Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 99: Chapter 099 Slapping Oneself

Ye Chen hung up the phone, and He Lei said with a sneer, ”Kid, you play this double act quite well. Keep pretending, I really want to see how long you can keep it up.”

Although Ye Chen had just made a phone call, He Lei still believed Ye Chen was just putting on a show.

Who was on the other side? Who knows.

Anyway, He Lei didn’t believe his father-in-law would know someone like Ye Chen, a nobody.

Even if he did know him, he was his son-in-law, would he really go against him for an outsider?

He Lei laughed, ”Weren’t you arrogant just now? Didn’t you want me to slap myself? Is that it? Just a little act to make me slap myself, you’re too naive.”

At that moment, He Lei’s phone suddenly rang.

He Lei frowned.

He was showing off, who would interrupt?

However, when he saw the caller, he felt pleased.

Haha, it’s a call from my father-in-law, now I will expose this fraud.

He Lei cautiously answered the phone, ”Dad, do you need something? By the way, let me tell you a joke, someone just pretended to talk to you on the phone and even complained about me.”

On the phone, Chen Wan’s angry voice immediately came through, ”You bastard, what on earth did you just do?”

He Lei was stunned by Chen Wan’s roar and said speechlessly, ”I didn’t do anything.”

”Didn’t do anything? Do you know you just offended a big shot?”

”Big shot? What big shot? I just had a conflict with some nobody,” He Lei said with an innocent expression.

”Nobody? Are you crazy? Did you just offend a young man?”

He Lei hesitated for a moment and glanced at Ye Chen.

His expression suddenly changed.

Yes, the other party was indeed a young man.

Could it be that this young man really had an impressive background?

Which means he really called his father-in-law just now.

Otherwise, why would his father-in-law be so furious with him?

But the other party was clearly just a nobody.

”Dad, is there some mistake here? Although I just had an argument with a young man, he was dressed in cheap clothes, clearly just a nobody, definitely not a big shot.”

”Bullshit, you better kneel and apologize to Chairman Ye right away.”

”What? Kneel and apologize?” He Lei thought he had misheard.

His father-in-law would actually ask him to kneel and apologize to a stranger in a public place.

”Dad, this is too much, right? I’m at least the deputy manager of Wan Tai Construction Company, how can I kneel to a nobody? And this is in a mall with many people watching.”

Chen Wan was about to go crazy.

He deeply regretted letting his daughter marry this fool.

This bastard often caused trouble, and now he’s offended Ye Chen, causing a huge disaster.

Now, his position as general manager was at risk because of this bastard.

Seeing the other shareholders looking at him as if they wanted to eat him alive, Chen Wan understood that if this situation wasn’t handled well, he might immediately be deposed by the shareholders.

On one side was his son-in-law, and on the other was his position as general manager.

A son-in-law can be replaced, but if the position of general manager is lost, it can never be regained.

Chen Wan said coldly, ”He Lei, if you don’t handle this matter well, get out of Wan Tai Construction Company and divorce my daughter immediately.”

”Dad, what did you say?”

He Lei was instantly dumbfounded.

He never dreamed that his father-in-law would be so ruthless, not only firing him but also asking him to divorce his wife.

”Dad, are you kidding me? Don’t do this, Dad, it was for Lili’s sake that I offended Mr. Ye.”

”Get lost, tell that girl if Chairman Ye doesn’t forgive her, I will disown her as my daughter.”

He Lei was completely stunned, unable to understand what kind of important person Ye Chen was to make Chen Wan not even acknowledge his daughter.

Chen Wan continued, ”He Lei, Mr. Ye is the chairman of Wan Tai Group. Our company depends on him for survival. You better find a way to gain Mr. Ye’s forgiveness, or with your past deeds, I can make sure you spend the rest of your life in prison.”

He Lei was completely terrified.

”Dad, don’t, I’m begging you.”

”Don’t beg me, find a way to beg Mr. Ye for forgiveness.”

The phone hung up, and He Lei was like a lost soul.

”Ah-Lei, what’s wrong?” asked the woman who had been arrogant just now, puzzled.

With a thud!

To everyone’s shock, He Lei suddenly knelt down.

What the hell does this mean?

Weren’t you very condescending when Ye Chen asked you to slap yourself?

Now you’re just kneeling?

Could it be because of that phone call?

Everyone looked at Ye Chen with eyes full of astonishment.

They couldn’t imagine what kind of power this young man held, making a deputy general manager of a company worth billions kneel.

”Hubby, what’s wrong? Why are you kneeling to this brat?” the woman looked at her husband in shock.

”Slap!” He Lei slapped the woman.

”It’s all your fault! Your dad said if we can’t get Mr. Ye’s forgiveness, he’ll disown you, and send me to prison.”

”What?” The woman was dumbfounded by He Lei’s words.

Tang Lu, standing nearby, was also stunned.

She never dreamed the situation would completely turn around like this.

The two people who had been so arrogant just now were now obediently kneeling in front of Ye Chen.

The onlookers were even more dumbfounded.

Wasn’t this middle-aged man very aggressive just now?

He was so condescending a moment ago, and now he’s so submissive.

He Lei regretted it thoroughly.

No wonder this young man was confident from the beginning.

Turns out he’s the chairman of Wan Tai Group.

He’s the one who controls the destiny of Wan Tai Construction Company!

What was I thinking, to provoke someone so powerful?

Now He Lei finally understood why his father-in-law was so angry.

If Ye Chen couldn’t forgive him, not only would he be done for, but even his father-in-law and the entire Wan Tai Construction Company would be doomed.

Thinking about all this, He Lei was drenched in cold sweat, trembling.

He knelt on the ground, his voice trembling, ”Mr. Ye, I’m sorry, I didn’t recognize your greatness, I know I was wrong, I’ll slap myself ten times right now.”

Seeing this, the crowd around them felt speechless.

They watched as He Lei wound up his arm and slapped his own face.

He slapped and scolded himself.

”I’m a bastard!”

”I’m an animal!”

The crowd shook their heads silently.

This guy was truly pitiful, hitting himself and degrading himself like this.

Some even took out their phones and shared this scene online.
