Fang Qiang asked, ”Elder Wu, do you mean that the little brother’s translation earlier was completely correct?”

”Yes, yes, not a single word was missed. Even I can’t translate it this accurately. Elder Fang, you must introduce me to this young man.”

”Alright, alright, thank you, Elder Wu. I will definitely introduce you two when I have the chance.”

After hanging up the phone, the atmosphere in the meeting room was extremely awkward.

Just now, these so-called experts were all mocking Ye Chen.

But now, it was proven that Ye Chen’s translation was entirely correct.

Kong Xu was even more dumbfounded.

How is it possible? Isn’t he just a DiDi driver? How could he know such ancient texts?

Elder Fang tightly grasped Ye Chen’s hand: ”Mr. Ye, thank you so much. This is a breakthrough in our archaeological history.”

Ye Chen smiled and nodded: ”No problem, it’s pretty simple. Anyone with a bit of culture can understand it.”

The many experts present: ”...”

Elder Fang glared at Kong Xu: ”Kong Xu, aren’t you going to apologize to Mr. Ye?”

Just now, Kong Xu was jumping around questioning Ye Chen as a fraud. Now that Ye Chen’s translation was proven correct, he naturally had to apologize.

Kong Xu’s face turned ashen. Although reluctant, he still came in front of Ye Chen: ”Ye Chen, I’m sorry.”

Ye Chen scratched his ear: ”What did you say? I didn’t hear it.”

Elder Fang kicked Kong Xu: ”Did you not eat?”

For his apprentice’s behavior just now, Elder Fang was also very displeased.

Luckily, Ye Chen was magnanimous; if he got upset and left, they would have missed a great one.

Kong Xu gritted his teeth and said loudly: ”Ye Chen, I was wrong.”

To admit his mistake in front of so many experts and peers to a DiDi driver was an utter humiliation for him.

Ye Chen patted Kong Xu on the shoulder: ”Hey, ignorance isn’t scary; what’s scary is being ignorant and still blabbering. Next time, if you don’t understand, don’t blabber. Learn your lesson.”

With that, Ye Chen smiled lightly and turned to leave.

Fang Qiang quickly said: ”Mr. Ye, I wonder if you’d be interested in joining our archaeological research institute. We offer a very high salary.”

Hearing Fang Qiang’s words, everyone couldn’t help but sigh.

This brother is so lucky, getting Elder Fang’s appreciation, directly turning from a DiDi driver into a civil servant with boundless prospects.

Kong Xu also frowned upon hearing this.

After graduation, he wanted to stay at the archaeological research institute, but Elder Fang said he wasn’t qualified enough to stay, and unexpectedly, Elder Fang invited Ye Chen this time.

A DiDi driver directly got a steady job, and they all thought Ye Chen couldn’t possibly refuse.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Ye Chen shook his head: ”Sorry, I’m not interested. My dream is to become a DiDi driver who gets a Five-Star Review every day.”

Everyone: ”...”

Li Rongrong escorted Ye Chen to the door.

”Ye Chen, thank you so much this time.”

Ye Chen smiled lightly: ”It was just a small effort. It’s strange how these guys call themselves experts yet can’t understand such simple inscriptions.”

Li Rongrong: ”That’s because it’s simple for a genius like you. These experts have been researching these inscriptions for an entire day and night!”

Ye Chen sighed, ”Ah, these so-called experts... truly live up to their name.”

Li Rongrong needed to continue participating in academic discussions, while Ye Chen continued driving DiDi.

After completing two runs, Ye Chen’s phone rang.

The call was from Chen Wan.

”President Ye, where are you?”

”President Chen, what’s up?”

”I just bought some crystal grapes from overseas. These are picked from desert areas and airlifted over; you must eat them within forty-eight hours, or they’ll spoil. I’ve prepared a box for you.”

”President Chen, you’re too kind.”

”It’s deserved. This time our company’s project was all thanks to President Ye, and this is just a token of my appreciation.”

Ye Chen said, ”I’m near the company, so I’ll come over now.”

Arriving at the company entrance, Chen Wan personally carried a big box and put it in the trunk.

”President Ye, you must eat these grapes soon. To be honest, these grapes are super expensive, each costing five to six hundred kuai.”

”Mmm, President Chen, you’re very thoughtful.”

Ye Chen was about to drive home to give some grapes to his parents when he received a call from Li Yuanyuan’s father.

”Hello, is that Uncle?”

”It’s me, Yuanyuan, thank you, Ye Chen.”

”Oh, you’re awake?” Ye Chen said happily.

”Yes, I’ve heard all about it. I owe it all to you. By the way, I transferred back to Modu Ren’ai Hospital; it’s closer to home and more convenient.”

”Really? I’ll come over to see you now.”

Ye Chen arrived at the hospital and took two bunches of grapes from the box to the ward.

Li Yuanyuan was recovering very well.

Ye Chen smiled and said, ”These are grapes a friend just gave to me. Wash them and have some; they’re really tasty.”

Li Yuanyuan gratefully said, ”Ye Chen, thank you. I owe you so much.”

Ye Chen shook his head: ”You helped me out in the past too, so let’s just call it even.”

Hearing Ye Chen’s words warmed Li Yuanyuan’s heart: ”Ye Chen, I heard you’ve started a company. I’ll come work for you when I’m better. I won’t take a salary as a form of repayment.”

Ye Chen couldn’t help but laugh: ”Silly girl, I’m not short of money now. If you work here, you’re very welcome, and rest assured your salary will be top-notch.”

Li Yuanyuan’s parents were also immensely grateful to Ye Chen, and after chatting for a while, Ye Chen said, ”Uncle, Aunt, I still have to drive DiDi, I’ll come back to see Yuanyuan later.”

Before leaving the hospital, Ye Chen specifically sought out Li Yuanyuan’s attending physician, Dr. Li, asking him to take good care of Yuanyuan.

Dr. Li, knowing Ye Chen is a major shareholder, nodded repeatedly: ”Mr. Ye, don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of Miss Yuanyuan.”

Just as Ye Chen left, a middle-aged woman on the bed next to Li Yuanyuan coldly snorted, ”It’s really unfortunate to share a room with poor people.”

Li Yuanyuan’s transfer to the hospital was temporary, and Modu Ren’ai Hospital beds were in tight supply, so they were in a shared room.

But the fellow patient in this room was a nouveau riche, who, relying on having some family money, looked down on Li Yuanyuan’s family.

She constantly mocked and ridiculed, and if it weren’t for Li Yuanyuan’s family’s good nature, arguments would have broken out long ago.

Li Yuanyuan frowned, just about to react, but her mother stopped her: ”Yuanyuan, let’s bear it for now, you’ll be discharged soon, let’s not cause trouble for Ye Chen.”

At that moment, the middle-aged woman’s daughter came in with some fruit.

”Mom, I bought Southeast Asian lychees for you, they were just airlifted this morning, and this handful costs more than 600 yuan.”

The middle-aged woman smirked with pride: ”Did you see? The lychees my daughter bought came from abroad. Hmph, those grapes you have must have been bought at the hospital entrance by that guy, yet you treat them like a treasure. Poor people, even a lousy grape is treated as something special.”

Just then, the door to the ward opened, and Dr. Li came in with a nurse for rounds!

Seeing Dr. Li, Li Yuanyuan’s mother quickly said: ”Dr. Li, please have some grapes, I just washed them.”

The middle-aged woman snorted coldly: ”How dare you offer that garbage grape to Dr. Li? Dr. Li, have my lychees, they are airlifted from Southeast Asia, very sweet.”
