Chapter: 6397

As the ancient Chinese saying goes, "既來之則安之" - one should learn to adapt when things happen. So, he planned to find a way to settle down in this boat.

After all, whether or not he could become the clan leader depended almost entirely on Leaf Chen's whim.

He didn't want that to be his fate; all he needed was for Helena to occasionally promote some elixirs to their father, and he would basically be able to sit on the throne until death.

So, whether or not I could become the clan leader, or even if I would live a long life, all depends on Leaf Chen's intention.

Since that's the case, why not just follow him and get along?

If I want to follow him, I should first show some sincerity, personally invest in Jinling, it's a good way for one person and their money to come together.

Leaf Chen saw Steve's expression and laughed, saying, "Jinling is a great place for individuals with spiritual energy. Since Mr. Roschilde plans to invest in Jinling, as a Jinling native, I naturally welcome him warmly."

Steve was worried that Leaf Chen wouldn't want to take him along, but now that he has expressed his welcome, Steve let out a sigh of relief and said without hesitation, "With Mr. Ye's words, I feel at ease!"

Leaf Chen nodded slightly, picked up the nearly empty bottle of white wine, took out a bloodstone pellet in front of Steve, and then put the medicine into the wine bottle.

The dark brown medicine dissolved instantly upon entering the wine, coloring the liquid to a pale grayish color.

Steve was taken aback, thinking, "Is this... is this for me to drink?"

Just then, Leaf Chen picked up his cup and poured some wine for Zhou Liang, and then added a little more to Steve's cup.

Steve saw that Leaf Chen had poured almost two-thirds of the wine into Zhou Liang's cup and about one-fifth into his own, quickly said, "Leaf... Mr. Ye... I can still drink a bit more..."

Leaf Chen smiled and said, "Steve, although this medicinal wine is good, don't overdo it, okay?"

After saying that, he poured the remaining liquid into his own cup.

Steve's eyes grew hungry, but he didn't dare say anything more, as this half was also a waste; at this moment, showing greed would likely offend Leaf Chen.

So, he politely said, "Thank you, Mr. Ye, thank you, Mr. Ye!"

Zhou Liangyun also spoke in a tone of surprise and gratitude, saying, "Mr. Ye... This... is truly too grateful!"

Leaf Chen smiled indifferently and opened his mouth to say, "Uncle Zhou, we don't need to be so formal between us. Let's just drink this cup together, considering it an early welcome for Steve to Jinling. After he becomes the highest foreign investor in Jinling, we'll have contributed our share to driving external investment for the country and Jinling."

Zhou Liangyun nodded heavily, lifted his wine cup, and said, "Then let's welcome Steve to Jinling ahead of time!"

Steve hurriedly lifted his wine cup with both hands, shouting, "You two don't need to worry! I'll do my best!"

After saying that, he immediately looked at Leaf Chen, as Leaf Chen had given him the medicinal wine, and Leaf Chen wouldn't say anything unless Steve didn't dare drink it directly.

Leaf Chen was smiling as he lifted his wine cup and said, "Come, let's drink!"

Steve quickly lifted his wine cup, finished the cup of fiery wine in one gulp.

As soon as he took a sip, he felt a stark difference from earlier! JrNovels.com
