Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
Yet another multi-world delivery order arrived, filling Ye Chen with eager curiosity about who he'd encounter this time.
Examining the system alert, he saw the customer wanted a spicy vegetarian dish this round.
Pondering briefly, Ye Chen deemed it simple enough and opted for a spicy hot pot.
He bolted from the hospital without a moment to wave at the nurses on duty.
At the parking lot, he jumped into his supercar and raced to the top spicy hot pot spot in the area.
He ordered the spicy hot pot, directing the owner to load up on extra chilies.
Grasping the steaming hot pot, Ye Chen slid into his vehicle, revved the engine, and sped toward a secluded location.
Suddenly, a wormhole shimmered into existence ahead of him.
Ye Chen strode directly into the wormhole.
Reemerging, he was already throttling a motorcycle through a brand-new world.
Onlookers clad in ancient garb stared at Ye Chen with wide-eyed shock.
Especially at the strange contraption he rode, which appeared wholly unfamiliar to them.
Brushing off the gawking crowd, Ye Chen's main goal was tracking down the food's recipient.
Following system navigation, he guided the motorcycle beside a bridge.
He stashed the bike under the bridge and ascended, hot pot in hand.
Spotting the man atop the bridge, Ye Chen beamed and declared, "Hello, I’m Ye Chen, the delivery person. Here is your food."
"Hello, Ye Chen, my name is Xu Xian, the scholar Hanwen," the man replied, taking the delivery from Ye Chen.
At those words, Ye Chen abruptly realized this was Xu Xian, and he'd crossed into The Legend of the White Snake world.
Xu Xian flipped open the food container, unleashing a tantalizing fragrance that sparked his hunger instantly.
Never before had he beheld such appetizing cuisine; the mere scent set his saliva flowing uncontrollably.
In this realm, he stood to meet the gorgeously enchanting Bai Suzhen.
"What kind of food is this?" Xu Xian asked, eyeing Ye Chen.
The yellow-robed figure before him struck Xu Xian as bizarre, utterly unknown in his lifetime.
Yet, confronted by this irresistible feast, Xu Xian shoved aside such thoughts, desperate for a taste.
The food's seduction proved too powerful to withstand.
Hastily, Xu Xian snatched vegetables with his chopsticks and popped them into his mouth.
One single bite, and he was utterly hooked.
Grinning, Ye Chen explained, "This food is called spicy hot pot, and it’s made with vegetables."
"Spicy hot pot."
This term rang entirely new to Xu Xian's ears, igniting instant fascination.
Ye Chen offered no further details, knowing explanations would fall on uncomprehending ears anyway.
Coming from separate worlds, full understanding between them was impossible.
The hot pot's divine flavor overwhelmed Xu Xian, driving him to devour bite after relentless bite.
With the excessive chilies Ye Chen had requested—potent irritants—Xu Xian's stomach soon churned uncomfortably mid-meal.
"Thank you, Brother Ye Chen, for the food. I still have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave," Xu Xian gasped, clutching his gut as he fled in haste.
Ye Chen called after him, "Brother Xu, if you like it, you can order delivery from me next time."
No answer echoed back.
Stomach pain likely consumed Xu Xian, blocking out all else as he fixated on finding relief.
As Xu Xian vanished from sight, a sly smile tugged at Ye Chen’s mouth.
Perfect timing—the plot dictated Bai Suzhen's imminent arrival for her fateful broken bridge rendezvous with Xu Xian.
Xu Xian's lingering would have left Ye Chen sidelined.
Just then, a white-robed lady and a green-robed one strolled up from beneath the bridge.
Ye Chen naturally identified them as Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing turned to her sister, "Sister, why did you come to the West Lake?"
"Great Master Guanyin advised me that if we are fated to meet, we must seek higher ground at West Lake," Bai Suzhen responded.
To her, higher ground signified the bridge, with the destined soul atop it.
Her eyes caught the yellow-robed man standing there, and Bai Suzhen pondered if this was her fated match.
The white-clad and green-clad ladies advanced slowly to the bridge, promptly reaching Ye Chen.
Gazing upon the lady in white, Ye Chen found himself completely stunned.
Clad in flowing white gauze, this Bai Suzhen resembled a heavenly fairy who had graced the mortal world, her stunning beauty eclipsing anything from movies or TV series.
Spotting Ye Chen right in front of her, Bai Suzhen momentarily lost her usual poise. This gentleman exuded true handsomeness and grace.
"Is he perhaps my benefactor?" Bai Suzhen pondered silently in her mind.
Drawn irresistibly to Ye Chen's striking looks, she convinced herself deep inside that he was the very person she needed to repay.
"Sister, sister." Noticing Bai Suzhen's entranced expression, Xiaoqing called out in a rush.
"Xiaoqing, what's the matter?" Bai Suzhen quickly pulled herself together.
"Sister, why are you gazing so fixedly at that gentleman? You've left him all flustered," Xiaoqing teased playfully.
"Xiaoqing, don't spout nonsense, or I'll have to scold you," Bai Suzhen said with feigned sternness.
Turning toward Ye Chen, she added, "Sir, please ignore what this girl just said."
"It's fine, it's fine—this Xiaoqing girl is quite amusing," Ye Chen replied with a casual wave of his hand.
"Sir, my sister has clearly taken a shine to you. Care to join us?" Xiaoqing declared fearlessly.
What a genuine fairy—even her voice commands such authority.
"Xiaoqing, cease this nonsense at once, or I won't utter another word to you." Bai Suzhen grew truly irritated this time.
Familiar with her sister's fiery temper, Xiaoqing immediately zipped her lips.
Ye Chen eagerly desired to accompany the White Snake and Green Snake back, aiming to capture the beauty's favor.
In the end, demon realm stunners outshone human women by far in allure.
Seducing a beauty was impressive enough, yet claiming a fairy would be utterly legendary.
"Sir, neither my sister nor I hail from around here—would you guide us on a West Lake excursion?" Bai Suzhen inquired, her head bowed demurely.
Elated by Bai Suzhen's offer, Ye Chen thought to himself how this White Snake stood apart, boldly taking the lead.
Ye Chen itched to explore West Lake alongside these two gorgeous women, for stunning companions always amplify the pleasure.
"Escorting the young ladies on a lake outing would thrill me to no end," Ye Chen responded promptly.
Suddenly, a flicker of discomfort crossed Bai Suzhen's face.
Ye Chen picked up on the oddity as well, though its cause eluded him.
