Chapter 197 "Farce"

"Sir, why do you look a little unwell? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Just as Chen Fei was about to knock on the door to wake Su Chen up for breakfast, he saw Su Chen walking out of the bedroom with a tired look on his face.

"It's okay, maybe I'm a little too attached to my bed." Su Chen waved his hand calmly.

In fact, the real reason was that when he was sleeping last night, he felt that the whole building was shaking. He wondered if the building would collapse or something like that. He was so worried that he didn't sleep well the whole night.

It was in the second half of the night that I fell asleep in a daze and felt sleepy.

How could Su Chen tell Chen Fei the truth when he asked this? As a boss, he didn't care about his reputation.

They had steak for breakfast. These were some supplies that Raymond had prepared after the house was renovated. Otherwise, they would have had to go out for breakfast today.

Besides, the bald eagle’s breakfast is really hard to get used to, such as bread, milk, fruit and vegetable salad. Su Chen just shook his head when he saw it.

"I didn't expect the scenery here is so nice." Su Chen looked towards Central Park through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The view was so great that he could take in half of Manhattan.

It was so happy to eat and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Of course, this house is good in every way except that the floor is a little higher.

"Sir, Mr. Arthur is calling." At this time, Jiang Hui walked to Su Chen's side with his mobile phone and said respectfully. What's interesting is that Jiang Hui changed into a high-end butler tuxedo, looking a lot more professional than before.

At first glance, he feels like the personal butler of the big boss in the movie.

"So early?" Su Chen muttered, put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his mouth, and then took the phone from Jiang Hui.

He was still mumbling that Arthur wanted to talk to him about something. After answering the call, he realized that Arthur wanted to ask him where he lived, but he forgot to ask because he left in a hurry yesterday.

Su Chen didn't waste any time. After telling him the location of One Central Park, he hung up the phone. After telling Jiang Hui about Arthur's upcoming visit, he continued eating with his knife and fork.

Not knowing whether Arthur was nearby, Su Chen had just finished the steak on the plate when he saw Jiang Hui walking in with Arthur.

"The scenery here is so beautiful. It's such a pleasure to live here!" Arthur couldn't help but exclaimed as soon as he came to the living room.

Su Chen glanced at him and said unhappily, "As the third heir of the Morgan family, what kind of scenery have you not seen?"

"Besides, One Central Park is only worth tens of millions of dollars. It's nothing to you!"

Hearing this, Arthur also showed a bitter smile on his face, "It's not as easy as you say!"

After a long sigh, Arthur told Su Chen about the difficulties of living in a big family.

For top families that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, an outstanding heir is particularly important, which also leads to fierce competition within the family.

Of course, you can also choose to lie down and become a rich second-generation. Your family can give you some shares of world-renowned companies, 3% or 5%, and you can get a portion of the money as dividends from the family fund every year.

Apart from this, there is no other profit income.

Some people say that I should start my own business to make money. Please, if you have the ability, why bother to start your own business? Isn’t such a large family foundation enough to dominate the business world?
Arthur is also a person who is unwilling to be ordinary, but he is not the kind of person who is particularly ambitious. What he is doing now is to show his talents to the older generation of the family. By then, even if he loses in the battle for succession, he can still gain huge benefits.

But if you succeed, it will be different. It's just a few years of hard work. Even if you fail, it is better than giving up at the beginning.

After Arthur's story, the figure of Shulaya emerged in Su Chen's mind. This first choice of heir to the head of the Luwei Group also wanted to be a rich woman who could just lie down and do nothing.

I don’t know whether the successor to the Luwei Group has been chosen yet.

"You came to me so early, you don't want to talk to me about these things, do you?" A gleam of light flashed in Su Chen's eyes. Su Chen was still a little wary of these people from top chaebol families.

There is an old saying that goes, "If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief." Especially if someone is rich, how could they be nice to you for no reason, especially when they are only someone you have met a few times?

If it were Su Chen, he would definitely not be able to do what Arthur did. After all, people's hearts are hidden, and no one knows what bad intentions the other person has in mind or what evil plans they have.

"Of course not. I have a private party today, so I thought of asking you to come along." Arthur said lazily, leaning on the sofa.

"Party?" Su Chen was a little confused. Logically speaking, parties are relatively private. Is it really appropriate to bring an outsider like himself there?

As if he saw Su Chen's confusion, Arthur quickly explained: "It's just a few friends simply drinking tea and chatting."

Su Chen wanted to roll his eyes at Arthur when he heard this. Judging from his Morgan family background, the friends he made were not simple people. They were most likely the young masters or daughters of some family.

After pondering for a moment, Su Chen politely declined Arthur's kindness.

"Forget it. I won't go to the party. It's not appropriate for an outsider like me to go."

"Why not? It's just right for you to go!" Arthur said with certainty.

Then Arthur began to explain that the party he was talking about was not an ordinary party. Just as Su Chen had thought before, they were all from top families, such as the camel family in the Middle East, the daughters and sons of the royal families and nobles of various European countries.

Their gathering has been around for several years. They get together for a while at this time every year with the intention of exchanging interests with each other. To put it bluntly, it is a small trading gathering.

Su Chen's heart moved. Could it be that Arthur invited him to New York before because he wanted him to join this small group?

Although Arthur didn't know how powerful Su Chen's background was, there was one thing he knew for sure, that was Su Chen must have a background in China.

"Could it be that Arthur is eyeing the Chinese market?" A thought instantly flashed through Su Chen's mind, and this thought grew stronger and stronger in his mind.

Considering Arthur's series of actions, Su Chen dared to guarantee that his guess was almost correct.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, none of these top chaebols are simple."

Su Chen couldn't help but sigh. He and Arthur had only met two or three times, but Arthur already had these plans. It seemed that he still had a lot to learn.

Su Chen now became interested in the party that he had not wanted to attend before. He also wanted to see what kind of medicine Arthur was selling.

Pretending to be hesitant, he said, "Well, okay, since you said so, I'll go with you to have a look!"

Originally, Su Chen thought he was going to drive there, but what he didn't expect was that Arthur directly arranged a large helicopter that could carry seven passengers.

Su Chen didn't think much about it and took Raymond and Chen Fei on the helicopter. As for the others, they stayed at home.

When the helicopter flew over Manhattan in New York, Su Chen was also attracted by the city scenery below his feet. He could appreciate the Statue of Liberty standing on the seashore and various skyscrapers reaching into the sky.

Soon Su Chen found that the helicopter was gradually moving away from the bustling New York City, so he asked curiously: "Arthur, where are we going now?"

"Long Island~There's a beach house on Long Island, which is where we gather!"

Su Chen also learned some information about New York last night. He knew that the Long Island mentioned by Arthur was the back garden of New York and the place where countless wealthy people lived. Many large villas were located in the forest.

In terms of environment alone, Long Island can be said to be the best in New York.

Moreover, Long Island is not far from the center of New York City, and even closer to Manhattan. In less than 20 minutes, the vast forest of Long Island appeared in Su Chen's sight. Soon the coastline also appeared in Su Chen's sight. It seemed that they were about to reach the destination, and the helicopter began to slowly lower its altitude.

After about four or five minutes, the helicopter landed steadily on a piece of grass.

Arthur opened the cabin door and walked down first, followed closely by Su Chen.

After getting off the helicopter, Su Chen rubbed his ears. He found that the headset of this helicopter was extremely tight, and it hurt his ears a little.

"Let's go, I think the others should be here!" Arthur said, pointing to a large seaside villa with a unique shape not far away.

Then the group walked towards the beach villa, talking and laughing, but as soon as they reached the door, four masked men ran out of the house, and each of them had a biubiubiu in his hand.

It was also the first time that Su Chen saw such a scene. His heart skipped a beat and he thought it was a trap specially set by Arthur. He became very nervous and he could clearly feel his hairs standing up.

At this time, Raymond and Chen Fei, who were standing behind Su Chen, also protected Su Chen behind them. Especially Raymond, his hand was placed on his waist, ready to pull out the golden Desert Eagle he carried with him at any time.

Raymond was full of contempt for these masked men. He could tell at a glance that these people were not professionals and their fingers were not even on the trigger.

He also noticed that these people were all dressed unusually, wearing top-notch diamond-encrusted watches on their wrists, which was why he did not draw his gun and shoot immediately.

Sure enough, a roar broke the silence the next second.

"Damn it, John and Abdul, what are you playing at? What if you accidentally fire the gun?" Arthur walked towards the two masked men in the lead.

Hearing this, Su Chen, who was hiding behind Raymond, also stuck his head out and looked at the situation at the scene.

The masked men put down their weapons, took off their masks and said with a smile: "Arthur, it's April Fool's Day, so I thought I'd give you something different."

"Please do something interesting, what if..." As he spoke, Arthur suddenly thought of Raymond beside Su Chen. He couldn't help but shudder and quickly turned to look at Su Chen and others behind him.

Seeing Raymond's alert mode, they couldn't help but gasp. If Raymond had fought back, John and the others would not even have the chance to pull the trigger and would have been killed by Raymond.

Su Chen also figured out that these people were the third, fourth, and fifth generations that Arthur mentioned. Thinking about the mysterious actions of these people just now, it seemed a bit normal.

During their previous chat, Raymond also said that their gathering is held on April 1st every year. Su Chen didn't take it seriously at the time and didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Listening to the conversation between Raymond and John, it seemed that many pranks had happened before, but nothing like this time.

"Su Chen, are you okay?" Arthur asked hurriedly.

Su Chen patted Raymond and Chen Fei who were standing in front of him, and the two of them quickly retreated behind Su Chen.

"It's okay~" Su Chen's tone was a little cold. Just now he really thought he was going to face a shooting.

Play is play, joke is joke, but don’t joke with your life. Su Chen doesn’t like such jokes.

Arthur also noticed that Su Chen was unhappy, and it was normal if he thought about it. If it were anyone else who was pointed at with a gun, who would be happy?

This was also Arthur's own fault. He did not give Su Chen any warning in advance and only wanted to chat with Su Chen to promote their relationship.

"Arthur, who is this?" At this time John and others also noticed Su Chen and gathered around him.

"Su Chen, from China!" He turned to look at Su Chen and introduced: "This blond man is called John, from England, and his father is the current Duke of Grosvenor."

"The handsome guy next to me is called Abdul Haq, from the Middle East, and is what people often call a big dog owner."

The other two also had similar backgrounds, both were top European aristocrats, but they were still a little inferior to John and Abdul.

After listening to Arthur's introduction, the coldness on Su Chen's face eased a little. After all, Arthur was so enthusiastic, and he couldn't afford to lose face.

"Hello!" Su Chen briefly got to know everyone.

John and others did not expect that Arthur would bring other friends today. What happened just now was a bit awkward, which made them so enthusiastic when shaking hands with Su Chen.

It also made the little bit of coldness left on Su Chen's face disappear completely.

After everyone got familiar with each other, they walked into the villa, talking and laughing, as if the previous scene had never happened.

After entering the villa, Su Chen discovered that there were quite a few people inside, chatting in groups of three or five with wine glasses in hand.

When they saw Arthur, John and others coming in, they all greeted them with a smile, and when they saw Su Chen, a hint of curiosity flashed in their eyes.

Arthur seemed to have become the center of the crowd, and many people gathered around him. Seeing this, Su Chen took some fruit drinks and found a corner to sit down.

Just when I was eating happily, John came over without me noticing.

Like a natural person, he walked over to Su Chen, sat down next to him, and asked, "Su, you are from China, do you know Ye Feng?"

"Huh? Ye Feng, are you talking about the Ye Feng from Yangcheng?" Su Chen was stunned when he heard the name Ye Feng, and looked at John with some surprise.

But Su Chen soon realized that the Melo Pearl he had caught before was given by Ye Feng to a very powerful old duke in England.

Could it be the Grosvenor family that John belongs to?

"Not only do I know him, we also have a very good relationship with him. He went to England some time ago, saying that he was celebrating the birthday of a certain grand duke. Could it be your family?" Su Chen asked in a puzzled manner.

"Hahaha~ That's right, it's our home!" John laughed very happily. He didn't expect that Su Chen would be Ye Feng's friend.

He had asked just now with the intention of testing the situation. John knew about Ye Feng's family's background in China. The fact that he could become friends with him and knew about the birthday celebration meant that Su Chen's background was not simple either.

Just two simple sentences gave you a basic understanding of Su Chen's background.

With the relationship with Ye Feng, Su Chen was able to completely let go of the previous "farce" and was much happier chatting with everyone.

Su Chen also learned some secret things from John, such as why Arthur was so nice to him. The reason was similar to what he had guessed before, which was because of the huge market behind him.

Both John's family and Abdul's family have established good relations with the country because of some things, and have made a lot of money in recent years.

For some reasons, the Morgan family to which Arthur belongs does not engage in all-round cooperation like the other families. Although it has invested in many companies in the country, it is just investment.

Hearing this information made Su Chen more cautious. He knew that he had to think more about everything and not agree to everything, so as to avoid getting himself into trouble.

"Pa pa pa~" a burst of applause rang out.

Everyone who was chatting stopped and looked at Arthur who was clapping.

"Friends~ It's getting late, it's time to get down to business!"
