Chapter 17: What Do You Mean?

Thinking of this, Bilina hurriedly put on a flattering expression and sweetly said to Ye Chen, “Class Leader Ye, it’s truly an honor for us at the Buckingham Palace, and also for me as an old classmate. Please, come in…”

She thought that by complimenting Ye Chen a couple of times, he would forget or overlook her previous actions.

However, she underestimated Ye Chen’s character.

Upon hearing Bilina’s words, Chen Zekai asked in surprise, “Little Bi, you’re Mr. Ye’s classmate?”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Bilina quickly replied, “Mr. Ye was my class leader in college, and we have a particularly good relationship!”

Chen Zekai immediately said, “Great, great! You can report to the CEO’s office tomorrow, and from now on, you’ll be the HR manager at Buckingham Palace!”

Going from group leader to HR manager at Buckingham Palace meant crossing at least three levels, with a salary increase of more than ten times!

Moreover, the HR manager holds the power of life and death over most employees, making them one of the senior executives.

Bilina was so excited by this news that she nearly fainted.

At that moment, Ye Chen, with a gloomy expression, coldly asked, “Mr. Chen, do you know what my relationship with Bilina is?”

Chen Zekai thought Ye Chen was dissatisfied with his arrangement and immediately said in a panic, “If Mr. Ye is not satisfied, then let Little Bi be promoted directly to vice president of the hotel!”

Bilina was almost moved to tears with excitement!

What is a vice president? Second only to one person, above thousands!

But just then, Ye Chen suddenly spoke harshly, “I called Bilina for help because I didn’t have a membership card, and she actually insulted me for no reason, even trying to have the security guard hit me several times. You want to promote her to vice president? What does that mean? Are you deliberately trying to go against me?”

Hearing this, Chen Zekai felt a chill in his heart.

Oh no! I’ve flattered her right into a trap!

Immediately, his gaze towards Bilina was filled with anger.

Then, he slapped Bilina hard across the face and shouted, “You dare offend Mr. Ye? Do you have the guts of a bear and the heart of a leopard? You want to die, don’t you?”

Bilina was so scared that she went weak all over, kneeling on the ground and repeatedly bowing her head, crying out, “Mr. Chen, I was wrong.”

Chen Zekai suddenly kicked Bilina hard, sending her flying a few meters away, cursing, “You blind fool! Today, I’ll let you know the price of provoking Mr. Ye!”

After saying that, he shouted at the security guards beside him, “Beat her up hard! Beat her half to death, then ruin that face of hers that she got from plastic surgery, and tell all of Jinling that any company that dares to hire her in the future will be going against me, Chen Zekai!”

Bilina was terrified, quickly saying, “Mr. Chen, I was wrong, please spare me!”

Chen Zekai was furious and shouted, “Now you know you’re wrong? Where the hell were you before? Young Master Ye is someone you can offend? Damn it, if it weren’t for Young Master Ye’s face, I’d take your life!”

Bilina broke down in tears, crawling on the ground to Ye Chen, repeatedly bowing her head, “Class Leader Ye, I was wrong, I’m sorry! Please, for the sake of our past as classmates…”

Ye Chen asked her indifferently, “Bilina, as classmates, why did you insult me and my wife just now?”

Bilina cried bitterly, “Class Leader, I was confused just now, it’s all my fault for being mouthy, please forgive me…”

Ye Chen said, “If no one offends me, I won’t offend anyone, but if someone does offend me, I will never let it go!”

After saying that, he coldly snorted and added, “You brewed this bitter wine yourself, so drink it all!”

Chen Zekai cursed, “Damn you, if you dare to keep talking back to Young Master Ye, I’ll have someone tear your mouth apart!”

Bilina immediately dared not plead for mercy anymore and instead knelt on the ground, crying uncontrollably.

Ye Chen showed no sympathy for her and directly ignored her, expressionless as he said to Chen Zekai, “I want to talk to you about the Sky Garden, let’s go to your office.”

Chen Zekai quickly nodded, respectfully saying, “Mr. Ye, please follow me!”

After that, he pointed at the security guards and shouted, “Beat her up hard!”

“Yes, Mr. Chen!”

The security guards dared not defy him, immediately nodding and rushing over to pin Bilina down and beat her mercilessly.

Bilina kept howling in pain, but Ye Chen completely ignored her, following Chen Zekai into Buckingham Palace.

Once in Chen Zekai’s office, Ye Chen got straight to the point: “In a few days, it’s my wedding anniversary with my wife. I want to book the entire Sky Garden. Can you do that?”

Chen Zekai replied without hesitation, “Young Master, the Sky Garden has always refused to book the venue to ensure fairness for all high-end members, even for the city’s top leaders. However, as long as you need, the Sky Garden can be permanently opened just for you!”

Ye Chen said lightly, “That’s not necessary; just keep it available for the anniversary day. Also, I need you to help me prepare a surprise for my wife.”

Chen Zekai immediately said, “Young Master, don’t worry. I and all the staff at Buckingham Palace will follow your instructions!”

…

After settling the matters at Buckingham Palace, Ye Chen took the bus home, where nearly all the passengers were engrossed in various trending short video apps.

What surprised him was that everyone was watching the same video!

It was the video of him throwing down 13 million cash at Cui Ge Xuan!

The video started with Tang Sihai’s Rolls-Royce convoy.

A long line of top-tier Rolls-Royce cars, a dozen black-clad security guards carrying black leather suitcases, 13 million cash thrown on the ground, and the sales manager, who looked down on others, was left humiliated. The entire process was posted online.

However, the video did not capture Ye Chen’s face clearly.

This video quickly went viral in Jinling, with countless people speculating about who this super-rich person was.

Many young girls even began to dream of a Cinderella and Prince scenario, hoping to meet this low-key wealthy individual one day.

Ye Chen confirmed that it was indeed hard to recognize himself in the video, which relieved him as he returned home.

At this moment, the atmosphere at home was filled with joy.

Xiao Churan had received the contract from the Emperor Group and was about to become the director of the Xiao Group, which naturally moved her parents to tears of joy.

After being looked down upon in the Xiao family for so many years, they could finally hold their heads high!

Seeing Ye Chen, her in-laws were not as annoyed as before.

Her mother-in-law excitedly said, “Oh, today is truly a happy day! My daughter is indeed extraordinary!”

After saying that, she looked at Ye Chen and smiled, “Ye Chen, you’ve played a significant role in inspiring Churan. Today, you won’t have to cook; let’s go to a restaurant for a meal!”

Xiao Churan smiled and said, “Then let’s go to the Kempinski for Western food!”

“That’s too expensive!” her mother-in-law blurted out. “Isn’t that over a thousand per person?”

Xiao Churan smiled and replied, “Mom, the director’s salary is quite high, with an annual salary of a million.”

“Oh my!” her mother-in-law clapped her hands in delight, exclaiming, “That’s wonderful! My Churan has finally made it!”

After that, she added, “But you’ll have to give at least 70% of your salary to your mom. You young people don’t understand the importance of financial management. Give the money to mom, and she’ll keep it safe for you. It’s definitely more reliable than saving it yourself!”

Xiao Churan immediately nodded, smiling, “Okay, Mom, I’ll give it to you every month. But we have to agree that you can’t always talk about Ye Chen; after all, he’s your son-in-law!”

Her mother-in-law immediately beamed with joy, “Alright! For your sake, I’ll try to mention him less in the future!”
