After checking in at the Administration Building, Lai Qing Hua had been waiting for Ye Chen to contact him.
When he came to Jinling this time, he knew that he did not have the financial strength to compete with these top tycoons, so the only purpose of his visit to Jinling this time was to meet Ye Chen.
Therefore, when Richard Chen contacted him, he said without thinking, “Please tell Young Master Ye that I am waiting for him at any time.”
Hearing this, Ye Chen did not delay and directly asked Chen Zekai to take him to the administration building and to Lai Qing Hua’s room.
As soon as they met, Ye Chen said respectfully, “Old Mr. Lai, we meet again.”
Lai Qinghua hurriedly bowed his hands while bowing, and said respectfully, “Young Master Ye, I am saluted!”
Ye Chen was busy reaching out to a*sist him and said under his breath, “Old Mr. Lai is too polite, how can I accept your great salute!”
With a straight face, Lai Qing Hua said, “Young Master Ye, your destiny is already above mine, and you have benefited me, so it is only right for me to bow to you.”
After saying that, he hurriedly said to Ye Chen, “Young Master Ye, please come in and talk!”
Ye Chen nodded and turned to Chen Zekai, “Old Chen, I will have a few words with Old Mr. Lai, you may go back first.”
Chen Zekai said respectfully, “Okay Young Master.”
After saying that, he also said to Lai Qing Hua, “Old Mr. Lai, junior will leave first.”
Lai Qinghua arched his hand at him, “Take care, Mr. Chen.”
After Chen Zekai left, Ye Chen followed Lai Qinghua and walked into the room he had checked into.
It was an executive luxury suite, with an area of over two hundred square metres, and the living room alone took up nearly one hundred square feet.
At this moment, on the coffee table in the living room, there was already a purple sand tea set, and in addition to that, there was also an incense burner made of bronze.
Lai Qing Hua invited Ye Chen to sit down on the sofa, while he himself boiled water to prepare the tea, and took out a palm-sized piece of wood, then used a delicate silver knife to gently scrape some powder off the piece of wood.
He then took out a set of exquisite copper tools and first used them to flatten and compact the incense ash in the incense burner, and then poured the powder scraped off the wood on top of the incense ash and used the tools to press it into a lotus shape.
Ye Chen recognised the set he was using, which was the famous seal incense.
Most of the people who like to burn incense directly buy processed incense or incense, but there are still some sophisticated people who like to make their own seal incense.
Most of the incense used is made from the trimmings of incense wood or sandalwood, which is considered waste and not too costly.
However, what Lai Qing Hua used was a large piece of sinkhorn wood, which surprised Ye Chen quite a lot.
This was because the price of a large piece of sinkhorn wood was still very expensive in the market, much more expensive than gold if the price was calculated by gram weight.
If such a piece of incense wood was carved into a Buddhist image such as a Buddha, Bodhisattva or Doumu, it could be sold for at least a few hundred thousand dollars to start with.
At this moment, while using a match to ignite the seal incense pressed into the shape of a lotus flower, Lai Qing Hua said to Ye Chen with a smile, “Young Master Ye, you should not be repelled by the smell of incense, right?”
Ye Chen smiled faintly, looking at the wisps of smoke that rose into the air, and also smelling the unique fragrance of the incense when it was ignited, he felt extraordinarily relaxed and said, “Mr. Lai is really elegant. ”
When she was alive, she was said to have spared no effort in promoting traditional Chinese culture in the United States, and many American high society ladies were proud to follow her example. The price of this incense in America has more than quintupled within a year.”
