Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group-Chapter 785 - 759: The Opportunity Arises

Although Liu Tian was puzzled by the hotel staff’s attitude towards Ye Chen, she didn’t ask him about it.

The two people walked straight to a window seat where a man in a suit was sitting.

Liu Tian knew this was her blind date, Kang Zhen.

Kang Zhen saw Liu Tian approaching, but when he noticed Ye Chen beside her, his expression briefly changed, though it was not easily noticeable.

"Hello, Miss Liu, I’m Kang Zhen." Kang Zhen stood up as he greeted Liu Tian.

Liu Tian gave a faint smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Kang. Let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Ye Chen."

Possibly because Liu Tian’s mother had already told him about Ye Chen, Kang Zhen showed no displeasure and maintained a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Ye, please have a seat. By the look of your attire, you must be a delivery man. That must be a tough job, braving the elements, and one minor mistake could lead to customer complaints," Kang Zhen said with sympathy.

Ye Chen said nothing. He knew Kang Zhen wasn’t sincere and wanted to see what he would say next.

Of course, Kang Zhen planned to harshly belittle Ye Chen and win Liu Tian over.

From the first glance, he felt Liu Tian was his type, and once Kang Zhen liked a woman, he was determined to have her.

With a smile, he said to Liu Tian, "Miss Liu, I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. You’re exactly what I’ve been looking for."

Kang Zhen thought he would gain Liu Tian’s favor, but the effect was the opposite.

Liu Tian found the man in front of her very insincere and calmly said, "Mr. Kang, I’m sorry, but you’re not my ideal type."

Even after hearing Liu Tian’s words, Kang Zhen kept smiling.

He turned to Ye Chen and said, "Mr. Ye, let me give you some advice: leave Miss Liu. After all, the gap in status between you two is too wide. As a man, you can’t accept having a girlfriend who is more outstanding and stronger than you, right?"

"I don’t mind," Ye Chen replied calmly.

Kang Zhen thought to himself that this man was shameless, with such a clear hint, yet he remained oblivious.

"Even if you don’t mind now, the difference between you two is huge. Marriage should be between families of equal standing. You might not care, but Miss Liu is a girl, and she can’t ignore others’ opinions. Even if she doesn’t, what about her parents? Have you considered them?"

"You’re young and not ambitious, just content with delivering packages. I’d like to know how long you plan to do it. Are you going to waste your life in such a manner?" Kang Zhen lectured like a senior giving advice.

"Tian Tian doesn’t mind, so neither do I. Maybe I’ll change jobs in the future, like delivering food," Ye Chen shrugged.

This statement left Kang Zhen speechless. Apparently, that was the ambition of the young man before him.

Ye Chen didn’t engage but gave a strong counter.

Kang Zhen took a sip of coffee and continued, "You’re still young and have no idea about the importance of money. In this society, strength is required. A man’s looks can’t fill the stomach; ability is the king."

Seeing Ye Chen, Kang Zhen understood that Liu Tian liked this man for his appearance.

Looking at Liu Tian, he continued, "Wealth is a mark of a man’s success. Girls like men with money and power. I have an annual salary of a million, a car, and a house. If Miss Liu wishes, I can make you the happiest woman in the world. Whatever you want, I can provide."

Liu Tian smiled at Kang Zhen and said, "I want you to stop bothering me. We are indeed unsuitable."

Kang Zhen ignored her words but looked somewhat embarrassed.

With an arrogant look, he said, "Mr. Ye, shouldn’t you consider the future generations? Do you want your children to live humbly too? Maybe you can’t understand this, so let me show you the power of money."

While speaking, Kang Zhen’s eyes never left Liu Tian, and the gaze was one of possession, not love.

Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Liu Tian thought he might be a conman, despite his boastfulness during their first meeting.

"Mr. Kang, there’s no need to say these things to me and Tian Tian. Our love is pure and untainted," Ye Chen said.

Kang Zhen realized that regardless of his words, Liu Tian and Ye Chen were ignoring him, knowing he had to demonstrate with action.

He waved over a server who came and asked, "Sir, what do you need?"

Kang Zhen took out several hundred-dollar bills and placed them in front of the server, pointing at Ye Chen, "Get this gentleman out of here."

Seeing the server unmoved, Kang Zhen put another stack of money on the table, "Do as I say, and it’s all yours."

"Sir, this..."

The server remained still, and Kang Zhen’s face turned grim, not believing there would be people indifferent to money.

"Didn’t you hear me? Do you want me to file a complaint?" Kang Zhen threatened.

"Chairman Ye, I..." The server looked at Ye Chen with a conflicted expression.

He couldn’t possibly throw Ye Chen out unless he wanted to lose his job, but didn’t know if he should reveal Ye Chen’s identity.

Previously, Ye Chen had asked them not to reveal who he was.

"Chairman Ye?" Liu Tian heard the name again, now sure Ye Chen had an unusual status.

However, Kang Zhen just laughed, "Miss Liu’s mother said she didn’t have a boyfriend, and I found it odd. It turns out you took a courier to act like a temporary boyfriend."

Earlier, Kang Zhen was annoyed, thinking Liu Tian really had a boyfriend whom she was devoted to.

Now he knew it was all a show, acting in front of him.

Feeling confident about pursuing Liu Tian, he turned to Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye, it must be tough for you, working as a delivery man and now as a hotel server, not easy at all."

Kang Zhen mistakenly thought the server had called out Ye Chen’s name, assuming he was a hotel server.
