Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Zheng Zhen glanced at Ye Chen's outfit and said, "Bro, you're joking, right? Your whole outfit is designer, can a DiDi Brother afford these clothes?"

Ye Chen replied coldly, "Young Master Zheng, is this how you treat guests? We're guests here, and you're blocking the door as if you're interrogating criminals. What do you mean by this?"

Zheng Zhen was momentarily at a loss for words, his face turning red with anger.

However, because he wanted to pursue Lin Youyou, he kept a smile on his face despite his irritation.

You damn fake boyfriend driving a DiDi, pretending in front of me, so arrogant, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth.

Zheng Zhen's face turned cold as he said, "Youyou, I'm here to introduce you to some big shots, help you network a bit."

This time he had invited some heavyweight figures from Modu, believing that Lin Youyou would surely be impressed.

The Zheng Family is the dominant force in Kyoto supermarkets, but their business is primarily in North China.

Now they're looking to expand into the southern market, and because Zheng Zhen likes Lin Youyou, he volunteered to come to Modu.

As long as he secures the Modu market, the position of Patriarch would be his, and if something happens with Lin Youyou, that would be the icing on the cake.

The three of them walked into the private room, which was already full of people.

Ye Chen immediately saw two people, Chen Wan and Wei Ran.

Seeing Ye Chen, the two people's expressions changed slightly.

Just as they were about to stand up and greet him, Ye Chen shook his head to stop them.

Ye Chen was their boss, so the two of them, who were just looking proud, suddenly became humble.

With the King Bi here, they dared not show off.

Zheng Zhen didn't notice the exchange of looks between the three.

Upon entering the private room, Zheng Zhen hadn't expected Lin Youyou to bring someone, so there were only ten chairs.

He looked at Ye Chen with a fake smile and a teasing expression.

You have the nerve to come in here, you don't have a seat, let's see how long you dare to stay.

Zheng Zhen had Lin Youyou sit down and he also took a seat.

But then, Chen Wan and Wei Ran both stood up.

Zheng Zhen was feeling complacent but was suddenly baffled.

What was going on?

Chen Wan and Wei Ran were the most important guests at the table, so why were they standing up?

"Mr. Ye, please take my seat," Chen Wan said respectfully.

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Youyou, switch seats with President Wei and sit next to me."

Zheng Zhen couldn't have imagined that Wei Ran and Chen Wan would yield their seats to Ye Chen.

After all, these two were heavyweight figures in Modu, how could they possibly give a seat to a DiDi Brother?

Maybe, they didn't know Ye Chen's identity and misunderstood, Zheng Zhen thought wildly.

But soon he focused back on work.

After all, as long as he clinched a big deal in Modu, he could open up the southern market and potentially become the future Patriarch of the Zheng Family.

However, seeing Chen Wan and Wei Ran being so respectful to Ye Chen made Zheng Zhen somewhat uneasy.

Initially, when Ye Chen said he was a DiDi Brother, he really believed it.

But after seeing Chen Wan and Wei Ran's expressions upon seeing Ye Chen, he knew Ye Chen's identity wasn't so simple.

Moreover, Ye Chen didn't hesitate, sitting down immediately. Originally, Lin Youyou was beside him, but now, with Wei Ran and Chen Wan between them, he could only sit there angrily.

The waiter brought in two more chairs, and the two of them sat down.

Zheng Zhen smiled and poured a drink, standing up, "Everyone, I'm honored to have you all here, let me drink this first to show my respect."

"You're joking, Young Master Zheng. Being able to invite us is also an honor for us."

"Yes, thank you, Young Master Zheng."

Others stood up, except for Ye Chen, Chen Wan, Wei Ran, and Lin Youyou, who remained seated.

The atmosphere became a bit awkward.

Zheng Zhen felt something was off and said, "Alright, everyone please sit."

Previously, the few people lavishing praise on Zheng Zhen made him feel very pleased.

But Ye Chen, along with Wei Ran, Chen Wan, and Lin Youyou, ignored him, which infuriated him.

Actually, Chen Wan and Wei Ran had no choice.

Even though Zheng Zhen had some capability, Ye Chen was Wei Ran and Chen Wan's boss.

With one word, he could make them disappear.

So comparatively, offending Zheng Zhen wasn't much of a deal.

At this time, the dishes were brought out.

Zheng Zhen laughed, "Everyone, feel free, since it's already noon, let's eat and talk at the same time."

Everyone nodded, but nobody really reached for the dishes, as the main purpose was to discuss business.

However, Ye Chen said to the waiter, "Waiter, bring me two bowls of rice."

"Yes, Chairman Ye," the waiter nodded respectfully and quickly brought two bowls of rice.

After the rice arrived, Ye Chen smiled, "You guys go ahead chat, I'll eat my share, don't feel restrained because of me."

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Zheng Zhen was about to explode with anger.

"Who are you? Where did you come from? Acting as if you're the host here."

Ye Chen ignored everyone else and started eating heartily.

Seeing this, everyone looked a bit puzzled.

This really affected the atmosphere.

Lin Youyou naturally knew Ye Chen's character and held back her laughter.

Because of Ye Chen, everyone was somewhat restrained.

Zheng Zhen was speechless, wondering how thick-skinned this guy was, not realizing I was just being polite?

This guy, not even a bit reserved, just ate on his own.

Zheng Zhen took a deep breath to steady himself, saying, "Everyone, the reason I invited you here today is to discuss something. Our Zheng Group is the leader in the supermarket industry in the Imperial Capital, and this time we aim to enter the Modu market. All of you are top figures in sales, we hope the Zheng Family can earn some favor from you all."

Although Zheng Zhen's words seemed polite, it was clear he was using the Zheng Family to pressure others.

Everyone's expressions turned a bit unpleasant.

Zheng Zhen, however, continued without concern, "We want to enter your malls, and money is not an issue. To ensure your interests, our Zheng Group is willing to sign for ten years straight."

"Ten years?" Everyone frowned upon hearing this.

On the surface, Zheng Zhen appeared generous, but in fact, he was clearly taking advantage.

Everyone knew the rent increased yearly, but by signing for ten years, the rent would remain the same.

Bluntly put, this was clearly deceit.

Zheng Zhen seemed to understand their concerns and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Zheng Family has never mistreated anyone in business, I'm merely expressing my thoughts here, and everything else can be negotiated."

Several others expressed their acceptable terms, ranging from two to five years.

Only Wei Ran and Chen Wan didn't say a word.

After all, with the boss present, it wasn't their place to speak.

Ye Chen said while eating, "You two don't look at me, negotiate however you want."

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Zheng Zhen felt a sinking feeling, his worries turned into reality, Ye Chen's identity was indeed extraordinary.
