Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1550 - 1524: All Familiar Faces

People who knew Ye Chen before all looked at the door with astonishment.

Zhao Shuang was really frustrated, never expecting that the man she looked down upon would suddenly become the boyfriend of a goddess in the business world.

Moreover, the Su Family held a very high status in Modu.

Xu Kai also gave Zhao Shuang a glare.

"Your ex-boyfriend turned out to be the son-in-law of the Su Family, that’s quite impressive."

He said this to test his girlfriend beside him.

After all, since Ye Chen got connected with the Su Family, he would surely thrive in the future.

Xu Kai knew his girlfriend very well; she was definitely a vain woman.

Since she dumped Ye Chen before due to his lack of ability, it might be his turn next.

"Honey, why are you looking at me like that? How would I know this guy would climb up the Su Family? But even if so, there’s nothing to brag about; to me, he’s just living off a woman."

Zhao Shuang looked at Ye Chen with disdain as she spoke.

Though she said that, in her heart, she was still a bit surprised by Ye Chen.

She had heard of Su Wanyi; no ordinary man could win over this Ice Queen’s heart.

How did Ye Chen manage it? Perhaps he was not as simple as he seemed.

Hearing this, Xu Kai felt much more at ease.

Seeing these elite family heirs, Ye Chen wasn’t surprised.

However, here he saw Sun Bolin, Zhang Ming, and the beauty Lin Shiyin, whom he met before and invited him to join the Calligraphy Association.

Zhang Ming saw Ye Chen and said with a smile.

"Mr. Ye, didn’t expect to see you here. I thought you wouldn’t attend this kind of event."

Before Ye Chen could reply, Sun Bolin looked at Zhang Ming with displeasure and said.

"Zhang Ming, what you said is wrong. Why wouldn’t Mr. Ye attend this kind of event? You must know this is a charity event."

Sun Bolin had been holding a grudge because Zhang Ming used beauty tactics, sending Lin Shiyin to invite Ye Chen to join the Calligraphy Association.

He never imagined that Zhang Ming would use such methods to achieve his goal.

Zhang Ming knew his actions were somewhat inappropriate, so he didn’t want to argue with Elder Sun.

After all, they were in a public setting and needed to be mindful.

At this moment, Ye Chen also saw Lin Shiyin.

Lin Shiyin looked at the girl beside him and then said with a smile.

"Ye Chen, so you have a girlfriend, and a very excellent one at that."

Ye Chen smiled, nodded, and said nothing.

Su Wanyi chuckled and spoke.

"Miss Lin, you’re too kind."

In fact, Su Wanyi had noticed Lin Shiyin before.

This girl had a naturally different charm.

For some reason, she kept wondering what Ye Chen’s reaction would be upon seeing such a girl.

What surprised Su Wanyi was that the two had already known each other before.

Lin Shiyin smiled, looked at Ye Chen, and said.

"Mr. Ye, I’ll give you a surprise later."

After hearing that, Ye Chen’s expression was a bit awkward.

In such a setting, Lin Shiyin spoke to him like that, not only drawing envious gazes from nearby men.

But what worried Ye Chen more was sensing the dissatisfied look his girlfriend gave him.

After speaking, Lin Shiyin left with a proud look.

"Ye Chen, it seems like every beauty is connected to you; your romantic luck is really abundant."

Hearing this, Ye Chen quickly explained.

"Wanyi, this Miss Lin is someone I met at Yingying’s school. She approached me asking me to join the Calligraphy Association, and there’s nothing else."

"Are you sure there’s nothing else? I don’t think so. That Miss Lin talks to you so passionately and even mentioned giving you a surprise. I’m curious to see what surprise she’ll bring you."

Su Wanyi said with a displeased expression.

She felt this Lin Shiyin was audacious, daring to speak to Ye Chen right in front of her, knowing she was Ye Chen’s girlfriend.

Ye Chen could sense Su Wanyi’s jealousy, but he felt innocent.

They only knew each other because of the Calligraphy Association.

He didn’t expect this girl would speak like that in front of everyone, nor did Ye Chen.

Ye Chen didn’t dare to say much, following Su Wanyi like a child who did something wrong.

The auction began, and the guests took their seats.

Ye Chen glanced at Su Wanyi from time to time, not wanting her to misunderstand because of this incident.

The staff presented the first auction item, a delicately carved jade ornament.

The hostess smiled and said.

"The starting bid for this piece is two million."

As soon as she finished speaking, amidst continuous bidding, it was eventually sold for ten million.

Although Ye Chen was wealthy, he still thought the price for this piece was a bit much.

He muttered to himself.

"Wow, that’s crazy. A little ornament for ten million is a bit over the top."

Su Wanyi heard this and said with a smile.

"Ye Chen, you know this is a charity auction, right? The proceeds are all donated to schools in impoverished mountain areas."

She then continued.

"The people attending these charity auctions are usually those who aren’t short of money. They spend so much for a good reputation, spending heavily on whatever’s within their capacity."

Ye Chen still found it unbelievable, thinking that for charity, one could just donate directly - why go through such means?

Of course, he thought that way because he always did good deeds for the sake of doing good, never expecting anything in return.

But all those present were businessmen, who never act without interest.

Seeing Ye Chen still puzzled, Su Wanyi laughed softly.

"Ye Chen, you’re different from them. They’re very purposeful, so you needn’t worry too much about this."

Ye Chen agreed with what Su Wanyi said, feeling that she was the one who understood him best.

"Wanyi, since we’re here, let’s contribute to charity too."

Ye Chen said with a smile at Su Wanyi.

"Of course, although we’re not after fame or fortune, spending this money can help those in need, and it’s worth it. Since it’s your first charity auction, if you see something you like, go ahead and bid."

Su Wanyi said with a smile.
