"Mr. Ye, please wait a moment."

Hearing someone call his name, Ye Chen turned his head in surprise.

In the distance, a tall foreign man in his late twenties was seen running quickly toward them.

Ye Chen thought for a moment, realizing he didn't know the man, and then looked at Su Ningshuang and Su Ling'er.

Several girls shook their heads, indicating that they did not know the foreign man.

After running up to Ye Chen, the foreign man immediately began to explain:

“Hello Mr. Ye, I am Adair Webster, a friend of Douglas. I heard from him that you were vacationing in our country, so I came here to pay my respects.”

After listening, Ye Chen understood.

Douglas, Caroline's brother.

It turns out this man was Douglas's friend.

"Mr. Ye, may I ask where you live now?"

Webster asked politely.

"Oh, we're staying at the Hilton Hotel not far away."

Ye Chen spoke.

"Hilton Hotel? That's not befitting your status."

Webster shook his head.

To the average person, Hilton Hotels are impressive five-star hotels, but to the super-rich and aristocratic, Hilton Hotels are slightly less impressive.

"However, we don't have any top-notch hotels here. How about this, Mr. Ye, I have a manor at home. If you don't mind, you can stay there."

Webster extended an exceptionally warm invitation to Ye Chen.

As Douglas's friend, the Webster family was also very powerful.

He also learned about Ye Chen from Douglas and wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to him and become friends.

"Then no need."

Ye Chen politely declined.

"It's still more convenient to stay in your own hotel."

Ye Chen was too lazy to move. Besides, staying at someone else's house was never as comfortable as staying at his own.

"Um?"

Ye Chen's casual reply caused Webster's expression to change drastically.

"No...no..."

Webster wondered to himself why he felt something was off about what Boss Ye had said.

Wait, what did Boss Ye just say? Staying at his own hotel?!

Could it be that the Hilton Hotel here belongs to Mr. Ye?!

"Mr. Ye, when did you buy this Hilton Hotel?"

Webster asked in surprise.

Didn't Douglas say that this was Mr. Ye's first time on vacation? When did you buy the hotel?

"Bought this hotel?"

Ye Chen didn't quite understand why Webster asked that question.

"I didn't buy this hotel."

Ye Chen shook his head.

Ye Chen's answer only made Webster more confused and puzzled.

If they didn't buy this hotel, why is it considered their own?

"Mr. Ye, didn't you say this hotel belonged to your family? How come you're saying you didn't buy it now?"

Webster thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with an answer, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, I bought the entire Hilton International hotel group, not just this one hotel."

Ye Chen answered calmly.

"What?!!!!"

Webster's voice rose several pitches.

"You...you bought the entire Hilton International Hotel Group?!"

"So, you're the owner of Hilton?!"

Webster looked at Ye Chen with an incredulous expression.

"yes."

"I bought it a long time ago."

Ye Chen nodded, not thinking much about becoming the owner of Hilton International Hotel Group.

Hilton Hotels & Resorts' market value is only one or two hundred billion, not even four or five hundred billion. As its owner, he's not that impressive.

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

Webster spat several times.

Hilton Hotels & Resorts is one of the world's top ten hotel groups.

Moreover, Hilton International Hotels Group has been doing very well recently, and its market value seems to have increased significantly. It is very likely that it will move up the international rankings.

But judging from Mr. Ye's calm expression, it seemed that being the owner of Hilton International Hotel Group was something very ordinary and nothing to brag about.

Is this the perspective of a top-tier expert?!

Webster was extremely envious.

Previously, he had only heard from Douglas that Mr. Ye was the CEO of Kering Group, but now he knows that Mr. Ye is also the owner of Hilton Hotels Group.

Mr. Ye is so young, yet he's already the owner of two large international companies?!

Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable!

In an instant, Webster's admiration and respect for Ye Chen grew even stronger.

Afterwards, Webster introduced Ye Chen to some interesting tourist attractions and local delicacies in their country.

The recommendation from a local was quite useful for Ye Chen and his friends when they went out to play.

"By the way, Mr. Ye, there's a highly anticipated exhibition tomorrow. I wonder if you'd be interested in attending?"

Webster suddenly asked.

This exhibition has been promoted for a long time and has attracted the attention of many local tycoons, nobles, and bigwigs.

It's expected to be very popular tomorrow.

What exhibition?

Ye Chen spoke, but he wasn't particularly interested.

"Black Copper Inlaid with Silver Artwork Exhibition"

Webster answered.

"What, black copper inlaid with silver?"

Ye Chen immediately became interested.

Isn't this a project I invested in before?

"By the way, the black copper inlaid with silver seems to be an ancient luxury item from China. I suppose Mr. Ye should know something about it?"

Webster answered.

"I do know."

Ye Chen gave a modest reply.

He knew very little about it. Ye Chen guessed that this exhibition of bronze and silver artworks was probably organized by his own company.

Ye Chen had previously held an exhibition in Shanghai, which was a great success. So Ye Chen had his people start holding exhibitions in other parts of the world to promote and increase the influence and popularity of Wutong Zouyin artworks, and to create a luxury item from China.

I never expected to run into it while traveling abroad.

When and where is the exhibition?

Ye Chen asked.

He became interested. Since he had come across this, Ye Chen decided to go and see how it went, and also to secretly observe how well his subordinates performed.
