Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Director Zhou saw this and of course understood that something must have happened for Ye Chen to be so unhappy.

”Younger Brother Ye, why would you say that?” Director Zhou looked at Ye Chen and asked.

Ye Chen didn’t speak, only smiled faintly.

Director Zhou then turned to Political Commissioner Zhao and asked, ”Commissioner, why are you sweating so much? What exactly happened?”

Political Commissioner Zhao stopped wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, pointed at Yang Wei with an aggrieved expression, and said, ”Director Zhou, it’s all because of Yang Wei that Mr. Ye is unhappy.”

Indeed, a sly old fox, Ye Chen thought to himself, as Political Commissioner Zhao easily shifted the blame onto Yang Wei.

However, Director Zhou wasn’t fooled. He heard Political Commissioner Zhao not explaining the situation and asked again, ”Commissioner, I hope you can tell me what exactly happened just now?”

Hearing this, Political Commissioner Zhao was also startled. He looked at Director Zhou’s serious expression and broke out in a cold sweat, even his clothes were soaked with sweat.

He stood still, silently not speaking anymore.

”Captain Zhou, you tell me what happened then.” Director Zhou looked at the female officer in front of him and said.

”Director, here’s what happened. According to your instructions, I invited Ye Chen to the police station to discuss the case, but Political Commissioner Zhao said I violated the rules, that not just anyone can enter the station, and even wanted to cancel my eligibility for the national outstanding police officer selection.” Zhou Susu explained the situation completely.

”Commissioner, is that true?” Director Zhou looked at Political Commissioner Zhao and asked.

”That’s right, but it was all a misunderstanding. I have already explained clearly to Mr. Ye, and it was Yang Wei who told me Captain Zhou brought a man to the office. I was just worried it would affect our police station’s image, so I said that.” Political Commissioner Zhao said nervously.

”Political Commissioner Zhao, are you out of your mind? Don’t you know Captain Zhou’s character? Doing this could really upset these good colleagues.” Director Zhou sighed and said.

”Director Zhou, this time I was really wrong, I apologize to Mr. Ye and Captain Zhou.” Political Commissioner Zhao said sincerely.

Then, he looked at Ye Chen and Zhou Susu and said, ”Mr. Ye, Captain Zhou, it was a misunderstanding earlier, I apologize now and hope you can accept it.”

Since Political Commissioner Zhao had spoken like this, Ye Chen and Zhou Susu no longer pursued the matter.

It’s a bit excessive for a political commissioner to apologize to two young people and still hold onto the advantage.

In fact, Ye Chen didn’t want to make things too difficult for Political Commissioner Zhao; he was merely giving him a warning.

And this time, it also served as a lesson for Political Commissioner Zhao, making him hesitant to cancel Zhou Susu’s eligibility for the selection.

”Since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, Younger Brother Ye, shouldn’t you stay?” Director Zhou said with a smile.

Ye Chen did not answer but looked at Yang Wei and asked, ”Officer Yang, do you still think I shouldn’t be at the police station now?”

Originally, Yang Wei thought everyone had forgotten about him, but he didn’t expect Ye Chen to ask him straight out.

”Mr. Ye, I really made a mistake earlier, I’m truly sorry.” Yang Wei quickly explained.

At this point, Political Commissioner Zhao looked at Yang Wei with venomous eyes.

Seeing Political Commissioner Zhao’s expression, Yang Wei was so scared his legs trembled.

Ye Chen no longer paid attention to the two and instead looked at Director Zhou and said, ”Since you’ve said it like that, if I leave now, it would be a bit disrespectful to you.” He said with a smile.

”Commissioner, you all can go now, I still have matters to discuss with Brother Ye.” Director Zhou said to Political Commissioner Zhao.

”Director Zhou, you all chat, you all chat.” Political Commissioner Zhao quickly said.

Seeing Yang Wei still standing there in a daze, he said sternly, ”Yang Wei, what are you still doing here? Come to my office.”

Yang Wei heard this, and even felt like crying.

Ye Chen and Zhou Susu glanced at each other; they both knew Yang Wei’s outcome would not be good.

Originally, Political Commissioner Zhao thought he had gotten leverage over Zhou Susu through Yang Wei and used it to cancel her election qualifications.

Yet, he never imagined that his plan would backfire, not only failing to cancel the eligibility but also angering Director Zhou.

Ye Chen’s strategy of playing the victim was truly brilliant.

Yang Wei followed behind Political Commissioner Zhao, leaving Zhou Susu’s office.

He certainly knew he was finished this time.

After seeing the two leave, Director Zhou said with a smile, ”Brother Ye, sorry about what happened earlier.”

Ye Chen waved his hand and said, ”Director Zhou, you don’t need to feel bad, it has nothing to do with you.”

Upon hearing Ye Chen say this, Director Zhou felt relieved.

”Brother Ye, please take a seat.” Director Zhou gestured invitingly.

Then he looked at Zhou Susu and said, ”Captain Zhou, why aren’t you hurrying to pour Mr. Ye a cup of tea? Is this how you treat a guest?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Susu hurried to prepare hot water, but was stopped by Ye Chen.

He didn’t want to stay at the station at all right now, nor did he want to discuss any case matters with Director Zhou.

”Director Zhou, you don’t need to be so polite, I really don’t want any water, and I truly have to leave.” Ye Chen said with a smile.

Director Zhou was stunned hearing this; after all this time, Ye Chen still wanted to leave.

”Brother Ye, are you still angry?” Director Zhou quickly asked.

”Director Zhou, Ye Chen isn’t angry at all. We truly planned to go out earlier.” Zhou Susu said with a smile.

”Oh, I understand now.” Director Zhou’s face showed a look of sudden realization.

Director Zhou knew about the ongoing relationship between Zhou Susu and Ye Chen; they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and now saying they wanted to go out, they likely felt the police station wasn’t convenient.

Young people have liberal thoughts, it’s understandable, Director Zhou wasn’t an old relic.

Seeing Director Zhou’s expression, Zhou Susu’s pretty face turned red.

She felt like she had been misunderstood.

But Ye Chen was indifferent, ”Director Zhou, then we’ll be leaving.”

”Go, go. Oh, Susu, don’t forget to talk to Ye Chen about the case.” Director Zhou quickly said as Zhou Susu passed by him.

”Director Zhou, don’t worry.” Zhou Susu said.

Watching the two leave, Director Zhou felt a sense of envy, thinking to himself, ”Youth is wonderful.”

Ye Chen and Zhou Susu left the police station and ran into Yang Wei coming out from Political Commissioner Zhao’s office.

At that moment, Yang Wei looked like he’d lost a battle, his head hanging low.

No need to think hard to know that Yang Wei must have been severely scolded by the commissioner.

Seeing Yang Wei’s sorry state, Ye Chen and Zhou Susu felt no sympathy; they thought he simply deserved it.

”Mr. Ye, Captain Zhou, I was really wrong. Please help me plead for mercy so I’m not transferred to a police station.” Yang Wei begged.

Ye Chen shrugged and said nothing.
