Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?

Chapter 163: Chapter 162 Letting Down the Guard

"Young Master,"

Ah Fook pressed the answer button. Since it was the young master’s call, Ah Fook didn’t need to go elsewhere to answer it.

It must have been Su Ruizhi asking for Su Mu on the phone, so Ah Fook replied in kind.

"The young master is with the elder right now."

Hearing Ah Fook’s words, Su Mu and Elder Su exchanged glances.

Su Mu gave Elder Su an understanding look, seeming not to have guessed wrong.

At this time, for his father to be seeking him out and even calling Ah Fook’s mobile phone implied that his father was quite anxious.

It seemed his father was also interested in the plot of land he held.

Su Mu curved his mouth slightly, not in any rush to take the phone from Ah Fook.

His dad hadn’t explicitly said he wanted to speak to him on the phone, had he?

"Alright, young master, I’ll give the mobile phone to the young master right now."

It sounded like Su Ruizhi was telling Ah Fook to pass the mobile phone to Su Mu.

"Young Master, the young master is looking for you."

Ah Fook handed the mobile phone to Su Mu.

Su Mu took it over.

"Dad, what’s up so early in the morning?"

Although he knew full well, Su Mu played his part to perfection.

He adopted a tone that suggested he had no idea what his father could possibly want.

Su Mu felt that he was now a landowner with full confidence.

"You brat, can you really not know what I’m calling you for?"

Su Ruizhi on the other end of the phone was taken aback by Su Mu’s tone.

He hadn’t expected the boy to be able to play it up like this.

His own mobile had received plenty of calls early in the morning.

Su Ruizhi didn’t believe that Ah Fook’s mobile hadn’t received calls from those interested in buying the land from Xiao Mu.

Su Ruizhi knew that the land Xiao Mu had bought was acquired through Ah Fook’s assistance.

If Ah Fook received a call, it only made sense for him to tell Xiao Mu.

"Dad, with all the things you handle every day, how could I guess what you might need from me?"

"Cough cough"

Before Su Ruizhi could say anything else, Elder Su coughed.

Su Mu immediately realized his mistake and moved the phone a bit further away.

"Grandpa, I didn’t mean to insinuate that you are old. I was just showing respect to my dad."

Su Mu felt a bit sheepish; he had been so focused on showing off his verbal prowess that he forgot the real elder in the family was sitting right next to him.

If Su Mu was calling his dad an elder, then what did that make Elder Su?

Elder Su gave Su Mu a stern look, though the smile he couldn’t suppress revealed that he was only putting on a show.

"You rascal, getting a bit too cocky, aren’t you?"

Su Ruizhi on the other end clearly overheard the conversation between Su Mu and Elder Su.

Su Mu had only moved the phone away slightly without covering it, so Su Ruizhi naturally heard everything loud and clear.

Leaning back, Su Ruizhi also started teasing Su Mu.

Bai Xiuping watched her husband and couldn’t help but smile.

Earlier that morning, the nerves of both Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping had been on edge because of the land acquisition.

The news about the Number 5 subway line had been announced so suddenly that it caught everyone off guard.

Initially, when news came out about Huadong City’s application to build the Number 5 subway line, everyone paid close attention.

As time passed, people slowly let their guard down.

They thought such a big move wouldn’t get approval for at least a year or more.

Everybody was indeed caught by surprise that the authorities moved so quickly and finalized everything quietly.

Now that the situation was settled, everybody felt more at ease to joke around.

Primarily, both spouses felt reassured because of the piece of land Su Mu had, which acted as their security.

"Dad, did you specially call just to make fun of me?"

Su Mu felt that at this time, Dad shouldn’t be so free, should he?

Isn’t Su Family Group supposed to be competing with a bunch of companies to buy land right now?

Or had Dad already sorted everything out?

"Xiao Mu, come to the company, and bring the contract for that piece of land you have with you."

Finally, he got to the point.

Su Mu felt that Dad was a bit long-winded. Wouldn’t it be better to get straight to the point from the beginning?

Instead, he had to guess.

Su Mu decided not to guess, no guessing, just not going to guess.

Anyway, the current Su Mu was in no hurry at all, let’s see who can last longer.

"Dad, are you interested in the land I have? Does this mean you’re planning to acquire it?"

Once again asking knowingly, Su Mu’s tone was so sincere, as if he really didn’t understand Dad’s intention.

Elder Su gave Su Mu a look that hinted at him to quit while he was ahead.

Su Mu replied with an OK gesture to his grandfather.

After all, it was his own dad, and he couldn’t go too far, right?

"You little rascal, if I tell you to come to the company, just come, and remember to bring the land contract."

As for Su Mu’s obvious feigned ignorance, Su Ruizhi simply ignored it.

"Got it, Dad, I’ll be right there."

Su Mu hung up the phone and handed it back to Ah Fook.

He stood up

"Grandpa, I’m off to the company now, Dad is waiting for me."

"Still mouthing off,"

The Old Master laughed and waved his hand, signaling Su Mu to go on his way.

Su Mu smiled, not taking his grandfather’s words to heart.

He turned and went back to his room to get the contract.

He had already planned to give the land to his girlfriend’s father.

But a phone call from his own dad had directly canceled that decision.

Su Mu felt that, no matter what, his own dad was dear to him!

"Vroom..."

The imposing sound of the Ferrari 812 started up, and Su Mu drove out of the castle.

"Old Master, the young master has really unique taste!"

Old Master Su and Ah Fook were still in the back garden, and naturally heard the sound of the Ferrari very clearly.

"Xiao Mu has a good eye for business."

Old Master Su nodded affirmatively, recognizing Su Mu’s unique investment insight and outstanding analytical skills.

Old Master Su expressed his great satisfaction.

"The young master must be a rare business prodigy."

Ah Fook said with emotion, completely forgetting that Jiang Maohua on the other end was waiting for a response to this matter.

Thanks to the system’s support, Su Mu had been crowned with the title of a business genius.

It was not just Old Master Su and Ah Fook.

The upper echelons of Huadong City were all talking about the wise move of the young master of the Su Family this time.

Now, Su Mu had been directly given the nickname "President Xiao Su."

Because in everyone’s hearts, Su Mu’s business acumen was considered no less than that of his father, Su Ruizhi, the current helmsman of Su Family Group.

Su Mu drove the Ferrari 812 straight to the entrance of the Su Family Group building.

A security guard rushed over in a hurry.

"Young master, you’ve arrived."

It wasn’t the same guard as last time, but it was very clear that the employees of Su Family Group must have already known that the black Ferrari 812 was Su Mu’s ride.

The guard bent over, waiting for Su Mu to get out of the car, and gently closed the door for him.

Su Mu walked ahead while the guard followed behind.

Those unaware would definitely think this guard was Su Mu’s bodyguard.
