Seeing you after waking up, only happiness remains.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Dong sighed, “Sigh, Ye Chen, I’m really heartbroken. All these years, I’ve given so much and haven’t even held her hand, yet they’ve already slept together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen patted Li Dong’s shoulder, “Kid, you’re too naive. You think all girls are goddesses, but the so-called goddesses you see are often just cleverly packaged.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Dong took a sip of his drink, “Never mind, maybe I’m just too foolish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at his foolish brother, Ye Chen patted his shoulder, “Never mind, a blessing in disguise, this might not be a bad thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a notification from Ye Chen’s group chat suddenly arrived on his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group chat was the company’s QQ group, which Ye Chen didn’t usually pay attention to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out Zhang Qiang sent a red envelope, “Thank you for your blessings, everyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen opened the red envelope, only to find twenty yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qiang’s act, Ye Chen understood, was purely to show off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But twenty yuan to show off was too stingy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Ye Chen immediately sent a message in the group, “Scumbag paired with a manipulative girl, a match made in heaven.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending that, Ye Chen boldly sent out a twelve thousand yuan red envelope, divided into sixty portions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the group could receive a two hundred yuan red envelope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previously silent group suddenly became lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people who usually lurked in the company group chat suddenly began to chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Busy with work?

I just haven’t seen everyone in a while and wanted to send a red envelope. It’s unrelated to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qiang: “What do you mean unrelated? You’re clearly scolding me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen: “Scolding you? I just sent a red envelope, and there are people eager to acknowledge it. Interesting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qiang: “You…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The classmates in the group found it amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Dong had pursued Song Lifei for several years, only for Zhang Qiang to snatch her away, and everyone in the company felt it was unfair for Li Dong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that they even publicly announced their relationship was truly excessive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Zhang Qiang’s twenty yuan red envelope, Ye Chen’s twelve thousand yuan red envelope was too generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, all the colleagues uniformly supported Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qiang gritted his teeth and directly kicked Ye Chen out of the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Dong had been silent all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was deeply moved by Ye Chen’s actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Li Dong saw Zhang Qiang kick Ye Chen out of the group, he was not happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhang Qiang, we’re all colleagues, why did you kick Ye Chen out of the group?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, it’s too much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you get the manager’s approval to kick someone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, everyone had just received Ye Chen’s red envelope, which quickly sparked everyone’s anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qiang was also taken aback, so he kicked out a few more people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Yu Mengyang was one of the few who knew Ye Chen’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During a meal, he discovered that Ye Chen now had a significant status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhang Qiang kick Ye Chen out of the group, he didn’t dare neglect it and quickly added Ye Chen back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon rejoining the group, Ye Chen sent another large red envelope, “If you have the guts, keep kicking!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qiang’s face turned red with anger, intending to kick Ye Chen again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he frustratingly discovered that his permissions had been revoked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other classmates continued to receive the red envelope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group chat was abuzz with activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you have the guts, keep kicking!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you have the guts, keep kicking!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you have the guts, keep kicking!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qiang was on the verge of losing it, but there was nothing he could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Yu Mengyang even issued a warning, “Mr. Ye is not someone you can afford to mess with.
