Chapter 358: Chapter 199: Oh, My Foolish Son

’What a shame... After this stunt from Arthur, Su Chen is definitely on his guard. I’m afraid we won’t get an opportunity like this again.’

Ponte Morgan couldn’t help but sigh at the thought. ’My third son has ambition, but not much. He has ability, but just a little.’

’A classic case of someone more likely to ruin things than to accomplish anything.’

"Alright, you may go. Do what you need to do. As for that Su Chen business..." Ponte Morgan paused, pondering for a moment before continuing, "Let’s set it aside for now. I doubt he’ll be coming back to America anytime soon."

"Yes, Father!" Arthur knew he had failed this family test.

He nodded, dejected, and turned to walk out of the office.

Watching his son’s somewhat lonely, retreating figure, Ponte Morgan shook his head. ’In large financial dynasties like ours, you have to show exceptional talent if you want to rise to the top.’

’If you’re not capable, you should just resign yourself to being a rich playboy, collecting tens to hundreds of millions from the family’s trust fund each year.’

...

The direct flight from New York to Shanghai takes fourteen to fifteen hours, which was actually over an hour shorter than the previous flight to the San Francisco Bay Area.

They landed at Shanghai Hong Bridge Airport at 8:30 a.m. the next day.

"Haaaah... The air back home is so much sweeter!" Su Chen said, stretching as he stepped out of the cabin.

Su Chen had spent two nights in the air, basically sleeping his way back. Although the plane had a specially customized bed, it still couldn’t compare to the feeling of home.

He felt a bit stiff all over, but after getting out of the cabin and moving around, he felt much more refreshed.

"Boss." Just as he got off the plane, a figure walked up to Su Chen’s side and greeted him respectfully.

"Oh? It’s you, Xue Yi. Where’s Pei Rang?"

This figure was none other than the head of security Su Chen had previously assigned to Pei Rang, who was now the security director for Yunmengze Capital.

"Boss, President Pei went to one of the group’s subsidiary companies to arrange some work," Xue Yi reported dutifully.

Su Chen nodded. He knew exactly what Pei Rang was doing at those subsidiaries, so he didn’t press the issue and got straight into the car that was there to pick him up.

Meanwhile, Chen Fei, Wang Gang, and the others following behind Su Chen saw Xue Yi’s handsome, sharp-suited appearance. They each walked up and gave him a friendly punch on the chest, not forgetting to give him a thumbs-up.

Xue Yi took the gestures from Chen Fei, Wang Gang, and the others with a smile. He knew this was just their masculine way of celebrating!

All of this, of course, did not escape Su Chen’s notice, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

His men weren’t resentful that a newcomer seemed to be doing better than them; instead, they offered their sincere congratulations. This was something Su Chen highly approved of.

After the car left the airport, Su Chen looked at Chen Fei in the passenger seat and said, "Ah Fei, take Wang Gang and the others and have some fun in Shanghai for a couple of days before heading back to Zheng Island. Let them relax a little!"

Chen Fei’s face blossomed into a wide smile. He turned sideways and said gratefully, "Sir, on behalf of Wang Gang and the others, thank you!"

"Nothing to thank me for. But while you’re having fun, remember to be careful." Su Chen didn’t forget to give them a word of caution.

Think about it: a few hot-blooded young men, surrounded by other men all year long, finally arrive in a metropolis like Shanghai. It’s only natural they’d want to experience the local... ’customs’.

Of course... all of this went unsaid.

「One Seaview, Underground Garage」

After Su Chen got out of the car, he looked at Chen Fei and the others holding the luggage and said, "You guys don’t need to come up."

With that, he headed for the elevator. Jiang Hui took the luggage from Chen Fei and the others, pulled the suitcases along, and hurried after him, leaving Wang Gang and the rest standing there, stunned.

"Brother Fei, what... what’s going on? Did we do something to displease the boss?" Wang Gang asked anxiously as he watched Su Chen’s figure disappear into the elevator.

Even Chen Qiang and Li Yun looked at Chen Fei nervously. They knew that Su Chen’s impression of them could determine their entire future. Following him around during this time, they had gotten a glimpse of what a top-tier financial magnate’s world was like.

A great family like the Morgans was something they had only ever read about online; they’d never had the chance to see them face-to-face. Being by Su Chen’s side was a life-changing opportunity, and none of them wanted to lose it.

Seeing the changing expressions on the three men’s faces, Chen Fei and Xue Yi glanced at each other and couldn’t help but laugh.

It wasn’t Wang Gang and the other two’s fault. After all, they had been in a different car on the way back, so they naturally didn’t know about Su Chen’s arrangement.

Seeing Chen Fei and Xue Yi laughing, the three, who were already confused, were now even more bewildered.

"Brother Fei, did I say something wrong?" Wang Gang asked uncertainly.

Chen Fei had wanted to tease Wang Gang and the other two for a bit longer, but seeing the nervous looks on their faces, he decided he might as well just tell them the truth.

"Hahaha! Relax, Sir is very satisfied with the three of you. The only reason he told you not to go up is because on the way here, he gave us two days off and told me to take you guys out for some fun in Shanghai."

Hearing this, the three men’s faces lit up, and they all broke into wide, toothy grins.

"Why don’t we get in the car? We can find a hotel to check into first."

The group of five didn’t linger in the underground garage. They got into the Bentley driven by Xue Yi and left One Seaview.
