Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 7 - 7 007 Ye Chen's Prestige Requesting Votes and Favorites

7: Chapter 007: Ye Chen’s Prestige (Requesting Votes and Favorites) 7: Chapter 007: Ye Chen’s Prestige (Requesting Votes and Favorites) From beside him, Ye Tao chimed in, “Dad, no need to get upset.

This firm maintains strict requirements, demanding at least a master’s degree.

Little Chen’s schooling holds him back; he simply doesn’t meet the criteria for employment here.”

“Indeed, few match Little Tao’s talents!

A salary of two thousand monthly, totaling more than twenty thousand annually!” Second Aunt praised from nearby.

“Our Little Tao recently purchased an 80-square-meter two-bedroom flat in the city for over three hundred thousand!

Plus, he just acquired a Toyota vehicle.” Auntie bragged.

Second Uncle gazed with envy: “Just see Little Tao—he owns a car and a home, and his girlfriend is stunning, likely a corporate professional.

Little Chen, you ought to take cues from Little Tao.”

Uncle directed his finger toward Ye Chen: “Ye Chen, observe this.

Both of you are the same age, yet why exists such a vast difference between you?”

Right at that moment, another rap echoed at the door.

A striking woman clad in a black business suit entered.

The moment the suited woman stepped inside, every member of the Ye Family relatives marveled in astonishment.

This lady possessed remarkable beauty.

Her statuesque build and finely sculpted, alluring features appeared masterfully designed; even Little Tao’s girlfriend, who had been basking in pride moments before, now felt overshadowed and inferior.

Spotting Su Wanyi, Ye Tao rose eagerly: “President Su?

What brings you here?”

Su Wanyi cast a brief look at Ye Tao and hesitated: “And you are?”

“I’m Ye Tao, working in the marketing team at the branch, I’ve spotted you during assemblies.”

“Oh!”

Su Wanyi gave a subtle nod, and then the Ye Family kin watched as the elegant woman in the suit approached Ye Chen with poise.

“President Ye, encountering you once more?”

“President Ye?”

The Ye Family froze in disbelief.

Wasn’t Ye Chen merely a DiDi driver?

How on earth could he hold the title of President Ye?

He too felt taken aback, never anticipating Su Wanyi’s appearance at this spot.

Witnessing Su Wanyi’s proximity to Ye Chen stirred discomfort in Uncle and Aunt.

Su Wanyi’s looks and physique utterly eclipsed their own daughter-in-law.

Next to Su Wanyi, Ye Tao’s girlfriend resembled a common fowl beside a majestic bird.

Su Wanyi offered a knowing smile: “Your assistance today helped us clinch this major contract.

The company chose this venue for our celebration and unexpectedly crossed paths with you.”

“Oh, and a few of our firm’s leaders are on their way to raise glasses to you.”

“Haha, there’s no call for such formality.”

At that point, a few additional individuals entered.

Ye Tao nearly gaped in shock; those entering were none other than the company’s high-ranking officials.

He struggled to accept that his cousin commanded such respect, drawing the firm’s elite to honor him with toasts.

Ye Tao lingered nearby, appearing tense and out of place.

Ye Chen, in contrast, remained composed in his seat, gracefully receiving the salutes from these prominent figures.

“President Ye, kindly guide us moving forward.”

“President Ye, we’re in your debt for this success.”

“President Ye, I’ll drain my glass; feel free to sip as you wish.”

…

Having courteously completed their toasts, the executives departed.

Uncle stood speechless.

Second Uncle reeled in surprise.

The entire Ye Family relatives found themselves utterly bewildered.

President Ye?

Wasn’t Ye Chen only a DiDi driver?

The private room’s door swung open once more!

The Marriott Hotel’s manager personally escorted three attractive servers in cheongsams.

“President Ye, upon learning of your visit to our establishment for a meal, we’ve prepared extra delicacies just for you.”

As the servers placed the dishes upon the table, the Ye Family gawked in awe.

Shark fin, abalone, emperor crab…

Every dish carried a hefty price tag.

Beyond that, a server presented a bottle of red wine directly.

Upon recognizing the bottle, Ye Tao’s jaw dropped in astonishment.

“Good heavens, that’s a ’82 Lafite!

Around ten thousand per bottle, isn’t it?” Ye Tao exclaimed involuntarily.

Ye Tao recalled his boss mentioning it during a prior meal—a ’82 Lafite fetched ten thousand a bottle.

Uncle too stared in disbelief at the lavish spread of cuisine and beverage.

“Server, these weren’t on our order?”

This feast of dishes combined with the wine would run tens of thousands; they couldn’t possibly cover it.

“Rest assured, sir.

The Marriott Group operates under Yida Group’s umbrella; since President Ye chairs the Group, this entire banquet today is on the house.”

“On the house?”

Uncle, Aunt, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, and the rest of the Ye Family relatives all stood slack-jawed.

Ye Chen chairs Yida Group?

How could that be?

The Ye Family remained in total shock; Yida Group stood as a major powerhouse in Hua Country, boasting nearly a hundred shopping centers, hotels, and properties, with assets worth billions.

Ye Chen as Yida’s chairman?

“Hmm!”

Ye Chen showed no surprise regarding this; he stayed remarkably serene.

“Appreciate it.”

The manager inclined his head slightly: “President Ye, any further requests?”

“None.”

“Very well, please savor your dining.

President Ye, don’t hesitate to summon me if needed.”

The manager exited.

The private room fell into absolute silence.

All the Ye Family relatives fixed their gazes intently on Ye Chen.

Good grief!

Ye Chen turned out to be Yida Group’s chairman.

That would imply a fortune in the billions?

Even Ye Tao’s girlfriend now eyed Ye Chen with sparkling enthusiasm.

Could this be the fabled rich heir?

Ye Tao paled in comparison to Ye Chen; if she managed to link up with him, she’d ascend to a life of luxury!

With that thought, Ye Tao’s girlfriend’s stare grew intense and eager.

Uncle, Aunt, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, and even Ye Tao all appeared thoroughly dazed.

Only moments earlier, they had extolled Ye Tao’s virtues and successes, no surprise Ye Chen had stayed quiet.

Ye Tao’s accomplishments seemed trivial before Ye Chen’s stature.

“Chenchen, who would have thought you’d achieved so much.”

“Old Three, you’ve truly brought up an outstanding child.”

“Tao Tao, why not raise a glass to your cousin.”

“Yes, behold Chenchen—already heading a corporation at his young age, you should draw lessons from him.”

Ye Chen’s parents remained dazed themselves; how had their boy abruptly risen to chairman?

This development felt far too abrupt~

Uncle’s household and Ye Tao displayed clear discomfort, having demeaned Ye Chen in the past; now they could merely join the others in forced grins and toasts.

Particularly those kin who had ridiculed Ye Chen earlier, their expressions burned with acute shame.

Throughout the banquet, the relatives kept proposing toasts to Ye Chen, yet he sipped only juice, citing his DiDi runs as reason.

The relatives exchanged glances.

You rascal, as Yida’s chairman, you still drive DiDi?

In earlier times, such relatives might have chided Ye Chen for impoliteness, but on this occasion, all showed deference.

Following the meal, the group courteously escorted Ye Chen from the hotel.

Ye Chen’s parents, whom the relatives had previously shunned, received unusually warm attention today.

At the Marriott Hotel’s doorway, the manager declared: “President Ye, your vehicle stands ready.”

A Bentley awaited right outside the hotel.

Ye Chen acknowledged with a nod: “I arrived by my own car; have my parents use this one to return.”

For the Lakefront Villa, Ye Chen resolved to have his parents reside there.

After all, the hardworking elderly pair merited some leisure after years of toil.

Ye Chen unlocked the Pagani’s door and settled into the driver’s position.

Ye Tao’s eyes bulged in sheer amazement.

A Pagani valued at more than thirty million—when had Ye Chen amassed such riches?

As Ye Chen sped off, Uncle let out a sigh.

“Little Tao, pick up some presents and drop by your Third Uncle’s home regularly; have Little Chen keep an eye out for you going ahead.”

Though loath to concede it, Ye Tao had once been the Ye Family’s star, yet starting today, Ye Chen emerged as the family’s genuine standout.
