Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 451: Chapter 447 Accident (Second Update, Subscription Requested)

Ye Chen’s words brought a silence to the scene.

It could be said that Ye Chen was very domineering.

Especially the aura he exuded made many people present feel the pressure of an authority figure.

Actually, although Ye Chen was ostensibly pressing Wang Ziming, people felt there was nothing wrong with it.

After all, Ye Chen could have developed this Dou Video project on his own without giving Wang Ziming a penny.

But Ye Chen didn’t do that, which showed that his character was very good.

Moreover, Ye Chen’s actions were quite impressive.

I openly tell you if you don’t agree to cooperate with me, I’ll develop it myself, and yet you have no choice.

This is strength.

The several big shots present all secretly nodded.

That someone as young as Ye Chen could be so domineering and ruthless, no wonder he had amassed so many ventures in his early twenties.

Such a person can only be befriended, not offended!

Regarding Ye Chen’s behavior, although somewhat domineering, no one could say anything against it.

After all, the business world is inherently full of deceit and betrayal, with big fish eating small fish.

Such things happen too frequently in the business world.

Moreover, Ye Chen put everything on the table, showcasing both his confidence and his ability.

Many people remembered Ye Chen’s name.

This young man was truly terrifying.

Wang Ziming fell silent for a moment before finally nodding: ”Mr. Ye, I agree to your terms.”

After some thought, Wang Ziming finally relented.

The project’s concept was excellent, but doing it on his own would surely mean many detours.

With Ye Chen’s help, this project would undoubtedly succeed.

Upon hearing Wang Ziming’s response, Ye Chen nodded.

This young man was very smart and decisive, worth nurturing well.

Ye Chen smiled and said, ”Since Mr. Wang has agreed, indeed, a ten million investment is a bit small. I’ll add another forty million, making it fifty million in total, while the thirty-five percent share remains unchanged.”

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, the scene was once again stunned.

This was simply too domineering.

A direct investment of forty million.

It’s worth mentioning that even the few big shots present like Brother Ma and Brother Teng didn’t have the guts to invest so much in a project with an uncertain outcome.

Ye Chen wanted this effect, a combination of grace and force.

Sure enough, upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Wang Ziming’s face revealed an ecstatic expression.

Just now, he was indeed not feeling very comfortable, being coerced into signing after all.

However, with Ye Chen’s additional forty million, his dissatisfaction vanished instantly.

Now, all he felt was admiration.

Ye Chen’s ability to control people’s minds made the big shots present look at him even more favorably.

This young man was too intimidating.

First, a slap, then a sweet date; combining grace with force, the art of leading others was masterfully played by Ye Chen.

Wang Ziming also felt lucky for his choice.

With such a powerful backer like Ye Chen, how could the future Dou Video not flourish?

Wang Ziming even began envisioning a future where they went public and became a video giant.

Others might not know the value of Dou Video, but Ye Chen was very clear.

In the future, Dou Video would create a short video empire like Douyin, even advancing globally to become a unique video platform worldwide.

With the last project secured by Ye Chen, the startup conference also came to a close.

At this moment, even those big shots who previously looked down on Ye Chen flocked to him.

To these fair-weather people, Ye Chen merely exchanged a few polite words with a smile.

These people were not worth associating with, even to the point of saying that given Ye Chen’s status, they weren’t even qualified.

Afterward, there was a banquet.

This banquet was managed by the Mile Hotel, and Ye Chen could be considered the host.

Ye Chen was also very generous, directly announcing that he would cover the cost of this dinner.

The kitchen was extremely busy.

Li Xiangxiang was very nervous, as it was her first time organizing such a large banquet.

Moreover, she had just become the head chef, so she had to do well.

Li Xiangxiang prepared a dish of Kung Fu Abalone and said to her assistant, ”Send this dish to table number one.”

”Got it.” The assistant nodded.

At that moment, the assistant’s phone rang; he answered the call, then returned with a trolley to table number one.

”Everyone, this dish is Kung Fu Abalone.”

With that, the assistant served the dish.

However, when the dish was uncovered, everyone was stunned.

This wasn’t Kung Fu Abalone at all but a few rotten abalones with even some maggots crawling around.

The scene was filled with high-profile individuals, and seeing this dish, their expressions changed slightly.

Even a few ladies directly vomited.

Ye Chen immediately frowned, ”What’s going on?”

After all, he was the owner of the Mile Hotel, and having such a dish at his hosted dinner was as good as a slap in his face.

The assistant was also shocked, ”Boss, I don’t know. This isn’t the dish I was supposed to serve.”

Ye Chen coldly said, ”Take it down and serve new dishes. Make sure to properly supervise the remaining dishes.”

The assistant quickly took the dish away.

Ye Chen awkwardly said, ”Everyone, I’m truly sorry. There may have been a mistake in the kitchen affecting everyone’s appetite, and this matter will be thoroughly investigated and reported to you all.”

The atmosphere at the table was somewhat awkward.

After all, everyone seated was someone of status and seeing maggots in the food was simply intolerable.

However, everyone held back out of respect for Ye Chen.

After the banquet ended, Ye Chen sat in his office, his face cold as ice.

Li Xiangxiang’s assistant stood in front of Ye Chen.

”What exactly happened?” Ye Chen coldly asked.

The assistant trembled, ”Boss, I really don’t know. The dish I served was not made by Chef Li.”

”Then why was the served dish maggot-infested abalone?” Ye Chen coldly questioned.

”I don’t know either. The abalone was personally selected by Chef Li, and I was there. They were all top-quality and couldn’t possibly have maggots, plus I was around during the entire cooking process. I’m sure this dish was not made by Chef Li.”

After hearing the assistant’s words, Ye Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed, ”Is someone in the kitchen displeased since Xiangxiang became the head chef?”

”Of course, there is. Wu Bin went on strike the day he heard the news. He initially claimed sick leave, and later, for unknown reasons, came back and even incited other chefs against Chef Li.”

Ye Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed; he already knew who the culprit was.

Soon, Wu Bin was called to the office.

Seeing Ye Chen, Wu Bin was taken aback, not expecting Ye Chen to be so young.

However, a hint of a contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

No wonder Li Xiangxiang was promoted to head chef, turns out it’s because she’s pretty.

Wu Bin even concluded that there was definitely something between Li Xiangxiang and Ye Chen.

Seeing Wu Bin, Ye Chen faintly smiled, ”Master Wu, you’ve been with the Mile Hotel for about a decade, right?”

”Thirteen years?” Wu Bin with an air of seniority sat down on the chair, seemingly not taking Ye Chen seriously at all.
