Meanwhile, while Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang were on their way, in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel not far from Jinxiu Mingyuan.
Gao Yongtai, who came from the capital on special orders from Young Master Ye, was explaining things to a new underling.
Although his girlfriend begged him to come to Zhonghai Province, Ye Shao still gave him two instructions before he came.
One of the things to do was to visit a prominent figure who was living in seclusion in Zhonghai Province.
The second thing was to secretly obtain that patent for new energy vehicles.
Now, Gao Yongtai's task is to complete the second task.
Young Master Ye specifically instructed that this matter must be handled with utmost secrecy.
He must never let anyone know that he was the one standing at the very back.
As for the reason, it's very simple: Young Master Ye did this secretly behind the backs of the Ye family in Beijing.
The Ye family has already openly sent people to handle this matter.
Why would Young Master Ye go against his family?
Gao Yongtai dared not ask, but he guessed that it was probably related to the competition for the position of head of the Ye family.
Anyway, he's Young Master Ye's man, and since Young Master Ye specifically gave the order, of course he has to do it.
As for the specific information about the person who owns the patent, because the Ye family keeps it very secret, even though Young Master Ye is a direct descendant of the Ye family, he only managed to obtain about 70% to 80% of the information.
After arriving in Zhonghai Province, he started with the information given to him by Young Master Ye and sent his henchmen, who were local bullies, to conduct a detailed investigation.
It wasn't until last night that he finally found out everything about the person who owned the patent.
"I've given you the address. Here's a billion dollars. Make sure you get your hands on it."
Gao Yongtai handed an envelope to the messenger.
Inside the envelope was a bank card containing one billion yuan, which was considered the cost of this operation.
Because this matter cannot be known to anyone, especially the Ye family in the capital, and even he cannot personally intervene.
Therefore, yesterday, he took in a local playboy who was completely unrelated to him as his new underling.
Today, Gao Yongtai plans to have this new underling take over his duties.
He directed operations remotely.
A billion yuan is already a lot of money. Gao Yongtai believes that the success rate of remotely commanding his subordinates to obtain that new energy vehicle patent will be 100%.
"Understood, Young Master Gao, just you wait and see."
The younger brother carefully put away the envelope, patted his chest, and assured Gao Yongtai that he would definitely complete the mission.
"Okay, go and do it."
Gao Yongtai nodded in satisfaction.
He oversaw operations remotely.
Watching his underling leave, Gao Yongtai felt that things were almost settled and began to plan how to celebrate at noon.
He brought a bottle of top-quality champagne from Beijing this time, and it should be ready to be opened today.
I estimate that Young Master Ye will be very happy to learn about this and will rely on him even more.
Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang had already entered the upscale residential community, Jinxiu Mingyuan.
After parking the car, Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang walked around the residential area.
Since they didn't have enough information, Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang tried to inquire around the neighborhood.
After a long time, neither of them received any useful information.
For a time, things reached a bottleneck.
"The Ye family's secrecy measures are truly outrageous..."
Ye Chen internally complained.
Indeed, top-tier wealthy families are not to be underestimated.
Just as Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang were getting a bit overwhelmed, a tall girl in the distance suddenly caught Su Ningshuang's attention.
"Huh?"
"Why does she look so familiar?"
Su Ningshuang raised an eyebrow and said in surprise.
After a moment of contemplation, Su Ningshuang suddenly realized:
"Oh right, isn't this Zhang Jiaxin, Senior Zhang?"
"ah?"
"Ning Shuang, do you know her?"
Ye Chen was somewhat surprised.
I never expected that Ning Shuang would know people in Zhonghai Province.
“I remember now, Senior Zhang seemed to have mentioned before that her family lived in Zhonghai Province.”
Su Ningshuang remembered everything completely.
"Yes, it's here. Senior Zhang is someone I met in a club at Jiangzhou University. She took good care of me back then; she's a very nice person..."
Su Ningshuang explained it to Ye Chen in detail.
When Su Ningshuang first joined the club, she was unfamiliar with the place and the people. This senior student, Zhang, took special care of Su Ningshuang, and the two had a very good relationship in private.
But after Su Ningshuang went to Shanghai University as an exchange student, the two lost contact, and they never expected to meet here.
"Since Senior Zhang lives here, she might know something. We can ask her for information."
Su Ningshuang made a suggestion to Ye Chen.
After saying that, she took the initiative to go over and greet them.
"Senior Zhang, it's been a long time."
Upon seeing Su Ningshuang, Zhang Jiaxin was initially taken aback, but then she recognized Su Ningshuang:
"It's Junior Su! It's been so long!"
"I heard you went to Shanghai University as an exchange student. What are you doing here?"
Zhang Jiaxin was equally surprised to see Su Xuemei in her own neighborhood.
"Senior Zhang, my boyfriend Ye Chen is from Zhonghai Province..."
Su Ningshuang answered, and then introduced Ye Chen, who was standing next to her.
"Junior Ye."
Zhang Jiaxin nodded to Ye Chen.
Back in Jiangzhou University, Ye Chen was a sensational figure throughout the school. After all, he had won over the aloof campus belle of Jiangzhou University, so it would have been difficult for Ye Chen not to become famous.
Zhang Jiaxin had also heard of Ye Chen.
"By the way, Senior Zhang, have you heard of anyone in our neighborhood who works in the new energy vehicle industry?"
After a few polite exchanges, Ye Chen began to inquire.
Ye Chen didn't have much hope. Investigating someone in such a large residential area wasn't easy.
However, Zhang Xuejie's answer was completely unexpected by Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang.
