Chapter 1608 - 1582: Stunned

The man covered half of his face, looking at Ye Chen in disbelief.

"Kid, you must have eaten leopard’s guts to dare hit me."

The man pointed at Ye Chen as he spoke.

"Yeah, weren’t you reluctant to hit yourself? Let me help you."

Ye Chen said with a cold smile.

Then he continued.

"It doesn’t count if I hit you, you have to do it yourself."

Being slapped by Ye Chen in public, the man already felt aggrieved. Hearing that Ye Chen wanted him to slap himself made him instantly furious.

"Kid, I’m giving you face, aren’t I? How dare you be so arrogant."

The man said, pointing at Ye Chen’s nose.

"This is how arrogant I am, you got a problem."

Ye Chen said without backing down.

The man didn’t expect Ye Chen to talk like this. Since he couldn’t outdo him in toughness, he decided to use his status to overpower Ye Chen.

"Kid, do you know who I am?"

The man asked arrogantly.

When the crowd heard that the man started using his status, they began to discuss amongst themselves.

"For someone his age to pull this stunt, it’s really pointless."

"I think nowadays people bully the weak and fear the strong."

"Indeed, it seems like this young guy just graduated not too long ago. How could he possibly compete with this man?"

Ye Chen said with a smile.

"Aren’t you Wei Wenbin, the property manager of Golden Street."

The onlookers who just mocked the man had their mouths agape upon hearing his identity.

Golden Street is perhaps the most prosperous area in Modu, and being the property manager there makes one’s status even more enviable.

No wonder this man is so arrogant in public, flipping right and wrong and being so righteous about it.

"Oh my, this man really works at Golden Street, how enviable."

"Turns out his arrogance is justified."

"Yeah, that’s how the world works now. Looks like this young guy’s in real trouble."

After hearing the man’s true identity, the crowd’s stance shifted overwhelmingly.

After all, no one dares to provoke the property manager of Golden Street.

"Young man, just let it go, it’s not worth arguing with someone like that."

"Yeah, you’re so young, how could you possibly go against such a person."

"Let’s just consider it a lesson learned."

Though the crowd sided with the man, they still tried to persuade Ye Chen.

What puzzled the man was that Ye Chen wasn’t intimidated by his identity at all; instead, he remained calm.

"You know who I am, yet you still dare to be so arrogant. I have to commend you for that."

The man said, looking at Ye Chen.

Yang Tiantian also tried to persuade Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, just let it go, let’s not bother with people like him."

Of course, she knew how significant the position of a property manager at Golden Street is.

"Tian Tian, you were bullied outside. How could I just let it go?"

As a man, seeing his girlfriend wronged, how could Ye Chen swallow that indignation?

Hearing this, Yang Tiantian felt a warmth in her heart.

She now felt more certain than ever that choosing a man like Ye Chen was indeed a wise decision.

"Kid, brother advises you to listen, take your little girlfriend and leave here quickly. If I get angry, it’s not something you can handle."

The man said more arrogantly.

Ye Chen ignored him, wanting to see what the man would do.

In his eyes, a mere property manager was insignificant.

In reality, this man only knew how to be smooth-tongued and lacked any real capability; besides, Ye Chen wasn’t his employee.

He couldn’t cause Ye Chen any trouble at all.

On the contrary, Ye Chen could easily deal with this man.

Seeing the man not making a move, he looked at him and said,

"Hurry up and slap yourself, I don’t have time to waste with you."

"What, kid, are you crazy, asking me to slap myself? What are you thinking?"

The man asked Ye Chen.

"Don’t regret it."

Ye Chen said as he took out his phone and dialed a number.

In the Golden Street office building, Chairman Zhang Hua was in a meeting discussing a tricky issue.

Hearing the phone ring, he couldn’t help but frown.

No one in the meeting was speaking, as it was the time for gathering opinions, but none were given, which made Zhang Hua quite frustrated.

"You bunch of useless people, grinning at the year-end bonus like it’s something yet acting mute when opinions are needed."

Zhang Hua yelled, pointing at the attendees.

Without even looking at the number, he pressed the answer button.

"Who is this, calling at such an inconvenient time?"

"Oh, Chairman Zhang, it seems your temper has grown in recent days."

Ye Chen said with a smile.

Wei Wenbin looked at Ye Chen and said,

"Alright, stop pretending, you’re playing children’s games, trying to scare who?"

Hearing the voice on the other end, Zhang Hua seemed to realize something and then glanced at the number again, quickly changing his tone.

He said respectfully.

"Mr. Ye, I’m sorry, I thought it was a sales call."

Ye Chen of course wouldn’t blame Zhang Hua, and instead looked at Wei Wenbin and said,

"I’ll give you one last chance."

"Kid, aren’t you a bit naive playing this with me? Even if you really called my cousin, do you think he’d side with you or with me?"

Wei Wenbin asked Ye Chen.

The silent onlookers suddenly spoke.

"I think this kid’s just banging his head against a wall."

"That man’s cousin is the chairman of Golden Street, seems no one can handle him."

"I agree, how could this young man possibly fight that man."

Ambitious from hearing the crowd’s chatter, Wei Wenbin felt even more smug.

"Kid, listen to what everyone’s saying, you’re just too young."

Ye Chen couldn’t possibly heed their words; he was confident in dealing with this man.

"Chairman Zhang, can I ask if our property manager is named Wei Wenbin?"

Ye Chen asked with a smile.

"That’s correct, Mr. Ye."

Hearing Ye Chen’s tone, Zhang Hua thought his cousin must have done something good; otherwise, why mention him?

"Oh, let me ask you again, he’s your cousin, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hua hurriedly confirmed the truth.

"Yes, we are cousins."

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, the arrogant expression on Wei Wenbin’s face vanished, replaced by nervousness.

He was so nervous that sweat had already drenched his forehead.

Wei Wenbin could never have imagined that this unassuming young man before him had such a good relationship with his cousin, even speaking to him so respectfully.

A sense of foreboding arose in his heart.
