Ye Chen frowned when he heard the slightly accusatory voice and then looked over. The speaker was a man in a suit and leather shoes, appearing to be in his forties. At first glance, he looked like a social elite, a successful person. However, the tone he had just used made Ye Chen feel an urge to give him a swift kick.
When Li Kexin heard the question, she turned around and retorted,
"Manager Wang, whatever I'm picking up, it doesn't concern you, right?"
It might have been that Li Kexin's attitude was completely different from before, because the man called Manager Wang was obviously stunned for a moment. After recovering, Manager Wang asked,
"What's wrong with you? You seem very angry?"
Having said that, Manager Wang glanced at Ye Chen with a scrutinizing look. His expression, no matter how one looked at it, seemed to doubt that Ye Chen was the person who had made Li Kexin angry.
"This bastard,"
Ye Chen thought, instantly seeing through Manager Wang's subtle attempt at provocation,
"he's deliberately trying to stir things up..." He pouted in disdain.
Li Kexin's expression and tone clearly showed she was angry, but Manager Wang was deliberately trying to imply Ye Chen was the cause. However, what Manager Wang didn't expect was that it wasn't Ye Chen who had made Li Kexin angry.
Li Kexin, who had already made up her mind to resign, did not explain after hearing Manager Wang's words. Instead, she said directly,
"It's just as well that you've come down. Now I don't have to go up. I want to resign."
"Resign? Things are going well; why do you want to resign?"
Manager Wang looked back at her and asked with a frown. Li Kexin glanced at Manager Wang and said,
"There's no reason. I've decided to resign."
Manager Wang hurriedly advised,
"Have you thought about it carefully? It's hard to find a good job now, especially for a college student like you who hasn't graduated that long ago."
Li Kexin nodded very seriously and said,
"I've thought it through clearly."
Manager Wang's expression changed, and then he tried to persuade her further.
"Xinxin, don't be impatient. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me. If you have any difficulties, you can also tell me. Don't worry, I promise to help you solve them."
Just as Li Kexin was about to speak, Manager Wang continued,
"Is it because your boyfriend doesn't want you to see clients? Are you two having a conflict? Don't worry, they are a big boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions; why would they embarrass you? How about this: I'll arrange for a female colleague to accompany you, to ensure that there will be no problems. What do you think?"
Ye Chen pulled Li Kexin behind him, looked at Manager Wang, and asked coldly,
"Are you looking to die?"
Manager Wang's face sank, and anger surged up instantly. However, as soon as the retort reached his lips, it got stuck. He saw Ye Chen's left hand holding Li Kexin's hand—or, to be precise, the watch on Ye Chen's left wrist. After all, he was a manager, often in contact with the wealthy, and he still had some discernment. The watch on Ye Chen's wrist, he knew, was a new model from Patek Philippe that cost 2.8 million yuan! And it was clearly the real deal!
If Ye Chen had just been some poor man, Manager Wang would have had a hundred ways to deal with him, and also make Li Kexin feel disgusted, even repulsed by Ye Chen. But no matter what he had imagined, he had never thought that this Ye Chen, who had suddenly appeared, would be wearing a Patek Philippe worth 2.8 million.
"This is bad," he thought.
"Li Kexin's boyfriend is not someone to mess with!"
Thinking of this, Manager Wang subconsciously glanced at the Bugatti Veyron parked not far from Ye Chen. The car had a temporary license plate, but the Bugatti Veyron itself was undeniably genuine.
"Damn, nine times out of ten, this car belongs to him..."
"Good heavens, Li Kexin has such a boyfriend! What kind of work does she still need to do...?"
Manager Wang had just thought of this when Ye Chen's cold question rang out again.
"You stupid dog, what about you? Do you want to die?"
When Manager Wang heard this, he quickly retracted his gaze and asked with a fawning smirk,
"Hello, I'm Xinxin's boss. And you are?"
Ye Chen said rudely,
"I'm your grandfather."
When Manager Wang heard this, his whole demeanor faltered. Unfortunately for him, he still didn't dare to make a mistake or talk back. He also wore designer clothes, a designer watch, and drove a luxury car. But his clothes cost less than 60,000 yuan, his watch was only 130,000 yuan, and his car was a BMW, worth 600,000 yuan. All his possessions added up couldn't even match the value of Ye Chen's watch. With such an obvious gap, how could he dare to respond defiantly? Good heavens, the other party's watch was worth more than his entire net worth! How could he afford to be tough? That would truly be asking for death. He knew how capable the rich second generation could be and how extensive their social contacts were; how could he not know, being someone who often followed the rich like a "licking dog"? Even if the other party wasn't directly related to his company's business, they could use other means to crush him. To put it simply, these days, money came first, and the rich were the masters.
After regaining his senses, Manager Wang smiled awkwardly and said,
"Look, there must be some misunderstanding. So, isn't your girlfriend going to resign? I'll compensate her for three months' salary. What do you think?"
Manager Wang's direct admission of cowardice and his subservient look left Li Kexin, who was watching, stunned for a while. She had never seen such a Manager Wang before. At this moment, the image of Ye Chen, her former classmate, suddenly grew much larger in her heart.
At this moment, Ye Chen glanced at Manager Wang and said coldly,
"Settle her dues as required. Now, go upstairs immediately and find your accountant to settle the bill."
Ye Chen didn't continue to waste words with Manager Wang; they weren't on the same level. Continuing to pay attention to him, treating him as a significant character, was too demeaning for Ye Chen.
"Okay, I'll go upstairs right away,"
Manager Wang said and hurriedly walked towards the entrance of the building.
Ye Chen glanced at Manager Wang's retreating back, curled his lips in disdain, then looked at Li Kexin and said,
"Get in the car."
"Ah? Ok... Okay..."
After Li Kexin finished speaking, she walked obediently to the passenger side, opened the door, and got into the car. Ye Chen then got into the car and started the engine. "Boom!" The roar of the Bugatti Veyron blasting the street sounded again. Manager Wang, who had just walked to the door of the building, glanced back, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Damn, that's right... that car really is his..."
