Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1549 - 1523: Attending the Charity Gala
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
Zhao Xiuling and her daughter returned to the ward, and when they saw their awakened husband, their expressions turned very emotional.
The family of three hugged each other like this.
The things they had been worried about for a long time were finally resolved.
"Old Fan, you know, when you were having surgery just now, I thought about many things. I was really worried about what life would be like for Yingying and me if you didn’t come off the operating table."
Zhao Xiuling said with a choked voice.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Isn’t Dad fine now?"
Fan Ying hurriedly said.
Ye Chen drove away from the hospital with Su Wanyi.
He was about to ask Su Wanyi where to go when the girl spoke up.
"Ye Chen, I’m not going home. Take me somewhere."
"Okay, where do you want to go at this hour?"
Ye Chen asked.
"I want to go to a charity auction."
Su Wanyi said with a smile.
Then she looked at Ye Chen and continued.
"Husband, since you don’t have anything else to do, why don’t you come with me?"
Ye Chen thought about it and decided it was fine. If he went with Su Wanyi, he wouldn’t have to make an extra trip back.
Since he would have to come back to pick up this girl later, he might as well go to the auction with her.
Maybe he might see something interesting at the auction.
"Alright, I’ll reluctantly accompany you then."
Ye Chen said.
The two of them drove toward the Crown Hotel.
This auction was being held in the banquet hall of this hotel.
Of course, the guests attending this charity auction were all prominent figures in Modu.
At the hotel entrance, luxury cars were gathered, and the men and women getting out of these cars were dressed very lavishly.
Generally, the men wore suits, and the women wore evening gowns.
However, Ye Chen and Su Wanyi dressed differently.
They both wore casual clothes.
The guests all walked toward the hotel.
Zhang Shuang and Xu Kai were also in this group. They were invited to attend the charity auction.
Mainly because the Xu Family was also a powerful family in Modu.
Zhang Shuang was wearing a Dior haute couture dress today, complemented with very luxurious jewelry.
She looked radiant.
Seeing Zhang Shuang come in, the men’s gazes were deeply attracted to her.
Zhang Shuang was also very proud, and standing beside her, Xu Kai felt even more prestigious.
Of course, these big families sent their younger generation to show their concern for charity.
Although there was competition between families in business, it did not hinder the feelings among these young people.
Xu Kai saw Zhou Tao, Zhou Jun, and others standing inside and greeted them with a smile.
These men also greeted back politely, but their eyes were not on Xu Kai, but the girl beside him.
"Xu Kai, you’re amazing to have such a beautiful girlfriend."
"Really so envious of you, after so many, you finally found such a good one."
"Ah, why don’t I have such luck?"
Hearing everyone’s compliments, Zhang Shuang felt a surge of pride and greeted the young masters gracefully.
"Alright, stop talking about me. Why didn’t you bring your girlfriends here?"
Xu Kai looked at everyone and asked.
"We don’t have your good fortune, if we had such beautiful girlfriends as you, we would surely bring them."
One of the young men said.
Zhou Jun and Zhou Tao’s situations were different from this guy; they had people they liked, but the feeling wasn’t mutual.
The young men chatted happily, while Zhang Shuang stood by, looking around.
She could see that no other female guest today could outshine her in looks.
This meant she was the queen of the day.
While Zhang Shuang was feeling proud, suddenly she heard someone shout.
"Look, isn’t that the business goddess Su Wanyi?"
The name Su Wanyi was very famous in Modu’s upper society.
It wasn’t just because Su Wanyi was beautiful, but because as a woman, she could navigate the business world like a man and manage the company so well.
Even those men somewhat admired her.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gazes to the door.
They saw Su Wanyi walking in, holding onto Ye Chen’s arm.
The crowd was very familiar with Su Wanyi, but they didn’t know the man beside her.
However, Zhou Jun and Zhou Tao recognized Ye Chen.
Because it was this man who made them lose face in front of everyone.
Zhang Shuang was also a bit surprised to see Ye Chen.
Being with Xu Kai, she knew a bit about business matters and was aware of Su Wanyi’s prowess.
She didn’t expect Ye Chen to be so close with Su Wanyi, and it seemed the two were certainly a couple.
Xu Kai also found this young man familiar and asked Zhang Shuang.
"Little Shuang, this guy was your junior high school classmate, right."
"Yes, I didn’t expect to meet him here."
Zhou Jun and Zhou Tao’s expressions were not only surprised but also filled with anger.
"Why does this delivery boy keep popping up everywhere? It’s really infuriating that he can come to such an occasion."
Ye Chen certainly didn’t expect his arrival to depress so many people.
As Su Wanyi appeared, the men’s eyes no longer looked at Zhang Shuang—it’s said that clothes make the man.
Su Wanyi’s looks, even in casual attire, made her very charismatic, completely overshadowing Zhang Shuang.
Everyone could see that Zhang Shuang relied on her gorgeous clothes to highlight her beauty.
But Su Wanyi didn’t need any of that.
Zhang Shuang was very upset in her heart; looking at this beautiful woman in front of her, she felt a bit jealous.
"Young Master Zhou, your dream girl has arrived."
Xu Kai teased Zhou Jun, who had a grim expression.
Zhou Jun was grinding his teeth in anger; he couldn’t understand how a proud woman like Su Wanyi could be with a delivery guy.
Of course, although he was unwilling in his heart, he had seen Ye Chen’s prowess at Elder Su’s birthday banquet before, and naturally did not dare to provoke him further.
Lin Shiyin was also among the guests; she was very happy to see Ye Chen’s arrival, it was a perfect chance to give Ye Chen a surprise.
Wu Tong, standing beside her, was also gritting his teeth.
Ever since Lin Shiyin met Ye Chen, she often praised him in front of Wu Tong.
One must know that Lin Shiyin never admired or praised anyone before, and Wu Tong vaguely felt that Lin Shiyin’s feelings for Ye Chen were special.
How could he let the girl he liked fall for another man?
Ye Chen never expected to encounter so many adversaries here today.
