588 I Didnât Recognize You
After hearing the words of the Chinese boss, the shock on the sistersâ faces deepened. Although they did not know how to carve, they could tell how exquisite and beautiful the ukulele carved by their younger brother from coconut meat was.
They were already very shocked by their little brotherâs carving skills, but after hearing the bossâs words, they were even more shocked. One could imagine how terrifying his carving skills were when a boss offered a high price to sincerely hire him.
After all, there was a saying that good wine needs no bush, and that gold would always shine. Powerful people had a stage wherever they went.
When Ye Xuan heard this, he was about to reject him when another Chinese CEO suddenly came in from outside.
This CEO was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He had a beard and looked about the same age as this Chinese boss. They were both in their forties or fifties.
After the boss entered the shop, the Chinese CEO also noticed the boss, so he went forward to welcome him respectfully and greeted him warmly.
âCEO Chen, youâre here so early today. It seems that the recent project is going very smoothly.â
From these words, one could tell that this Chinese person was a regular here. He looked like he was working on a project nearby.
âThanks to you, Boss, the project has been going quite smoothly recently. Thereâs nothing serious. Iâm also a little more relaxed. Today will be the same. A serving of steak and a bottle of red wine will do. For the side dishes, Iâll have two roasted potatoes with vegetables to try.â
The Chinese CEO spoke politely. Then, he glanced around the shop and prepared to find a suitable seat.
The Chinese boss nodded and waved at the attendant behind him.
âGive CEO Chen his usual. Change the side dishes to roasted potatoes. Make the potatoes softer.â
After saying that, he turned to look at CEO Chen and smiled.
âThere are really many interesting things in the shop today. I wonder if CEP Chen saw it. Thereâs a young master who carved a ukulele with coconut meat over there. It looks extremely exquisite and lifelike. Itâs like a real ukulele. Itâs really shocking.â
âIâve been here for so long, but Iâve really never seen anyone who can carve a ukulele out of coconut meat. I didnât expect to see them as soon as I came to the shop today. Moreover, CEO Chen, guess what? That young master is a seven or eight-year-old child! Heâs sitting there. I really donât know how such a young child carved a ukulele. Heâs simply a genius!â
As the Chinese boss spoke, a shocked expression appeared on his face again. He felt like cold sweat was about to break out.
After all, to be honest, Ye Xuanâs craftsmanship was unheard of. He had never seen or heard of it before. Even internationally famous sculptors needed a lot of time to carve a ukulele out of coconut meat. Moreover, the tools had to be complete and there might be mistakes.
Without decades of cultivation, one really would not dare to take on this job. In contrast, Ye Xuanâs hands were like a machine from the beginning to the end in ten minutes. He did not stop or make any mistakes. Even the details were handled very well. They did not look like a humanâs hands at all!
The feeling Ye Xuan gave off was too shocking. It was so shocking that the Chinese boss didnât dare to believe it. It directly shattered his worldview, making his entire body go numb.
After CEO Chen heard the Chinese bossâs words, he revealed a curious expression and smiled.
âIs there such a thing?â
Then, he followed the Chinese bossâs hand. He looked at the ukulele and Ye Xuanâs face.
Instantly, his expression became tense and he stood rooted to the ground. He looked at Ye Xuan tightly as if he was thinking about something and was in a daze.
At this moment, after the Chinese boss finished speaking, he came to Ye Xuan and invited him again.
âHow is it, little friend? Donât worry, you will definitely be satisfied with the price I offer. Moreover, the job is very easy. You can carve some novel things when you have nothing to do. You can place them in the shop to solicit business. Other than that, you donât need anything else. You can come and go as you please. Work is also very easy. What do you think of this condition? You can consider it.â
After the Chinese boss finished speaking, CEO Chen came over and looked at Ye Xuan in surprise and shock.
âChairman Ye?! Itâs really you, Chairman Ye! I didnât expect to meet you on Summer Island. Itâs my honor!â
As he spoke, CEO Chen reached out and shook Ye Xuanâs hand warmly with a smile on his face.
Ye Xuan also smiled. He didnât expect to meet a CEO who knew him here, but he didnât say anything. He smiled and shook CEO Chenâs hand.
âIâm just accompanying my sisters here to do something and play on Summer Island. Itâs nothing serious.â
CEO Chen smiled. At this moment, the Chinese boss was a little confused. He did not know why CEO Chen was so respectful to the little kid in front of him and even called him Chairman Ye.
He couldnât help but look at CEO Chen and ask curiously.
âCEO Chen, who is this?â
âThis is Chairman Ye Xuan of the Dinglong Corporation, a leading company in China. Chairman Ye must have the ability and technology to make such carvings.â
CEO Chen also answered the Chinese boss solemnly. His tone was very respectful.
When the Chinese boss heard CEO Chenâs explanation, his pupils constricted and his expression grew tense. He looked at Ye Xuan in disbelief.
He didnât expect such a young child like Ye Xuan to be the chairman of the Dinglong Corporation, the leading company in China. What kind of concept was this?! This was simply the most shocking thing he had heard so far!
While he was shocked, he recalled his speech to offer a high price just now. He was instantly embarrassed and ashamed.
After all, the chairman of the Dinglong Corporation was worth hundreds of billions. Would he lack this money? That was simply a joke! It was the biggest joke in the world!
He immediately smiled and shook Ye Xuanâs hand.
âSo itâs Chairman Ye. I failed to recognize you. Please donât blame me. This meal is on me.â
Ye Xuan smiled and didnât say anything. He stood up and handed the ukulele carved from coconut meat to the Chinese boss.
âTake it. Itâs useless for me to take it. Just treat it as payment for our meal.â
When the Chinese boss saw this, he stretched out his hands and gently took it. He smiled and looked at Ye Xuan cautiously.
âAiyo, thank you, Chairman Ye!â
With that, he carefully carried the ukulele to the counter and gently wiped the moisture off it with a tissue. In his mind, he was also thinking about how to frame it, where to hang it in the shop, and what slogans to write.
