If anyone dares to harm you, they’ll end up like this tree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Lu Yong kicked a tree trunk with the size of a bowl right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trunk broke, and the tree was actually snapped in half by the kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction after seeing that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yong’s combat power was not even inferior to his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In today’s society, what’s hardest to find is certainly talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yong used to serve as a guard for big shots, so he naturally received professional training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yong was exactly what Ye Chen needed now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded: “Alright, come home with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driving, Ye Chen took Lu Yong to Rose Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he arrived at the door, he saw a middle-aged man pacing outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen, the man came over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, are you Mr. Ye?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded: “That’s right, do you need something?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man smiled and said, “My name is Pan Gang, I’m the owner of Da Ke Group.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen could tell from the man’s demeanor that he was probably someone in a high position, quite imposing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before Ye Chen, the man maintained an aloof demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Ke Group, Ye Chen had heard of it as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In recent years, real estate has been booming, leading to the rise of nouveau riche based on real estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Gang was one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen recently happened to see one of his interviews, where he said the house prices were too low, especially in a city like Modu; they should go up more to match the city’s temperament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the interview, Ye Chen felt a bit disgusted by this person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell, the houses are four or five ten thousand yuan per square meter now and still need to rise?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How are people supposed to live?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can earn money, but you should at least leave ordinary folks a way to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Gang arrogantly said, “Mr. Ye, to be frank with you, I’ve taken a liking to this house, I’ll offer one billion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen looked at Pan Gang’s expression, seemingly certain of himself, and couldn’t help but laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One billion, is that a lot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I make more than that in a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You got the wrong person to show off in front of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen couldn’t be bothered to engage him, he walked with Lu Yong towards his villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen silent, Pan Gang thought his offer wasn’t high enough and added: “1.1 billion!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen furrowed his brow and said, “Sorry, my house isn’t for sale.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yong, at the side, was dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wow, even 1.1 billion isn’t selling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like the person he’s following really is a big shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen turn and leave, Pan Gang was furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“1.5 billion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said coldly, “There’s something wrong with your ears, I said I won’t sell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Gang said incredulously, “Are you out of your mind? Not selling for 1.5 billion, kid, you’re showing off a bit too much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, 1.5 billion could ensure you’re well-off for life, so you better reconsider. Moreover, if you drop my name in business, I could give you some favors, how about it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Favors, from you? You might as well get lost.” Ye Chen couldn’t hold back anymore and directly cussed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…” Pan Gang finally got angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s earned quite a bit over the years in real estate, respected wherever he goes, yet today this kid dared to be so rude to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Gang snorted coldly: “Kid, do you know who I am?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen glanced at Lu Yong: “You’re a lousy old man, what’s that have to do with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, if you offend me, don’t even think about doing business in the future.” Pan Gang threatened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu Yong, throw this trash out for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Mr. Ye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yong walked straight up to Pan Gang, without saying a word, he picked Pan Gang up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, like tossing a sandbag, he threw him directly out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Gang was thrown seven or eight meters, heavily hitting the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poof!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Gang ate a mouthful of mud, gritting his teeth as he stood: “Kid, you dare throw me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mouth still dirty, Lu Yong, hit him for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yong walked up to Pan Gang, raised his hand, and delivered a slap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Gang was smacked and flew, landing heavily on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Lu Yong held back, Pan Gang’s mouth still bled, and his molar got knocked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Gang crawled up from the ground, ready to get angry, when his gaze shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he recognized Lu Yong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a well-known real estate businessman in Hua Country, Pan Gang also attends some official events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen this young man beside a certain big shot before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering the possibility, Pan Gang turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yong coldly said, “Mr. Ye told you to get lost, so get lost properly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Gang was already frightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never thought that someone beside a big shot would now be this young man’s bodyguard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shows how terrifying this young man’s identity is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, his eyes were filled with deep fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally understood that Ye Chen was someone he simply couldn’t provoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a Rolls-Royce stopped at Ye Chen’s villa entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man in his fifties tugged at a young man and they both got out of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Gang was stunned seeing them: “Chairman Wang, how come you’re here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Daming glanced at Pan Gang also puzzled: “Old Pan, what happened to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Gang gave a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Daming looked at Ye Chen and quickly walked over, shaking Ye Chen’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Ye, it was my poor guidance, my son is immature, so I brought him here personally to apologize to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Gang gasped from hearing Wang Daming’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who Wang Daming is, his strength far surpasses mine, and he’s apologizing to Ye Chen, it shows how terrifying Ye Chen’s identity is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Gang stood awkwardly at the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Daming asked, “Mr. Ye, what happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yong said coldly on the side, “He was disrespectful to Mr. Ye, so I taught him a lesson.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Wang Daming notice Lu Yong beside Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lu Yong, Wang Daming’s eyes also tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was actually him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his father’s expression change, Wang Congcong asked, “Dad, what’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Daming said, “You brat, do you know who that young man is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Wang Daming whispered a few words in Wang Congcong’s ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his father’s words, Wang Congcong’s expression changed too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He originally didn’t even want to come, now he finally understood how frightening Ye Chen’s power was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, that kind of person was serving as Ye Chen’s bodyguard, just how horrifying is Ye Chen’s background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded to Wang Daming: “Chairman Wang, let’s talk inside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Pan Gang standing at the door, Ye Chen throughout never even looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Gang gave a bitter smile: “This time, pulling a bluff hit iron.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1272,"2026-06-03T08:12:36.329Z","2026-06-03T08:12:40.945Z",1,"novelbin.me","b45d6b0b5fae6c620d1b5d69e462e3f68a0a5ac42bb75e2d63729aaa73ac32bd","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-362","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-360",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
