Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1053 - 1028: Meeting the Empress

Beethoven bowed respectfully toward Ye Chen.

"Mr. Ye, I am deeply grateful. Without your assistance, I truly couldn't have composed this timeless masterpiece."

Ye Chen replied with a smile: "It's no trouble at all; this composition was always yours to create."

In truth, Beethoven would have eventually penned this work even without Ye Chen's involvement.

It might simply have required additional time.

Beethoven agreed with a nod: "This composition is extraordinary; I sense it could captivate the entire world."

Ye Chen nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I'm certain this piece will establish itself as an enduring classic."

"This evening, I plan to unveil this melody during the concert."

"I'm confident it will sweep across the globe."

Beethoven declared with excitement.

Ye Chen gave an approving nod.

Certainly, this melody had already secured its place as a piano legend.

"Best wishes," Ye Chen said with a grin.

"Mr. Ye, would you kindly remain to witness my rendition?"

Ye Chen nodded: "Absolutely."

Just then, a knock echoed from beyond the door.

Beethoven swung the door open, revealing a woman adorned in opulent attire, accompanied by several middle-aged gentlemen in formal tailcoats.

"Mr. Beethoven, the Queen has arrived to meet with you."

Ye Chen's eyes shifted to the Queen.

The Queen wore a magnificent gown topped with a regal crown.

Her bearing instantly revealed her as the reigning Queen of the era.

During this period, the United Kingdom dominated as the global superpower.

The English monarch stood as the most influential female figure worldwide.

Ye Chen had previously encountered articles about the Queen.

Yet this marked his first personal encounter.

One must concede that the English Queen possessed graceful poise and stunning allure.

Ye Chen inwardly praised the incredible potency of the external delivery traversal system.

It allowed him to encounter numerous iconic figures from history.

The Queen spotted Ye Chen in that instant as well.

She had previously observed individuals from the East.

They typically sported queues and seemed overly reserved.

However, this young man before her exuded striking handsomeness, his gaze brimming with assurance.

Above all, Ye Chen's outfit was remarkably fashionable, particularly those mesmerizing and deep eyes that left her somewhat spellbound.

This young fellow was extraordinarily attractive.

The English Queen found herself utterly captivated by Ye Chen.

She inquired of Beethoven, "Who might this distinguished gentleman be?"

"Greetings, Your Majesty. I am Ye Chen, hailing from the East."

Even in the presence of the English Queen,

Ye Chen maintained a poised and balanced demeanor.

Hua Country now thrived as a prominent Eastern power, a far cry from the decadent Qing Dynasty of old.

Thus, Ye Chen showed no deference or timidity before the English Queen.

Instead, he radiated self-assurance.

Having interacted with countless historical luminaries, a mere English Queen held no intimidation for Ye Chen.

The Queen was taken aback by Ye Chen's composed and unyielding poise.

Under her sway, everyone typically lowered their gaze and acted subservient.

Men in her company would display flattering grins.

Yet Ye Chen stood apart; he was the initial male to remain so serene and steady in her vicinity.

Crucially, this Eastern gentleman was exceptionally striking.

In that moment, the attending ministers were dumbfounded.

Good heavens, how could an Easterner exhibit such boldness?

This diverged completely from the Easterners they had known.

Incredibly, that nation harbored such a magnetic individual.

At that point, the Queen's attention drifted to the tabletop.

There sat the iced coffee Ye Chen had procured for Beethoven.

Beethoven explained: "Esteemed Queen, this is known as iced coffee, a gift from Mr. Ye originating from far-off Hua Country."

"What?" The Queen hesitated briefly.

In reality, as she stepped inside, a delightful fragrance had wafted toward her.

This aroma stemmed from the coffee itself.

To her surprise, the enigmatic ancient Eastern land produced such tantalizing treats.

As monarch, she had sampled countless beverages, but iced coffee remained unfamiliar.

Ye Chen noted the Queen's keen interest and felt a touch of amusement.

The present Queen appeared to be in her early twenties.

Confined to palace life, her nature retained a youthful, princess-like innocence.

Such a delectable brew was bound to entice her.

Ye Chen offered: "If it appeals to you, Your Majesty, please enjoy this cup of iced coffee."

In fact, Ye Chen had initially obtained the coffee for his own consumption.

But upon reflection, he could easily visit Starbucks for another.

The Queen, however, faced a singular opportunity to savor it.

Joy surged within the Queen as she heard this.

She promptly lifted the iced coffee.

After a tentative sip, her features registered utter astonishment.

Amazing, this iced coffee tasted utterly divine.

The East proved remarkably wondrous.

"This beverage must be reserved solely for your emperor, correct?" The Queen asked impulsively.

After all, a drink of such excellence surely demanded unique preparation techniques.

Such skills would elude the common folk.

Ye Chen, though, offered a subtle smile: "In our land, everyone can partake in something like this."

"What? Even ordinary folks can enjoy it?"

The Queen exclaimed in shock.

Ye Chen confirmed with a nod: "Yes, it's available to everyday people as well."

"Heavens, this ancient Eastern realm is truly phenomenal; a beverage of such supreme quality is accessible to the masses."

To consider that she, as Queen, had never indulged in anything so exquisite.

Her eyes now reflected profound amazement.

This ancient Eastern land was genuinely astonishing.

"Hello, Mr. Beethoven, your performance is about to commence."

A staff member announced at that juncture.

Beethoven nodded with assurance.

The party proceeded to the Royal Grand Theater.

Ye Chen joined the Queen in the VIP area.

Beethoven ascended the stage and offered a bow toward the Queen.

At this juncture, the audience noticed an Eastern individual seated next to the Queen.

Curiosity gripped the crowd.

Who was this Eastern figure?

To claim a seat beside the Queen.

Numerous aristocrats seethed with envy.

Though titled as dukes, they lacked such privilege.

Moreover, they observed the Queen gazing at Ye Chen with evident affection and esteem.

Good grief, how could this be.

This Eastern gentleman had enchanted the Queen.

...

Meanwhile, the nobles below whispered fervently.

In particular, those aristocrats harboring affections for the Queen transformed into bitter rivals.

The noble ladies, too, found themselves enchanted by Ye Chen's appeal.

Ye Chen was simply too captivating.

Admittedly, nobility included handsome figures.

But encountering one like Ye Chen was unprecedented.

Ye Chen felt a bit frustrated; logically, the delivery task was fulfilled.

Yet the system provided no notification.

For now, he resigned to sit by the Queen and absorb the music.

Then, piano notes began to resonate.

A harmonious melody filled the Royal Grand Theater.

Upon this sound's arrival,

All attendees froze in awe.

"Goodness, this melody is utterly enchanting."

"Such passionate tunes; I'm completely absorbed."

The assembly marveled at the exquisite music performed by Beethoven.
