Chapter 60: The Old Master Yang
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As Cheng Anya was distracted, she was brought in front of Old Master Yang. This was her first meeting Old Master Yang, a man who once ruled the business world.
For a man past seventy years old, he was still sturdy. Despite his eyes being slightly blurry, they were, however, extremely perceptive. He did not slouch but stood erect instead in his Chinese suit, which complemented his tall and slender build.
As the years passed, his domineering side became hidden from view, but it did not disappear. It had, however, became more powerful to the point one could imagine him calling the shots with decisiveness and brutality never seen before.
One could imagine how well Old Master Yang looked in his youth.
Cheng Anya had a very strange feeling. She seemed to have seen how Ye Chen would look like fifty years later.
There was a staggering… similarity between the two of them.
“Old Master Yang, it has been a while since we last met. You’ve become sturdier. I wish you good health and long life.” Ye Chen smiled, his tone carrying an elegance never seen before with a hint of utmost respect for elders.
As Cheng Anya held his arm, she clearly felt Ye Chen’s muscles tensed up. Like a fighter, he was fully on the defensive.
Ready for the kill.
Cheng Anya had never seen Ye Chen like this before.
Despite the sincere smile radiating from him, it was not heartfelt.
Although she had not been Ye Chen’s secretary for long, and thus could not claim to understand him, Anya knew that Ye Chen’s every action carried meaning.
“Many thanks, really. You have taken time out of your busy schedule to personally visit me. I am indebted. To borrow a quote from you, I will live a long life.” Old Master Yang chuckled. As his sharp gaze swept over Ye Chen, there was an indescribable complexity hidden beneath his blurring eyes.
“You are a legend in the business world. I must take it upon myself to personally congratulate you at your birthday banquet.”
“I’m old already, way past my prime. The younger generation will surpass the previous generation. Now, it’s your time.”
“Old Master Yang is too modest. I still need your guidance in many areas, be it business or others.”
“Haha, Boss Ye is too polite. Your strength of will is so much stronger than mine when I was your age. How could I counsel you?”
“…”
As Cheng Anya stood next to Ye Chen, she felt his body stiffened gradually. The way Old Master Ye and Ye Chen were interacting was too strange.
The competition between Yao Hua and MBS all these years had undoubtedly built extremely deep grievances. Boss Yang and Boss Ye had never interacted with each other for decades, but Ye Chen would visit Old Master Yang during the latter’s birthday banquets.
However…
This conversation was too strange. Cheng Anya could not describe it. She vaguely felt a suffocating frustration deep in Third Young Master Ye’s heart.
“Old Master Yang, may I introduce my female partner, Ms. Cheng Anya, to you.”
Old Master Yang looked at Cheng Anya and his face suddenly changed.
