Chapter 1168

The thing Ye Chen was most grateful to Xiao Xiao Churan for was that all these years of marriage, she never looked down on his apparent background.

After all, a loser who lost both parents at the age of eight, grew up in an orphanage, only had a high school diploma recognized by the state, and had nothing, almost penniless, would absolutely not be considered a high-quality marriage partner anywhere.

However, this number one beauty of Jin Ling still married him without any complaints, and once married, it had been four years.

During these four years, countless people instigated her and forced her to divorce him, but she never wavered even once.

Just from this point alone, Ye Chen was infinitely grateful to her in his heart.

Recently, Ye Chen also wanted to find an opportunity to confess his background to Xiao Xiao Churan. However, thinking that his parents' deep hatred had not been avenged, and even the cause of his parents' death had not been ascertained, he had always been somewhat hesitant.

Now, the only thing he could identify was an Anti-Ye Alliance.

When his parents were still in Yanjing, the Anti-Ye Alliance did indeed do many things against them. But in his childhood memories, his parents' decision to leave the Ye family was not because of the Anti-Ye Alliance, but because his father, Ye Brother Changying, had a big argument with his grandfather, Ye Zhongquan, over a certain matter.

After that argument, his parents decided to leave the Ye family, and the family of three came to Jin Ling to live the life of ordinary people.

However, not long after arriving in Jin Ling, his parents encountered an accident and passed away.

However, Ye Chen had always firmly believed that his parents' death was by no means an accident; there must have been villains plotting against them behind the scenes.

It's just that he now had no clue as to who killed his parents.

First, he didn't know if the Ye family was a friend or an enemy;

Second, he didn't know what role the Su family played in this matter;

Third, he remembered Tang Tang Sihai saying that his father had offended the Rothschild family, which dominated Europe and America, so he couldn't be sure if it was the Rothschild family that killed his parents.

With wolves in front, tigers behind, and a ferocious giant beast on the other side of the ocean, although Ye Chen now had some strength, he still felt like he was walking on thin ice.

The Ye family, whether overt, covert, hidden, or tucked away, had various assets totaling at least trillions;

The Su family not only had more assets than the Ye family, but their overall strength was also slightly stronger than the Ye family's. Although they had suffered heavy setbacks recently, they still could not be underestimated.

Trillions of RMB sounds like a fantasy, but in fact, looking at the world, family assets of trillions of RMB are nothing at all.

On the global list of the wealthy, the person ranked first is Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, whose personal assets already exceed a trillion when converted to RMB.

Moreover, this is only what is on the surface. No wealthy person would disclose all their assets; what is disclosed is often just the tip of the iceberg.

As for that giant-like Rothschild family, it could already be called wealthy enough to rival a nation.

For a hundred years, there have been countless rumors about the Rothschild family in Europe and North America.

Some say they rule half of Europe, some say not just half of Europe, but even half of the United States is under their control.

They are almost everywhere in Europe and America. The most profitable banks are theirs, the most profitable oil refining enterprises are also theirs, the largest shipping groups are theirs, and even the largest military industrial enterprises are theirs.

The railway transportation that promoted the Industrial Revolution in Europe and America back then was also under the control of this family. As for precious minerals like gold and diamonds, those are their traditional strengths.

A rough estimate is that the entire family's assets are at least in the trillions of US dollars.

In other words, the asset scale of one Rothschild is more than ten times that of the Ye family.

What's more terrifying is that as an old Jewish family, the Rothschilds have great influence in European and American politics. The big shots on Wall Street are almost all Jewish without exception, and the entire lifeline of the United States is almost entirely in their hands. Therefore, such a family can even secretly promote a war between countries!

In front of these families, Ye Chen's current assets and strength are simply not worth mentioning.

If his identity were leaked to the outside world at this time, he didn't know what kind of storm it would stir up.

Under these circumstances, Ye Chen really didn't dare to confide in Xiao Xiao Churan.

He felt that at the very least, he had to wait until he figured out the cause of his parents' death, figured out whether the Ye family was a friend or an enemy, and figured out whether he had a deep hatred for the Rothschild family.

Xiao Xiao Churan didn't know what her husband beside her was thinking about at this moment. While eating fruit, she said with a look of longing: "Hubby, if I can win this project, you won't have so much pressure in the future."

Ye Chen said seriously: "I don't have much pressure myself. I earn money quite easily now, so you don't have to have any pressure either. If this project is too tiring, then don't participate in the bidding. Preparing for the bidding is already so tiring; if you really win this project, I'm afraid it will be even more tiring."

Xiao Xiao Churan smiled: "If it's tiring, then it's tiring. I can't refuse to develop just because I'm afraid of being tired. If the company can grow bigger and stronger, I can delegate a lot of work in the future and focus on management myself. That way, it actually won't be too tiring. The most tiring thing is the studio model, where I am the boss and also an employee, and I have to do everything myself."

Ye Chen nodded in agreement: "That is indeed the case. The most feared thing is having two identities mixed together."

Xiao Xiao Churan smiled slightly and said: "Alright, you don't have to feel heartache for me. I still have to continue drawing here, you go back to the bedroom to rest first."

Ye Chen then said: "Alright, wife, you go ahead and get busy. I won't disturb you. Remember to call me if you need anything."

At the same time, the excited Qin Gang was calling the people Ye Chen wanted to invite one by one.

Among these people, most were his old acquaintances and old friends, so it was very easy to contact them. After calling them one by one and explaining the matter to everyone, everyone was excited beyond measure.

Ye Chen had only given away medicine on a large scale once.

That time, everyone received his favor and obtained a divine medicine in their eyes.

This time, Ye Chen was giving away medicine again, so they were naturally full of joy.

Li Tailai, who was in Haizhou, upon hearing that Ye Chen was hosting a dinner, immediately had Zhao Hao, Ye Chen's little friend from the orphanage, drive him to Jin Ling overnight.

Li Tailai also had quite a few properties in Jin Ling, so he planned to stay in Jin Ling overnight to avoid any unexpected events tomorrow that might delay his schedule.

The reason he attached so much importance to it was mainly because this opportunity was truly too rare in his eyes.

The only one who had not yet received Qin Gang's notification was Wang Wang Dongxue of the Emgrand Group.

It wasn't that Qin Gang had forgotten her, but mainly because Qin Gang didn't have Wang Wang Dongxue's contact information.

Before Ye Chen took over the Emgrand Group, Wang Wang Dongxue had always been the vice-chairwoman of the Emgrand Group.

She was not the young lady of any big family, nor was she a rich second generation with money and power; she was entirely a career woman with very strong capabilities who climbed up step by step on her own.

Therefore, she basically didn't mingle with the so-called upper class in Jin Ling.

Although she knew people like Chen Zekai, Wang Zhenggang, Qin Gang, Wei Liang, and Song Wanting, she had never been very familiar with them.

And people like Chen Zekai and Wang Zhenggang had already formed a small circle around Ye Chen.

People in this small circle all revered Ye Chen as a standard and were respectful to him because they had a very good relationship with Ye Chen and were very clear about Ye Chen's abilities.

So, Qin Gang called Ye Chen and said respectfully: "Master Ye, I have notified almost everyone, and everyone's time is okay. However, only Wang Wang Dongxue, this person has always been very low-key, and I have never had her contact information. Do you think it's convenient for you to give me her phone number?"

Ye Chen then said: "Forget it, I'll call her directly."

After hanging up Qin Gang's phone, Ye Chen called Wang Wang Dongxue.

Once the call connected, Wang Wang Dongxue asked respectfully on the other end: "Chairman, do you have any orders?"

Ye Chen couldn't help but frown slightly. Normally, Wang Wang Dongxue would call him Young Master in private. Now that it was after work hours, why was she calling him Chairman? Could it be that it was inconvenient for her to talk now?

Thinking of this, Ye Chen also said very politely: "Vice-Chairwoman Wang, I would like to ask if you have time tomorrow night? I have a dinner party and would like to invite you to attend."

Wang Wang Dongxue hesitated for a moment and said somewhat apologetically: "Chairman, I am truly sorry, I cannot confirm the time yet. Can I reply to you tomorrow?"

Ye Chen was puzzled in his heart and asked: "Vice-Chairwoman Wang, you haven't encountered any trouble, have you?"

Wang Wang Dongxue said somewhat unnaturally: "Nothing, Chairman, it's just that guests have come to the house to be entertained, so..."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "Alright, then let's contact again tomorrow. If it's inconvenient for you, it doesn't matter. We can make another appointment for another time."
