Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1441 - 1415: Sleepless Night
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
Originally, Ye Chen thought that Elder Su hadn’t heard their conversation. After hanging up the phone, he walked over to Elder Su and said, "Grandpa, what were we talking about just now?"
"It was Wanyi calling, right? She must be urging you to come home," Elder Su said with a smile.
"No, she said I should spend more time with you," Ye Chen lied.
"Little Chen, you’re a good kid. There’s no need to lie to grandpa; I heard everything," Elder Su said.
He continued, "Alright, grandpa is feeling a bit tired and wants to sleep. You should hurry home to be with my darling granddaughter."
After speaking, Elder Su didn’t wait for Ye Chen to say anything else and walked back into the house.
Of course, he understood the old man’s thoughts and nodded, saying, "Grandpa, rest early. I’ll come to visit you another day."
"Be careful on the road and let me know when you’ve arrived home safely," Elder Su waved and said.
"Grandpa, don’t worry," Ye Chen said as he got into the car.
He started the car and headed home, where Su Wanyi was waiting for him.
Ye Chen accelerated to the maximum, managing to cover a nearly two-hour drive in just over an hour.
"Honey, I’m back," Ye Chen said with a smile as he opened the door.
Su Wanyi sat on the sofa with a pout, looking grumpy.
"Honey, what’s wrong? You look like a pufferfish," Ye Chen said as he sat down next to Su Wanyi.
"You still remember to come home? I thought you’d forgotten," Su Wanyi said crossly.
"Honey, what are you saying? Of course, I know to come home, especially with a lovely wife waiting here. How could I stay away?" Ye Chen said, lifting Su Wanyi’s chin with his hand.
"Please! If that were the case, why did you come back so late?" Su Wanyi said with a frown.
"Honey, you’re wronging me. Didn’t you say I should spend time with grandpa?" Ye Chen said, looking aggrieved.
"Yes, but I know grandpa’s character best. How could he let you stay that long? The old man has always loved peace and quiet," Su Wanyi argued.
"Honey, I’m not so sure. Grandpa not only wanted me to walk with him but also asked me to cook for him," Ye Chen said helplessly, clearly not agreeing with Su Wanyi.
"How could that be? Grandpa has a chef at home. How could he ask you to cook?" Su Wanyi said, half-believing and half-doubting.
"It’s strange, though. Today, grandpa’s chef happened to take the day off. Isn’t that quite the coincidence?" Ye Chen said with a laugh.
Hearing this, Su Wanyi also felt that this was very odd.
Before Su Wanyi could speak, Ye Chen added, "Honey, actually, grandpa feels quite lonely. He just wants us to keep him company."
"But grandpa isn’t willing to move out and live with us," Su Wanyi said, furrowing her brow.
"Honey, think about it. Wouldn’t you feel the same as grandpa? After all, that house is filled with so many memories," Ye Chen expressed his thoughts.
"Honey, you’re right," Su Wanyi nodded.
She also realized this was a tough situation with grandpa and asked Ye Chen, "Honey, what do you think we should do?"
"I think we shouldn’t force grandpa to do things he doesn’t like. Instead, we should spend more time with him. Wouldn’t that solve the problem?" Ye Chen suggested.
"But I’m so busy; where would I find the time?" This problem truly puzzled Su Wanyi.
"Aren’t you busy, but I’m here? I’ll just spend more time with grandpa. It’ll be like I’m expressing your filial piety," Ye Chen reassured with a smile.
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Su Wanyi felt truly touched.
"Honey, you’re really wonderful," Su Wanyi said emotionally, throwing herself into Ye Chen’s arms.
"Silly girl, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, you don’t need to worry about anything," Ye Chen caressed her hair, speaking with affection.
Su Wanyi nodded gently without speaking.
While Ye Chen was having dinner and chatting with Elder Su, the entire music industry was abuzz.
Initially, a blogger who promoted good music stumbled upon the song "Simple Love."
After putting the song on repeat, the more he listened, the more he felt, as if witnessing their first love.
Feeling touched, he only posted an excited emoji on Weibo, along with the link to the song and nothing else.
From this move, things spiraled out of his control.
The article was shared fervently in a short time, with the number of shares growing astonishingly, and it kept increasing.
Afterward, many reputable bloggers began recommending "Simple Love." Some genuinely found it touching, while a small number capitalized on the hype.
It turns out those who sought hype indeed made a wise decision.
Su Wanyi just found the song pleasant and chatted briefly with Ye Chen about it before they went to sleep.
Ye Chen felt that since the song was released online, time would reveal its success by the next day, so he didn’t check online again.
However, unbeknownst to them, by midnight, within just a few hours, the song had already climbed to the top ten on major music platforms.
Instantly, more people became interested in the song, some joining the crowd, others being professionals.
Because the song achieved such great success, no song had ever, upon its release online, reached top ten in just hours, with its ranking still rising, now in the top three.
At that moment, the executives of major music platforms wanted to understand the song better and were eager to find the song’s creators and uploader quickly.
With their keen instincts, they all knew that finding the right person first would lead to untold profits.
This song could be described as a phenomenally viral hit.
The executives even sacrificed their rest to search frantically, but what frustrated them was that the contact number left was a dead end.
