588 I Didn’t Recognize You
After hearing the words of the Chinese boss, the shock on the sisters’ 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 brother’s carving skills, but after hearing the boss’s 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.
“CEO Chen, you’re here so early today. It seems that the recent project is going very smoothly.”
From these words, one could tell that this Chinese person was a regular here. He looked like he was working on a project nearby.
“Thanks to you, Boss, the project has been going quite smoothly recently. There’s nothing serious. I’m 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, I’ll have two roasted potatoes with vegetables to try.”
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.
“Give CEO Chen his usual. Change the side dishes to roasted potatoes. Make the potatoes softer.”
After saying that, he turned to look at CEO Chen and smiled.
“There are really many interesting things in the shop today. I wonder if CEP Chen saw it. There’s a young master who carved a ukulele with coconut meat over there. It looks extremely exquisite and lifelike. It’s like a real ukulele. It’s really shocking.”
“I’ve been here for so long, but I’ve really never seen anyone who can carve a ukulele out of coconut meat. I didn’t 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! He’s sitting there. I really don’t know how such a young child carved a ukulele. He’s simply a genius!”
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 Xuan’s 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 Xuan’s 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 human’s hands at all!
The feeling Ye Xuan gave off was too shocking. It was so shocking that the Chinese boss didn’t dare to believe it. It directly shattered his worldview, making his entire body go numb.
After CEO Chen heard the Chinese boss’s words, he revealed a curious expression and smiled.
“Is there such a thing?”
Then, he followed the Chinese boss’s hand. He looked at the ukulele and Ye Xuan’s 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.
“How is it, little friend? Don’t 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 don’t 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.”
After the Chinese boss finished speaking, CEO Chen came over and looked at Ye Xuan in surprise and shock.
“Chairman Ye?! It’s really you, Chairman Ye! I didn’t expect to meet you on Summer Island. It’s my honor!”
As he spoke, CEO Chen reached out and shook Ye Xuan’s hand warmly with a smile on his face.
Ye Xuan also smiled. He didn’t expect to meet a CEO who knew him here, but he didn’t say anything. He smiled and shook CEO Chen’s hand.
“I’m just accompanying my sisters here to do something and play on Summer Island. It’s nothing serious.”
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 couldn’t help but look at CEO Chen and ask curiously.
“CEO Chen, who is this?”
“This 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.”
CEO Chen also answered the Chinese boss solemnly. His tone was very respectful.
When the Chinese boss heard CEO Chen’s explanation, his pupils constricted and his expression grew tense. He looked at Ye Xuan in disbelief.
He didn’t 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 embarra.s.sed 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 Xuan’s hand.
“So it’s Chairman Ye. I failed to recognize you. Please don’t blame me. This meal is on me.”
Ye Xuan smiled and didn’t say anything. He stood up and handed the ukulele carved from coconut meat to the Chinese boss.
“Take it. It’s useless for me to take it. Just treat it as payment for our meal.”
When the Chinese boss saw this, he stretched out his hands and gently took it. He smiled and looked at Ye Xuan cautiously.
“Aiyo, thank you, Chairman Ye!”
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.
