Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1584 - 1558: Arrogant Youngsters
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
Fan Ying saw that it was almost their turn, she looked at Ye Chen, excitement on her face, and said.
"Brother Ye Chen, this is awesome, we’re about to get to play!"
Ye Chen checked the time; it had been about a bit over twenty minutes since they arrived, which was actually not bad.
If it were a normal day, they’d definitely have to wait more than an hour, maybe not even make it onto the ride.
"Look how excited you are."
Ye Chen patted Fan Ying’s little head as he spoke.
Just as the Two People were talking, six or seven young guys ran up behind them and directly planted themselves in front of them.
Fan Ying was a bit stunned when she saw that; with these young guys suddenly popping out, they’d have to wait even longer.
They’d just seen hope, and then this suddenly happened.
The people in line behind Ye Chen also started voicing their displeasure.
Because of the hot weather, everyone was wearing short sleeves.
And those guys all had tattoos on their arms, very obvious ones.
Everyone knew people like this were usually mixed up in the underworld, though some were just pretending to scare others.
Most normal people’s attitude toward guys like this was: if you can avoid trouble, you avoid it.
Even though they saw someone cutting in line and felt unhappy, they could only swallow their anger.
Of course, there were always a few bolder ones.
Ye Chen obviously couldn’t stand this kind of thing; just as he was about to speak, the guy behind him beat him to it.
"Bro, can’t you see everyone’s lining up? How can you just cut in?"
At that moment, one of them with dyed yellow hair came up to the guy and said.
"Kid, why are you the only one running your mouth? I don’t see anyone else complaining."
The guy wanted to say more, but his girlfriend tugged on his arm, signaling him to drop it.
Maybe for his girlfriend’s sake, the guy stayed quiet.
Others might be scared of people like this, but Ye Chen wasn’t.
He looked at Huang Mao and said.
"What you’re doing really isn’t right. Everyone’s been waiting all this time, and you just show up and cut in; that’s pretty out of line, isn’t it?"
Ye Chen’s tone was polite; he just wanted to reason with them.
"Oh? Another one who’s not afraid of dying. Which eye did you use to see my bros cutting in? I’ve been standing here the whole time. They just went off to deal with something, and we all came together. How is that cutting in?"
This time it was the bald guy who’d been standing in front of Ye Chen all along who spoke.
Just now this man had been cursing nonstop, complaining that the park staff were irresponsible for making everyone stand in line like this.
Yet now he acted like what he was doing was perfectly justified.
Hearing the bald guy’s words, grumbling voices of unhappy tourists rose from the line.
"People like that really have zero class."
"Yeah, grown adults doing this kind of thing, shameless."
"They’re an embarrassment, honestly."
Of course they were just venting; the real problem wasn’t being solved.
Ye Chen wasn’t like those other tourists; he really couldn’t ignore this kind of thing.
He already hated lining up, and now people were cutting in, which made him even angrier.
"What’s wrong, got nothing to say now?"
The bald guy glared at Ye Chen with a mocking look.
As far as cutting in line went, Ye Chen actually wasn’t completely against it.
But it depended on who was doing the cutting; if it were couples or little kids, Ye Chen could tolerate it.
But these guys were all around thirty, and they showed up as a whole pack.
This was really the kind of thing you absolutely couldn’t stomach.
"You guys are shameless as hell, acting like kids cutting in line at your age."
This little girl Fan Ying’s face flushed red as she spoke angrily.
The bald guy looked at Fan Ying and laughed.
"Little sister, if you come play with us, I’ll let you stand up here too."
The bald guy eyed Fan Ying with a lewd grin.
"Maybe go look in a mirror first and check out your own face."
Fan Ying shot back.
The bald guy glared at Fan Ying, speechless for a long moment.
He knew cutting in line had already pissed everyone off; if he started provoking some girl on top of that, the tourists would definitely gang up on him.
Then they’d be on the back foot.
In his head the bald guy thought, "Forget it, she’s just a girl. No need to stir up trouble."
Ye Chen admired Fan Ying’s Courage, mentally giving her a thumbs-up.
He hadn’t expected this seemingly delicate girl to be so strong inside.
The girls behind them were all too scared to even look directly at the tattooed guys, but Fan Ying was different.
Ye Chen knew that if things kept going, this girl might actually throw down with the bald guy.
Compared to Ye Chen, Fan Ying was even angrier inside.
She’d timed everything out: after this ride, they’d go straight to the next one and get right on.
But these people’s appearance had completely wrecked her plan—how could she not be mad?
Ye Chen obviously couldn’t let this girl start a fight with that crowd.
They were out to have fun; getting worked up over this scum just wasn’t worth it.
An idea popped into Ye Chen’s mind, and a mischievous grin appeared on his face.
Since the bald guy could play dirty, so could he.
Ye Chen leaned toward Fan Ying and whispered.
"Yingying, stay here for a bit. I’m going up front to check something."
Ye Chen knew that even if he wasn’t right next to Fan Ying, in broad daylight the bald guy wouldn’t dare do anything to her.
Not unless he had a death wish.
Even though Fan Ying didn’t know why Ye Chen said that, or why he wanted to go to the front,
based on her understanding of Ye Chen, he wasn’t the type to cut in line.
Fan Ying watched Ye Chen walking forward with a puzzled look on her face.
The bald guy was just as puzzled.
He had no idea why this young man was heading toward the front.
Was he planning to cut in line too?
But the bald guy didn’t believe Ye Chen had that kind of guts.
Under everyone’s confused gazes, Ye Chen walked toward the front.
He passed the bald guy and his crew and went straight to the very front of the line.
The ones at the front obviously didn’t care about what was happening behind them; it was almost their turn.
At the front stood a guy wearing glasses.
Ye Chen took one look at him—it was clear he hadn’t brought a girlfriend and had come alone.
The glasses guy also noticed Ye Chen walking toward him.
Ye Chen looked at the glasses guy with a smile and said.
"Bro, let’s talk about something."
The glasses guy stared at Ye Chen nervously; even though Ye Chen was smiling, the guy was extremely timid by nature.
He eyed the young man who’d suddenly appeared in front of him warily, his heart pounding.
