Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 121: Chapter 120: Why Didn’t You Remind Me (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

Ma Jincheng was a bit confused.

What kind of person is the Chairman? He’s a big shot in the business circle, so why is he so respectful to Ye Chen?

Wu Peng glanced at Ma Jincheng: ”Jincheng, why didn’t you tell me President Ye was here? President Ye is the esteemed client I have been waiting for.”

”Ah!” Ma Jincheng was instantly dumbfounded.

Wu Peng said: ”Mr. Ye, these are all your friends, right?”

Ye Chen nodded: ”Yes, they’re all my classmates, we came here to gather together.”

”Very well, since everyone here is Mr. Ye’s classmate, all the expenses today are on me. Enjoy your food, drinks, and have fun.”

Hearing the Chairman’s words, Ma Jincheng’s face was full of embarrassment.

Is the world going crazy? How could our boss be so respectful to someone who drives for DiDi?

Ma Jincheng felt completely bewildered.

I’m at least a Ph.D. who studied abroad, originally thinking I could make a triumphant return this time, but unexpectedly, I was still outclassed by Ye Chen.

Most importantly, Ye Chen is just a DiDi driver!

Upon hearing Wu Peng’s words, the classmates all became excited.

Just now, Ma Jincheng had been bragging for ages, but everyone was merely watching the spectacle.

No matter how impressive you are, what does that have to do with us?

But now that there’s something tangible, everyone was naturally happy.

Many classmates were actually annoyed by Ma Jincheng’s bragging earlier.

Look at Ye Chen.

He may be low-key, but no matter where he goes, big shots pop up to flatter him.

What does it mean to be impressive? It’s nothing if you have to say it yourself; the best kind of impression is one that others unconsciously create for you.

The classmates applauded enthusiastically.

”Thank you, Chairman Wu.”

Wu Peng, being a veteran in the business field, smiled and said: ”This is all in consideration of President Ye. I didn’t expect you to be so lucky, having such an impressive classmate. I’m so envious of you all. Look at me, I have to work hard to win over President Ye.”

Though it was a joke, it highlighted Ye Chen’s impressiveness and credited these benefits to Ye Chen, genuinely helping him enhance his image.

Wu Peng was very shrewd. Although he spent a little money today, he knew that if he could cling to Ye Chen, the benefits would be far more significant.

On the side, Ma Jincheng’s face was ashen.

The surrounding classmates were also quietly amused.

Last time it was Feng Tao, and this time another show-off, King Bi, Ma Jincheng, got slapped in the face.

”Haha, showing off in front of Ye Chen is practically asking for it.”

”It kills me, someone actually wants to find a job for Ye Chen.”

”Haha, and uplift Ye Chen too.”

Ma Jincheng paused for a moment, suddenly sensing something.

It seemed everyone knew how impressive Ye Chen was, except him.

A bit disgruntled, Ma Jincheng said to Feng Tao: ”You guys are so unhelpful, why didn’t you tell me earlier how impressive Ye Chen was? You made me look so awkward, almost offending Mr. Ye.”

Feng Tao had an innocent look: ”It’s not that I didn’t want to say it, you just didn’t give me a chance. The whole way you were just bragging, I couldn’t even get a word in.”

Tian Lili said: ”I reminded you just now; didn’t I say Ye Chen is doing quite well now?”

Ma Jincheng: ”...”

He hurried to the chairman: ”Chairman Wu, I really didn’t know you were looking for Mr. Ye. I’m sorry, Chairman Wu.”

Wu Peng waved it off: ”Alright, step aside, I still need to discuss things with President Ye.”

Actually, as a classmate, Ma Jincheng should accompany them.

But from a distance earlier, Wu Peng had also heard Ma Jincheng mocking Ye Chen.

So, Wu Peng just pushed Ma Jincheng aside.

Ma Jincheng’s face was pale.

He knew that the chairman’s actions clearly indicated not intending to give him important tasks.

The more Ma Jincheng thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.

He could only stand there feeling lost.

He increasingly regretted it, wouldn’t it have been better to just focus on being the director? Why show off?

The classmates were eating, but they noticed Ma Jincheng wasn’t eating and just stood dazedly, looking towards Wu Peng and Ye Chen’s table.

Everyone helplessly shook their heads.

Another kid hurt from showing off.

As for the other classmates, they were even more shocked by Ye Chen.

This is too incredible.

Even the chairman of Rick Venture Capital is fawning over Ye Chen.

What exactly is Ye Chen’s identity?

Anyway, the classmates understood that Ye Chen is a big shot.

This kind of big shot can’t be provoked, can’t be provoked.

At that moment, Feng Tao approached Ma Jincheng, patted him, and said: ”Jincheng, don’t be upset, Ye Chen is a legend in our class. It’s okay if you get a little humbled. Look, I’ve been humbled before too. Know your place, don’t show off for no reason next time.”

...

In the evening, Wu Peng invited Ye Chen to dinner.

Their location was the VIP guest restaurant at Yunlong Villa.

The huge bay window offered a full view of Yunlong Lake.

Ye Chen sat in the main seat, while Wu Peng and his secretary sat below.

”Seeing you today, President Ye, it’s truly a pleasure. I offer you a toast.”

Ye Chen picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

”Thank you, Chairman Wu, you’re being too polite.”

The two were chatting when a few people walked into the guest hall.

One of them, upon seeing Ye Chen, lit up.

”President Ye, my secretary told me she saw you, but I didn’t believe it. Sure enough, you’re here.”

It was Chen Wan from Wan Tai Group who walked in.

”President Chen, what a coincidence.”

Seeing Chen Wan, Wu Peng also quickly stood up.

Wan Tai Construction Company, a leading enterprise in Modu’s real estate construction industry, had shared meals with him before.

Unexpectedly, Ye Chen’s circle was so wide, he even knew Chen Wan.

”Old Chen, how come you knew Brother Ye and didn’t introduce us earlier?”

”Haha, weren’t you secretly inviting Brother Ye to dinner without calling me?”

The two old foxes exchanged a knowing smile, their intentions simple—to ingratiate themselves with Ye Chen.

Chen Wan was also unceremonious and sat down at Ye Chen’s table, offering a toast to Ye Chen.

”Chairman Ye, I salute you.”

Hearing Chen Wan address Ye Chen as ’Chairman,’ Wu Peng took a sharp breath.

Chen Wan was already impressive, but Ye Chen turned out to be the owner of Wan Tai Group.

The level of impressiveness went up another notch.

For Ye Chen, Wu Peng became even more respectful.

Wu Peng said in astonishment: ”Brother Ye, I know you’re a major shareholder of the Yida Group and the owner of Modu Mansion and Modu Commercial Street, now you’re also Chairman of Wan Tai Group, how many identities do you have?”

Ye Chen smiled lightly: ”Actually, those are just honorary titles; my real identity is just a DiDi driver.”

Wu Peng: ”...”

Chen Wan: ”...”

This guy’s ability to keep up a façade is too strong.

Obviously, a big shot, yet always pretending to be a DiDi driver.

Any one of Ye Chen’s ventures could earn several tens of billions annually.

Undoubtedly a tycoon worth over a trillion.

Even in front of Ye Chen, Wu Peng and Chen Wan felt like nobodies.

Most importantly, Ye Chen was too young; at such an age, to possess so many impressive ventures, how could one not be awestruck?
