Chapter 188 Calling Again!

Towards evening, Su Chen received a call from his third brother Chen Peng, who immediately asked where Su Chen was and wanted to treat him to a meal to thank him.

"No need to have dinner. I'm in Suzhou now. Third brother, you should focus on the things in the factory first. If you have anything to say, we can talk after you go back home after the New Year!" How could Su Chen not know the purpose of his third brother's call, which was nothing more than various words of thanks.

Chen Peng also knew why Su Chen asked him to go home for the New Year. He just wanted to see whether he was a dragon or a worm. After all, the future path of the processing plant has been paved. If he still can't make money, he will not have the face to go home for the New Year.

After the two chatted for a while, Su Chen hung up the phone. He was still very optimistic about Chen Peng. After all, he found a smart and virtuous wife.

It is said that if a family has a good wife, everything will go smoothly. I think during the Chinese New Year, I will see Chen Peng who does not experience this.

"Hey~ I've completed half of the task my mother assigned to me." Su Chen threw his phone aside and stretched.

But when she thought about her older cousin and his two children, her good mood instantly disappeared.

"Old Jiang~" Su Chen leaned on the sofa, pinching his eyebrows and called softly.

Jiang Hui, who was standing by, walked over quickly and said, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

"Have you received any reply to the matter I assigned to you this afternoon?" After Su Chen returned to Zhuyuan, he arranged for Jiang to go back and investigate the whereabouts of his eldest cousin.

"We have investigated it, but the person is no longer in the country. According to the investigation data, he should be in a small country in Southeast Asia, but we are not sure where exactly he is." Jiang Hui said truthfully.

After Su Chen made the arrangements in the afternoon, Jiang Hui contacted Chen Fei and told him the specific information. It took him less than an hour to find the relevant information about his cousin Chen Fan.

"Southeast Asia?" Su Chen was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that he had gone abroad.

With a long sigh, everyone has his own path to follow, maybe Chen Fan will be very successful abroad.

Now all that remains is the matter of my uncle and the two children. Chen Peng had said before that they were planning to return to their hometown, so they should tell their family about this matter first, at least so that they can be mentally prepared.

Thinking of this, I picked up the mobile phone that I had thrown aside and called my mother Chen Shufen.

Perhaps the hotpot restaurant was very busy, the phone rang for thirty seconds before Chen Shufen answered it.

As soon as the call was connected, a roar came from the receiver, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly, the store is very busy now!"

Su Chen rubbed his ears and felt a buzzing sound.

"I mainly want to talk to you about my eldest uncle and my third uncle. The situation is a bit complicated and cannot be explained in a few words. If you are busy, mom, let's talk when you are free!" After Su Chen finished speaking, he was ready to hang up the phone.

Chen Shufen on the other end of the phone was also stunned when she heard this. She knew her son's ability, and hearing him say "things are a bit complicated" meant that this matter was definitely not simple.

Chen Shufang came back to her senses and said quickly, "Wait for me, don't hang up the phone!"

Listening to the dialect coming from the phone, Su Chen knew that his mother was concerned.

Sure enough, there were several noisy voices coming from the phone soon. Su Chen didn't understand what they heard. Maybe someone said that they had to go answer a call or something and asked someone to look after the store.

The noise in the hot pot restaurant soon became much quieter, and after about two minutes, Chen Shufen's voice sounded again.

"Xiaochen, what's going on in your eldest uncle's and third uncle's families? Did something happen?" Chen Shufen's voice was so nervous.

Su Chen could also understand. His mother was the youngest girl in the Chen family. She had been loved by her brothers since she was a child. They had a very good relationship with each other, otherwise she would not have specifically asked Su Chen to help them.

"My third uncle's family is fine. My third brother even opened a mold processing factory. I happened to encounter some problems when I came to visit them, so I helped them deal with it and also found a way for them to follow up."

After saying this, Su Chen paused for a moment, as if giving Chen Shufen time to digest the message.

"As for my uncle's family." Su Chen hesitated.

Chen Shufen on the other end of the phone couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart. Could something have happened in her eldest brother's family?

"Xiao Chen, just tell me what you want to say. I'm worried if you keep telling me this."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen did not waste any time and directly told the whole story.

"Hey~ The matter is very simple. My eldest brother Chen Fan got addicted to online gambling and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. His sister-in-law divorced him. Now both of them have disappeared. The two children are currently living with their eldest uncle."

After Su Chen finished speaking, he consciously moved the phone a little further away.

Sure enough, the next second, a shrill scream came from the phone.

"What did you say? Chen Fan got divorced and the couple disappeared without caring about their children?"

"."

When Chen Shufen had almost finished speaking, Su Chen spoke up, "That's about it. Yesterday I heard from my third brother that my uncle plans to go back to his hometown during this period of time. Mom, you can handle it yourself then."

Chen Shufen was silent for a long time before she said, "Okay, I understand!"

We talked about the latest developments of the hot pot restaurant, and learned from Chen Shufen that more than a dozen branches have been added, even to some districts and counties near the main urban area.

Chen Shufen also told Su Chen a plan, which was that she was going to bring Shufen Hotpot into Chengdu. This was because of the 20 million yuan Su Chen had given her before. With this confidence, she also wanted to turn Shufen Hotpot into a large chain hotpot restaurant.

It is similar to the old hotpot brand like DeZhuang.

Su Chen was also a little surprised when he heard this plan. He didn't expect that his mother had such courage.

Finally, Su Chen gave Chen Shufen a phone number and told her to call him directly if she needed help with anything in Rongcheng, and to call him if he couldn't handle it.

The phone number left was not someone else's, but that of Sicong's good friend Hou Ting.

After explaining everything, Su Chen felt a lot more relaxed.

"The sky is blue and waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you." Su Chen hummed a cheerful song and walked outside with brisk steps.

It is said that there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Su Chen is ready to experience how beautiful the night view of Suzhou is.

"Sir, are you going out?" As soon as I walked into the corridor, I bumped into Jiang Hui. I saw that he was holding a plate of freshly cut fruit in his hand.

"Well, I'll go out for a walk. You don't have to go." He glanced at the fruit plate in Jiang Hui's hand, picked up the toothpick on the edge of the plate, picked up two pieces of honeydew melon, and walked towards the door, muttering
"Eat the fruit plate yourself. You don't have to wait for me at night!" After saying that, Su Chen's figure disappeared from Jiang Hui's sight.

As the sky darkened, the lights of the houses began to light up. Su Chen did not go anywhere else, but went to Tongli Ancient Town, which he had not visited yesterday.

"I didn't expect that Tongli Ancient Town has such a unique flavor at night!" When Su Chen walked into the ancient town, he found that the flow of people was much greater than during the day.

Many people were standing in front of a white wall taking pictures. Su Chen glanced at the words written on the wall: "When you say spring is not too late, I have arrived at the real Jiangnan."

The orange-yellow lights make the entire ancient town seem as bright as day, especially the black-sailed boats swaying left and right on the small river and the ambient lights hanging on both sides, which make many tourists stop to take pictures.

"Mung bean soup, iced Su's mung bean soup!"

“Free flower tea tasting!”

"Sticky dumplings~"

Listening to the hawking sounds coming from various snack shops, Su Chen specially went to buy a cup of Su's mung bean soup.

But when he saw the clerk packing the mung bean soup and handing it to him, he was stunned.

It was not for any other reason, just because the mung bean soup was nothing like what he had imagined.

The clerk handed him two cups in total, one round and one long.

The round cup contained some mung beans, glutinous rice and other things that looked uncooked. The long cup contained light green water, which looked like the water separated from mung bean soup.

"How do I drink this? Do I have to pour the mung bean soup into the mung beans and glutinous rice?" Su Chen looked at the people eating in the restaurant, and there happened to be someone like him who was busy pouring the mung bean soup from a long cup into a round cup.

"Wow, tsk tsk tsk, today I've really opened my eyes. This is how you can drink Su's mung bean soup." Su Chen found an empty table and started to learn how to do it in a very realistic way.

Looking at the distinct grains of mung beans and glutinous rice floating in the cup, Su Chen couldn't help shaking his head.

If he hadn't seen others drinking it, he would have wanted to throw it away. After all, if anyone else saw it, they would have thought that the mung bean soup hadn't even been put into the pot yet.

Su Chen suppressed the strangeness in his heart, took a small sip, and his eyes suddenly widened a lot.

"Hey, this mung bean soup is quite delicious." Su Chen only drank the mung bean soup and did not eat the mung beans and glutinous rice together.

The mung bean soup tastes very refreshing and has a light minty flavor, which is completely different from the mung bean soup he had in mind. Perhaps this is the local specialty of Suzhou.

After drinking the mung bean soup, Su Chen also tasted the mung beans and glutinous rice.
How to put it, it’s edible, but not delicious. Su Chen took one bite and threw the rest into the trash can.

Walking on the stone road of the ancient town, you can occasionally hear lyrical singing and playing from the bar on the opposite bank. Su Chen will stop and listen for a while when he hears something nice.

After strolling along the main road, Su Chen found an open-air cafe, which was right next to the river, where he could drink coffee while admiring the black-sailed boats slowly swaying in the river.

Su Chen hadn't even sat down when his cell phone rang. The international long-distance call seemed familiar to him.

"Isn't this the phone number of the foundation that holds Longteng Technology shares on my behalf? I remember the last time they called, they said a large group wanted to raise funds."

Su Chen thought back and it seemed that when he said he would think about it, it seemed that nearly half a month had passed since he started thinking about it.
"Haha~ I've been letting this one down for a little too long!" Su Chen answered the phone with a smile.

"Mr. Su, I'm sorry to disturb your rest!" As soon as he heard the voice, Su Chen knew it was the same person who called him last time.

"Is there anything wrong?" Su Chen asked in a slightly cold voice. He would never admit that he had forgotten what he had considered before.

"Mr. Su, I'm still wondering what you think about the financing and acquisition of Longteng Technology. Mr. Mark, the head of Longteng Technology, and the people at Morgan are looking forward to your decision."

"Morgan?" When Su Chen heard the name, his originally lazy expression instantly became serious, and he even sat up straighter.

He never imagined that it was the Morgan Consortium that wanted to raise funds to acquire Longteng Technology. It seemed that Longteng Technology's new technology was extraordinary and could attract such a big player to join the market.

Thinking of this, a question popped up in Su Chen's mind: which foundation is holding Longteng Technology shares for him, and how could it withstand Morgan's pressure?

It is said that the business world is like a battlefield. If this foundation had not called him, even Su Chen would have almost forgotten about the shares of Longteng Technology that he owned.

Besides, with Morgan's strength in Bald Eagle, it would be very easy for him to bypass Su Chen, the major shareholder, and acquire Longteng Technology's new technology. However, this did not happen. Instead, he called Su Chen many times to ask for his opinion.

The water here is a bit deep.

"Mr. Su, are you listening?" The voice on the phone brought Su Chen back to his senses.

Su Chen came back to his senses and went straight to the point and asked, "Ah~ I'm listening. What do Morgan and the others think?"

As for why Su Chen asked Morgan what he thought first, it was because Morgan was strong enough. In Su Chen's opinion, the person in charge of Longteng Technology was just a small fry in front of Morgan.

"The person in charge of Morgan hopes to have a face-to-face talk with Mr. Su. You can decide the time and place. Of course, if it is inconvenient for Mr. Su to come forward, you can also entrust it to our foundation to handle it!"

Hearing this, the corners of Su Chen's mouth curled up. He is now becoming more and more interested in Longteng Technology.

"It seems that Longteng Technology's new technology is very popular." Su Chen muttered to himself. He knew that the person on the other end of the phone must have heard it, but unfortunately the other party did not speak, but the breathing sounded obviously heavier.

The smile on Su Chen's face became even wider.

I thought about it and realized that I didn't have any plans recently, so I might as well take this opportunity to visit Bald Eagle.

"The day after tomorrow, I'll fly a bald eagle over then, and we can talk about the details when we meet."

Hearing Su Chen's words, the person on the other side immediately replied: "Okay, Mr. Su, I'll be waiting for you at the Bald Eagle!"

Su Chen hung up the phone with a smile, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. After a long while, Su Chen picked up the coffee in front of him and drank it, but the coffee was only slightly warm at this time.

After this incident, Su Chen did not continue wandering around the ancient town. After drinking a few sips of coffee, he got up and went home.

This is also his first time to go to Bald Eagle, so relevant arrangements must be made in place to avoid any problems that may arise.

You know, the bald eagle is known as Free America and is shot every day. Su Chen doesn't want to experience what it feels like to be shot.

After making three phone calls, Su Chen sat on the sofa and thought quietly for half an hour before he got up and walked towards his bedroom.
