Chapter: 6209
Steve hurriedly replied with great respect, "Mr. Ye, I was thinking that it's probably afternoon in Hua Xia right now, and making this call won't disturb you."
Ye Chen nodded and asked him, "Do you have something to ask me about?"
Steve smiled apologetically and said, "Well, Mr. Ye, my father has just told me to go to Hua Xia to take care of some business. I'll be leaving in a few hours. I was thinking that maybe you're also in Hua Xia, so I wanted to ask if it's convenient for me to pay a visit..."
"Pay a visit to me?" Ye Chen laughed. "We've already discussed our cooperation, haven't we? Just do well and don't bother coming to see me."
Steve hurriedly said, "Mr. Ye, my loyalty to you is absolute. You're like a lighthouse in my mind. If I don't get to see you when I'm in Hua Xia, I'll be very regretful..."
Ye Chen knew that Steve wanted to meet him, and he was definitely trying to gauge his mood and get an idea of how long his father might live.
Although Ye Chen didn't really want to see him, he was still the second-in-command of the Rosschilder family, so he couldn't help but tolerate it. If he didn't see Steve, Steve would probably be disappointed and lose his enthusiasm. What if Steve thought that Ye Chen had no chance of taking over in this lifetime? Then wouldn't that mean losing his value as a means to an end?
"So, he opened his mouth and said, 'Since you've come from afar, I naturally have to express my hospitality. Tell me your purpose for this trip to Hua Xia and your personal schedule, and I'll arrange it.'"
Steve's ears perked up at this point, and he quickly said, "Mr. Ye, I'm going to Jingling to take care of some matters, but that's not important. You tell me where you are, and after I land in Jingling, I'll head over to see you as soon as possible!"
Ye Chen curiously asked, "You're going to Jingling?"
"Yes," Steve said. "My father told me to go to Jingling to take care of some matters. If I don't stop by Jingling first, I'm afraid I'll be questioned. But please give me an address, and after I land in Jingling, I'll go see you!"
Ye Chen laughed and said, "What a coincidence! I'm also in Jingling. When are you coming? I'll pick you up and give you a warm welcome."
Steve naturally felt flattered at the thought of being picked up and was extremely grateful, saying repeatedly, "Mr. Ye, you're busy with a thousand matters yet still have time to see me, it's truly too wonderful!"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "We're all good friends, no need to be so polite. How many hours do you plan on arriving in Yanyjing?"
Steve thought for a moment and said respectfully, "To Mr. Ye, I'll take off again in a few hours. The flight is expected to last about 15 hours, and after landing, I'll arrive around tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock."
"Ye Chen said, 'Alright then, I'll set up a reception at the most famous Tianshang Fuzhu in Jinling tomorrow afternoon. You can ask your people to find their way around, and when you arrive, just come straight over.'"
"The Rockefeller family may not have anyone stationed in Jinling, but their Greater China headquarters is located in Yanyjing and has a high level of staff and resources. Steve had already notified the administrative personnel there ahead of time, so they would prepare people and vehicles to serve him when he arrives."
"It just so happens that the arrival time is close to lunchtime, so it makes sense for me to go see Ye Chen right away and grab some lunch too. Steve thought this was a very reasonable arrangement, so he happily said, 'Alright then, Mr. Ye, I'll head straight to your Tianshang Fuzhu after getting out of the airport!'"
"Ye Chen smiled and said, 'Okay then, we'll see each other tomorrow.'"
"Steve politely said, 'Alright then, Mr. Ye, see you tomorrow!'"
"After hanging up the phone, Steve was overjoyed and couldn't believe it. He thought that Ye Chen might not even agree to meet with him, but instead asked him to come for lunch. This was clearly a friendly gesture, and he felt like this trip to China was off to a great start."
"His wife was busy packing his simple luggage next to him, saw him finish the call, and quickly whispered to him, 'Honey, that guy Ye is asking you to have lunch?'"
"Steve was startled, glared at her, and said in a nasty tone, 'What nonsense? That's Mr. Ye!'"
"His wife sneered, 'What's wrong with that guy ruining your good thing? You're still sticking up for him? Are you from Stockholm or something?'"
"Steve spoke in a low voice, saying, 'You don't understand anything! Mr. Ye has connections and abilities that are unmatched. As my husband, I'm no match for him. I didn't tell you before, but if someone wants to kill me after Old Master dies, I'd rather irritate the President than anger him!'" JrNovels.com
