Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 886: Chapter 861: Promotion and Pay Raise

Ye Chen’s gaze swept over to Yu Yaoyao, and her heart tightened.

But for someone like Yu Yaoyao, he couldn’t be bothered to pay attention.

Wang Yang was also somewhat puzzled as to why Yu Yaoyao’s face turned so ugly after hearing that Ye Chen was a VIP client.

Could it be that this woman offended his VIP client? Wang Yang had a bad feeling about this.

He was just about to ask Yu Yaoyao, but Ye Chen looked at him and asked, “Chairman Wang, I’d like this girl to be my exclusive consultant, handling my deposit business. How about it?”

Ye Chen asked while pointing at Yang Xue.

“No problem, just follow Mr. Ye’s request,”

Wang Yang agreed without even thinking, as this matter was just a piece of cake for him.

The request Ye Chen made actually relieved him of his worries.

At first, he thought Yu Yaoyao had offended Ye Chen and was thinking of apologizing to Ye Chen first and then firing Yu Yaoyao if Ye Chen said a word.

After hearing Ye Chen’s words, Yu Yaoyao also breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, she thought Ye Chen would complain to Chairman Wang and she would lose her job, but she didn’t expect Ye Chen to talk about something else.

Instead, Yang Xue hurriedly refused, “Chairman Wang, Mr. Ye, I’m just an intern and really can’t handle this job.”

Chairman Wang hurriedly persuaded, “Little Xue, if Mr. Ye says you can do it, then you can do it. Don’t doubt yourself, your work has always been excellent.”

Then he laughed and said, “Starting today, you’re a full-time employee, promoted to VIP client manager, serving Mr. Ye alone, and your salary will double.”

Hearing Chairman Wang directly promote an intern to VIP client manager, the other employees were dumbfounded and stunned.

Especially those interns like Yang Xue, who were all looking at this lucky girl with envy.

Just now, they were gloating over Yang Xue offending Chu Yun, thinking there would be one less competitor.

But they didn’t expect the competitor they thought would be kicked out to suddenly become their leader, which was simply unbelievable.

“Thank you, Chairman Wang and Mr. Ye, for your trust. I will definitely do a good job,” Yang Xue said excitedly.

Ye Chen said with a smile, “Do well. I hope that next time I come, you will have matured a lot.”

With that, Ye Chen got into the car and started it.

“Mr. Ye, don’t worry, I definitely will not disappoint your expectations,” Yang Xue said excitedly, her eyes slightly red and glistening with tears.

Seeing Ye Chen drive away, Yu Yaoyao finally felt truly at ease.

She was very grateful to Ye Chen for not complaining in front of Chairman Wang, even though she knew Ye Chen simply didn’t regard her at all.

Yu Yaoyao secretly made up her mind never to look down on people again, having learned her lesson this time.

Chu Yun also came back to his senses, knowing that he was worlds apart from Ye Chen, far inferior, and he left dejectedly under the sympathetic eyes of everyone.

Chairman Wang, having clung to the golden leg of this wealthy patron Ye Chen, was in a very good mood, humming a tune as he walked into the door.

After leaving the bank, Ye Chen continued driving and delivered a few more packages.

Suddenly feeling thirsty, he parked the car by the side and walked down the street to buy a bubble tea.

At this moment, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving a Five-Star Review, earning a system reward: Time Freeze]

“Time Freeze, this reward is awesome,” Ye Chen thought to himself.

“Isn’t that like in the movies, using this skill can pause time for people, things, and surroundings while allowing oneself to move freely during the stopped time.”

“Host, you’re really smart; this skill is exactly as you imagined,” the system suddenly said.

Hearing this, Ye Chen wondered if this system also had the Mind Reading Skill?

“System, how long is the Time Freeze duration?” Ye Chen was particularly concerned about this.

“Basic Time Freeze lasts for 5 minutes; Intermediate and Advanced Levels require spending money in the system store to upgrade,” the system explained.

Ye Chen opened the store interface, seeing a skill upgrade button; he selected [Time Freeze] and tapped the upgrade button, and a prompt appeared saying, “To upgrade this skill to Intermediate Level, it costs 1 billion; would you like to upgrade?”

His mouth twitched, thinking to himself, “System, you’re too greedy, isn’t this daylight robbery?”

“Blame me, huh? What does this have to do with me?” the system retorted.

Ye Chen thought the system was getting cheeky, so he clicked no to exit the store.

Five minutes was already enough for him, and although Ye Chen had money, he wasn’t going to waste it.

He walked down the street and suddenly heard a girl’s shout, “Catch the thief, catch the thief!”

Looking ahead, he saw a long-haired girl in a dress, wearing high heels, chasing after a small black dot ahead.

He knew that the small black dot was the thief the girl was shouting about; her high heels made it impossible for her to catch up, and now the distance between them was far.

Though she was shouting as she ran, no one around paid attention to her.

Seeing no one helping, the girl suddenly tripped and fell to the ground, showing a look of despair.

Her bag contained the designs she had been working on for a week; if she couldn’t deliver them to the company, she would be fired.

Thinking about this brought tears of frustration to her eyes.

“Mister, please help me catch that thief, the things in my bag are really important to me,” the girl pleaded, tearfully.

“Alright, don’t worry,” Ye Chen helped the girl up and reassured her.

The girl sat on the roadside bench while Ye Chen, instead of running after, jogged lightly.

Seeing Ye Chen jogging away, the girl shook her head, feeling hopeless.

Maybe this was fate. As an intern, she needed to show her designs to be selected by the company.

She regretted not listening to her parents and staying in her hometown, finding a job in a small county to live peacefully, but why did she choose to struggle in this unfamiliar city?

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, crying harder as she decided to go back and follow her parents’ advice.

For ordinary people, that thief had fled far, making it seemingly impossible, but Ye Chen wasn’t ordinary; he had a powerful system and the Time Freeze skill.

Suddenly, the girl raised her head and was surprised to find the young man who had been jogging earlier had disappeared.
