Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group-Chapter 787 - 761: Trouble Stems from the Tongue

When Ye Chen and Song Yang walked into the meeting room, the other board members were already there waiting.

"Hello, Chairman Ye."

Everyone present stood up and greeted Ye Chen.

Ye Chen did not participate in the company’s operations, leaving it all to Chairman Zhang. But with Chairman Zhang stuck abroad, he had to bite the bullet and attend the meeting.

This was the first time everyone had met Ye Chen, and naturally, there was a flurry of flattery.

"I’ve long heard that Chairman Ye is young and promising, and meeting you today truly lives up to your reputation."

"We should really learn from Chairman Ye, already owning the entire Group and still working hard delivering packages."

Seeing Ye Chen’s attire, everyone could guess what he was currently working on.

"Don’t say that, everyone. I’m delivering packages just to experience life, and it’s because of you that I can focus on this experience," Ye Chen replied with equally perfunctory words.

Hearing Ye Chen speak like this, someone even twitched a corner of their mouth.

"Refusing to be the chairman of the Group just to deliver packages, it’s really hard to understand the thinking."

But after all, that was Ye Chen’s business; their main task was to manage the Group well.

"Chairman Ye, you’re overrating us. It’s what we should do, and it’s our honor to serve the Group," Kang Hua said with a smile.

After all, he was the oldest on the board, so he made a statement.

Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction. On the way here, through Song Yang’s introduction, he learned that Kang Zhen was Kang Hua’s son.

The father and son were really different; the father was humble and courteous, while the son was arrogant and proud.

"Alright, since Chairman Zhang is abroad on business and can’t return, I’ll chair the meeting today. Let’s discuss the future development of the Group," Ye Chen said straight to the point.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started to express their thoughts.

...

A young man in a suit walked out of the Marriott Mansion; it was Kang Hua’s assistant.

After saying a few words to the security guard, the assistant had the electric gate opened to let Kang Zhen’s car in.

After parking his car, Kang Zhen walked over angrily and looked at the guard, saying, "Just wait. In a moment, I’ll have my father fire you."

The guard was so frightened that he shivered, feeling a bit wronged. If being diligent led to being fired, it was discouraging enough not to work here.

"Young Master Kang, please follow me," the assistant said respectfully.

Kang Zhen followed the assistant inside, strutting along while employees greeted him.

Although nobody knew Kang Zhen, they all recognized the assistant and knew the young man behind him was someone special.

"Where’s my dad?" Kang Zhen asked the assistant.

"Young Master Kang, Manager Kang is in a meeting. Please wait in the lounge, and I’ll call you when the meeting is over," the assistant said.

Kang Zhen nodded and followed the assistant into the lounge.

"Young Master Kang, I have to go back to work, so I’ll excuse myself first," the assistant said and left the lounge.

Seeing who had come in, Liu Tian looked surprised, "Kang Zhen, why did you follow me here?"

"Miss Liu, I told you, any woman I fancy, I must win her over," Kang Zhen said, leering at Liu Tian.

"Shameless," Liu Tian’s face turned a bit dark.

Kang Zhen smiled and said, "Miss Liu, you’re even more charming when you’re angry."

Liu Tian ignored him.

Kang Zhen said with a teasing tone, "Miss Liu, I advise you to think carefully, that young man is just a driver while my father is a member of the Group’s board. You should know the difference. Do you really plan to spend your life with that pauper?"

"Miss Liu, I advise you not to be naive. Love can’t feed you; you should recognize reality and not live in a fairy tale."

"Kang Zhen, will you stop it already? I’ve told you I don’t like you, so why do I have to put up with you? Besides, who I like or who I’m with has nothing to do with you, right?" Liu Tian said, unable to tolerate it any longer.

"Fine, since you won’t heed the easy way, don’t blame me for being rude. You like that guy, right? I’ll have my dad fire him. With only a job delivering packages, let’s see how you’ll live," Kang Zhen said with a mocking face.

He originally thought that since he had said this much, Liu Tian would certainly beg him, and then he could make any unreasonable demands.

But to his disappointment, Liu Tian just looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Kang Zhen’s anger flared up even more, and he thought to himself, "Fine, just wait. Soon you’ll be kneeling on the ground begging me."

...

The discussion in the meeting room was intense. Although everyone’s thoughts differed, Ye Chen could see that they were all sincerely strategizing for the Group’s future betterment.

He checked the time; the discussion had lasted two hours. Ye Chen smiled and said, "Let’s take a break and have some afternoon tea."

Ye Chen wasn’t a workaholic; he believed everything should be done with rhythm and balance.

Since the discussion had already been so long, why not relax a bit?

Following Ye Chen’s lead, everyone walked out of the meeting room.

Since the lounge and meeting room are on the same floor, upon hearing movement in the hallway, Kang Zhen knew the meeting was over and hurried there.

"Xiao Zhen, why are you here?" Kang Hua looked at his son and asked.

Kang Zhen ignored his father and looked at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression, wondering why this guy was attending the board meeting.

But when he saw Song Yang, he figured it out: the meeting was over, and this guy needed to drive Song Yang back to the hotel.

"Dad, this guy did personal work as a hotel attendant, insulted me, and even stole my girlfriend," Kang Zhen said in one breath, pointing at Ye Chen without thinking.

After speaking, Kang Zhen looked at Ye Chen with a mocking face and said, "Kid, now you know fear, right? I told you, the poor only get bullied."

He wanted to see a fearful expression on Ye Chen’s face, but to his disappointment, the young man in front of him looked at him with a smile.

"Slap!" A loud slap resounded.

Kang Zhen was seeing stars from the unexpected slap.

He covered his reddening cheek and looked incredulously at his father. His father had never hit him before, and yet today, he slapped him in front of everyone.

"Dad, why did you hit me?" Kang Zhen looked at his father, unconvinced.

Kang Hua, full of rage, said, "Apologize to Chairman Ye immediately."

"But I’m the victim here. Why should I apologize to someone of lower status?" Kang Zhen roared.

He thought, as the son of a board member of the Group, why should he apologize to a mere attendant?
