Li Qing walked in with a cup of tea: "Little Jia, Song Ming is so outstanding. He's become a manager at such a young age."
"Auntie, I was just lucky," Song Ming chuckled.
"Luck favors the prepared, otherwise why would some people drive for DiDi, while others become managers?" Li Qing glanced at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen could see that He Jia's mom really liked Song Ming, and was therefore very hostile towards him.
Song Ming said, "Haha, Auntie, there are different roles in society. I'm just doing mental labor, but someone has to do the work, right? We're all contributing to social development."
He Jia snorted coldly, "Are you that outstanding? Didn't you just become a manager because of your dad?"
Song Ming smiled awkwardly, "It's true that my dad helped me become a manager, but it's also because of my abilities."
"By the way, Ah-Ming, I heard you've already prepared a marriage house."
"Yes, I bought a house in Tangchen Yipin. I originally wanted to buy one next to Auntie's home, but it was too expensive. That villa costs over a hundred million!" Song Ming laughed.
"Tangchen Yipin's house must be tens of millions, Little Jia. The standard I set for your boyfriend is that his car should at least be a BMW, and the house should be a mansion worth tens of millions like Tangchen Yipin."
Song Ming was elated to hear this, as it seemed custom-made for him.
"Mom, what I look for in a boyfriend isn't money, it's character," He Jia protested.
"Daughter, you don't understand. You have to find a reliable man, this concerns your lifelong happiness. I don't want my daughter being embarrassed riding in a Xiali."
Li Qing was obviously talking about Ye Chen.
Song Ming laughed, "I wonder where Mr. Ye lives?"
Ye Chen smiled, "My house isn't too far, it's just very ordinary."
"Oh, is it the shantytown area to the south? Our cleaning lady lives there," Li Qing said disdainfully.
"The environment there is indeed poor, but house prices in the city are too high now. Our Tangchen Yipin's house costs over twenty thousand per square meter, ordinary wage earners can't afford it!"
Song Ming was pretending to commiserate about high house prices, but was actually showing off in front of Ye Chen.
What puzzled him was that Ye Chen's expression was calm upon hearing he owned a mansion worth tens of millions.
Ding dong!
The doorbell rang outside.
Mrs. Li opened the door.
"Hello, sorry to bother you, is the car outside ours? You've occupied the neighboring parking spot, could you move the car?"
Li Qing glanced outside. There was an old Xiali and a BMW X6 parked at the entrance.
The BMW X6 belonged to Song Ming; the security guard must be talking about the old Xiali.
Since Ye Chen was a DiDi driver, that old Xiali had to be Ye Chen's.
Li Qing said to Ye Chen, "Your old Xiali is taking up someone else's parking space. How could such a crappy car get into the villa? I don't know what the security guards are doing."
The security guard quickly said, "It's not that Xiali, the Xiali is parked in its own space. It's the BMW X6."
"What!" Song Ming was dumbfounded.
The security guard looked into the room, and when he saw Ye Chen he quickly said, "Mr. Ye, you're here. I didn't know you knew them; since you agree, it's no problem."
Ye Chen nodded, "It's okay, we're friends. Just let his car park in my space."
"Alright, Mr. Ye, you go ahead," the security guard nodded and turned to leave.
Parking space? The parking space is Ye Chen's?
He Jia was stunned.
Li Qing was stunned.
Song Ming was also stunned.
How could it be? The parking space is Ye Chen's, could that villa worth over a hundred million next door also be Ye Chen's?
He Jia couldn't help but ask, "Ye Chen, is the villa next door yours?"
Li Qing was also staring intently at Ye Chen.
She couldn't believe that someone who drove for DiDi would own a billion-dollar villa.
Song Ming was even more in disbelief; the security guard must be mistaken. How could someone who drives a Xiali as a DiDi driver be the owner of a villa?
Ye Chen smiled, "I just live next door! I just bought the villa a couple of days ago, it's cheap, only a little over a hundred million."
The room fell silent.
One hundred million is cheap?
Living in a villa worth over a hundred million, yet saying it's a normal house.
The most important thing was, this guy claimed to be a DiDi driver!
Song Ming's phone rang, it was his dad calling.
"Song Ming, a big shot just purchased twenty percent of the Huanyu Group's shares, the person is named Ye Chen. Get in touch with him quickly."
Shortly after, Song Ming received a phone number on his phone.
Ye Chen?
Song Ming had a bad feeling when he saw the name on the phone.
Impossible, it can't possibly be him.
Song Ming gritted his teeth and dialed the number sent in the text message.
In the room, a mobile phone rang.
Song Ming's face went pale; it was really him.
Ye Chen picked up the phone when it rang.
Song Ming looked at Ye Chen, completely baffled.
He was only a manager of a branch of the Huanyu Group.
Huanyu Group owns more than a hundred chain hotels across the country, and Ye Chen owned twenty percent of the entire group's shares.
And just now, he was showing off in front of such a big shot!
No wonder when he was boasting and bragging in front of Ye Chen just now, Ye Chen didn't say a word.
"You are President Ye of Huanyu Group, I'm Song Ming, the branch manager," Song Ming introduced himself with an awkward smile.
President Ye of Huanyu Group?
Hearing Song Ming's title, He Jia and Li Qing were both stunned.
Especially Li Qing, who was completely shaken by Ye Chen.
She hadn't expected that the villa king next door was actually bought by Ye Chen.
And this young man was also some President Ye of Huanyu Group.
Huanyu Group, one of the top three catering companies in the country, how could Li Qing not know?
She beamed with joy; she was just blaming her daughter for being blind and had a bad impression of Ye Chen, but now she found Ye Chen both handsome and grand, even his DiDi uniform was very dashing.
Song Ming, aware of Ye Chen's identity, no longer had the heart to stay here.
Song Ming felt like a clown.
The man has assets worth over a billion yet is so low-key.
This was the gap.
Song Ming, feeling deeply ashamed, took his leave.
Li Qing was already disinclined to bother with Song Ming, a son-in-law with billions in assets was far superior to a mere branch manager.
Originally, Li Qing wanted to keep Ye Chen for dinner, but Ye Chen said with a smile, "Little Jia, Auntie, I still have to drive for DiDi, so I'll head off."
Song Ming nearly stumbled hearing that.
Are you kidding? Someone with assets worth billions driving for DiDi?
You live in a mansion and are a major shareholder of Huanyu Group, owning assets worth billions, yet you drive an old Xiali for DiDi.
Do rich people these days love playing the fool to outsmart others?
To chase a woman, a competitor turned out to be a flamboyant boss, it's just too difficult!
Li Qing and He Jia escorted Ye Chen all the way to the door.
This time, Ye Chen didn't drive the Xiali, but rather a Pagani sports car.
Watching the luxury car roar away, Li Qing excitedly said to He Jia, "Little Jia, you're amazing! What a pity, if I had known, I wouldn't have brought Song Ming. Wouldn't you have already captured his heart?"
He Jia blushed and said, "Mom, what are you talking about!"
Driving away, Ye Chen received a text from He Jia.
"8 PM tomorrow, Grand Universe Hotel, be sure to come to the class reunion!"
Ye Chen replied, "Okay, I'll definitely go!"
Grand Universe Hotel, isn't it the hotel I just acquired shares in?
