804 Respect your decision

Different from the modesty and seriousness of other young people in the Lin family, Lin Xi's sudden playfulness and frivolity shook Ye Chen. However, before Ye Chen could respond.

A young member of the Lin family immediately followed.

"Sister Xi, what are you talking about! What do you mean by Mr. Ye? Xiaochen is from our Lin family, his last name is Lin!"

As these words came out.

The Lin family members quickly focused their attention on Ye Chen.

Even Mr. Ye, who was teasing little Youyou, was stunned and couldn't help but glance over there out of the corner of his eye.

Obviously, everyone in the Lin family cared very much about Ye Chen's next answer.

After all, Ye Chen, who had been separated from the Lin family for thirty years, has now returned. Under such circumstances, the Lin family certainly hopes that Ye Chen can formally return to his ancestral home and change his surname back to Lin.

Feeling the focus of everyone in the Lin family.

Ye Chen smiled faintly and shook his head, "Don't be so rigid about that. Mr. Ye is what outsiders call me. Sister Xi can just call me Xiaochen!"

Hearing this.

-The expressions of the Lin family members were complicated.

Because Ye Chen's name "Mr. Ye" is used by outsiders...it seems to reveal another meaning.

"Xiaochen, since you have already recognized your parents and everyone in our Lin family, do you plan to change your surname and identity back?" The aunt said at that time.

"I don't think it's necessary yet!" Ye Chen blurted out. "Huh? Not necessary?" The girl frowned.

Many members of the Lin family also looked at him with doubt.

"First of all, I don't want my true background to be known to the world. Secondly, I don't want to cause trouble to the Lin family. After all, my reputation is not so good in the eyes of many people. There are still many people who use malicious speculation to lead the rhythm about my history of making a fortune and the source of my assets. If everything related to me and the Lin family is known to everyone, it is inevitable that the Lin family will be pushed to the forefront and attacked by public opinion. So I don't think it's necessary to think about changing the name for the time being!" Ye Chen said tactfully.

He had long anticipated that the Lin family would want him to change his surname.

But on this issue, he did not intend to cater to the Lin family.

Besides, the name Ye Chen has been with him for thirty years. If he suddenly changes his name, it would not just be a simple change of title. There are too many things involved... and he does not want to make it so troublesome.

Furthermore, if he changed his name and his true identity was announced to the public, not only would the Lin family be thrust into the spotlight, but Ye Chen would also have to face a host of unnecessary troubles.

Therefore, changing his surname has never been something he considered. Maybe in the future, but definitely not now.

"Although my Lin family doesn't care about public opinion or being at the center of controversy, I still respect your decision. If you don't want to change it, then don't change it for now!" Lin Chaoyang on the side thought about it and finally responded.

"Then we must hold a recognition ceremony in Sijiu City. At least we have to let the noble families in Sijiu City know that Xiaochen is Third Uncle's biological son and a blood descendant of our Lin family, right?" said another young member of the Lin family.

"Xiaochen, what do you think?" Lin Chaoyang nodded and looked at Ye Chen.

Little did he know that Ye Chen still shook his head, "Forget it, the so-called recognition ceremony is not very meaningful. To put it bluntly, it is just a formality. For me, it is enough to know my origins. I don't want to be too noticed! Besides, if the recognition ceremony is held in the Forty-Nine City, then it is no different from announcing it to the world!"

"Well, then let's do as the old man said and respect your choice!"

Seeing that Ye Chen seemed to have made up his mind long ago, Lin Fengxue, as a father, did not force him.

At that time.

With Lin Fengxue and Lin Chaoyang both expressing their views in this way.

The Lin family members didn't know what to say anymore.

"Xiaochen, Yinuo, in order to welcome you and also have a family dinner, the old man has instructed the kitchen to prepare the food. Now that it's almost time, let's all move to the dining room first!" Liu Hui said with a smile.

"Yes, I almost forgot about this. Let's go and eat first!" The old man realized it later and walked forward to pat Ye Chen's arm and said with a smile.

Then the old man spoke.

The Lin family just moved to the restaurant.

The large table that could seat more than 40 people was filled with people sitting in a circle.

Among all the daily conversations showing concern for each other.

Ye Chen, Chen Yinuo and Ye Youyou became the protagonists of today.

The Lin family not only did not look down on or make things difficult for Chen Yinuo, who came from an ordinary family, but they were so warm and friendly that Chen Yinuo forgot to be nervous the entire time.

As the wine has passed three rounds and the dishes have five flavors.

My fourth uncle, who serves as the chairman of a state-owned enterprise with assets of hundreds of billions, suddenly spoke up.

"By the way, Xiaochen, I heard that you raised 30 billion for a company called Thunder Express. Is that true?"

As soon as I heard this topic.

Everyone in the Lin family fell silent, and all eyes were once again focused on Ye Chen.

"Yeah, that's right!" Ye Chen nodded and responded with a smile.

"Can I ask what you think? Why do you want to raise funds for such an express delivery company? You should know that the domestic express delivery market... to put it nicely, it is already saturated, and to put it bluntly, it has been completely monopolized by the Ali-affiliated SF Express and JD. Under this industry background, would it be a good choice for you to raise funds for Thunder Express, which was established not long ago? Yes, I also know that Duan Haobo, the founder of Thunder Express, is famous in Southeast Asia and is one of the four great men in the Southeast Asian express delivery industry. However, the Southeast Asian market is different from the domestic market, and the market situation in Southeast Asia is even more different from the domestic market situation. Therefore, no matter how successful Duan Haobo was in Southeast Asia in the past, it does not mean that he can replicate the success in Southeast Asia in China. I believe you know these better than me, right?" said the fourth uncle of the Lin family.

"Uncle, what you said makes sense, so this is a big gamble for me!

Ye Chen paused and said seriously, "It is true that the domestic market situation is different from that in Southeast Asia, but Thunder Express's ambition and development plan give me the interest and confidence to take a gamble!" "How do you mean?" Fourth Uncle asked curiously.

"Since you, Fourth Uncle, know something about Duan Haobo and Southeast Asia's Jiying Express, you should also know that Jiying Express had made some arrangements in the domestic market before, in order to conquer the domestic market one day!" Ye Chen asked.

Fourth Uncle nodded in response. He knew something about this. Ye Chen continued, "Duan Haobo was one of the founders of Jiying Express. When he left Jiying Express, he exchanged part of his shares for the entire layout of Jiying Express in China. So when Duan Haobo returned to China to establish Leiting Express, he did not start from scratch, but held the entire layout of Jiying Express in the past few years. Although it cannot be compared with SF Express and STO Express, at least to some extent, it can be regarded as backed by a basic base!"
