Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1556 - 1530: This Move Is Truly Ruthless

Xu Kai thought he had heard wrong and simply couldn’t believe it.

But his eyes were being very honest, telling him that the person walking towards the stage was indeed that Ye Chen he looked down upon.

Xu Kai never would have imagined in his wildest dreams that Ye Chen was the author of this piece. How could a delivery person possibly produce such excellent writing?

It could be said that this piece was no different from an original.

In that case, Ye Chen was truly impressive.

But Xu Kai wasn’t actually concerned about Ye Chen’s talent.

The main issue was that he had spent so much money to buy a work by his arch-enemy, wasn’t this just slapping himself in the face?

Zhang Shuang was similarly surprised, as she also couldn’t have imagined that Ye Chen was the author of this piece.

Yang Mimi was also equally astonished.

Even though she had overheard Ye Chen’s phone conversation just now, she was still somewhat shocked upon realizing that Ye Chen was indeed the author.

She felt that Ye Chen was truly like a mystery, knowing how to do everything.

The host looked at Ye Chen and said.

"Mr. Ye, it’s truly unexpected that at such a young age, you can have such high achievements in calligraphy."

Before Ye Chen could open his mouth to speak, Sun Bolin and Zhang Ming both said in unison.

"Indeed, Mr. Ye is a rare talent, recognized simultaneously by the calligraphy and literary worlds."

Upon hearing these two senior figures praising Ye Chen, everyone was more convinced that Ye Chen was indeed the author of this piece.

Xu Kai had fully resigned himself to the situation by this point.

"Elder Sun and Chairman Zhang are too kind, my skills are just average."

The host, upon hearing Ye Chen say this, felt his mouth twitch; someone capable of writing such calligraphy claiming to have average skills.

This was truly an excess of humility.

Lin Shiyin, upon hearing this, covered her face and laughed, finding Ye Chen to be truly amusing.

Talking like this was almost infuriating!

"Mr. Ye, you’re too modest."

The host smiled awkwardly.

After the host revealed that Ye Chen was the author of this piece, Xu Kai trembled with anger.

Everyone watched Xu Kai make a fool of himself with relish.

Little did they expect Ye Chen’s move to be so ruthless; it was even more unbearable for Xu Kai than being hit.

Moments ago, Xu Kai was full of pride, not realizing that the clown was actually himself.

Ye Chen waved his hand and said.

"No, I think it’s just this boss thinks too highly of me, which is why he offered such a high price for the piece. Now I’m truly curious to hear the boss’s thoughts."

Ye Chen’s words made Xu Kai’s blood boil, almost causing him to spew out old blood.

Xu Kai knew that if this continued, he’d definitely be in the paper tomorrow, an embarrassment to the Xu Family.

Moreover, everyone turned their eyes towards him.

Xu Kai awkwardly walked onto the stage, casting a vicious glance at Ye Chen.

The host turned to Xu Kai and said.

"Young Master Xu, I’m particularly curious about why you spent so much money to buy this piece?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Kai forced a smile and said.

"I’m someone who loves calligraphy, so I wanted to buy it when I saw this piece. Moreover, by doing this I could donate the money to charity, which I think counts as doing a good deed for myself."

Everyone obviously knew this wasn’t Xu Kai’s true intention, not even Xu Kai believed it.

As the auction ended, Ye Chen looked at Xu Kai with a satisfied expression and said.

"Thanks, Young Master Xu, for your support."

Ye Chen’s remark was truly infuriating.

Indeed, upon hearing this, Xu Kai stormed off in a huff, completely ignoring Zhang Shuang.

Everyone knew that this time Xu Kai had really fallen, being schemed by someone he despised.

Seeing Xu Kai leaving in fury, Zhang Shuang, Zhou Jun, and Wu Tong all quickly followed.

When the four of them left, the others hadn’t yet come out, mainly because they all wanted to get closer to Ye Chen.

Upon exiting the hotel, Xu Kai took a breath of fresh air, feeling slightly relieved.

Seeing the people who chased after him, Xu Kai vented his anger on them.

"Darling, what’s wrong with you."

"Young Master Xu, why did you leave so quickly."

"Are you alright, you don’t look so well."

Upon hearing the three of them, Xu Kai’s face darkened even more.

He had made such a fool of himself in front of his girlfriend, feeling like he had lost face.

Looking at Zhang Shuang, Xu Kai said.

"Great, now you’re pleased, right? Your first love humiliated me in front of everyone."

Zhang Shuang felt very wronged. She had told Xu Kai multiple times that she had nothing to do with Ye Chen, yet why didn’t this man believe her?

"Darling, you really misunderstood me, I felt very upset seeing what just happened."

Zhang Shuang spoke with a choked voice.

Xu Kai had been very good to her. Seeing her boyfriend being schemed like this made Zhang Shuang feel both distressed and angry.

But she was also powerless.

"I don’t want to hear your explanations, get lost."

Xu Kai had now lost some of his sanity, unable to listen to Zhang Shuang’s words.

The thought of his girlfriend being Ye Chen’s first love, and how Ye Chen had just humiliated him, was unbearable.

Zhang Shuang hadn’t expected Xu Kai to speak so harshly to her, especially in front of others.

Even though she relied on Xu Kai, she still had her dignity.

She wouldn’t let anyone insult her like that, especially when she also had her own sources of income. If Xu Kai was good to her, she would talk to him.

But if Xu Kai treated her like this, she saw no reason to put up with it.

Wu Tong saw that Xu Kai was talking to a woman like this and quickly tried to persuade him.

"Young Master Xu, why be so angry, please calm down."

Upon hearing this, Xu Kai looked at Wu Tong in front of him and said.

"Oh here you are, trying to be nice, right? If it wasn’t for you, how would I be so humiliated?"

"Young Master Xu, how is this related to me? Don’t vent your anger at anyone around."

Wu Tong retorted fearlessly.

"I’m not wrong; dare you say you’re completely unaware of this? If it weren’t for your instigation, why would I bid on this piece?"

Upon hearing Xu Kai’s words, Wu Tong did feel a bit guilty.

As a member of the Calligraphy Association, he couldn’t possibly not know the author of this piece and that it would be auctioned off.

But Wu Tong continued to firmly deny it.

"Young Master Xu, you’re wrongfully accusing me. If I knew, I’d definitely have told you, why would I want you to be embarrassed?"

Xu Kai wasn’t easily fooled; today, no matter what Wu Tong said, he wouldn’t believe it.

Seeing Xu Kai not replying, Wu Tong said nothing more.

Zhou Jun looked relieved that Xu Kai hadn’t turned his anger on him.

Just then, he felt an angry gaze staring at him.
