Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 964: Chapter 939: Lost the Lady and the Army

It’s truly a case of kicking someone when they’re down. Seeing Duan Bin leave the jewelry store with his girlfriend in a dejected manner, the crowd started gossiping again.

“You really have to stay humble in life.”

“Be a person before doing things, there’s a lot of truth to that saying.”

“Haha, look at this guy, he tried to show off but ended up looking like a fool.”

Even though Duan Bin could hear it loud and clear, he didn’t dare to respond.

Now he’s no longer a high-ranking official in the Group; he’s just about to become a job-seeking worker.

Yang Xin’er also left feeling quite unsatisfied. She originally wanted to show off in front of Su Wanyi, but didn’t expect to end up on the losing side again.

After Duan Bin left, Chen Wan said apologetically, “Chairman Ye, I’m really sorry, it’s my fault for misjudging people.”

“Manager Chen, you don’t need to blame yourself. It’s not your fault. As the saying goes, you can know a person’s face but not their heart. Just make sure you keep your eyes open in the future,” said Ye Chen with a wave of his hand.

“Alright, weren’t you here to help your wife pick out jewelry? Go ahead and take a look,” Ye Chen said with a smile.

After all, it wasn’t really Chen Wan’s fault, and Ye Chen was always someone who clearly distinguished between rewards and punishments. He couldn’t possibly punish Chen Wan just because he thought highly of Duan Bin.

“My wife said that aquamarine ring is gone,” Chen Wan shook his head and said.

“Madam, are you talking about this one?” The sales assistant who was helping Su Wanyi package her items took out the ring and asked.

“Yes, that’s the one,” the middle-aged woman said excitedly.

“I’m really sorry, this ring has already been purchased by this young lady,” the sales assistant said apologetically.

“What if I order another one?” the middle-aged woman quickly asked.

The sales assistant honestly replied, “Aquamarines of this quality are rare, so I can’t say for sure.”

The middle-aged woman looked disappointed. She really liked this aquamarine ring and wanted her husband to give it to her as an anniversary gift, but now it had been bought by someone else.

“Honey, let’s check out some other jewelry stores. I’m sure we’ll find one,” Chen Wan comforted his wife.

“Sir, our jewelry store is one of the top in Hu Hai. If we don’t have it, other jewelry stores likely won’t either since such good gemstones are very rare,” Manager Zhou stated matter-of-factly.

These words poured over them like a cold shower, leaving Chen Wan and his wife with helpless expressions.

“Wanyi, can I discuss something with you? Could you give that aquamarine ring to Manager Chen’s wife? After all, it’s not your absolute favorite, is it?” Ye Chen asked Su Wanyi.

Even though Ye Chen was the one who paid for it, this kind of decision still required Su Wanyi’s consent.

Su Wanyi had always been a reasonable woman, and as the saying goes, “A gentleman does not take away what others love.”

She wasn’t particularly fond of this aquamarine ring, and seeing how much Manager Chen’s wife liked it, she had already been considering giving it away even if Ye Chen hadn’t said anything.

“Honey, you think just like I do,” Su Wanyi said with a smile.

After getting Su Wanyi’s agreement, Ye Chen looked at Chen Wan and said, “Manager Chen, I’ll give this ring as a gift for your wedding anniversary, to your wife.”

“Miss, please wrap the ring nicely and give it to that lady,” Ye Chen said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding customers looked on in disbelief. After all, that ring was worth 15 million!

“When you’re rich, you can be capricious, casually gifting something worth tens of millions.”

“Truly beyond extravagant!”

“This boss is so good to his subordinates, giving something worth over ten million just like that, he’s incredibly generous.”

“I want to quit and work for this company; such a great boss is truly hard to find.”

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Chen Wan said, “Chairman Ye, this gift is too extravagant, I feel bad accepting it.”

“I said I’m giving it to you, so it’s yours, no need to be polite with me,” Ye Chen said with a smile.

Since Ye Chen had put it that way, Chen Wan had no choice but to say, “Chairman Ye, thank you so much.”

“Manager Chen, let’s not be too formal. If anyone should be thanking someone, it’s me thanking you. Without you managing the company, how could I experience delivering packages?”

“It’s my job, Chairman Ye, you saying that makes me a bit ashamed.”

“Alright, Manager Chen, let’s stop all the thank-yous. I still have some things to do, so I’ll be going now.” Ye Chen really didn’t want to go back and forth with Chen Wan in this manner.

“Chairman Ye, take care,” Chen Wan respectfully saw Ye Chen and Su Wanyi off.

Su Wanyi, carrying her jewelry, walked out of the store arm-in-arm with Ye Chen, a happy smile on her face.

The two were walking down the street when they spotted two familiar figures from a distance.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Duan Bin and Yang Xin’er.

“You good-for-nothing woman, now that I have no power or influence, you dare to break up with me? After all the money of mine you’ve spent, how could you be so heartless now?” Duan Bin said furiously.

“Duan Bin, if it weren’t for your money, why would I ever be with you? I rejected so many who pursued me before,” Yang Xin’er replied with disdain.

“I don’t care, if you want to break up, it’s not happening easily unless you pay me back what I spent on you.”

“Are you even a man, asking a woman for money?”

“Smack!” A loud slap resounded.

Yang Xin’er was stunned by the sudden slap, her eyes wide, “You dare hit me?”

Saying that, Yang Xin’er grabbed Duan Bin’s face, looking very much like a shrew.

The two of them started brawling right there, completely disregarding their public surroundings.

The onlookers began pointing and commenting on the scene.

“This man actually hit a woman, that’s despicable.”

“I think the woman is also something else, she looks just like a shrew.”

“Marrying a woman like that would bring nothing but misfortune.”

“Both the man and the woman are something else.”

Ye Chen and Su Wanyi walked past them, shaking their heads in exasperation, not wanting to get involved.

Someone unknown had called the police.

After a while, the siren wailed, and a police car approached from afar.

A few uniformed officers got out and took the bloodied and disheveled Duan Bin and Yang Xin’er with them.

Even with the police arriving, the two didn’t stop fighting.

“What law am I breaking? Why are you arresting us?” Yang Xin’er yelled, still behaving like a shrew.

The police ignored them and forcibly took them away.

The surrounding onlookers dispersed, and the entire Jewelry Street returned to its previous calm.
