But with Chairman Zhang stuck abroad, he had to bite the bullet and attend the meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time everyone had met Ye Chen, and naturally, there was a flurry of flattery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've long heard that Chairman Ye is young and promising, and meeting you today truly lives up to your reputation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We should really learn from Chairman Ye, already owning the entire Group and still working hard delivering packages.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen's attire, everyone could guess what he was currently working on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't say that, everyone. I'm delivering packages just to experience life, and it's because of you that I can focus on this experience,\" Ye Chen replied with equally perfunctory words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ye Chen speak like this, someone even twitched a corner of their mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Refusing to be the chairman of the Group just to deliver packages, it's really hard to understand the thinking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after all, that was Ye Chen's business; their main task was to manage the Group well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chairman Ye, you're overrating us. It's what we should do, and it's our honor to serve the Group,\" Kang Hua said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was the oldest on the board, so he made a statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction. On the way here, through Song Yang's introduction, he learned that Kang Zhen was Kang Hua's son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The father and son were really different; the father was humble and courteous, while the son was arrogant and proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, since Chairman Zhang is abroad on business and can't return, I'll chair the meeting today. Let's discuss the future development of the Group,\" Ye Chen said straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started to express their thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man in a suit walked out of the Marriott Mansion; it was Kang Hua's assistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying a few words to the security guard, the assistant had the electric gate opened to let Kang Zhen's car in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After parking his car, Kang Zhen walked over angrily and looked at the guard, saying, \"Just wait. In a moment, I'll have my father fire you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard was so frightened that he shivered, feeling a bit wronged. If being diligent led to being fired, it was discouraging enough not to work here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master Kang, please follow me,\" the assistant said respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kang Zhen followed the assistant inside, strutting along while employees greeted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although nobody knew Kang Zhen, they all recognized the assistant and knew the young man behind him was someone special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where's my dad?\" Kang Zhen asked the assistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master Kang, Manager Kang is in a meeting. Please wait in the lounge, and I'll call you when the meeting is over,\" the assistant said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kang Zhen nodded and followed the assistant into the lounge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master Kang, I have to go back to work, so I'll excuse myself first,\" the assistant said and left the lounge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing who had come in, Liu Tian looked surprised, \"Kang Zhen, why did you follow me here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Liu, I told you, any woman I fancy, I must win her over,\" Kang Zhen said, leering at Liu Tian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shameless,\" Liu Tian's face turned a bit dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kang Zhen smiled and said, \"Miss Liu, you're even more charming when you're angry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Tian ignored him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kang Zhen said with a teasing tone, \"Miss Liu, I advise you to think carefully, that young man is just a driver while my father is a member of the Group's board. You should know the difference. Do you really plan to spend your life with that pauper?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Liu, I advise you not to be naive. Love can't feed you; you should recognize reality and not live in a fairy tale.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kang Zhen, will you stop it already? I've told you I don't like you, so why do I have to put up with you? Besides, who I like or who I'm with has nothing to do with you, right?\" Liu Tian said, unable to tolerate it any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, since you won't heed the easy way, don't blame me for being rude. You like that guy, right? I'll have my dad fire him. With only a job delivering packages, let's see how you'll live,\" Kang Zhen said with a mocking face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He originally thought that since he had said this much, Liu Tian would certainly beg him, and then he could make any unreasonable demands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to his disappointment, Liu Tian just looked at him as if he were an idiot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kang Zhen's anger flared up even more, and he thought to himself, \"Fine, just wait. Soon you'll be kneeling on the ground begging me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The discussion in the meeting room was intense. Although everyone's thoughts differed, Ye Chen could see that they were all sincerely strategizing for the Group's future betterment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked the time; the discussion had lasted two hours. Ye Chen smiled and said, \"Let's take a break and have some afternoon tea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen wasn't a workaholic; he believed everything should be done with rhythm and balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the discussion had already been so long, why not relax a bit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Ye Chen's lead, everyone walked out of the meeting room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the lounge and meeting room are on the same floor, upon hearing movement in the hallway, Kang Zhen knew the meeting was over and hurried there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Zhen, why are you here?\" Kang Hua looked at his son and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kang Zhen ignored his father and looked at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression, wondering why this guy was attending the board meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he saw Song Yang, he figured it out: the meeting was over, and this guy needed to drive Song Yang back to the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, this guy did personal work as a hotel attendant, insulted me, and even stole my girlfriend,\" Kang Zhen said in one breath, pointing at Ye Chen without thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Kang Zhen looked at Ye Chen with a mocking face and said, \"Kid, now you know fear, right? I told you, the poor only get bullied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see a fearful expression on Ye Chen's face, but to his disappointment, the young man in front of him looked at him with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slap!\" A loud slap resounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kang Zhen was seeing stars from the unexpected slap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He covered his reddening cheek and looked incredulously at his father. His father had never hit him before, and yet today, he slapped him in front of everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, why did you hit me?\" Kang Zhen looked at his father, unconvinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kang Hua, full of rage, said, \"Apologize to Chairman Ye immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I'm the victim here. Why should I apologize to someone of lower status?\" Kang Zhen roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought, as the son of a board member of the Group, why should he apologize to a mere attendant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flowing full free new book: \"City: Starting with 999 Mansions as a Reward,\" has been released.
