha~ Fade Chen, you really helped!"
Chen Fei was confused. He was frowning just now, why did he smile so happily as soon as he opened his mouth?
Am I a "mascot"? Once I open my mouth, all my problems will be solved?
For a moment, Chen Fei was also immersed in self-satisfaction.
As soon as I entered the hotel lobby, I saw Wang Shasha sitting in the lounge area.
When they saw him coming back, they immediately came to greet him.
"Mr. Su, how can I help you?" The respectful attitude stunned many hotel employees.
You should know that those who can become the private butlers of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel are elite talents who have been carefully selected and received various trainings, and their salary is one or two times that of ordinary employees.
She usually has an aloof attitude and is indifferent to them. I didn't expect to see her being so attentive today. For a moment, many people gathered together and discussed in a low voice.
Of course, the discussion is about Su Chen's identity that could make Wang Shasha so humble.
Su Chen glanced at her and said, "Send a fruit plate to the room later!" Then he walked into the elevator.
It is worth mentioning that to get to the rooms at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, you need to go through the lobby and take the elevator to get back, and you cannot go directly to the room floor from the first floor.
"Okay, Mr. Su!" Wang Shasha also breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm not afraid of Su Chen arranging things, I'm afraid of Su Chen not arranging things.
When Su Chen nodded and closed the door, Wang Shasha's back straightened instantly. She glanced around with an unfriendly look, and scared those who were whispering to shut their mouths immediately.
After returning to the presidential suite, Su Chen reminded Chen Fei not to disturb him unless it was something important, then he returned to his room and locked the door.
After checking the room and finding no problems, Su Chen took out the brick phone from the system warehouse.
He dialed the phone skillfully.
The phone rang twice and then the other end picked up.
It was still the same voice as last time, "Boss, good morning, what are your instructions?"
Just as Su Chen was about to ask the name of the person who answered the phone, a piece of information automatically appeared in his mind, which was about the person who was speaking.
The person who spoke was Raymond, the head of IPS Security Company.
"Raymond~Do we have a training base in South Africa?" Su Chen has also watched many blockbuster movies and knows that security companies of the size of IPS have bases in many places.
Not to mention places like Africa, where they are most active.
"Of course. I'm on inspection in South Africa now. Boss, is there anything you want us to do?" It was rare for the boss to call to arrange things, and Raymond would be lying if he said he wasn't excited.
"Well~ Here's what happened. A Chinese director and several members disappeared in South Africa. Find them for me and protect their safety!" Su Chen sent the information of Wu Jing and others.
Raymond thought it was some big event, but it turned out to be such a simple matter.
For their IPS, it works better than anyone else in this area.
"Don't worry, Boss. I will find the person for you in two hours at most!"
"Well~ waiting for your news!" After saying that, Su Chen hung up the phone.
