Actually, his status has changed; he was once the most distinguished guest here, and now he is a major shareholder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all this time, the money he spent on rewards can actually be earned back, and he still puts on airs. This feeling is so damn satisfying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue has already realized that Ye Chen’s status must be extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it’s his demeanor or his mannerisms, they exude a quality that ordinary people do not possess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one could make connections with Ye Chen, the benefits would be significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Ye, we’ve already booked a presidential suite for you. You might have to endure it for a bit, so why don’t you go there to rest first? I’ll take you to register,” Su Xue said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Su Xue’s words, many people on site almost cried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A presidential suite, and you call that enduring? Why don’t you just go to heaven?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded with a smile, since Su Xue was being very courteous to him. He gave the car keys to the attendant, asked them to park the car, and followed Su Xue for registration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue carefully attended to Ye Chen by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Su Xue always felt an inexplicable pressure when standing beside Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when with the chairman, she never felt this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After registering, Ye Chen found a sofa in the lobby to sit and rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue stood somewhat cautiously beside Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled and said, “Why is President Su being so reserved? Please sit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue nodded and sat down, but maintained a leaning posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She completely resembled a subordinate in front of a leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Ye, I didn’t expect our Douyu Live Stream’s hottest stream star to be so charmingly young,” Su Xue complimented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue was the first to break the awkward atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen replied with a smile, “President Su is too kind. Does this annual meeting have any program schedule?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Ye Chen didn’t plan to attend, but he heard Su Xiaomei was returning, so he came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he hadn’t seen Su Xiaomei in a long time and also wanted to give her a surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our schedule starts with speeches from leaders, followed by performances, and ends with a banquet,” Su Xue explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All of Douyu’s executives will be here. You are our honored guest and will be sitting with them,” Su Xue said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh.” Ye Chen nodded, indicating he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen asked, “Are you the person in charge of this annual meeting?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I’m the one responsible for the organization and planning of this annual meeting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Was that woman at the entrance Tickle Your Heart? Wasn’t she banned? How come she’s here again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue smiled ruefully: “She seemed to have gone to Korea for plastic surgery and changed her account again. I heard she’s become popular once more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Mr. Ye, how did you recognize her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled: “Her appearance can change, but one’s demeanor stays constant. With one look, you can tell she’s just a cheap little chick.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue nodded; “Mr. Ye has eyes of golden flame.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled slightly: “If I’m not mistaken, her comeback is due to some backing above, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was originally a company scandal, and Ye Chen exposed it with one sentence, leaving Su Xue quite embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue said, “Actually, according to the rules, she shouldn’t be able to come back, but I’ve heard she has someone backing her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, so that’s how it is.” Ye Chen had actually guessed it; the other side definitely had some sort of path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue naturally knew who was backing her; it was Douyu’s Vice President Lü Meng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Meng, despite being the company’s vice president, was notorious within the circle for bad morals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exploited female Internet celebrities and took bribes, gathering lots of complaints from others in the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he was after all a Douyu veteran, thus no one could shake his position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen glanced around but couldn’t find Su Xiaomei in the crowd, so he called her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiaomei, didn’t you say you would attend the Douyu Live Stream annual meeting?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, I was negotiating a contract with a Douyu executive named Lü Meng and almost lost my temper. He even hinted at exploiting me, and since I didn’t agree, he downgraded my contract.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ye Chen listened, his brow furrowed: “Such a thing actually happens?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing beside him, Su Xue also overheard Ye Chen’s conversation with Su Xiaomei, her face subtly changing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Ye Chen and Su Xiaomei seemed to have a close relationship, it seemed the other party wouldn’t let this slide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue had already made up her mind to quickly find the leadership.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Ye Chen’s status was definitely not ordinary, and it would be a loss not worth gaining if such a big investor was offended because of a streamer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Lü Meng, what a bastard, this time he’s really stirred a hornet’s nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said, “Don’t worry, leave this matter to me. I won’t let you be wronged. By the way, did you sign the contract?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, why should I? Obviously, they’re bullying people. But now I’m also in a dilemma; although there’s still Maoya Live Stream, that platform tends to focus more on gaming, which doesn’t suit my style at all. Sigh, it seems my streaming career is at a dead end.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled slightly: “Don’t worry, with me around, no one can bully you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiaomei said, “That’s what you said, no lying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen laughed as he responded: “When have I ever lied to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up the call, Ye Chen, feeling a bit cold, said to Su Xue: “Introduce your vice president Lü Meng to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue was somewhat uneasy. Ye Chen’s expression clearly indicated he wouldn’t just let this slide, and now that he’s asking about Lü Meng, Su Xue was indeed a bit troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Su Xue sighed and said, “Lü Meng is one of our vice presidents, responsible for company operations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I’m not mistaken, he’s the backer behind Tickle Your Heart, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue was momentarily stunned, looking at Ye Chen in shock: “You know all about this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she quickly realized her slip of tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Su Xue had no choice. She hadn’t expected Ye Chen would directly know about the backing of Tickle Your Heart being Lü Meng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen just chuckled: “The two have similar tastes, anyone could guess.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Su Xue’s troubled look, Ye Chen smiled softly: “Don’t worry, I won’t make it difficult for you. I won’t mention this matter to anyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, Su Xiaomei mentioned that there were only ten slots for S-Class contracts, and she got replaced by Tickle Your Heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Ye Chen could easily guess the story behind the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But considering Su Xue was merely hosting him, there was no need to drag her into this muddy water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue breathed a sigh of relief and said: “Thank you very much, Mr. Ye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Su Xue felt increasingly respectful towards Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he’s a scion of a wealthy family, every move exudes a noble air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue mentally shook her head, it seemed this time Lü Meng had hit a hard rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Lü Meng had done a lot of sleazy things in the company, yet nobody could deal with him, but this time he had provoked Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xue always had the feeling that Lü Meng was going to have a bad time.\u003C\u002Fp>",1300,"2026-06-03T08:12:53.930Z","2026-06-03T08:12:52.593Z",1,"novelbin.me","48ab6e2e8b168a7d19eb09ed2fff2a63f96edfe52fca53f1db360dfb8f6f6f20","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-595","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-593",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
