I want to see who’s got such guts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Brother Leopard, Huang Mao instantly perked up and scrambled to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Leopard, it’s this kid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today I’ll show him what happens when he messes with my brothers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Leopard turned to look at Ye Chen and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three DiDi Brothers trembled all over under Brother Leopard’s icy gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon seeing Ye Chen, Brother Leopard was immediately dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Ye, why is it you again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Leopard was on the verge of tears; he had been running into Ye Chen every day these past few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen teased, “That guy Huang Mao said you’d come here to kill me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nonsense, even if you gave me ten guts, I wouldn’t dare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Leopard directly picked Huang Mao up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re really seeking death for daring to provoke Mr. Ye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Leopard glared coldly at Huang Mao and slapped him across the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now both sides of Huang Mao’s face were swollen, striking a rather balanced look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Leopard scoffed and said, “Drag them out and break their legs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly thereafter, screams were heard outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Leopard, visibly trembling, looked at Ye Chen: “Mr. Ye, is this satisfactory to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said indifferently, “Manage your people better in the future, now scram.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Leopard bowed to Ye Chen, then led his men out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wu and his two friends were all dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, you know Brother Leopard?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, met a few times before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, you’re amazing. Even a big gangster like Brother Leopard is afraid of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The wicked can’t suppress virtue. Maybe I’m just a righteous kind of person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, Chen Wu and the others understood that Ye Chen’s identity was not as simple as they thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said, “Well, the mood is all gone for today. How about I host a big meal next time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, thanks a lot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone left, Ye Chen checked the time, seeing he still had an hour before his appointment with Tang Xiaofei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to drinking, Ye Chen decided to hail a taxi to the Western restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, at the girls’ dormitory of Fudan University,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei was picking out outfits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, none seemed satisfactory to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She somewhat regretted not having bought some brand-name clothing since she didn’t have anything proper for a date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, so our Xiaofei is putting on makeup and trying on clothes, huh? Come on, tell me honestly, which handsome guy are you going out with?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei blushed: “It’s nothing, just help me decide, which outfit looks better on me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her friend laughed, “Our Xiaofei is so pretty, any outfit would make a crowd of guys swoon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei thought for a moment and chose a more pure-looking outfit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was her first meal with Ye Chen, and she wanted to leave a good impression on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about meeting Ye Chen soon, Tang Xiaofei felt very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not having had the chance to dine with Ye Chen had always been a regret for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally thinking she wouldn’t have the opportunity again, she felt overjoyed when the chance arose once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Checking the time, there was still half an hour, and Tang Xiaofei hastily left the dormitory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei exceptionally put on some light makeup today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wearing a light blue dress, she looked very beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially feeling plenty of time, she was unexpectedly caught in traffic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time she arrived at the restaurant, it was already 8:05.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei was worried, afraid that Ye Chen would be angry and leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, upon arriving, she saw Ye Chen was already there, looking at his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen’s handsome side profile, Tang Xiaofei sighed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being late for the first date made her feel really embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somewhat awkwardly, she approached Ye Chen: “I’m really sorry, I’m late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt just like being late to class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen looked up, couldn’t help but smile at Tang Xiaofei’s expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Ye Chen wasn’t angry at all; girls are always so much hassle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the house can mean putting on makeup and trying on clothes, so being late is no big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen remembered how his ex-girlfriend would always act as if being late was justified, Tang Xiaofei was really much better than those girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s okay, I just got here too. By the way, what would you like to drink, perhaps coffee?” Ye Chen said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, just a latte for me.” Tang Xiaofei replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen called for the waiter and started to order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the food arrived, consisting of small desserts and steaks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Tang Xiaofei’s attention was not on the food but rather fixed on Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those enchanting eyes that made Ye Chen feel a tingling warmth inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen laughed: “So, with all this delicious food, what are you doing staring at me so intently?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei said, “I think you’re getting more and more handsome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen lightly smiled, “Really? More handsome than your boyfriend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei blushed, “I don’t have a boyfriend yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Tang Xiaofei also wanted to ask if Ye Chen had a girlfriend, but the words caught in her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she feared she’d experience heartbreak just as she started to fall in love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While eating, they chatted about interesting school-time anecdotes, enjoying themselves a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ye Chen saw that they had nearly finished eating, he got up saying he needed to use the restroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Ye Chen said he was going to the restroom, he was actually going to pay the bill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, since Tang Xiaofei was a girl, Ye Chen couldn’t possibly have her pay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meal cost over a thousand yuan, not much for Ye Chen, but quite a fortune for a student like Tang Xiaofei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After settling the bill, Ye Chen headed back to his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he approached the table, he saw a man sitting across from Tang Xiaofei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was dressed in designer clothes, eyeing Tang Xiaofei greedily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to have drunk quite a bit and said to Tang Xiaofei, “Hey beautiful, let’s get to know each other, I’m Lei Ming, the CEO of Dahua Group.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he threw his Ferrari car key on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinarily, any girl seeing the car key would be taken in by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Tang Xiaofei was completely unimpressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She replied coldly, “Sir, please leave. My friend will be back any moment now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No worries, your friend’s bound to be a beauty too. I’ve got money to spare, I can afford you both. This place is too low-end; have you been to the Time Restaurant? It’s a Michelin three-star. How about I treat you to a fine meal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Ming was very confident since he was quite handsome and wealthy. He had seduced many girls with such methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon getting the girls to the restaurant, he’d order strong drinks, get them drunk, and then enjoy the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Ming had met countless women, but from the moment he laid eyes on Tang Xiaofei, he was captivated by this beauty who rated a solid 98.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This beauty was far more pure and attractive than anyone he had previously dated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was determined to win her over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Tang Xiaofei said coldly, “Sir, please have some respect. If you don’t leave, I’ll call security.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1268,"2026-06-03T08:12:36.329Z","2026-06-03T08:12:40.945Z",1,"novelbin.me","271bf120d4643825e1f98a5079e45a1bb1255be12237fb719bc998cff0882f12","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-424","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-422",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
