Ye Chen nodded slightly. It seemed that Chen Zekai and Tang Sihai were not in the same boat.
Ye Chen asked Hong Wu in the same way: “Hong Wu, did you know Tang Sihai before you met me?”
“I don’t know…” Hong Wu shook his head repeatedly and laughed at himself: “Master Ye, before I met you, I was just an old young and Dangerous boy with a certain reputation in Jinling. I can’t even reach the level of Mr. Chen, let alone a member of the Ye family. The big housekeeper…”
Seeing this, Ye Chen felt relieved.
Then, he said to Chen Zekai: “Old Chen, Butler Tang has temporarily left the Ye family for a while. During this time, the position of the chief steward of the Ye family is vacant. I want you to temporarily replace Butler Tang. I wish Butler Tang the best in the future.” If he will come back, then you will return your position to him as his deputy. If he does not come back in the future, then you will always sit in this position.”
Chen Zekai was surprised and said quickly: “Young Master… My business has never been outside this province. I have just barely figured out what I am doing. You asked me to take over the position of Tang Butler. I… How can I have that ability? …”
Ye Chen asked back: “Didn’t Butler Tang climb up step by step?”
“Yes…” Chen Zekai said awkwardly: “Butler Tang spent more than ten or twenty years climbing up. My ability is much inferior to him, and my qualifications may not convince everyone.”
Ye Chen waved his hand: “I am the head of the Ye family and hold the position of the Ye family’s chief steward. Whoever I ask will naturally be qualified. It depends on whether you want to do it or not.”
“This…” Chen Zekai suddenly fell into conflict.
For him, Tang Sihai’s position was the theoretical peak of his career.
Originally, he did not dare to covet that he could reach the height of Tang Sihai in the future.
However, after being appreciated and valued by Ye Chen, he sometimes felt that as long as he stayed by Ye Chen’s side and worked hard wholeheartedly, Ye Chen might give him this opportunity in the future.
But that is definitely something you can only hope for after you are 50 years old and have accumulated enough experience.
But he never dreamed that Ye Chen would suddenly give him this opportunity to reach the sky in one step.
The only thing he worries about now is that he is afraid that he is not competent enough.
However, when he saw Ye Chen’s firm eyes, he knew that Ye Chen’s ability to make this decision not only represented recognition of his own abilities, but also represented trust in his loyalty.
So, he gritted his teeth and said loudly: “Young Master, thanks to your favor, I am willing to go all out and give him a try. If I am not capable, I will resign to the Young Master as soon as possible. Please also ask the Young Master when the time comes.” Don’t force it!”
Ye Chen said with appreciation: “Don’t worry, if your ability is not up to the mark, I will not be nepotistic and will definitely replace you as soon as possible.”
After that, he looked at Hong Wu again and said: “Hong Wu, you have been following me for a long time. After Lao Chen becomes the chief steward of the Ye family, you will be the agent for the entire Jinling and the entire province. ,Do you want to?”
