Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1491 - 1465: Drawing a Circle to Curse Him

Ye Chen heard that Zhang Ming actually portrayed himself so pitifully just to get him to join the Calligraphy Association.

He felt a bit helpless and even more repelled internally.

"Elder Zhang, I’m not very interested in calligraphy, so let’s not waste time. It’s getting quite late now, perhaps you should head home and rest."

Ye Chen’s words were very tactful and seemed considerate towards the other party.

In fact, he just wanted to leave and didn’t want to stay here any longer.

Zhang Ming and Sun Bolin certainly understood the meaning behind Ye Chen’s words.

Sun Bolin didn’t mind, after all, his goal had already been achieved.

But Zhang Ming was a bit upset, as Ye Chen’s words made it difficult for him to continue insisting.

The task of inviting Ye Chen to join the Calligraphy Association remained incomplete, and Zhang Ming had no other plans to persuade Ye Chen, so he had no choice but to get up and leave.

Sun Bolin and Zhang Ming left one after the other.

Once outside the tea house, Sun Bolin looked smug: "Zhang Ming, see? Master Ye indeed has keen eyes and made a wise choice, ultimately deciding to join our Literary Society."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ming felt somewhat uncomfortable; he simply couldn’t stand Elder Sun’s arrogant demeanor.

Although he didn’t successfully invite Ye Chen, he couldn’t appear weak in front of Sun Bolin.

"Elder Sun, just because I couldn’t invite Master Ye doesn’t mean someone else can’t, don’t you agree?"

"What ideas do you have?" Sun Bolin asked quickly.

He also wanted to know what Zhang Ming planned to do next.

"Alright, since you’re so interested, I’ll tell you. Talented young men like Master Ye surely appreciate talented women, don’t you think?" Zhang Ming said with a smile.

"What, you plan to use beauty tactics? That’s downright despicable," said Sun Bolin, his expression changing.

He hadn’t expected Zhang Ming to come up with such a scheme to get Ye Chen to join the Calligraphy Association.

"Elder Sun, don’t speak so harshly. Throughout history, talented men have been paired with talented women, surely they’ll have many shared topics," Zhang Ming proudly continued.

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Sun Bolin’s reaction, he got in his car and left.

After Sun Bolin and Zhang Ming left, Ye Chen also drove home.

Back home, Ye Chen parked his car and walked into the house, discovering that Su Wanyi was still awake.

"Honey, I’m back," Ye Chen announced as he entered.

"You certainly had a long gathering," Su Wanyi remarked, looking at Ye Chen.

"Honey, it wasn’t the gathering itself that took long, but a little situation just came up," Ye Chen explained.

"Oh, what situation? Is it related to Yingying?" Su Wanyi pondered and asked.

"What are you thinking? It’s got nothing to do with her, mainly I received invitations from both the Literary Society and the Calligraphy Association," Ye Chen replied.

Then he recounted the entire incident to Su Wanyi.

"Wow, hubby, such a thing really happened?" Su Wanyi said, half-believing.

"Yes, I didn’t expect those two elders to come knocking so soon; really, they’re a bother," Ye Chen expressed helplessly.

"Well, hubby, I think this is a good thing," Su Wanyi reassured.

"What’s good about it? Later, the Literary Society elders will certainly keep bothering me," Ye Chen said, rubbing his throbbing forehead.

"I think it’s great; otherwise, you might get bored at home. This could cultivate interests and pass the time," Su Wanyi said with a smile.

In Su Wanyi’s eyes, Ye Chen seemed quite idle.

She thought this way, he wouldn’t feel bored without her company.

"Alright, honey, let’s not talk about this anymore. Every time I think about it, I get a headache. It’s late, let’s rest," Ye Chen suggested.

"Oh, hubby, did you find out who the backstage perpetrator was that kidnapped the two girls at the concert?" Su Wanyi suddenly asked.

"Yes, I’m investigating it. Leave this matter to me," Ye Chen nodded and said.

"Hubby, I think this matter should be urgently investigated. I’m worried someone might expose it, affecting our company’s reputation," Su Wanyi expressed concern.

"Rest assured, these two girls are my juniors; they won’t talk to outsiders. Don’t worry," Ye Chen said, patting Su Wanyi’s shoulder.

"Are you sure..."

Just as Su Wanyi was about to say more, Ye Chen intervened: "Don’t worry, everything is under my control. I’m really tired, let’s sleep."

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Su Wanyi stopped speaking.

She knew Ye Chen could certainly handle the matter well.

Saying more might show distrust in him.

The next morning, Ye Chen got up and found that Su Wanyi had gone to work as usual.

Ye Chen received a call from Xie Yingying as soon as he woke up.

"Brother Ye Chen, did you know? Yesterday at the banquet, Zhou Tao ended up miserably," she said excitedly.

He could hear the excitement in the girl’s voice.

"Oh, really?" Ye Chen replied faintly.

"Absolutely, I heard that Zhou Tao was thoroughly scolded by Elder Sun at the banquet and even removed from his position as the poetry society president. Isn’t that what he deserves?" Xie Yingying said, clearly excited.

"Such a thing happened?" Ye Chen feigned surprise.

Actually, last night when Sun Bolin invited him to join the Literary Society, he had already been informed that Zhou Tao received punishment for disrespecting him.

"Yes, looks like Zhou Tao will have to keep a low profile now. Serves him right for provoking Brother Ye Chen, even daring to say such things about you in public yesterday, he brought this upon himself. I think the punishment’s even quite light," Xie Yingying said, her voice displeased.

"You little girl, you really don’t have any sympathy," Ye Chen said with a laugh.

"Humph, anyone who speaks ill of Brother Ye Chen deserves a curse," Xie Yingying replied, her cheeks puffed in anger.

"Alright, knowing I have such a formidable little girl like you around, I bet no one dares cross me in the future," Ye Chen said, smiling.

"That’s right, I’ll always be there to protect you, not letting anyone bully you. Anyway, I’ve got class now, so I’ll talk to you later," Xie Yingying said and hung up.

Just as Ye Chen heard the sound of the school bell through the phone, he felt a surge of warmth.

This little girl was just too adorable; even though they’d known each other for a short time, she was so protective of him.
