Chapter 1380: Are you feeling unwell

When He Yuanjiang heard He Zhiqiu's words, his whole body was shocked.

When he saw He Zhiqiu's face, he shouted in horror, "Zhiqiu?! Is it really you?!"

Although He Zhiqiu was standing right in front of him, deep in his heart, He Yuanjiang still couldn't believe that the woman in front of him was really his daughter.

Because he firmly believed in his heart that his daughter must still be in Syria.

There was no possibility that would make her suddenly appear in front of him.

Especially since he had just talked to Ye Chen, and even Ye Chen hadn't seen her yet.

Moreover, the United States hadn't sent anyone to rescue her, so the Syrian opposition armed forces that had kidnapped his daughter had absolutely no possibility of letting her go.

To take a step back, even if the Syrian opposition really showed mercy, it was impossible for her to appear in Jin Ling so quickly.

Therefore, at this moment, he thought time had gone wrong. He was confused and didn't know how to respond.

Seeing her father, He Zhiqiu was originally very excited and very fortunate, but for some reason, after her father didn't recognize her, she suddenly felt a bit unhappy.

So, she looked at He Yuanjiang angrily and complained, "A living person is standing in front of you, and you still don't believe it?"

He Yuanjiang hurriedly said, "Believe, I believe... but... but how did you get to Jin Ling?! This... this is impossible!"

He Zhiqiu shook her head helplessly, turned to look at Ye Chen who was standing against the wall, and said to her father, "Well, you can ask him how I got to Jin Ling."

He Yuanjiang stood inside the door frame, not knowing at all that there was someone hiding against the wall outside the door.

He hurriedly poked his head out to look. Just then, Ye Chen also took off his mask and met his eyes.

Seeing the shock and doubt in He Yuanjiang's eyes, Ye Chen smiled and waved his hand, "Hi, Uncle He."

"Ye Chen?!" He Yuanjiang was even more dumbfounded and hurriedly asked, "This... what is going on?!"

Ye Chen asked with a smile, "Can we go in and talk?"

He Yuanjiang then came back to his senses and said excitedly, "Quick, quick, quick, come in!"

Ye Chen and He Zhiqiu entered He Yuanjiang's office together, and He Yuanjiang pulled He Zhiqiu and him to sit on the sofa.

Ye Chen shook the mask in his hand and laughed at himself, "It seems this thing of mine is useless."

He Yuanjiang said impatiently, "Oh my, tell me quickly, what is going on! Didn't you just say that she was in Syria? Are you two lying to me together?"

Ye Chen smiled, "I just wanted to give you a surprise!"

He Yuanjiang hurriedly said, "Surprise! It is indeed a surprise! This is truly a huge surprise!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly asked again, "Tell me quickly, how did you two come back? How did you come back after such a short time? Was the process smooth?"

Ye Chen smiled, "It wasn't very smooth at first, but it quickly became very smooth. I happened to meet the commander of the opposition over there and made friends with him. The other party was quite straightforward, so he let Zhiqiu go."

He Yuanjiang hurriedly looked at He Zhiqiu on the side and asked, "Zhiqiu, you didn't suffer any grievances over there, right?"

He Zhiqiu adjusted her sitting posture and said somewhat awkwardly, "They locked us in a cellar. At first, they really wanted to kill us, but fortunately, Mr. Ye rescued us in time. Otherwise, I'm afraid we would have been executed one by one..."

He Yuanjiang said to Ye Chen with immense gratitude, "Ye Chen, you were able to bring Zhiqiu back safe and sound. Uncle really owes you a life! From now on, Uncle's old life is yours. If you ask Uncle to do anything, and Uncle dares to hesitate even a little, may heaven strike me with five thunders!"

Ye Chen hurriedly said, "It's not that serious, Uncle He. This was just a small effort for me. Besides, you are a good friend of my mother's, so it's only right for me to help you!"

Hearing this, He Zhiqiu exclaimed, "Dad! Is Mr. Ye the son of that Auntie An you often talk about?!"

"Yes!" He Yuanjiang nodded and said, "He is the only son of your Auntie An, Ye Chen!"

He Zhiqiu's eyes shone, and she said to Ye Chen excitedly, "Mr. Ye, to tell you the truth, your mother is the biggest idol of my life! It was after learning about her deeds that I decided to go to Stanford. And at Stanford, I learned more about your mother's deeds. My admiration for her is beyond words..."

Ye Chen couldn't help but be a bit surprised. He didn't expect He Zhiqiu to know so much about his mother.

This also made Ye Chen feel ashamed in his heart.

He knew very little about his mother's affairs, even less than an outsider. This was indeed something he hadn't done well enough. Otherwise, he should have found a way to learn about his mother's life long ago.

At this time, He Yuanjiang looked at He Zhiqiu and said seriously and earnestly, "Zhiqiu, I have already promised Ye Chen that after he rescues you, you will be responsible for Ye Chen's ocean shipping business, while I will serve as a consultant, providing you with all the help I can behind the scenes. So, now that you have returned to the country safely, you must never run around again. Stay in Jin Ling and work hard. Let our father and daughter work together, no matter what, we must help Ye Chen build this business!"

He Zhiqiu nodded and said without hesitation, "Dad, you can rest assured about this. I have already promised Mr. Ye..."

As she spoke, she hurriedly added, "I'm actually most worried about my own ability... The experience in Syria this time made me realize that I really have great deficiencies in all aspects, especially in judging people. I was a bit too optimistic, so I'm worried that I won't be competent..."

Ye Chen said at this time, "Ms. He, you don't need to worry about this. What we are doing is legitimate business, relying on financial strength, planning, resources, channels, and connections, not on intrigue. So you just need to operate the company, sort out the business, and connect the resources clearly. The rest will naturally fall into place."

After saying this, he added, "Look, whether it's Bill Gates of Microsoft, Larry Page of Google, or Elon Musk of Tesla, they all started with computer technology, commonly known as coders. They might not be very good at judging people, and they might not understand intrigue very well, but what they truly understand is technology, the market, and how to use their technology to make products that best meet market needs. So as long as they can do what they are best at, they can succeed. You are the same!"

"Mr. Ye, since you've said so, I will definitely go all out and do my best not to let you down!"

Hearing this, He Zhiqiu's originally nervous and uncertain heart indeed felt much more relaxed.

However, while her heart was relieved, her body couldn't be.

Because she was sitting on the sofa, she felt that her upper body was being squeezed tighter by the ill-fitting intimate clothing, which even made her a bit unable to breathe.

He Yuanjiang noticed his daughter's unnaturalness and couldn't help but ask, "Zhiqiu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" ===== CHAPTER 1381 =====
