Chapter 1329

In the eyes of Ye Zhongquan, Ye Chen is a standard golden goose.

Setting aside Ye Chen's strength, which is so powerful it borders on the bizarre, the mere fact of the marriage contract between Ye Chen and Gu Qiuyi, along with the Gu family's firm attitude in upholding it, makes Ye Zhongquan yearn for Ye Chen's official return to the Ye family.

Money earned from business is accumulated cent by cent, but if one earns money by marrying a wife, it is possible to gain a family fortune of hundreds of billions or even trillions overnight.

Gu Yanzhong only has one daughter, Gu Qiuyi, so everyone knows that whoever marries Gu Qiuyi is equivalent to inheriting the entire Gu family.

Ye Zhongquan has long wanted to surpass the Su family; if Ye Chen truly bags Gu Qiuyi, then the Ye family's comprehensive strength will inevitably surpass the Su family by a large margin.

Moreover, the Su family is now suffering blow after blow; if Ye Chen can act as a go-between and let the Ye family and the Gu family work together to deal with the Su family, it is very likely they could directly pull the Su family down from the first-place position and trample them down to third.

By then, the Ye family would be first, the Gu family second, and since the Gu family is almost equivalent to the Ye family, that would truly be the moment for the Ye family to reshape its glory!

That is why Ye Zhongquan is so tolerant of Ye Chen in every way; if Ye Chen wants to use his Concorde jet, he can only give it; if Ye Chen wants him to help with entry into Syria, he can only help.

Thus, he immediately mobilized resources and made arrangements, then told Ye Chen: "Chen'er, I have arranged everything. The plane will take off from Yanjing in ten minutes and can land at Jin Ling Airport half an hour after takeoff. By then, you can board directly at Jin Ling Airport and fly non-stop to Lebanon without a moment's delay!"

After hearing this, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the matter of going to Syria is indeed too hasty, and there is currently no news confirming that He Zhichiu has met with an accident, Ye Chen still feels he must go.

It is just that, with this sudden departure for Syria, Ye Chen does not know how to explain it to Xiao Churan.

After thinking it over, he could only use the old excuse of looking at Feng Shui for a client and gave Xiao Churan a call.

At this time, Xiao Churan was still in a meeting at the Dihao Group.

Recently, more than half of her working time has been spent at the Dihao Group.

Because many plans need to be docked with the representatives from the Dihao Group, any needs must be adjusted in a timely manner.

The Dihao Group itself is the largest real estate development group in Jin Ling, and its requirements for project partners have always been very harsh.

Moreover, within the Dihao Group, except for Wang Dongxue who knows Xiao Churan's true identity as the Chairman's wife, no one else knows anything about it.

Therefore, in the eyes of these people, Xiao Churan just won the cooperation with the Dihao Group, and they naturally have strict requirements for their partner.

Xiao Churan received Ye Chen's call and hurriedly went to the restroom. After answering, she asked: "Hubby, why are you calling me at this time? Is something wrong?"

Ye Chen was suddenly a bit conflicted.

In fact, unless it was a last resort, he did not want to lie to Xiao Churan.

But in this kind of matter, he could not tell her the truth no matter what.

It is not just because the situation in Syria is extremely dangerous in the eyes of ordinary people; the reason for going to Syria alone is impossible to explain clearly.

If he told her that the child of his mother's former classmate was about to encounter danger in Syria, he would not be able to answer many of the questions that would be involved.

For example, who was his mother? And who was his mother's classmate?

Furthermore, if his mother's classmate's child met with an accident in Syria, what could he do going there alone and empty-handed? Besides, there isn't even a direct flight, so how would he get there?

Sometimes, if you choose to tell the truth, you must pull out the radish and bring out the mud to confess all key information; otherwise, it is better to fabricate a false reason.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen had to say: "Wife, it's like this: I have a client who wants to invite me to another city to look at the Feng Shui of a house. He happened to take a fancy to a second-hand villa that someone is selling in a hurry. If I look at the Feng Shui and there are no problems, he will buy it directly."

Xiao Churan asked him: "Going to another city? How long will you be gone?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said: "If it's fast, I can be back tomorrow; but if it's slow, it might take two or three days."

Xiao Churan couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Hubby, can this project be turned down? Your birthday is in a few days, and I really don't want you to be as busy as you were before during this time..."

Ye Chen was moved in his heart and said softly: "Good wife, to be honest, I don't want to go out at this time either, but the one looking for me this time is an old client, and I really can't turn him down."

Having said this, he paused slightly and continued: "Wife, how about this: I promise you that after I finish this job, I won't take any new jobs for the next month!"

The reason Ye Chen promised a month is because in about a month, it will be the Qingming Festival, and he will still have to go to Yanjing to attend the ancestor worship ceremony. By then, he will definitely still have to use the excuse of looking at Feng Shui to explain it to Xiao Churan.

Xiao Churan on the other end of the phone finally felt much more relieved when she heard Ye Chen say he wouldn't take any jobs for a month after returning. Her tone carried a hint of coquettishness as she scolded: "This is what you said, oh. If you dare to go out to look at Feng Shui for others within the next month, then I will sleep in a separate room from you!"

When Ye Chen heard this, he agreed without hesitation and blurted out: "Don't worry, wife! I will keep my word!"

Xiao Churan was satisfied then and asked him: "Then when exactly are you leaving?"

Ye Chen said: "I'm leaving directly in a little while."

Xiao Churan couldn't hide her surprise as she asked: "Why are you in such a hurry? I thought you were going to wait until tomorrow to leave."

Ye Chen explained: "The seller of the villa contacted several buyers at the same time. Because the price is relatively cheap, whoever acts first gets it, which is why this old client is in such a hurry and wants me to go over with him today."

Xiao Churan asked curiously: "What kind of client is it? A man or a woman?"

After saying this, she felt that her question was a bit inappropriate and hurriedly explained: "Ye Chen, I was just asking casually, I didn't mean anything else. If you don't want to say, forget it."

Ye Chen laughed: "It's a male client. He is quite famous; he is the General Manager of our Bai Jinhangong Hotel, Chen Zekai."

Xiao Churan had naturally heard of Chen Zekai's big name.

However, she only knew that Chen Zekai was the General Manager of Bai Jinhangong and also knew that Chen Zekai was very influential in Jin Ling, but she did not know Chen Zekai's true background.

So Ye Chen was not afraid to use Chen Zekai as a cover.

Hearing Chen Zekai's name, Xiao Churan exclaimed: "My god, this Chen Zekai is said to be particularly powerful; even the Song family has to give him some face. When did he become your old client?"

Ye Chen deliberately lowered his voice and laughed: "Don't all these rich people in Jin Ling believe in Feng Shui? I had some fame before, so many rich people came here by reputation."

As he said this, he added: "Wife, wait a moment, let me let Chen Zong say a few words to you."

Xiao Churan hurriedly said: "No need, no need, hubby, I was just asking, I didn't mean anything else."

Ye Chen laughed: "Hubby didn't mean anything else either, just wanted to put your mind at ease."

As he said this, he said to Chen Zekai: "Chen Zong, please say a word to my wife."

Chen Zekai hurriedly leaned over and said earnestly: "Mrs. Ye, I am Chen Zekai. It is hard work for Master Ye to accompany me to another city this time, and I hope you don't mind."

Xiao Churan hurriedly said: "Not at all, not at all. I hope everything goes smoothly for you."

Ye Chen said at this time: "Wife, we are about to set off, so I won't talk to you for now."

Xiao Churan hurriedly said: "Then when you are out and about, you must pay attention to safety, and remember to eat on time."

Ye Chen laughed: "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

Xiao Churan then said reluctantly: "Then go, I will continue to work, come back early."

"Okay."

Ye Chen also hung up the phone with some reluctance, then immediately said to Chen Zekai: "Arrange the helicopter, I want to go to the airport!"

PS: Wish everyone a Happy New Year! Good health and happiness to your whole family!
