Chapter 820: A Match Made in Heaven

The Guangyuan Tea House was divided into a front courtyard, a middle courtyard, and a backyard, all of which were typical antique wooden buildings. There was also a stage inside, where people often performed crosstalk or Peking opera.

The front courtyard and the middle courtyard were open to the public, and members of the tea house could consume there, but the backyard was not open to the public. This was Tang Sihai's private territory, and the confidentiality was extremely high.

Tang Sihai respectfully invited Ye Chen and Gu Qiuyi into the private reception room in the backyard.

After entering, Tang Sihai immediately dismissed all service personnel and personally invited Ye Chen and Gu Qiuyi to sit on the sofa, while personally brewing a pot of tea for the two of them with his precious Jianzhan tea set.

Handing the fragrant tea cups to the two of them, Tang Sihai could not hide his excitement as he said, "Young Master, I really didn't expect you to come to Yan Jing, and you are with Miss Gu..."

Tang Sihai had actually been hoping that Ye Chen would be willing to come back, and he had also been hoping that Ye Chen would be able to get together with Gu Qiuyi.

He had been in Yan Jing for many years and was very knowledgeable about the situation of the Ye family and other major families in Yan Jing.

Based on his grasp of the situation of all the major families in Yan Jing, he felt that the best choice for Ye Chen was to divorce his current wife, leave the small city of Jin Ling, come to Yan Jing, take back his identity as the Ye family's second young master, and then openly marry Gu Qiuyi.

In Tang Sihai's view, there was no one in this world more suitable for Ye Chen than Gu Qiuyi; they were simply a match made in heaven.

This was not only because Ye Chen and Gu Qiuyi originally had an engagement, but also because Gu Yanzhong was a man of great righteousness, and their family of three were all people who valued affection and righteousness.

More importantly, the Gu family's strength was extraordinary, and they only had one daughter. If Ye Chen married Gu Qiuyi, it would be equivalent to bringing half of the Gu Group under his own control.

In that way, Ye Chen would not only be the Ye family's second young master but also the Gu family's son-in-law, and no one in Yan Jing would be able to compare to him.

Therefore, seeing Ye Chen and Gu Qiuyi together now, he was extremely excited.

Ye Chen said indifferently at this time, "I came to Yan Jing this time mainly to see Uncle Gu. His health wasn't very good a while ago, so I came to see him."

Tang Sihai was shocked and blurted out, "Young Master, Chairman Gu was seriously ill and suddenly recovered, and he looks much younger on TV. This must be your help behind the scenes, right?"

Tang Sihai had never stopped paying attention to Ye Chen. Although he didn't know about many things, he had heard about Ye Chen being revered as a master in Jin Ling, knowing that this second young master had some skills that ordinary people did not have.

Facing Tang Sihai's question, Ye Chen smiled slightly, nodded gently, and said, "I also obtained a good medicine by chance, so I rushed over to give it to Uncle Gu to take. Fortunately, the effect of that good medicine is quite good."

Tang Sihai trembled all over and sighed, "Young Master, the effect of your good medicine is more than just good! It can simply be described as miraculous! I have lived for so many years and have never heard of any medicine that can cure late-stage pancreatic cancer. From this, it can be seen that your good medicine is definitely worthy of being called a divine medicine!"

Ye Chen nodded noncommittally, looked at Tang Sihai, and said seriously, "Steward Tang, I have also prepared a portion of this good medicine for you. If you need it in the future, I will definitely deliver it to your hands."

Ye Chen had the Rejuvenating Pill on him.

If it were really necessary, he could take it out and give it to Tang Sihai at any time.

But the reason he said he would wait until Tang Sihai needed it was that he wanted to use the Rejuvenating Pill to increase Tang Sihai's reliability.

It was not that he doubted Tang Sihai, but he felt that under any circumstances, being a little cautious was never wrong.

With the Rejuvenating Pill hanging over Tang Sihai, Tang Sihai's loyalty to him would inevitably increase.

When Tang Sihai heard this, his expression froze, and he immediately bowed in thanks, "Young Master, with your words, I would have no regrets even if I had to go through fire and water!"

Tang Sihai was not only a loyal person but also a smart person.

Although he didn't know what the Rejuvenating Pill was, he could also glimpse a thing or two through Gu Yanzhong's performance.

First, the good medicine Ye Chen mentioned must be a divine medicine that could cure all diseases. Even a serious illness like late-stage pancreatic cancer, which had a mortality rate of almost 100%, could be cured, so there might be no disease in this world that it couldn't cure.

Second, the state Gu Yanzhong showed on TV was even better than when he was healthy, which proved that this good medicine could not only cure diseases but also prolong life.

With these two effects, it could almost be called a treasure of the world.

And now, Ye Chen actually promised to prepare a portion for him, which not only made him excited but also moved him immensely.

Ye Chen nodded gently and asked Tang Sihai, "Steward Tang, I came to see you this time because I want to know the details of my parents being forced to leave and being murdered back then. Do you have any more clues? For example, who exactly is the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Tang Sihai hesitated for a moment and said, "Young Master, the one your father offended on the surface back then was the Rothschild family, which had dominated the West for many years, but in reality, the ones he offended were all the families in Yan Jing."

Ye Chen frowned and asked him, "Why would my father offend all the families in Yan Jing?"

Tang Sihai sighed and said, "Back then, under the wave of opening up the market economy, your father was the first to lead the Ye family to engage in cross-border finance and trade. At that time, many major families in the country knew nothing about the overseas financial market. What everyone knew was very traditional physical trade, such as exporting some domestic products to overseas and then importing some products back to the country. This kind of cross-border trade is the most basic; our ancestors had been doing this since the Tang and Song Dynasties. Even during the Song Dynasty, our country became the world's largest country in foreign trade. Quanzhou Port, one or two thousand years ago, could be said to be the busiest trading port in the world..."

Speaking of this, Tang Sihai sighed and said, "However, until your father was young, our domestic entrepreneurs' foreign trade was not much different from the Tang and Song Dynasties, with no technical content. But the Europeans and Americans had already played cross-border finance to perfection. Stocks, futures, oil, gold, private equity funds, hedge funds, venture capital—these were all the housekeeping skills of Europe and America back then..."

"When Asian countries were still relying on the things produced by workers working hard to exchange for money overseas, and accumulating little by little, their hedge funds directly brought a large amount of hot money and ran to Asia to ravage it. Not only could they cause a financial storm, but they could also legally snatch away the fruits of labor of Asian countries for several years, or even decades, causing a country's finance to collapse, the stock market to collapse, and the property market to collapse..."

"Back then, the Rothschild family aimed their blood-sucking target at the major families in the country. When everyone could only be slaughtered, it was your father who stood up, organized all the major families in Yan Jing, and cooperated to resist the Rothschild family, finally making the Rothschild family retreat in defeat, not daring to come to China for ten years..."

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but frown, "According to what you said, these families in Yan Jing should be grateful to my father. Why did my father offend them?" ===== CHAPTER 821 =====
