Chapter 486: Chapter 482: Arrogant Top Performer (First Update, Subscription Requested)
Xu Tianze feigned surprise and said, “Ah, driving for DiDi? You’re so good at your studies, how come you’re driving for DiDi?”
Upon hearing that Ye Chen was driving for DiDi, Xu Tianze’s wife’s face immediately took on a look of disdain.
She didn’t even bother to greet Ye Chen.
“By the way, Ye Chen, consider this meal my treat. If you ever need help, just say the word.”
Xu Tianze’s wife said from the side, “There you go showing off again. Aren’t class reunions all AA these days?”
Ye Chen smiled faintly, “No need, I’ve already settled the bill for this meal.”
“What? Settled?” Xu Tianze was taken aback.
Xu Tianze’s wife’s face also showed a hint of joy.
However, Xu Tianze was very displeased and said, “Ye Chen, look, you’re having such a hard time driving for DiDi, how can I let you treat us? No way, how much was it? I’ll pay you back.”
Ye Chen shook his head and said, “No need, I don’t pay for meals here!”
Don’t pay?
Xu Tianze was still a bit confused.
But he assumed Ye Chen was just being polite, “Not pay, how is that possible, you’re not the owner here.”
At this moment, the restaurant manager approached and said respectfully, “Chairman Ye, do you need to order anything else?”
Ye Chen shook his head, “No, we’re all done.”
Chairman Ye?
Xu Tianze: “…”
Xu Tianze’s wife: “…”
What Chairman Ye?
Xu Tianze looked utterly confused.
Ye Chen smiled bitterly, originally wanting to keep a low profile, but he was still found out.
At this time, the restaurant staff bowed together, “Chairman Ye, take care.”
Many people were stunned seeing Ye Chen.
Especially those rich beauties, their eyes lit up seeing the handsome hotel owner.
Ye Chen awkwardly smiled and said, “Hello everyone, you’ve worked hard.”
Xu Tianze was completely dumbfounded.
My God, Ye Chen is actually the chairman of this hotel.
Suddenly, Xu Tianze’s face turned sour.
This Marriott Hotel is worth billions, and here I was bragging in front of him.
A million is probably no different than a dollar to him!
Great, I was just trying to show off and regain some childhood pride.
And now, I’m slapped in the face.
Even Xu Tianze’s wife, who had just been looking at Ye Chen with disdain, was left speechless.
My God, Ye Chen is actually the hidden owner of this hotel.
This is too impressive.
Xu Tianze looked defeated.
He originally thought he was good enough, only to find out his classmate had reached a level he could only look up to.
Xu Tianze’s wife ironically said from beside him, “See, you wanted to show off, now you know you’re just a poor bastard.”
Upon hearing his wife’s words, Xu Tianze, already displeased, felt his mood completely crash.
“How am I poor? I take care of you, let you wear branded clothes, carry designer bags, buy school district houses for our son, and you say I’m poor?”
Xu Tianze’s wife sneered, “Well, that depends on who you compare yourself with. Look at him, owning an entire hotel yet so low-key. And you, boasting about the little money you make everywhere, competing with others, and now look, you got slapped in the face. See how poor you really are now?”
By this time, a crowd had gathered around, watching the couple argue, pointing and murmuring.
This time, Xu Tianze couldn’t maintain his dignity, and he slapped his wife in the face.
“You wasteful woman, always thinking about wearing designer clothes and competing with others, I work so hard and you say I’m poor?”
“You’re originally a poor bastard, going around showing off, didn’t I speak the truth?”
After being hit, Xu Tianze’s wife also went crazy, shouting and yelling at Xu Tianze.
Ye Chen stood awkwardly beside them and could only say, “Tianze, you have your fight with your wife, I’m going to leave first.”
He shook his head as he walked away, “Ah, it’s still better to be low-key.”
Ye Chen drove his DiDi car to Light and Shadow Film and Television.
As he was approaching Light and Shadow Film and Television, suddenly a BMW sports car cut into his lane.
Unable to dodge, the two cars collided.
A long-haired beauty got out of the BMW with an arrogant face.
“Hey, how is a DiDi driver like you driving?”
Ye Chen said, “I was driving normally; you’re the one who changed lanes suddenly, so it’s entirely your fault, right?”
“I changed lanes? Do you know this is Light and Shadow Film and Television? Who allowed a junk car like yours to enter?”
Ye Chen was irritated, “Yours is a car, mine is also a car, why can’t my car come in?”
The beauty arrogantly said, “True, we’re both cars, but mine is a BMW. What about yours, a broken Geely? Do you have a hundred thousand?”
At this moment, a security guard came over.
Seeing the beauty, the guard showed a respectful face.
“Sister Wei, you’re here.”
Sun Wei snorted coldly, “How are you guys watching the gate? Who allowed such a junk car to come in?”
“This!” The security guard glanced at Ye Chen and immediately showed a fierce expression on his face.
“Didn’t you see the signs outside? Only company cars can come in, who allowed you to drive around recklessly?”
Ye Chen calmly said, “I’m one of the company’s people, and she caused the accident by changing lanes. Even if the police come, I’m in the right, aren’t I?”
The beauty pointed at Ye Chen, “Look at his attitude!”
The security guard glanced at the car body and said, “I see there’s not much damage. Why don’t you apologize to Sister Wei?”
“No way, he must compensate me. If not with money, then kneel and kowtow to me, and I can let it go.”
Ye Chen couldn’t help but laugh, “This woman really takes wrong for right.”
You changed lanes and caused an accident, and you expect me to kneel and kowtow? That’s too much.
Ye Chen coldly said, “In that case, let’s call the police.”
“Call the police? This isn’t a public road, it’s an internal road, do the police care about this?”
The security guard whispered, “Young man, this Sister Wei is the company’s top card; if you offend her, you’ll have a hard time at the company.”
Ye Chen sneered, “Really? Who can’t have a good time at the company is yet to be decided.”
At this time, Ye Chen’s phone rang, it was Li Yao, the president of Light and Shadow.
“Mr. Ye, have you arrived at the company?”
Ye Chen calmly said, “No, I’m downstairs. There was a car crash, and our company’s top star demands I kneel and kowtow before she’ll let me go.”
“What?” Li Yao’s expression changed immediately.
With the poor economy, the company was on the brink of bankruptcy.
Suddenly, an investor offered to purchase the company.
Ye Chen was their company’s lifeline.
The company’s top star Li Yao knew was Sun Wei.
Sun Wei was a second-tier starlet, had appeared in several dramas, and was heavily promoted by the company.
Unfortunately, despite her beauty, her acting skills were lacking.
As a result, although the company invested quite a bit, she never became a hit.
Li Yao hurried downstairs and saw Sun Wei still relentless.
“Kid, if you don’t kneel and kowtow today, I guarantee you’ll be kicked out of Light and Shadow.”
Ye Chen sneered, “Oh really? I do think someone needs to be kicked out of Light and Shadow, but it’s not me, it’s you.”
