Chapter 111

The two of them were in a mess, but they were still in a mess.

Matthew looked at Chen Ye in confusion and thought, "He is trying to recruit me. Doesn't he know that I am not the same kind of people as them?"

Chen Ye smiled and said to Matthew, "Although we are not the same kind of people, we all have a common goal, which is to make Hell's Kitchen better, right? There is no conflict."

It can be seen from the last time Matthew supported Lao Ma and Master Ye that he is not a stubborn person. As long as he can make Hell's Kitchen, his hometown, better, Matthew will do whatever it takes.

Matthew expressed his full agreement. Indeed, if it is for Hell's Kitchen, Matthew is very willing.

However, after some thought, Matthew decided to reject Chen Ye's invitation.

He raised his head, looked into Chen Ye's eyes, and said firmly: "Chen Ye, I am very grateful for your invitation. Your proposal makes me very excited. However, I still want to do it according to my own ideas. I believe that only by using my own way can I truly save those who need help."

Matthew's words surprised Chen Ye, but he did not give up.

He understood Matthew's persistence and stubbornness, but he also knew Matthew's current situation.

He stepped forward, looked into Matthew's eyes, and said seriously: "Matthew, I understand your thoughts, but I hope you can look at yourself now. Your life is already a mess, how can you have the energy to save others? You need to take care of yourself first, so that you can better help others."

Chen Ye disagreed with Matthew's concept very much. He had the ability to make his life better.

He was not doing well, but he still wanted to help others.

But in fact, no one would remember Matthew at all. All Matthew did was just to move himself.

Matthew was shaken by Chen Ye's words. He smiled helplessly and said, "Sometimes I really hate my incompetence. Chen Ye, we all want Hell's Kitchen to be better. You have saved the entire Hell's Kitchen."

"But I haven't changed anything. On the contrary, my life is getting worse and worse."

"Sometimes, I really hate my ability. I can hear strangers asking for help every night. I can't help but help. I tried my best, but I can't help everyone."

Matthew's words revealed a deep sense of powerlessness, as if he had fallen into the abyss of despair and couldn't extricate himself.

This sense of powerlessness also made Chen Ye feel a little helpless, but he knew that if Matthew didn't change his mind as soon as possible, he might continue to be depressed and eventually collapse completely.

Chen Ye took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound gentler. "Matthew, you are not wrong. You have saved many people, but this is far from enough. You have to change the environment."

"It's like you saved a demon in hell. The demon will not become an angel because of your rescue. Instead, it will be regarded as a heretic because it is incompatible with other demons. Heretics will be eliminated."

"Only when you turn hell into heaven can you have a chance to turn all demons into angels."

"One person can't save everyone. That's why you should join us."

Matthew raised his head and looked into Chen Ye's eyes. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Chen Ye continued: "Everyone here is working hard to make Hell's Kitchen better. You can see it yourself. Now Hell's Kitchen is getting better and better. This proves that our direction is right, so you should join us."

After listening to Chen Ye's words, Matthew has begun to recognize Chen Ye's words. Recently, he has rarely heard cries for help. On the contrary, he has heard a lot of laughter.

"Do I really have to continue to make mistakes?" Matthew couldn't help thinking in his heart.

Chen Ye saw Matthew's hesitation and said quickly: "It just so happens that Wanda has taken over Jin Bing's industry and needs a few lawyers. The newly opened school will inevitably have disputes with the government. You can handle these things."

"It just so happens that you can supervise Jin Bing's industry to see if there are any illegal activities. Isn't that good?"

Matthew listened to Chen Ye's words, and his inner tremor was like the ripples of a lake blown by the wind.

He has always believed that the path he has taken is correct, but now, he began to doubt whether what he has always insisted on is not completely correct.

Matthew looked at Chen Ye, who was much younger than him. He didn't expect that in the end, he, a lawyer, didn't understand as well as Chen Ye.

This made Matthew feel a little bit

Chen Ye admired this person.

He smiled and said to Chen Ye: "It would be great if you had appeared in Hell's Kitchen earlier." This sentence showed both appreciation for Chen Ye and regret for his past.

Matthew wished that he had lived in Hell's Kitchen managed by Chen Ye when he was born, then perhaps his life would not be as bad as it is now.

Chen Ye smiled and said to Matthew: "It's not too late now, right?" His tone was full of confidence and determination, as if to say that no matter when you start, as long as you have the heart, you can change everything.

Matthew was deeply moved by Chen Ye's words, and he felt that his heart began to change.

He stretched out his hand and said sincerely: "Then please give me more advice in the future, Boss. I will keep an eye on you to prevent you from becoming the second Kingpin."

In fact, before coming, Matthew had investigated Chen Ye for a long time. After this conversation, he also knew that Chen Ye was a partner worthy of fighting side by side. Although Matthew joined Chen Ye, he would still protect Hell's Kitchen in his own way.

Chen Ye held Matthew's hand, his eyes sparkling: "Welcome to join us, of course you can keep staring at me, I won't become Kingpin, I will only be Chen Ye."

His voice was firm and powerful, as if telling Matthew that he was a trustworthy person who would lead them to a better future.

Chen Ye continued to say to Matthew: "Then I will take you to pick a room first, and then you will report to Wanda tomorrow."

"Pietro, take this new partner up to pick a room." Chen Ye then called Pietro to take Matthew to familiarize himself with the environment and choose a room.

When Pietro took Matthew up the stairs slowly, in the corner of the restaurant, John Wick, a security guard who had been slacking off, couldn't help but come to Chen Ye's side, his face full of confusion and curiosity.

"Boss, why are you so caring for this blind man? Do you have any special feelings for the blind man?" John Wick asked bluntly.

The reason why John Wick was so curious was that he happened to witness the conversation between Chen Ye and Matthew while he was making wolfberry tea.

He had never seen Chen Ye so patiently persuade others, especially to a blind man he had never met before.

This caused strong doubts in his heart.

Chen Ye rolled his eyes at John Wick when he heard this question. He frowned slightly and said lightly: "I am not interested in men."

John Wick was even more confused after hearing this. He asked in confusion: "Then why did you help him and even invite him to join us?"

Chen Ye took a deep breath, and his eyes became deep and distant.

He spoke slowly, with a hint of imperceptible emotion in his voice: "I am just persuading another self."

After speaking, he turned and walked straight up the stairs, leaving John Wick standing there alone, like a walker in the fog, completely unable to understand the meaning of Chen Ye's words.

Chen Ye added in his heart: "Another self without a system and background, a self who is obviously living a difficult life but still maintains kindness."

The reason why he took such good care of Matthew was not only because Matthew was blind, but also because he saw his own shadow in Matthew.

He saw the self without a system and background, the self who still insisted on kindness in a difficult life.

The appearance of Matthew was just a small episode for Chen Ye, and Chen Ye was looking forward to the upgrade of the system tomorrow.

After all, Chen Ye was a person with a system. After all, Chen Ye was a person with a system. He knew the importance of the system and looked forward to the system upgrade to bring him greater convenience and advantages.
