Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 277: Chapter 274: You’re Not Qualified to Fire Me

Half an hour later.

The Ding family was filled with continuous cries of pain.

Ding Shi was holding a stick and took out his phone.

”Is this President Ye?” a respectful voice came from the phone.

”Who is this?” Ye Chen asked.

”I am Ding Shi, Ding Bo’s father.”

”Oh? What’s the matter?” Ye Chen was a bit surprised.

Could it be that he’s looking to settle scores for hitting his son?

”Mr. Ye, I’m really sorry, it’s my fault I didn’t raise my son well. My son was too arrogant and offended you. I’ve already given him a good beating.”

As he spoke, Ding Shi’s stick came down again.

”Wah... Dad, stop hitting me, if you keep it up my leg will break.”

Ding Bo’s wailing came through the phone.

Ye Chen knew Ding Shi was disciplining his son, so he said, ”The reason for this is that your son set his sights on Tong Xiaoya. He drugged her and tried to take her to a hotel, but I encountered him and took him straight to the police station.”

”Mr. Ye, thank goodness for you. Without you, my son would have been doomed this time.”

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Ding Shi gasped in shock.

Tong Xiaoya’s background is not simple, she has some big names backing her up.

If something like that happened, that big name wouldn’t let Ding Bo off the hook either.

You could say Ye Chen saved Ding Bo’s life.

As he spoke, sounds of the stick hitting a body sounded again from the other side.

”You little brat, how dare you lie to me? Do you know who Tong Xiaoya is? You dared to mess with her? If I don’t give you a good lesson today, will you try to break the sky?”

Another wave of wailing sounded from the other side.

After a few more hits, Ding Shi said, ”Mr. Ye, our Ding family owes you a big favor. Regarding my son’s matter, I ask for your lenience.”

Ye Chen listened and smiled slightly, ”It’s okay, just a kid, but I hope nothing similar happens in the future.”

”Mr. Ye, rest assured, something like this will absolutely not happen again.”

Ding Shi handed the phone to Ding Bo.

”You little brat, personally apologize to your Uncle Ye.”

From the painful groans on the other side, Ye Chen knew Ding Bo had been beaten quite harshly this time.

”Uncle Ye, please forgive me. My dad almost beat my butt to shreds. I promise I won’t do bad things again in the future. Let me go, please.”

”Alright, tell your dad I forgive you,” Ye Chen said casually.

At this moment, Ding Shi took back the phone.

”Mr. Ye, you’re a savior to our Ding family. If you ever need anything from me, just say the word.”

”Alright.”

The call ended, and Ye Chen knew that after this beating, Ding Bo would definitely behave.

Ye Chen returned to Hua Mansion.

Lin Wanrou was already asleep.

Ye Chen received a call from Xu Lang.

”Boss, our game’s design is near completion. We’re conducting internal tests now, and if there are no issues, we can start mass production.”

”Alright, keep up the good work. If there are any technical problems, feel free to contact me anytime.” Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Ye Chen was quite satisfied with this pace of development.

The next morning, Lin Wanrou prepared breakfast for Ye Chen.

After breakfast, Lin Wanrou reported to Ye Chen, ”Young master, we’ve acquired over twenty manufacturing plants nationwide for VR equipment production.”

”Alright, by the way, do we have any manufacturing plants near Modu?” Ye Chen asked.

Lin Wanrou nodded, ”The Su Family’s factory is in the suburbs of Modu.”

”Okay, I’ll go check the progress of the development.”

With the game in internal testing, the next step was the equipment.

The equipment was just as important as the game.

Ye Chen decided to take a look himself to be reassured.

Lin Wanrou gave Ye Chen an address, and he drove straight to the factory.

At the factory entrance, the factory director Li Cong was already waiting for Ye Chen.

”Hello, Mr. Ye. Welcome and thanks for your guidance.”

Ye Chen smiled, ”I’m not here to guide, just to take a look.”

Li Cong led Ye Chen around the plant.

At that moment, a batch of goods arrived, and Li Cong needed to inspect them.

Ye Chen smiled, ”President Li, please go ahead, I’ll look around the workshop myself.”

Li Cong nodded and turned to leave.

Ye Chen then walked into the workshop.

Because of the workshop’s regulations, Ye Chen wore a worker’s uniform.

Entering the workshop, the workers were producing VR parts.

Ye Chen wandered around, noting that the workers had a serious attitude, and the workmanship was pretty good. Overall, Ye Chen was quite satisfied.

”Ye Chen, why are you at our factory?”

Seeing the person before him, Ye Chen was a bit startled.

This guy used to drive DiDi too, and they had once shared some barbecue skewers.

”Why are you here? You stopped driving DiDi?” Ye Chen asked.

”Sigh, I had no choice. My car’s lifespan ended, so I came here to try it out.” Wang Long said.

”Oh, I see.”

Ye Chen looked at Wang Long, and suddenly the talent scanning software displayed Wang Long’s information.

”Wang Long, Gold Level designer, skilled in process and technical drawing design.”

”By the way, were you originally a design student?” Ye Chen asked, a bit surprised.

Wang Long let out a bitter laugh, ”Yes, I studied design, and later worked at a design institute. But after I saw the boss harass female colleagues, I hit the boss and got fired.”

Hearing Wang Long’s background, Ye Chen was also taken aback.

Turns out Wang Long was exactly the designer he was looking for.

The two were chatting when suddenly a cold voice rang out.

”What are you two doing? Who allowed you to chat during work hours?”

Upon hearing the voice, Wang Long’s expression changed, ”Uh-oh, it’s Zhou Bapi. Ye Chen, hurry back to your post. If Zhou Bapi catches you, you’re done for.”

Ye Chen, however, was unfazed, ”It’s fine.”

Just then, a middle-aged man in a work uniform walked over, ”Wang Long, who let you chat during work hours? Your bonus this month will be fully deducted.”

Wang Long was furious.

Wang Long had always been meticulous about his work.

Wang Long’s wife was hospitalized, and the medical expenses were very high.

So, Wang Long worked tirelessly day and night.

Now the hospital was pushing for payment again, and with this deduction of five hundred bucks, it was an added misfortune for Wang Long.

Ye Chen saw this and his expression turned cold, ”You’re the workshop director, right? Wang Long may have chatted with me for a bit, but it didn’t affect his work. To deduct his bonus like this is too excessive.”

The workshop director looked Ye Chen up and down, not recognizing him, and sneered, ”Kid, you just got here, do you have any place to speak? Let me tell you, in this workshop I’m the king, I can deduct anyone’s pay.”

Ye Chen was a bit speechless, ”What’s so impressive about being a workshop director? Do you think this factory belongs to you?”

The workshop director didn’t expect a newcomer to talk back to him and immediately sneered, ”Kid, no matter who referred you, I’m telling you now, you’re fired.”

Hearing the workshop director’s words, Ye Chen suddenly laughed.

”Sorry, you’re in no position to fire me.”
