This jade is ice jade, designed by a master from Mei Hua Group. Your girlfriend has such slender wrists and fair skin, this jade bracelet suits her perfectly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the clerk call her Ye Chen’s girlfriend, Zhao Ying’s cheeks flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen put the jade bracelet on Zhao Ying’s wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, nice, very pretty.\" Ye Chen nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly came from behind, \"Xiaoying, what are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the man behind her, the smile on Zhao Ying’s face vanished, \"What does it have to do with you where I am?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was not angry after Zhao Ying’s retort; instead, he smiled and said, \"Xiaoying, you know, our families have already arranged our marriage. Aunt called today and asked me to strengthen our relationship! I was also planning to buy you a jade gift here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Ying snorted coldly, \"My marriage isn’t controlled by my parents. If they want to marry someone off, let them. I definitely won’t marry you. It’s best if you stay away from me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Zhao Ying took Ye Chen’s arm, \"I already have a boyfriend, so our marriage is off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhao Ying’s actions, Zhang Ke’s face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He originally thought Ye Chen was from their circle of wealthy second-generation heirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after taking a closer look, he was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen seemed unfamiliar, as if he had never met him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ke sneered, \"Brother, my name is Zhang Ke, Deputy General Manager of RunDa Group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said calmly, \"I’m Ye Chen, I drive for DiDi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Drive for DiDi?\" Zhang Ke was initially stunned, then a mocking expression appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ye Chen had an overwhelming background, he would really have to back off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A DiDi driver trying to compete with him for a woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Ying, understanding Zhang Ke’s character, pulled Ye Chen away, \"Ye Chen, don’t bother with this guy. Let’s buy the bracelet and leave; he’s infuriating just to look at.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Zhao Ying asked the store assistant, \"How much is this bracelet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clerk replied, \"The original price of this bracelet is 1.28 million, but now it’s on sale for 888,000.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the price, Zhao Ying was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She originally thought that the bracelet was only worth two to three hundred thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Zhao Ying’s family was very wealthy, her monthly allowance was only seventy to eighty thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Ying spent money lavishly usually, with only about fifty thousand in her card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t enough to buy this bracelet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, it was a simple matter; she could just call a friend to borrow money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Zhang Ke standing right there, she felt a bit awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhao Ying’s reaction, Zhang Ke sneered inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He originally doubted Ye Chen and Zhao Ying’s relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could a DiDi driver be Zhao Ying’s boyfriend?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhao Ying pay for the jade bracelet herself confirmed his suspicions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, a bolder idea popped into his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that this DiDi driver was being kept by Zhao Ying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right, that must be it. This guy’s so handsome, he must’ve seduced Zhao Ying through some unsavory means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ke snorted, \"Kid, you let your girlfriend pay for the bracelet, are you even a man? Maybe you have no money at all, just a loser trying to scam Xiao Ying for her money?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Idiot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen snorted and walked over to Zhao Ying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He affectionately pinched Zhao Ying’s nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You little rascal, shopping with me and spending your own money? Are you trying to disrespect me? Watch how I punish you later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Ye Chen took out his bank card, \"Put it on mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the store manager came out, and upon seeing Ye Chen, his expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chairman Ye, why didn’t you inform me about your inspection?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled wryly, intending to keep a low profile, but he was still recognized.\u003C\u002Fp>",1165,"2026-06-03T08:12:36.328Z","2026-06-03T08:12:40.944Z",1,"novelbin.me","836a89fc9ef77cc5b9c1bc7769e5f4cacbe21bc75b8215c80624f5c0e35dca2e","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-254","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-252",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
