Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

The security captain felt sorry for the young security guard; although he was young, he wasn’t afraid of hardship or toil and was diligent and responsible. Such people were rare these days.

But what could he do? Even if he wanted to help, he didn’t have the authority.

Besides, he was struggling to protect himself and might get implicated.

At this moment, a junior employee walked out of the building and asked the security captain, ”Where is the guard who stopped the car just now?”

The security captain pointed to the nervous young guard beside him.

”Come with me, I’ll take you to complete the procedures,” the male employee said expressionlessly.

The young guard knew he couldn’t escape the fate of being fired and followed the male employee into the building with his head hanging down, resigned to his fate.

He thought to himself this was his first time entering the building, and he didn’t expect it to be the last.

Usually, he was stationed at the door and never had the chance to come inside the building.

The young guard had always dreamed of coming inside one day to have a look, but he hadn’t expected it would be on the day he was dismissed.

The male employee led the young guard to a spacious lounge. Seeing the people inside, the young guard became even more nervous.

Judging from their attire, he knew they were undoubtedly the leaders of the Group.

His eyes suddenly landed on Ye Chen, dressed in delivery attire, wondering what this young man was doing. Moreover, others showed him a respectful attitude.

”Hello, why are you standing at the door? Hurry and sit down,” Ye Chen said with a smile.

The young guard slowly moved, somewhat awkwardly, to sit on a chair opposite Ye Chen.

Seeing the young guard’s movements, the male employee quickly introduced, ”This is Chairman Ye of the Marriott Group. Say hello quickly.”

Upon hearing this, the young guard looked at Ye Chen again, filled with disbelief. In his mind, Group leaders should all be in suits, but the young man before him was obviously a deliveryman.

”Hello, Chairman Ye,” the young guard greeted politely.

”What’s your name?” Ye Chen asked with a smile.

”Chairman Ye, my name is Wang Tao,” the young guard responded nervously.

Ye Chen, looking at the very uneasy young guard, said, ”Wang Tao, do you know why I’ve called you here?”

Though Wang Tao was straightforward, he wasn’t foolish. He knew it was because of the incident involving stopping the car.

He was also aware that this was his last chance. Even if he was fired, he had to explain the situation.

”Chairman Ye, I was just following company regulations. The man driving the BMW wasn’t from the Group, but he claimed to know the Group’s leaders. I thought it wasn’t right to let him through. I don’t think I did anything wrong, but if you decide to fire me, I have nothing to say,” Wang Tao said, mustering his courage and explaining the situation.

Ye Chen looked at the upright young guard, feeling a deep connection in his heart, sensing that this person was very much like him, not fearing authority.

The Group should have more people like him if it wanted to develop well.

”Little Gao, go and get Captain Zhang for me,” Ye Chen instructed the male employee.

After the male employee left, Wang Tao said to Ye Chen, ”Chairman Ye, I’m responsible for what I do. Moreover, this incident has nothing to do with Captain Zhang; if someone has to be fired, then let it be me alone.”

Ye Chen smiled without saying anything.

Wang Tao also felt guilty towards Captain Zhang, who had often looked after him. Because of his own actions causing trouble for others, he felt uneasy.

”Captain Zhang, come with me,” the male employee, expressionless, said as Zhang Ming knew he was implicated.

He approached Ye Chen nervously, saying, ”Chairman Ye, it’s my fault for not educating them well, which led to today’s situation.”

Perhaps the male employee had already introduced the personnel in the lounge, so as soon as he entered, Zhang Ming greeted Ye Chen first.

”Captain Zhang, please sit,” Ye Chen said with a smile.

Zhang Ming felt like someone who had made a mistake and didn’t dare to sit.

”Chairman Ye, I’d better stand,” Zhang Tao said softly.

Ye Chen chuckled, ”No need to be nervous, please sit.”

This time, Zhang Ming sat beside Wang Tao, both looking tense, waiting for the final outcome.

Seeing their expressions, Ye Chen found it amusing.

He said to the other directors, ”I hereby appoint Wang Tao as the Deputy Captain of Security, responsible for the building’s security.”

”What?” Wang Tao felt like he was dreaming and pinched his thigh, feeling the pain, and realizing this was real.

Wang Tao had never dreamed that Ye Chen, instead of firing him, would promote him.

Zhang Tao also looked incredulously; he and Wang Tao exchanged glances, showing surprised expressions.

”Chairman Ye, I...” Wang Tao stammered emotionally.

”Wang Tao, you deserve this. A company wishing to develop well needs people like you who aren’t afraid of authority,” Ye Chen smiled.

Ye Chen didn’t explain things too thoroughly, mainly because Kang Hua had just lost face because of his son’s actions in front of everyone.

He didn’t want to embarrass Kang Hua again, knowing how Kang Hua would face people if he found out his son was bullying others with his power.

Wang Tao felt overwhelmed by the sudden good fortune; not only was he promoted with a salary increase, but he also now worked in the building he always dreamt of working in.

”Thank you, Chairman Ye,” Wang Tao said tearfully with gratitude.

Even though Wang Tao was a man, he didn’t feel embarrassed shedding tears this time.

Zhang Ming said to Ye Chen, ”Chairman Ye, I was wrong.”

If he hadn’t feared implicating himself, Zhang Ming wouldn’t have reported Wang Tao’s incident of stopping the car to the superiors; it was evident his actions were somewhat unscrupulous.

Ye Chen smiled without speaking, instead looking at the other board members.

Everyone understood Ye Chen’s approach; he wanted to convey to everyone that for the Group to develop well, it needed people who wouldn’t bow to power or authority.

Wang Tao felt fortunate to meet a boss like Ye Chen, who was clear-cut with rewards and penalties.

Ye Chen looked at Wang Tao and smiled, ”Young man, the company needs people like you.”

Wang Tao said excitedly, ”Thank you, Chairman Ye. I will work hard and not let you down.”

The male employee completed the promotion procedures for Wang Tao, and his future work position was arranged to be in the building.

Even Zhang Ming would now want to curry favor with him. This truly turned bad things into good.

”Little Tao, we’ll rely on you from now on,” said one of the big-bearded men from the security team.

”You got lucky, offending people in the Group, not getting fired, but instead getting a promotion and a raise.”

Hearing everyone’s praise, Wang Tao felt delighted, knowing it was all because he met a good boss.

If not for meeting Ye Chen, his outcome wouldn’t have been this good.
