You can leave after you eat.” Lin Wanrou also got up and dressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need, you sleep a bit more.” With that, Ye Chen kissed her on the forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wanrou obediently nodded and climbed back into the warm covers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After washing up, Ye Chen drove the Cullinan to the courier station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to pick up the parcels at the courier point every day before delivering them door to door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Ye Chen walked into the courier company, he heard scolding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You pigbrain, you delivered to the wrong place again, what do you think you’re doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man, looking all high and mighty, pointed at a short, somewhat plump young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man didn’t dare say a word, just kept nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the others around were also silent, all with their heads down as if they had made a mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing this, Ye Chen was very angry, even though he didn’t know this young man, seeing the manager berate the employee like that, he certainly couldn’t just stand by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Couriers are people too, they have dignity. Do you have to berate someone so shamelessly?” Ye Chen said angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Zhang hadn’t noticed Ye Chen’s presence just now, because he looked down on these people from the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the handsome young man before him, Manager Zhang coldly said, “Who do you think you are, daring to meddle in my affairs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The couriers who had their heads down and said nothing thought that the young man’s arrogant words meant Ye Chen was a leader, finally someone was speaking for them, but when they heard Ye Chen’s reply, they were all dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, I’m a courier.” Ye Chen replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom, everyone knew that this courier named Ye Chen would definitely meet a miserable fate, or even lose his job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe this kid just wanted to have a moment’s thrill, but the manager’s anger was something he couldn’t bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? New here, huh? What’s your name, why haven’t I seen you before?” Manager Zhang said with a mocking face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t actually care about the young man’s name, he just wanted an excuse to drive Ye Chen out of the courier company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled and said, “Yeah, my name is Ye Chen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this name, Manager Zhang’s expression turned even more unpleasant; yesterday he received a complaint from a lady, apparently about this Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, Ye Chen, you got a complaint on your first day at work yesterday, I think you’re not suited to be a courier at all,” Manager Zhang said with an angry face, but his heart was filled with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like he didn’t even need to find faults, they were laid right before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Manager Zhang’s words, everyone looked at the handsome young man with pity, knowing Manager Zhang was a vengeful person, and Ye Chen had just stood up to him, surely he would lose the job next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That woman was unreasonable, I think I did nothing wrong.” Ye Chen said without a trace of panic, calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You still dare to talk back? Working in the service industry, you should understand that the customer is always right.” Manager Zhang said angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, so whatever the customer says goes, right? Don’t you have a brain?” Ye Chen retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… you are just a courier, and yet you dare to contradict a leader. I will definitely fire you.” Manager Zhang was so angry he started stuttering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since becoming a manager, no employee had ever dared to contradict him; encountering Ye Chen repeatedly disrespecting him today naturally made him enraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re the manager, so what? What’s the difference between us?” With that, he looked at the other couriers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one chimed in with him; Ye Chen felt a bit helpless, it was these timid attitudes that let Manager Zhang be so arrogant, treating them like they were not even people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was the boss of this company, he must change this unhealthy culture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing no one paid attention to Ye Chen, Manager Zhang sneered, “Kid, see that? Don’t just boast for a moment, they are sensible people, it’s unlikely they would stand by your side.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen ignored him, standing still in contemplation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Zhang thought he was scared, and with a mocking expression he said, “Kid, if you kneel down to me and admit your mistake, I might show you mercy and let it slide.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, why are you so stubborn, it’s so hard to find a job now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, a wise man doesn’t fight when the odds are against him, just admit a mistake and it’s over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was trying to persuade Ye Chen to give in, after all, a leg can’t twist a thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen was obviously different from them, he delivered parcels not to make a living but for the system rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were back in the days when he had no money, Ye Chen wouldn’t admit a mistake either, as he was rather straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While everyone was waiting for Ye Chen to admit his mistake, at that moment a security guard rushed in from outside, panting, “Manager Zhang, the head office just called saying the new boss is arriving today, but a luxury car parked at the entrance is a bit obstructive, maybe you should contact the owner to move the car.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, contact them then, and ask the owner to move the car quickly.” Manager Zhang’s expression was a bit tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had heard the new boss was coming, but hadn’t expected it so soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the arrival of the new boss, there would definitely be personnel changes; he had originally planned to smooth things over, but didn’t expect it to happen so soon. However, he thought he should perform well later, and there shouldn’t be any problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you talking about the Cullinan?” Ye Chen looked at the security guard and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security guard didn’t know what a Cullinan was, just kept saying, “It’s a luxury car.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to call, I’ll go move the car now,” Ye Chen said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, have you gone mad for money? What right do you have to drive such a luxury car?” The ridicule on Manager Zhang’s face deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as a company manager, he hadn’t driven such a luxury car, how could Ye Chen, a courier, drive it? The thought itself was an enormous joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security guard understood Manager Zhang’s implication and hurriedly took out his phone to call the car owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a phone’s ringtone echoed in the hall, and everyone was surprised as their eyes turned to Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>",1290,"2026-06-03T08:12:54.010Z","2026-06-03T08:12:59.083Z",1,"novelbin.me","7ecb95a7841a50a878bf2adbfac5cfb6cab852cf5a5599dade995ac1173c0d2b","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-694","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-692",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
