Chapter: 5876

After entering, Chen Zehai said respectfully, "Young master, when are you planning to return? Why didn't you notify us?"

"That's right, Master Ye!" Hong Wu also hurriedly said. "You should have notified us in advance, so we could go to the airport to pick you up!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "I'm only going to stay for a day this time, and I'll be leaving late at night, so I didn't notify anyone else."

Chen Zehai asked curiously, "Young master, why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the United States," Ye Chen said casually, then asked Chen Zehai, "Old Chen, do you have any understanding of Tang Four Seas?"

As he spoke, Ye Chen subtly released some spiritual energy and gave Chen Zehai a psychological hint to answer honestly.

"Tang Four Seas?" Chen Zehai didn't feel anything unusual, just thought for a moment before answering honestly. "Well, Young master, Tang Four Seas is my direct superior in the Ye family, but since each province, municipality, and overseas has its own representative of the Ye family, I'm just one of hundreds of representatives. The only time I get to see Tang Four Seas is during the annual report meeting, so our interactions are limited."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, seeming to indicate that Chen Zehai and Tang Four Seas were not on the same boat.

Ye Chen then used the same method to ask Hong Wu, "Hong Wu, before you recognized me, did you know Tang Four Seas?"

"No recognition...," Hong Wu shook his head repeatedly, jokingly saying, "Master Ye, I was just a low-ranking old fox in Jinling before I knew you. Even our leader Chen wasn't someone I could reach out to. How much more so would it be for the big boss of the Ye family..."

Ye Chen saw this and relaxed his mind as well.

Subsequently, he said to Chen Zehai, "Old Chen, Tang Four Seas will be temporarily leaving Ye Family for a while. During this time, the position of Ye Family's high-ranking official is vacant. I think you should take over temporarily and fill in for Tang Four Seas' position. Wish Tang Four Seas will return in the future, then you can pass it back to him as his deputy if he doesn't return. If not, you'll stay in this position."

Chen Zehai was astonished and hurriedly said, "Young master... my business has never been outside our province. I've barely managed to figure things out on my own. You're asking me to take over Tang Four Seas' position... I... I don't have the ability for that..."

Ye Chen countered, "Tang Four Seas didn't get where he is overnight either?"

"Yes..." Chen Zehai said awkwardly, "Tang Four Seas took 10-20 years to rise to his current position. My abilities are far inferior to his, and my experience can hardly compare."

Ye Chen waved his hand, "I'm the patriarch of Ye Family, the position of Ye Family's high-ranking official is mine to assign. Whoever I choose will naturally have that qualification. It's up to you to decide if you want to take it or not."

"This...". Chen Zehai suddenly fell into a state of confusion.

To him, Tang Four Seas' position was the theoretical peak of his career.

Originally, he didn't dare to covet the possibility of reaching Tang Four Seas' level.

However, after receiving Ye Chen's recognition and favor, he would sometimes feel that as long as he worked hard and devoted himself to Ye Chen, Ye Chen might give him this opportunity in the future.

"But he never thought that Ye Chen would suddenly give him this stepping-stone opportunity."

"He now only worried about being afraid that his abilities were insufficient to take on the task."

"However, when he saw Ye Chen's resolute gaze, he knew that Ye Chen could make such a decision, not only representing recognition of his own abilities but also trust in his loyalty."

"So, he gritted his teeth and loudly said, 'Master, I am willing to devote myself fully to try it out. If my abilities are insufficient, I will definitely resign at the first time and request your permission!'"

"Ye Chen praised him by saying, 'Don't worry about it. If you can't meet the requirements, I won't favoritism, and I will replace you immediately.'" JrNovels.com
