Chapter 504: Chapter 248: An Invitation After Half a Year

"Mr. Su, I promise I’ll have a huge surprise for you then!"

The main goal for today had been achieved, and with Su Chen’s full support for the new film, Wu Jing had no reason to stay any longer. He said his goodbyes, needing to get back to the company and share the good news with his employees.

After watching Wu Jing’s figure disappear from sight, Su Chen leaned back and summoned the system.

It was already June, and the new blind box had refreshed.

Without a second glance, Su Chen instantly bought the blind box. The price was just a string of numbers to him now. While he hadn’t quite reached the point of saying ’I’m not interested in money, it’s just a bunch of numbers,’ he wasn’t far from it.

The balance in his bank account had already reached eleven figures, and it was on track to break twelve this year!

’System, open the blind box!’

The blind box shook twice, then burst open like a firework. The special effect lasted for about three seconds before Su Chen could see what was inside.

’Ten percent of the shares of Royal Caribbean Cruises?’ Su Chen stared in a daze at the stock certificates and a transparent, crystal-like card in his inventory.

The system also sent Su Chen the relevant information on Royal Caribbean Cruises, giving him a general overview.

Just as he was about to take out the Crystal Card to examine it, his phone, which was sitting on the table, rang.

A look of surprise flickered in Su Chen’s eyes when he saw the caller ID. It seemed they hadn’t contacted each other at all since exchanging numbers. ’It’s been about half a year, hasn’t it?’

Thoughts aside, Su Chen’s hand moved without hesitation, and he tapped the answer button.

"Tianqi, what made you think of giving me a call?" The caller was none other than Yun Tianqi—the very person from whom Su Chen had quietly snatched a lucrative deal.

"What, I’m not allowed to call you?" Yun Tianqi’s hearty laugh came from the other end of the line.

"Haha! Of course not. You can call me anytime," Su Chen responded with a laugh.

Yun Tianqi chuckled on the other end. "Hahaha! You little rascal, you’re just as sly as Xiao Chen said you were!"

"I won’t beat around the bush. This is the perfect time of year to visit Inner Mongolia. We made plans last year, so you can’t flake on me now. See if you can find some time to come hang out!"

Su Chen was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Yun Tianqi to remember something he had said so casually. He was genuinely a little moved.

"Ah, Tianqi, that’s kind of bad timing," Su Chen said apologetically. "I have to head to Singapore in the next couple of days to take care of some things, and I have no idea how long it will take. I probably won’t be back for a while."

Yun Tianqi hadn’t expected his call to come at such an inconvenient time. "No problem, no rush. You can come over after you’ve finished your business!"

Since he’d put it that way, it would be unreasonable for Su Chen to refuse.

"Alright. As soon as I’m done with my business in Singapore, I’ll fly straight to Inner Mongolia to find you."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before Yun Tianqi had to go handle something on his end and hung up.

Su Chen placed his phone on the table. After a moment of thought, he called toward the door, "Chen Fei!"

A moment later, Chen Fei walked in briskly. "Sir, you called for me?"

"Yes. Contact the five men who returned from Irkutsk. Tell them they’re coming with us to Singapore, and remind them to bring their passports and other necessities."

Su Chen was preparing for both overt and covert scenarios for this trip to Singapore, just in case something unexpected happened.

"Understood, sir. When should we depart? I’ll have them come over and be on standby." Chen Fei had no questions about Su Chen’s arrangements. He knew this trip to Singapore was full of unknowns and had no idea what they might encounter.

After a moment of consideration, Su Chen replied, "Have them here by tomorrow morning. We fly to Singapore in the afternoon."

Hearing this, Chen Fei didn’t hesitate for a second. He gave a nod to show he understood and briskly left the room.
