Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
"Weren’t you hungry? Why aren’t you digging in yet?" Ye Chen pointed at the dishes on the table.
Su Wanyi had actually been dying to pick up her chopsticks and taste the food, but she’d been holding back for the sake of face.
Hearing Ye Chen say that, she hurriedly picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of fish, and tasted it carefully.
The moment the fish entered her mouth, a burst of fresh fragrance and tender smoothness went straight to her taste buds.
Su Wanyi’s face showed an expression of pure enjoyment.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Ye Chen thought, is it really that serious?
He also picked up a bite and put it in his mouth. He had to admit, this fish was insanely delicious.
Even Ye Chen couldn’t help quietly praising his own shocking cooking skills in his heart.
Very quickly, the table full of dishes was almost completely wiped out by Su Wanyi, just like last time.
But unlike before, this time Ye Chen was actually feeling really hungry too.
Looking at the leftovers in front of him, he shook his head helplessly. He really hadn’t expected this woman to be able to eat that much.
Su Wanyi also said a bit sheepishly, "Hubby, I’m really sorry, the food was just too good, I actually forgot all about you."
Ye Chen said with a smile, "It’s fine. Seeing these dishes this popular makes me happy too."
After he finished, he stood up and headed toward the kitchen to see if there was any food left.
But Ye Chen tragically discovered that the fridge had nothing but eggs and some vegetables, basically no cooked food at all.
If he wanted to eat, he’d have to cook something fresh, but Ye Chen really couldn’t be bothered to cook.
He came back to the dining room and said to Su Wanyi, "Wanyi, I’m going out to buy something."
"Hubby, do you need me to go with you?" Su Wanyi asked.
"No need, I’ll be back soon. Just stay home and wait for me like a good girl." Ye Chen waved his hand as he spoke.
With that, he walked outside.
As soon as he stepped out the door, the system’s notification sounded in his head.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving a new Worldwide Delivery order. Accept?"
Ye Chen thought this was quite an interesting timing for an order.
"Accept."
He took a look at the customer’s request; it said they wanted something deep-fried.
Pretty much every young person loves stuff like fried chicken, and Ye Chen was no exception.
Every time he delivered food to a customer, Ye Chen always chose according to his own ideas, and he could always satisfy them.
Ye Chen decided to deliver fried chicken this time.
He drove toward a fried chicken shop, and when he arrived at the door, there was already a very, very long line.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Ye Chen couldn’t help but frown.
Worldwide Delivery orders have time limits. If he exceeded the time set by the system, not only would he lose the reward, he’d even be punished by the system.
Ye Chen definitely didn’t want something like that happening to him.
His eyes rolled and he came up with an idea.
Ye Chen didn’t line up, but walked straight into the shop.
Seeing Ye Chen in a delivery uniform, the owner asked, "You here to pick up takeout?"
Ye Chen shook his head. "I’m here to buy fried chicken."
This shop’s fried chicken was extremely famous, so the price was also shockingly high.
The owner looked Ye Chen up and down and said, "Go, go, go, stop messing around in here."
The people in the back had already been a bit upset seeing Ye Chen skip the line and walk straight to the front, but once they saw his delivery uniform, they figured he was picking up an order and didn’t say anything.
But the people at the front heard the conversation between Ye Chen and the owner and realized he was also here to buy fried chicken.
The people in line voiced their dissatisfaction: "If you want fried chicken, go get in line at the back. We’re all waiting here, you’re being totally immoral."
The owner’s face broke into a smile. He said to Ye Chen, "See that? Everyone behind you is unhappy with you."
Ye Chen ignored the owner and instead pulled out his phone and scanned the QR code on the window.
"Ten thousand yuan has been received in WeChat." The owner’s phone suddenly chimed.
"That should be enough to buy one serving of fried chicken, right?" Ye Chen said lightly.
Hearing this, the owner glanced at his phone screen. His face first showed shock, then blossomed into a huge grin.
"Enough, enough, it’s way more than enough." The owner was all smiles now, and his tone toward Ye Chen became extremely polite.
Seeing the owner packing fried chicken for Ye Chen, the people in the back were not happy.
But what were they going to do about it? Not a single person in that line would be willing to spend ten thousand yuan on one serving of fried chicken.
Ye Chen took the fried chicken but didn’t leave right away. He scanned the QR code again.
"Ten thousand yuan has been received in WeChat." The same notification came from the owner’s phone.
The owner stared at the phone screen, stunned.
He thought to himself, this young man in front of me is no delivery guy—he’s a bona fide rich guy.
"Sir, what’s this for? Haven’t you already paid?" the owner asked Ye Chen, looking confused.
"This money is for the people waiting in line. I’m really sorry for wasting everyone’s time, so consider it compensation for them," Ye Chen explained.
Hearing this, the people in line were instantly overjoyed. They hadn’t expected happiness to fall into their laps like this—someone was treating them to such expensive fried chicken.
Free fried chicken? So what if they had to wait a bit longer?
Ye Chen wasn’t normally the type to throw his weight around with money, but this time, he really had no choice.
The system only gave him so much time. If he queued up like everyone else, there was no way he’d complete the task.
After buying the fried chicken, Ye Chen grabbed the bag and found a spot where nobody was around.
A black hole appeared in front of him, and Ye Chen walked into it.
When he appeared again, Ye Chen was already in a world where everyone was dressed in ancient-style clothing.
"Where the heck is this?" Ye Chen was a bit confused.
Just as he was thinking, a familiar figure walked over from the distance.
He focused his eyes and saw that the person walking toward him was someone he’d met before. Turned out this was Tang Bohu’s world.
And according to the system’s prompt, his customer this time was also Tang Bohu.
Being sent back to a world he’d already visited before—those odds were really low.
Tang Bohu also saw Ye Chen in front of him. He waved and said, "Brother Ye, what brings you here?"
"I’m here to deliver takeout to you." Ye Chen handed the package in his hand over to Tang Bohu with a smile.
"Perfect, come, come, let’s go have a few drinks." Tang Bohu took the package and said.
They went to a tavern and found a seat to sit down.
Tang Bohu called the waiter over and ordered a few dishes and a few jars of Peach Blossom Brew.
While they were waiting for the food, Tang Bohu opened the takeout box. A rich fragrance wafted out, drawing everyone’s eyes in the room toward them.
"What on earth is that thing to smell so good? I’m literally drooling."
"That golden color alone makes it look incredibly delicious."
Everyone began to chatter. As ancient people, how could they ever have seen modern fried chicken?
