Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 444 - 440: Big Boss, I Know I Was Wrong (Fourth Upda

Modong Street, I heard that there are quite a few second-generation resettlent kids there, earning millions a year just from collecting rent.

No wonder this guy is so cocky—turns out he’s one of them.

Listening to the chattering around, Lu Lin looked at Ye Chen with a disdainful smirk.

"So people, just because they have a luxury car, they think they’re hot stuff? I’ve got storefronts along an entire street, raking in millions in rent each year. Cars just depreciate; my storefronts bring in cold hard cash every day."

Lu Lin beca increasingly smug as he spoke, even humming a little tune.

He had once again found his King Bi feeling.

Xia Ying looked at her ex-boyfriend showing off with anger on her face.

No wonder her boyfriend was so arrogant now—it was because he beca a second-generation resettlent kid.

Lu Lin had been going through a tough ti, earning just a couple of thousand a month at a car repair shop, even relying on Xia Ying’s support sotis.

Never expected this guy would get super lucky and beco a second-generation resettlent kid.

What made people even angrier was, I helped you when you were poor, and now that you’re rich, not repaying is one thing, but you deliberately provoke .

Ye Chen said nothing, quietly watching the other person show off.

This dude was addicted to showing off, even casting a provocative glance at Ye Chen.

"Kid, do you know what life’s peak is? It’s not driving a luxury car; it’s being a rent-collecting boss, you know?"

"Hmm, being a rent-collecting boss is indeed not bad," Ye Chen replied blandly.

Lu Lin thought Ye Chen had backed down, feeling incredibly pleased inside.

But just then, Ye Chen’s phone rang.

The call was from Manager Chen of the Financial Mansion.

"Chairman Ye, we’ve collected this year’s rent for the Financial Mansion, totaling twelve billion RMB, and it has been transferred to your personal account."

Since Ye Chen’s phone was used for running DiDi, it was set to speaker mode.

Financial Mansion, twelve billion!

Lu Lin, who had just finished showing off, almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

What the heck, twelve billion a year in rent, that’s way too outrageous.

Xia Ying, feeling down a mont ago, was completely stunned upon hearing that Ye Chen’s rent was twelve billion.

After Ye Chen listened, his face remained calm, casually responding, "I know."

Almost simultaneously, Ye Chen received a text ssage.

Lu Lin, standing nearby, glanced at the bank ssage, a long string of numbers with ten digits.

At this mont, Lu Lin was about to cry.

He initially wanted to show off again, but Ye Chen had once again shalessly beaten him.

He just had a few storefronts, while Ye Chen rented out an entire building.

Comparing himself to Ye Chen was like comparing heaven and earth.

His yearly rent was actually just over a million, while Ye Chen had twelve billion, how could he compete with that?

Thinking of how he just showed off in front of Ye Chen, Lu Lin’s face imdiately felt hot.

If it were just the phone call, Lu Lin could claim it was fake.

But he had just been next to Ye Chen; no way could the bank ssage with its long string of numbers be fake.

Ye Chen hung up the call and looked at Lu Lin with a smile: "I indeed don’t have any storefronts. I have a building, and I’ve never had to worry about collecting rent myself; soone takes care of it and deposits it into my bank account."

Lu Lin nodded continuously.

"Boss, you’re aweso."

"Hmm, actually, you can be like and hire a property managent company, so you don’t have to worry about anything. Oh, and I think our property manager’s annual salary is about three million or so."

Lu Lin: "..."

My rent is just over a million a year, get a property managent company, are you kidding ?

Lu Lin finally understood that he was the one showing off, but Ye Chen was truly the Divine Rich.

Xia Ying couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Ye, with all that money, why do you bother driving for DiDi?"

Others also looked at Ye Chen curiously.

With twelve billion in rent a year, so much money, there was no need to drive for DiDi at all.

Isn’t it good to enjoy life at ho?

Ye Chen shook his head: "When money becos just a number, you lose your drive, feel life’s lack of aning, so I return to simplicity, to a pure state."

Everyone listened to Ye Chen’s words, half understanding and half not.

It seed philosophical.

Lu Lin felt sheer embarrassnt.

Earning just over a million a year, coming out to show off like this, while the rent-collecting boss with billions ca out to drive for DiDi to experience life.

What is perspective, what is disparity?

Thinking about how he flew off the handle after getting money, Lu Lin felt deep sha.

Xia Ying also gave a cold snort: "See this? Now, do you know what a real boss is? A man constantly showing off—really assus he’s sothing, don’t you know there’s always soone better than you?"

She glared at her boyfriend, full of disappointnt, said Xia Ying angrily.

Lu Lin seed touched by sothing, suddenly stood up, and went over to Ye Chen, bowing and said: "Mr. Ye, I know I was wrong, I shouldn’t have shown off, from now on I’ll be down to earth."

Hearing Lu Lin’s words, Xia Ying was stunned.

Is this really her arrogant ex-boyfriend?

Glancing at Xia Ying, Lu Lin continued: "Xia Ying, I’m sorry, I’ve always loved you in my heart. I was showing off just to get your attention, but I was too foolish. Your boyfriend is so good, so handso, I don’t deserve you. Losing you is the biggest regret of my life, I regret it very much. If I didn’t love showing off so much, maybe you wouldn’t have left ."

As he spoke, tears even appeared on Lu Lin’s face.

"Though I’m wealthy now, my life feels extrely empty, and I really miss the days I spent with you."

"Unfortunately, it’s all too late now, your boyfriend is so great, so excellent. It’s my fault for not cherishing you, sorry, I lost you."

"Xiaoying, I wish you happiness, I’ll always rember you." Saying so, Lu Lin stood up, ready to leave.

Xia Ying was dumbfounded, never in her wildest dreams expected Lu Lin to say such words.

So all along, Lu Lin truly cared about her and loved her.

Watching Lu Lin depart, Xia Ying was sowhat in a daze.

Ye Chen, standing aside, chuckled: "Why are you in a daze, go after him?"

Tears filled Xia Ying’s eyes, and she bowed to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, thank you."

Then, Xia Ying ran out, calling to Lu Lin, "You fool, stop right there."

Lu Lin dumbfoundedly replied, "Xia Ying, you don’t need to comfort , maybe it’s retribution for from heaven."

Xia Ying hugged Lu Lin tightly: "Fool, the one I’ve always loved is you."

Lu Lin paused and looked at Ye Chen: "That Divine Rich boss?"

Xia Ying laughed: "I knew seeing , you’d undoubtedly show off again, so I found him on the street to pose as my boyfriend."

Lu Lin paused for a mont, filled with excitent: "Is it true what you said?"

"Of course it is." Xia Ying laughed.

The two of them hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Afterwards, Xia Ying pulled Lu Lin over to Ye Chen.

"Mr. Ye, thank you, without you, we might never have gotten back together." Xia Ying said gratefully.

"Rest assured, Mr. Ye, I will certainly heed your teachings, remain grounded, and never show off again."

Ye Chen offered a light smile: "Since you both understand each other’s feelings, cherish and love each other, I wish you a lifeti of happiness."

At that mont, Lin Shiyin called over: "Principal Ye, Elder Qian has co to Star University with a leader."
