I confess, I am the Mr. Richest

Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Mr. Chu, You Should be the President

For a moment, everyone thought they had heard wrong.

Bought a building?

What a joke, right?

Which building in Jiangzhou costs less than a billion now?

“Mr. Chu, what did you say? I didn’t catch that.”

Someone asked with a trembling voice.

“I just bought a building, so I’m late. My apologies,” Chu Chen spoke.

Really.

Did he really say he bought a building? They didn’t hear it wrong?

And from his tone, how could buying a building be so casual?

“I don’t believe it. Is buying a building that easy?”

The financial director, Jiang Shunan’s confidant, Lin Hongfang, spoke coldly.

He didn’t believe Chu Chen at all. @@novelbin@@

Buying a building?

Why didn’t he say he bought a whole street instead?

“It sounded like he was telling the truth?”

Just then, a shocked voice came.

“Who’s spreading…”

Hearing his own people, Lin Hongfang got furious, stood up abruptly, and turned to scold the person who contradicted him.

But before he could speak, he swallowed his words.

The one who had spoken wasn’t anyone else but their president, Jiang Shunan.

“President, did you say something wrong?” Lin Hongfang still wouldn’t believe it.

Buying a building, how could it be so easy?

Without answering Lin Hongfang, Jiang Shunan looked at Chu Chen seriously,

“I wonder which building Mr. Chu bought?”

“Yunfan Building.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shunan was completely convinced that Chu Chen hadn’t lied.

“I just saw Mr. Li from Lingfeng Group post a message, Yunfan Building has changed owners, and the new owner is named Chu Chen.”

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Shunan spoke.

What?

Yunfan Building?

Chu Chen didn’t buy an ordinary residential building, but Yunfan Building?

Yunfan Building must be worth at least two billion.

He just bought it casually?

Everyone was stunned.

Gulp.

Lin Hongfang, who was just bragging, went weak at the knees and collapsed into his chair, dumbfounded.

It turned out to be true?

At this moment, looking at Chu Chen, Jiang Shunan felt extremely ashamed.

He had just been planning to give the man a hard time.

In the end, with just one sentence, he scared them all!

Their proud Xueying Catering Group had a total market value of only around four or five billion.

And Yunfan Building’s price was around two billion.

That Chu Chen could casually buy Yunfan Building showed that two billion wasn’t even a concern for him.

As for their four or five billion Xueying Group, probably bought just as casually.

He really was a frog in a well!

“Please, Mr. Chu, have a seat.”

Jiang Shunan stood up and spoke very politely.

“Mr. Chu was late because he bought Yunfan Building, everyone can understand, right?”

Instantly, the previously complaining high-levels of Xueying Catering Group all agreed, trying to be agreeable to Chu Chen.

“Yes, yes, it wasn’t on purpose, Mr. Chu.”

“We can understand, we can understand.”

After sitting down, Chu Chen curiously asked,

“I wonder what President Jiang invited me here to discuss?”

Hmm?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shunan and the others didn’t know how to respond.

Because with just one sentence from Chu Chen, all their plans and thoughts were utterly annihilated.

Suddenly, Jiang Shunan said something startling.

“Mr. Chu, why not take the position of president of Xueying Catering Group?”

In the meeting room, other high-levels were bewildered and turned to Jiang Shunan.

Soon, they understood.

If Mr. Chu really wanted to become the president of Xueying Catering Group, no matter how they resisted, it would be useless.

They couldn’t possibly compete with the financially powerful Mr. Chu.

It would be better to proactively offer the presidency to Mr. Chu and gain his favor.

“President?”

Hearing Jiang Shunan’s words, Chu Chen was baffled too.

What a joke?

Doing some tasks every day and easily earning billions, tens of billions—isn’t that delightful?

Why insist on being a president, working hard in the office, just to make a few million, or tens of millions?

“With just 15% of the shares, I have to be president? How many presidents would I have to be then?”

Chu Chen shook his head, saying with great frustration.

Hmm?

“May I ask, apart from Xueying Catering Group, does Mr. Chu have shares in other companies?”

Jiang Shunan inquired curiously.

Instantly, all eyes were focused on Chu Chen.

“Let me think.”

“Wutong Street, Shuitian Villa…”

Chu Chen answered honestly.

Shuitian Villa?

Mr. Chu is actually the owner behind Shuitian Villa?

Everyone was shocked; they knew Shuitian Villa was privately owned, with only one owner.

So the owner behind Shuitian Villa was this young Mr. Chu.

Everyone was deeply shaken.

However, in the next second, Chu Chen said something even more surprising.

“Zilin Design Company, Junlin Group, and Lingyun Capital, those I think,” Chu Chen replied casually.

What?

Now, all that remained in everyone’s hearts was shock!

Even Junlin Group and Lingyun Capital had shares owned by Mr. Chu, and they didn’t seem low.

Terrifying.

Absolutely terrifying!

Only after a long time did they recover from the shock.

“Mr. Chu, you really don’t want to be the group’s president?” Jiang Shunan asked again.

“Of course not, I just want the dividends.”

Chu Chen nodded.

Being a president meant constant management, running around from morning till night. It was better to lie back and receive dividends through shares, whether monthly or yearly.

Now, Chu Chen’s Junlin Group was still run by his executive team and his secretary, Mo Yuwan.

A few days ago, Chu Chen reviewed Junlin Group’s financial report.

Even though he played a hands-off boss, Junlin Group was steadily improving, thanks in great part to Mo Yuwan.

Chu Chen promoted Mo Yuwan; now she was not only his secretary but also the deputy general manager of Junlin Group.

If Mo Yuwan continued to perform satisfactorily, then the general manager’s position would be hers.

He was enjoying lying back, making money.

“Okay, I understand Mr. Chu’s thoughts.”

After listening to Chu Chen, Jiang Shunan felt deeply ashamed.

They were truly frogs in a well, shortsighted, thinking Mr. Chu wanted to vie for the president’s position.

Who would’ve thought, with countless companies, he had no desire to be the president of something like Xueying Catering Group.

“Is there anything else?”

“No, that’s all.”

In the end, Jiang Shunan and all the company’s high-levels personally escorted Chu Chen to the company’s entrance.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Chu Chen rode off on his beloved bicycle.

Watching Chu Chen’s departing figure, these company executives were deeply moved.

“This is what a true wealthy person looks like, low-key!”

“Exactly, Mr. Chu is worth billions and still rides a bicycle, so unassuming!”

“If Mr. Chu is so low-key, what right do I, with just over a billion, have to show off? I should buy a bicycle right now.”

“Count me in.”

“Wait for me, I’m coming too.”

For a moment, it became trendy among Xueying Catering Group’s executives to ride bicycles.

Unfortunately, they didn’t know, Chu Chen’s bicycle wasn’t like theirs.
