Just as he was about to sit down, he heard the click-clack of high heels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wanrou changed into slippers from the shoe cabinet and headed straight to the dining room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Wanrou’s slightly tired yet pretty face, Ye Chen felt a pang of heartache: “Wanrou, you’ve worked hard, you haven’t had dinner yet, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, as soon as I stepped into the house, I smelled the aroma of noodle soup, and it really whet my appetite,” Lin Wanrou said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go change your clothes and wash your hands, I’ll serve it up for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lin Wanrou changed her clothes and returned to the dining room, water almost dripped from her mouth when she saw the noodle soup on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She picked up the chopsticks, plucked a strand of noodle, and put it in her mouth, savoring it slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, she acted all ladylike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But towards the end, she couldn’t care less, and soon she slurped down a whole bowl of soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wanrou handed the bowl to Ye Chen and said, “Master, that was delicious, I want more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helplessly, Ye Chen put all the noodles from the pot into her bowl while he just drank a little soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Ye Chen, who had cooking skills, even simple noodle soup tasted like it was made by a top chef from a Five Stars hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wanrou polished off the noodles and soup, not leaving a drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn’t help but laugh. The beautiful women he knew always changed their demeanor when faced with good food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Ye Chen could say anything, Lin Wanrou pouted and said, “Master, you’re so bad, I originally planned not to eat dinner, but I couldn’t resist the temptation of good food, now I’m definitely going to gain weight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen felt a bit helpless inside; he only drank the soup, but he was still hungry, and this girl was getting away with it while playing coy. It was truly annoying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided he would properly deal with this woman later that night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After showering, Ye Chen helped Lin Wanrou dry her hair, then they spent a tumultuous night together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when the alarm went off, Lin Wanrou didn’t wake up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen drove to the delivery point, and only Manager Zhang Dafu was there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, you’re riding around in a luxury car, so wealthy, yet you work so hard. How can people like us measure up? Look at those little rascals—they’re not even here yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen didn’t respond but loaded today’s deliveries onto the electric tricycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Zhang Dafu to say anything else, he was already riding away, humming a tune, starting another day of delivering packages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at a place called Round and Fat Beverage Shop, Ye Chen parked his bike at the entrance, went in, and asked, “Hello, is Miss Liu here? There is a package for her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a woman wearing the Round and Fat uniform said, “Hello, it’s me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen followed the voice and saw a girl in her twenties, with a bob hairstyle, wearing a clean and tidy work uniform, cleaning the store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, please sign for it, and if you’re satisfied, remember to give a good review.” Ye Chen handed the package to the girl with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing the girl sign for it, Ye Chen turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, wait a minute,” the girl’s voice suddenly called out from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen thought there might be an issue with the package and turned back to ask, “Is there a problem with the package?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, no.” The girl replied, then walked over to the counter and handed a cup of iced drink to Ye Chen, sweetly saying, “It’s for you, the weather is hot, don’t get heatstroke.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the drink offered by the girl, Ye Chen was momentarily stunned, then felt a warmth in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During these days of delivering packages, he met all sorts of people, most of whom looked at delivery boys with tinted glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this girl in front of him was completely different from those people, which made Ye Chen feel warm inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen took the drink and said, “Thank you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take care on the road, and if you like, you can come by often.” The girl stood at the door and saw Ye Chen off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she returned inside to continue her work, feeling extra cheerful today, having met such a handsome delivery boy right after opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen rode through the streets and alleys, delivering packages to each customer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beep beep beep,” his phone rang, but riding made it inconvenient for Ye Chen to answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the ringing wouldn’t stop, it kept going, so Ye Chen had to pull over, glance at the caller ID—it’s Grandma Zhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen called back, and after a few rings, the phone connected, “Grandma Zhang, do you need something?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Chen, I haven’t seen you for so many days. I just missed you and wanted to chat. Are you busy now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, Grandma Zhang, besides that, do you have any other matters?” Ye Chen didn’t answer but asked instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no. Am I interrupting your work?” Grandma Zhang asked kindly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said, “Grandma Zhang, I still have a few more deliveries. I’ll get in touch with you later, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, okay, you go on with your work, I won’t bother you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanging up, Grandma Zhang’s face showed a hint of disappointment, being home alone with no one to chat with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her daughter was busy with work and family and seldom visited. She thought of that kind-hearted delivery boy today and wanted to chat, but he had work and couldn’t spend time with an old lady like her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandma Zhang muttered to herself, “I guess so, even my daughter doesn’t pay attention to me, let alone an outsider.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing with Grandma Zhang’s call and hearing the old lady wanted to chat, Ye Chen hurriedly sped up to finish the deliveries on his tricycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even stop for lunch, and by the time he was done, it was already two in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a hungry stomach, Ye Chen rode his electric tricycle swiftly, parked it, and quickly ran upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this hour, the old lady had just woken up from her nap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Knock knock knock,” came the knocking from outside, followed by a young man’s voice, “Grandma Zhang, Grandma Zhang, it’s Little Chen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this voice, Grandma Zhang thought she was dreaming because she missed that young man so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she usually did, Grandma Zhang tidied up the bed and wheeled her chair to the kitchen to make some tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen knocked several times with no response, feeling a bit anxious, thinking something might have happened to Grandma Zhang.\u003C\u002Fp>",1276,"2026-06-03T08:12:54.395Z","2026-06-03T08:12:59.176Z",1,"novelbin.me","fbf809b96dda0e741fb9d988ed1d6113856518c89f6549ce77d3a97fd32615cb","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-729","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-768",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
