Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1438 - 1412: Investigating the Identity
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen walked out of the recording studio and went straight to the office.
He turned on his computer, registered accounts on several major music platforms, and uploaded the recorded song.
After completing all of this, Ye Chen let out a long breath; this was just the first step in his star project.
Ye Chen took out his phone again and dialed Su Wanyi’s number: "Honey, the song called Simple Love has been uploaded. Give it a listen and give me some feedback."
"Hubby, Grandpa just called me again. If you don’t go, he might really get mad," Su Wanyi reminded.
Initially, Ye Chen had planned to relax at home after a long day, take a nice bath, and wait for Su Wanyi to come home on the comfortable big bed.
Upon hearing this, he suddenly remembered that he had to go see Grandpa, unsure of what the old man wanted from him.
"Oh, I know. I’m going now. How about I pick you up on the way?" Ye Chen suggested.
"I’d love to go with you, but I haven’t finished my work yet. You better go by yourself," Su Wanyi said with a helpless expression.
Even if her work was done, she wouldn’t go with Ye Chen; after a busy day, she didn’t want to listen to the elderly’s nagging.
"Alright then, let’s get in touch once you’re done," Ye Chen said, looking disappointed.
After all, he hadn’t met Elder Su many times, and he wasn’t particularly familiar with him. If Su Wanyi were there, the situation wouldn’t be as awkward.
But since Su Wanyi couldn’t make it, Ye Chen had to go by himself.
Ye Chen left the company, went to the parking lot, and got into his car. As he was about to start the car, he realized there was one very important thing: the address of Elder Su’s house.
Helpless, he dialed Su Wanyi’s number again: "Wife, you haven’t sent me Grandpa’s address. How am I supposed to go?"
"Oh, sorry, I’ll send it to you right away," Su Wanyi said apologetically.
She had intended to send Ye Chen the address, but got so busy with work she forgot.
After receiving the address from Su Wanyi, Ye Chen started the car and headed to the destination.
After driving for nearly two hours, Ye Chen’s view became increasingly expansive.
As the navigation indicated he was nearing his destination, a manor appeared before Ye Chen’s eyes.
No wonder the old man didn’t want to move; if it were him, he wouldn’t want to either. The scenery here is simply too idyllic, nestled between mountains and water, a veritable paradise.
It was far from the city’s noise and clamor, giving a sense of tranquility and peace of mind.
This is exactly the kind of place Ye Chen wished to be when he grew old.
Ye Chen drove toward it, stopping in front of the main gate. He got out and knocked on the door, which was opened by a person dressed as a butler.
"Sir, who are you looking for?" the butler asked with a smile.
"Grandpa Su asked me to come. My last name is Ye, and my first name is Chen," Ye Chen replied.
The butler sized up Ye Chen’s attire and nodded, saying, "Mr. Ye, please wait a moment."
After speaking, the butler turned and left, entering the living room to inform Elder Su: "Master, there’s a gentleman named Ye Chen at the door."
"Oh, Old Zhang, let him in. I called for him," Elder Su told the butler.
The butler quickly jogged back to Ye Chen and said, "Mr. Ye, please come inside."
Ye Chen returned to his car and drove into the manor.
With the butler’s guidance, he parked the car and got out.
He didn’t walk directly inside but followed behind the butler instead.
The two arrived at the living room, where Elder Su was sitting on the sofa, sipping tea.
"Little Chen, come sit and have some water," Elder Su gestured for Ye Chen to come over.
The butler, seeing how courteous Elder Su was to Ye Chen, couldn’t help but feel curious, wondering about the young man’s background.
Ye Chen nodded and sat down beside Elder Su.
The butler hurriedly poured Ye Chen a cup of tea, saying, "Mr. Ye, please enjoy the tea."
Because Elder Su was so courteous to Ye Chen, the butler dared not slack off in treating the young man.
"Alright, Old Zhang, there’s nothing more for you here. You can go attend to other things," Elder Su waved at the butler.
"Yes, Master. If you need anything, feel free to call," the butler said wisely before leaving.
At this time, only Ye Chen and Elder Su remained in the living room.
"Grandpa, is there something you wanted to talk to me about?" Ye Chen asked directly.
"Oh, I just wanted to chat with you. Am I interrupting your time?" Elder Su replied.
"How could that be? Grandpa’s matters are the most important," Ye Chen said with a smile.
This was music to Elder Su’s ears, and he laughed, saying, "You sure know how to talk. Is this how you tricked my granddaughter into being with you?"
"Grandpa, I’m truly sincere with Wanyi. I’ve never used sweet talk to deceive her. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her," Ye Chen quickly explained.
"Calm down, I know my granddaughter well. She’s not easily impressed unless someone really stands out," Elder Su stroked his beard and said.
In fact, when he met Ye Chen at the birthday banquet, he felt that this young man was extraordinary and could see how much his granddaughter Su Wanyi loved this man.
"Grandpa, honestly, I don’t really have any outstanding qualities. I mainly won Wanyi over with sincerity, which is why she agreed to be with me," Ye Chen said humbly.
"Alright, no need to be modest. Frankly, I’ve had you investigated. Your wealth exceeds that of our Su Family," Elder Su stated.
Ye Chen found this old man quite interesting, being so straightforward about having investigated him.
Nonetheless, this incident also made Ye Chen feel that Elder Su was a frank person who preferred direct conversation, avoiding beating around the bush.
Dealing with straightforward people like this was enjoyable.
Actually, the reason Elder Su spoke to Ye Chen in this way was because he doubted Ye Chen’s wealth. After all, he spent a lifetime building up the Su Family’s fortune and status.
Yet Ye Chen, at such a young age, had already achieved so much, which inevitably raised suspicions.
But Elder Su’s reaction was perfectly normal.
At this moment, Ye Chen finally understood the reason Elder Su had called him over; it was simply to gather information about his identity to better understand him.
However, Ye Chen had no intention of revealing the truth to Elder Su. That was a secret known only to heaven, earth, and himself. If anyone else knew, it could spell disaster for him.
