Su Chen felt it was acceptable to win a supercar himself, but he couldn't accept receiving a car from someone else because of his brother-in-law's connection. Besides, who knew if this guy would then seek benefits from his brother-in-law because of it.
In an instant, Su Chen thought of many things.
Seeing Su Chen refuse, Chen Shenglong was not surprised. After all, he was the younger brother-in-law of the Lin family's young master; what could he possibly lack that he would need this car?
"I wonder if Mr. Su's visit this time is regarding my daughter..."
Pulling Su Chen to sit on a nearby sofa, Chen Shenglong leaned in and spoke softly in Su Chen's ear.
He really couldn't imagine any other reason for Su Chen to be there. Was it truly for the competition prize? The Lin family's young master wouldn't be interested in such a small thing.
He had just heard the news that Su Chen had been watching his daughter for quite some time from the audience.
These two really had some interesting thoughts. Su Chen was guessing why he was invited, while Chen Shenglong was guessing why Su Chen came to them.
My daughter?
Su Chen was stunned, then understood. This guy must have thought he was interested in his daughter.
At this moment, Su Chen understood that the other party sought him out because of his brother-in-law's connection, and seemed to have thoughts of currying favor, otherwise, he wouldn't have treated him so warmly.
Su Chen shook his head and said.
"Uh... Mr. Chen, I do have something to discuss with you this time, but it's not about your... your daughter."
He had merely found the Chen family's young lady on stage familiar; he had no other intentions.
"What is it, just say it."
Chen Shenglong raised an eyebrow, adopting a look of knowing but not revealing.
"Do you guys have a shop opposite汤臣一品..."
Su Chen stated his purpose. Upon hearing it, Chen Shenglong sized Su Chen up. Seeing Su Chen's sincere gaze, he felt a bit disappointed.
So he really just came to discuss a shop.
He beckoned his secretary, who whispered a few words into Chen Shenglong's ear.
Chen Ruilong then nodded.
"We do have a shop there, what are Mr. Su's intentions...?"
After hearing Su Chen's request, Chen Shenglong agreed without hesitation and gave it to him. It was just a shop; what was it compared to establishing a connection with the Lin family? Chen Shenglong didn't care at all.
Su Chen definitely refused to accept it as a gift and insisted on paying. After discussing with Chen Shenglong for a long time, Chen Shenglong reluctantly offered a half-price, loss-making deal.
After buying the shop, Su Chen's task was considered complete.
Su Chen had initially worried that the money he earned from streaming wouldn't be enough, but he didn't expect to save some. The remaining money would be just enough for renovation.
Next, Chen Shenglong exchanged some pleasantries with Su Chen. After a round of pleasantries, Su Chen prepared to take his leave.
"Xiao Zhang, tell Qianqian to come out and see Mr. Su off."
Before Su Chen left, Chen Shenglong called his secretary to fetch his daughter. Su Chen was young, about the same age as his daughter. If they met a few more times, perhaps something could come of it.
Even though Su Chen wasn't the Lin family's brother-in-law yet, according to external rumors, this was almost a certainty.
If his daughter could win over the Lin family's young master's brother-in-law, it would be considered establishing a connection with the Lin family.
"No need."
Hearing that Chen Shenglong wanted someone to see him off, Su Chen quickly refused. He had only come to discuss business, and Chen Shenglong's enthusiasm made him a little nervous.
"Little brother Su, there's no need to be nervous."
Chen Shenglong smiled and said nothing.
From beginning to end, Chen Shenglong felt very approachable to Su Chen, though Su Chen understood the reason behind it.
Soon, the Chen family's young lady, Chen Qianqian, walked over from not far away.
Chen Qianqian was very beautiful, dressed in an expensive evening gown. Her fair and smooth face, delicate features, and overall demeanor exuded the气质 of a young lady from a good family. Standing next to Su Chen, they seemed somewhat out of place.
"Mr. Su, please."
It was the first time he had walked with such a beautiful and elegant woman, and Su Chen's palms began to sweat slightly.
He was, after all, a newcomer fresh out of school.
At this moment, seeing Chen Qianqian's true appearance up close, he suddenly realized. He remembered seeing Chen Qianqian in the audience during the competition.
"Mr. Su, my father tends to speak nonsense. Please don't take it to heart."
On the way, Chen Qianqian brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and spoke to Su Chen in a soft, gentle tone.
"Uh, it's fine."
Su Chen indicated that he didn't mind.
She was the leader of his brother-in-law's fan club; why was she here instead of going to Australia to watch the competition?
Chen Qianqian escorted Su Chen to the door, bid him farewell, and then left.
Returning to the office.
"Qianqian, what do you think of that young man just now? He's the younger brother-in-law of the young master you like from the Lin family."
"Dad, look at what you're saying!"
Sitting down on a chair, Chen Qianqian said speechlessly. She now realized that her father would go to any lengths to establish a connection with the Lin family.
Chen Shenglong organized his thoughts. It seemed a bit off.
"Hehe, daughter, Dad has no choice. You have such a good connection and you're not using it; Dad has no choice but to resort to these unconventional methods."
Chen Qianqian held her forehead. Fortunately, Su Chen seemed honest enough, otherwise, her father might have sold her off.
She liked Lin Shen; what kind of a thing was it to find a boyfriend who was Lin Shen's younger brother-in-law?
Her father was as unreliable as her second uncle.
Chen Shengping: .....
At first, Chen Shenglong thought it was great that his daughter had organized a large fan club for Lin Shen, thinking it might help establish some connection with the Lin family. He didn't expect his daughter to have such a good connection and not use it at all.
The Chen family was a mid-tier power in Shanghai, while the Lin family was a top-tier existence throughout China. If they could connect with the Lin family, the Chen family would also reach the level of Shanghai's high-society families. The gap was considerable, and Chen Shenglong couldn't help but be tempted.
Chen Qianqian had no feelings for Su Chen. The person she liked had to be the world's top racer, someone as skilled, handsome, and capable as Lin Shen.
What a pity! Lin Shen was taken.
Thinking of this, Chen Qianqian sighed.
After leaving the office, Chen Qianqian went to attend to her own matters. She had been too busy these past few days, otherwise, she wouldn't have been unable to spare the time to watch her idol's competition.
Fortunately, her family had a racetrack where she could still get her fill of excitement.
After coming out of the racetrack, Chen Shengping was already waiting at the entrance.
"Young man, how was it? What did the boss of the Chen family say to you?"
"He didn't say much. I didn't realize, uncle, that you are the second patriarch of the Chen family."
Su Chen had already learned of Chen Shengping's identity from the secretary. He couldn't believe that this uncle driving a van had such a high status.
"Ah, let's not talk about that. I don't have much real power in the Chen family; it's just a name. I don't care for it."
