Chapter 594: Chapter 568: Provoked Someone Who Shouldn’t Be Provoked Su Xue shook hands with Ye Chen and said, “Mr. Ye, your attendance at our Douyu Live Stream annual meeting truly graces us with your presence.” Ye Chen smiled. Actually, his status has changed; he was once the most distinguished guest here, and now he is a major shareholder. After all this time, the money he spent on rewards can actually be earned back, and he still puts on airs. This feeling is so damn satisfying. Su Xue has already realized that Ye Chen’s status must be extraordinary. Whether it’s his demeanor or his mannerisms, they exude a quality that ordinary people do not possess. If one could make connections with Ye Chen, the benefits would be significant. “Mr. Ye, we’ve already booked a presidential suite for you. You might have to endure it for a bit, so why don’t you go there to rest first? I’ll take you to register,” Su Xue said. Upon hearing Su Xue’s words, many people on site almost cried. A presidential suite, and you call that enduring? Why don’t you just go to heaven? Ye Chen nodded with a smile, since Su Xue was being very courteous to him. He gave the car keys to the attendant, asked them to park the car, and followed Su Xue for registration. Su Xue carefully attended to Ye Chen by his side. For some reason, Su Xue always felt an inexplicable pressure when standing beside Ye Chen. Even when with the chairman, she never felt this way. After registering, Ye Chen found a sofa in the lobby to sit and rest. Su Xue stood somewhat cautiously beside Ye Chen. Ye Chen smiled and said, “Why is President Su being so reserved? Please sit.” Su Xue nodded and sat down, but maintained a leaning posture. She completely resembled a subordinate in front of a leader. “Mr. Ye, I didn’t expect our Douyu Live Stream’s hottest stream star to be so charmingly young,” Su Xue complimented. Su Xue was the first to break the awkward atmosphere. Ye Chen replied with a smile, “President Su is too kind. Does this annual meeting have any program schedule?” Originally, Ye Chen didn’t plan to attend, but he heard Su Xiaomei was returning, so he came. After all, he hadn’t seen Su Xiaomei in a long time and also wanted to give her a surprise. “Our schedule starts with speeches from leaders, followed by performances, and ends with a banquet,” Su Xue explained. “All of Douyu’s executives will be here. You are our honored guest and will be sitting with them,” Su Xue said. “Oh.” Ye Chen nodded, indicating he understood. Ye Chen asked, “Are you the person in charge of this annual meeting?” “Yes, I’m the one responsible for the organization and planning of this annual meeting.” Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁 “Was that woman at the entrance Tickle Your Heart? Wasn’t she banned? How come she’s here again?” Su Xue smiled ruefully: “She seemed to have gone to Korea for plastic surgery and changed her account again. I heard she’s become popular once more.” “But Mr. Ye, how did you recognize her?” Ye Chen smiled: “Her appearance can change, but one’s demeanor stays constant. With one look, you can tell she’s just a cheap little chick.” Su Xue nodded; “Mr. Ye has eyes of golden flame.” Ye Chen smiled slightly: “If I’m not mistaken, her comeback is due to some backing above, right?” This was originally a company scandal, and Ye Chen exposed it with one sentence, leaving Su Xue quite embarrassed. Su Xue said, “Actually, according to the rules, she shouldn’t be able to come back, but I’ve heard she has someone backing her.” “Oh, so that’s how it is.” Ye Chen had actually guessed it; the other side definitely had some sort of path. Su Xue naturally knew who was backing her; it was Douyu’s Vice President Lü Meng. Lü Meng, despite being the company’s vice president, was notorious within the circle for bad morals. He exploited female Internet celebrities and took bribes, gathering lots of complaints from others in the company. Yet, he was after all a Douyu veteran, thus no one could shake his position. Ye Chen glanced around but couldn’t find Su Xiaomei in the crowd, so he called her. “Xiaomei, didn’t you say you would attend the Douyu Live Stream annual meeting?” “Yeah, I was negotiating a contract with a Douyu executive named Lü Meng and almost lost my temper. He even hinted at exploiting me, and since I didn’t agree, he downgraded my contract.” As Ye Chen listened, his brow furrowed: “Such a thing actually happens?” Standing beside him, Su Xue also overheard Ye Chen’s conversation with Su Xiaomei, her face subtly changing. Seeing that Ye Chen and Su Xiaomei seemed to have a close relationship, it seemed the other party wouldn’t let this slide. Su Xue had already made up her mind to quickly find the leadership. After all, Ye Chen’s status was definitely not ordinary, and it would be a loss not worth gaining if such a big investor was offended because of a streamer. This Lü Meng, what a bastard, this time he’s really stirred a hornet’s nest. Ye Chen said, “Don’t worry, leave this matter to me. I won’t let you be wronged. By the way, did you sign the contract?” “No, why should I? Obviously, they’re bullying people. But now I’m also in a dilemma; although there’s still Maoya Live Stream, that platform tends to focus more on gaming, which doesn’t suit my style at all. Sigh, it seems my streaming career is at a dead end.” Ye Chen smiled slightly: “Don’t worry, with me around, no one can bully you.” Su Xiaomei said, “That’s what you said, no lying.” Ye Chen laughed as he responded: “When have I ever lied to you?” After hanging up the call, Ye Chen, feeling a bit cold, said to Su Xue: “Introduce your vice president Lü Meng to me.” Su Xue was somewhat uneasy. Ye Chen’s expression clearly indicated he wouldn’t just let this slide, and now that he’s asking about Lü Meng, Su Xue was indeed a bit troubled. But Su Xue sighed and said, “Lü Meng is one of our vice presidents, responsible for company operations.” “If I’m not mistaken, he’s the backer behind Tickle Your Heart, right?” Su Xue was momentarily stunned, looking at Ye Chen in shock: “You know all about this?” However, she quickly realized her slip of tongue. But Su Xue had no choice. She hadn’t expected Ye Chen would directly know about the backing of Tickle Your Heart being Lü Meng. Ye Chen just chuckled: “The two have similar tastes, anyone could guess.” Seeing Su Xue’s troubled look, Ye Chen smiled softly: “Don’t worry, I won’t make it difficult for you. I won’t mention this matter to anyone.” Earlier, Su Xiaomei mentioned that there were only ten slots for S-Class contracts, and she got replaced by Tickle Your Heart. So Ye Chen could easily guess the story behind the scene. But considering Su Xue was merely hosting him, there was no need to drag her into this muddy water. Su Xue breathed a sigh of relief and said: “Thank you very much, Mr. Ye.” At this moment, Su Xue felt increasingly respectful towards Ye Chen. No wonder he’s a scion of a wealthy family, every move exudes a noble air. Su Xue mentally shook her head, it seemed this time Lü Meng had hit a hard rock. Previously, Lü Meng had done a lot of sleazy things in the company, yet nobody could deal with him, but this time he had provoked Ye Chen. Su Xue always had the feeling that Lü Meng was going to have a bad time.
