Chapter 383 - Big Boss Ye Lingchen
Chapter 383 Big Boss Ye Lingchen
Despite escaping from the library, Ye Lingchen still felt some lingering fear.
‘A crazy woman can be really scary. Men are on the losing end. I can’t afford to trigger her.’
On the way back to the film crew, Ye Lingchen took a trip to the market to buy a flounder and some ingredients.
During that time, the awesomeness of a prodigy was put to show. His ability to bargain left the uncles and aunties helpless to the point of tearing as they sold their items to him. Ye Lingchen, unrestrained, departed coolly as the crowd looked at him with complicated feelings and respect.
An afternoon passed swiftly. By the time Ye Lingchen returned to the film crew, it was already dinner time.
“Young Master Ye, you’re back.” Li Tai jogged up to Ye Lingchen with a fan in hand and fanned at him.
Ye Lingchen nodded at Li Tai, somewhat greeting him.
“Young Master Ye, there’s no need for you to do these menial tasks. If you need to buy anything, just give us the word.” Li Tai looked at the stuff in Ye Lingchen’s hand and took them off his hands, passing it to a lackey beside him.
For some reason, Li Tai was showing signs of turning into a lapdog, fulfilling all of Ye Lingchen’s wishes. Furthermore, he would constantly butter up Ye Lingchen and throw in praises now and then, stroking Ye Lingchen’s ego.
Ye Lingchen was not against that phenomenon but instead enjoyed it greatly. If there were nobody to flatter him in his life, then living would be pointless. All that mattered was his enjoyment.
Apart from Li Tai, the others in the film crew similarly showed friendly smiles at Ye Lingchen. Some of them were even hovering near him.
They all knew that Ye Lingchen was the true boss behind Xiao Feifei’s company. In other words, Ye Lingchen was their boss. Furthermore, they have seen Ye Lingchen’s talent. Be it Huo Yuanjia or iPartment, both were absolute masterpieces. On top of that, even Lu Group was trying to get on his good side. Most importantly, Young Master Ye was an expert martial artist. All in all, he was considered a perfect person!
If they did not butter up to a perfect boss, they would be idiots.
“Young Master Ye, take it easy. The road in this region is too poorly designed. It doesn’t come with an anti-slip design.” Immediately, one of the bootlickers came by with a carpet and laid it on the floor.
Seeing how everyone was busying around Ye Lingchen, Chen Chichi quickly rushed over as well.
“Nobody moves. I’ve got this!” He hastily grabbed a chair and placed it before Ye Lingchen.
“Good, good!” Ye Lingchen gave a satisfied nod, smiling. Enjoying this, he realized that he began to like this type of situation. Splendour was an important part of life. It was something he should be picky about now that he was well off.
After all, along with his growing popularity, he would be faced with grand occasions in the future. He needed to grow accustomed to this.
“Chichi, I’m planning to give you a few more scenes.”
Chen Chichi was stunned by the sudden good news. However, he quickly recovered from his daze, dusted his sleeves, and went down on one knee. [1] “Thank you, Young Master Ye!”
“Young Master Ye~~~”
Lu Xiaobu rushed over upon hearing the news, breaking his speed record. “Young Master Ye, you must be tired after all that walking. I’ll massage your legs for you. Just say the word. I, Lu Xiaobu, will get it done without question.”
“Mm, very well.” Ye Lingchen’s smile slowly turned into one of kindness.
Not far from the crowd, Xiao Feifei, Hu Yifei, and the other girls were together. As they looked at Ye Lingchen, their eyes unwittingly glowed with excitement.
“Wah, Sister Feifei, Young Master Ye seems different. It feels like he’s more attractive,” Wanyu exclaimed in surprise.
“He seems more outstanding and gives off the vibe of a highly cultured person,” Hu Yifei added.
“I feel that Young Master Ye is more handsome now.” Chen Meijia was a lot more direct.
Xiao Feifei nodded. She, too, was looking at Ye Lingchen curiously. There was an indescribable feeling. Although his appearance was the same, it felt more pleasing to her eyes, giving her the urge to look at him more.
Meanwhile, beside them was another young woman. Noticing the commotion over there, the young woman had a frown on her face.
Her body was slender. Though one might consider her petite, she had some baby fats on her. However, her face was ashen, looking very sickly and weak. “Sister Feifei, could he be that Young Master Ye you all have been talking about?”
“Yes, that’s him,” Xiao Feifei answered. She then looked at the young woman’s expression and explained, “Ying’er, relax. Lingchen is only joking around. He’s a good person.”
Zhao Liangying sniffled uncomfortably, then looked at Xiao Feifei, lowering her voice and asked in a worried tone, “He seems too fickle. I think this type of people would usually take advantage of—”
“Relax. Your worries are misplaced,” Xiao Feifei replied without a second thought. She could not even get any despite offering herself up. How she hoped he would take advantage of her.
“This I can guarantee. Young Master Ye is an exceptionally good man.” Hu Yifei and the other girls nodded in agreement.
Right then, someone ran over and whispered to them, “Chen Chichi and Lu Xiaobu were given extra scenes by Young Mater Ye!”
‘What?!’
Chen Meijia and company almost jumped at that. Following that, they rushed toward Ye Lingchen immediately.
“Young Master Ye~ I’m coming~”
…
Faced with her best friend’s gaze, Xiao Feifei felt a little awkward. She coughed lightly and said, “Let’s head over as well. Ye Lingchen’s cooking is really delicious. You’ll definitely find your appetite.”
“Mm.” Zhao Liangying was still worried. She asked while walking over, “Sister Feifei, you must protect me in your company. Don’t let them take advantage of me…”
Ye Lingchen was half lying on the chair, enjoying Hu Yifei’s massage while eating the fruits fed to him by Wanyu. Looking at the slightly embarrassed young woman in front of him, he gave off the aura of a big boss.
Steeling herself, Zhao Liangying announced weakly, “Nice to meet you, Young Master Ye. I’m Zhao Liangying. I’ve just entered Sister Feifei’s company.”
However, Ye Lingchen maintained his silence and stared straight at her.
Zhao Liangying was feeling even more uncomfortable. She had a feeling that Ye Lingchen was planning to take advantage of her, and she was imagining all sorts of scenarios. She felt like a sacrificial lamb; helpless, and lost.
At that moment, she felt extremely regretful. She should not have listened to Xiao Feifei’s persuasions and impulsively joined this company. She should at least carry out some initial research. Who would have thought that Ye Lingchen, the perfect man they claimed to be, was such a scary person? ‘This best friend of mine is plotting against me!’
Following through her imaginations, her heart was made up for the worst-case scenario. Even if she had to be blacklisted, she would never bend over to the forces of evil.
Right at that moment, she could hear Ye Lingchen nonchalantly stating, “You’re sick[1]!”
[1] 你有病 (Ni You Bing) – It literally means “you are sick/ill”. However, it can also be taken as “you are crazy”. In this case, Ye Lingchen is trying to tell her that she’s ill, but due to her wild imaginations, she will misunderstand it as a claim to say that she’s crazy.
