Bam!

The door of the Ah-Di store was pushed open, and a woman in an office lady uniform along with several people in suits walked in.

The manager was startled to see who had walked in; it was actually the high-level executives from Ah-Di.

”President Tian, why are you here?” The manager’s expression suddenly changed.

Tian Wanqing didn’t even look at the manager and went straight to Ye Chen.

”Director Ye, I am Tian Wanqing, President of Ah-Di in Hua Country.”

Ye Chen was now the third-largest shareholder of Ah-Di, and also a board member, so referring to him as Director Ye was appropriate.

The manager’s face turned pale with fright upon hearing Tian Wanqing addressing Ye Chen this way.

Director Ye?

Could it be that what Ye Chen said was true?

Ye Chen pointed at the old grandpa and the little boy and said, ”This old gentleman wants to buy a pair of Ah-Di shoes as a birthday gift for his grandson, is there anything wrong with that? Yet your store clerk and manager tried to kick them out. I want to know if this is our rule, that people visiting Ah-Di must have status or power?”

Tian Wanqing frowned and said, ”Director Ye, I’m sorry, it was our oversight.”

Ye Chen said coldly, ”There’s no problem with firing such a manager and clerk, right?”

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, the manager and the clerk who had driven away the old man and child suddenly changed their expressions.

Tian Wanqing looked at the two of them coldly and said, ”Manager Chen, you and your clerk are fired, settle your wages immediately.”

Manager Chen’s face changed instantly. He never imagined that because he looked down on others, he would lose his job.

After all, it had taken him five years to work his way up from an employee to a manager.

”Director Ye, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have looked down on people, please forgive me.” Manager Chen pleaded bitterly.

Ye Chen pointed at the slogan in the showcase: ”Ah-Di’s mission is to do our utmost to ensure that everyone who loves sports has the right to exercise. If you don’t even understand this basic mission, what are you doing as a manager? You’re not fit to be an Ah-Di employee.”

Saying this, Ye Chen picked out a pair of soccer shoes, a set of Hua Country’s national soccer team uniform, and an Ah-Di soccer ball, ”Little friend, it’s your birthday today, these are gifts from your uncle and aunt, I hope you can one day become a member of the national team and bring glory to the country.”

The boy’s eyes filled with tears, ”Thank you, uncle, I will definitely try hard.”

The old grandpa also held Ye Chen’s hand, ”Mr. Ye, thank you, my grandson has loved playing soccer since he was young, he never had soccer shoes, and tomorrow he has a match. Also, today is his birthday. Thank you for making his dream come true.”

Seeing this scene, everyone was moved.

Even some onlookers broke into applause.

After sending off the old man and the little boy, Tian Wanqing said nervously, ”Director Ye, I’m also responsible for today’s matter. I’m willing to forfeit a month’s bonus as a penalty.”

Ye Chen shook his head, ”Punishment is secondary, I don’t care about other companies, but for Ah-Di, once customers walk through the door, they are gods, whether they are rich, ordinary, or poor.”

”Yes, yes...”

A social media influencer happened to be in the store buying Ah-Di sportswear, capturing the entire scene on video.

The video immediately went viral.

”Thumbs up for this conscientious Ah-Di executive.”

”Ah-Di did great with this; I’m a loyal fan now.”

”Making sure everyone who loves sports has the right to exercise—I love it.”

”That domineering CEO is so handsome, I’m totally in love.”

...

Despite Ye Chen usually keeping his charm value at the lowest, he still fascinated many women.

Ye Chen and Su Wanyi left the Ah-Di store.

Su Wanyi laughed, ”Ye Chen, you’re so compassionate. You were really handsome just now.”

”Haha, just average. I can’t stand those who discriminate against migrant workers and look down on the lower class, not realizing that anyone who lives by their labor is worthy of respect in society.”

Su Wanyi looked at Ye Chen and smiled, ”Ye Chen, I think you’re different from other wealthy people.”

Ye Chen smiled, ”How am I different?”

Su Wanyi said, ”Many people, once they have money, think they’re above others, they think they’re social elites full of arrogance, but you always give off an ordinary vibe.”

Ye Chen wore a proud expression, ”Of course, I’m a DiDi driver after all.”

At this moment, the two walked past a western restaurant, and Ye Chen smiled, ”I’ve heard this is the most expensive western restaurant in Modu, let’s indulge a bit.”

Su Wanyi nodded, ”Then today I must really feast on you.”

The two entered the western restaurant and had just ordered when a young man approached.

Seeing the young man, Su Wanyi frowned.

”Why is this pesky guy here...”

Ye Chen didn’t need to be told to know that trouble was coming.

Su Wanyi said, ”This guy is called Cao Le, the eldest young master of the Cao Family in Modu. Don’t let his refined appearance fool you, he’s a very devious person, be careful dealing with him...”

Before Cao Le came over, Su Wanyi briefly introduced his background.

Ye Chen smiled faintly, ”Don’t worry, the person who can take advantage of me hasn’t been born yet. I have a lot of experience dealing with such playboys.”

Su Wanyi laughed, ”Really? Then I’ll be looking forward to the show.”

Cao Le, seeing Ye Chen and Su Wanyi chatting and laughing at the table, couldn’t help but frown.

In Modu, everyone knew he had a liking for Su Wanyi.

In the previous years, studying abroad had reduced his contact with Su Wanyi, but before that, he used to pester her frequently.

Now seeing Su Wanyi so close to a stranger, a tinge of jealousy surged in his heart.

”Wanyi, what a coincidence, I just returned to the country, planning to go to your home to find you and here you are.”

”Yes, just having a casual meal with a friend.” Su Wanyi said indifferently.

Cao Le looked at Ye Chen with a smile, not revealing any hostility on his face, and asked very elegantly, ”I’m Cao Le from Modu, may I know your name?”

”Ye Chen, Su Wanyi’s boyfriend.”

Ye Chen introduced himself very straightforwardly.

Hearing Ye Chen’s introduction, Cao Le was taken aback, not expecting this guy to be so direct.

”Wanyi, having a boyfriend and not telling me, that’s not fair.”

Cao Le was a bit surprised and more curious about Ye Chen.

Who exactly is this guy? How could he win the affection of the Ice and Snow Queen, Su Wanyi?

It’s known that many rich second-generations in Modu had pursued Su Wanyi, but none had succeeded.

He was also among them.

Cao Le asked with a smile, ”Brother, you look unfamiliar, where do you work?”

”I’m just a DiDi Brother.”

After all, Cao Le had been smiling all along, although Ye Chen could sense the hostility from him.

However, since the other party was very scheming and didn’t show it on his face, Ye Chen also responded with a smile.

A hidden danger behind a smile, Ye Chen knew this type of man was the hardest to deal with!
