Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1306 - 1281: Ungrateful People
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
Zhou Jian became even more resentful of Ye Chen, and he vowed to make sure to get his revenge.
Ye Chen lay on the bed, his eyelids twitching, feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in his mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the external order, receiving Divine-level Creation, and acquiring all of Allen’s copyrights."
Ye Chen was taken aback upon hearing this. Originally, he thought the system had made a mistake with the order, that he had run a useless errand, and would not receive any rewards.
But who knew the system would give him such a surprise; he jumped up from bed in delight.
He understood what Divine-level Creation meant, but what was this copyright thing, and all belonging to Allen?
He picked up his phone and tried searching for Allen’s songs, but couldn’t find any; he tried searching for the movies Allen acted in, and still found nothing.
At the same time, countless music scores and movie scripts flooded into Ye Chen’s mind, and he finally understood what this copyright meant.
This meant that from now on, all songs and movies related to Allen no longer existed; they all belonged solely to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen couldn’t help but marvel to himself how powerful the system was, to be able to achieve this.
With these, he could fulfill Su Wanyi’s dream of starting an entertainment company.
Originally, Ye Chen had planned to give Su Wanyi a surprise during his proposal; he had been troubled about what to give, but now the timing was perfect.
Ye Chen calmed his excitement and went back to bed to sleep.
Suddenly, he remembered something and quickly dialed Su Wanyi’s number.
After a while, the call connected, and Su Wanyi’s voice came through: "Ye Chen, what’s up?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to check if you made it home." Ye Chen said.
Before Su Wanyi could respond, Ye Chen already knew the answer because he heard a lot of noise on the other end, clearly indicating that Su Wanyi was still at the banquet hall and hadn’t left yet.
"Oh, not yet, I’m chatting with friends." Su Wanyi replied with a smile.
"Wanyi, I see it’s getting late; I’ll drive to the hotel and take you home." Ye Chen said while getting up and getting dressed.
"No need, I’m leaving with friends; I’ll call you when I get home." Su Wanyi hurriedly declined.
She was very considerate, feeling it was somewhat inappropriate for Ye Chen to make a special trip to pick her up.
"Wanyi, I really don’t feel comfortable with you going home this late." Ye Chen insisted.
Several female businesswomen who had a good relationship with Su Wanyi were also at the banquet, and hearing the conversation between the two, they couldn’t help but tease.
"Wanyi, your boyfriend is really considerate."
"I’m so envious of you; it’s simply too sweet."
"You should introduce him to us sometime; I’d like to meet this man."
Su Wanyi’s pretty face turned red with embarrassment, and she quickly said: "Ye Chen, I’ll talk to you later; I’ll call you when I get home."
After she finished speaking, she promptly hung up the phone, her cheeks turning even redder, all the way to her ears.
Ye Chen also heard the teasing from the other side and didn’t call Su Wanyi back.
He thought about how Zhou Jian was no longer at the banquet, and figured there wasn’t much to worry about, especially since he had Su Wanyi’s location on his phone.
Ye Chen endured strong drowsiness until Su Wanyi’s call came before he dared to sleep.
As he kept yawning, the phone rang.
He glanced at it; it was Su Wanyi’s call. After connecting, a girl’s apologetic voice came through.
"Ye Chen, I’m home. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting so long; you must be really tired, go to sleep quickly."
"Alright, lock the door and get some rest too; let’s talk tomorrow." Ye Chen replied.
After putting down the phone, he fell asleep in no time.
Zhou Jian was still unable to sleep due to his lingering anger; if he couldn’t vent it soon, he might end up with internal injuries.
Despite his father’s warnings, he wasn’t afraid nor did he intend to back down; anyone who had ever dared to offend him had never had a good outcome, and Ye Chen was no exception.
Having suffered greatly at Ye Chen’s hands, he decided to change his target and go after the women around Ye Chen.
At the banquet, he observed Su Wanyi and Ye Chen behaving intimately; their relationship was undoubtedly special, so Zhou Jian targeted Su Wanyi.
He had already decided to start with Su Wanyi.
The next day, when Su Wanyi drove out from her home, she was kidnapped halfway, and surprisingly, no one dared to call the police.
Ye Chen stretched lazily after waking up, then his phone suddenly started ringing.
He answered the call with a smile: "Hey, little miss, are you secretly watching me? How come just as I wake up, you...?"
Ye Chen didn’t get to finish his sentence, as the other party interrupted him.
"Ye Chen, it’s me, Li Ming." Li Ming said.
"Li Ming? Why are you calling me? You already received the money, didn’t you?" Ye Chen asked.
"Ye Chen, don’t misunderstand, I did receive the money, but I’m calling to discuss something with you." Li Ming said with some embarrassment.
"What do you want to discuss with me?" Ye Chen asked.
"Ye Chen, I don’t want to sell that unfinished building anymore; I want to return the ten billion to you." Li Ming said nervously.
"Didn’t you use part of that money to repay your debts?" Ye Chen asked.
"Not yet; I haven’t touched a single cent of the ten billion. Would you agree to my proposal?" Li Ming asked softly.
Last night, Li Ming saw that news on his phone and regretted deeply; he regretted selling the unfinished building to Ye Chen. On the surface, it seemed like a gain, but in reality, it was a big loss.
He pondered it over and over, and somewhat hopefully made the call to Ye Chen, guessing Ye Chen might not have paid attention to that news.
"I disagree." Ye Chen replied flatly.
Li Ming didn’t expect Ye Chen’s refusal to be so straightforward. He hurriedly said: "I assume you’ve seen the news; how about all the profits from selling a third of the units go to you?"
"Li Ming, it’s not about the money; people should be trustworthy." Ye Chen said, feeling a bit annoyed.
Upon hearing this, Li Ming’s heart sank. He knew Ye Chen would never return that unfinished building to him under any circumstances; in frustration, he said: "We used to be classmates; you already have so much money, do you still care about this? Emotions are nonsense in the face of interests, aren’t they?"
Ye Chen was really not in the mood to listen to Li Ming’s endless nonsense, and unapologetically hung up the phone.
Ye Chen thought Li Ming was truly ungrateful; showing kindness and receiving no gratitude, but only this cold attitude made Ye Chen feel somewhat disheartened.
Actually, it wasn’t that Ye Chen cared about the money; it was mainly that taking the money back and returning the unfinished building to Li Ming would change everything.
This was Divine-level Investment used by Ye Chen; if the money was returned, it would imply he never used this skill, and everything would change, although Ye Chen never shared the truth with Li Ming.
He couldn’t be bothered to waste breath with such an ungrateful person.
