Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Capítulo 764: Chapter 738: Difficult to Refuse

Suddenly, a smell wafted out, making Xiao Zhang look embarrassed.

Ye Chen and Zhang Dafu quickly covered their noses.

At this moment, Little Wang also walked out of the bathroom, his expression turned blissful.

Looking at Little Wang, Xiao Zhang was helpless, thinking that if he had come out earlier, this embarrassing situation wouldn’t have happened.

“Xiao Zhang, hurry up and wash yourself,” Zhang Dafu said, covering his nose with disgust.

With his head lowered, Xiao Zhang hurried to the bathroom, not caring about the pungent smell inside, and rushed to clean himself up.

But the problem was he had no spare clothes to change into; getting in was easy, getting out was hard.

Looking at the blissful look on Little Wang’s face, Zhang Dafu asked, “What’s with you two today, fighting over the bathroom?”

Seeing their situation, Zhang Dafu was also a bit puzzled.

Before Little Wang could speak, Ye Chen chimed in, “They must’ve eaten something unclean outside.”

“Is that so?” Zhang Dafu asked skeptically.

“Yes, that’s right,” Little Wang answered against his conscience.

Then, he glanced at Ye Chen beside him, wondering how he seemed completely unaffected.

But he was miserable, feeling drained since yesterday afternoon.

Seeing Ye Chen’s mischievous smile, Little Wang understood the truth: Ye Chen hadn’t drunk the water from the dispenser.

Moreover, Ye Chen had schemed to make him and Xiao Zhang drink water laced with laxatives.

Thinking this through, everything made sense.

Ye Chen patted Little Wang’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Take better care of yourself in the future, don’t always eat from street vendors, look how you’re suffering now.”

“Thanks for your concern, Brother Chen, I’ll be careful in the future,” Little Wang said, though he was seething inside, he maintained a smiling face.

Watching Ye Chen leave, he clenched his fist audibly.

Seeing no one paying attention to him, Xiao Zhang had no choice but to come out wearing his previous clothes.

“Brother Wang, I can’t take it anymore, if this keeps going I’ll lose half my life,” Xiao Zhang said with a pained expression.

Smelling the unpleasant scent nearby, Little Wang quickly covered his nose and said bluntly, “So stinky, get away from me.”

Knowing he was disliked again, Xiao Zhang wisely moved aside.

By now, Zhang Dafu had already retreated to his office, unable to tolerate the smell outside.

“I never thought we’d be outsmarted by Ye Chen,” Little Wang said, looking in Ye Chen’s departing direction.

Xiao Zhang said skeptically, “How is that possible, only you and I know about this, how would he know we spiked the drinking water with laxatives?”

“I don’t know, it’s just…”

Before Little Wang could finish, Xiao Zhang continued, “Ye Chen clearly drank the water, yet he’s fine, whereas we both fell for it.”

“Though I don’t know why Ye Chen was unaffected by the water, from our situation, it’s clear he outfoxed us,” Little Wang explained.

It was possible that street-side stalls weren’t hygienic.

Yet yesterday, to celebrate deceiving Ye Chen, the two of them had deliberately chosen a somewhat upscale restaurant.

Thinking about it, Ye Chen was the most suspicious.

The more Little Wang and Xiao Zhang talked about it, the angrier they became, realizing they had shot themselves in the foot.

“Ye Chen, this isn’t over, just wait and see,” Little Wang said venomously, his eyes flashing with resentment.

All morning, Ye Chen had delivered numerous parcels but still hadn’t received any system rewards.

Suddenly, he remembered that Fan Ying had called yesterday saying Mrs. Fan’s surgery was moved up.

Ye Chen pulled out his phone and dialed Fan Ying’s number, “Xiaoying, how’s Auntie now?”

“Brother Ye Chen, I was just about to call you, the surgery has been scheduled for tomorrow night,” Fan Ying said excitedly.

Previously, at the General Hospital, the attending physician had mentioned the success rate of this surgery was around fifty percent, and the patient might not survive the operation, and what’s worse, it could only happen in a month.

But even so, she wanted to take the chance, at least to avoid any regrets.

After transferring to Ren’ai Hospital, her worry lessened significantly due to the top-notch medical team here.

When she heard from the director that the surgery could be moved up, she finally felt some relief.

All thanks to Ye Chen’s efforts; without his help, Fan Ying would still be worrying about the surgical fees.

“That’s good, take good care of Auntie, I’ll visit the hospital this afternoon,” Ye Chen said.

“Brother Ye Chen, you don’t need to come; I’m here, and Dad’s coming tonight to help me take care of Mom,” Fan Ying said quickly.

She felt she had troubled Ye Chen enough already and didn’t want him to go out of his way, as it would make her feel even more indebted.

Ye Chen chuckled and said, “Don’t worry about it.”

After hanging up, Ye Chen felt a bit hungry, so he went to a fast-food restaurant, deciding to fill his stomach first.

While eating, his phone suddenly rang.

Answering, Ye Chen said, “President Zhou, what’s up?”

“Chairman Ye, a friend sent me some fruit and I wanted to bring you some, considering you’ve been looking after my business,” Zhou Kai said with a smile.

Ye Chen replied, “You don’t have to be so polite, after all, you and Old Chen are friends.”

“Chairman Ye, where are you now? I’ll deliver it to you. It’s nothing expensive, just a little treat,” Zhou Kai said eagerly, not wanting to miss this chance to curry favor with Ye Chen.

Seeing how enthusiastically Zhou Kai offered, Ye Chen found it hard to refuse and said with a smile, “President Zhou, where are you? I’ll come find you, it seems inappropriate to make you come all the way since you’re always so busy.”

Just earlier, Ye Chen was planning to buy some fruit at a fruit shop since visiting a patient empty-handed didn’t seem right.

Now it seemed he wouldn’t need to buy anymore since he had fresh ones ready.

“Alright then, I’ll do as Chairman Ye says; I’m at the company.”

“Okay, I’ll see you soon,” Ye Chen said before hanging up, heading toward Zhou Kai’s company.

At this moment, Zhou Kai had already been waiting for a while downstairs at his company; after all, with Ye Chen coming personally, it was improper to have him go upstairs.

Seeing Ye Chen, he waved and said, “Chairman Ye, don’t get out, let me put the fruits in your trunk.”

“Alright, thank you,” Ye Chen said with a smile.

After placing the fruits, Zhou Kai stood beside the car and said, “When you get a chance, Chairman Ye, I’d like to treat you to a meal.”

“Okay, we’ll arrange it when I return, and really, you don’t need to be so formal with me,” Ye Chen said with a smile.
