Ye Chen was stunned by Mr. Ye's words that were totally out of the ordinary.
Does this mean that you want to adopt me as your godson?
We have only known each other for a short while.
So what?
Besides, the Ye family is very prosperous, so why would it be worth it? "Mr. Ye, are you serious?"
Ye Chen, who was unsure of what the other party meant, raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Do you think I would play such a joke on you?" Mr. Ye continued to laugh.
That's all.
Let out a long sigh.
Then he put away the playful look on his face.
"Xiao Ye, I want to ask the Ye family to protect you... but I don't dare! Even if your Jiuzhou Security becomes more prosperous and powerful in the future, I still don't dare to gamble. This is too radical and too risky for the Ye family. Even if you and your Jiuzhou Security will never change, I can't agree to your request. It's very simple, because once the Ye family intervenes, once they forcibly give your Jiuzhou Security a special background, then the opponents of the Ye family will inevitably take the opportunity to make use of the situation!"
"This is not a question of possibility, but a necessity. The Ye family's opponents will inevitably take advantage of the situation to target the Ye family! Our Shenzhou is different from other countries. Many things have absolute red lines. If you step on them, the consequences will be very troublesome! I know, I know that the reason you want to ask the Ye family for help is because of the Yanhuang Fighting Training Base opened by Cheng Ying, that brat, right? But I hope you can understand and understand that the Yanhuang Fighting Training Base and your security company are completely different in nature!"
"The existence of the Yanhuang Fighting Training Base is mostly for the second generation of military personnel, to prepare them for joining the army in the future! Just for this point, it is enough to shut up many people! As for you, Jiuzhou Security, it is two different things from the Yanhuang Fighting Training Base. Once the Ye family gets involved, it is equivalent to stepping on the line and giving others a handle. Not to mention how much risk the Ye family has to bear for this, even if someone uses this to make a fuss, you and your Jiuzhou Security will not have an easy time!
Under the solemn words of Mr. Ye, Ye Chen fell silent.
Indeed, he had overlooked it before, ignoring the fact that the Ye family had to consider being stabbed in the back by someone...
After all, as Grandpa Ye said, the nature of Jiuzhou Security and the Yanhuang Fighting Training Base are two different things.
Moreover, the personnel structure of Jiuzhou Security is composed of retired elite soldiers. In China, this kind of situation can be either big or small.
In a sense, if the Ye family really gave Jiuzhou Security a special background, then in the eyes of the outside world, they would undoubtedly be tied to Jiuzhou Security. Once the nature of this is deliberately elevated and magnified by someone with ulterior motives, then it would be a clear violation of the law!
"However, there is something to be done here. It doesn't mean that the Ye family must come forward in person to ensure that your Jiuzhou security in the country is worry-free!" Old Master Ye suddenly laughed.
Suddenly.
Ye Chen seemed to have thought of something.
He asked repeatedly, "Master Ye, do you mean to recognize you as your godfather?"
Mr. Ye nodded.
"Yes, aren't you just worried that your Jiuzhou Security will be closely watched by relevant departments because of its nature? As long as the news that you have become my godson gets out, as long as Jiuzhou Security maintains the necessary bottom line, I think those relevant departments will naturally turn a blind eye in the consideration. Everyone will think that I am behind you and that the Ye family is supporting you. The effect is the same! Once something goes wrong, my Ye family can also get away with it. After all, the Ye family has never done anything from beginning to end. I just recognize you as my godson, right?
Without waiting for Ye Chen to say anything.
Mr. Ye continued, "Besides, didn't you say that I still have ten or eight years to live? If your Jiuzhou Security is that material, these ten or eight years will be enough for you to grow up! It depends on whether you are willing to be my grandson, haha!
"Mr. Ye, did you make this choice because your Ye family owes me a favor for the TT incident?" Ye Chen asked.
"Is it important?" Ye Lao said.
"Important! If it's because of personal relationships, I don't think it's necessary. At worst, the development of Jiuzhou Security can be put on hold. At worst, we can build it into an ordinary security company or move abroad and develop overseas!" Ye Chen said seriously.
"You little bastard, you underestimate me! It's true that my Ye family owes you a huge favor, but no matter how big the favor is, it's not enough for me, Ye Jinning, to take the initiative to propose to recognize you as my grandson. After all, there are many ways to repay a favor, and this method is far from necessary!" Old Master Ye shook his head and smiled, "So, make a decision!"
Little did he know that what Ye Chen did next would surprise him greatly.
Ye Chen just shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Mr. Ye, I respect you and admire you, always have! I am flattered to receive your recognition, and I don't know how many lifetimes of good fortune it took for me to be able to be related to you and become your father and daughter! But in my opinion, the relationship between father and daughter should be pure, and I should not recognize you as my godfather just to achieve some purpose. If I do this, the nature of the relationship will change. Maybe it doesn't matter to you, but for me, it will be a knot in my heart!"
Hearing this.
Ye Jinning was stunned.
He had planned everything, but he could not have expected this result. Ye Chen...was he rejecting him?
Refusing to be his grandson?
You know, he is Ye Jinning, the head of the Ye family who is known as the King of Lingnan!
How many people dream of being related to him? It is no exaggeration to say that.
Even people like Wang Jianlin and Ma Huatian.
As long as he said that he wanted to adopt the other person as his godson, he had no doubt that the other person would nod and happily agree at the first opportunity.
But Ye Chen actually
"Boy, are you rejecting me?" Ye Jinning said in disbelief.
"Mr. Ye, in my heart, you will always be an elder whom I respect and adore! But... I still say that, I don't want to use the identity of your godson to make profits for myself! Although in the eyes of capital, interests are paramount! But for me, I can't do it. If I say that I recognize you as my godson just to make Jiuzhou Security rest assured, it will undoubtedly go against my purpose in life!" Ye Chen said.
"Haha, what a great purpose for life! But if you refuse, do you think your Jiuzhou Security can still develop and survive in the country according to your established ideas and plans?"
After being stunned for a while, Ye Jinning started to laugh.
"Let it be!" Ye Chen exhaled slowly.
"I never thought that I, Ye Jinning, would be rejected after offering to be a godgrandfather to a younger generation. Boy... you made me lose face!" Ye Jinning suddenly said self-deprecatingly.
"Mr. Ye, it is my great honor to be your grandson. I..."
Don't give Ye Chen a chance to continue speaking.
Ye Jinning raised his hand to interrupt, then smiled and said, "Although I don't know the real reason why you refused, it doesn't matter anymore, and I won't force you! How about this, you can refuse me, but I will let the Ye family spread the news that they have adopted you as their godson, so as to lay a foundation for the survival and development of Jiuzhou Security. Just regard it as my wishful thinking, what do you think?"
