Chapter 2934

~12 min read 2,281 words

Steve had his own little schemes.

If he could successfully inherit the position of family head in the future, he would absolutely not take a second-rate family like the Ye family seriously.

Don't look at him as Ye Chen's prisoner now, but once he gets through this difficulty and becomes the family head, he would be an existence that Ye Chen couldn't reach even if he sharpened his head.

By that time, what is the Ye family?

It's just that he only dared to hide such thoughts in his heart and didn't dare to say them out casually.

Thus, he accompanied Ye Chen with a smile and said, "With your words, Mr. Ye, our two families will definitely become each other's most important partners in the future!"

Ye Chen also knew that Steve was just putting on a show, and as for himself, he was acting even more. The phone was still recording. The more pious he appeared, the greater the deterrent power of this video would be for him in the future.

Thus, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh, "I heard your father Howard is over eighty years old this year, right?"

Steve nodded and said, "My father is eighty-four years old this year."

"Eighty-four?" Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh, "Eighty-four is a good age!"

Steve asked curiously, "Why does Mr. Ye say that?"

Ye Chen laughed casually, "Oh, haha, in our China, there is a saying that seventy-three and eighty-four are two hurdles for the elderly, meaning that these two years will be relatively difficult to get through, various disasters and illnesses will be more frequent, and it is easier to pass away. Seeing that it is already the fourth quarter of this year, if luck is good, maybe your father will pass away this year."

"Oh, is that so?" Steve's first reaction was clearly that he was somewhat interested. He couldn't hide his smile and asked quite curiously, "Mr. Ye, is there any scientific basis for this saying?"

Ye Chen waved his hand, "Just folklore, no scientific basis. But for you, or rather for us, at least it is still worth looking forward to, don't you think?"

Steve felt that he had said everything he should and shouldn't have said to Ye Chen, and there was no need to hide anything further. In such a big family, as a crown prince, there is no one who doesn't hope for their old man to die early, and he, Steve, is naturally no exception.

Coupled with the fact that the old man recently caused trouble because of the Four Directions Treasure Pagoda, saying whoever finds it first will be the family heir, Steve naturally hoped in his heart that he could die early, and the sooner the better.

Ye Chen's words happened to hit his heart, so he said with some embarrassment, yet faintly excited, "Then I will borrow Mr. Ye's auspicious words!"

Ye Chen nodded and said with a smile, "Let's wish together, let's wish together!"

After saying that, the two laughed out loud at the same time.

Ye Chen said with some regret, "Oh my, if there were a glass of champagne to celebrate at a time like this, that would be even better."

Royce on the side said hurriedly, "There is! There is champagne! It's in the wine cabinet, I'll go get it!"

As he spoke, he hurried to the wine cabinet and, taking advantage of the dim moonlight outside the window, took out a bottle of champagne and a few glasses.

With a bang, the champagne opened, followed by the crisp sound of three glass cups clinking together.

After a glass of wine, Steve felt significantly more relaxed and happy.

Thus, he began to take the initiative to care about the Four Directions Treasure Pagoda, asking Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye, you just said it would be good if Helena arrived in Canada tonight. Is this possible?"

Ye Chen laughed, "Of course it's possible, I'll arrange it."

After saying that, Ye Chen ended the video recording and called Helena directly.

There is a six-hour time difference between Northern Europe and New York.

Northern Europe, which is further east, is six hours ahead of New York. Although it is not yet dawn in New York, it is already morning in Northern Europe.

Helena was sorting out her itinerary for the next few days with the royal butler when she suddenly received Ye Chen's call, and her whole person was immediately energized.

She couldn't wait to send the butler away, and then excitedly connected Ye Chen's call, her voice filled with the excitement of a young girl in love, "Hello, Mr. Ye!"

Hearing Helena's somewhat excited voice, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a ripple in the depths of his heart. He asked with a smile, "Helena, how have you been lately?"

"Very good." Helena said without hesitation, "Everything is very good, except for that bunch of people in the royal family who are a bit annoying with their nagging every day, but these are all small things."

Ye Chen asked curiously, "You are already the Queen, who dares to nag you randomly?"

Helena sighed and said helplessly, "Mr. Ye, you don't know. Even though I am already the Queen, many things have to follow royal traditions. They are like members of parliament, raising all kinds of trivial questions every day, managing what I wear, what I eat, and also managing who I meet and what I say. The most annoying thing is that they also manage my marriage problems, nagging endlessly in my ears every day, it's simply annoying to death."

Ye Chen asked curiously, "The Queen also has to be forced into marriage by the royal family?"

"More than just forced marriage..." Helena complained, "They now wish they could kidnap a royal prince from another country to marry me. What they worry about most is that the royal bloodline cannot be passed on. But I don't care. If there is really no one to succeed, I will just let the parliament of the upper and lower houses of Northern Europe directly abolish the constitutional monarchy after I die."

Ye Chen laughed, "It's best not to tell others about this idea of yours, otherwise you will be called rebellious."

Helena said coquettishly, "I know, Mr. Ye. I will only say such things to you."

Ye Chen smiled and asked her, "By the way, I heard you are visiting Canada next week?"

"Yes." Helena said, "It's a state visit arranged by the Nordic government. Actually, there is nothing practical to talk about. It's mainly to show up and strengthen the interaction between the two countries in terms of public opinion and the people."

Ye Chen asked, "Is it possible to move the time up a bit?"

"Move it up?" Helena asked curiously, "Why does Mr. Ye ask this? Are you going to Canada recently?"

Ye Chen didn't hide it from her and said straight, "I encountered a little trouble in the United States and need to pass through Canada to return to China. If you can come to Canada as soon as possible, I can get away."

Upon hearing this, Helena didn't ask about the specific situation and said without hesitation, "Sir, rest assured, I will definitely do my best to strive to set off for Canada as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

As she spoke, she checked the time and added, "Mr. Ye, please wait a moment, I will go and confirm with them."

Generally speaking, for diplomatic visits, the time is set very strictly, after all, it involves the schedule arrangements of both sides as well as security preparations and other issues. It is not so easy to change the time.

However, Helena's situation is special now.

Although she is a national monarch in terms of treatment level, in reality, she is mainly the identity of Northern Europe's number one mascot.

Coupled with the fact that she is not here to talk about anything important, but mainly to show her face, walk around among the people, and gain some goodwill for both sides, she won't take up too much time and energy of the Canadian high-level officials, so it won't be that troublesome to adjust.

Moreover, this time Helena's visit to Canada is considered to be Canada rushing to invite her. Even the itinerary and route are very respectful of her personal wishes, so she has much more initiative in this matter.

The reason why Helena has such great initiative is mainly because she has several major advantages.

The first advantage is that her appearance is too high. Looking at the entire European royal family group, no one can compare to her. Even the goddesses with the highest appearance in Hollywood over the years are not inferior to any of them;

The second advantage is that she is young, upward, full of positive energy, and has a healthy and sunny temperament.

Looking at the European and American celebrity circles, who doesn't have a bit of dark history?

Drug users, adulterers, promiscuous people, violent people, prisoners, and even those who have been in the underworld. I dare not say that the entire European and American upper class is a nest of snakes and rats, but at least they are all-encompassing.

But Helena is different.

She was born into a royal family and received an aristocratic education when she was young. By the time everyone else reached the rebellious age and began to ruin themselves, her parents passed away one after another, so she had to be cautious to fight for limited living space in the cruel royal family.

This also means that she hasn't even had a rebellious phase.

When other princesses were in their rebellious phase, they were all dating, going to nightclubs, smoking cigarettes, or even taking marijuana, but only Helena did not get involved in any bad habits, and she is still a virgin to this day.

Such an impeccable positive image can even withstand the scrutiny of those pedantic moralists.

Such a girl is rare not only in the royal family but also in the entire European and American upper class, so Helena is deeply loved by fans of all ages.

Needless to say, young people like her, and middle-aged and elderly people also like her, feeling that if they had a daughter, she should be as generous, perfect, and self-improving as her. And needless to say, children like her even more. Every child has a fairy tale dream of princes and princesses. Liking Helena is much more realistic than liking Princess Elsa. Moreover, children liking Helena will also be greatly recognized by their parents, who feel that this is the most positive and worthy idol in today's society.

It can be said that Helena's ability to stack buffs is no less than the super influence of a minority ethnic group in the United States who also has gender identity disorder and is extremely passionate about environmental protection and advocates vegetarianism and is a cross-dressing homosexual.

And precisely because of these buffs constantly stacking on her, Helena is extremely popular in the eyes of the general public.

In today's internet world, among the ten internet celebrities with the highest traffic, monsters and ghosts already occupy eight. Having a clear stream like Helena is simply a blessing for the whole world.

Therefore, Helena has long been a top-tier celebrity on a global scale, so countries in Europe and America are also urgently hoping to invite her to interact in their countries.

To put it bluntly, it is to rub off on her traffic and popularity among the people.

Her visit to Canada this time was also something that the Canadian government invited several times and scheduled several times before it was her turn.

In order to let Helena come to Canada, the Canadian government even quietly brought out preferential policies for Northern Europe in trade, which can be considered full of sincerity.

Since it was Canada rushing to invite her, Helena adjusting the time temporarily will also have relatively more initiative.

Even though it wasn't dawn in Canada at this time, the official specifically responsible for Helena's visit to Canada, after receiving the royal family's temporary notice, reported this matter to the highest level as an emergency for the first time.

Helena did not explicitly say that she wanted to come to Canada early. She only told the Canadian side that she had some minor problems in her physical examination, and the royal doctor arranged for her to receive treatment next week. Then she gave Canada a choice: either she comes early, or she can only postpone it until next year.

The Canadian side naturally didn't want to miss this good opportunity to rub off on traffic and gain goodwill, so after a brief discussion, they immediately agreed to Helena's request to change the time.

Thus, Helena immediately called Ye Chen back. Once the call was connected, she excitedly said to Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye, I have already communicated with the Canadian government. They agreed to my request to visit early. In three hours, when it is 7:00 AM local time in Canada, the Nordic royal family and the Canadian government will announce it to the outside world at the same time!"

Ye Chen was happy and asked her hurriedly, "Then when are you setting off for Canada?"

Helena said excitedly, "I have already had the flight crew prepare. The royal family and diplomatic personnel are still making relevant preparations. We can take off in four hours at the earliest!"

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her, "Thank you, Helena. You really helped me a big favor this time!"
