He didn’t listen to Zhang Nan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided that today he would settle both new and old scores with Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teng Xiang sneered, \"Ye Chen, look at the expensive ones, don’t bother with those watches costing only tens of thousands. Besides, I know the owner here; I can get you some discounts or if you fancy one, let me know. I don’t mind buying it for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words were filled with disdain for Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, Teng Xiang didn’t forget to show off his million-dollar Patek watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Teng Xiang’s mind, the watch on his wrist was already great, and he could brag about it when he showed it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bringing Zhang Nan today was just to broaden her horizons. If this woman would agree to his demands, he’d decide to spend hundreds of thousands to buy her one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The salesgirl’s eyes lit up again when she saw the Patek on Teng Xiang’s wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those not mingling in the fashion world could only tell that Ye Chen’s clothes were from the Armani brand, totally unable to determine the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Teng Xiang’s Patek was well-known, making Teng Xiang seem more luxurious compared to Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luckily I didn’t serve that gentleman; this one is the sugar daddy,\" a group of salespersons, upon seeing Teng Xiang, left Ye Chen’s side, scrambling to Teng Xiang’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teng Xiang immensely enjoyed being regarded as a VIP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laughed heartily, \"Ha-ha, see that? That’s the treatment of the rich versus pretending to be rich. In the face of real power, you’re simply insignificant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen paid no attention to Teng Xiang, heading inside with a nonchalant face. He most disliked entering a store with a group of people swarming around, chattering incessantly about introductions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, every watch has a price tag. He had eyes to see; if he wanted to know about the watches’ characteristics, wouldn’t he consult a salesperson?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, those like Teng Xiang, who have some money but aren’t particularly wealthy, love this feeling of being flattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen shook his head, feeling sorry for Teng Xiang. So many years had passed, and this guy was still the same, not progressing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing himself ignored again, Teng Xiang’s expression turned somewhat displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, showing off and taunting Ye Chen in front of him had caused him no harm at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it made him seem foolish, talking to himself here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teng Xiang, didn’t you say you’d buy me a watch? Let’s take a look.\" Zhang Nan encouraged again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen walk in, Teng Xiang followed. He wanted to expose Ye Chen’s true face and then taunt him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because, in his heart, Teng Xiang didn’t believe Ye Chen could afford the watches here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being a boy toy financed by someone and still trying to act rich, how laughable.\" Teng Xiang sneered dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world-class luxury brand store, the outer hall displays series under a million, while the inner hall has watches above a million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen heading to the inner hall, Teng Xiang thought to himself, \"Kid, once you see the prices, don’t let them scare you to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, in the outer hall, Ye Chen glanced around but didn’t find anything he liked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet once inside the inner hall, Ye Chen’s face showed satisfaction. With watches, the more expensive they were, the more high-end they appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said to the salesperson, \"This one, this one, and this one, take them out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at all the watches with styles that suited his aesthetic, totaling six watches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The salesgirl frowned, as generally, people look at one or two, compare, and then choose one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Ye Chen named six in one go, evidently on a whim not planning to buy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously she had encountered such guests, trying them all and buying none, just for fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even lamented internally, \"How unlucky, running into such a customer, totally wasting her time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though thinking this way internally, she didn’t express it on her face, as the customer is always king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teng Xiang and the other salespersons, entering the inner hall together, saw Ye Chen naming so many watches when each was over a million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the scene before him, Teng Xiang was astonished, \"Damn, what’s this kid doing, having the salesgirl take out so many watches.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doesn’t he know the price of these watches? Or does he think they’re free to take!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Teng Xiang even doubted Ye Chen hadn’t looked at the watches’ prices, simply directing her to take out the ones he liked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, he plans to see Ye Chen’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teng Xiang walked over to Ye Chen, pretending to remind him, \"Ye Chen, what are you randomly taking here? Do you know the prices of these watches?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you break one, even selling yourself couldn’t pay for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen’s action also alerted the store manager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the watches Ye Chen named, combined, were over tens of millions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the store, there were customers like Ye Chen, but they were in the minority, and these were VIPs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These few, still don’t really meet my requirements; please set them aside. Do you have other series?\" Ye Chen said to the salesgirl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The salesgirl had already expected such behavior from Ye Chen, further affirming her previous thoughts internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a face full of taunt, the salesgirl said to Ye Chen, \"We do, but the prices are a bit high, might be hard for you to accept.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words were very tactful, fearing to hurt a man’s self-esteem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you know I can’t accept it?\" Ye Chen retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teng Xiang, watching the comedy from the side, taunted, \"Enough, Ye Chen. Stop making it hard for the salesgirl. I think you better look at the outer hall ones under a million; I believe those suit you better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though, I think you can’t afford the ones in the outer hall either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The salesgirl also found Teng Xiang’s words very reasonable, discussing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I almost got fooled by his dress; turns out he’s a poor guy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just don’t waste our time if you’re broke.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good thing I didn’t serve him; otherwise, I’d cry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Xiaomei had it bad again, always meeting these kinds of guests?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaomei, if I were you, I’d ignore such customers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other salespersons were also advising the salesgirl named Xiaomei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Xiaomei’s heart was quite conflicted, the customer had requested; how could she not comply?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, sir, please wait.\" Xiaomei said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took out a safe-like box from the counter, entered the password on it, and unlocked it with a snap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From inside, she took out a delicate box, opened it with a key, revealing a watch adorned with emeralds.\u003C\u002Fp>",1133,"2026-06-03T08:12:58.226Z","2026-06-03T08:13:01.728Z",1,"novelbin.me","4fd1569800e0fbfdddbbdb19bcbb14a597553019b224f5d33aaa6ed4fba8c98e","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-916","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-914",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
