Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1560 - 1534: Shattering Perceptions
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
He usually kept saying he wanted his son to study hard, but the kid always treated it like it went in one ear and out the other.
Now he’d finally caught a perfect chance, and he was going to give his son a proper lesson.
"Son, did you see that? If you don’t study hard in college, after you graduate you’ll only end up like that delivery guy over there."
The middle-aged man looked at his son and spoke in a heavy, earnest tone.
Just now this male student had looked at the delivery guy with a face full of disdain; obviously he completely looked down on him.
So how could he possibly want to be like him and end up a delivery guy in the future?
"Dad, I get it. From now on I’ll definitely study hard. I absolutely won’t do that kind of job."
The boy shook his head and said.
The middle-aged man knew his method worked; he was very pleased inside, and a smile involuntarily spread across his face.
The delivery guy saw the middle-aged man pointing at him and even smiling at him, so he thought the man was greeting him.
The delivery guy looked at the middle-aged man, smiled, and waved.
The middle-aged man saw him and snorted in contempt; he felt people like that weren’t even worth his attention.
Ye Chen had watched the whole thing, and he really couldn’t stand people like this.
The delivery guy had greeted him politely, but the middle-aged man’s attitude was basically straight-up humiliation.
Ye Chen decided to give these people a good humiliation of their own—in other words, to treat them the way they treated others.
He deliberately drove the car right up in front of the middle-aged man, but didn’t get out.
The middle-aged man saw the car and his eyes went wide and blank.
The boy was even more stunned; any man would be into sports cars.
You had to know, the Lykan was every man’s dream, but its price was just too high, so most people could only stare and sigh.
"Dad, look, isn’t that the car from Fast and Furious?"
The boy pointed at the Lykan, his face full of excitement.
"Yeah, I wonder which student’s parent is actually rich enough to afford this kind of car. That’s just insanely loaded."
The middle-aged man spoke, his face full of envy.
"Dad, let’s buy one too. If we drove this on the road, it’d be way too cool."
The boy looked at the middle-aged man and said.
The middle-aged man hurriedly replied.
"Son, we just changed cars. Let’s wait a while before we change again. Besides, this one’s pretty expensive. With our current income, it’s still a bit of a stretch."
The boy felt his father made sense and didn’t keep insisting on changing cars.
Seeing his son fall silent, the middle-aged man’s tense mood finally relaxed.
This middle-aged man had just been promoted to a senior position in his company; his annual salary was not quite two million.
To celebrate, he had just spent over six hundred thousand to buy this BMW.
He had been feeling pretty smug, but after seeing the Lykan Car in front of him, he suddenly felt his own car was absolute junk.
"Dad, I’m going to really study hard now. After I graduate I’ll work hard to make money and buy you one."
The boy said, brimming with confidence.
Listening to the Two People chatting, Ye Chen couldn’t help finding it funny.
This car was not something a guy with a mere million-a-year salary could own; even if the boy ended up like his father and worked his whole life, he might still never be able to afford it.
"Son, I believe in your ability. We’ll definitely be able to afford this car in the future."
The middle-aged man cheered his son on.
Just as the Two People were about to leave, Ye Chen got out of the car.
That middle-aged man had just been wondering in his heart what kind of person could afford a car worth over a hundred million.
Seeing a young man get out of the car, the middle-aged man looked a bit surprised.
Once he got a clear look at Ye Chen’s outfit, his face was full of shock.
Before the middle-aged man could speak, the boy tugged his arm and said in disbelief:
"Dad, look, the owner of this car is actually the delivery guy."
The middle-aged man rubbed his eyes and looked again at the young man standing in front of him; there was no doubt he was a delivery guy.
"Th-this... how is this possible?"
He simply couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
Ye Chen walked up to the boy with a smile and said:
"Kiddo, let me tell you, this car is worth 150 million."
Hearing that, the boy looked at the middle-aged man and asked:
"Dad, is that true?"
The middle-aged man nodded.
"That’s right, that is the price."
After hearing this, the boy shook his head and said:
"Dad, you lied to me just now. How could I ever afford this car?"
Hearing his son’s questioning, the middle-aged man didn’t know what to say.
The reason he’d said that earlier was just to encourage his son.
In fact, the middle-aged man knew perfectly well that a sports car like this was not something people of their status could afford.
The middle-aged man’s expression was awkward for a moment.
He just could not accept that Ye Chen in front of him was the delivery guy he’d looked down on.
The middle-aged man suddenly seemed to remember something and asked:
"Brother, are you really a delivery guy?"
Ye Chen pointed at his uniform.
"Of course. One hundred percent genuine."
After hearing this answer, the middle-aged man’s body was like it had been struck by lightning; he couldn’t help trembling.
Seeing that, Ye Chen felt extremely satisfied inside.
This was exactly how he wanted to ruthlessly slap the faces of those people who looked down on them and thought they were above everyone else.
After finishing, Ye Chen got back in the car and sped off.
Staring at the Lykan’s taillights, the middle-aged man couldn’t recover for a long time.
He kept thinking to himself, since when did delivering food make this much money?
A delivery guy could actually afford a globally limited-edition sports car.
Yet someone like him, a senior executive at a big company, could only afford that kind of car.
The middle-aged man glanced at his beloved car and felt they simply weren’t in the same league.
His heart was collapsing.
What really finished off the middle-aged man came afterward.
Ye Chen’s appearance completely shattered the boy’s worldview.
Seeing that the delivery guy he’d just despised was actually this loaded, a thought popped into the boy’s mind.
"Dad, I don’t want to go to college anymore. I want to deliver food too. I want to buy that Lykan Car."
Hearing what his son said, the middle-aged man was so angry he nearly exploded.
To get his son into this university, he’d pulled strings and moved house, spent a lot of money, and used plenty of connections.
Yet his son was now saying he didn’t want to go. How could the middle-aged man not be depressed?
He’d only just managed to get his son to change his mind and decide to study hard.
But in just this short while, his son had changed his mind again, and the middle-aged man simply couldn’t accept this reality.
Seeing his son about to walk out of the campus, the middle-aged man hurriedly chased after him.
Because he rushed too fast, he was tripped by a small stone in the road and fell so hard he nearly broke his old waist.
