Chapter 66: The Mysterious Chairman!
Qin Gang respectfully apologized with a smile, "Master Ye, I will never forget your great kindness to the Qin family. Today was a bit rushed, and I didn't have time to prepare. Could I invite Master Ye to gather at the Qin residence tomorrow? I will host a banquet at home to personally entertain you and thank you for your great kindness."
"No need, I have other things to do."
Ye Chen shook his head coldly and said, "Today’s matter was only because I saw that you have done many good deeds. I don't want it to be too high-profile, understand?"
Qin Gang was stunned and nodded repeatedly: "I understand, Master Ye! If you ever need the Qin family in the future, just come find me."
After speaking, he hurriedly handed over a gold-plated business card with his private mobile number on it.
Ye Chen took it without even looking and turned to leave with his father-in-law.
Qin Gang watched until their backs disappeared before glaring fiercely at Qin Aodong and raging, "From now on in Jin Ling, whenever you see Master Ye, you bow and greet him respectfully! Stop causing trouble for me!"
Qin Aodong said aggrievedly, "I didn't know that just going out to buy something would offend a Master..."
Qin Aoxue, standing to the side, looked at Ye Chen’s departing back with a cold face, gritting her teeth.
Although she admired Ye Chen, she was clearly still holding a grudge about him kicking her butt.
For a proud girl, such a thing was simply unforgivable.
Qin Gang sighed and comforted her: "Girl, don't go seeking revenge on Master Ye. Our whole family is counting on him now..."
"Is he really that effective?" Qin Aodong muttered.
Qin Gang scolded, "One more word and I'll break your dog legs!"
Qin Aodong shrank his neck, not daring to say more.
Qin Aoxue stomped her feet resentfully and said, "I know, Dad... I won't provoke him..."
Thinking of how her body still ached faintly, she was so angry she felt uncomfortable all over.
"What a pity..." Qin Gang shook his head and sighed.
Qin Aoxue asked in surprise, "What’s a pity?"
Qin Gang looked at her and said, "It’s a pity that Master Ye is already married. Otherwise, I think you two would be quite a match..."
"Dad! What are you saying!" Qin Aoxue was extremely embarrassed and angry.
On the way back, Xiao Changkun was still full of astonishment.
The dignified head of the Qin family was actually so respectful to his own son-in-law!
"Ye Chen, is what you said to Qin Gang true?"
Xiao Changkun asked suspiciously. His son-in-law was looking more and more like a con artist.
Ye Chen chuckled and said, "Half true, half false. Don't all con artists like to play that game of mystery?"
Xiao Changkun was shocked upon hearing this and scolded in a panic, "Damn, you even dare to con the Qin family, and you took such a valuable bracelet from them. What if they find out later? Don't drag our family down with you!"
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "At worst, we'll just return the bracelet to them. It’s a society ruled by law; they can't kill me, can they?"
Xiao Changkun sighed repeatedly, clearly worried, but after thinking about it carefully, there was no other way. He could only gamble and see; perhaps Ye Chen’s con artistry was actually effective?
After returning home, Ye Chen entered the bedroom and took out the "Peace and Prosperity" stone he had received from Zhang Ermao.
At that very moment, Ye Chen suddenly felt a surge of powerful energy entering his body from the stone.
Ye Chen instantly felt a wave of warmth, and his entire chest and abdomen felt indescribably comfortable.
Soon, layers of cold sweat mixed with black impurities were expelled from his body, and his body felt incredibly light.
A moment later, Ye Chen felt a stream of energy wandering through his body.
This was Qi!
When he looked at the stone again, Ye Chen discovered that the stone had retracted its Qi, appearing just like an ordinary stone.
Ye Chen tried to circulate the cultivation method recorded in the "Nine Profound Heaven Scriptures," but he couldn't extract any more Qi from it.
Ye Chen could only put the stone back into his pocket. His intuition told him this thing was extraordinary, but since he couldn't figure it out now, he would have to wait until his cultivation improved.
Feeling sticky all over, Ye Chen hurriedly went to take a shower. By the time he finished, it was already past 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
His wife, Xiao Churan, called him.
On the phone, Xiao Churan told Ye Chen that she was discussing project details at the Emgrand Group. The BMW 760 that Ye Chen had bought for her, which was modified to look like a 520, was under traffic restrictions today, so she hadn't driven. She wanted Ye Chen to drive his father-in-law’s 530 to pick her up at the Emgrand Group.
When his wife summoned him, Ye Chen naturally had to comply.
So he immediately asked his father-in-law for the car keys and drove to the Emgrand Group.
After arriving downstairs, Ye Chen took out his phone and called Xiao Churan.
Xiao Churan didn't answer, but soon replied with a WeChat message.
"Ye Chen, I'm still in a meeting with the project team. Please wait for me downstairs for a while. Sorry for the trouble."
"Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs."
After replying to Xiao Churan, Ye Chen smoked a cigarette outside the car while waiting.
At this time, Wang Dongxue, the Vice Chairman of the Emgrand Group, called him and asked, "Young Master, have you arrived at the Emgrand Group?"
Ye Chen asked curiously, "How did you know?"
Wang Dongxue said, "I’m in my office, and I can just see your car."
Ye Chen looked up and smiled, "Do you have something to see me about?"
Wang Dongxue said, "The Young Madam is still in a meeting, and it might take a while. So I wanted to ask if you have time. If you do, I’d like to report on recent work to you."
Ye Chen thought about it; he hadn't been managing the Emgrand Group much lately and couldn't remain ignorant of the group's business, so he said, "Alright, wait there, I’m coming up."
Wang Dongxue said, "Then please go directly to your office, and I will come there to report to you."
"Okay."
Hanging up the phone, Ye Chen walked into the building, took the elevator, and headed straight to the top-floor Chairman’s office.
As he stepped out of the elevator and walked toward the office, a door behind him suddenly opened.
Dong Ruolin was planning to go to the restroom, but she didn't expect that as soon as she stepped out, she would see a familiar back.
She didn't recognize that this back was Ye Chen’s; instead, she felt that this back looked very similar to the god-level billionaire on the short video platform!
Could it be that the Chairman she had been wanting to see had finally arrived?
Dong Ruolin became excited immediately!
After all, her fundamental purpose for coming to Jin Ling and the Emgrand Group was to get close to this mysterious Chairman and then strive to become his woman. In this way, the entire Dong family could reach a higher level.
This was the mission the entire family had entrusted to her, and also the family’s hope for her.
However, Dong Ruolin was also very depressed. She had been here for so many days, yet she hadn't even seen the Chairman’s face. How could she develop a long-term relationship with him?
So, seeing the Chairman’s back now, Dong Ruolin was thrilled!
She hurriedly took a few quick steps, following behind Ye Chen, wanting to catch up and greet him, and then introduce herself!
