Chapter 1839: A great good thing

Because she couldn't figure it out, Fei Kexin frowned tightly and didn't speak for a long time, still thinking about the possibility.

Chen Yingshan saw her expression serious and with a bit of confusion, so she couldn't help but ask: "Miss, what do you think of this matter now?"

Fei Kexin sighed, staring at this pile of materials, while rubbing her temples with her slender and tender white jade hands, and said melancholically: "From these materials, counting from the old lady of the Xiao family, one by one, if you add up all their assets, it won't exceed 100 million RMB."

"However, if this Ye Chen is really the client of the Rejuvenation Pill I am looking for, then just one pill of his is probably worth tens of billions of USD!"

"In that case, Ye Chen's strength is hundreds or thousands of times stronger than the Xiao family's, so why would he be a son-in-law of the Xiao family?"

Speaking of this, Fei Kexin added: "Calculated proportionally, it's like a tycoon with a net worth of nearly 10 million, marrying into a poor family whose total assets don't even reach 10,000 yuan. Then I want to know, is he marrying in, or is he going to help the poor?"

"Oh..." Chen Yingshan also nodded repeatedly in agreement: "If it's according to this gap in net worth, the whole Xiao family has to worship Ye Chen as an ancestor, so how can they say Ye Chen is a son-in-law?"

As she spoke, she asked again: "Miss, could it be that we judged wrong from the beginning?"

Fei Kexin pursed her lips, and a firm look suddenly appeared in her eyes, saying in a deep voice: "We focused on this from the side clues all the way, everything matches, there shouldn't be any mistakes!"

"Moreover, Xiao Changkun's medical record is also here. He was indeed paralyzed from the waist down due to a complete spinal cord injury, but he recovered completely in less than a day. This unprecedented medical miracle also really happened!"

"Regardless of whether this Ye Chen is the person we are looking for, I can be sure that Xiao Changkun must have been cured by the person we are looking for!"

Speaking of this, Fei Kexin stood up, her expression and eyes becoming more determined, and said: "This Xiao Changkun's personal resume is very mediocre, basically there is nothing to bring out. If there is no noble person to help him, once such a person has high paraplegia, he can only lie on the bed for the rest of his life, and there is no possibility of recovery. And I have looked through Xiao Changkun's family and connections. Except for this Ye Chen's mysterious background, everyone else is as mediocre as Xiao Changkun, and it is even more impossible to help Xiao Changkun!"

Chen Yingshan hurriedly said: "Miss, this Ye Chen's background is not mysterious at all. All his backgrounds are clear at a glance. Compared with the Xiao family, he is not even mediocre..."

"No," Fei Kexin said seriously, "Ye Chen's life resume before the age of eighteen is almost completely blank. It shows here that he didn't attend a regular elementary school or a regular middle school. His nine-year compulsory education was all received at the welfare institute. This kind of resume is almost equivalent to a blank slate. The more it is like this, the more unfathomable I feel he is."

Speaking of this, Fei Kexin added, "As for why Ye Chen wanted to marry into the Xiao family, to be honest, I haven't figured it out, but I feel that he must have his reasons and justifications!"

Chen Yingshan asked, "Miss, then can you be sure now that the person you are looking for is this Ye Chen?"

"I can be sure!" Fei Kexin said firmly, "If it's not him, then it proves that I was wrong about this matter from beginning to end. But if I had one thing right about this matter from beginning to end, then it must be him!"

Speaking of this, Fei Kexin hurriedly picked up Xiao Changkun's information and said, "This Xiao Changkun is currently the Executive Vice President of the Jin Ling Calligraphy and Painting Association. Check the specific situation of the Jin Ling Calligraphy and Painting Association for me. I want to see if I can find any breakthrough point from this Xiao Changkun!"

Xiao Changkun has been leaving early and returning late for the past few days.

Although the Jin Ling Calligraphy and Painting Association is nominally a professional non-governmental organization, in reality, it also has half an official nature.

Generally speaking, it is a semi-official, semi-civilian people's organization.

If there is no official business that needs to be done, then it is a small group where hobbyists gather.

But if there is an official event, then it will represent the official side to attend.

This time, for the cultural exchange between Jin Ling and its friendly city in South Korea, the Calligraphy and Painting Association naturally became the official friendly representative and exchange envoy.

Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth success of the exchange activities, Xiao Changkun has been following President Pei of the Calligraphy and Painting Association for the past few days, attending various symposiums and meetings in the city.

Although he is very busy, Xiao Changkun has been in high spirits recently.

He has been accustomed to being mediocre all his life and hasn't done anything respectable in fifty years. Now, as the second-in-command of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, attending various formal meetings every day and meeting various leaders and elite figures, he suddenly had the illusion that he was also an elite.

This afternoon, the Calligraphy and Painting Association representatives went to the city again for a meeting. This time, they were to communicate the details of this South Korean exchange with colleagues from the Quyi Association, the Writers Association, and the University for the Elderly.

Attending the meeting were not only Xiao Changkun, representing the Calligraphy and Painting Association, but also Xiao Changkun's first love, Han Meiqing, who was attending on behalf of the University for the Elderly, as well as He Zhiqiu's father, He Yuanjiang, an old classmate of Ye Chen's mother.

Han Meiqing and He Yuanjiang are both PhDs who returned from the United States. Han Meiqing worked in the legal industry in the United States for many years and has extremely rich experience, while He Yuanjiang is an internationally renowned economics expert. Although these two have not been at the University for the Elderly for long, they quickly became the two most prestigious guest professors at the University for the Elderly by virtue of their outstanding abilities.

By comparison, Xiao Changkun was not so eye-catching.

Although he is the Vice President of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, he only knows the basics of the field of calligraphy and painting.

If you really gave him a brush, he couldn't write very good calligraphy or paint very good paintings; it was nothing more than the level of an amateur enthusiast.

There was a great deal of padding when he first entered the Calligraphy and Painting Association as an ordinary member, and now being able to climb to the position of Executive Vice President, the second-in-command, is entirely due to President Pei's constant promotion.

Ever since President Pei witnessed Hong Wu's humility and respect toward Xiao Changkun at Tianxiang Mansion, he has valued Xiao Changkun very much.

Now, for some large public occasions, he will take the initiative to bring Xiao Changkun along to gain some experience.

However, Xiao Changkun really doesn't have any real substance. If he were really allowed to express some opinions in the field of calligraphy and painting, professional personnel would know he is a half-baked amateur as soon as they heard him.

In order to avoid him showing his ignorance on the spot and making a fool of himself, whenever President Pei brings him out to participate in activities, he will instruct him to listen more and speak less, so as not to say too much and make too many mistakes.

Xiao Changkun naturally knows that his level is not great, so whenever he is in this kind of situation, he basically does not express his opinions.

However, also at this exchange meeting, Han Meiqing and He Yuanjiang both shone brightly.

In order to show the demeanor of the elderly in Jin Ling actively improving themselves at the University for the Elderly during this South Korean exchange activity, the two of them worked together to create a set of very professional lecture courseware. The courseware was extremely excellent, and coupled with their extraordinary resumes, everyone present was amazed.

Most of the universities for the elderly in China are actually entertainment centers for the elderly. Retired elderly people go in to learn calligraphy, painting, dancing, or even Tai Chi, or everyone gets together to engage in some cultural and recreational activities; that is basically the entire content of the university for the elderly.

However, Han Meiqing and He Yuanjiang both felt that since it is a university for the elderly, they still need to carefully organize some in-depth teaching courses. Therefore, the two of them invested a lot of energy in the University for the Elderly, organized a group of elderly people with relatively high cultural levels, and made several disciplines quite impressive.

The whole meeting, except for Xiao Changkun who was just nodding along, made him feel quite jealous.

On one hand, he felt inferior because of the huge gap between his level and that of Han Meiqing and He Yuanjiang;

On the other hand, he also felt that Han Meiqing and He Yuanjiang cooperated too closely and matched perfectly, which made him feel like his vinegar jar had been overturned.

As the meeting neared its end, someone suggested that everyone should have dinner together in the evening. Xiao Changkun was still thinking about using the opportunity of eating to have more contact with Han Meiqing, but he didn't expect Han Meiqing to say, "Professor He and I won't be attending the dinner. We have to go back to the University for the Elderly in a while. There is an internal learning experience sharing meeting tonight."

President Pei couldn't help but praise, "Professor Han is really too responsible! You still have to organize a sharing meeting in the evening. Compared with your University for the Elderly, our Calligraphy and Painting Association is really a bit unenterprising!"

Han Meiqing said modestly, "President Pei, please don't say that. The nature of the University for the Elderly and the Calligraphy and Painting Association is different. The Calligraphy and Painting Association is a professional organization composed of professionals, just like a regular army. We are all retired idlers who don't know what to do, so we can only learn more things. When we also become professionals, we will be able to keep up with you!"

Xiao Changkun was also a bit dejected. Since Han Meiqing was not going to attend the dinner, he had no interest in eating with this group of old men, so he said, "Meiqing, why don't I take you to the University for the Elderly? Walking from here happens to be on the way to my house."

Han Meiqing smiled slightly and said politely, "No need, Changkun. I came with Professor He today, and Professor He drove. We happen to be going back together."

"Oh..." Xiao Changkun felt even more lost, and for a moment he didn't know how to continue the conversation.

At this time, President Pei's mobile phone rang. He went out to answer the call, and soon rushed over in high spirits, excitedly saying to Xiao Changkun, "Changkun, let's go! Back to the association! There is a huge piece of good news!"
