Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

As Ye Chen thought, if it were simply about coming home for a meal, there wouldn’t be such urgency; Father Su definitely had something to discuss with him.

”Dad, what do you want to talk to me about?” Ye Chen asked, looking a bit nervous.

Su Wanyi also looked at her father with a puzzled expression, wondering what he wanted with Ye Chen.

”Little Chen, you don’t need to be afraid. I’m looking for you because of my daughter, Wanyi,” Father Su said, glancing at his daughter beside him.

”So, it’s about Wanyi,” Ye Chen thought to himself.

He also glanced at Su Wanyi, but from the girl’s expression, she seemed completely unaware.

Father Su smiled and said, ”You don’t have to look at Wanyi; even she doesn’t know what it’s about. Alright, Little Chen, I won’t beat around the bush. I want you to help Wanyi manage the company. You see, she’s lost a lot of weight recently, and as a father, it pains me to see it.”

Not only Father Su, but even Mrs. Su showed an expression of concern.

At this moment, Ye Chen looked at Su Wanyi again, and indeed, the girl had lost quite some weight from being overworked, busy with company matters.

Before Ye Chen could speak, Su Wanyi interjected: ”Dad, how could you say that? It’s not that Ye Chen doesn’t care—it’s my fault. After all, he hasn’t studied business management. I just don’t want him to be overworked. Besides, Ye Chen has his own things to deal with.”

Su Wanyi hurried to explain, fearing Ye Chen might think she had complained to her father.

”Wanyi, you’re my daughter, don’t I know you well? You’re just too strong-willed. Sometimes girls should rely on the men around them. Of course, I’m not blaming Ye Chen,” Father Su said, then turned to Ye Chen, ”Little Chen, don’t misunderstand. I brought you here not to blame you for not caring for Wanyi, but to discuss that you might want to study business management so you can help Wanyi out. It would ease my mind knowing the two of you are managing the company together. Sometimes Wanyi’s ideas aren’t as good as yours, so for Yashi Group to develop better, she needs your support.”

Ye Chen finally understood; Father Su essentially wanted him to learn business management.

To learn such knowledge, he’d have to go back to school, considering Ye Chen had been out of school for quite some time. Father Su feared Ye Chen might be unwilling, so he called him over to discuss it.

”Of course, Little Chen, if you’re not willing, I won’t force you. It just means my poor daughter will have to bear more on her own. After all, your mother and I are getting old and can’t help much with the company,” Father Su sighed.

Recently, even Su Wanyi felt a bit overwhelmed, especially since she had to make decisions on every matter both big and small in the company.

She did want someone to help her, but she didn’t want to pressure Ye Chen into doing things he didn’t enjoy.

Su Wanyi knew Ye Chen was someone who valued his freedom; he wasn’t the type of man who could stay at a company long to help her handle things.

Her father hadn’t discussed this with her, which left her caught off guard.

Su Wanyi felt that directly telling Ye Chen would seem like a discussion on the surface, but in reality, her father had left Ye Chen no choice.

”Dad, let’s discuss this later. I can handle things myself, and sometimes Ye Chen helps me with company matters anyway,” Su Wanyi hurriedly said.

She really didn’t want this issue to cause misunderstandings with Ye Chen or for it to spoil their relationship.

”Wanyi, do you think I don’t know that you’re busy with work and hardly see Ye Chen? What couple is like you two, rarely together? It’s not good for your relationship. Moreover, your mother and I are getting old. When will we finally get to have grandchildren if you two keep this up?”

Father Su approached Ye Chen to discuss because he learned from the company’s employees that Su Wanyi was almost always at the company handling matters, leaving no time to be with Ye Chen.

After getting this information, he thought deeply and decided they should talk. While it’s true Su Wanyi runs the company, if Ye Chen also managed it, they would see each other often, their relationship could deepen, and they could quickly fulfill the wish of having grandchildren.

Hearing this, Su Wanyi was speechless. This was just like the Emperor not being anxious, but the eunuch was.

She and Ye Chen had no plans for children. They were both in the ascent of their careers, and having a child now would just create chaos.

”Dad, if you want grandchildren, there’s no need. I don’t have plans for children, and anyway, my relationship with Ye Chen won’t weaken just because we don’t see each other often.”

Ye Chen felt resigned about Father Su’s comment about having grandkids but agreed with the point that long periods apart could weaken a relationship.

He too noticed that Su Wanyi only reached out when there were issues. Without issues, they wouldn’t even exchange a Weixun message—not because anyone fell out of love but because they had grown used to this lifestyle.

Ye Chen had originally planned to find time to discuss his thoughts with Su Wanyi after she got through this busy period.

Unexpectedly, Father Su had voiced his concerns today.

Since Su Wanyi was his daughter, Father Su knew she was stubborn and couldn’t be easily persuaded.

He turned to Ye Chen and asked, ”Little Chen, today I just want to hear your thoughts. Are you willing to help Wanyi manage the company together?”

Su Wanyi was about to speak, but Ye Chen signaled her with a look to stop.

”Dad, I agree with you. Actually, I’ve thought about this before. It was my oversight. I assumed that as a strong woman, Wanyi could manage all company matters herself. But seeing her grow thinner from managing the company, it pains me. After all, Wanyi is my wife, and it’s only right for a man to care for his wife. Because my knowledge is limited, I’m anxious and helpless,” Ye Chen said.

Father Su nodded with satisfaction; it seemed Ye Chen still cared for his daughter. He couldn’t have said such things without love.

He truly hadn’t misjudged Ye Chen. Not only was he capable, but he also treated his daughter well. He was a man worth entrusting.

Su Wanyi didn’t expect Ye Chen to say this, and she was deeply moved, knowing Ye Chen would sacrifice a lot for her.

”Ye Chen, I can handle it on my own, so you don’t need to worry,” Su Wanyi said with a smile.

”Wanyi, you don’t have to say anything more. I’ve made up my mind. Seeing you work so hard really makes my heart ache,” Ye Chen said with a firm expression.
