Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1663: Collecting Rent

Chapter 1663: Chapter 1997: Collecting Rent

Lin Shiyin blushed and asked, “You rascal, why didn’t you say earlier? Had me worried.”

Ye Chen said, “I told you I was for real, but you didn’t believe me.”

“Hmph, you big bad guy.”

The next day, after a night’s rest, Ye Chen sent Lin Shiyin off.

Though reluctant, Lin Shiyin had to go to the mountains to help the children.

After sending Lin Shiyin off, Ye Chen checked the time; it was time to collect rent again.

Ye Chen opened the WeChat group and said, “Rent collection day, everyone settle at the door.”

Collecting rent was a joyful task for Ye Chen; after all, seeing the money bag bulging gives that damn good feeling.

This time, Ye Chen decided to take along two assistants, Qionna and Joy.

Ye Chen carried a big bag and wore oversized slippers as he arrived at the community gate.

The security guard saw Ye Chen and said with a smile, “Mr. Ye, here to collect rent again?”

As he spoke, the guard thoughtfully brought Ye Chen a chair.

At that moment, a middle-aged man emerged from a car, accompanied by a large group of female secretaries.

All these female secretaries were dressed in office attire.

Each had long legs and was more glamorous than the next.

The wealthy businessman wore a gold Rolex, each finger adorned with hefty gold rings, exuding an impressive aura.

Currently, the businessman was making a phone call, occasionally throwing around figures of millions and billions in contracts to flaunt his wealth.

When he reached Ye Chen’s spot, he continued to brag into the phone.

“Let me tell you, to do business outside, you need to have presence; do you know why I have so many secretaries? It’s about the aura, the aura makes a difference!”

Ye Chen listened, then chuckled.

Mostly because the aura he described for secretaries didn’t really match.

Those so-called secretaries behind him wore foundation so thick, it betrayed their supposed secretary aura; each resembled more of a mistress.

Outside, no one would imagine him as a business mogul, rather he came across as a nouveau riche.

Ye Chen almost burst out laughing.

Then the middle-aged man, displeased, asked Ye Chen, “Kid, what are you laughing at?”

Ye Chen calmly replied, “Sorry, I just thought of a joke and couldn’t hold back my laughter.”

The wealthy man raised an eyebrow and said, “Hmph, you’re sure you’re not laughing at me?”

“What if I’m laughing at you?” Ye Chen casually replied.

The businessman snorted coldly, “I…”

Before he could finish, a Rolls-Royce pulled up at the community entrance.

Then, two blonde, blue-eyed, tall foreign sisters stepped out.

Upon seeing these two foreign beauties, the businessman’s eyes almost popped out.

Qionna and Joy approached Ye Chen and respectfully said, “Mr. Ye.”

Ye Chen was already stunned.

These two foreign beauties had a beauty score of 97 points, and their aura was high-class; most importantly, they were twins.

Seeing these two foreign beauties and then looking at his own cheap lipstick girls, the contrast was stark.

Ye Chen addressed Qionna, “Qionna, tell this gentleman who you are.”

Qionna said very seriously, “Sir, we are Mr. Ye’s personal secretaries, handling all of his work and personal matters.”

After hearing Qionna’s words, the businessman suddenly laughed, “Him? Handling various matters?”

He looked at Ye Chen disdainfully and sneered.

Ye Chen was dressed in a T-shirt, wore slippers, and carried a knitted bag, which was the typical laborer’s attire!

No matter how you look at it, I am a millionaire.

Unlike this poor loser.

The businessman smiled and said to the twin sisters, “Ladies, how much did this man offer you? I’m willing to pay double as long as you are willing to be my secretaries.”

Qionna glanced at the businessman with a look of disdain in her eyes.

“You? Unqualified, you can’t afford our salary.”

The businessman listened and got angry.

He felt his dignity was insulted.

“I, Zhang Dafu, can’t afford to pay your salary? What a joke, I’m worth millions.”

Worth millions?

Ye Chen listened to this and couldn’t help but laugh.

Being worth millions might sound impressive to others, but to Ye Chen, it could only be described with the word ‘pauper.’

Even his worst-off friends are worth billions.

Being worth millions doesn’t qualify one to be his friend at all.

Qionna and Joy also laughed upon hearing his words.

Their combined annual salary already reached millions.

This businessman was actually posing in front of them.

Meaning if he were to hire them, he’d go bankrupt directly.

The businessman saw Ye Chen and his group, after hearing his net worth, not only remained unshocked but also had mocking expressions on their faces, immediately feeling humiliated.

“Why are you laughing?”

Ye Chen shook his head and said, “No, I just thought of a joke.”

“You’re definitely laughing at me!” The wealthy man was fuming.

Just at that moment, tenants started emerging from the community, lining up to pay their dues.

Ye Chen opened a leather bag, allowing tenants to throw in rent money.

Upon seeing stacks of cash, the businessman was dumbfounded.

He finally realized this young man was a legendary big shot.

Everyone from the community was queuing to pay their landlord.

How much was this? Likely over a billion, right?

Thinking of how he’d boasted about his millions here, he suddenly felt immense shame.

As for being laughed at by Ye Chen, it was only deserving of laughter.

With his face very unpleasant, the businessman left.

While Ye Chen was collecting rent, his phone suddenly rang.

“Hello, is this Mr. Ye?”

Ye Chen nodded, “Yes, it’s me; who is this?”

“Mr. Ye, I’m your tenant; next month I won’t be able to rent your place anymore, I’m sorry.”

“Oh, what’s the issue? Is the community environment bad or is there another reason?”

The girl cried and said, “It’s like this, the manager at my company plagiarized my design plan, and then falsely accused me of not working diligently. As a result, the company leadership wants to fire me. I’ve lost my job, can’t afford to rent your place, so I have to leave.”

Ye Chen: “…”

Damn, is the workplace this dark now?

Soon, the girl walked out.

She bowed to Ye Chen and said, “Mr. Ye, I’m really grateful to you for taking such good care of me during this time. I might be returning to my hometown, and probably won’t have the chance to meet again.”

While speaking, tears were streaming down the girl’s face.

Ye Chen said, “How about you owe me the rent first, pay me when you can later.”

The girl shook her head, “No, that manager is too oppressive. Clearly, it’s the manager’s fault, but because the VP has an affair with that manager, it ended up with me taking the blame.”

Ye Chen frowned and said, “Alright, tell me which company, I’ll see if I can help.”
