The two of them talked back and forth, and before they knew it, they had spent the whole afternoon discussing the company's plans and various details.
Before we knew it, evening had arrived. The setting sun burned like a fireball on the horizon, turning the sky a fiery red. Below, fishing boats set sail on the surface of the bay.
On the beach, in the afterglow of the setting sun, Ye Chen and Li Muyue stood side by side, gazing at the magnificent scenery. Their figures stretched out behind them for dozens of meters, looking like two slender fingers.
The sea breeze blew by, causing their clothes to flutter like two butterflies dancing in the air.
Half an hour ago, the two had finished discussing the company's various plans, and then fell into a long silence.
"Ye Chen, that's enough for today. It's time to go back." Li Muyue broke the silence, her voice soft, her face flushed in the afterglow.
Ye Chen nodded, and the two then ended their nominal first date.
After returning to the mansion, Old Li looked at Ye Chen with even more kindness. He had dinner with Ye Chen that evening before letting him leave.
The next day, after breakfast, Ye Chen went out and took a taxi to the venue where the New Energy Association was holding an event.
The event was held in a seaside park. This was the first all-member event held by the New Energy Association since its establishment, and many distinguished guests were invited to attend.
The association's president, Wang Chongfu, and several vice presidents are all ambitious and capable entrepreneurs. Their extensive publicity and event organization are mainly aimed at expanding the influence of the New Energy Association and making it an important participant or even a leader in the global industry!
Regardless of the purpose, this event was held with great effort to invite Ye Chen, who never participates in association activities.
Haizhou, a famous tourist destination, is also striving to develop a green economy, which aligns well with the goals of the New Energy Association. It took a long time and many cities to win over the host city for this event.
After Ye Chen got out of the taxi, he immediately noticed that the venue was set up with a very high-tech feel.
He glanced around and walked toward the reception area.
"Miss, my name is Ye Chen, and I have been invited to participate in today's event."
Ye Chen stepped forward and spoke to a friendly-looking young lady with a sweet smile at the reception desk.
"Sir, please wait a moment."
The young woman glanced at Ye Chen's handsome face, her smile becoming even sweeter. She fiddled with the tablet for a moment, and when she saw the pop-up message, her eyes widened instantly.
The honorary president, whom I had only heard of but never seen, was actually this handsome young man in front of me!
"President Ye, please follow me. Your seat is over here."
The young lady was very professional; she snapped out of her daze in an instant and quickly got up to lead Ye Chen into the venue.
At the same time, they also report to their superiors through the headset that important guests are coming, and they will notify them in advance so that more important people can greet them.
Led by the receptionist, Ye Chen entered the event venue.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie came over. Through his self-introduction, Ye Chen learned his identity—Lin Xueyi, the secretary-general of the New Energy Association.
Accompanied by Lin Xueyi, Ye Chen walked through the venue toward the podium.
Soon, people who had seen Ye Chen before recognized him and gathered around him with smiles that were either friendly or polite.
"President Ye."
"President Ye, good morning."
Ye Chen's commotion also attracted the attention of some people in the venue.
A middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, who was standing not far away, was chatting with his beautiful secretary. He was interrupted by the noise from this side. He frowned slightly, turned his head and glanced over. He saw a strange young man surrounded by people. He thought to himself, "This must be the young master of some big family. Otherwise, why would so many people be trying to curry favor with him? I have to find a way to get to know him."
He pondered for a moment, then spotted a familiar figure on the outer edge of the crowd—someone his company had previously collaborated with.
"Old Wang, who is this young man? He looks quite important. Can you introduce him?" The fat, middle-aged man stepped forward and pulled his business partner aside to ask.
"It's Lao Zhong. That's Chairman Ye Chen, the honorary chairman of the New Energy Association."
The partner turned around and introduced him, then said in surprise, "Why are you doing over there when you're in the entertainment industry?"
"Let's get to know each other first. Who knows, I might cross over into another field in the future."
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he smiled broadly.
More and more people with this mindset surrounded Ye Chen, making it almost impossible for him to move.
It took Ye Chen a full ten minutes to walk through the less than two hundred meters of the venue and arrive at the podium.
"Brother Ye, come over here. This is your first time participating in the association's activities. As the founder of the association, this is not up to par. Look, many members don't even know you yet," Wang Chongfu, the CEO of BYATI, joked when he saw Ye Chen.
"Sorry, sorry, I've been too busy lately. The New Energy Association is developing very well under the leadership of several of you, so I won't get involved." Ye Chen greeted the other vice presidents with a smile while responding to their questions.
This wasn't entirely flattery. After the New Energy Association was established, under Ye Chen's authorization, it firmly controlled the sales and pricing rights of metallic hydrogen batteries.
They have almost completely dominated the domestic new energy vehicle market, while foreign car brands are barely surviving in the traditional gasoline vehicle sector.
Beyond the automotive market, the market for other consumer electronics products, including mobile phones and computers, is also gradually eroding the market share of foreign brands thanks to the superior performance of metallic hydrogen batteries.
In addition to the domestic market, they are also gradually expanding into foreign markets, but due to policy protection and some political factors, the results are not yet very obvious.
However, if foreign countries do not have products that can rival metallic hydrogen batteries, it is only a matter of time before they conquer the market, especially in the electric vehicle market. Electric vehicles equipped with metallic hydrogen batteries are simply a game-changer compared to all other types of vehicles.
It is said that Tesla's owner has applied to join the New Energy Association multiple times, but has been rejected each time. Now he can only buy metal hydrogen batteries at high prices.
There are even rumors that he is preparing to apply for a Chinese green card in order to meet the requirements for joining the association.
Ye Chen chatted with Wang Chongfu and the others for a few minutes before they led him to his seat.
After taking his seat, Ye Chen glanced around and saw several nameplates placed in the center: the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the Mayor of Haizhou, the Deputy Mayor…
They are all people of considerable importance!
Before long, these important figures arrived together, and the opening ceremony of the event officially began.
As the opening ceremony concluded this morning, various news reports began appearing on major domestic media outlets, and Ye Chen's image also appeared in these news articles.
