Please give me a few minutes, Mr. Ye, I’ll check for you right away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Ye Chen was his boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to do something for the boss was his opportunity and honor, so how could he refuse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As impressive as Song Dong might be, Ye Chen was still his boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Song Dong was driving his cousin home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, his phone rang: \"Brother Song, the boss of the Hilton Hotel just personally brought people over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, that’s normal. I know Wang Dali; he should be coming to pay respects to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Dong was always self-assured, regardless of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to him, Song Jia said, \"Cousin, you’re really well-connected, even the general manager of Hilton needs to toast you. That idiot dared to offend you; he probably doesn’t know how he’s going to die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His underling’s voice was a bit awkward: \"Brother Dong, they weren’t looking for you; they were looking for Ye Chen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Dong was instantly stunned, and the car swerved on the road, nearly hitting the guardrail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The underling said, \"Not only did they toast Ye Chen, but they also announced a shocking piece of news: he is the second-largest shareholder of Hilton Hotel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Song Dong frowned, and his expression turned ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hilton Hotel is a world-renowned grand hotel, with a market value of hundreds of billions, and the annual salary of the second-largest shareholder is in the billions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Dong’s expression became a bit stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Song Dong had been in the business world for many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Becoming the second-largest shareholder of Hilton Hotel couldn’t possibly be an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an opponent couldn’t be underestimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Song Dong felt a bit regretful; he shouldn’t have stepped forward to offend Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had already made strong statements in front of everyone; there was no turning back now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Dong took a deep breath and said to his underling: \"Immediately check everything about Ye Chen for me, I want all his information.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Song Dong thought Ye Chen was just a show-off, but now he had to take him seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Ye Chen was the second-largest shareholder of Hilton Hotel, Song Dong wasn’t too worried about this identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what if he was the second-largest shareholder? Hilton Hotel is an international enterprise, but their Song Family was the local powerhouse in Modu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Ye Chen was the second-largest shareholder, without other backgrounds, he wasn’t a match for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Ye Chen was also using his connections to investigate Song Dong’s situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Ma, help me check on someone named Song Dong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Teng, look into the Song Family’s Song Dong for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"President Zhao at Huadu Law Firm, I’m Ye Chen, can you help me investigate Song Dong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Fei from Dragon Shield? Could you look into someone named Song Dong for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen was utilizing his network to gather information on Song Dong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Song Dong was stronger than Ding Bo, he didn’t want any unexpected failures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Ye Chen’s phone rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fei from Dragon Shield: \"President Ye, I’ve already sent Song Dong’s information to your Weixun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qidong from Huadu: \"President Ye, I have found the information on Song Dong...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calls from Brother Ma and Brother Teng also came in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen’s network was very strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Ye Chen had uncovered all of Song Dong’s background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen’s connections were terrifying, including major figures in Hua Country’s business circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, investigating someone like Song Dong was very easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen already had a pile of dirt on Song Dong in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, Song Dong was not clean. Though he was a business elite, his company had many issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tax evasion, producing counterfeit goods, and even once forcing a female university student to commit suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abroad, this guy had even more infamous actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bribing officials, illegally acquiring land to build factories, and even creating false accounts abroad to evade taxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ye Chen were to leak all this information about Song Dong, this guy would probably end up in prison for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen’s lips curved into a smile; he went directly to find a laptop and started typing a string of code on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Song Dong had also received feedback about Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, I checked that kid’s background; he’s just a DiDi driver.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What, a DiDi driver? How is that possible?\" Song Dong couldn’t believe it; how could a DiDi driver have the audacity to act arrogant with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, all his underlings could find after a long investigation was that Ye Chen was a DiDi driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Dong frowned, wondering how a DiDi Brother could become a major shareholder in Hilton Hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to him, Song Jia laughed, \"This guy probably stumbled upon some luck to unexpectedly become a shareholder of Hilton.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Dong nodded, \"That’s very possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips curled into a cold smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ye Chen really had only this identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then disposing of Ye Chen would be exceedingly simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to show Ye Chen the consequences of crossing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, he was already picturing Ye Chen kneeling before him, begging for mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Song Dong’s phone rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to call anymore, I know that kid is just a DiDi Brother, right?\" Song Dong said impatiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person on the other end looked puzzled, thinking what on earth a DiDi Brother meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, something has happened; our fake accounts have been discovered by the tax department of M Country. They now have the evidence and have sealed off all our factories in M Country.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Song Dong’s expression changed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nature of this situation was far too serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tax evasion in M Country was a serious crime, and now he might already be on M Country’s wanted list. If he went to any M Country allies, he might be caught and extradited to M Country to serve time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, didn’t you say there was no chance of exposure? How did this information end up with M Country’s tax department?\" Song Dong shouted angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person on the other end took a deep breath: \"I don’t know, but I heard from an insider that all the information was sent through an email. Mr. Song, did you offend someone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Dong’s face changed: \"Could it be him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>```\u003C\u002Fp>",1323,"2026-06-03T08:12:36.328Z","2026-06-03T08:12:40.945Z",1,"novelbin.me","f06ea1df89e6bed56993bbbfb92fb5d6e8b2ba94aca3c4eb42dda13e74c8e61a","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-313","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-311",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
