Chapter 122: Chapter 121: I Believe You (Third Update, Seeking Subscription)

Chen Wan heard that Ye Chen had so many assets and gasped in astonishment.

He was even more respectful and afraid of Ye Chen.

However, Chen Wan was also increasingly grateful that he could rely on Ye Chen.

He was glad he made the right choice back then, otherwise offending Ye Chen would have led to a very miserable outcome.

Wu Peng laughed and said, "By the way, we’re here to inspect Longyun Mountain Villa because we want to build a high-end villa area nearby. Mr. Ye, do you have any suitable construction company recommendations?"

Although Wu Peng was asking Ye Chen, he was actually trying to ingratiate himself with Ye Chen.

High-end villa area?

Upon hearing this, Chen Wan’s face immediately showed excitement.

This is a huge project worth billions, and if their company completes this deal, it will be highly profitable.

Chen Wan looked at Ye Chen and said, "President Ye, you have to put in a good word for me. If you help me get this deal, I, Old Chen, will follow your lead from now on."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "President Wu, what do you think of President Chen’s company?"

Wu Peng laughed and said, "Haha, since it’s a company recommended by President Ye, how could I refuse."

"Alright, it’s settled then."

Chen Wan heard this and felt ecstatic, becoming even more impressed with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen effortlessly sealed a multi-billion dollar deal with just a few words.

What’s more, Wu Peng was the one who proactively offered it.

No wonder he’s such a powerful figure; his influence is truly extraordinary.

...

After the banquet ended, Chen Wan took a deep breath and said to his secretary, "Order that once the villas are built, reserve the king unit for Mr. Ye."

"Yes, President Chen."

Chen Wan took a deep breath again, "Mr. Ye is truly a big shot. With just one word, he got us a multi-billion dollar order. We must get closer to him in the future."

His secretary was also stunned.

"Mr. Ye’s background is so terrifying, but I’m curious why someone as formidable as him always drives for DiDi?"

Chen Wan had a mysterious expression, "Do you understand the art of concealment? Mr. Ye is being low-key; perhaps that’s what makes him a true mogul!"

...

After the gathering ended, Ye Chen returned to Modu for his routine DiDi driving.

Today, he received a call from Li Rongrong.

"Ye Chen, I want to catch a ride with you today. Can you pick me up at Taobao Street?"

Ye Chen nodded and drove to Taobao Street.

Arriving a bit early, Ye Chen directly went to Li Rongrong’s store.

As soon as he entered the store, the staff recognized Ye Chen.

"Mr. Ye, you’re here?"

Ye Chen nodded, "By the way, where’s President Li?"

"President Li is in the office, receiving guests. Should I notify her?"

Ye Chen shook his head, "No need, I’ll have a cup of tea outside and wait for her."

While he was speaking, an elderly lady came into the Treasure House.

"Grandma, are you here to buy something?" a staff member asked.

The old lady shook her head, "I’m not here to buy, I’m here to sell."

"Sell something? Grandma, what do you want to sell?"

The elderly lady took out an incense burner and said, "See how much this is worth."

The staff looked it over and frowned, "Grandma, please wait. This item looks quite old, but I can’t set a price for it. I’ll have our President Li take a look."

Soon, Li Rongrong and a young man came out.

The young man wore a suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and had a proud expression.

Seeing Ye Chen, Li Rongrong paused for a moment, "Ye Chen, you’re here early."

"Yes, I arrived early since I have nothing else to do."

"Who is this?" Kong Xu’s gaze slightly tightened when he saw Ye Chen.

Ye Chen’s appearance was strikingly handsome, particularly the look Li Rongrong gave Ye Chen; her gaze seemed a bit different.

Unconsciously, he felt some hostility toward Ye Chen.

"He’s our Treasure House’s Treasure Appraiser."

"Treasure Appraiser? Rongrong, I know most of the reputable Treasure Appraisers in the industry, this one’s new. You have to be careful; many scammers nowadays pose as Treasure Appraisers to cheat money."

Li Rongrong frowned, "Kong Xu, I don’t need you to dictate who I hire as a Treasure Appraiser."

"Rongrong, I didn’t mean that. If you need a Treasure Appraiser, you can find me. I can appraise treasures for free since I’m from Huaqing University."

Li Rongrong ignored Kong Xu and went to the counter.

"Grandma, is this your incense burner?"

The old lady nodded, "Yes, it has been in our family for many years, since I got married. I don’t know its value, but my husband is sick and urgently needs money, so I brought it to sell."

Kong Xu glanced at the incense burner and said coldly, "Grandma, this is just a regular incense burner, not worth much."

"A regular incense burner?" The old lady’s expression changed slightly.

Li Rongrong took another look but couldn’t discern anything, so she asked, "Grandma, this incense burner is indeed ordinary; we don’t accept it."

Ye Chen walked over at this point, "Grandma, how much do you need for the medical expenses?"

The old lady sighed, "More than five hundred thousand; my husband donated all his salary to children in mountainous areas and now he’s old and sick with no money for treatment."

Ye Chen was deeply moved and said, "Grandma, this incense burner is actually quite valuable. How about offering you one million, are you satisfied?"

"One million?" Li Rongrong and Kong Xu were shocked.

Kong Xu yelled, "Kid, are you crazy? Spending a million on a worthless incense burner?"

Ye Chen said calmly, "Who said it’s worthless? I say it’s worth a million, so it’s worth a million."

Li Rongrong was taken aback; she had looked at the incense burner earlier and noticed nothing special. It was just a common incense burner, and such burners were abundant and worthless.

"Haha, Rongrong, this is the Treasure Appraiser you hired. I was right; be careful not to invite a swindler. I think he’s colluding with this old lady to scam you."

The old lady responded with displeasure, "Young man, watch your words. I don’t know this young man at all. I have been honest all my life and never done anything dishonest. If you don’t want to buy, I’m not selling."

Ye Chen blocked her, "Grandma, we will definitely buy this incense burner."

Then, Ye Chen turned to Li Rongrong, "Rongrong, if you trust me, buy this incense burner. If not, I’ll pay for it myself."

Upon hearing this, Kong Xu quickly said, "Rongrong, don’t believe him; it’s just a regular burner worth less than twenty bucks at a street stall."

Li Rongrong took a deep breath, as if making a significant decision, "Grandma, I’ll buy this incense burner."

"What? Rongrong, have you gone mad?" Kong Xu exclaimed, his face changing dramatically.

Li Rongrong looked at Ye Chen and said sincerely, "Ye Chen, I believe you."
