Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1424 - 1398: Is This the Birthday Gift?

Ye Chen looked at the vegetables he had put in earlier; he barely recognized them now. Not only had they grown very large, but their colors were also stunningly beautiful.

He walked inside, searching for a birthday gift. If he were to take out these gigantic vegetables as a gift, surely the guests present would all run away in fear.

But Ye Chen now had only these options left. Suddenly, he spotted something about the size of a watermelon.

"Alright, it’ll be this." Ye Chen picked the round thing off.

Then he hugged the round thing and walked out of the magical space, not having had time to see what it was.

Ye Chen emerged from the magical space and appeared back in the car.

He examined the thing carefully for a long time, and suddenly, as if remembering something, realized that this was the potato he had previously thrown into the magical space.

But now this potato looked completely different, its original appearance unrecognizable, except for its color.

Anyway, nothing like it had been seen in the market before. Ye Chen chose it mainly because its size was acceptable to most people, unlikely to cause them to be scared.

Ye Chen got out of the car, hugging the round potato as he walked toward the hotel entrance.

In his mind, the benefits of the thing suddenly flashed: refreshing the mind, strengthening the body, extending longevity.

From these benefits, Ye Chen knew this was definitely a good thing. Even without mentioning other things, the prolonging of life was equivalent to the long-sought immortal elixir by Emperor Qin Shi.

The waiter saw the thing Ye Chen was holding and showed some puzzled expression because it was nighttime, and he couldn’t see clearly, only felt Ye Chen was holding a big ball.

Su Wanyi saw Ye Chen coming in, quickly smiled and said, "Ye Chen, you’re back."

"Wanyi, didn’t I ask you to wait for me inside? Standing here is so tiring." Ye Chen said with a face full of concern.

"I just couldn’t feel at ease about you." Su Wanyi pretended to be aggrieved.

Of course, Ye Chen appreciated Su Wanyi’s sentiment; he knew with Su Wanyi’s character, she wouldn’t stand here waiting for someone.

If it weren’t for love, she wouldn’t have done this.

"Alright, alright, let’s go inside." Ye Chen said with a smile.

At this moment, Su Wanyi noticed the thing in Ye Chen’s hand.

"Ye Chen, what is this?" Su Wanyi asked with an amazed expression, looking at the ball in Ye Chen’s hand.

The waiter at the entrance was also very curious about the thing Ye Chen was holding, and upon hearing Su Wanyi ask, he quickly perked up his ears to listen.

"It’s a birthday gift for Grandpa." Ye Chen replied naturally.

"You’re giving Grandpa that thing that looks like a watermelon as a birthday gift? I think we should reconsider, Ye Chen. I believe Grandpa won’t care about this at all." Su Wanyi advised.

"How can that be? Don’t worry, Wanyi, I guarantee Grandpa will like it." Ye Chen spoke confidently.

"Ye Chen, should you reconsider? I think it’s better to put that thing back in the car." Su Wanyi frowned and advised again.

She truly couldn’t imagine the effect if Ye Chen walked into the banquet hall holding that thing.

Su Wanyi knew that led by Zhou Jun, people would definitely taunt and ridicule Ye Chen again, and she didn’t want to see that scene.

"No need, darling, this really is a good thing, trust me." Ye Chen said firmly.

The waiter heard the couple’s conversation and thought the world of the wealthy was really inexplicable, using vegetables as a birthday gift. Although he hadn’t seen much of this kind of melon, he knew it was just for cooking, without anything mystical to it.

He also guessed that if Ye Chen walked into the banquet hall holding this melon, he would definitely be laughed at.

Seeing Ye Chen insisting on using the thing as a birthday gift, Su Wanyi had no choice but to agree.

Today was supposed to be a happy day, and she didn’t want this small thing to cause any conflict or discomfort between the two.

"Alright, then let’s go." Su Wanyi nodded and said.

Ye Chen held the melon, Su Wanyi linked her arm with his, and the two headed towards the banquet hall.

As the two walked in, the crowd’s gaze was once again attracted to them.

Not just because they looked like a golden couple but more because of the strange thing Ye Chen was holding.

Father Su and Mrs. Su also saw the thing in Ye Chen’s hand and couldn’t help but furrow their brows.

The surrounding people started discussing it too.

"Why is this young man holding a melon?"

"Yeah, I just saw him go out, and now he’s back holding this thing. I truly don’t get it."

"Is he going to use it to cook for us?"

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Father Su and Mrs. Su were even more puzzled, wondering what Ye Chen was up to.

At this moment, Ye Chen had walked in front of the couple; since Master Su was still resting in the room, Ye Chen handed the thing he was holding to them.

He smiled and said, "Uncle, Aunt, this is the birthday gift I prepared for Grandpa."

As soon as Ye Chen mentioned the word ’birthday gift’, the previously quiet banquet hall became lively.

"What kind of birthday gift? Did I hear wrong?"

"Are you kidding? Using a melon as a birthday gift? This thing looks so cheap."

"The Su Family will surely lose face now. The grandson-in-law can’t even afford a proper birthday gift."

"I think this man is really not great, poor Miss Su."

Listening to the surrounding comments, Father Su and Mrs. Su’s expressions turned somewhat grim.

They felt Ye Chen was being reckless; if they were alone, it wouldn’t matter that much.

But with so many guests present, wasn’t this embarrassing for the Su Family?

"Wanyi, do you know what day it is today? This is simply nonsense." Father Su looked at Su Wanyi with a face of reproach.

Su Wanyi was also very aggrieved; if she had known Ye Chen was taking this thing, she definitely wouldn’t have let him take it.

Now that things were already like this, what could she do?

"I didn’t know either." Su Wanyi shook her head and said.

Seeing his daughter’s innocent face, Father Su knew Su Wanyi didn’t know about this beforehand.

"Little Chen, come here, Uncle has words to say to you." Father Su looked at Ye Chen and said.

"Okay, Uncle, I’ll just put this on the table first." Ye Chen said and put the ball down, then turned around and walked out with Father Su.

Su Wanyi watched with a worried expression as Ye Chen and her father walked away. She knew her father would surely scold Ye Chen.

Just as she was about to step out the door, Mrs. Su stopped her.

"Wanyi, you’re not allowed to go anywhere; stay here honestly."
