"Hello."
Adrian stepped forward and shook hands with Ye Chen, who politely returned the gesture.
"Ye Chenxian... he really is young and handsome..."
Upon meeting, Adrian immediately began praising Ye Chen.
"Hello, Mr. Adrian, do you remember me?"
On the other side, Bruce was no longer calm.
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Bruce walked straight to Adrian's side and respectfully asked.
"Um?"
Adrian was chatting with Ye Chen when he suddenly heard someone call his name, so he turned around.
Looking at Bruce, Adrian was lost in memories.
"No."
Adrian thought for a moment, then shook his head, indicating that he did not know Bruce.
“Mr. Adrian, I am Bruce, Vice President of Hilton Hotels & Resorts Asia Pacific…”
Bruce was saddened to see that Adrian didn't recognize him, but he still introduced himself carefully.
It turns out that a high-ranking Hilton executive was a good friend of Adrian, and at a ball, Bruce had the opportunity to meet Adrian because of that executive.
"Hello....."
After learning Bruce's identity, Adrian politely replied that it was, of course, because of the Hilton Hotel Group.
"Mr. Adrian, what brings you here?"
Bruce asked, puzzled.
"I've come specifically to pay my respects to... Mr. Ye Chen..."
Adrian tried hard to correct his pronunciation.
"Mr. Ye Chen?"
Upon hearing Adrian's words, Bruce immediately sensed something was amiss.
Something's not right. Mr. Adrian is the general manager of Patek Philippe, a true high-ranking executive. Why would he come to pay his respects to this Mr. Ye Chen?
Without a doubt, this Mr. Ye Chen's identity is definitely not simple.
"Hello Mr. Ye Chen, I was too arrogant just now, I hope you won't take it to heart."
Bruce's attitude towards Ye Chen underwent a complete 180-degree change, and he immediately spoke respectfully.
Even the way they address each other has started to use "you" (formal).
Because he works in cities like Shanghai for many years, Bruce speaks fluent Chinese.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhiyuan, who had gone to great lengths to invite Bruce, was dumbfounded.
What's going on?!
What happened to Bruce?
After a brief analysis, Zhou Zhiyuan's gaze towards Ye Chen also turned fearful...
That Adrian must be someone of very high status, otherwise Bruce wouldn't be so polite.
And Adrian came specifically to visit Ye Chen, so Ye Chen...
Could it be that besides Daxia Real Estate Group, Ye Chen has some other terrifying background or connections?
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhiyuan was so frightened that his body trembled uncontrollably.
If his guess is true, then their Zhou's Real Estate Group is truly doomed.
After exchanging a few words, Ye Chen and Adrian went to a private room to discuss matters.
Bruce shamelessly followed him inside.
Zhou Zhiyuan stood there dumbfounded, as if he were an outsider.
Bruce was someone he paid a hefty price to hire.
Then, Bruce turned around and went to ask Ye Chen for his money...
Zhou Zhiyuan was in despair; everything he had done had been in vain, a complete waste of time.
In the private room, after a few words, Adrian, on behalf of the president of Patek Philippe, extended his greetings to Ye Chen.
With Ye Chen joining, Patek Philippe will definitely get better and better.
"Mr. Ye Chen... This is a gift personally selected for you by the president. Please accept it..."
As he spoke, Adrian took out a gift box bearing the Patek Philippe logo and respectfully handed it to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen took it.
Since it was a gift specially selected by the president of Patek Philippe, it must be something special.
Ye Chen curiously opened the gift box and saw an exquisite wristwatch lying inside.
"My God, a Patek Philippe Reference 1518?!?"
Upon seeing the watch, Bruce immediately exclaimed in amazement, his face showing utter shock.
"Patek Philippe Reference 1518?"
Ye Chen muttered something to himself.
“Mr. Ye Chen, this is indeed the Patek Philippe Reference 1518.”
Adrian said with certainty.
The Patek Philippe Reference 1518, produced in the 1940s and 1950s, was the world's first perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch produced as a series, with a total production of 281 pieces.
Among these 281 watches, there are 4 that are quite special.
The watch in Ye Chen's hand at this moment is one of those four special watches.
The Patek Philippe Reference 1518 represents the pinnacle of Patek Philippe's craftsmanship and is a coveted treasure among top collectors.
At an international auction in 2016, a Patek Philippe Reference 1518 watch sold for a staggering 76 million!
It is considered one of the most expensive watches in the world.
This special Patek Philippe Reference 1518 watch is not found in any museum that boasts the world's most important and complete collection of Patek Philippe timepieces.
This is enough to prove its rarity and value.
When the president of Patek Philippe took out this watch, he was also extremely distressed.
After dinner, Adrian wanted to take a photo with Ye Chen to give to the president.
After taking the first photo, Bruce also took one with Ye Chen and Adrian.
After taking the group photo, Adrian said goodbye to Ye Chen and hurriedly left to catch his flight because he had other things to do.
After that, Ye Chen also left.
Bruce watched Ye Chen's Lycan Wolf Son depart into the distance, lost in thought.
It seems the company now has a choice regarding its partners in Jiangzhou...
Compared to Mr. Ye Chen's Daxia Real Estate Group, Zhou's Real Estate Group seems quite ordinary.
Meanwhile, several members of the Fire Riders Supercar Club, one of the four major supercar clubs in Hangzhou, finally found the owner of the Lykan Son.
When they learned that Ye Chen was actually a freshman in college, these young men from Hangzhou were dumbfounded.
That's way too young.
When they were so young, they had never even driven a supercar like a Koenigsegg or Bugatti, let alone a Lykan Sons of Wolves.
The differences between people are just too great.
"Brother Zhao, how do we invite this big shot?"
Someone asked the skinny young man who was in the lead.
"This... I need to think about it carefully."
The skinny young man fell into deep thought. He certainly couldn't act rashly, after all, he had invited this person to be the president and to reclaim the status of Hangzhou's four major supercar clubs.
"I have an idea."
After some thought, the skinny young man came up with a good idea.
