Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Seeing this girl’s anxious look, Ye Chen didn’t dare make her wait too long.

He didn’t even change his clothes, just grabbed his keys and headed out.

The two got in the car and drove straight to Su Wanyi’s company.

At this moment, Su Wanyi’s phone rang, and she saw that it was Song Li calling.

Ye Chen also saw the phone number and couldn’t help but be a bit puzzled: ”What’s so urgent this early in the morning?”

Su Wanyi answered the call, and Song Li’s anxious voice came through.

”President Su, something bad happened. Two of our company’s artists terminated their contracts with us.”

”Little Song, take it slow. What’s going on exactly?” Su Wanyi asked.

”It was like this, last night around eleven, Yang Miao and Li Yang said they wanted to talk to you about terminating their contracts. I hurried to call you, but no one answered the phone.”

Song Li explained the whole situation in one breath.

Then she continued, ”This morning, I called the two of them, but no one picked up the phone. And now, there are journalists at the door wanting to know why the two artists suddenly terminated their contracts.”

”Okay, Little Song, don’t worry. I’ll head over there right now,” Su Wanyi said.

After hanging up, she glanced at her phone’s call history and sure enough, Song Li had tried to call her many times yesterday.

Su Wanyi glanced at Ye Chen, knowing he was the one behind this.

Before Su Wanyi could say anything, Ye Chen confessed, ”Honey, yesterday I was afraid the phone would disturb us, so I put your phone on silent.”

Since the situation had already occurred, it was no use for Su Wanyi to blame Ye Chen any further.

She sighed and said, ”Hubby, let’s turn the car around and go to Star Media. There’s been an incident at the company.”

Ye Chen had also heard Su Wanyi and Song Li’s conversation and had a general understanding. He also knew there were many journalists at the door.

He looked at Su Wanyi and asked, ”Honey, there are so many journalists at the door now. Why bother going over? Let them wait.”

”I have to find out what’s going on. I feel like something fishy is going on,” Su Wanyi shook her head and said.

Actually, not only her, but even Ye Chen felt there was something suspicious about it.

The company had just changed owners, and right away, two artists suddenly terminated their contracts. Someone must be orchestrating this behind the scenes.

Bear in mind, unilaterally terminating a contract for no reason requires paying a penalty. Not to mention, the contracts of those two artists hadn’t even reached their expiration dates.

If they needed to pay a hefty penalty fee, how could they possibly afford it? Someone must have offered to cover that cost.

Ye Chen knew some people in the industry and decided to thoroughly investigate the matter.

”Alright then, let’s follow your plan. Just be careful, okay?” Ye Chen said.

He wasn’t worried at all about Su Wanyi dealing with journalists, after all, Su Wanyi is the president of a company and often holds press conferences, familiar with handling such situations.

Ye Chen had more important matters to attend to.

”Honey, will you be okay on your own? Do you need me to go with you?” Ye Chen asked.

”No need, you go do your thing. I can handle it,” Su Wanyi said with a smile.

The expression on her face was very calm, with not a hint of tension.

Ye Chen knew with Su Wanyi’s capabilities, she was more than capable of dealing with this situation.

However, dealing with it was one thing, but it was unlikely she could uncover any clue by herself.

”Alright then, call me once you’re finished. I’ll come to pick you up,” Ye Chen said with a smile.

As for some celebrities in the entertainment circle, he knows a few of them, like Yang Mimi.

Since they are insiders, they surely would know what’s happening inside the industry.

Ye Chen dialed Yang Mimi’s number.

Yang Mimi was just about to leave home when she saw the incoming call from Ye Chen.

”Brother Chen, you finally remembered to call me. I’ve missed you,” Yang Mimi teased.

”Alright, Mimi, no time for jokes now; I have something urgent to ask you. Where are you? I’ll pick you up now,” Ye Chen said.

In the past, Ye Chen would joke around with Yang Mimi, but this time Yang Mimi sensed the seriousness in Ye Chen’s voice, knowing he must have something urgent to discuss.

”I’m at home; I’m just about to head out. Come pick me up,” Yang Mimi said.

Ye Chen hung up the call, turned the car around, and headed towards Yang Mimi’s house.

”Mimi, I’m here. Come down,” Ye Chen said after dialing Yang Mimi’s number.

Yang Mimi changed her shoes and quickly ran out. Spotting the parked sports car, she got in.

”Brother Chen, what’s up? You look so troubled,” Yang Mimi asked upon seeing Ye Chen’s somber expression.

”Mimi, I need to ask you about something,” Ye Chen began.

Suddenly, Yang Mimi’s phone rang. She glanced at it and answered, ”What’s happening?”

Her agent said, ”Miss Yang Mimi, are you ready? I’m coming to pick you up.”

”No need, I’ll head over there myself later,” she said before hanging up.

”Mimi, do you have any events later?” Ye Chen asked.

He felt it would be inappropriate to delay Yang Mimi’s performance or event because of him.

”No problem, Brother Chen. There’s plenty of time. How about we find a place to talk?” Yang Mimi said with a smile.

Although she said this, she was still a bit worried. If someone recognized her, it could be trouble.

However, since Ye Chen had done her a favor in the past and now needed her help, she couldn’t refuse.

Ye Chen drove to a café, taking Yang Mimi with him, and they found a secluded spot to sit down.

Since it was work hours, the café wasn’t very crowded.

Even though Yang Mimi is a public figure, with her sunglasses and mask on, she was unrecognizable.

”Mimi, you almost look like a mummy. I’m sure no one will recognize you,” Ye Chen joked.

”Brother Chen, you are laughing, but if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be like this. I rarely appear alone in public,” Yang Mimi said with a hint of grievance.

”Haha, Mimi is the best. I’ll treat you to dinner once we’re done here,” Ye Chen said with a smile.

”Is dinner all? Nothing more exciting?” Yang Mimi replied, flashing a mischievous smile.

”Alright, enough joking. I’m serious now; I really need your help with something,” Ye Chen’s expression suddenly turned serious.

He then continued, ”Do you know about Star Media’s two artists suddenly terminating their contracts?”

”Brother Chen, why the sudden interest? Isn’t that Yu Yang’s problem to worry about? Why are you getting involved?” Yang Mimi asked, puzzled.

She still remembered Yu Yang as the owner of Star Media.

”Yu Yang? Why would he worry? I’m the owner of that company now, so I’m asking you about it,” Ye Chen said.

”You’re the owner? Really?” Yang Mimi asked, wide-eyed.
