Ye Chen got home and opened WeChat, only to find dozens of messages.
Yao Lili had sent him forty to fifty WeChat messages.
Ye Chen glanced at them.
"Chenchen, do you remember the first time we met? I fell in love with you at first sight."
"Chenchen, do you remember the playground behind our school? We held hands there."
"Chenchen, I love you. Please, could you give me another chance?"
...
Ye Chen only skimmed through a few messages before he directly added Yao Lili to the block list.
For this kind of manipulative and materialistic woman, Ye Chen felt nothing but disgust.
Lin Shanshan sent a WeChat: "Big brother, thanks so much today, I'll treat you to a meal later."
Ye Chen replied: "Alright, call me when you're free."
Su Wanyi's WeChat was very simple: "Contract signed, thanks."
Ye Chen replied: "How will you thank me?"
Su Wanyi had just come out of the bathroom, and upon seeing Ye Chen's reply, a smile appeared on her face.
She had been around many successful men, but Ye Chen gave her a different feeling.
After some thought, Su Wanyi replied: "You say."
"Devote yourself to me," Ye Chen teased with a smile.
"Alright!" Ye Chen was taken aback when he saw the reply.
But soon another message came: "When you become the richest man in Hua Country."
Ye Chen looked at the message and laughed, replying: "Alright!"
Previously, Ye Chen couldn't even think about it, but now with the system, becoming the richest man wasn't too hard for him.
The next day, Ye Chen continued driving for DiDi.
He picked up several passengers in a row without receiving any positive feedback stars from the system.
Another passenger got into Ye Chen's car.
"Miss, welcome to DiDi,"
"Ye Chen!" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
Ye Chen turned around and was stunned: "He Jia!"
"You're really driving DiDi, I couldn't believe it when Feng Tao told me."
Ye Chen smiled: "Looks like you're doing well!"
"Me? Haha, I started a small company and have had some success. How about you join me, and I'll make you a business manager; I believe you'd be great at it."
Hearing He Jia's words, Ye Chen felt a warmth in his heart.
Knowing that he was driving for DiDi, Feng Tao's reaction was to show off, while He Jia thought about helping him.
"Thanks, driving DiDi is pretty good—it's free and unrestricted," Ye Chen said with a smile.
Back in high school, Ye Chen and He Jia were the golden couple everyone admired.
Ye Chen always came first in exams, while He Jia was consistently the runner-up.
He Jia always held the motivation to surpass Ye Chen, but never managed it even by graduation.
Precisely because she couldn't surpass him, she's always remembered him.
Before graduation, He Jia even secretly confessed to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen had said, "If the two of us can meet at Huaqing, then we'll be together."
He Jia got into Huaqing as she wished, but for some reason, Ye Chen only made it into an ordinary university.
Later, they gradually lost touch and drifted apart.
Upon hearing that Ye Chen was driving for DiDi, she felt a bit lost, as that man had always been her goal.
However, seeing Ye Chen so free-spirited, He Jia suddenly felt envious.
"Whenever you need help, call me. By the way, tomorrow's the class reunion, you must come, I'm hosting it at the Grand Universe Hotel."
Ye Chen nodded: "Sure, if I'm free I'll definitely come!"
Just then, He Jia's phone rang: "What? Our project got PASSED? How could this happen?"
"Is there any way to salvage it?"
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up, He Jia's face was noticeably troubled.
"What's wrong? Encountered some trouble?"
He Jia's face turned grim: "We spent a year preparing this project, were about to sign the agreement, but the project manager from the partner company got fired, and our project got implicated and can't be signed."
The project manager got fired?
Ye Chen froze for a moment and asked: "Your partner isn't Yida by any chance?"
"How did you know? We invested a lot of manpower and resources in this project, and I even took a significant loan from the bank. Now suddenly, there's a problem, and our year-long effort has gone to waste. The company might go bankrupt," He Jia said bitterly.
"You could go to Yida Company and explain the situation to President Lin."
He Jia shook her head: "Yida Group is one of the top ten enterprises in Hua Country. Why would their general manager meet someone from a small company like ours?"
Ye Chen had oversimplified the situation.
Her company might be worth over thirty million, but Yida Group is a corporation valued at billions.
She didn't even have the qualification to meet Yida's manager, President Lin.
Ye Chen chuckled: "How do you know if you don't try? Isn't that unlike you? The He Jia I remember is always fearless, like a little porcupine."
He Jia was stunned, looking at Ye Chen and taking a deep breath: "Alright, then let's go to Yida Group. But if the talks don't work out, as compensation, you'll have to waive my fare."
"What if the talks work out?" Ye Chen laughed.
"If they work out, I'll treat you to a big meal."
"No, a big meal is too boring."
"What do you want then?"
He Jia found that after talking with Ye Chen for a bit, her mood, which had been full of gloom, improved significantly.
"If the talks work out, the old rule—ten frog jumps."
"Frog jumps?"
He Jia and Ye Chen used to bet on each exam, and the loser had to do ten frog jumps.
Back then, He Jia always lost and had to go to the back playground to do frog jumps for Ye Chen after every exam.
But that was when she was a young girl; now He Jia had become a beautiful CEO.
Frog jumping seemed a bit too...!
"Haha, if you don't jump, there won't be any miracles!" Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh.
He Jia bit her lip; these days streamers often do squats, so what's a little frog jumping?
In fact, He Jia didn't have any confidence in Ye Chen's suggestion.
Meeting Yida's general manager wasn't something she could just do.
If Ye Chen hadn't coaxed her, she wouldn't have dared to try.
As for the frog jumps, she was sure she wouldn't lose, so there was nothing to fear.
Soon, Ye Chen's car stopped in front of Yida Mansion.
Looking at the luxurious skyscraper, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel awkward.
Being the president of the company, he had never even visited his own company.
After parking the car, the two walked into Yida Group.
At the reception, He Jia said to the receptionist: "Hello, I'm He Jia, the president of Jiahe Group. I'd like to see President Lin."
The receptionist quickly said: "Hello, President He, please follow me to the meeting room. I'll notify President Lin to come over immediately."
He Jia was a bit dumbfounded; was it really so easy to meet the general manager of Yida Group?
In the past, when she had tried to meet Lin Li, she would have to make an appointment three days in advance.
As the two of them sat on the sofa in the meeting room, someone quickly brought coffee. Such warm hospitality made He Jia feel a bit unaccustomed.
Having visited Yida Group many times, she had never received such treatment before.
