Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Su Wanyi had no choice but to listen to her mother and obediently stayed there.

She was extremely anxious inside, constantly peeking outside, worried that Ye Chen would be scolded by her father.

After all, giving a melon as a birthday gift is really hard to justify.

”Little Chen, I know Wanyi likes you, and your uncle and aunt also like you very much, but what you did today is really a bit inappropriate,” Father Su said, frowning.

He was referring to the fact that Ye Chen used a melon as a birthday gift, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it out loud.

Thinking about this matter made Father Su feel a pain in his chest; he thought Ye Chen was really being too reckless.

Ye Chen smiled and looked at Father Su, saying, ”Uncle, I know you feel that using a melon as a birthday gift is somewhat inappropriate, but this melon is not an ordinary melon; it has some special effects.”

Seeing Father Su’s expression, Ye Chen didn’t reveal the truth about it being a potato, knowing that if he did so, Su Wanyi’s father would definitely be furious enough to spit blood.

So Ye Chen could only follow Father Su’s words.

Upon hearing about the special effects of this melon, Father Su thought to himself, ”Isn’t this just an ordinary melon? What effects could it have?”

Though he didn’t say it out loud, Ye Chen knew what he was thinking in his heart and continued, ”Uncle, let’s go back now, and I’ll show you a miracle.”

Father Su felt this young man was really hard to understand, but he didn’t want to lose face; after all, it was infuriating enough that this son-in-law chose to use a melon as a birthday gift.

He couldn’t just stay here forever; there was a bunch of guests inside waiting to be entertained, so he had to hurry back.

The guests, seeing Father Su take Ye Chen away, all crowded around the table with the birthday gift.

”Forgive my ignorance, but this looks like a melon to me.”

”Isn’t it a melon? Round and bulging, but I’ve never seen a melon with this color before.”

”Truly, the world is big and full of wonders, and someone actually used a melon as a birthday gift.”

Hearing the guests’ comments, Father Su, who was walking this way, and Mother Su, who was standing still, both looked even more displeased, even a bit resentful of Ye Chen’s actions.

Actually, Father Su had a very good impression of Ye Chen and admired him a lot, but what Ye Chen did today was really over the line.

In front of all the guests, wasn’t this just a slap in the Su Family’s face?

”Little Chen, let’s put an end to this matter; don’t mention the melon anymore,” Father Su warned with a displeased expression.

Ye Chen said nothing, just followed behind.

Seeing Ye Chen walking over, Su Wanyi felt a deep pain in her heart.

”Ye Chen, are you alright? Did my dad scold you?” Su Wanyi asked softly.

”I had a very good chat with Uncle; don’t worry,” Ye Chen answered softly.

As he spoke, he kept holding Su Wanyi’s hand tightly, which reassured her a lot, bringing a smile to her face.

Zhou Jun knew this was the perfect opportunity to ridicule Ye Chen.

He couldn’t help but think that heaven was being too kind to him, allowing him to vent his inner anger.

It’s important to know Zhou Jun had liked Su Wanyi for a long time, but she never even looked at him, which made Zhou Jun very angry.

”Brother Ye, your birthday gift is quite interesting; it really opened our eyes.”

Zhou Jun’s buddies were also cooperating very well.

”Yeah, it’s the first time I’ve seen someone use a vegetable as a birthday gift.”

”Brother Ye, I’m curious why you thought of giving such a thing.”

”Yeah, Brother Ye, tell us about it; we’re curious too.”

Father Su saw this and was also very upset; he really didn’t want to bring up the melon issue again.

Ye Chen knew these people were provoking him; with his personality, how could he endure this?

Even though Father Su had already warned him not to mention the melon matter again.

Now, with Zhou Jun leading the crowd to provoke him in such a public setting, how could Ye Chen ignore them?

Moreover, Ye Chen was also very curious if this melon was as magical as the system claimed.

If it were as the system said, then it would prove that anything placed in the Magical Space would transform and gain fantastic effects.

”Hello, waiter, I’d like to borrow the kitchen,” Ye Chen said to the waiter standing nearby.

When Father Su heard Ye Chen’s words, he hurriedly said, ”Little Chen, the dishes are all prepared; are you planning to cook?”

”Uncle, you’re right. On the surface, this melon might not seem special, but once it’s made into a dish, it will have certain effects.”

”Little Chen, don’t mess around; there are so many guests here, and no one has the time to play with you,” Father Su said in a reproachful tone.

The waiter, hearing Father Su’s words, didn’t dare speak either; he initially wanted to take Ye Chen to the kitchen but couldn’t risk offending the Su Family.

”Waiter, please take me to the kitchen,” Ye Chen said to the waiter again, ignoring Father Su.

For some reason, Su Wanyi actually believed Ye Chen’s words, even though she also thought Ye Chen was being a bit reckless, but she just wanted to support this man.

”Waiter, please take me and Mr. Ye together,” Su Wanyi suddenly spoke up.

The waiter, having seen Elder Su’s attitude towards Su Wanyi, couldn’t disobey once Miss Su had spoken.

”Miss Su, Mr. Ye, please wait a moment,” the waiter said before turning and leaving.

For such esteemed customers, he certainly couldn’t have them follow him to the kitchen; that would make the service seem inadequate.

If the hotel manager found out, he would definitely be reprimanded.

After a while, the waiter brought all the cooking utensils to the banquet hall.

Ye Chen looked at the things in front of him, thinking that he was being asked to demonstrate his cooking skills on the spot.

Zhou Jun and Zhao Qing saw this and sneered inwardly, thinking, ”This kid’s in for it now; let’s see how he gets out of this.”

They originally thought Ye Chen couldn’t cook and would definitely embarrass himself, eagerly waiting to see Ye Chen’s missteps.

Father Su and Mother Su also looked tense because if Ye Chen messed up, it wouldn’t just be Ye Chen’s embarrassment but also the Su Family’s face on the line.

”Wanyi, hurry up and advise Little Chen,” Father Su quietly said to Su Wanyi.

”Dad, I trust Ye Chen. Since he said it, he’s definitely confident. Let’s just wait and see,” Su Wanyi replied.

She didn’t heed her father’s advice to stop Ye Chen but instead cheered him on from the side.

Su Wanyi knew that as Ye Chen’s woman, what she should do now was not to stop him but to believe in him unconditionally and support him.
