Only then did Ye Chen come to his senses. When someone asked him a question, Ye Chen subconsciously answered:

"Nothing, I was just thinking about whether I should buy the Amanyangyun or one of the old houses in it."

According to Su Ningshuang's father's previous intentions, these old houses in Amanyangyun could be bought and sold.

Ye Chen's words shocked everyone present.

Even Su Ningshuang's father hadn't guessed this answer, let alone Xie Yanbo and Qi Gaojin.

"Young people these days are really arrogant and ignorant."

Qi Gaojin spoke helplessly.

At first, he was quite interested in Ye Chen and even had a slight appreciation for him. At such a young age, he was calm and composed when he met him. He was more impressive than his peers in terms of his composure.

But after hearing Ye Chen say this, Qi Gaojin's slightest admiration for Ye Chen vanished completely.

It seems I was overthinking things.

This young man is completely ignorant of his own limitations and is arrogant and conceited.

He arrogantly asked whether he should buy the entire Amanyangyun or just one of the old houses within it.

This is absolutely a huge joke.

You have to understand that even he rents this old house number 11. Naturally, he also wants to buy it, but Amanyangyun doesn't sell it to anyone, and he doesn't qualify to buy it yet.

Even he couldn't afford the old house at Amanyangyun, let alone this young man.

As for Ye Chen's claim of buying Amanyangyun, that's even more arrogant.

Let's not even talk about whether you have that much money or not. Even if you do, do you have the connections?

Even if you have connections, are they big enough to get the developer of Amanyangyun—Aman Group—to agree to sell to you?!

That's absolutely impossible.

When Qi Gaojin looked at Ye Chen again, his face was icy cold.

"Hahahaha, are you trying to make me laugh to death?"

Xie Yanbo burst into laughter.

"Is this what your Su family's future son-in-law is like?"

"Is he an idiot?!"

Although he wasn't from Shanghai, Xie Yanbo still knew a little about the power of Amanyangyun.

This young man, around twenty years old, wants to buy an old house here? Dream on.

Faced with Xie Yanbo's questioning, Ye Chen shook his head helplessly.

Just now, Ye Chen had already thought of two ways to buy Amanyangyun, or an old house within Amanyangyun.

The first approach was to contact people within the Hilton International Hotel Group and, through Hilton's network, get in touch with the Aman Group.

As fellow professionals in the hotel industry, Hilton's top executives must know Aman Group.

Given Ye Chen's current status as a shareholder of Hilton International Hotel Group, the other party will definitely consider it; the rest is up to him to use his financial power.

The second option is through the First Royal Bank of the Oil Country. Ye Chen is a black card holder of the First Royal Bank of the Oil Country, which allows them to contact the Aman Group.

All you need to do is pay.

These are just two methods Ye Chen could think of in a short time. If he had more time, he would have even more ideas.

Ye Chen still has a considerable network of connections.

Moreover, these methods do not include the most important one: the "3,000 RMB monthly salary, I am the world's richest man" game.

If the game's marketplace has it, or if you issue a challenge to yourself, then taking down Amanyangyun, or the top-tier ancient mansions here, is a piece of cake, incredibly easy.

"You are not welcome here, you should leave."

Qi Gaojin waved to Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang's father, signaling them to leave.

If Ye Chen hadn't been so arrogant and ignorant, and if I had admired him, I might have let the two of them in to have a chat with the Su family.

But now that we know Ye Chen is an unreliable and arrogant person, there's no need to continue.

"Get out of here, Mr. Qi doesn't welcome you!"

Xie Yanbo, taking advantage of the situation, sternly rebuked him.

As he spoke, Xie Yanbo looked at Su Ningshuang's father provocatively, his eyes seeming to say, "You and the Su family are both defeated opponents."

Just as Qi Gaojin was about to turn around and go home, someone passing by called out to him.

"Mr. Ye?"

She was an elegant and well-maintained middle-aged lady.

Upon seeing this middle-aged noblewoman, Qi Gaojin's eyes widened immediately, and he froze on the spot.

Ye Chen was also slightly taken aback.

He felt that the middle-aged noblewoman looked slightly familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before, perhaps only once or twice, so Ye Chen did not have a deep impression of her.

"Mr. Ye, we've met before at my house, at Villa No. 5, Tan Palace..."

The lady explained.

Villa No. 5, Tangong?!

Xie Yanbo, who hadn't paid any attention before, was stunned when he heard this.

At first glance, he didn't think much of this middle-aged lady, but when she said that her home was No. 5, Tan Palace, Xie Yanbo was dumbfounded.

This middle-aged lady is a very important person!

Villa No. 5 in Tan Palace, that's where Old Zhou, Ye Chen's neighbor, lives.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen suddenly realized that the middle-aged noblewoman was Old Zhou's daughter, whom he had met once when he visited Old Zhou's home.

"Hello, Mr. Ye."

The middle-aged lady stepped forward and politely shook hands with Ye Chen.

When she first met Ye Chen, she was very cold towards him, but after chatting with her father in private and being reminded by him, the middle-aged noblewoman guessed that Ye Chen was very capable.

She thought to herself that she should be more enthusiastic when she saw Ye Chen next time, so as not to leave a bad impression on him.

When Zhou Ya Hui took the initiative to shake hands with Ye Chen, Qi Gao Jin, who was standing next to her, almost popped his eyes out.

That's not right.

Why was Zhou Ya Hui so polite to this arrogant young man?

He was politely addressed as "Mr. Ye" and was given a handshake.

This is not normal, it's very abnormal!

Zhou Ya Hui is Old Master Zhou's daughter. Even he usually addresses her with utmost respect as President Zhou.

Zhou Ya Hui's attitude towards Ye Chen was the exact opposite of her own.

Qi Gaojin was stunned, and Xie Yanbo next to him was also completely blank.

"Hello."

Ye Chen and Zhou Ya Hui shook hands.

"What are you doing here, Mr. Ye?"

"Besides Villa No. 6 at the Tang Palace, does Mr. Ye also have a residence at Amanyangyun?"

Zhou Ya Hui asked curiously.

Zhou Ya Hui asked the question casually and didn't think much of it, but to Qi Gao Jin and Xie Yan Bo, it was like a thunderclap!
