Zhang Hua didn’t notice anything at all. He still thought Ye Chen was calling him because he valued his cousin.

Originally, Zhang Hua had planned to promote his cousin, but that wasn’t something he could decide on his own.

After all, Ye Chen was the major shareholder here. Without Ye Chen nodding his approval, how would he dare do that?

Even if Zhang Hua had his own selfish motives, he couldn’t show them.

”Chairman Zhang, I’m just thinking, they’re both cousins, so how can there be such a huge difference in how they behave as human beings?”

Ye Chen countered.

Hearing this, Zhang Hua didn’t react for a moment.

Right now he was also trying to figure out what Ye Chen meant by that. Was he praising the cousin while criticizing him?

”Mr. Ye, did I do something wrong somewhere?”

Even though the air conditioner was on, Zhang Hua kept wiping the sweat off his forehead with tissues.

”Chairman Zhang, don’t misunderstand. I’m not talking about you. What you’ve done makes me very satisfied.”

Ye Chen nodded with a smile as he spoke.

”But your cousin, that’s another story. I think you ought to rein him in. I really don’t like people who lie through their teeth like that.”

Hearing this, Zhang Hua secretly rejoiced that he hadn’t just now tried to put in a good word for his cousin, or he might have gotten dragged down with him.

From Ye Chen’s tone, it was obvious the cousin had stirred up trouble outside—and even provoked Mr. Ye.

Zhang Hua also felt a kind of hatred for iron that won’t turn into steel. His cousin was right in the middle of getting promoted.

He’d been planning these few days to report it to Ye Chen, since Ye Chen normally didn’t meddle too much in personnel matters.

And he didn’t really know what kind of person the cousin was. Besides, the cousin hadn’t made any mistakes during this period. He believed Ye Chen would give him this bit of face.

He never expected that at such a critical moment, his cousin would be so blind and go piss off Ye Chen.

Now the promotion and raise for the cousin were completely toast.

”Mr. Ye, you’re right, this is all my fault. I didn’t manage my cousin properly, which led to him making a serious mistake. Please forgive us, Mr. Ye.”

Zhang Hua said nervously.

”Chairman Zhang, I think management is just one side of it. If all the company’s senior executives were the kind of people who lie with their eyes wide open, wouldn’t that hurt our development?”

Ye Chen said in an icy voice.

Zhang Hua wasn’t stupid; of course he understood what that meant. Looks like this time his cousin really had caused a huge disaster.

He knew Ye Chen’s temper. No one who angered him ever had a good ending.

”You’re absolutely right. I think so too. From this moment on, Wei Wenbin will no longer serve as property manager.”

Zhang Hua said through gritted teeth.

Ye Chen knew the other party definitely wasn’t happy about it, but he had to give him this face.

”Very good, Chairman Zhang. I really like your style of doing things—never playing favorites.”

Wei Wenbin had been listening at the side the whole time, and his face had turned deathly pale.

He never imagined he’d caused such a huge mess. It never even occurred to him that this young man in front of him would be so ridiculously powerful.

Now it was great—he’d even managed to lose his position.

These past few days, Wei Wenbin had been floating on air, because his cousin had told him he’d get a promotion and a raise, which was why he’d been swaggering around outside.

He looked down on everyone.

The bystanders around them, hearing what Ye Chen was saying on the phone, all stared with wide, shocked eyes.

You had to know that being the property manager of Golden Street was already a very badass position. Someone that even the chairman treated with respect—just how terrifying would a person like that be?

”I think I finally get it now. No wonder this young guy wasn’t afraid. Turns out he’s got serious backing.”

”Really is young and promising.”

”I’m so jealous of that girl for having a boyfriend like him.”

Not a single person in the crowd wasn’t admiring and praising Ye Chen.

Yang Tiantian was also staring at Ye Chen with a look of shock.

”Ye Chen, I feel like I can’t see through you at all. Just how many identities do you have?”

Ye Chen didn’t answer. He just looked at the girl in front of him and smiled.

”Don’t worship me. I’m just a legend.”

That line made Yang Tiantian feel a little annoyed, but compared to that annoyance, she felt far more proud and smug.

Anyone with a boyfriend like this would definitely feel the same way.

Yang Tiantian felt like she’d picked up a treasure. She clung tightly to Ye Chen’s arm, afraid some other girl might hook him away.

Ye Chen felt that stripping Wei Wenbin of his position was way more satisfying than making him slap himself. He didn’t want to pursue it any further.

And he really didn’t think it was necessary to waste more time on someone like this.

”Tian Tian, let’s go.”

Ye Chen glanced at Yang Tiantian as he spoke.

Just as the Two People were about to leave, Wei Wenbin suddenly shouted.

”Mr. Ye, please wait!”

This time, Wei Wenbin’s way of addressing Ye Chen had become much more respectful.

Just from his attitude, you could tell he’d chickened out.

”What is it?”

Ye Chen turned around, gave him a look, and asked.

”Mr. Ye, it was all my fault earlier. Here’s the eight thousand yuan for you. And I was the one who hit your girlfriend—I lied just now. How about I slap myself and apologize to you?”

Wei Wenbin said, his face full of regret.

”Too late. I already gave you a chance just now, but you didn’t cherish it. You can’t blame anyone else for that.”

Ye Chen’s voice was ice-cold.

He never expected Ye Chen to be so decisive, not giving him even a sliver of a chance.

Wei Wenbin still wanted to give it a shot. He raised his hand.

The crowd let out a collective gasp. They’d thought this guy had been driven into a corner and was about to take a swing at Ye Chen.

But then a sharp, clear slap rang out in the crowd, followed quickly by several more.

Everyone who saw it was stunned.

”He was just acting all arrogant a moment ago, and now he’s completely cowed.”

”Exactly. That’s the Golden Street property manager position we’re talking about. To just lose it in an instant—anyone would try to get it back.”

”Sigh, I wonder if this young man will give him another chance. Watching this, you feel he’s both pitiful and hateful.”

The people around them chimed in one after another.

Ye Chen completely ignored Wei Wenbin’s behavior. He said coolly,

”If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.”

”Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye, I’ve already gone this far. I’m begging you, please give me a chance. Forgive me just this once.”

Wei Wenbin said, face twisted in misery.

Right now, he was truly regretting it to the core. If he’d known Ye Chen in front of him was this formidable, he wouldn’t have dared provoke him even if someone had beaten him to death.

Thinking back to how he’d just tried to extort money from Ye Chen, and that arrogant attitude of his, he could only feel regret.

But what good was regret? It was obvious Ye Chen wasn’t going to give him that chance.

Watching Ye Chen and Yang Tiantian’s backs as they walked away, tears of remorse streamed down Wei Wenbin’s face.

He knew that because of the way he’d always acted in the company, plenty of people had long been fed up with him.

Before, because of his position, nobody dared do anything to him. But now, going back, he’d definitely be ostracized.

Wei Wenbin thought, there’s no way I can let it end like this. He absolutely couldn’t accept it.
