Chapter 75: One Sentence Leads to Isolation



"I have time."

Ye Chen nodded; he had nothing planned for the day.

"Alright, come with me."

Mo Hongru explained to Ye Chen.

"Let me introduce you to an old friend."

Mo Hongru's visit here today is not accidental; he has come specifically to visit an old friend.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Ye Chen.

Ye Chen is currently starting a business, so getting to know more people and expanding his network will definitely benefit his career.

That's why Mo Hongru said that to Ye Chen.

"An old friend?"

Ye Chen muttered something to himself.

"Don't worry, he's just an old friend, easy to get along with, and not some important person."

Mo Hongru explained.

Ye Chen, however, was not quite convinced.

Last time, a few casual phone calls from Uncle Mo's old friend made Ma Jianwen tremble with fear.

Will this old friend be ordinary now?

"By the way, is this old friend of mine related to you?"

Mo Hongru continued.

"Is there a connection?"

Ye Chen was very surprised.

“He is your neighbor, living in the manor next door.”

As they talked, Mo Hongru and Ye Chen walked out.

Ye Chen got into the car, and Mo Hongru drove to a nearby manor.

Although the two manors are adjacent, their sizes are quite different. This manor is probably only two-thirds the size of Ye Chen's manor.

Led by Mo Hongru, the two entered the manor.

"Old Chen."

As soon as he entered, Mo Hongru began to speak.

Hearing a sound, a chubby middle-aged man came out.

"Old Mo, you've finally arrived! Tonight, let's drink until we drop!"

Upon seeing Mo Hongru, the chubby old Chen immediately spoke excitedly.

"Old Chen, I heard you recently acquired another company. How about it? Your net worth has skyrocketed, hasn't it?"

Mo Hongru spoke.

"What? All of them combined only amount to 20 billion, which is far less than yours."

Old Chen looked self-deprecating.

"Don't talk to me about my net worth, it hurts my feelings."

These old friends often teased each other, and he had many ways of teasing others.

But when others tease him, they always say the same thing: "Your net worth is only 20 billion."

A single sentence from someone can make him instantly withdrawn.

Who is this?

Old Chen changed the subject and asked curiously.

The two were old friends and knew each other's juniors, but Ye Chen was someone he was meeting for the first time.

"This is your neighbor."

Mo Hongru introduced Ye Chen.

"Neighbor?"

Old Chen frowned. He knew the owners of the surrounding manors, but this young man was someone he was seeing for the first time.

"Next to it is the manor that used to belong to Mr. Lin."

Mo Hongru offered a reminder.

"What, Mr. Lin's manor?"

Hearing this, Old Chen was extremely shocked.

After learning about this, Old Chen's gaze towards Ye Chen changed.

Mo Hongru introduced the two to each other.

Old Chen, whose real name is Chen Jinzong, is, in his own words, just an ordinary person with a net worth of only 20 billion.

"Mr. Chen."

Ye Chen greeted him.

"Mr. Ye, you're too kind."

After learning that Ye Chen had actually bought the manor from Mr. Lin, Chen Jinzong treated Ye Chen with great politeness.

"Please have a seat."

Chen Jinzong invited the group to sit down.

The three were chatting when, just then, the distinctive roar of a supercar came from outside.

A short while later, a young man in his mid-twenties walked in.

"Dad, I'm having trouble choosing a location for my company..."

The young man spoke as soon as he entered.

He was none other than Chen Jinzong's son, Chen Hongbo.

Chen Hongbo only got halfway through his sentence before he fell silent upon seeing that there were guests in his home.

"Uncle Mo, you've arrived."

Chen Hongbo greeted Mo Hongru.

"Long time no see, Hongbo."

Mo Hongru nodded.

"This is President Ye Chen. Please call him Brother Chen."

Chen Jinzong introduced Ye Chen to his son.

Upon hearing his father's words, Chen Hongbo's expression changed immediately.

This kid looks younger than him.

I actually have to call him brother?

Chen Hongbo was very dissatisfied, but because of his father's gaze, he could only bite the bullet and greet Ye Chen.

"Brother Chen."

Ye Chen nodded in response.

Chen Hongbo sat down, and Ye Chen and the others continued chatting.

Looking at Ye Chen, Chen Hongbo was making plans in his mind.

Why would a guy in his early twenties ask me to call him "brother"?

Does he deserve to be called that?

Chen Hongbo was very unhappy; this matter absolutely could not be left like this.

He had to find a way to make Ye Chen call him brother.

Chen Hongbo began to think.

"By the way, Hongbo, what did you say when you came in? What happened?"

Chen Jinzong asked his son.

"Dad, it's like this, we've run into trouble with our company's location selection."

Chen Hongbo sighed softly, saying with a hint of helplessness.

Not long after graduating from university, Chen Hongbo didn't want to work for his family's company. He wanted to try his luck and start his own business.

After repeated discussions, Chen Jinzong gave his son 50 million yuan as start-up capital.

Everything was planned out, but unexpectedly, a problem arose regarding the company's location.

"Qi Wen has also taken a liking to the place we originally had our eye on."

Chen Jinzong was helpless.

Qi Wen is also a second-generation rich kid, from a very powerful family, roughly the same as the Chen family.

"Their family has connections. It's said that they made the arrangements some time ago. Qi Wen has already reserved the 12th and 13th floors of Tianheng."
