Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

”Mr. Ye, thank you for saving my life. If it wasn’t for you, Zhu Qiang would definitely have hurt me badly,” Shi Hui said in a choked voice.

”I’ve already said there’s no need to thank me. It was just a small effort. In the future, you must be careful in choosing men. Don’t stay with someone like Zhu Qiang just for money; it will ruin your life,” Ye Chen advised kindly.

”What Mr. Ye said is right. I will remember this lesson and never find a man like Zhu Qiang who bullies women again.” Shi Hui nodded as she spoke.

The reason she said this is because she now has a new target: Ye Chen.

Looking at Ye Chen’s demeanor, Shi Hui knew he was an exceptional man.

She wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity. Being with Zhu Qiang was originally a helpless choice since she had to rely on Zhu Qiang for food and drink.

Shi Hui is a woman who loves vanity. Even if she leaves Zhu Qiang, she intends to find a rich man, and now one is right in front of her.

Now that Zhu Qiang has left, there’s no danger anymore, and Ye Chen continued walking towards the restaurant door holding Su Wanyi’s hand.

”Wait a moment, Mr. Ye.” Shi Hui suddenly called out.

Ye Chen heard the voice behind him, turned around, and looked at the girl, asking, ”Is there anything else?”

”Oh, it’s like this, Mr. Ye. I’m someone who repays kindness. Since you saved my life, I definitely want to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude,” Shi Hui said with a smile.

”No need. I helped you not for any repayment. Let’s skip the meal; I need to have dinner with my wife now.” Ye Chen waved his hand as he spoke.

Hearing Ye Chen say this, Shi Hui calmly replied, ”Mr. Ye, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not suggesting today, but whenever you have time, we can have that meal.”

”I think it’s better to forget about it; it’s really unnecessary,” Ye Chen refused again.

”Mr. Ye, if you don’t let me treat you to this meal to express my gratitude, my conscience will be uneasy my whole life. Do you really have the heart to let me be like this for the rest of my life?” Shi Hui pleaded with a face full of supplication.

Su Wanyi and Liu Yuting watched the woman before them, very aware in their hearts that she liked Ye Chen and wanted to use this as an excuse to meet him.

Since the woman expressed this way, it seemed it wouldn’t be good for Ye Chen to refuse again.

”Alright then, let’s get in touch later,” Ye Chen said politely.

Originally, he thought saying this would be the end, but they didn’t have phone numbers or Weixun to contact each other.

”Mr. Ye, can I add you as a Weixun friend?” Shi Hui asked nervously.

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, ”Sure.”

As he said this, he took out his phone. Refusing would be too disrespectful to this woman, after all, they all cared about face.

And in front of so many good friends, where would the woman’s dignity go? Therefore, Ye Chen pondered for a moment and agreed to the woman’s request.

”Mr. Ye, my name is Shi Hui, what’s yours?” Shi Hui asked as she took out her phone.

”Ye Chen.”

There’s no way Shi Hui would pass up such a good opportunity; she wanted to slowly extract Ye Chen’s information.

Now she had added him on Weixun and knew his real name; this was a significant progress.

Shi Hui believed that given time, she would definitely win this exceptional man over.

Su Wanyi had already seen through Shi Hui’s intentions; she sensed some danger.

It seemed this woman named Shi Hui was really not simple; she wanted to steal Ye Chen from her.

Any sympathy and pity for this woman had vanished; truly, there are always reasons to be angry at seemingly pitiful people. No wonder Shi Hui walked with someone like Zhu Qiang; she wasn’t a good person either.

”Ye Chen, then let’s get in touch later,” Shi Hui waved at Ye Chen and said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen didn’t speak; he simply nodded lightly.

Shi Hui deliberately didn’t show clinginess because she didn’t want Ye Chen to know her true thoughts, afraid that this man might find her unappealing.

”Let’s go,” Shi Hui said with a smile to the friends standing off to the side.

At this moment, her mood was indescribably good.

Shi Hui’s behavior left her friends dumbfounded; she was just showing an air of despair, yet now she seemed to have turned into a different person, full of vitality.

Of course, some of them guessed Shi Hui’s intentions; this girl was really not simple. The intention wasn’t in the drink but elsewhere.

Now all the friends knew that their good friend was just acting to gain Ye Chen’s favor.

Accompanied by the manager and Liu Yuting, Ye Chen also entered the restaurant holding Su Wanyi’s hand.

They sat at a spot relatively close to the food, so they didn’t have to walk far to grab it, making it very convenient.

”Mr. Ye, Little Ting and I will be here to serve you,” the manager said with a respectful smile.

”No need, you all go about your business. If I need anything, I’ll call you,” Ye Chen replied waving his hand.

He didn’t like having waiters nearby because it felt awkward, and he couldn’t eat comfortably.

”Alright, Mr. Ye, I wish you and this lady an enjoyable meal,” the manager nodded and said.

In reality, he didn’t want to be a third wheel either, but Ye Chen had spent a million to book the restaurant, and they had to provide top-tier service to these esteemed guests.

Since the guest said no need, there was no reason for him and the waitress to stay.

After the manager and the waitress left, Ye Chen sighed and said, ”Ah, honey, our seafood buffet meal has been too troublesome.”

”I think it’s good; as the saying goes, good things come after some challenges. Didn’t you gain love?” Su Wanyi said sarcastically.

Ye Chen immediately sensed the tone was off; what did she mean by gaining love? He certainly understood what Su Wanyi implied, but he couldn’t very well refuse in that situation.

”Honey, see, you’re misunderstanding me again. I only have love with you,” Ye Chen replied with a pitiful expression.

”Oh, really? I wonder why I felt you were chatting quite happily with that woman named Shi Hui,” Su Wanyi said coldly.

”No way, those were just pleasantries. Besides, even if we exchanged contact information, I won’t reach out to her,” Ye Chen explained.

”You won’t contact her, but can you guarantee she won’t contact you? Are you really that naive, or are you pretending not to see that woman named Shi Hui likes you? Yet you still exchanged Weixun,” Su Wanyi complained, looking displeased.
