Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 1368: Chapter 1342: Calling for Reinforcements

"Boss Ye, you’re overstating it. We’re all in the entertainment business, so there’s no need for bad blood." Yu Yang said with a smile.

Ye Chen knew what kind of person Yu Yang was. He wouldn’t just let it go and would definitely seek retaliation.

But he wasn’t afraid of a despicable person like Yu Yang. If Yu Yang wanted to play dirty tricks, Ye Chen was ready to accompany him to the end.

"Boss Yu is right, but with so many rumors in the industry, our company has already been seriously affected. That’s why we had no choice but to hold a press conference." Ye Chen also replied with a smile.

Since Yu Yang wanted to put on an act with him, Ye Chen was willing to play along.

"Alright, alright, I guess we’ve gotten to know each other better through this incident, which is good." Yu Yang said calmly.

"Yes, if there’s a chance, we might work together in the future." Ye Chen replied.

"Then I look forward to working with Boss Ye. I won’t disturb you any longer." After saying that, Yu Yang hung up the phone.

As soon as he put down the phone, a ruthless expression appeared in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "Ye Chen, since you’re showing no mercy, don’t blame me for being ruthless. We’ll see who has the last laugh."

While listening to Ye Chen’s phone conversation with Yu Yang, Su Wanyi’s heart was in her throat with tension. She was really afraid that Yu Yang would find out about the contract, which would put Ye Chen in a dangerous situation.

"Hubby, what did Yu Yang say? Did he mention anything about the contract?" Su Wanyi asked nervously.

"Don’t worry, honey. I told you only the two of us know about the contract. No one else will find out." Ye Chen reassured her with a smile.

Su Wanyi didn’t understand why Ye Chen would say that, but although puzzled, she didn’t ask further.

Because she saw the relaxed expression on Ye Chen’s face, she knew the contract’s details hadn’t been leaked.

"Then why did he suddenly call you?" Su Wanyi asked again.

"Of course, it’s because we held a press conference." Ye Chen responded casually.

Upon hearing this, Su Wanyi glanced at her phone. There was a headline about Yu Yang poaching talent, and it was trending at the top.

Below it, there were many comments from netizens, all condemning Yu Yang.

"This guy is shameless, stealing someone else’s talent."

"What’s done in the dark will eventually come to light. Whatever he’s done is bound to be exposed."

"Yang Miao and Li Yang went too far, helping him deceive others."

"Yeah, we were all fooled by people like this. It’s really infuriating."

"I can’t believe I liked those two. It’s time to stop being their fan."

Seeing these comments, Su Wanyi understood why Yu Yang called Ye Chen. Yu Yang must be fuming in his office now.

This news had a huge impact on Yu Yang himself, his company, and the two artists Yang Miao and Li Yang.

"Hubby, it seems Yu Yang is done for, and it also affects those two artists. I doubt anyone would dare to work with them now. What a pity." Su Wanyi sighed.

"Honey, you’re too kind. This is what they call ’reaping what you sow.’" Ye Chen said expressionlessly.

Then he continued, "Honey, this is their matter. We don’t need to worry about it."

Su Wanyi nodded and continued enjoying her meal.

While Ye Chen and Su Wanyi were happily dining, Yu Yang, Shi Hui, and Zhu Qiang were all feeling downcast, each burdened with their own troubles.

Yu Yang’s exposure for poaching talents had a terrible impact on him. Although he wanted revenge on Ye Chen, he first needed to sort this out. It wouldn’t have been a problem if it hadn’t been exposed.

But now that it was out, he couldn’t think of a way to resolve it. Publicly apologizing would mean admitting to his wrongdoings, while staying silent wouldn’t work either.

In short, no matter what he did, it was all in vain.

Shi Hui was also very upset at home. She initially thought she had made some progress with Ye Chen, but it was just her wishful thinking. Ye Chen wasn’t interested in her at all.

However, how could Shi Hui give up so easily? Having met such an outstanding man like Ye Chen, she was determined to pursue him to the end. After all, as the saying goes, sincerity can open even the hardest of doors. She believed that as long as she kept seeking opportunities, she could succeed.

And as for Zhu Qiang, after returning home, he went straight to Elder Zhu’s room.

Seeing his grandson looking gloomy, Elder Zhu asked with a concerned face, "Ah-Qiang, what happened?"

"Grandpa, don’t even ask. Some young guy bullied me, and look, my face is all swollen from being hit." Zhu Qiang said with an aggrieved expression.

Only then did Elder Zhu notice the slap mark on Zhu Qiang’s right cheek.

Looking at him with distress, Elder Zhu said, "Who dares to do such a thing to my grandson? They must have a death wish."

Seeing his grandfather’s expression, Zhu Qiang felt a surge of pride. He knew his grandfather pampered him and wouldn’t tolerate him being wronged.

He also knew his grandfather would definitely stand up for him.

"Ah-Qiang, tell me who bullied you." Elder Zhu asked angrily, looking at his grandson.

Seeing his grandfather’s angry face, even Zhu Qiang was a bit startled.

"I only know his name is Ye Chen." Zhu Qiang replied.

"Ye Chen, Ye Chen?" Elder Zhu muttered with a frown.

"Grandpa, do you know this person?" Zhu Qiang asked.

"Hmm, the name does sound familiar." Elder Zhu nodded.

"Grandpa, I know they’re still at that restaurant. Why don’t you come with me to teach that brat a lesson?" Zhu Qiang suddenly suggested.

Elder Zhu seemed hesitant and said nothing.

Seeing his grandfather’s look, Zhu Qiang quickly added, "Grandpa, if we don’t hurry, he might leave, and then he would be hard to find. I really can’t swallow this indignation. My chest still hurts thinking about it."

Zhu Qiang made a pained expression as he spoke.

Seeing this, Elder Zhu felt even more sorry for him and said quickly, "Alright, Ah-Qiang, let’s go now. I’ll take some reliable men to teach that kid a good lesson. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Zhu Qiang’s face lit up with excitement. He couldn’t wait any longer.

With his grandfather stepping in, he was sure they could take care of that man named Ye Chen and snatch that exceptional beauty from him.

The thought made all his previous frustrations disappear, replaced by happiness, as if something great had happened.
