Mainly because you keep getting prettier, it's normal not to recognize you, right?\" Ye Chen hurriedly found an excuse to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sentence worked wonders for Su Qing; a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Ye Chen is praising her beauty, which surely means Ye Chen likes her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Chen, can you accompany me to the orphanage tomorrow? I really miss that place.\" Su Qing blinked at Ye Chen, looking at him pleadingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was afraid of being rejected by Ye Chen, her small hands picking at her nails, shyly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, no problem, we'll go together tomorrow morning.\" Ye Chen said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qing didn't expect Ye Chen would agree so readily; she initially thought she'd have to convince him a bit to get him to accompany her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's great, I'm so happy, so happy, Ye Chen and I can reminisce about childhood again.\" Su Qing said excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Su Qing behave like a little girl, Ye Chen found it amusing at heart. If the employees at the Yida Group saw Su Qing like this, they would certainly laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Yida Group was filled with men, and she had to maintain a strong woman image dealing with them every day, rarely showing a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ye Chen and Su Qing finished eating, they chatted for a while and realized it was late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They decided to go home and rest. Though Su Qing was driving, Ye Chen felt it was not right to let a girl drive him home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he drove Su Qing home first and then took a taxi home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waking up in the morning, he checked the clock and found it was already past eight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen glanced at the phone on the table and saw two missed calls from Su Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought to himself, this girl, why is she calling so early?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While thinking about it, Ye Chen's phone rang again, and it was no surprise Su Qing calling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Answering the call, Ye Chen asked, \"Xiaoqing, why are you calling me so early?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Chen, did you forget you promised to accompany me to the orphanage?\" Su Qing hurriedly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon being reminded by this girl, Ye Chen remembered indeed he had promised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I originally wanted to let you sleep a bit more, but your call came first.\" Ye Chen made an excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, he had indeed forgotten; telling the truth would certainly hurt the girl's feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then, I'm already awake, you can come over to pick me up now.\" Su Qing said unceremoniously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen didn't expect Su Qing to be so straightforward; considering their superior-subordinate relationship, she commanded him to specifically pick her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? You don't want to?\" Su Qing asked nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I want to; wait for me at home, I'll drive over soon.\" Ye Chen replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the sake of knowing Su Qing since childhood, he agreed to the girl's request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I'll wait for you at home.\" After finishing, Su Qing quickly hung up the phone, worried Ye Chen might change his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen went to the bathroom, finished freshening up, changed clothes, and drove off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qing put on an exquisite makeup, picked one dress after another, looking in the mirror repeatedly but always feeling unsatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cared a lot about this outing with Ye Chen, even though they were only visiting the orphanage, not a formal date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of the mirror, Su Qing was selecting a dress when her phone rang, glancing to see Ye Chen calling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoqing, come out, I'm downstairs at your place.\" Ye Chen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\" Su Qing casually grabbed a dress to put on, carried a Chanel bag, and slipped on high heels to leave the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen watched the panting girl walk out of the building and asked, \"Are you in a hurry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qing took a breath and said, \"I feared you'd be anxious waiting downstairs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She heard from her friends that men hate women dawdling, especially on the first date, so Su Qing wanted to leave a good impression on Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen chuckled and said, \"It's okay, men waiting for women is perfectly normal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then made a gentlemanly gesture in front of Su Qing, inviting her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qing got into the passenger seat, and Ye Chen drove toward the orphanage the girl once frequented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you had breakfast yet?\" Ye Chen suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I already ate.\" Su Qing lied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, her stomach betrayed her by growling, clearly indicating her lie to Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's grab some breakfast; I haven't eaten either,\" Ye Chen said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, why don't we eat at the breakfast shop near the orphanage?\" Su Qing quickly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen incredulously said, \"You don't like eating at small shops, do you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered once inviting Su Qing to have breakfast at a small shop on Pudong Road, but she was very resistant to it. Why was she now suddenly suggesting to eat at a small shop?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qing awkwardly said, \"Because there are beautiful memories between us there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the girl say this, Ye Chen suddenly realized she indeed had breakfast there before; he didn't think that this girl still remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let's go to Grandpa Li's shop to eat.\" Ye Chen said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, sure.\" Su Qing clapped her hands and said. She had such a wish too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't expect they'd think alike and went the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car drove for a while and arrived at the place Ye Chen used to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two parked by the roadside, walked in, and came to the familiar small shop, where an elderly man with slightly gray hair sat with a worried expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, it was breakfast time, yet the shop had only a few scattered guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Ye Chen's memory, the customers here were residents from nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qing held Ye Chen's arm as they entered the shop and greeted Grandpa Li, saying, \"Grandpa Li, I've come to eat here again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man smiled at Su Qing and said, \"Miss Qing, the shop will close tomorrow, so this is your last meal here, today your meal is on me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qing hurriedly asked, \"Grandpa Li, do you have something going on at home, to close down the shop?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At my age, what could happen? The main thing is this area is about to be redeveloped; I can't continue running the shop here afterward.\" Grandpa Li said with reluctance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Redevelopment?\" Ye Chen asked puzzledly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His old house was here, but he hadn't heard any news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, including the orphanage, this whole area will be redeveloped,\" the old man sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked at Su Qing, smiling and said, \"Miss Qing, this handsome young man must be your boyfriend, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qing instantly blushed like a ripe apple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly shook her head and said, \"Grandpa Li, take a closer look at this person. Don't you find him a bit familiar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1174,"2026-06-03T08:12:57.084Z","2026-06-03T08:13:00.904Z",1,"novelbin.me","38f37a7006043241d0d3b3860d97cccf6c9d4a778a66f40194718e3a8e8098c4","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-878","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-876",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
