Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

The girl pulled Ye Chen out of the house and walked straight into the elevator, ignoring her mother’s objections.

”Miss, can you let go of my hand now?” Ye Chen said awkwardly.

The girl released Ye Chen’s hand, rolled her eyes, and said, ”You’re clearly taking advantage of me, and yet you act like you don’t want to.”

”It’s not like I wanted this; you’re the one who initiated it,” Ye Chen replied nonchalantly.

The elevator reached the first floor, and Ye Chen and the girl walked out together.

Seeing that Ye Chen was about to leave on an electric bike, the girl stopped him in his tracks.

”Miss, I already helped you just now, and now I have to go deliver packages. I don’t have time to play with you,” Ye Chen said, looking at the girl.

The girl pouted, pretended to be aggrieved, and said, ”Since you helped me earlier, why not help me all the way?”

Ye Chen found this girl quite interesting: she treated a man she met for the first time as her boyfriend and even wanted to take him to meet a blind date.

Even TV dramas wouldn’t dare to be this bold, he thought.

”Miss, I want to ask you a question. If the person standing at the door just now was a garbage collector, would you have been so proactive?” Ye Chen asked with a puzzled expression.

”Stop pretending to be innocent after gaining advantage. If it weren’t for your good looks, I wouldn’t bother with you,” the girl replied, not amused.

Ye Chen chuckled and said, ”In that case, let’s each go our own way.”

Hearing that Ye Chen was about to leave, the girl laughed and said, ”Oh, I see, you’re afraid to meet my blind date. Well, it makes sense—he’s a returnee PhD, and you’re just a delivery guy. No wonder.”

The girl said this not to look down on Ye Chen but to provoke him a little.

After all, men love their pride.

Being provoked like this, Ye Chen got fired up as well: ”There’s no such word as ’fear’ in my dictionary. Besides, what’s so great about being a returnee PhD anyway?”

”Oh wow, since you’re so confident, why not meet him with me?” The girl saw that her provocation worked and quickly continued.

”I’ll meet him. Who’s afraid of whom?” Ye Chen said, smiling.

Seeing Ye Chen agree, the girl smiled and said, ”Hi, I’m Liu Tian. In front of others, you need to show that you’re not concerned about my age and would do anything for love. Don’t forget.”

Ye Chen also smiled and said, ”Hi, I’m Ye Chen. You must appear to love only me in front of others, no matter how excellent their conditions are; only I am in your heart. Got it?”

After the two of them settled their agreement, Ye Chen rode the electric bike, and Liu Tian sat on the back seat.

Zhao Zhe and Sun Peng were under the scorching sun, on their way to deliver packages.

When they saw the beauty behind Ye Chen, clinging to his waist, they both looked envious. How did Ye Chen get to have a beautiful girl with him?

While they struggled to ride their electric bikes through streets and alleys, sweating profusely.

On the road, Ye Chen suddenly asked, ”Liu Tian, where is your blind date taking place?”

”According to my mom, it’s at the Marriott Hotel,” Liu Tian said calmly.

Ye Chen wondered why it was always the Marriott Hotel, with so many upscale hotels in Modu, why choose this one?

Then he said to Liu Tian, ”Can I ask you a question?”

”Go ahead,” Liu Tian felt that since Ye Chen was willing to help her, answering a question wasn’t a big deal.

”From your looks and family background, you should have good prospects in a blind date. Besides, you mentioned that he’s a returnee PhD. So why bring me along?” Ye Chen asked.

Liu Tian replied, ”I, for one, am not superficial. My criteria for choosing a boyfriend aren’t about money but rather if we share common interests and are compatible.”

”Liu Tian, you haven’t even met the person yet; how do you know you’re incompatible?” Ye Chen asked again.

”I’ve seen his photos, and he’s not my type,” Liu Tian sighed.

Ye Chen thought that this woman belonged to the looks-focused club; she valued a man’s looks over his wealth.

Midway, Liu Tian’s phone rang: ”Tian Tian, I’ve already arrived. No need to rush.”

”What’s the hurry? Let him wait. Ye Chen, you don’t need to worry,” Liu Tian said with a look of displeasure.

Liu Tian knew that it must have been her mother calling the returnee PhD after she and Ye Chen left the house.

Initially, Ye Chen wasn’t in a hurry either; although the roads weren’t congested after the morning rush, it was still an electric bike, so speeding up wasn’t an option.

Ye Chen leisurely rode along the road, attracting the gaze of surrounding male drivers.

Seeing the beautiful and charming Liu Tian sitting on the back of the electric bike, holding tightly onto the delivery boy’s waist, some even started to talk.

”That delivery guy is lucky with women.”

”I drive a BMW, but my girlfriend isn’t as pretty.”

”Miss, how about riding my big Benz?”

Ye Chen and Liu Tian couldn’t hear these discussions, as they headed towards the Marriott Hotel.

Upon reaching the hotel entrance, Liu Tian’s phone rang again. Seeing the caller ID, it turned out to be from her mom.

Answering the call, her mother’s voice came through: ”Sweetheart, are you there yet? I’m telling you, this man is definitely better than that delivery guy.”

Due to the loud volume, Ye Chen overheard the middle-aged woman’s remarks.

Liu Tian awkwardly looked at Ye Chen and said, ”Mom, don’t meddle in my affairs. I like that delivery guy.”

”I bet you’re trying to drive me crazy. I’m telling you...”

The middle-aged woman didn’t finish before Liu Tian hung up the call.

Ye Chen found the girl’s courage admirable and looked at her with concern, saying, ”Aren’t you afraid your mom will punish you when you get home for treating her like that?”

”I’m not a kid anymore. I can make my own decisions about love,” Liu Tian replied nonchalantly.

Ye Chen imagined that Liu Tian’s mother would definitely be furious if she knew her daughter brought another man to the blind date.

Liu Tian saw that Ye Chen said nothing and smiled, saying, ”Don’t worry about me. Just remember what we talked about earlier.”

With that, the girl linked arms with Ye Chen as if they were a couple and headed towards the hotel.

Ye Chen didn’t refuse; he thoroughly enjoyed the moment. After all, having a beautiful girl linking arms would please any man.

The doorman saw the approaching man and respectfully greeted, ”Chairman Ye.”

Moreover, as they walked through the hotel, all the staff greeted Ye Chen, addressing him as ”Chairman Ye.”

After all, this is an advanced hotel. Liu Tian noticed the staff’s attitude towards Ye Chen and heard how they referred to him, making her somewhat skeptical.
