Alright, the agreement between our two companies is terminated starting today. Please leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiao snorted coldly: \"Just based on you alone? We’ve been cooperating with Huamei Group for three years, Boss Chen and I are friends, based on just your word?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ming’s face was extremely awkward: \"President Li, now Mr. Ye is the company’s boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiao: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, Li Xiao, who had been looking smug, suddenly turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about the arrogant words he said today, Li Xiao wished he could slap himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of all the people to offend, he offended Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huamei Group is Li Xiao’s company’s largest supplier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the other party terminates the agreement with him, it means losing the supply source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also means that their company will go bankrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiao knew that he had offended Ye Chen terribly today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chairman Ye, can you forgive me?\" Li Xiao still held onto a glimmer of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think?\" Ye Chen’s expression remained indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiao left dejectedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the support of Huamei Group, he would find it difficult to move forward and would have to switch industries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After handling the company’s matters, Ye Chen left Mei Hua Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, his phone rang; it was a call from Zhao Qiao’er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiao’er, where shall we meet tonight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Chen, I might not make it, I’m sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Ye Chen’s expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hated being stood up by others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing Ye Chen’s cold tone, Zhao Qiao’er hurriedly explained, \"Ye Chen, it’s like this, my father is sick, severely ill, so I can’t accompany you, I’m sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’er almost cried as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhao Qiao’er’s sobs, Ye Chen laughed: \"Silly girl, don’t cry, which hospital is he in? I’ll go and visit Uncle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At Modu First Central Hospital,\" Zhao Qiao’er replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I’ll head over now,\" Ye Chen nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Modu First Central, while a decent hospital in Modu, it still couldn’t compare to his Ren’ai Hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen had already decided that if the old man’s condition was serious, he would help arrange a transfer to Ren’ai Hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, Ye Chen drove to Modu First Central Hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the room number Zhao Qiao’er sent, Ye Chen arrived at the ward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he reached the door of the ward, he heard a man’s voice from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiao’er, don’t hesitate. Uncle is seriously ill now, I just spoke with the attending doctor, he must be transferred to Ren’ai Hospital.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, I don’t have that kind of money,\" Zhao Qiao’er said with an ugly expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, you still have me! As long as you become my girlfriend, I’ll immediately transfer Uncle to the best hospital.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen glanced at the guy, chubby and short with a face full of acne marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A true friend wouldn’t take advantage of someone’s misery; with her father critically ill, using it to threaten her into being his girlfriend is outright despicable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’er grit her teeth, saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Mrs. Zhao said, \"Qiao’er, quickly agree. We raised you to this age, now it’s time for you to repay us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’er glanced at Chen Tao beside her and frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Lu Tao’s family was wealthy, he was essentially a nouveau riche, both fat and unattractive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The idea of being his girlfriend was something Zhao Qiao’er would never agree to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now her father’s life hung in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Tao said: \"Qiao’er, don’t hesitate, Uncle’s life is in your hands, as long as you become my wife, I’ll bring your parents to the City, and I’ll make sure your brother attends the best private school.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Chen Tao’s words, Mrs. Zhao’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiao’er, what are you waiting for? Tao Tao is great, this is a turning point for our family; your brother, your father, and I are counting on you. Are you really going to watch your father die here and become an unfilial daughter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Zhao became more and more agitated as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’er’s expression was very unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their family relied entirely on her father driving long distances to make money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father cherished her the most, supporting her through college, but last year he suddenly became seriously ill and collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To treat her father’s illness, the family almost exhausted all their savings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she worked hard, doing live streams, she still couldn’t fill this gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Tao was Zhao Qiao’er’s high school classmate and had been pursuing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhao Qiao’er always focused on appearances, and she knew that Chen Tao might seem honest, but he was actually a scumbag, having several girlfriends in school whom he discarded once he was bored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, her mother was clearly pushing her into the fire pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if she didn’t agree, her father would die. Her father had always been the one who cherished her the most, how could she bear to watch him die?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gritting her teeth, Zhao Qiao’er was about to agree when suddenly a voice came, \"Qiao’er, don’t worry, I’ll find a way to handle Uncle’s hospitalization.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Tao saw that Zhao Qiao’er was about to agree, but suddenly someone like Cheng Yaojin appeared, messing up his plans, and his face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said calmly, \"I’m Qiao’er’s friend, Auntie, don’t force Qiao’er to marry a man she doesn’t love, I’ll help her out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’er looked at Ye Chen with delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen’s looks compared to Chen Tao were like day and night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, for reasons unknown, since seeing Ye Chen, Zhao Qiao’er had a heart-pounding feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Tao said coldly, \"Kid, what do you do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled slightly, \"I’m a DiDi Brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ye Chen revealing his identity, Chen Tao suddenly laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, you, a DiDi Brother want Uncle to go to Ren’ai Hospital? Do you know how much it costs for hospitalization there, can you afford the registration fee?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Zhao frowned upon hearing Ye Chen’s identity, \"Young man, our family has had enough bad luck, don’t make it worse, okay? My daughter has to be Chen Tao’s girlfriend today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom...\" After all, Ye Chen was kind enough to visit her father, and her mother’s attitude upset Zhao Qiao’er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled slightly, \"Auntie, indeed you have nurtured Qiao’er, but you shouldn’t sacrifice her happiness for this; moreover, I’ll make sure Uncle stays in the best hospital with the best medical experts and facilities, rest assured.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Ye Chen, Mrs. Zhao snorted, \"Just based on you, a DiDi Brother? Do you have the capability?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Tao also mocked from alongside, \"Kid, will you die if you don’t boast? Ren’ai Hospital, it’s a premium hospital, you wouldn’t necessarily get in even if you have money. My dad, Chen Ming, is Huamei Group’s boss; he’s friends with a director at Ren’ai Hospital; do you have such connections?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re Chen Ming’s son?\" Ye Chen looked at Chen Tao with a peculiar expression.\u003C\u002Fp>",1228,"2026-06-03T08:12:36.328Z","2026-06-03T08:12:40.944Z",1,"novelbin.me","aac7cf2e70f7150db4ded6aba91bb11bdddea7ad5233db9be94d5287319676bc","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-250","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-248",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
