Let’s do this, line up, and if you really have difficulties, I’ll lend you the money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Ye Chen would really lend them money, these relatives became excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After lining up, Ye Chen said, \"Borrowing money is fine, debts must be repaid, borrowing money is possible, but you have to sign an IOU.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen is not stupid; will these people pay back the borrowed money? Certainly not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Ye Chen isn’t short on money, he doesn’t want to be disgusted by these people either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He worked hard for his money, why should he give it to them for free?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, they even used such despicable methods to threaten his parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that Ye Chen wants an IOU, these relatives weren’t happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Chen, what do you mean by this, are you afraid we won’t pay it back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, we’re all relatives, is this necessary?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen, however, was assertive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None of your words matter; debts must be repaid, it’s a matter of course. You’re relatives with my parents, many of you I don’t even know. Since you’re borrowing money from me, considering my parents, it’s already a favor that I’m willing to lend you. Without an IOU, don’t think of borrowing even a penny from me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ye Chen’s words, the relatives had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, these people came up with a plan. What if there’s an IOU? If they don’t repay it, what can he do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded and directly sat at the table, saying, \"Alright, come one by one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, a middle-aged man in patched-up clothes squeezed out, \"Dear nephew, I’ll borrow money first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen glanced, this relative indeed looked pitiful, with clothes full of patches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, upon checking his background, Ye Chen sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This relative’s family condition is very good, they travel abroad with their boss every year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Short of money? Definitely not, but who wouldn’t take free money?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said, \"Okay, you go first, tell me your reason for borrowing money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My boss is seriously ill and needs medical treatment, twenty or fifty thousand is needed.\" The middle-aged relative nervously held up five fingers, looking at Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded, \"Oh, okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ye Chen’s words, the middle-aged man was pleasantly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen directly pulled up this relative’s information and then wrote on paper: \"Ye Mingyu, owning a two-bedroom apartment in Pudong East Road Garden District, as collateral, borrowing 500,000 from Ye Chen... then wrote the date.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man was stunned; he didn’t expect Ye Chen to know his situation so well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled faintly, \"Sign and seal, and I’ll transfer the money to you immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Mingyu glanced at the IOU but scoffed internally, thinking, ’Even if I don’t repay, can you really sell my house?’ With this thought, he signed his name readily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Ye Chen transferred the money directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen’s generosity, other relatives also started writing IOUs one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reasons for borrowing money were varied, children’s schooling, buying a house for kids, elderly getting sick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink, more than ten relatives borrowed over 5 million from Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They obviously regarded Ye Chen as a cash machine, borrowing larger and larger amounts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the relatives who first borrowed money even secretly regretted not asking for more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they asked for a loan and wrote an IOU, Ye Chen agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dozen or so relatives left satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, Little Chen is so generous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Chen really rescued us from our urgent needs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen’s lips slightly curled up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the sound of brakes came from outside the door, followed by a bald man leading a group of thugs entering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing these people arrive, the relatives’ faces changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This group was adorned with dragons and phoenixes; some relatives even recognized this man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than the notorious Brother Leopard from Modu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Leopard looked at Ye Chen with a fawning expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Chen, what instructions do you have for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen handed a stack of IOUs to Brother Leopard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, these are the IOUs from my relatives borrowing money from me. They all have repayment dates. Help me collect the money when the time comes. I don’t have any other requirements; you can waive the interest, but I want every penny of the borrowed money back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ye Chen’s words, the relatives’ faces suddenly turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew very well what kind of person Brother Leopard was; these people specialized in debt collecting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the money wasn’t repaid, they would splash paint, bang on doors at night, or even resort to threats – they were capable of anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments ago, the people who were all excited now had their faces turn desolate.\u003C\u002Fp>",1332,"2026-06-03T08:12:36.329Z","2026-06-03T08:12:40.945Z",1,"novelbin.me","4e97bc4ee3ab342408cf8900dacb9e3960e068079ddbc5120bc278ed31840e0c","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-456","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-454",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
