Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1577 - 1551: Undermining
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
Robert didn’t expect that Ye Chen would be at the restaurant here and would even ask him to come over.
After hanging up the phone, the alluring woman beside Robert looked at him with a pout and said.
"Darling, where are you going?"
Robert completely ignored the woman beside him, got dressed, and headed out.
But how could the woman let him leave easily? She actually held onto Robert tightly.
"You promised to stay with me today, how can you suddenly break your word?"
Normally, Robert would definitely explain to the woman.
But this time, he just pushed the woman aside and rushed out the door.
On the way, Robert was extremely terrified.
He wasn’t clear why Ye Chen wanted him to come over.
During the call, the manager also mentioned that Ye Chen was causing a scene at the restaurant, but what on earth was happening?
Robert really couldn’t figure out what was going on; he could only find out once he got to the restaurant.
Meanwhile, after finishing the call, the manager looked at Ye Chen arrogantly and said.
"Kid, you’ll regret it when our boss arrives."
Yang Tiantian saw what was happening in front of her and quickly ran over.
"Ye Chen, I don’t think we need to argue with these people. I’ve heard that this Robert is a ruthless person."
The guests in the restaurant also heard their conversation and couldn’t help but give Ye Chen a thumbs up for stepping in to help.
However, they also knew a bit about Robert’s character. Since Ye Chen was a good person, they didn’t want to see him get hurt and all started advising.
"Young man, a wise man knows when to back down. There’s no need to waste time with these people here, right?"
"After all, you’re still young. How could you understand how ruthless these people are?"
"I advise you to leave quickly. If their boss comes, you surely won’t be able to leave."
Ye Chen, being who he is, wasn’t going to listen to these people’s advice.
The uncle knew that if it weren’t for him, none of this would have happened. Looking at Ye Chen, he said.
"Young man, this situation started because of me. I should be the one taking all the responsibility. It has nothing to do with you, so you should leave quickly."
Hearing everyone advising Ye Chen to leave, the manager sneered and said.
"Kid, I’m telling you there’s no way out."
As soon as he finished speaking, two waiters stood by the door.
Yang Tiantian, the uncle, and some kind-hearted guests were all worried about Ye Chen.
Yet, Ye Chen’s expression remained calm, looking at the manager as though he were an idiot.
"You don’t need to act this way. Even if you let me leave, I’m not going until there’s an explanation."
Just as he was speaking, Robert arrived at the restaurant in his car. After parking, he noticed the Lykan parked there.
He knew the owner of the car was Ye Chen, and was surprised Ye Chen was indeed inside the restaurant.
Worried Ye Chen might get impatient from waiting, Robert hurried toward the restaurant.
He was in such a hurry that he tripped on the steps, nearly falling flat on his face.
The manager quickly came out to stabilize Robert and walked back to the restaurant together.
"Kid, I’m telling you this is our boss, scared yet?"
The manager looked at Ye Chen arrogantly and said.
Ye Chen just calmly responded with an "Oh."
Robert gave the manager a stern glare, not understanding how this fool dared to speak to Ye Chen like that.
The manager hadn’t noticed and respectfully looked at his boss and said.
"Boss, this is the punk causing a scene in the restaurant, as I mentioned on the phone."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud slap was heard.
The manager looked at his boss in disbelief and said.
"Boss, what did I do wrong? Why did you hit me?"
Robert glared at the manager furiously and said.
"You useless fool, do you know who this is? How dare you provoke him, do you have a death wish?"
These words left everyone shocked; they thought Robert would severely punish Ye Chen once he arrived.
But to their surprise, he actually slapped the manager.
Clearly, something was up here.
"This punk is the one causing a scene at the restaurant, who else could it be?"
The manager, clutching his face, answered in confusion.
Robert felt that someone as dim-witted as the manager shouldn’t be kept at the restaurant; he’d surely cause trouble in the future.
That’s exactly what happened today. If he hadn’t provoked Ye Chen, he wouldn’t have had to come himself.
The restaurant guests put down their utensils, curious to know who this young man was that even Robert was so wary of.
Ye Chen watched calmly from start to finish, not saying a word.
He was waiting to see what Robert would do.
Robert knew the manager was hopeless; no matter what was said, he wouldn’t understand.
He looked at Ye Chen and respectfully said.
"Mr. Ye, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect you would have such a poor experience at the restaurant. I sincerely apologize."
Robert was actually apologizing to a young man, even addressing him as Mr. It showed that the young man’s identity was indeed extraordinary.
"Boss Luo, are you apologizing to the wrong person? It’s not me you should be apologizing to, but this father and daughter."
Ye Chen said coldly.
Robert glanced at the trembling uncle and the little girl beside him, not understanding the situation.
After all, he couldn’t ask Ye Chen; that would be courting death.
He could only ask the brainless manager beside him.
"What’s going on here?"
The manager hurriedly explained with a grievance on his face.
"I was worried this uncle’s appearance would impact our restaurant’s business, so I tried to kick him out. But this Mr. Ye intervened."
Now the manager understood this young man was not ordinary; he dared not call him a punk anymore.
Robert nodded slightly upon hearing the manager’s words.
In his heart, he felt that it wasn’t wrong, but suddenly remembered Ye Chen was still there.
"Boss Luo, do you also think your restaurant’s employees were right in doing this? Are you also so snobbish?"
Ye Chen’s two consecutive questions made Robert’s legs tremble.
He knew his actions had displeased Ye Chen.
If Ye Chen were displeased with the manager, it might not have been a big deal for him.
But if Ye Chen were displeased with him, he could forget about running the restaurant, or even surviving in Modu.
Robert knew Ye Chen’s influence was that immense; how could he dare offend such a person?
"No, Mr. Ye, you’ve misunderstood. I’ve always taught my employees to treat every guest equally. Anyone who comes to the restaurant is our guest, no matter their status."
Robert quickly explained.
"Boss, that’s not what you said."
The manager suddenly spoke.
