As evening approached, Su Chen received a call from his third cousin, Chen Peng. He immediately asked where Su Chen was, insisting on treating him to a meal to properly express his gratitude.
"There's no need for a meal. I'm in Suzhou right now. You should focus on things at the factory for now. We can talk when I come back for the New Year!" Su Chen knew exactly why his cousin was calling—it would just be an endless stream of gratitude.
Chen Peng knew why Su Chen wanted to wait until the New Year. Su Chen wanted to see if he would sink or swim. After all, the path to the processing plant's future had been completely paved for him. If he still couldn't make a profit, he wouldn't have the face to go home for the holiday.
After chatting for a little longer, Su Chen hung up. He had high hopes for Chen Peng—after all, the man had found himself a smart and capable wife.
They say a good wife makes everything easier. He figured he'd see a completely different Chen Peng by the New Year.
