Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1510 - 1484: Pulled Into It
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
The next second, the suck-up guy hastily pleaded.
"Sasha, I made a mistake, please give me another chance."
Ye Chen knew the more a man acted like this, the more people would look down on him.
Sure enough, the girl didn’t even glance at the man and happily went upstairs.
The suck-up guy looked dejected, sighing constantly.
He even regretted his decisions, thinking that with his conditions, the girl would hesitate.
After all, the two had been together for so long, there should be feelings involved.
But much to the man’s surprise, the girl accepted his breakup proposal readily, showing no intention to hold onto the relationship.
"Bro, it’s not worth it," Ye Chen consoled him.
He genuinely felt this buddy was pitifully tragic.
What made the suck-up guy even more upset was when Ye Chen’s phone rang a moment later.
Surprisingly, it was a call from that girl.
Ye Chen hesitated for a moment but still answered.
As soon as the call connected, the girl’s excited voice came through.
"Hey, handsome, let’s go on a date tomorrow."
"Miss Sasha, I think you called the wrong number?"
"No, it’s you I wanted to call,"
The girl earnestly stated.
The suck-up guy stood aside, his face turning extremely grim.
He couldn’t believe that not only was a delivery more important than him, but even a delivery guy held more significance in the girl’s heart than he did.
At this moment, his heart was utterly shattered.
This girl named Sasha actually valued appearance above all else; she knew the guy had everything going for him except looks.
When she came downstairs and saw how handsome the delivery guy Ye Chen was, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of infatuation.
Before Ye Chen could speak, the suck-up guy grabbed Ye Chen’s phone and yelled.
"You’d rather date a delivery guy than me, what’s this about?"
"Since you want to know, I’ll tell you. It’s because you’re ugly, and that guy is handsome,"
The girl said with an infatuated tone.
"But what good is being handsome if it can’t feed you? How can his monthly salary compare to mine, and can he give you everything you want?"
The suck-up guy questioned.
Ye Chen listened on, feeling somewhat speechless, wanting the unfortunate man to face reality and act decisively.
Who knew he would get caught up in this mess.
Ye Chen intended to retrieve his phone but was deterred by the intimidating look on the guy’s face.
He had no choice but to wait for him to finish venting.
"I just like handsome men, and though his earnings are indeed less than yours, I’m willing to support him. Plus, I don’t care about the things you gave me,"
The girl retorted.
Her words once again pierced the man’s heart; the girl would rather support Ye Chen than be with him, truly ironic.
"Hand over the phone to the handsome guy, I want to talk to him,"
With a furious expression, the suck-up guy handed the phone to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen cautiously took the phone.
"Miss Sasha, stop joking, alright?"
"Handsome, I’m not joking, you heard those words just now, right? I’m serious,"
The girl reiterated her feelings.
"Well, I don’t have time to chat here with you. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up,"
Ye Chen realized he couldn’t continue talking to the girl.
He noticed the murderous glint in the man’s eyes and felt a chill.\p>
If looks could kill, Ye Chen wasn’t sure how many times he’d have died by now.
"Bro, I’m leaving, take care,"
Ye Chen said to the suck-up guy, whose anger was about to explode.
As he turned away, he heard the man roar, followed by the sound of something being stomped underfoot.
Ye Chen knew the trampled item was surely that poor, unwanted bouquet of roses.
The girl named Sasha called several more times, but Ye Chen didn’t answer.
He couldn’t understand why the man liked such an annoying woman and decisively blocked her number.
Checking the time, Su Wanyi should be off work now.
Ye Chen didn’t take any more orders but drove home instead.
After parking the car, Ye Chen was eager to surprise Su Wanyi, only to find she hadn’t returned yet.
"Honey, where are you?" Ye Chen called Su Wanyi and asked.
"I’m out shopping with some girlfriends, then we’ll have dinner outside. How’s your work going?"
Su Wanyi replied.
Ye Chen opened his mouth, wanting to say he was home.
But he ultimately didn’t say it, mainly because Su Wanyi rarely went shopping with her friends.
Usually busy with work, Ye Chen didn’t want her to miss out on such a chance because of him.
"Oh, I’m still working. You go enjoy yourself, and we’ll talk when you get back," Ye Chen fibbed softly.
"Alright, then I won’t keep you,"
Su Wanyi said and hung up.
Alone at home, Ye Chen felt a bit lonely.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
He looked and saw it was from Tong Xiaoya.
"Ye Chen, you are too inconsiderate, leaving just like that,"
"Sister, did you forget? I told you when I left,"
Ye Chen felt a bit speechless at Tong Xiaoya’s remark, knowing full well he had said goodbye.
"I know that, but rejecting the lead role made me angry. Plus, you only stayed awhile as an acting coach and left, isn’t that a bit much?"
"Tch, you don’t even pay me, and I did coach the actors as you requested,"
Ye Chen replied.
Before Tong Xiaoya could respond, Ye Chen chuckled, saying, "Xiaoya, stop beating around the bush, just say what you have to say."
"Ye Chen, it’s like this, Director Zhang asked me to call you. He wants me to persuade you to take the lead role, saying if you do, the movie is sure to win an Oscar,"
"You know it’s my first film, and I want it to do well, can’t you help me out?"
On the other end, Tong Xiaoya pleaded.
"Xiaoya, it’s not that I don’t want to help; I’m really strapped for time, okay?"
"Come on, just skip a few deliveries and help me out, won’t you?"
"Xiaoya, I’m truly sorry, I really can’t help this time, plus, even though Tang Qiang may be arrogant, he can definitely handle the lead role. I also gave him some pointers on set,"
Ye Chen said with a troubled expression.
"Ye Chen, there’s something you might not be aware of,"
Tong Xiaoya hesitated, feeling she ought to inform Ye Chen about it.
