Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1498 - 1472: Teach You a Lesson
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
Ye Chen completely ignored Tang Qiang, even treating him like air.
It’s not that he’s afraid of the old guy, mainly because of Tong Xiaoya’s sake.
If he got into a dispute with this old guy, it would make things awkward for Tong Xiaoya.
Ye Chen originally intended to let things be.
But Tang Qiang was persistent, still babbling on.
He had never been disregarded by a young person like this.
Initially, Tang Qiang felt annoyed when he saw everyone flocking to Ye Chen, feeling that Ye took his limelight.
Now that Ye Chen treated him like air, how could he not be angry?
"Kid, I’m talking to you, did you hear me? Don’t think staying silent means you’re off the hook."
Ye Chen wasn’t one to be trifled with. Seeing Tang Qiang being so aggressive, he felt he should do something.
He wanted to prevent others from thinking he was pliable and easily bullied.
Ye Chen found Tang Qiang utterly ridiculous, unable to position himself correctly.
Even though he was a seasoned actor, even a Film Emperor, he didn’t stand a chance before Ye Chen.
He didn’t even qualify to be a sycophant.
Ye Chen thought this self-important Tang Qiang needed a lesson.
Suddenly, an Emperor’s Aura emanated from him, startling everyone present.
Tang Qiang felt a sense of oppression, even a tremor of fear in his heart.
But it lasted only a moment; as a veteran actor, he couldn’t disgrace himself before a younger man.
Tang Qiang couldn’t let others see him as a joke.
Seeing Ye Chen’s intimidating gaze, he pretended to be composed, saying, "Young man, speak if you have something to say, why glower at me."
"Moreover, do you know you’re standing in front of an old artist who’s dedicated his life to acting? Is this how you disrespect your elders?"
"You’re really uneducated, I wonder how your parents raised you."
Tang Qiang summoned boldness to say these words.
Veteran actors like him have a flaw; they pride themselves on their age and experience, looking down on young people and enjoying teaching them a lesson.
While speaking, Tang Qiang glared at Ye Chen with his eyes.
He knew he couldn’t lose in terms of momentum; he had to suppress Ye Chen.
Tang Qiang thought his words would compel young actor Ye Chen to apologize.
After all, in the film industry, acting skill reigns supreme. He had performed in countless roles over the years, surely superior to Ye Chen in acting skill.
With so many people on set, some would surely step in as mediators since a public brawl would not be favorable for anyone.
It would influence the entire film, so rationally and emotionally, someone would intervene.
In this way, he would have taught Ye Chen a lesson, solidifying his status within the team and achieving a scare tactic for others.
He wondered if young actors would dare ignore him after this.
As Tang Qiang looked triumphantly at Ye Chen,
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Get lost."
These words left Tang Qiang dumbfounded.
Ye Chen’s response was entirely opposite to his expectations. He watched Ye Chen pass by him without uttering a word.
Ye Chen felt a bit annoyed, thinking he hadn’t checked the calendar today to encounter such a fool.
Returning to his senses, Tang Qiang felt so angry he nearly coughed up blood.
He had never faced such treatment; Ye Chen’s behavior was like publicly slapping him in the face.
Tang Qiang’s old face burned hotly.
"Kid, are you asking for trouble?"
"If I had a son like this, I’d beat him to death myself. Fine, today, I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents."
As he spoke, he moved forward, intending to grab Ye Chen’s collar.
"You really think you’re something, don’t you?"
"Thinking of educating me in place of my parents, you simply aren’t qualified."
When Ye Chen said this, a murderous aura surged.
Tang Qiang was frightened into a sudden retreat, sensing a dangerous vibe.
Ye Chen didn’t touch him, yet Tang Qiang felt as if someone was choking his throat, making breathing difficult.
Tang Qiang, one who treasures life, hadn’t lived enough and certainly didn’t wish to die here.
Everyone present was shocked seeing this unfold.
Zhang Mou noticed the anger on Ye Chen’s face, feeling it was a stark contrast to the person moments ago, appearing terrifying.
Even more ruthless than the glint in the eyes of assassins in movies.
Seeing Tang Qiang’s pale face, no one felt sympathy for him, thinking he deserved it.
Tong Xiaoya was taken aback too. She spent a hefty sum to hire Tang Qiang, intending to film the movie well.
After all, the choice of actor is of utmost importance for a film.
Tang Qiang’s aura was perfectly suited for portraying Emperor Qin.
But what Xiaoya didn’t foresee was this old guy daring to clash with Ye Chen, truly ignorant of the danger.
What happened next surprised everyone: Ye Chen raised his hand and slapped Tang Qian on the face.
Tang Qiang was stunned by the sudden slap, frozen in place.
"Old fool, you really think you’re a big shot."
"This slap is to remind you to position yourself correctly."
Another "slap" echoed, leaving Tang Qiang dazed.
"Old man, this slap is on behalf of your parents, teaching you to be humble."
Then, the sound of slaps continued to reverberate on set.
"This is to remind you not to belittle young actors; they’re more dedicated and understand devotion better."
Ye Chen did it to teach Tang Qiang a lesson, to stop his arrogance.
At this moment, Tang Qiang’s face had been slapped into a pig-headed state by Ye Chen.
No one stopped Ye Chen, instead applause erupted.
Especially the young actors, their eyes even moist with emotion.
Since Tang Qiang joined the crew, he endlessly criticized their flaws, said they lacked acting skill and dedication.
Due to Tang Qiang’s status and standing in the entertainment and acting circles, these people could only swallow their indignation.
Simply had to endure the bullying from this old man.
Some had attempted to refute, but were ultimately suppressed by Tang Qiang’s arrogance.
Later, no one dared to say a word against Tang Qiang.
Today, Ye Chen’s actions thoroughly slapped Tang Qiang’s face, speaking up for everyone, stirring them deeply.
Ye Chen never was the type to swallow grievances, following the principle of mutual non-aggression; if someone offended him, he definitely wouldn’t let it slide.
