Chapter 332 Raising the Glass

Just as Su Chen was discussing the current situation with a military general, Sir Philip came over. He had obviously seen Su Chen's performance at the dinner, and his face had a complicated expression.

"Mr. Su, it's great to see you here." Philip said, raising his glass in greeting.

"Sir Philip, I'm glad to see you again." Su Chen responded with a smile, raised his glass and clinked it lightly with Philip's.

"You are really welcome here, Mr. Su." Philip said with a smile, "It seems that your influence is expanding."

Su Chen said modestly: "It's just some ordinary communication, Sir Philip."

Philip nodded, and then whispered: "Mr. Su, regarding the previous cooperation, I think we can discuss it further. Perhaps we can find more common interests."

Su Chen's heart moved, knowing that Philip was hinting at more opportunities for cooperation. He smiled and nodded: "Of course, I also hope that we can further cooperate and develop together."

After the dinner, Su Chen returned to the manor, thinking back to the conversations and details of the dinner. He knew that he had established a firm foothold in this circle, but the road ahead was still full of challenges. He had to be more cautious to gain a foothold in this strange land.

In the following days, Su Chen continued to keep in touch with these dignitaries in various ways. He participated in several important meetings and social events, and gradually established his influence in these circles.

One day, Su Chen received a letter from Edward. The letter mentioned that Edward had a business plan and hoped to cooperate with Su Chen. Su Chen felt a little excited when he saw the letter. He knew that this was an important opportunity to further expand his influence and resources.

He quickly wrote back, expressing his interest and arranging a meeting. A few days later, Su Chen met Edward at a high-end restaurant. The two discussed the business plan in detail, Su Chen made some constructive suggestions, and Edward praised his insights.

"Mr. Su, your suggestion is really great. I believe that our cooperation will be very successful." Edward said excitedly.

Su Chen smiled and nodded: "I also believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to achieve our goals."

Through this cooperation, Su Chen not only made a huge profit, but also established a deep friendship with Edward. Edward's bank has a wide influence in the local area, which provides great help for Su Chen to further expand his power.

At the same time, Su Chen also gained more support and resources in his cooperation with Sir Philip. He used these resources to continuously improve the productivity and economic benefits of the estate and ensure the quality of life and working conditions of the workers.

During this process, Su Chen always maintained his principles and bottom line. He understood that although he needed to build relationships with these powerful people, he must never lose his independence and integrity. He handled every cooperation opportunity carefully to ensure his own interests and the safety of the manor.

As time went by, Su Chen gradually established his influence and reputation in Rochester. He not only won the respect of the nobles and gentry, but also the love and trust of the workers in the manor. Although the road ahead is still full of unknowns, Su Chen knows that as long as he is steadfast and moves forward courageously, he will be able to find his place in this complex world and write his own legend.

On a cold winter night, Su Chen stood on the terrace of the manor, looking at the starry sky, his heart full of hope and determination for the future. He knew that he had a great responsibility, but he also believed that as long as he persisted in his beliefs, he would be able to overcome all difficulties and embrace a brighter future.

Su Chen also completely adapted to life in the British Empire. Not only did he master fluent English and French, he also had a deep understanding of the history, geography, culture and politics here. In this strange land, he gradually found his place, and through unremitting efforts and wisdom, he established his own world.

The reputation of Suchen's estate in Rochester became more and more famous, not only because of its prosperity and beauty, but also because of Suchen's benevolence and wisdom. His generosity and integrity won the love of the workers, while his wisdom and strategy won the respect of the dignitaries.

Every morning, Su Chen would take a walk in the garden of the manor, feeling the tranquility and satisfaction that this land brought him. The garden was full of various flowers and plants, especially the plum blossoms he brought from Longguo, which still bloomed proudly in the cold winter, as if symbolizing Su Chen's indomitable spirit.

Life in the manor was in good order, and every corner revealed Su Chen's care and wisdom. He not only achieved economic success, but also made great contributions to culture and education. He set up a school to provide education for the workers and their children in the manor, so that they could not only master agricultural technology, but also learn cultural knowledge, laying a solid foundation for their future life.

One day, Su Chen was studying the latest report on space-time fluctuations in his study when Old John walked in, looking somewhat excited.

"Sir, there is an important guest who wants to see you," said Old John.

"Who is it?" Su Chen put down the report in his hand and asked.

"It's Earl George Hamilton," replied old John.

Su Chen smiled slightly and nodded, "Please ask him to come in."

Soon after, Earl Hamilton walked into the study with a kind smile on his face. The two of them had established a good relationship through several banquets and cooperation, so it was very natural for them to meet.

"Mr. Su, long time no see." Earl Hamilton said.

"Your Excellency the Earl, welcome." Su Chen responded and asked him to sit down.

After sitting down, Earl Hamilton smiled and said, "Mr. Su, your achievements in Rochester over the past few years are obvious to all. It is really admirable."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Excellency. I can gain a foothold here thanks to everyone's help and support." Su Chen said modestly.

Earl Hamilton nodded, and then said, "Mr. Su, I came here this time because I have an important matter to ask you."

Su Chen motioned for him to continue.

"Recently, we have discovered some unusual activities in the border area and suspect that hostile forces are conducting secret activities. We hope to use your wisdom and strength to help us investigate and solve this problem." Earl Hamilton said.
