Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 622: Chapter 596: He Is the Most Suitable Candidate

Bai Tang couldn’t hold back his anger and said to Dai Ming, ”Dai Ming, you’re too much. President Ye has treated you very well, and yet you betray the hotel and make false accusations. What are your intentions?”

Dai Ming sneered, ”He’s been good to me? What a joke.”

Elder Chen from the Chefs Association said, ”Old Dai, you’re in the wrong here. We’ve inspected, and the hygiene here already meets the standards of a five-star hotel. Stop causing trouble without reason.”

Dai Ming snorted, ”I see, you must be in cahoots. You’ve all been bought by Ye Chen.”

Hearing Dai Ming’s words, Elder Chen also became displeased.

”Old Dai, please pay attention to your attitude when you speak.”

Ye Chen sighed from the side, ”President Bai, call the police.”

”Call the police?” Everyone was stunned upon hearing Ye Chen’s words.

Bai Tang nodded, ”President Ye, I told you, you can’t be lenient with this ingrate.”

With that, Bai Tang picked up the phone, ”I want to call the police. Our hotel’s former head chef is suspected of passing off the bad as good, embezzling hotel property.”

Dai Ming’s face changed upon hearing this, ”Ye Chen, what are you saying?”

Ye Chen replied calmly, ”What am I saying? You used your identity as head chef to order expensive ingredients, then bought them cheaply from other channels and passed off the bad as good. Initially, I let it go because you’ve been with the hotel for many years. Since you take my kindness for granted, don’t blame me.”

”You’re speaking nonsense.”

Ye Chen laughed coldly and said directly to Bai Tang, ”Call the purchasing manager.”

Seeing the purchasing manager, Dai Ming panicked completely.

The purchasing manager detailed how Dai Ming passed off the bad as good and embezzled company property.

After listening, Elder Chen’s face was grim, ”Dai Ming, your actions are despicable. I hereby declare you’re expelled from the Chefs Association.”

At that moment, several police officers entered the office.

Bai Tang handed over the evidence to the police, and Dai Ming was taken away.

His embezzlement amounts to over ten million, likely he’ll spend his days in prison.

After dealing with the Tianbao Hotel situation, Ye Chen drove to pick up Su Wanyi.

The two of them have been getting closer since their last trip to Sanya.

However, when the car reached near the film city, suddenly there was a traffic jam.

This road has always been smooth, why is there a jam now?

Ye Chen got out of the car to check the situation.

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over, looking at Ye Chen’s Cullinan.

”Young man, how much does this car cost?”

”Not much, tens of millions maybe.”

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, the middle-aged man was at a loss for words.

Not much? Tens of millions.

This guy sure has a big mouth.

Ye Chen curiously asked, ”Is there an accident ahead or something, why is it so jammed?”

”No, there’s the film city ahead, a crew just moved in, and both female leads are quite famous, so lots of people gathered, causing the traffic jam.”

At this moment, Director Li Jie of the ’Palace Locking Heart Jade’ crew frowned.

The whole crew was surrounded by excited fans.

Mostly because Tong Xiaoya has been too popular recently, and Yang Mimi is also a celebrity.

Originally, they were here for scene scouting but ended up being stuck on the road due to fans.

Tong Xiaoya anxiously said, ”Please don’t gather here, it’s a road, it’s very dangerous.”

Yang Mimi also said, ”Look, the cars are jammed on the road, your actions are already hindering traffic.”

But the fans didn’t care, snapping photos with their phones.

Tong Xiaoya and Yang Mimi were helpless.

They tried their best, but the fans had no intention of leaving.

Moreover, the crowd was increasing.

Realizing their persuasion was fruitless, Yang Mimi and Tong Xiaoya went back to their shuttle bus.

Director Jia Rui asked, ”The fans still won’t leave?”

Yang Mimi and Tong Xiaoya shook their heads, ”Yes, it seems we’ll have to call the traffic police to resolve it.”

Jia Rui was staring at the script in a daze, looking troubled.

”Director, what’s the matter? Are you worried about the male lead?” Tong Xiaoya asked.

Jia Rui nodded, ”The Eighth Prince character is too crucial, so I must find the right person to play it.”

Jia Rui fell in love with the script at first sight.

Hence, she was determined to make a classic film.

The female lead was chosen long ago, but she still hadn’t found anyone suitable for the Eighth Prince despite trying many.

Since this role was very important, Jia Rui was unwilling to settle for just anyone.

Therefore, the role of the Eighth Prince remained unfilled.

Tong Xiaoya and Yang Mimi understood Director Jia’s meticulous approach to filmmaking and said nothing.

”Can’t we use the traffic idol Han Han recommended last time?” the assistant director suggested.

”No, though he’s handsome, he’s too effeminate, not fitting the Eighth Prince’s bold and passionate character.” Jia Rui shook her head.

”However, our film is only missing this character; if we drag it on any longer, the investors might not be pleased.”

Jia Rui said, ”My principle is either don’t shoot or ensure it’s a classic.”

Seeing Director Jia’s conviction, the others dared not press further.

Jia Rui sighed, wondering why there wasn’t a single actor suitable for the Eighth Prince?

Shaking her head, Jia Rui decided to randomly pick someone from the list of recommendations.#

After all, they couldn’t delay any longer.

At this time, Ye Chen drove and came near the shuttle bus.

Feeling too stuffy driving, Ye Chen opened the window and looked outside.

Coincidentally, Jia Rui glanced in Ye Chen’s direction.

Seeing Ye Chen’s profile, Jia Rui’s heart skipped a beat.

Ye Chen’s side features were extremely handsome, his demeanor was extraordinarily distinguished, like an immortal.

”He’s precisely the Eighth Prince I’ve been seeking.”

Upon seeing Ye Chen, Jia Rui was moved to the core.

Just then, under the traffic police’s guidance, the cars began to move slowly.

Watching Ye Chen drive away, Jia Rui urgently grabbed the intercom.

”Assistant Director Li, stop the Cullinan ahead, do anything to stop him.”

Jia Rui had a gut feeling if this young guy were the Eighth Prince, the show would be a hit.

His aura perfectly matched the Eighth Prince.

Both his looks and charisma were impeccable, making it seem like the role was tailor-made for this young man.

Earlier, she considered settling for a random traffic idol because there wasn’t anyone suitable, but now she realized Ye Chen was exactly what she needed.

Watching Ye Chen drive away, Jia Rui was frantic.

She feared Ye Chen would drive off.

She knew if Ye Chen left, finding him again would be challenging.

Everyone else was stunned by Jia Rui’s excitement, and all eyes were on the Cullinan.

Tong Xiaoya and Yang Mimi also looked at the car, recognizing the license plate seemed familiar.

”Ye Chen?” Tong Xiaoya and Yang Mimi exclaimed almost simultaneously.

Both finally understood that the person Director Jia went crazy for was Ye Chen.

However, Yang Mimi and Tong Xiaoya felt Ye Chen perfectly fit the image of the Eighth Prince.

With his looks and aura, it was no wonder Director Jia was so excited.
