Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 4 - 4 004 The Ex-Girlfriend's Mockery Seeking Votes and Favorites

Hey, isn't that Shanshan?

Oh, I almost forgot—you've been sacked as the lowest-achieving salesperson.

You totally earned that dismissal,” sneered the sales agent Yang Tao.

Lin Shanshan felt deeply wronged yet remained silent.

In truth, her sales abilities weren't the issue; veteran staff at the firm harassed her as a newcomer, denying her any customer contacts.

Daily, she handled odd jobs, dashing about to photocopy documents for buyers.

She put in more effort than anyone else there, yet evaluations hinged solely on sales figures.

As the bottom ranker, she became the initial cut.

“I'll wrap up my final deal and then go.”

“Is he your customer?” Yang Tao eyed Ye Chen with a mocking grin.

Spotting Ye Chen's DiDi uniform, she burst into uncontrollable laughter.

“Haha, Lin Shanshan, you're kidding, right? Dragging a DiDi driver in to purchase property?” Yang Tao taunted.

“Yeah, can he even spring for a restroom stall?”

“Shanshan, I get you hate looking bad, but hauling in a DiDi guy as pretend support? Really?”

The rest of the sales team gazed at Ye Chen in his DiDi outfit with clear contempt.

Ye Chen grasped Lin Shanshan's plight at the office and gave a faint smile: “Shanshan, how about you guide me to your priciest listing here?”

“The priciest one?” Yang Tao and the other agents froze at Ye Chen's request.

Yang Tao snapped icily, “Why's a DiDi driver inquiring about the top property?

Got the funds for it?

Listen up, units here run fifty thousand yuan per square meter—you couldn't buy a bathroom, so drop the act.”

Lin Shanshan murmured softly, “Brother Chen, let's drop it.”

She knew Ye Chen aimed to back her up, but the residences here cost a fortune.

The top villa price neared two hundred million; how could she let Ye Chen drop that kind of cash on her behalf?

After Lin Shanshan's words, Yang Tao grew surer Ye Chen lacked the means for the villa, jeering: “Right, a DiDi guy might scrape together for a tiny suburban flat—don't make a fool of yourself.”

Ye Chen arched a brow: “So, this Lakefront Villa is your costliest offering?

Count me in for it.”

What?

Suddenly, silence blanketed the sales office.

Every agent stood there, flabbergasted.

That villa fetched 160 million, the highest in the project.

Had this DiDi guy truly declared he'd take it?

Yang Tao stared in disbelief.

The other agents' eyes bulged in astonishment.

Lin Shanshan froze too, tentatively querying.

“Brother Chen, you're set on the Lakefront Villa?”

Ye Chen smiled and nodded: “Yeah, and since you're on staff, any chance for a deal?”

“Ah!

Sure, I'll fetch the manager now,” Lin Shanshan replied, thrilled.

Lin Shanshan dialed up, and moments later, a suited manager hurried over, drenched in perspiration.

“Shanshan, you actually closed on the 160 million villa?”

Yang Tao could scarcely credit what she heard.

She'd just ridiculed Ye Chen for managing only a suburban shack, and here he was snapping up a 160 million premium estate.

Manager Chen asked carefully, “Mr.

Jiang, the villa lists at 160 million.

As Shanshan's pal, we'll apply our insider rate—a 20% cut, bringing it to 128 million. Sound good?”

“Fine by me, run the card,” Ye Chen agreed with a nod.

“It's phony, has to be.”

Yang Tao wished desperately inside, since Lin Shanshan ranked lowest in sales, while she held second-worst.

Should Lin Shanshan seal this villa sale, Yang Tao would face the boot.

Ye Chen pulled a bank card and passed it to Lin Shanshan: “Go on, process the payment and docs.”

Yang Tao trailed Lin Shanshan to the terminal.

Witnessing the transaction clear, Yang Tao gaped in total shock.

This DiDi fellow was a hidden tycoon!

“Mr.

Ye, congrats on owning Lakefront Villa.

I'll sort the ownership paperwork,” Manager Chen beamed.

Ye Chen nodded, adding, “Oh, and a few of your staff act rudely—what if I'm a DiDi driver?

Can't DiDi folks buy high-end homes?

I run DiDi in a Pagani—problem with that?

Without Shanshan, this villa wouldn't be mine.”

Now, the agents spotted the Pagani parked out front.

They reeled in utter amazement.

It felt straight out of a story—the classic thrill-seeking heir playing among them.

Had to be it!

This DiDi driver was surely an ultra-wealthy heir!

DiDi was mere fun for him!

Ye Chen laughed softly: “Anyway, mind giving me a tour?”

Chen Shan nodded, eyeing Lin Shanshan: “Still idling? Lead Mr.

Ye around.”

Lin Shanshan nodded blankly and told Ye Chen, “Mr.

Ye, this way—I'll take you through the place.”

As Ye Chen and Lin Shanshan departed, the office women buzzed with envy.

“Shanshan's fortune is unreal, landing a loaded heir like that.”

“Totally, the heir must've chosen this villa thanks to Shanshan.”

“Dropping millions for his girl—why can't I find a guy like him?”

Chen Shan shot Yang Tao a frosty look: “Yang Tao, you insulted our VIP client.

Realize that?

You almost tanked our huge sale.”

“Manager Chen, I…”

Chen Shan dismissed her: “Stop, you're done.

Collect your pay and clear out now.”

Yang Tao blanched, collapsing to the floor.

She'd been jeering at Lin Shanshan moments ago; never dreamed she'd be ousted first.

Ye Chen took the wheel, and in five minutes, cruising the neighborhood path, they reached Lakefront Villa.

He pulled up beside it, and Ye Chen plus Lin Shanshan stepped out.

The villa sat on its own islet, lake encircling it, with stunning vistas.

Lin Shanshan noted, “Mr.

Ye, feel free to explore; for your initial move-in, you'll submit details to security.”

“Got it.” Ye Chen agreed.

Ye Chen strolled to the water's edge, where the far-off lake gleamed, a gentle wind bearing faint flower scents.

He hadn't imagined Modu, with its sky-high land costs, hiding such a delightful villa.

“Ye Chen, what brings you to this spot?” Abruptly, a female voice sounded from the rear.

Glancing back at the woman, Ye Chen paused briefly.

His former girlfriend, Yao Lili.

Taking in Ye Chen's DiDi attire, Yao Lili's features twisted into amusement.

“Ye Chen, did you trail me here?

I told you, we're over.

No way I'd pair with a DiDi driver.”

“Sorry, I wasn't after you—I'm here checking out property,” Ye Chen replied steadily.

Yao Lili laughed, “Checking property?

You, a DiDi driver, scoping homes?

Know the per-square-meter price?

You'd drive forever without affording one.”
