Chapter 137 New Year, New Blind Box!
The next day, Su Chen rushed to the hospital early in the morning and bought breakfast for Su Zhiyun on the way.
As soon as I walked into the ward, I saw Su Zhiyun watching TV intently.
"Dad, what are you looking at? You look so focused! Here, I brought you breakfast!" As he said that, he placed the breakfast in his hand on the small table next to the bed.
He also thoughtfully took the soy milk and fried dough sticks out of the bag.
Su Zhiyun didn't have any big hobbies, except smoking and drinking tea occasionally, but he liked to drink soy milk with fried dough sticks, and Su Chen had been doing this for more than ten years.
Add some sugar to the hot soy milk, cut the fried dough sticks into pieces and soak them in the soy milk, wait for a dozen seconds before eating, the taste is absolutely amazing.
Su Zhiyun saw the soy milk and fried dough sticks on the table, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, "You are a man with a conscience, knowing that I love this."
As he said this, Su Zhiyun got out of bed and skillfully soaked the fried dough sticks in the bowl of soy milk, filling it up completely.
Seeing Su Zhiyun's happy face, Su Chen smiled and said proudly, "Of course!"
"Dear audience, we are now in the National Museum, and what is about to happen is..."
Hearing the sound coming from the TV, Su Chen hurriedly turned around to look at the TV. The title displayed on the screen was about the Arnault family's donation and return of cultural relics. It seemed that the donation ceremony would be broadcast live.
Come to think of it, this donation ceremony is for the public to see!
"What a joy!"
"I don't know how many cultural relics those foreign devils have robbed us of. Now that our country has become strong again, those foreign devils are now afraid!" Su Zhiyun said excitedly while watching TV.
Su Chen was a little dazed looking at the excited Su Zhiyun, and gradually realized one thing in his heart, that is, this donation ceremony was not as simple as he thought.
What Xiao Chen had told him before about big foreign families and private collectors returning our cultural relics that had been lost overseas were all secondary!
It would be best if someone could learn from the Arnault family and return the cultural relics that have been lost overseas to the country.
If they don't return it, there's nothing we can do for now.
What is the most important thing at the moment? It is to gather the national confidence of ordinary people like Su Zhiyun, and let them see that the country has become strong and is no longer bullied as it was decades ago.
"I've always felt something was wrong. No wonder Xiao Chen was so concerned and busy all the time. Even Jiang Yang actively participated in it and even played mahjong with Shulaya for a few days at the State Guest House with me."
"Xiao Chen, what are you mumbling about? Sit down quickly, the donation ceremony is about to begin!" Su Zhiyun's words interrupted Su Chen's thoughts.
Just now, an inspiration flashed through his mind, but before he could think about it carefully, he was interrupted by Su Zhiyun, and the inspiration naturally disappeared without a trace.
Su Chen was also a little helpless, but this was his old father after all. Could he really turn the tables on Tian Gang?
He sighed softly, put all his previous thoughts behind him, sat next to Su Zhiyun and watched the live broadcast on TV quietly.
The donation ceremony was very formal, with a red carpet and red flags flying. On the curtain wall of the stage were written large characters such as "The Arnault family donated the bronze snake head and sheep head from the Old Summer Palace". In front of the curtain wall was a large object covered by a red cloth. Su Chen could tell at a glance that it was a glass display case.
The ceremony was actually very simple. After the relevant leaders made some speeches, Shuraya, as the representative of the Arnault family, and the cultural leaders unveiled the red cloth together.
When the red cloth slowly fell and two bronze animal heads appeared in sight, a burst of warm applause rang in Su Chen's ears, which frightened him.
"Dad, you are so excited!" Su Chen said with a somewhat complaining tone.
What he got was Su Zhiyun's contemptuous look. "How can you young people understand such an exciting scene? This is a reflection of the country's strength. Otherwise, the Arno family would not have returned the two animal heads, two national treasures and thousands of cultural relics to our country!"
"If you fall behind, you will be beaten. We were too poor back then and were controlled by others in many aspects. How many people worked hard to get to where we are today? How can this not be exciting!"
"What a shame! It would have been great if I could have seen this scene live!" Although Su Zhiyun felt a little sorry about this, his face was still filled with pride.
Su Chen was filled with mixed emotions when he heard this. Su Zhiyun and others had just gone through that difficult period and witnessed the difficulties of the country.
At that time, it was considered good to have something to eat, let alone having a full meal and meat for every meal like we do now!
Today we have such a good day, which is also the result of countless ancestors' dedication. An idea gradually took root in Su Chen's heart!
The donation ceremony lasted for more than an hour before it ended, and Su Chen still saw Jiang Yang on TV.
As the person in charge of the handover of the animal heads, he changed his previous playful look and became particularly solemn and dignified. Combined with his handsome face, I wonder how many girls will suffer from insomnia tonight.
"Dad, when spring comes, I'll take you and mom to the capital to play, watch the flag-raising ceremony and climb the Great Wall!" Su Chen said suddenly.
"Hmm?" Su Zhiyun's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and then he thought of something, and said with a somewhat disdainful tone: "Who asked you to bring her? I have already thought about it. When the hot pot restaurant at home is completely on track in April or May, I will take your mother on a honeymoon."
"Why are you going with me? To be a third wheel?"
Su Chen was speechless. He saw the change in Su Zhiyun's expression just now. It was not like he had thought about it long ago. He just made the decision on the spur of the moment after hearing his proposal.
The family has made a lot of money, and his parents are in good health now, so Su Chen doesn't have to worry about anything even if he really goes out for some time alone.
Glancing at Su Zhiyun who was bandaged, Su Chen smiled and said jokingly, "Dad, you'd better take good care of your body, otherwise it will be difficult to climb the mountain!"
"Go to hell, you little bastard!" Su Zhiyun glared at Su Chen unhappily.
A crisp ringtone rang, interrupting the chat between the father and son.
"The sky is blue and waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you, the smoke from the cooking stove rises, thousands of miles across the river"
Su Chen looked at the caller ID and hesitated for a moment.
Su Zhiyun on the side muttered: "Why are you still standing there? Answer the phone?"
Su Chen smiled bitterly and answered the phone.
The caller was none other than Shulaya, who had just finished the donation ceremony. As for why Su Chen didn't want to answer the call, it was because he was worried that she would know that Su Chen was in the Fog City and would fly directly to the Fog City.
Su Chen doesn't want to be a "third companion" anymore. He is already tired of chatting, eating and playing mahjong with others every day. He just wants to lie on his own recliner, listen to music, drink tea and pet the cat.
"Hey, Shulaya, what's going on?"
"Mr. Su, I'm going back home this afternoon!"
"Ah~" Su Chen was so happy. It was great to be back home. Now that Shulaya had returned, he would be free!
"What a pity! You are welcome to visit China when you have the chance in the future!" Su Chen said it was a pity, but he had a big smile on his face.
"Well~ This time won't be too long. Mr. Su will take me to taste all the Chinese delicacies."
Su Chen was just being polite, but he didn't expect Shulaya to be so serious.
"Okay~ I look forward to your next visit!" I could only continue the words I said with tears in my eyes.
The two chatted for a while before Shuraya hung up the phone and said that the relevant department wanted to talk to her.
Su Chen naturally knew the ins and outs of this. He simply wanted to start some cooperation, use the Arnault family's influence in Europe, and intervene in some business markets.
When Su Chen hung up the phone, he saw Su Zhiyun had come up to him and was listening with his ears perked up.
Because Su Chen spoke Gallic, Su Zhiyun couldn't understand what they were saying. He only knew that the voice coming from the other end of the phone was a woman.
"Xiao Chen, you wouldn't have found a foreign girlfriend, right? You're not young anymore and the New Year is coming soon, you can bring her back to see her!" Su Zhiyun said with a hint of excitement.
"What girlfriend? She's just a friend!" Su Chen explained quickly. He didn't want to find a girlfriend so soon.
Su Zhiyun sighed when he heard this, "Hey, I thought she was your girlfriend. She can't bring honor to the country!"
Su Chen was speechless. What the hell is this about winning glory for the country? Could it be that finding a foreign girlfriend is winning glory for the country?
-
Su Zhiyun stayed in the hospital for another four or five days. His body had basically recovered. Except for some bruises on his body that had not yet disappeared, there was nothing serious, so he was discharged from the hospital.
After packing up, the three of them went straight back to the rental house.
"Dad, why don't we buy a big house in the main city!"
Su Chen looked at the small two-bedroom house and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
"Buy a house? Why buy a house? Don't you have a house in Fuzhou?" Su Zhiyun asked with some confusion.
For them, as long as the house is big enough, they don’t care how big it is.
"Think about it, now that our hot pot business is gradually spreading throughout the Fog City, you and mom basically stay in the main city. It's impossible for you to rent a house forever."
"If we have guests or my second and third uncles come to visit, we won't be able to move around the rental house. Besides, the house prices in Fog City are not expensive. If I buy a house now, it may even appreciate in value!"
After hearing this, Su Zhiyun thought about it seriously and found that what Su Chen said made some sense. It was impossible for him to rent a house forever.
"Okay, I'll discuss this matter with your mother when she comes back!"
As long as Su Zhiyun decided on such a big thing, Chen Shufen would basically not object.
Although Su Zhiyun is a henpecked man, that is only at home. When something big happens, he is still the one who makes the decisions.
"Knock, knock~" Fade Chen knocked on the door gently, and said from the doorway, "Sir, there's something going on!"
When Su Chen saw that Chen Fei was hesitant to speak, he knew that it was not convenient to talk about it in front of Su Zhiyun, so he walked over quickly.
After finding a quiet corner, Su Chen asked, "What's the matter?"
"Two things. Butler Jiang sent a message saying that Wu Jing has returned to China and has something to talk to you about. He didn't say anything specific, and it seems that it's not convenient to talk over the phone."
"The second thing is that Master Ye called and said that the matter has been settled and the relevant information has been sent to your mobile phone!"
Hearing that the matter was settled, a cold look flashed in Su Chen's eyes. He took out his cell phone and saw that there was indeed a message from Ye Feng.
As for Wu Jing looking for him, it should not be simply to express his gratitude or to ask him for something else, otherwise he would not have specifically called Butler Lao Jiang.
"I see. Give Lao Jiang a call and ask Wu Jing to come home tomorrow."
Fade Chen was stunned for a moment, then asked with some doubt: "Home? Sir, are you talking about here?"
Su Chen's forehead was full of black lines, and he said unhappily: "Why come here, I'm talking about the imperial capital!" "Oh, I see, sir. Then I'll tell the captain to arrange the route!" Chen Fei was finally smart and knew to arrange the private plane.
Su Chen nodded and turned back into the house.
"Are you leaving?" Su Zhiyun asked as soon as he entered the house.
Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, there are some things that need to be dealt with."
In fact, Su Chen was not just coming to see Wu Jing. What was more important was that the system had been refreshed for a new month and the 1 billion yuan of funds had not been spent yet. If he stayed at home, he didn't know how to spend the money.
As for the blind box gift package, Su Chen had already bought it in his spare time, spending 100 million yuan. It was indeed a lot worse than the previous blind box gift package.
I have been busy in the hospital these days and have not opened the gift package yet, so I don't know what's inside.
Su Zhiyun also knew that Su Chen's current business was very successful and he even had a personal bodyguard. All he could do now was to avoid causing trouble for Su Chen. "Okay, remember to come back for the New Year!"
"Hehe~ I will definitely come back. I still miss the cured pig's trotters made by my grandma!" Su Chen swallowed his saliva as he said this.
Su Zhiyun shook his head when he saw this. He was so old, but he could still eat so much.
At noon, Su Chen had lunch with his family. Before leaving, Su Chen called Su Yan aside and gave him some instructions. In order to avoid the previous incident from happening again, he also asked him to find a few familiar retired comrades to form a security department to specifically look after the safety of the hot pot restaurant.
"Don't worry, big brother. Something like this will never happen again!" Su Yan said seriously.
Su Chen patted Su Yan's shoulder without saying much. He said hello to his parents and went straight to the airport.
"Why are you here?" When Su Chen rushed to the airport, he saw Yin Zheng waiting by his private plane early.
"Hehe~ Fade Chen called me and told me that you were going back to the capital and asked me to arrange someone to pick you up. It just so happened that Brother Yang asked me to go to the capital to play for a few days, so I shamelessly flew to the capital with you today." Yin Zheng said with a smile.
He received the invitation after seeing Jiang Yang on TV and calling him to congratulate him. It was also at that time that he learned from Jiang Yang that the plane Su Chen took to return to Wudu was his private one.
"I don't like to hear what you say. What do you mean by being shameless and treating it as your own?"
After boarding the plane, Yin Zheng discovered that the interior decoration of the cabin was so luxurious. It stands to reason that with the strength of their Yin family, it is more than enough to buy a private plane, but no one in the entire Yin family bought a private plane.
The most purchased items are supercars, all kinds of supercars, even a globally limited edition Bugatti Veyron.
Of course, these are all the cars of Yin Zheng’s father. His best one is only a Lamborghini Veneno.
"Private jets are really comfortable. I never thought of this before!" Yin Zheng sighed after touring the entire cabin.
I was thinking that after he comes back from the capital, I will persuade his father to buy a private jet, which will make it much more convenient for him to go out and play.
Three hours later, the plane landed at the Imperial Capital Airport.
Yin Zheng, who was used to staying in the foggy city, couldn't help shivering when the cold wind blew on his face when he got off the plane.
"Why is this northern wind so biting!"
Jiang Hui, who had been waiting for a long time, also walked over quickly, bowed and said, "Sir, welcome home!"
"Okay, Lao Jiang, get in the car, it's really cold outside!"
Yin Zheng did not bring anyone else with him when he came to the capital this time. It just so happened that Jiang Hui came to pick him up at the airport and the car he drove was a Rolls-Royce Phantom, which could just accommodate four people.
The Rolls-Royce slowly drove out of the business airport.
Su Chen tilted his head and asked, "Yin Zheng, are you going to stay at my place or should I send you to the hotel?"
"Let's go to the hotel. If we go to your house, some things will be inconvenient!" Yin Zheng had a sly smile on his face.
That's right, a smirk.
It is inconvenient for him to say so, so there is no need to say more.
Su Chen smiled and shook his head, and did not forget to remind him: "You still have to be careful to destroy the props used in the crime in time to avoid being taken advantage of by others."
You know, the lesson of Qin Fen is still fresh in our minds.
"Don't worry, I'm pretty familiar with this." Yin Zheng said with a smile.
Su Chen didn't say anything after seeing this. He turned to Chen Fei who was driving and said, "Let's go to the Peninsula Hotel in Wangfujing first."
As for why Yin Zheng was arranged there, it was mainly because it was close to him, less than ten minutes' drive away, which would be convenient if anything happened.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when Su Chen returned to the courtyard. As soon as he entered the house, Su Chen lay down on his favorite recliner.
"Ah~ I can finally have a good rest for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone on the table rang, and the smile on Su Chen's face froze instantly.
"Damn it, this flag really can't be set up randomly!"
Su Chen took the phone while cursing. The person who called was Jiang Yang. It seemed that Yin Zheng had already "tipped off" him.
"Did you turn on the surveillance camera at my house? I just lay down when you called me. Tell me, what's the matter?"
As soon as the call was connected, Su Chen started to talk, leaving Jiang Yang on the other side a little confused.
"Um, will you come to dinner tonight?" Jiang Yang was silent for a long time before he finally uttered a sentence.
Su Chen thought about it and decided to refuse. He knew that there would be other activities besides dinner tonight, and if he went, he would probably spoil everyone's interest.
"You guys eat, I won't come anymore. I just want to take a bath and have a good sleep. I'm exhausted from all this time!"
Jiang Yang also knew how busy Su Chen had been in the past half month. Seeing that he refused, he did not try to persuade him any further. After chatting for a few words, he hung up the phone.
The dinner was particularly sumptuous. I don’t know if it was because Su Chen hadn’t been home for a long time, but Aunt Tang cooked several of Su Chen’s favorite dishes.
Su Chen was also quite satisfied with the meal.
Lying in the bathtub, Su Chen also called out the system that he hadn't seen for a long time.
【Advanced God of Wealth System】
[Host: Su Chen]
[Caishen Blind Box Store: Premium Blind Box x1, Price: million (Sold)]
[Warehouse: Advanced blind box x1, nano chip technology, ultra-high-end CNC machine tool manufacturing technology, etc.! ]
[Senior God of Wealth: I have plenty of money! (Remaining amount: 9 million)]
After a quick look, Su Chen turned his attention to the high-end blind boxes in the warehouse.
"System, open the advanced blind box!"
"The advanced blind box has been opened. Congratulations to the host for obtaining water purification technology!"
"Huh?" When Su Chen heard about the water purification technology, he instantly sat up from the bathtub.
After simply wiping himself, Su Chen found a bathrobe and put it on.
Su Chen knew the importance of water resources at that time. He said that the two most famous mineral water companies in China have a market value of over 100 billion yuan, and one of them is even among the top three on the domestic rich list.
This is enough to show that you can become the richest man by selling water.
As for the water purification technology that Su Chen had just opened from the blind box, although he didn't know what it was, he understood one thing.
"System products must be top quality!"
Originally, Su Chen thought that it was another thick pile of information like before, but when he opened the system warehouse, he found only a USB drive.
"Wow, the system also knows about the troubles of paper!" Su Chen sighed slightly.
But as Su Chen, who has top hacking skills, he also knows that only paper documents are the safest.
After playing with the USB flash drive for a while, Su Chen walked towards the study. He had previously thought about buying two top-level computers, but he has been very busy recently and almost forgot about the computers. If he hadn't needed a computer today, Su Chen would probably not have remembered it.
The computer in the study was bought by Xiao Chen when he was renovating the house. Its configuration is basically not found on the market.
After Su Chen turned on the computer, he did not immediately insert the USB drive into the computer. Instead, he moved the fingers of both hands and muttered, "I have acquired this hacking technology for so long, I will give it a try today!"
Just in case, Su Chen plans to design a firewall system himself to avoid someone leaving a backdoor on his computer at any time. If any important information is leaked, he will have no place to cry.
He crossed his fingers and held them together for two seconds before releasing them. "Here we go!"
Su Chen's expression suddenly became serious, and a burst of keyboard clacking sounds rang out.
ten minutes!
Half an hour!
One hour!
The keyboard sounds lasted for an hour before finally stopping.
"Done!"
Su Chen pressed the Enter key, and the new firewall system immediately started working.
I waited for almost two minutes before searching the entire computer.
The computer was very clean and no backdoor hidden dangers were found. Su Chen was quite confident in his skills, so he boldly inserted the USB flash drive into the computer.
“This is too incredible!”
When he opened the USB drive, he was shocked by the catalog of water purification technology.
