The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 498 - 498 483 Fulfilling the Promise

498: Chapter 483: Fulfilling the Promise 498: Chapter 483: Fulfilling the Promise The hall quickly regained its calm, and a mundane day was made slightly more interesting just by a ripple of morning activity.

Ye Chen returned to the office.

The desks of Business Group One still looked brand new, without a speck of dust.

Ye Chen knew that Fang Fei cleaned his desk every day, although she was neither obligated nor responsible to do so.

But this persistent girl still couldn’t let go of him in her heart.

Every day she quietly did everything within her power for Ye Chen.

“Cough, cough…” Ye Chen entered the office and said with a smile, “Colleagues, lunch is on me today!”

“Wow, that’s awesome!” Liu Shang was the first one to jump out.

“Really?” Chen Qiong asked excitedly, “Vice President Ye, you can’t go back on your word.

You must keep your promise!”

“Don’t worry, meet at the cafeteria at noon!” Ye Chen waved his hand.

“What?!” Everyone immediately burst into a series of sighs, looking at Ye Chen speechlessly.

Ye Chen grinned and said, “We respect the company cafeteria, and you guys need to remember that the company throws several hundred thousand every month to improve your meals, don’t waste that money!”

“Sigh, alright, but honestly, although the cafeteria food has improved, eating a lot can still get tedious!” Fang Fei pouted.

Ye Chen was suddenly startled by Fang Fei’s words.

If you get tired of eating too much food, can you get tired of too many women?

Would he start to feel sick of too many women?

Ye Chen felt a bit dizzy thinking about this.

However, he quickly put aside all thoughts and earnestly began to review the documents for the Northern City District project.

Over a month, a large backlog of documents had accumulated on his desk.

Now, the Northern City District project was at its peak.

By mid-September, machines roared and construction of towering buildings began on thousands of acres of land.

The Central Business Area in the Northern City District gradually started to reveal the tip of its iceberg.

Even this glimpse was already very impressive.

The forest constructed from steel and concrete offered a visual impact.

At this point, businesses had started approaching Tianya Group one after another to inquire about joint ventures or buying property.

Since the Northern City District project involved several large enterprises, any mid-process inclusion of new businesses would require permission.

Tianya Group had largely recovered from the economic crisis by now.

Numerous enterprises started looking here, and bank loans were fully in place; Tianya Group itself had sufficient funds.

After reviewing the data, Ye Chen stretched out and said with a smile, “It looks like the Northern City District project is doing well, it will definitely become an important commercial center in Jianghuai City!”

“What else can you expect?” Fang Fei laughed, then came closer and said, “Ye Chen, come have a cup of coffee!”

Speaking, Fang Fei handed over the coffee, and Ye Chen said with a smile, “Thanks!”

“Vice President Ye, it’s already noon, you said you’d treat us all to a meal!” Fang Fei smiled, showing her teeth.

“Alright, let’s go!” Ye Chen nodded and drank the entire cup of coffee in one gulp, then led the six members of Business Group One toward the cafeteria.

At noon, the cafeteria was always the busiest, but fortunately, the Tianya Group cafeteria was quite large, able to accommodate several hundred people at once, so dining there didn’t feel crowded at all.

Ye Chen called out and immediately led Fang Fei and others toward the executive dining hall.

“Vice President Ye, this is the executive dining hall, they… they probably can’t dine here!” a man in a restaurant uniform immediately blocked the door.

“Uh…” Ye Chen was caught off guard and said, “Why not?

It’s just a meal, why fuss so much?”

“It’s not that,” the man still blocked the door, unwilling to let them through, “You know, the company has its policies, and our restaurant has its policies too!

The company has just adjusted the meal prices for ordinary staff and executives, so if you bring so many people to dine in the executive dining hall, it will definitely exceed the limit set by the company!”

“What do you mean?” Ye Chen was stunned.

“This time, the restaurant subsidized the executive dining hall with 150,000 and the staff dining hall with 300,000 to improve everyone’s meals!” the man smiled at Ye Chen and said, “This is also a favor from Mr.

Li.

But, you really can’t let the restaurant take a loss!”

“Shit!” Ye Chen spat, angrily saying, “Damn it, everyone is human, why can’t they go in to eat?

Executives are human, aren’t staff human too?

There are only a bit over a hundred executives at Tianya Group, while there are over eight hundred ordinary staff.

Why does the executive dining hall get a 150,000 subsidy while the staff dining hall only gets 300,000?

That’s not fair at all.

Based on a thousand per executive per month, the staff dining hall should get at least one million, why only 300,000?”

“That’s none of my business!” the man, seeing Ye Chen so ungraciously looked at Ye Chen and said, “If you’re looking for trouble, go find Mr.

Li; these are the rules he set!”

“Alright, this has nothing to do with me either!” Ye Chen gave a mischievous smile, then said coldly, “I am now going to take our department’s people into the executive dining hall to eat, and I also want your chefs to personally cook a few dishes for me, are you going to let us or not?”

Seeing Ye Chen so assertive, the kitchen staff also got defiant; who was Ye Chen anyway, just a temporary vice president?

The real vice presidents had to at least smile when they saw them.

You must understand, with the current cafeteria reform aimed at not wasting food, the control of the menu was in the chefs’ hands.

If you wanted good dishes, you needed the chefs’ approval.

So now, the chefs were feeling defiant too.

“Vice President Ye, I’m really sorry, but this is the company’s policy!” The man spoke assertively, sneering, “So, I cannot let you through!”

Ye Chen didn’t hesitate; he picked up a chair from the side and smashed it hard against the glass doors of the executive dining room.

Crash…

The glass doors instantly shattered into pieces on the floor.

The scene was electrifying and magnificent as those towering doors shattered.

Everyone was shocked by the scene; Fang Fei, Liu Shang, and others were frozen in place.

They thought Ye Chen was turning around to take the business team away, but instead, he grabbed a chair and hurled it at the glass doors.

“Shit…” The chef blocking the way was scared witless and quickly dodged.

Luckily, he was fast enough; otherwise, the falling glass would have left him bleeding.

The employees dining at the scene, whether they were regular staff outside or managers and directors inside the executive dining room, were all stunned by Ye Chen’s actions.

Everyone, holding their lunch boxes and bowls, stood not far away; some with their mouths wide open, their chewed food clearly visible.

“What… what is happening?”

“I don’t know, it seemed like it was Vice President Ye who did it?”

Some onlookers, clueless about the situation, crowded forward to watch.

“Shit, is someone going crazy these days?” they thought, daring to cause trouble at Tianya Group and even targeting the newly reformed restaurant.

Although the food was average, it was somewhat cleaner compared to local diners and food stalls outside.

The restaurant had indeed seen improvement, as the company had recently increased its dining budgets.

This had led to better food, which pleased everyone.

Despite the disparity between the executive dining room and the regular staff dining area, Chinese had long grown accustomed to such preferential treatment, and no one raised any objections.

“What’s going on!” Li Ruo’s voice rang out.

Her high heels clacked as she approached.

The crowd swiftly made way for her.

Li Ruo’s expression was icy as she looked around; her gaze could have frozen the air.

“Mr.

Li, Mr.

Li has arrived!” Suddenly someone shouted.

“Mr.

Li, you’re here!” The chef, who had blocked the way, immediately ran over in a panicked state, pleading, “Please, you must seek justice for me, I…I’ve been so wronged!”

“Explain what happened, and stop crying!” Li Ruo said coldly, regarding him.

The man, sobbing, said, “I…

I was just explaining the rules to Vice President Ye because we’re reforming the dining facilities.

It involves cost issues between the executive and staff dining rooms, so I didn’t allow him to bring that many people to dine in the executive area.

Unexpectedly, Vice President Ye, without a word, smashed the glass door with a chair!”

Li Ruo sighed inwardly, annoyed that Ye Chen, this troublemaker, was causing a disturbance again.

She felt a headache coming on, uncertain how to handle the situation.

Ye Chen was purely a man who bullied others with his aggressive logic.

If she criticized him openly, he would undoubtedly resent it, but if she didn’t chastise him, the other employees might feel discontented.

It truly was difficult to please everyone.

Li Ruo approached, looking at Ye Chen, who appeared quite composed.

Had it not been for someone telling her, she would have hardly believed that he was the one who smashed the door.

My God, that was tempered glass—how much force did it take to smash it?

“Ye Chen, did you smash this door?” Li Ruo approached him and asked.

“Yes!” Ye Chen nodded.

Upon hearing this, Li Ruo was taken aback as Ye Chen didn’t even bother to explain; he was very adamant that he had done it.

Li Ruo felt unsteady and asked again, “Why did you smash the door?”

“A dog was blocking my way, and you can’t reason with a dog, so naturally, I had to smash the door!” Ye Chen snorted coldly.

Her words almost made Li Ruo burst with anger, while the chef at her side was rendered speechless.

After all, he was just a chef and the other was a vice president—he couldn’t retort to being called a “dog,” given his lower status and lack of power; he had no choice but to endure it.

“Ye Chen, how can you talk like this?” Li Ruo glared at him.

“I’m not wrong!” Ye Chen snorted, saying, “Some people think just because they have a little bit of authority, they can act high and mighty, like they have a green onion on their nose, playing the part of an elephant.

If I put ten green onions on your nose, would you pretend to be an octopus?”
