Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1422 - 1396: Who Says I Didn’t Prepare a Birthday Gift?

Zhao Qing knew that Ye Chen, like himself, got into this birthday banquet through connections.

However, Zhao Qing felt superior because he was a department manager, so he felt quite pleased with himself, even thinking of Ye Chen as a freeloader, a boy toy.

Those men, seeing how familiar Su Wanyi and Ye Chen were with each other, couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy, but by looking at Ye Chen’s attire, they assumed he must be a young master from some wealthy family.

Without understanding the other party’s background, no one dared to act rashly. After all, any man who could capture Su Wanyi’s attention wouldn’t be an ordinary person.

"Which family’s young master is he exactly?"

"Look at how close he is with Miss Su, his background must be unfathomable."

"Miss Su is the true goddess in the hearts of men in Modu, her taste is so discerning, no ordinary person could catch her eye."

Upon hearing the crowd’s discussions, Zhao Qing knew his chance for revenge had come; he wanted to mock Ye Chen properly.

"Ye Chen, I heard your job is delivering takeout." Zhao Qing looked at Ye Chen with a smile and asked.

Originally, he thought Ye Chen would dodge the question, or feel embarrassed for being exposed in public.

But unexpectedly, Ye Chen nodded and said, "That’s right, I am indeed delivering takeout now."

Ye Chen knew Zhao Qing’s intention was to publicly embarrass him, but he didn’t care about people like that at all. So what if he delivers takeout? His net worth surpassed Zhao Qing’s by far.

The difference between Zhao Qing and Ye Chen was simply incomparable, a world of difference.

Hearing Zhao Qing’s words, the men present were all surprised, thinking he must be mistaken. How could someone dressed like Ye Chen be a delivery man?

When have you ever seen a delivery guy on the street wearing a suit worth hundreds of thousands?

But now that Ye Chen had admitted it himself, it was impossible not to believe it.

"Ah, how could it be? Miss Su’s boyfriend is actually a delivery guy."

"I thought he was a king, but it turns out he’s a bronze."

"How do I feel that he’s just a boy toy being kept by Miss Su?"

"I bet this outfit was bought with Miss Su’s money, such a shameless man, spending a woman’s money, truly despicable."

Listening to everyone’s accusations against Ye Chen, Zhao Qing was very pleased; he felt finally avenged.

After all, seeing Su Wanyi’s attitude towards Ye Chen earlier annoyed the surrounding men greatly.

Now that Ye Chen’s background was clear, it was time to properly taunt him.

How could Ye Chen care about these people’s words? He even felt their views were too short-sighted; they were all spoiled children only looking at others with biased views.

Most of these people were second-generation rich kids, living off their parents, with no skills of their own.

While everything Ye Chen had was earned through his own effort, how could he care about these people’s gossip?

Just then, a young man in a suit walked over, smilingly looking at the crowd and said, "You really have short-sightedness, how can you judge a person based on their job? Don’t look at people with tinted glasses, it’s too vulgar."

Then he turned to Ye Chen and said, "Brother Ye, don’t you agree with me? I think delivering takeout is great. Without you guys, how could we enjoy delicious food without stepping out? I have great respect for you laborers; it’s just a shame that because of my noble birth, I’m unable to do such a job, truly ashamed."

On the surface, this young man seemed to criticize those who taunted Ye Chen, but in reality, he looked down on Ye Chen’s job, and even felt that Ye Chen shouldn’t even be at this event.

"Young Master Zhou."

The crowd saw the young man approaching and addressed him respectfully, not daring to show any neglect.

This Young Master Zhou was the eldest son of the Zhou Family, one of the four great families in Modu. With his grandfather’s prestigious status, everyone treated him with utmost respect, not daring to slack in the slightest.

"Wanyi, do you agree with what I said?" Zhou Jun asked Su Wanyi with a smile.

He looked at Su Wanyi with burning eyes, and his intentions were very obvious.

But Su Wanyi looked at him with great disgust, not even bothering to respond to his words.

Though a bit embarrassed, Zhou Jun didn’t show it on his face. In this setting, he couldn’t afford to disgrace his family’s name.

If his grandfather found out, he wouldn’t let him off. Zhou Jun suppressed his anger; first, because Su Wanyi didn’t choose him, but instead was with a delivery guy, greatly frustrating him; second, in this setting, Zhou Jun wanted to present a radiant image in front of Su Wanyi, but she didn’t even pay him any mind.

This irked Zhou Jun greatly, but even so, he didn’t act out.

"By the way, Brother Ye, today is Grandpa Su’s birthday banquet. I’m curious, what gift did you prepare for the old man?" Zhou Jun asked Ye Chen with interest.

Ye Chen knew he was being provoked; if he ignored it, he’d seem weak, but as Su Wanyi suggested, he hadn’t prepared a gift.

Before Ye Chen could reply, Su Wanyi spoke, "Ye Chen and I gave Grandpa a longevity painting."

"Wanyi, that’s not right. As far as I know, you and Brother Ye aren’t married yet, so giving just one gift seems inappropriate. An uninformed person might think Brother Ye is stingy, not even preparing a birthday gift, which makes Grandpa Su lose face."

"Grandpa really likes Ye Chen, he doesn’t care what Ye Chen gifts," Su Wanyi retorted.

"Wanyi, what should I say to you? You’re still too young; although giving gifts for birthdays is a courtesy, it’s about caring for Master Su. If word gets out that Brother Ye doesn’t care about the old man, it’s quite inappropriate." Zhou Jun added aggressively.

Zhou Jun’s words were aggressive, leaving Su Wanyi somewhat unable to counter.

Lending support, others led by Zhao Qing chimed in.

"Not even a proper birthday gift, truly impolite."

"Isn’t this clearly putting Grandpa Su in a difficult position?"

"Such a boyfriend is better not to have, truly embarrassing."

Listening to the crowd’s discussions, Su Wanyi furrowed her brows, wanting to take Ye Chen and leave this place of dispute.

But Ye Chen looked at everyone and said, "Who said I didn’t prepare a gift?"
