Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1061 - 1036: He’s a Hundred-Billion Tycoon

Considering Ye Chen's striking good looks, it was impossible for him to lack a girlfriend, right?

Ye Chen turned down the proposal to become his son-in-law on those terms and openly admitted to his father that he was already in a relationship, which only deepened Su Wan’er’s admiration for him.

Her fascination with Ye Chen grew even stronger.

Should Ye Chen have kept his relationship a secret and agreed to date her for the sake of fortune,

she would have felt let down by him once the reality came to light.

In Su Wan’er’s view now, Ye Chen possessed not just exceptional appearance and unmatched charisma, but also a steadfast sense of loyalty and honor.

A partner like that is the ideal male lead straight out of a manga.

Right then, Su Wan’er’s heart was utterly won over by Ye Chen.

She felt deeply touched by him, with tears welling up slightly in her eyes.

Su Dafu nodded approvingly after listening to Ye Chen’s response.

"Young fellow, I get it now, and your reply pleases me greatly. Truth is, that was a test from me earlier, and you aced it. Being upfront about your girlfriend shows me your true character, which I admire. I feel secure entrusting my daughter to someone like you."

"At this point, I’m more convinced than ever to welcome you as my son-in-law."

Ye Chen was left without words.

Are you still pretending like we're on a movie set? I outright declined, but you're persisting with the son-in-law idea.

Is wealth so impressive that it lets you bend rules at will?

Full of assurance, Su Dafu declared, "Don't worry, young man, I won't make you feel bad about your girlfriend. On top of that, I'll hand over another ten million to her as a parting gift for the breakup, easing any guilt for both sides."

The whole room buzzed with excitement right away.

Good heavens, that's the richest man in Jiangzhou for you—utterly bold.

To secure Ye Chen as his daughter's partner, he's offering ten million straight to the kid's current girlfriend as compensation?

Ten million represents a massive sum for any average household.

The wealthy truly operate on another level of lavishness.

This ought to eliminate every concern; surely the young man will accept now?

Su Dafu wore a triumphant expression; he was certain money would sway the boy.

Su Dafu was thoroughly impressed by how Ye Chen handled himself.

He's faithful and principled, plus he carries himself with remarkable poise and wisdom.

This matches precisely what he envisions in a prospective son-in-law.

He even contemplated in his mind designating Ye Chen as the successor to his vast fortune.

Isn't your girlfriend merely a high schooler?

Ten million from me means even after the split, she'll thank you profusely.

Emotions?

Ha, in this world, emotions hold the least worth.

When money enters the picture, emotions are merely fragile illusions.

Everyone in the room held their breath at that instant, eyes fixed on Ye Chen.

The live stream went quiet too, without any chatter.

All were anticipating Ye Chen's reply.

Meanwhile, in the control room, the director watched the monitor with thrill.

"Director, this part wasn't in the script—should we cut it off?"

The show was meant to wrap up after Ye Chen rescued the girl, but surprisingly, she placed a call.

And that sparked the chain of events that followed.

"Cut? You're joking—this is gold! Haven't you noticed the comments have skyrocketed past ten thousand?"

The director buzzed with energy; he hadn't foreseen Su Wan’er improvising a scenario where her tycoon father scouts a son-in-law live on air.

Viewership in the stream was climbing rapidly, hitting over a hundred thousand.

This shattered the program's record for peak audience since launch.

Both Ye Chen and the viewers never imagined Su Wan’er’s claim of a billionaire father was genuine.

Suddenly, Su Dafu’s phone started ringing.

"Old Su, remember how you wanted to connect with Lord Ye? I snagged his contact—why not ring him up soon to introduce yourselves, and we can set up a meal later."

Joy flooded Su Dafu’s face as he heard the message.

He’d long desired to network with Lord Ye.

"Absolutely, many thanks, Brother Ma."

Su Dafu seemed delighted.

Intrigued, Su Wan’er inquired, "Dad, what's got you grinning like that?"

Su Dafu answered, "I’ve got great news: Dad’s eager to link up with a major figure, and a buddy just paved the way."

As he spoke, Su Dafu rubbed his hands in anticipation.

"Hooking up with this powerhouse will propel our family to new peaks."

With those words, he whipped out his phone with eagerness.

"Dad!"

Su Wan’er had intended to remind her father they were recording, but the moment had passed.

Su Dafu had already pressed the dial button.

The live stream viewers were dying to know which heavyweight Su Wan’er’s father meant.

"Lol, I bet it's Ma Papa or someone like that."

"Gotta be a top-tier influencer."

Just then, the ringtone echoed.

Upon recognizing that sound, the crowd froze.

For it was Ye Chen’s mobile that was vibrating.

Glancing at his screen, Ye Chen paused briefly before picking up.

"Hello, Mr. Ye? This is Su Dafu, head of Su Group."

Ye Chen stared blankly at Su Dafu, who was phoning from mere feet away.

At once, Su Dafu stood there in shock too.

He comprehended that the voice from Ye Chen’s device was his very own.

What's happening here?

Is it possible?

Su Dafu’s expression shifted in an instant.

He pieced together that Ye Chen was the famed heavyweight.

His acquaintance had described Lord Ye as a multi-billionaire influencer.

Who opted for a modest life, often handling deliveries or rides via DiDi.

Is that it?

Su Dafu panicked completely.

Darn it!

The elusive tycoon had been in his presence the whole time.

Reflecting on his foolishness in pursuing Ye Chen as a son-in-law, Su Dafu flushed with shame.

It all made sense why he turned it down.

Compared to Ye Chen, he amounted to little.

Ye Chen grinned: "Hello, Chairman Su."

Su Dafu appeared mortified.

"You... you're Mr. Ye?"

Ye Chen affirmed: "Yes, indeed I am."

"Mr. Ye, my apologies—I failed to see who you were," Su Dafu stammered, utterly floored.

He could never have guessed that after all his boasts, the actual power player stood before him.

Ye Chen chuckled: "Well, dating your daughter isn't feasible, but friendship on equal terms could work."

Finishing that, Ye Chen strode off with effortless grace.

Behind him, the group remained utterly confused.

Su Wan’er gazed at her father, bewildered.

"Dad, who is he?"

Su Dafu seemed crestfallen.

"My girl, he's the Lord Ye I've spoken of—he controls billions in wealth."

"What?" Su Wan’er gaped in surprise.

She struggled to accept that this incredibly attractive and thoughtful guy was the elite her father referenced.

The live stream crowd was equally stunned.

Wow, that guy possesses billions in fortune.

"I'm smitten—this is the ultimate dream guy for the nation."

"He's drop-dead gorgeous; I've fallen hard for him—what now?"

"Handsome, incredibly kind, and loaded—perfection in human form."

The female viewers in the stream were instantly captivated by Ye Chen.
