Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1219 - 1194: Husband Leads, Wife Follows

It was clear that Wang Qiang held no belief in Ye Chen's ability, assuming he was merely attempting to console him.

Ye Chen offered a slight nod and stated, "Your apology is accepted, but I genuinely must express my gratitude for presenting me with such an excellent avenue for profit."

Upon hearing Ye Chen's persistent remarks, Wang Qiang could only shake his head in resignation.

What was the point? He was on the verge of death; why should he needlessly argue with Ye Chen?

Witnessing Wang Qiang engaged in conversation with another man on the balcony above, the crowd below grew increasingly impatient.

"If you're a man, just take the leap already! Must I crane my neck to watch you for this long?"

"Since you intend to jump, don't hesitate."

"Are you jumping or not? Stop wasting our time."

Ye Chen's brow furrowed, reflecting on the utter lack of compassion displayed by these onlookers.

These words struck Wang Qiang deeply, and he murmured to himself, "Fine. Since you all wish for my demise, I shall grant your wish. I cannot live anyway."

With that declaration, Wang Qiang took hesitant steps forward, his foot already precariously over the edge.

Observing the imminent tragedy, Ye Chen swiftly cried out, "Wang Qiang, if you truly jump, you will lose everything!"

"Ye Chen, do you truly believe I'm unaware that I'll have nothing even if I don't jump?" Wang Qiang retorted with a bitter laugh.

"It's not like that. Please, trust me, you still have a genuine chance," Ye Chen insisted earnestly.

"My old classmate, please cease deceiving me. I know in my heart that I cannot possibly salvage this situation," Wang Qiang declared, shaking his head vigorously.

His agitation intensified with each passing moment; a misstep could easily lead him to fulfill the onlookers' morbid desires.

"Wait a moment, I need to make a phone call," Ye Chen suddenly announced.

Hearing this, Wang Qiang felt a surge of despair. He was moments from ending it all, and Ye Chen was composing himself for a phone call?

Despite his thoughts, Wang Qiang remained silent.

After all, he had wronged Ye Chen previously. Now, no matter what Ye Chen did, he had no grounds to fault him.

Ye Chen retrieved his phone and dialed Su Wanyi.

As the call connected, a young woman's voice inquired, "Ye Chen, what's up?"

Su Wanyi found it peculiar, as Ye Chen seldom called her. It must be something important.

As anticipated, Ye Chen spoke into the phone, "Wanyi, I require your assistance with a matter."

Witnessing Ye Chen actually contacting Su Wanyi, Wang Qiang felt utterly crushed. He never imagined the young man would call his girlfriend right in front of him, seemingly to boast.

He even perceived Ye Chen as heartlessly flaunting his relationship, a mere deliveryman with a beautiful girlfriend now.

In truth, the exceptional beauty of Ye Chen's girlfriend was something Wang Qiang had heard about from other classmates, fueling his envy at the time.

"Go ahead," Su Wanyi replied.

"Wanyi, could you assist me by purchasing two billion worth of stocks? I'll transfer the funds to your account momentarily," Ye Chen stated nonchalantly.

Because the call was on speakerphone, Wang Qiang could clearly overhear their entire conversation.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiang was momentarily stunned. It appeared Ye Chen wasn't lying; he genuinely possessed two billion.

It wasn't just him; even Su Wanyi was taken aback.

"Ye Chen, how do you possess such a vast sum? Where did it all come from?" Su Wanyi urgently questioned.

"Naturally, I earned it through food delivery," Ye Chen replied with a smile.

Ye Chen understood that Su Wanyi would likely find his explanation unbelievable.

However, even if she didn't believe him, there was little he could do. The reality was that Ye Chen's current wealth stemmed entirely from his food delivery endeavors; he simply hadn't disclosed this to Su Wanyi yet.

"Ye Chen, stop joking. If it were that lucrative, wouldn't everyone be delivering food?" Su Wanyi countered.

"Alright, Wanyi, I understand your concern, but my money is entirely legitimate. I need your help to buy shares in Donghua Pharmaceutical," Ye Chen clarified.

It was essential to note that Ye Chen had no prior experience with stock trading; otherwise, he wouldn't be seeking Su Wanyi's assistance.

He felt a twinge of exasperation, thinking to himself, "Women truly are complicated, always asking so many questions."

Yet, Ye Chen recognized that Su Wanyi's inquisitiveness stemmed from her genuine concern for him, a sentiment he deeply appreciated.

"Ye Chen, are you out of your mind? You want to buy Donghua Pharmaceutical stock? That stock is plummeting! I strongly advise you to reconsider," Su Wanyi cautioned.

Hearing this, Wang Qiang managed a strained smile. The young woman's words resonated with his own predicament; had he not relied too heavily on his own judgment, he wouldn't have suffered such utter defeat, leading him to this precipice.

"Wanyi, I've already transferred the funds to you. Just help me with the purchase," Ye Chen requested patiently.

He truly couldn't endure any further questioning from Su Wanyi.

Su Wanyi sat in her office, her eyes fixed on the twenty billion that had just been credited to her account.

She knew Ye Chen had made the transfer, but the thought of him using such a colossal sum to invest in a continuously declining stock filled her with a sense of heartache.

After all, Ye Chen was her man, and it would appear disrespectful if she refused his request.

She decided it was best to just comply and assist him with the purchase.

Su Wanyi skillfully navigated the process, following Ye Chen’s instructions to utilize twenty billion towards purchasing Donghua Pharmaceutical stock.

"Ye Chen, the transaction is complete. Please take a look," Su Wanyi said, letting out a sigh.

"Wanyi, thank you. You're truly wonderful," Ye Chen replied with a radiant smile.

"Ah, what can I say? I can only try my best to keep up with you," Su Wanyi responded before ending the call.

Ye Chen then strode a few steps closer to Wang Qiang.

He presented the stock purchase confirmation message to Wang Qiang, stating, "Wang Qiang, I wasn't deceiving you."

Upon seeing the message, Wang Qiang's expression became complicated.

The deliveryman, Ye Chen, whom he had consistently underestimated, was revealed to be an affluent hidden magnate, having just invested twenty billion in Donghua Pharmaceutical stock.

It seemed that Ye Chen’s earlier words held truth; Wang Qiang hadn't truly lost, the stock was merely experiencing a temporary downturn.

Ye Chen, clearly not foolish, wouldn't have made the purchase unless he was certain the stock would surge.

"Ye Chen, I suspect you are more than just a delivery person," Wang Qiang observed, looking intently at Ye Chen.

"Then what do you presume I am?" Ye Chen inquired with a hint of amusement.

"I believe you might be a rich second-generation heir, or perhaps a powerful tycoon," Wang Qiang speculated, a flicker of fear in his eyes.

"You may believe whatever you wish to," Ye Chen responded coolly.

Wang Qiang, still appearing apprehensive, continued, "Ye Chen, if you were to buy now, you certainly wouldn't face any losses. However, my situation is different. I acquired shares at 55 yuan each. Do you think it will ever rebound to the original price?"

"It absolutely will, and you'll profit handsomely this time," Ye Chen assured him with a wide grin.

Hearing this, Wang Qiang eagerly pressed, "To what price point do you anticipate it will rise?"

Ye Chen remained silent but conveyed his response through a gesture with his hand.

Observing Ye Chen's gesture, Wang Qiang's expression shifted to one of evident excitement.
