"President Ye, you haven't been in Shanghai for very long, have you?"

Qin Zhongye asked.

"Yes, about six months."

Ye Chen nodded.

"President Ye has only been in Shanghai for half a year, but he has already achieved amazing success, snatching the first place in the list of Shanghai's Top Ten Outstanding Young Entrepreneurs that his niece Wei had been longing for. He is indeed extraordinary."

Qin Zhongye began laying the groundwork, preparing to get straight to the point.

Upon hearing Qin Zhongye's words, the others at the table realized that the topic seemed to be getting a bit off.

"By the way, President Ye has been in Shanghai for half a year now. Why haven't I seen him before?"

Qin Zhongye continued chatting with Ye Chen.

"What does President Ye usually do in Shanghai? Does he spend all his time in the office handling business?"

"No, I mainly go to school."

Ye Chen spoke slowly.

Do you mainly go to school?

Ye Chen's answer caught Qin Zhongye and Wei Yudie off guard.

"Going to school? With President Ye's career developing so well, is he still in school?"

Qin Zhongye asked in surprise.

"Of course, I am still a college student who has not yet graduated. At present, studying is my main job and my career is just a side job."

Ye Chen nodded.

Studying is the main job, and career is just a side job?!

He easily won first place among Shanghai's Top Ten Outstanding Young Entrepreneurs, achieving such great success—and this is just a side job?!

Awesome!

"President Ye is terrifyingly powerful."

Qin Zhongye sighed.

This time he was speaking from the bottom of his heart. Back when he was the same age as Ye Chen, he was probably not even one-fifth as good as Ye Chen.

Qin Zhongye was somewhat interested in getting to know and befriend Ye Chen, so he started chatting with Ye Chen again, forgetting the purpose of his visit.

"Uncle Qin..."

Seeing that Uncle Qin and Ye Chen were getting along better and better, Wei Yudie couldn't help but whisper something to Qin Zhongye.

Reminded by Wei Yudie, Qin Zhongye finally remembered the important matter.

Qin Zhongye thought for a moment and then asked specifically:

"I wonder if President Ye has time this weekend? I would like to invite President Ye to my home as a guest."

Qin Zhongye grew to admire Ye Chen more and more. Although he wanted to accomplish what Lao Wei had suggested, Qin Zhongye also did not want to antagonize Ye Chen.

There are too many people here. If I get straight to the point and put pressure on Ye Chen, I might make him lose face and cause him to fall out with me.

So Qin Zhongye wanted to invite Ye Chen to his home for a private chat, so that he could complete the task Lao Wei had given him without making an enemy of Ye Chen.

"weekend?"

"I don't have time this weekend. I might have to go to Hong Kong Island to attend a salon."

Ye Chen shook his head.

Ye Chen received the invitation the day before yesterday.

"That's a real shame."

Qin Zhongye sighed softly. There was nothing he could do but put pressure on Ye Chen here.

Compared to Lao Wei, Ye Chen would definitely side with Lao Wei, since Lao Wei is a member of the Wei family and deserves Ye Chen's respect.

Just as Qin Zhongye was thinking about how to put pressure on Ye Chen, a wealthy man suddenly spoke up:

"Mr. Qin, I heard you were going to Europe to discuss a big business deal, why are you still in Shanghai?"

"Here's the thing, I had arranged with a high-ranking European nobleman to discuss the deal this weekend, but the day before yesterday, he told me he had something to do this week and had to attend a salon in Hong Kong..."

Qin Zhongye answered casually.

But as he was talking, Qin Zhongye fell silent.

Ye Chen just said that he is going to Hong Kong Island to attend a salon gathering, and the nobleman he is going to cooperate with is also going to Hong Kong Island to attend a salon.

Could these two people have attended the same salon?

The time and place are the same.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhongye's heart jumped, and then he asked Ye Chen with utmost seriousness:

"President Ye, is the salon you're going to on Hong Kong Island the Global Silk Card User Salon of Guzi Bank?"

"yes."

Ye Chen nodded slightly.

"Is Mr. Qin also a global Silkcard user of Guzi Bank?"

"Am I not eligible to apply for the Global Silkcard user program at Cushman & Co.?"

Qin Zhongye wore a wry smile.

Becoming a global Silkcard user of GUZ Bank has extremely stringent requirements, and he is not yet qualified.

"Mr. Ye... Mr. Ye is actually a global Silk Card user of Guzi Bank, that's amazing."

Qin Zhongye looked on with a sigh.

His way of addressing Ye Chen changed from the ordinary "President Ye" to the more respectful "Mr. Ye".

The others were equally stunned when they learned that Ye Chen was a global Silkcard user of Guzi Bank.

As for Wei Yudie, she sat there speechless for a long time.

Although she and no one around her were Guzi Bank Global Silk Card users, she was aware of the awesomeness of Guzi Bank Global Silk Card users, and Ye Chen was one of them.

No wonder he was able to easily surpass himself and become number one this year!

Why is such important information not in the information I investigated about Ye Chen? If it were, this whole thing wouldn't have happened today.

"It is well-deserved that Ye Shao was named one of Shanghai's Top Ten Outstanding Young Entrepreneurs this year. I admire him very much."

Wei Yudie took the initiative to toast Ye Chen.

Wei Yudie's attitude changed quickly. After learning Ye Chen's identity, she took the initiative to lower her stance and try to please him.

Although she gave up competing with Ye Chen for first place, getting to know and befriending Ye Chen today was a huge gain for her!

Qin Zhongye understood Wei Yudie's meaning and gave up on pressuring Ye Chen to withdraw voluntarily.

Qin Zhongye also lowered his stance, treating Ye Chen as an equal, no longer putting on airs, and even toasted Ye Chen a few times.

This left the other wealthy people in awe.

For the esteemed CEO Qin Zhongye to toast a twenty-year-old—if word got out, it would likely shake Shanghai to the core!

After dinner, Qin Zhongye and Wei Yudie each added Ye Chen's contact information.

Qin Zhongye personally directed the driver to take Ye Chen back to the Tan Palace Villa, and invited Ye Chen to visit his home when he had time, showing exceptional sincerity.

Ye Chen had just returned to the villa when news about the game arrived.
