Evening rush hour, the roads in Modu were exceptionally congested.
Unless you had wings, even the most luxurious cars couldnРІР‚в„ўt get through.
Stopping and going all the way, they finally reached the hotel for the gathering.
Xiao Jun and the others were already waiting at the entrance.
"Brother Ye, youРІР‚в„ўve come." Xiao Jun greeted proactively.
A roaring sound echoed from the sky, and everyone looked up to see a private helicopter slowly descending.
No need to guess; everyone knew Wang Xiaocong had arrived.
Ye Chen thought to himself, true to Principal WangРІР‚в„ўs style, his entrance was always exceptional. Of course, he also owned a helicopter, but he didnРІР‚в„ўt see the need to use it.
After all, they were here to have a meal, not to show off wealth.
Although Ye Chen thought this way, Xiao Jun and the others felt a bit tense. Wang Xiaocong was clearly provoking; how would Ye Chen react? WouldnРІР‚в„ўt they possibly start fighting?
Seeing Wang XiaocongРІР‚в„ўs arrival, everyone broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that they couldnРІР‚в„ўt afford to offend either side. Helping one party didnРІР‚в„ўt seem appropriate.
But doing nothing clearly seemed too much like they were just watching the show, which wasnРІР‚в„ўt good either.
Now all they could do was hope that both Principal Wang and Ye Chen could keep the peace.
The helicopter landed, and Wang Xiaocong, holding a beautiful woman, walked towards Ye Chen and the others.
Many people were at the hotel for dinner, but seeing someone arrive by private helicopter was still surprising.
"Impressive, arriving by helicopter just to eat."
"Looks like they have a mine at home."
"This helicopter is worth 30 million M Yuan, definitely a wealthy person."
Even those who drove million-dollar luxury cars showed envious expressions.
Ye Chen, with a smile, walked up to meet him with Liu Tian, saying with a laugh, "Principal WangРІР‚в„ўs entrance is indeed unique."
"President Ye, we finally meet. I was afraid of being late due to the traffic jam." Wang Xiaocong said with a smile.
The two of them shook hands and exchanged greetings.
The girl beside Wang Xiaocong was someone Ye Chen had seen before, and many people had questioned Wang XiaocongРІР‚в„ўs taste.
Many online said Wang XiaocongРІР‚в„ўs girlfriends were always internet celebrity types.
Actually, about this matter, Ye Chen felt those people were just idly worrying over nothing since everyone has different preferences.
As the saying goes, to each their own.
Moreover, ordinary folks wanting to date an internet celebrity is basically impossible, plainly put, itРІР‚в„ўs just sheer jealousy.
The group walked towards the hotel entrance chatting and laughing.
Xiao Jun sized up the girl beside Ye Chen, Liu Tian, and said with a smile, "Beauty, havenРІР‚в„ўt we met before?"
Before Liu Tian could answer, Ye Chen laughed, "Brother Xiao, is this how you hit on girls?"
Xiao Jun awkwardly said, "We have indeed met before."
"President Xiao isnРІР‚в„ўt wrong, we have indeed met before." Liu Tian said naturally, "Our companies have business interactions."
A man ran towards Ye Chen, complaining, "ModuРІР‚в„ўs roads are really too congested. I left early and still got here late."
Then he looked at the girl beside Ye Chen and said in surprise, "Sister Liu Tian, why are you here? Could it be that my old man is in the hotel? Is there business to discuss?"
Hearing Shen XuРІР‚в„ўs words, Ye Chen was a bit surprised too; he really hadnРІР‚в„ўt expected the boss of Xingmei Group to be Shen XuРІР‚в„ўs father.
Not only Ye Chen but also the others were somewhat surprised, since everyone gathered just to eat, drink, and have fun, never mentioning business.
Liu Tian nodded to Shen Xu and said, "I came to the gathering with Ye Chen."
"Yes, Liu Tian is my date for the night," echoed Ye Chen.
"Coming to a gathering, as a date?" Shen Xu thought to himself upon hearing these keywords, it seemed Liu Tian and Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs relationship was not ordinary.
Principal Wang requested that everyone attending the gathering bring a date, yet Ye Chen chose to bring Liu Tian.
"President Ye, letРІР‚в„ўs go, letРІР‚в„ўs not just stand around chatting," gestured Wang Xiaocong.
"Alright, Principal Wang," Ye Chen replied with a smile.
"President Ye, isnРІР‚в„ўt it a bit too formal calling me that? Just call me by my name," Wang Xiaocong said with a laugh.
"YouРІР‚в„ўre right, you shouldnРІР‚в„ўt call me President Ye either, after all, weРІР‚в„ўre here to eat and chat, not for business, no need to be so formal," Ye Chen responded with a smile.
Seeing them chatting so amicably with no intention of fighting, Shen Xu also sighed with relief.
Everyone arrived at the reserved private room and took their seats.
Once seated, Ye Chen directly said, "IРІР‚в„ўve heard many online are eagerly anticipating our meeting."
"Anticipating what?" Wang Xiaocong pretended to ask.
"Everyone wants to see how you and I compare," Ye Chen said bluntly.
Wang Xiaocong laughed, "Those people are just onlookers, ignore them. WeРІР‚в„ўre having such a pleasant chat; whatРІР‚в„ўs there to compare? Be it money or power, these are all external possessions. Besides, after coming to Modu, IРІР‚в„ўve heard many legendary stories about Brother Ye, and I genuinely admire Brother Ye. "
"Today is just for dining, chatting, and getting to know each other; theyРІР‚в„ўre bound to be disappointed."
"Brother Ye, I heard Shen Xu lost 80 million to you, but you just waved it off without a second thought; thatРІР‚в„ўs really generous, even IРІР‚в„ўd have to think twice, after all, itРІР‚в„ўs tens of millions."
Shen Xu, upon hearing this, was somewhat frustrated, "Why bring this up again?"
Wang Xiaocong gave Shen Xu a sideways glance, "You shameless guy, you know about accepting bets and being willing to lose?"
"I was just lucky to encounter such a generous person like Brother Ye," Shen Xu said with a wry face.
"A mere 80 million is negligible; after all, if Shen XuРІР‚в„ўs old man knew, heРІР‚в„ўd definitely beat him up," Ye Chen shrugged nonchalantly.
"Thank you, Brother Ye, for saving my life; if my old man found out about the bet, heРІР‚в„ўd never let me off," Shen Xu said gratefully.
Wang Xiaocong, not wanting to hear Shen XuРІР‚в„ўs shamelessness continue, voiced his curiosity, "WeРІР‚в„ўre all young, thereРІР‚в„ўs no need for secrets. Brother Ye is so legendary, your background must be extraordinary. Surely, Elder Ye is no ordinary man."
"My dad is just a farmer, thereРІР‚в„ўs nothing special about my background," Ye Chen laughed.
He looked at Wang Xiaocong and continued, "Brother CongРІР‚в„ўs imagination is so vivid; itРІР‚в„ўs a pity youРІР‚в„ўre not a director, otherwise youРІР‚в„ўd surely be the highest-grossing director in Huaxia Nation."
Wang Xiaocong laughed, "Brother Ye, donРІР‚в„ўt joke about me. If you donРІР‚в„ўt want to say, donРІР‚в„ўt. Sooner or later, the truth will come out."
"Little Cong, then wait for that day when the truth is revealed." Ye Chen laughed.
