Gao Jianjia was quite frank when asked by Ye Chen.
I explained, "It wasn't me who asked him to go with me to visit the mountains. I didn't even consider looking for him at the beginning. It was when he found out that I was going to visit the mountains that he immediately applied for vacation from the school. When he first approached me and said he wanted to go with me, I refused. Later he said he had already arranged his vacation and so on, so I had no choice but to let him go! As for why I came with him to see you, I was thinking of inviting the few people who had visited the mountains with me before to meet you, but they all had their own things to do and couldn't get away, so I simply didn't say I was going to see you! I never thought that Lao Zhuang would call me as soon as he saw the message in the WeChat group, and said that he had already driven and asked me to send the coordinates. Under that situation, I really couldn't show too much rejection, so I had to come with him!"
After listening to Gao Jianjia's helpless explanation.
Ye Chen nodded slightly, "Sister Jianjia, since you are not interested in him, then you need to keep a proper distance, so as to avoid him making wild associations and making everyone embarrassed in the end!"
"What's going on? I'm a few years older than you, why are you lecturing me?" Gao Jianjia scolded with a smile.
"So what if you are a few years older than me? I have a family, a wife, and a five-year-old child. You have never even been in a relationship. Can't I give you a few words of advice?" Ye Chen said in a condescending manner.
"Well, you win!"
Gao Jianjia shook her head helplessly and smiled.
Then, as if he remembered something, he suddenly asked, "Wait a minute, Zhuang Hanlin is a high school teacher, and he is also a gentle and elegant unmarried man. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a high-quality man. He is also the type that my parents like. Why do you seem to have a problem with him? Is it because you are not satisfied with what he said at the beginning?"
"Do you think I'm that stingy? Or do you think I will argue with him?" Ye Chen said.
"Hmm?" Gao Jianjia raised her eyebrows.
Suddenly, I remembered the obviously strange look on Zhuang Hanlin's face when I came back from the bathroom.
Although Ye Chen also gave an explanation at that time.
But now think about it, if it is really as simple as Ye Chen said, would Zhuang Hanlin be so concerned?
Without waiting for Ye Chen to respond, he continued, "Ye Chen, tell me the truth, when I went to the bathroom just now, did you say anything else to Zhuang Hanlin?
"Sister Jianjia, it doesn't matter what I said to him! What matters is that he is not suitable for you, or it should be said that he is not worthy of you. Even a hundred of him tied together are not worthy of you!" Ye Chen shook his head and said seriously.
"What do you mean?" Gao Jianjia was stunned.
Ye Chen opened his mouth first.
But before he could make a sound, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Since I know you have no feelings for him and have no intention of having a relationship with him beyond friendship, that's enough. There's nothing more to say! Sister Jianjia, didn't I tell you before that when I was in elementary and middle school, I lived in an uninhabited, dilapidated old house in the suburbs, and the house next to me was occupied by an old man who was a fortune teller and predictor of marriage? I studied with him for a few years!" Ye Chen said seriously.
Gao Jianjia knew about Ye Chen's past, after all, Ye Chen had told her about it before.
But Ye Chen never seemed to have said that he had learned these martial arts from the other party for several years!
"What? Have you learned fortune-telling and marriage prediction from that old man? Don't tell me that you have already predicted my marriage!" Gao Jianjia said in astonishment.
"Yes, I really calculated it for you!" Ye Chen said frankly.
"Then what have you figured out?" Gao Jianjia smiled sweetly, looking surprised.
Well, I calculated that your fate will come next year, and your husband will be a high-ranking official, well... an official, and he will be in a very high position in the future. Your marriage will be extremely happy, and you will also be blessed with children, and you will have a son and a daughter in this life!" Ye Chen said.
"I think you are going too far!
Gao Jianjia, who regarded Ye Chen's calculation as complete nonsense, shook her head and said with a smile, "It's a good thing that you are now in business and have achieved success, otherwise I think you would have become a charlatan who focuses on crooked ways!"
"Don't you believe me?" Ye Chen said.
Little did she know that Gao Jianjia skipped the topic and said, "Let's not talk about me anymore. Let's get back to the point. Regarding the charity fund, you must ask Yinuo for her opinion and get her consent, otherwise I will definitely give up and not take care of it!
"Don't worry, I said I would listen to you and I will definitely listen to you! You just need to open the account and I will transfer the money directly into it!" Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Are you sure you really want to invest 500 million in the first phase?" Gao Jianjia asked again.
"Yes, five hundred million! Just go ahead and make your plan. Although I, Ye Chen, have never thought of becoming a saint, I am willing to make some contribution to the world if I have the ability to do so. Five hundred million is still within my budget and will not have any impact on me!" Ye Chen said seriously.
Five hundred million...
Let's not talk about the commercial profits of Yiren Ruxue or other industries.
It is the upcoming TT Travel listing in the United States. By then, as long as he conducts short-selling operations, it will be enough for him to earn billions.
Therefore, a mere 500 million is really not a worthwhile amount for him.
"Okay, then I would like to thank Mr. Ye on behalf of the children and people in the mountains!" Gao Jianjia smiled.
....
With the topic of charity over.
Then we chatted about some family matters.
As time goes by.
In the end, it was Gao Jianjia who suggested leaving and going back.
Ye Chen once again became Gao Jianjia's driver.
After the Mercedes-Benz G arrived downstairs of Gao Jianjia's residence, Gao Jianjia did not let him go up to sit, and Ye Chen also did not mention going up to take a look.
After all, they are a single man and a single woman, so it doesn't matter how pure their relationship is.
It is still necessary to avoid suspicion.
I just said goodbye to Gao Jianjia.
On the other side, Ye Chen rushed to the market without stopping.
I thought it's been a while since I've made any unique dishes for my wife and daughter.
So I bought a lot of ingredients this time.
Even though it was only three o'clock in the afternoon.
But Ye Chen was already busy in the kitchen.
During the complicated cooking process, it was not finished until Chen Yinuo brought Ye Youyou home.
By the time the food was served and I took off my apron, four hours had passed.
Amid the warmth and laughter, Chen Yinuo and Ye Youyou had a dinner that was so delicious that they almost licked the bottom of the plate clean.
Just when Ye Chen wanted to go downstairs for a walk with his wife and daughter.
The caller ID with Secretary Yan's name suddenly lit up on the phone screen.
"Hey, Secretary Yan!
Looking at the caller ID, Ye Chen was a little surprised that Yan Huaili, whom he hadn't contacted for a long time, suddenly contacted him.
But the next second, without time to think about the purpose of Yan Huaili's call, he quickly pressed the answer button and shouted with a chuckle in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"I hope I don't disturb your dinner by calling you at this time!" Yan Huaili joked in a friendly manner.
"No, no, I've finished eating. I was planning to go downstairs for a walk with my wife and kids!" Ye Chen hurriedly responded with a smile.
"Don't go down yet, I have something to tell you first!" Yan Huaili was just speaking.
