Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Gu Peng was momentarily stunned upon seeing Ye Chen walking behind him.

Especially seeing Ye Chen looking so handsome, he felt incredibly jealous inside.

Where did this handsome guy suddenly pop out from?

Gu Peng was satisfied with everything about himself, except for his looks, which was a bit depressing.

Especially when he saw Ye Chen's overwhelming handsomeness, he became even more annoyed.

Although he was unhappy inside, Gu Peng managed a smile and asked, "I don't know how to address this fellow?"

Upon seeing Gu Peng's sleazy face, Lin Shiyin frowned slightly and said indifferently, "Ye Chen is my boyfriend."

As she spoke, she purposely walked over to Ye Chen and leaned intimately against his shoulder, looking delicate and dependent.

Gu Peng's face immediately darkened at this sight.

He had pursued Lin Shiyin since high school, and in his heart, Lin Shiyin was his girlfriend.

Now seeing Lin Shiyin leaning on another man's shoulder was akin to being cuckolded, in his view.

Gu Peng's smile gradually disappeared, becoming extremely somber.

Damn it, this guy is just a bit more handsome than me. Does he have my wealth and background?

Nearby, Lin Shiyin's parents did not speak.

Actually, they didn't have a good feeling about Gu Peng.

Instead, they felt particularly fond when they saw Ye Chen.

Next to them, Lin Shiyin's aunt noticed Gu Peng's displeased expression and quickly stepped forward to mediate.

"Oh, isn't this Little Peng? Don't be angry, Shiyin was just joking with you, they're not really a couple, just regular friends."

Upon hearing Lin Shiyin's aunt's words, Gu Peng's expression softened.

He sat beside Father Lin and said considerately: "Uncle, how is your condition? If there is anything you need help with, just let me know, treat me like a son."

Indeed, Gu Peng's flattering skills were quite impressive.

At this moment, footsteps could be heard outside as the doctor came in to check on the patient.

Seeing the doctor arrive, Lin Shiyin quickly walked over and asked anxiously: "Dr. Chen, how is my father's condition?"

Gu Peng also approached and said, "Director Chen, you are an expert on the heart. As long as you cure the old man, I will certainly reward you graciously."

Dr. Chen said: "The patient's condition isn't optimistic, we can only do our best."

Upon hearing Dr. Chen's words, everyone understood the underlying meaning.

It essentially meant, they really didn't have much of a solution.

Upon hearing the doctor's words, Lin Shiyin and Mrs. Lin's faces turned grim.

After examining the patient and inquiring about the condition, Dr. Chen left.

Gu Peng saw Lin Shiyin and Mrs. Lin in distress, his mind working quickly, he said: "I have a way, it'll surely save Uncle."

Upon hearing Gu Peng's words, Lin Shiyin and Mrs. Lin asked urgently: "What way?"

Gu Peng, looking pleased, said: "I've heard that our Modu's heart specialist is Director Luo at Ren'ai Hospital, as long as Director Luo makes a move, I believe Uncle's condition will be fine."

Upon hearing Gu Peng's words, Lin Shiyin's eyes also lit up, "Then how could we invite Director Luo."

"Director Luo is a national expert, rarely makes appointments, very hard to schedule. Even provincial and city leaders struggle to get him for a consultation."

Hearing Gu Peng's words, the hope Lin Shiyin and Mrs. Lin had just ignited was instantly extinguished.

If even big leaders can't move him, how could the Lin Family, just ordinary folks, possibly have a chance to invite him for a consultation.

After boasting for a while, Gu Peng felt the atmosphere had been set just right.

He coughed deliberately and said: "However, I happen to have some connections that might be able to invite Director Luo."

After saying this, he intentionally cast a challenging glance at Ye Chen.

His implication was very clear, what's the use of being handsome? The old man's illness still requires my help.

If I save Elder Lin, there's no way Lin Shiyin won't repay me by becoming my girlfriend.

"You have connections that can invite Dr. Luo, then Little Peng, you must help," Aunt quickly said.

Gu Peng nodded: "Of course, even for Shiyin's sake, I must help with this. My uncle is a director at Ren'ai Hospital, if he steps forward, it will be absolutely fine."

"That's really great, Little Peng is certainly capable." Aunt laughed.

Mrs. Lin was also very happy and said: "Little Peng, thank you, if the old man is cured, you will be our family's benefactor."

"Auntie, no need to say that, aren't we family anyway?" Gu Peng smiled and said.

Lin Shiyin didn't speak, she of course understood Gu Peng's intentions.

If her father's illness indeed turned for the better, she'd owe Gu Peng a debt of gratitude.

Aunt was off to the side saying: "Sister, didn't I say Little Peng is capable, being so young, yet having such good connections, young and promising, where else could you find such a good son-in-law."

Upon hearing Aunt's words, Gu Peng was even more pleased.

However, he still did not make a phone call; instead, he looked at Lin Shiyin.

Lin Shiyin understood that Gu Peng was waiting for her to plead with him; although unwilling, for her father she had no choice but to say: "Gu Peng, thank you, please hurry and help contact for my dad."

Hearing Lin Shiyin plead with him, Gu Peng was overjoyed.

He had been waiting for Lin Shiyin to say those words.

At this moment, nobody paid attention to Ye Chen, he had become an outsider.

Yet just now, Gu Peng was feeling satisfied, he snorted coldly, cast a proud glance at Ye Chen, then took out his phone.

The Lin family watched eagerly as Gu Peng made the call.

"Hello, Uncle, it's Gu Peng, my friend's father is ill, could you please get Director Luo..."

Gu Peng briefly explained the situation, then chatted a few more words before hanging up.

Mrs. Lin asked anxiously: "Little Peng, how is it?"

Gu Peng said: "My uncle already said he'll help, but after all, Director Luo is a renowned expert in Hua Country, extremely busy, but rest assured, at most within a month, we'll surely schedule an appointment."

Ye Chen, standing nearby, said: "A month, that's too long."

Gu Peng originally wanted to find an opportunity to step on Ye Chen, now Ye Chen presented it himself, he certainly wouldn't let it go.

"Oh, if that's the case, can you do it? How about you also try to find some connections?"

Ye Chen was about to speak when Gu Peng's phone rang again.

Gu Peng, looking smug, said: "Kid, don't show off if you're not capable, see, my uncle replied, it'll surely work."

The Lin family was delighted upon hearing Gu Peng's words.

However, after the call was answered, Gu Peng's face turned sour, saying: "Uncle, think of another way."

After hanging up, Gu Peng's smugness vanished: "I'm really sorry, my uncle said Director Luo is too hard to schedule, his level isn't sufficient, at least the hospital's major shareholder or vice president level would be needed to make it work."

Everyone still held onto hope, but unexpectedly the outcome was like this.

The hope that just ignited was doused once again.

Lin Shiyin's tears couldn't help but fall.

Ye Chen took out a tissue and helped wipe Lin Shiyin's tears.

"Shiyin, don't worry, there will always be a way."

Seeing this, Gu Peng was furious, his face turned blue, and he said sarcastically: "Stop pretending, as if you can actually schedule."
