Chapter 3169: Adding bricks and tiles

The Rothschild father and son, who were satisfied with each other, chatted extremely happily on the way to the palace.

The more Howard looked at Steve, the more pleasing he became, constantly sighing in his heart that he had given birth to a sensible and filial son. And Steve, having received his father's approval, was naturally in an incomparably good mood, just hoping to move his position to China as soon as possible to get close to Ye Chen and pull closer the friendship between the two.

In Steve's view, his going to China was definitely beneficial and harmless. Even if he couldn't win Ye Chen's support in inheriting the family, he had a good hope of relying on fawning to get some pills from Ye Chen to eat. It was much better than staying in the United States, being suspected, guarded against, and disgusted by the old man under his nose.

Thus, the father and son each had their own thoughts, but they made the relationship between them return to the harmonious and compatible state when Steve was young.

When the two arrived at the palace, the Royal Guard had already been waiting on both sides of the road inside the palace. Knowing that people like Howard must love face, Helena also arranged the highest courtesy of the Nordic royal family for him.

On the square in front of the main building of the palace, Helena and the old Queen stood side by side. After the Rothschild father and son got off the car, they came to the two and performed the hand-kissing ceremony respectfully.

Howard looked at Helena and said gratefully, "Your Majesty the Queen, thank you for your warm invitation. Being able to come to the Nordic palace to have dinner with you and Mrs. Iliad is the honor of our Rothschild family!"

Helena smiled and said, "Mr. Rothschild is too polite. The two of you are distinguished guests of the Nordic royal family. Being here is just like returning to your own home. Don't be too formal."

After speaking, she said, "The two of you, the banquet is still being prepared and will start in two hours. I will take you to visit the palace first."

Howard said hurriedly, "That would be really great. It is a great honor to have Your Majesty the Queen personally take us to visit!"

Helena nodded lightly, smiled dignifiedly, and then took the father and son to visit starting from the main hall of the palace.

The so-called visit was actually to show goodwill to Howard. Ye Chen wanted to use a two-pronged approach to extract value from the Rothschild father and son separately, so the face that should be given and the benefits that should be given would naturally not be too stingy.

Helena showing goodwill to Howard was the core driving force for Howard to continue to serve Helena.

Steve followed behind his father Howard, accompanying the visit like an obedient quail. During this period, his father and Helena talked constantly, but Steve didn't say much.

His mind was not on visiting the Nordic palace or the Nordic Queen Helena at all. He only thought about whether Ye Chen, who said he was coming to Northern Europe when he was in China, was also in the palace at this moment.

So, taking advantage of Helena introducing the royal art collection to his father Howard, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Ye Chen. The content of the message was: Mr. Ye, are you in Northern Europe?

Ye Chen replied quickly: I am eating in the banquet hall of the Nordic royal family.

Steve was startled and thought to himself: "Why is Ye Chen also in the banquet hall? Could it be that Helena invited me and my father, and also invited Ye Chen? Wouldn't it be awkward if we met?"

Nervous, he hurriedly replied to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, are you going to have dinner with us later?"

Ye Chen replied: "No, I will leave after eating. There is still more than an hour before your dinner starts. You shouldn't be able to see me."

Steve breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Ye Chen didn't intend to meet his father. Since that was the case, he naturally had no psychological burden.

So, he hurriedly asked again: "Mr. Ye, can I go to the banquet hall to meet you? I have something I want to tell you in person."

Ye Chen replied: "You can come if you want."

Steve wanted to see Ye Chen, not only to get close to him but also to tell him about his imminent permanent residency in China.

Seeing that Ye Chen also agreed to meet, he hurriedly said: "Okay, Mr. Ye, please wait a moment, I will be there right away!"

Immediately, he thought for a moment, walked to Helena and Howard, and said: "Excuse me, Your Majesty, may I ask where the restroom is?"

Helena guessed that he must be going to see Ye Chen, so she smiled and said: "You can go to the restroom near the banquet hall. Go through the corridor on the east side of the first floor and walk to the end."

"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty!" Steve bowed respectfully and then whispered to his father: "Father, I'll go first. You and Your Majesty talk first."

"Go ahead." Howard nodded. In his view, Steve was just a foil today, and it didn't matter whether he was there or not, so he didn't take it to heart.

When Steve arrived at the banquet hall, Ye Chen, Lin Wan'er, An Chongqiu, and Li Yalin were sitting at the large dining table eating.

Steve trotted all the way over. Seeing Ye Chen, he quickly put on an excited expression, walked quickly to his side, and said respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Ye! We meet again!"

Ye Chen nodded and introduced him to his second uncle, An Kaifeng, sitting opposite: "Steve, let me introduce you. This is my second uncle, An Kaifeng. You should have met, right?"

Steve naturally knew An Kaifeng, but they had never had any friendship. Seeing him again now, he shook hands enthusiastically: "Hello, Mr. An! We can be considered to have known each other for a long time!"

An Kaifeng smiled and said: "I didn't expect to see Mr. Rothschild here. It is a great honor."

Steve said hurriedly: "Just call me Steve, don't call me Mr. Rothschild, it's too distant. You are Mr. Ye's uncle, and in the future, you will be my good friend. Between good friends, don't be so polite!"

An Kaifeng nodded and smiled: "Okay, Steve, just call me Kaifeng in the future, or call me by my English name, Kevin."

Steve smiled: "My Chinese is good, I'd better call you Kaifeng."

Ye Chen introduced Li Yalin at this time: "Steve, this is Detective Li Yalin. I probably don't need to introduce him, right?"

"No need, no need." Steve smiled: "I live in New York, how could I not have heard of Detective Li's great name! Long admired, long admired!"

After speaking, he took the initiative to reach out to Detective Li to shake hands.

Ye Chen then pointed to Lin Wan'er beside him and introduced: "This is my little sister, named Lin Xiaowan."

Steve saw that Lin Wan'er was full of girlishness, so he didn't think much about it, so he subconsciously wanted to step forward and perform the hand-kissing ceremony. Ye Chen reached out and interrupted him, smiling: "Under eighteen, the hand-kissing ceremony is unnecessary."

Steve didn't feel awkward, immediately withdrew his hand, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Miss Lin to be so young. If there is a chance to go to the United States in the future, I must let Mr. Ye contact me. I will definitely arrange the top reception!"

Lin Wan'er nodded and smiled politely: "Then thank you, Mr. Rothschild."

Ye Chen looked at Steve and asked curiously: "Steve, why don't you accompany your old man to visit, and run here to see me?"

Steve said with difficulty hiding his excitement: "Mr. Ye, I want to tell you that I have reached a consensus with my father to establish a Rothschild family office in mainland China, specifically responsible for the family's investment matters in China. At that time, this family office will be fully responsible by me. I will personally go to China to be in charge of all the business of this office. The family will invest 50 billion US dollars in the first batch to increase investment in China. I plan to set this office in Jin Ling!"

Ye Chen was not surprised by this news. Steve was a smart man. After he came to Jin Ling last time, he must have figured out that he was his noble person now. Developing in Jin Ling in the future was also the best choice for him. Of course, this was also more convenient for him to hold him in his grasp.

So, Ye Chen smiled and said to Steve: "Steve, then I will welcome your arrival on behalf of Jin Ling and the citizens of Jin Ling in advance."

Steve said excitedly: "Please rest assured, Mr. Ye and the people of Jin Ling, I will definitely go all out to add bricks and tiles to the construction of Jin Ling!"

Ye Chen was stunned: "Your phrasing... who did you learn it from?"

Steve smiled and said truthfully: "I have been cramming a lot of Chinese film and television works recently, all reflecting the period of the War of Resistance Against Japan. To be honest, I am deeply moved by the spirit of those Chinese national heroes!"
