Chapter 1639 The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment
On the morning of April 3rd the next day, Ye Chen simply packed a few clothes, said goodbye to his wife and father-in-law, and started back to Yanjing again.
This time, he did not take the Ye family's private plane, but took the Boeing business jet given to him by Gu Yanzhong, and prepared to leave for Yanjing with Chen Zekai.
After boarding the plane, Ye Chen called Gu Qiuyi and told her that he was about to take off and land at Yanjing Airport in about an hour.
Gu Qiuyi was naturally very happy and said on the spot that she would leave immediately and go to the airport to prepare for the reception.
And just when the plane had slowly rolled out and was about to accelerate to take off at the end of the runway, Ye Chen received a call from Ye Zhongquan, Mr. Ye.
On the phone, Ye Zhongquan couldn't hide his excitement and asked: "Chen'er, when will you come to Yanjing?"
Ye Chen said calmly: "I'm on the plane now. It will take off soon."
"Great!" Ye Zhongquan said very excitedly: "You are the only one missing from the entire Ye family! Tonight I will host a banquet at home for all the heads of the Ye family's collateral and branch families, as well as our Ye family itself.
Spokespersons from all over the country and even around the world, when the time comes, I will introduce your identity to them in front of everyone and let them know that you are Changying's son!"
Ye Chen said: "Forget it, that would be too high-profile and not in line with my behavior."
Saying that, Ye Chen added: "I will stay at Uncle Gu's house today. Tomorrow I will return to Ye's house to attend the meeting before the ancestor worship ceremony. I will also attend the ancestor worship ceremony the day after tomorrow on time. For other occasions and activities, I will attend
No more participation."
Ye Zhongquan said hurriedly: "Chen'er, you are Changying's son, my grandson, and the second young master of the entire Ye family. You must know that your future achievements will belong to you young people. In time, you will belong to the Ye family."
Number two, such an important occasion only happens once every 12 years, so you must seize the opportunity to make those Ye family members convinced of you."
Ye Chen smiled and said: "No need, I'm not planning to inherit the Ye family's property. Let others do the publicity work."
As he spoke, he heard a roar from the plane's engine, and the plane had begun sprinting at one end of the runway. He said to Ye Zhongquan: "The plane is about to take off, let's not talk about it for now. See you tomorrow."
After saying this, Ye Chen hung up the phone without waiting for Mr. Ye's response.
In fact, he didn't mean to be rude to his grandfather, the main reason was that he knew what the old man was thinking.
He knew that the old man definitely wanted him to take the opportunity of this ancestor worship ceremony to officially return to the Ye family, thereby completely abandoning his identity as an orphan in Jinling for the previous twenty years.
But this was unacceptable to Ye Chen.
Twenty years have passed, and in his mind, he is no longer the young master named Ye Chen from the Ye family, but the orphan named Ye Chen from Yanjing.
After all, his parents had been separated for nearly twenty years, and the bond between him and the Ye family had been broken for twenty years. In his opinion, it was neither necessary nor possible to forcibly bring this bond back.
At this time, Ye Zhongquan felt somewhat unhappy when he saw Ye Chen hanging up the phone.
But he still knew the reason why Ye Chen did this.
He also knew that Ye Chen did not want to officially change his identity as the young master of the Ye family.
If he were just a grandfather, he really didn't want to force Ye Chen when his second son had passed away so many years ago and he had finally found the whereabouts of his grandson.
It might not be a bad choice to let Ye Chen live the life he wants to live happily.
In that case, it would not only be a good thing for Ye Chen himself. It would also be very gratifying for his parents if someone knew about it.
However, he is also aware of his other identity. He is not only Ye Chen's grandfather, but also the head of the Ye family.
Since you are the head of the Ye family, you must put the interests of the Ye family at the core.
As a direct descendant of the Ye family, Ye Chen must return to the Ye family and serve the interests of the Ye family.
What's more, Ye Chen is the future son-in-law recognized by the Gu family. From this point of view alone, Ye Chen is even more important to the Ye family.
Therefore, Ye Zhongquan planned this time that no matter whether Ye Chen was willing to return to the Ye family or not, as long as he came this time, he would do everything possible to keep him.
And this time, Ye Zhongquan was already prepared.
He plans to arrange for some photographers to attend the ancestor worship ceremony in casual clothes on the day of the ancestor worship ceremony, and let them take some behind-the-scenes photos and videos of the ancestor worship ceremony. At that time, he will select the best ones and hand them over to the media for publication.
In that case, it will not only be able to show the strength and style of the Ye family to the people across the country, but also expose Ye Chen and other descendants of the Ye family.
He felt that once Ye Chen's identity as the young master of the Ye family was exposed, it would be impossible for him to return to his previous identity as the orphan Ye Chen.
Thinking of this, he gathered his family together and said excitedly: "Haha, Chen'er has already taken off to Yanjing! He will arrive in Yanjing in more than an hour! He has been away from home for nearly twenty years, and he is finally coming back!
This is really a great blessing that my Ye family has not experienced in more than ten years!"
Ye Changmin, who originally had a contented look on his face, couldn't help but tremble when he heard the word Chen'er.
Ye Chen's uncle Ye Changkong said at this time: "Dad, you are exaggerating. Of course it is a good thing that Ye Chen is back, but it is not a great blessing that our Ye family has not seen in more than ten years!"
Ye Zhongquan smiled and said calmly: "You don't understand Chen'er's potential at all."
"I don't understand?" Ye Changkong said with some disdain: "After all, isn't Ye Chen just trying to make a name for himself in Jinling? Indeed, I heard that he also met a few people outside, but in the final analysis, he still can't get into it.
What kind of platform? You see, he seems to be doing well in Jinling, but when he comes to Yanjing, he really has no chance. If Jinling is a river, then Yanjing is the sea. When he gets here, I'm afraid he won't be able to adapt at all."
"Yes, Grandpa." Ye Changkong's son, Ye Chen's cousin Ye Feng, also said at this time: "Grandpa, I know you want Ye Chen to return to the Ye family, and you have high hopes for Ye Chen, but let me say something
To be honest, in the circle of Yanjing, there is really no room for development suitable for Ye Chen."
As he spoke, he continued his analysis with a serious look on his face: "Take the circle I usually play in. Which one of you has not studied abroad for many years and is well-informed? Most of them have studied in the United States or England, and the last one is a foreigner.
In Australia, in terms of academic qualifications, a master's degree is just an entry point, and many are PhDs in economics and management. But Ye Chen only studied at university for one year and doesn't even have a university diploma. How will he integrate into these circles when he comes to Yanjing?"
Ye Feng's cousin, who is also Ye Chen's cousin, Ye Hao also echoed at this time: "Yes, grandpa, although Ye Chen is from the Ye family, in the final analysis, he is only related to the Ye family by blood. Others,
Basically they are all out of place!"
"To put it bluntly, he is a completely low-end person in front of the Ye family. I think you should not have too much hope in him, because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!"
