Chapter: 4002

Since tonight's auction will be hosted by Song Wan Ting herself, she has been waiting in this room.

Ye Chen passed by the door of her rest room when the door happened to open, and Song Wan Ting was about to come out, only to run into Ye Chen. Her eyes lit up with surprise and excitement, and she exclaimed, "Master Leaf!"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Wan Ting, how's your preparation going?"

Song Wan Ting fidgeted nervously and said, "Well, the preparations are almost done, but I'm still a bit anxious."

As she spoke, she lightly chuckled and explained, "To be honest, I've never hosted an auction before, and even more so for this time, when most of the attendees are wealthy and knowledgeable people. I'm worried that I won't perform well and will make them laugh at me."

Ye Chen comforted her with a smile, saying, "You don't need to worry at all. Tonight's guests are here to show respect for Rong Chun Dan, so you can just be yourself, regardless of whether your performance is good or bad."

Song Wan Ting lightly nodded and said shyly, "Actually... actually I'm more afraid that I'll fail to impress you, Master Leaf..."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Not at all. Today is our auction's market, as long as Rong Chun Dan is put on display, even if we do a poor job, they might still want to participate next year, so just relax and don't worry about how well or badly you perform!"

Song Wan Ting listened to him say this and her heart's tension was indeed alleviated quite a bit, lightly nodding and saying, "Okay, Master Leaf, Song Wan Ting knows now!"

Ye Chen nodded once, thinking of something, and opened his mouth to say, "Ah, yes, Song Wan Ting, as for this auction, I had originally thought to invite your grandfather as our honored guest, but then I reconsidered - you've just taken over the Song clan group recently, so it's more suitable for you as the new head of the family to come out and showcase yourself. If I were to invite your grandfather again, it would be like showing off in front of others, so I decided against it, don't blame me."

Song Wan Ting had indeed thought about this problem originally.

She didn't intend to scold Ye Chen at all; she just felt that according to Ye Chen's style, when dealing with things, he often considers everything thoroughly - what needs to be taken care of, and even what doesn't need to be taken care of. He usually takes care of it all.

But this time, for some reason, he didn't invite her grandfather or any other notable entrepreneurs like Qin Gang and Wang Zhenggang who are well-connected to him.

However, Ye Chen's explanation immediately made her understand his good intentions.

Originally, she had just taken on the position of head of the family with Ye Chen's support, and as a young person with a short tenure, she naturally couldn't compare to her grandfather in terms of connections, reputation, and influence. If Ye Chen were to invite her grandfather today as an honored guest, it would only widen the gap between them.

This made her feel even more grateful towards Ye Chen, and she couldn't help but open her mouth to say, "Master Leaf, thank you for always considering Song Wan Ting..."

However, Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged as he said sincerely, "I'm not just considering you, there are some other personal thoughts involved."

As he spoke, Ye Chen continued, "From my perspective, aside from having you in mind, I also worry that inviting too many familiar faces will reveal my coordinates."

"Especially those people like Qin Gang, Wang Zhenggong, Hong Wu, and Song Laozi, if I were to invite them all to the VIP seats, anyone with a sharp mind could immediately pinpoint me just by investigating their social connections,"

"So, this time I didn't invite local friends, not just for you but also to better conceal myself."

There are four guests tonight.

Aside from using fake identities like Fei Ke Xin, there's Ye Laozi, Lai Qinghua, and the old queen of Northern Europe.

As for Ye Laozi, Ye Chen felt it was no problem at all. After all, he had just taken up the actual position of family head in the Ye household, but the outside world still saw Ye Laozi as the family head.

This charity auction is co-hosted by the Song and Ye families. The Song family head will act as the auctioneer, while the Ye family head will attend as a VIP guest, which makes sense.

Moreover, Ye Chen felt that having Ye Laozi make an appearance would also be a great opportunity to increase the influence of the Ye family. JrNovels.com
