The following morning, after finishing his cooking, Ye Chen hopped onto his little electric scooter and headed towards the Dihao Group.
Parking his scooter at the edge of the Dihao Group's parking lot, he had just locked it when a sleek black Bentley slowly pulled into a spot across from him.
Casually glancing up, Ye Chen caught sight of a young couple stepping out of the car.
The man, dressed in an upscale suit, exuded an air of sophistication, while the woman, though somewhat flashily dressed, was undeniably a rare beauty.
To Ye Chen's surprise, it was Xiao Churan's cousin, Xiao Weiwei, and her fiancé-to-be, Wang Yunfei, the heir to the Wang family.
Ye Chen wasn't sure what Xiao Weiwei and Wang Yunfei were doing at the Dihao Group, but to avoid any trouble, he decided to steer clear.
However, sometimes the more one tries to avoid something, the more it seems to come looking for them.
Sharp-eyed Xiao Weiwei spotted him immediately and called out loudly, "Hey, brother-in-law!"
Xiao Weiwei's cheerful greeting left Ye Chen feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
Out of politeness, he paused and, as they approached, smiled and asked, "Weiwei, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Weiwei giggled and replied, "Me and Yunfei came to visit Vice Chairman Wang Dongxue of the Dihao Group!"
She then looked at Wang Yunfei with admiration and said, "The Wang family has many collaborations with the Dihao Group. In the future, it will not only benefit the Wangs but also our Xiao family."
Ye Chen was unaware of the Wang family's collaborations with the Dihao Group, as the latter had only recently become his property, and he hadn't had time to delve into it.
However, he didn't show any sign of ignorance and instead smiled, "Mr. Wang has an extraordinary aura and impressive abilities. You two are truly a match made in heaven!"
Wang Yunfei looked down on Ye Chen, feeling a sense of injustice.
This loser, who had been scolded so harshly by Xiao's grandmother yesterday, was still smiling as if nothing had happened.
Why had such a stunning beauty like Xiao Churan married such a good-for-nothing?
If it weren't for this good-for-nothing, he would have desperately pursued Xiao Churan and wouldn't have ended up engaged to Xiao Weiwei, who was inferior in every way.
Thinking about this made Wang Yunfei feel uneasy, so he deliberately asked, "What brings you to the Dihao Group, brother-in-law?"
Ye Chen casually replied, "I'm here to look for a job."
"A job?" He sneered, "A loser like you, who can't do anything right, wants to work at the Dihao Group?"
Ye Chen furrowed his brow and said, "What business is it of yours if I'm looking for a job?"
Xiao Weiwei had called out to Ye Chen intending to mock him, but since Wang Yunfei had already started, she quickly joined in, "What, did Yunfei say something wrong?
"For education, does this good-for-nothing have a diploma?
"For ability, does this good-for-nothing have any accomplishments?
"A loser like you wouldn't even be hired as a security guard at the Dihao Group. If you have any self-awareness, you'd be better off picking up trash on the street, where you can at least earn a couple of thousand a month!"
After finishing, she tossed the empty drink bottle at Ye Chen's feet and said, "Here, don't say I didn't take care of you. Pick up this empty bottle and sell it for money!"
Wang Yunfei chuckled and said, "Although you're trash, since we're relatives, I'll have to take care of you somehow. I happen to have some connections with the vice chairman of the Dihao Group. How about I put in a good word for you and get you a job cleaning toilets?"
Ye Chen sneered and said, "I don't need you to worry about what kind of job I'm looking for. You should worry more about yourself. The Dihao Group is a big company, and I'm sure they wouldn't collaborate with someone as low-quality and trashy as you."
Wang Yunfei flew into a rage, "Who are you calling trash?"
Ye Chen dismissed him with, "You are!"
Saying that, he ignored Wang Yunfei and walked towards the Dihao Group building.
"You're dead, stop!" Wang Yunfei quickly caught up with Ye Chen at the elevator entrance.
He had intended to give Ye Chen a good lesson, at least a couple of slaps to let him know the consequences of offending him.
But now that they were inside the Dihao Group building, he worried that causing a scene here would anger his business partners, so he had to temporarily abandon the idea of punishing him.
Through gritted teeth, he said, "You stupid *ssh*l*, I'll let you off this time, but next time you won't be so lucky!"
Ye Chen snorted and stepped into the elevator, saying to him, "Wang Yunfei, do you think you're something? Believe me, you'll soon learn the price of arrogance!"
"You…" Wang Yunfei stepped forward to rush into the elevator.
Xiao Weiwei pulled him back and said disdainfully, "Yunfei, don't ride the same elevator with such trash. You don't want to be polluted by his stink."
Wang Yunfei nodded, knowing he couldn't fight him here, and said coldly, "I'll let you off this time, but next time, I'll make you sorry!"
...
Ye Chen took the elevator directly to the top floor where the chairman's office was located.
On the Dihao Group side, Tang Sihai had already arranged everything for him, and the person responsible for interfacing with him was a woman named Wang Dongxue.
Wang Dongxue was well-known in Jinling as the city's most famous female executive. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also extremely capable, having been promoted to Vice Chairman of the Dihao Group at a young age. She had played a pivotal role in the group's success.
Now that the Dihao Group had been acquired by the Ye family, the original chairman had stepped down, while Wang Dongxue stayed on to assist the new chairman.
Upon seeing Ye Chen, Wang Dongxue was taken aback. She hadn't expected the Ye family heir mentioned by Tang Sihai to be so young and charming!
Without delay, she respectfully said, "Young Master, please honor me by coming to my office."
