Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs words were powerful and overwhelming.
Everyone present was stunned.
They felt an inexplicable aura of authority coming from Ye Chen.
How could this be? IsnРІР‚в„ўt Ye Chen just a DiDi Brother? How could he have such an aura?
Li Ruqi, who was standing by, was dumbfounded.
The current Ye Chen was genuinely handsome.
Even the primary school classmates sitting at the same table were taken aback.
Just now, knowing Ye Chen was a DiDi driver, no one even bothered to pay attention to him.
But now, the aura around Ye Chen left everyone a bit dizzy.
A DiDi driver, how could he have such an air of authority?
Everyone agreed with Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs statement.
After all, since Ye Chen didnРІР‚в„ўt receive the otherРІР‚в„ўs gift, he had no reason to toast to his classmates, and they shouldnРІР‚в„ўt morally coerce him.
Shi YongРІР‚в„ўs face turned grim from Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs words.
Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs words were piercing, rendering him speechless.
But Shi Yong felt he lost face being reprimanded by Ye Chen, so he said coldly, "Heh, do you think just by not accepting gifts, nothing matters? You, a DiDi driver, compared to Chairman Zhang, who do you think you are? Do you think the class belle is someone you can match up to? What right do you have to chat with her?"
Shi Yong thought he had some money, giving him the capital to crush Ye Chen.
As for the class belle, even if Shi Yong couldnРІР‚в„ўt have her, it should be Zhang ChuanРІР‚в„ўs, right? Why would she be revolving around Ye Chen?
At this moment, Shi Yong appeared utterly snobbish.
While stepping on Ye Chen, he fanatically flattered Zhang Chuan.
Li Ruqi originally found Shi Yong annoying, but now just felt this man was utterly disgusting.
A class reunion is meant for bonding, but this guy came here to show off.
Ye Chen sneered, "DonРІР‚в„ўt you have any self-awareness? Showing off here, weРІР‚в„ўre all classmates, whatРІР‚в„ўs with the big bad wolf act?"
Shi Yong, infuriated, retorted, "Ye Chen, no matter what, IРІР‚в„ўm a returning overseas student. Do you know Da Mai Group? They all want to recruit me."
Ye Chen snorted, "Is Da Mai Group that impressive? DonРІР‚в„ўt you know itРІР‚в„ўs already notorious in the country? Only a bootlicker like you would be interested in a trash company like that. If IРІР‚в„ўm not mistaken, itРІР‚в„ўs not that you didnРІР‚в„ўt join them; they probably didnРІР‚в„ўt even accept you. Such a garbage company doesnРІР‚в„ўt want you; how worthless must you be?"
Shi Yong was left speechless and embarrassed by Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs scolding, planning initially to show off.
But unexpectedly, instead of impressing, he got a verbal thrashing.
At this time, a green tea girl attempting to please Zhang Chuan thought stepping up now would surely gain Zhang ChuanРІР‚в„ўs favor.
So, she stood up and said, "Ye Chen, youРІР‚в„ўre out of line. Chairman Zhang is a chairman, and what are you? Just a DiDi driver. What makes you think you can compare to Chairman Zhang?"
Zhang Chuan nodded, casting a cold gaze at Ye Chen.
Initially, he was the King Bi here.
But seeing the class belle chatting so happily with Ye Chen, he couldnРІР‚в„ўt feel more frustrated.
Especially with the recent sarcasm, Ye Chen seemingly targeting Shi Yong but actually insulting him as well, which made him very unhappy.
Ye Chen heard the female classmateРІР‚в„ўs question and chuckled lightly, "YouРІР‚в„ўve got it wrong. After all these years in primary school, I like those who can sit down and chat. If I donРІР‚в„ўt like him, why should I pay any attention?"
Now Zhang Chuan was nearly furious.
Since he became successful, everyone he knew had been flattering him.
But now, this DiDi driver actually looked down on him.
And said, РІР‚в„ўWhy should I pay him any attention.РІР‚в„ў
Ye Chen said coldly, "There are only two kinds of people who can be my friends: those who are better than me and those I respect."
With that, Ye Chen raised his glass.
"For example, Ruoqi, although sheРІР‚в„ўs just a worker, sheРІР‚в„ўs kind-hearted. To my knowledge, sheРІР‚в„ўs already sponsored more than a dozen underprivileged students, so such a person deserves my toast."
Hearing Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs praise, Li Ruqi blushed.
After clinking glasses with Li Ruqi, Ye Chen looked at the others.
"As for the rest of you, currently, no one has the qualification for me to toast."
Hearing Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs words, those classmates frowned, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Ye Chen continued, "Moreover, even if you were to toast me, you probably donРІР‚в„ўt have the qualification either."
A silence descended on the scene.
Even the King Bi, Zhang Chuan, was left stunned.
Shi Yong was gape-mouthed in shock.
The green tea girls were all dumbfounded.
The others were equally bewildered.
Oh crap, they realized now that the real Master Bi was here.
Compared to Ye Chen, everyone elseРІР‚в„ўs show-off was leagues apart from Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs level.
However, many girls in the class felt their hearts racing when watching Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs performance.
Unlike others showing off, Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs act exuded dominance and confidence.
This was something the others never possessed.
Even Zhang ChuanРІР‚в„ўs female secretary could feel her heart pounding.
Zhang Chuan heard Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs words, first in shock and then couldnРІР‚в„ўt help but burst into hearty laughter.
"Haha, Ye Chen, you sure can show off. Who do you think you are? A billionaire big shot? We arenРІР‚в„ўt worthy of toasting to you. Do you really think youРІР‚в„ўre infallible?"
The other classmates also snapped back.
The green tea girl sneered, "Nowadays, even DiDi drivers have the nerve to show off with such confidence."
"Exactly, saying weРІР‚в„ўre not worthy to toast him, who does he think he is."
Zhang Chuan suddenly slammed the table, pointing at Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, do you look down on me? Not toasting me, huh? IРІР‚в„ўll remember this. Someday, IРІР‚в„ўll make you kneel and toast to me."
With that, Zhang Chuan huffed and told his secretary, "Get the waiter to settle the bill."
After all, he remembered the saying, РІР‚в„ўDonРІР‚в„ўt take advantage of others,РІР‚в„ў and РІР‚в„ўDonРІР‚в„ўt eat what belongs to someone else,РІР‚в„ў yet Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs been devouring the dishes.
But at this moment, the waiter said, "Sorry, the bill has already been settled."
"What?" Hearing the waiterРІР‚в„ўs words, Zhang Chuan was stunned.
"Who paid?" Zhang Chuan asked displeased.
The waiter replied, "Our restaurant is a branch of the Marriott Hotel. According to regulations, whenever a major shareholder of Marriott dines with us, the bill is always on the house."
"A major shareholder of the Marriott Group?" Everyone was shocked.
Marriott Group is one of the top three enterprises in Hua Country. Could it be someone so impressive among these classmates?
Zhang Chuan was also stunned, looking puzzled and asking, "Major shareholder? WhoРІР‚в„ўs the major shareholder?"
The waiter bowed to Ye Chen and said, "Chairman Ye, your bill is on the house as per our hotel policy."
Ye Chen nodded, "Mm, I understand."
At this point, Zhang Chuan was also stunned.
He finally understood why Ye Chen was so confident.
Turned out he had genuine reasons to be confident.
At this moment, the classmates were all in disbelief.
They never dreamed that the Ye Chen they looked down upon was actually a major shareholder of the Marriott Hotel.
"Ye Chen, well done. I never expected you to be so low-key and wealthy, yet claiming to be a DiDi driver."
"I guessed Ye Chen couldnРІР‚в„ўt be just a simple DiDi driver."
The classmates who ignored Ye Chen earlier were now coming to their senses, all starting to flatter Ye Chen.
Ye Chen gave them a light smile, "Actually, I really am a DiDi driver. Driving for DiDi is my main occupation. Other things like owning airlines and restaurants are just my sideline businesses."
Everyone: "..."
