Chapter 333 - A Successful Person

He decided to catch up on the news.

Su Ming expertly switched to the news channel, tuning into Eastsea City's local broadcast. It was important to stay informed about his hometown.

?”Esteemed musician, conductor, and singer, Madam Wang Fanghua, a three-time Golden Melody Award winner and a leading authority in the national music scene, will soon visit the Eastsea City Symphony Orchestra for a performance,” the news anchor announced.

Su Ming watched attentively, blinking occasionally. He clicked the remote, shifting his focus to international news, acknowledging his limited expertise in music.

?While engrossed in the news, his phone suddenly rang. Su Ming checked the caller ID: President Chen. It dawned on him that he hadn't seen President Chen in some time and wondered what had kept him so occupied. Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

?”President Chen,” Su Ming greeted warmly as he answered.

?”Mr. Su!” came the reply. President Chen stood erect in his office, bending forward slightly, his phone cradled in his hands, his smile radiant. The bank's executives around him acted as if they didn't notice President Chen's demeanor, well aware that Mr. Su was on the line.

“Mr. Su, I've been away on business and haven't seen you for quite a while. I've missed you greatly and have brought back a small gift for you,” President Chen said. “I wanted to deliver it personally, but I'm currently tied up with some urgent matters. However, I'd like you to receive the gift as soon as possible. Are you available now?”

?Su Ming chuckled. So President Chen had been traveling. That explained his absence. And what about Wang Guohui? Had he been traveling as well? Su Ming's hunch was correct. As a multinational corporation's CEO involved in trade, Wang Guohui was abroad, dealing with a business negotiation.

?”Sure, I'll come over now,” Su Ming replied.

“I'll be waiting for you!” President Chen ended the call with enthusiasm and slammed his hand on the desk. “Everyone, prepare to receive Mr. Su.”

“Yes!” the bank staff responded in unison. They quickly organized themselves to greet Su Ming, lining up with impeccable posture. Despite the heat, their anticipation to meet Mr. Su was undeterred.

Yet, Su Ming chose not to call him out on it.

With a grin, he inquired, “Where are you headed? I'm off to the eastern part of the city, though I might not be going exactly where you are.”

“I'm on my way to Tianhua Bank,” the man replied with a smile.

?A look of smug satisfaction crossed his face as he added, “I've got some major business to handle at the bank this time.”

Upon hearing this, Su Ming realized they were headed to the same place.

?He revved up the engine and merged onto the main thoroughfare.

The sight of the self-proclaimed successful man amused him greatly.

“I can spot a successful person when I see one,” Su Ming remarked. “What's the big affair you're attending to at the bank today?”

Little did Su Ming know, his comment had piqued the man's interest immensely.

?He perked up and launched into a narrative of his life's accomplishments, ranging from starting primary school at three to graduating from university at fourteen, followed by six years at a top-tier international university.

He boasted about his myriad patents and the companies he had established.

Su Ming mused that if this man's tall tales could be converted into fuel, his truck wouldn't need refueling for a century.

And if the man's words could fill a room, Su Ming was certain the cab would have burst at the seams long ago.
