At the sight of such a grand display, Wang Yan was startled. Could these really be the people that pauper called over?
But on second thought, how could that be possible?
There was no way that pauper knew someone so powerful.
Tang Sihai stepped out of the third Rolls-Royce and walked into Jade Pavilion. Wang Yan hurried to her feet to greet him.
But Tang Sihai did not even glance at her. He headed straight for Ye Chen.
"Young master, I'm here. Were these things who don't know life from death the ones who dared speak disrespectfully to you?"
As he spoke, Tang Sihai bowed to Ye Chen.
The dozens of bodyguards behind him also bowed in greeting.
"Greetings, young master!"
Everyone around them sucked in a sharp breath in fright!
Holy shit!
Everything this stinking loser... no! Everything this man said was actually true!
Was he really the young master of a wealthy family?
Didn't that mean the Citibank black card with ten billion on it was real too?!
Oh my god, just how important was this man?!
Many people pulled out their phones to record a video. They did not want to miss such a shocking sight.
However, Tang Sihai's bodyguards immediately cleared them all out, so they could only film the back of Ye Chen's head.
Ye Chen pointed at Wang Yan. "Do you believe I'm the young master of a wealthy family now?"
Wang Yan was scared out of her wits. She nodded meekly. "I believe you, I believe you..."
Ye Chen sneered and said to Tang Sihai, "I want to see the manager of this store."
Tang Sihai nodded, took out his phone, searched through it for a moment, and made a call.
As soon as the call connected, he cursed straight into the phone. "Bastard, this is Tang Sihai. I'm at Jade Pavilion right now. You have one minute to get your ass out here! Otherwise, I'll have someone burn Jade Pavilion to the ground! Then I'll have your damn legs broken!"
Wang Yan's face turned deathly pale, and her eyes filled with fear as she looked at Tang Sihai.
Was this man really that powerful?
Her boss was a prominent figure in Jinling and had plenty of pull in the underworld. Who didn't show him some respect? Who would dare speak to him like that?
Before a minute had passed, a fat middle-aged man came scrambling out of the office in the back. The moment he saw Tang Sihai, he hurried over and said, "Mr. Tang, you've come to my little store! Why didn't you tell me in advance? I could have gone out to welcome you."
Tang Sihai slapped him hard across the face and roared, "You've got some nerve! Your sales assistant dared to slight our young master. Are you tired of living?"
Tang Sihai knew that the young master had suffered many grievances over the past decade or more. Seeing a sales assistant give him a hard time now left him furious.
The fat middle-aged man had felt somewhat aggrieved at being slapped, but when he heard those words, he was instantly scared out of his wits.
Tang Sihai's young master? Oh my god, Tang Sihai was already a figure like a true dragon. Didn't that make his young master like an immortal in the heavens?
His legs trembled uncontrollably as he turned and saw Ye Chen beside Tang Sihai. Although he looked ordinary, this man was the young master of Tang Sihai's family!
At that thought, the fat middle-aged man grew even more terrified and hurriedly said, "Young... young master, I'm terribly sorry. I apologize to you."
Then he turned around, his face full of anger, and bellowed, "Which blind fool offended the young master? Step forward!"
The other sales assistants' eyes instantly fell on Wang Yan.
Wang Yan hurriedly tried to shrink back.
But the fat middle-aged man lunged at her, seized her by the collar, and slapped her across the face. "Are you blind? How dare you offend the young master! Your damn dog eyes really are blind!" he cursed.
The slap knocked Wang Yan to the floor. She cried out, "Boss, I'm sorry! I was blind! Please spare me this once!"
"Spare you?" The fat middle-aged man grabbed her hair, pulled her face up, and slammed his big fist into it.
Punch after punch left her seeing stars. "I'm going to cripple you today! Are you trying to get me killed? If you want me dead, I'll kill you first!"
Several of Wang Yan's teeth were broken, and the bridge of her nose, which she had just paid to have done, was broken as well.
Sobbing uncontrollably, she broke free of the fat middle-aged man and crawled on her knees to Ye Chen. She grabbed his leg and cried, "Young master, I really know I was wrong. I'll never look down on people with my dog eyes again. Please spare me."
Ye Chen said coldly, "You brought this on yourself."
When the fat middle-aged man saw her grab Ye Chen's leg, he was scared out of his wits. He rushed over, stomped hard on her head, and cursed, "Fuck you! How dare you touch the young master's leg? I'll fucking kill you!"
The blow knocked Wang Yan to the ground.
The fat middle-aged man said to the security guards beside him, "Damn it, throw this dog-eyed snob onto the garbage pile out back!"
"Yes, boss!" The security guards did not dare delay. They immediately dragged the bloodied Wang Yan up and took her outside.
Ye Chen said to the fat middle-aged man without expression, "My wife likes that piece of jade. Wrap it up for me."
The fat middle-aged man quickly nodded and agreed. "All right, I'll wrap it up right away!"
Ye Chen took out his black card. "Charge it to this card."
Then he said to Tang Sihai, "Take the cash back."
The fat middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Young master, since you like this jade, I'll give it to you!"
Ye Chen said, "I don't need you to give it to me."
The fat middle-aged man said meekly, "Young master, please accept it as a small token from me!"
Tang Sihai said to Ye Chen, "Young master, since he wants to give it to you as an apology, please accept it. Otherwise, he won't be able to sleep tonight."
Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly. "All right, thank you."
Only when Ye Chen accepted the jade necklace did the fat man breathe a sigh of relief.
If Ye Chen had refused the necklace, he was truly afraid Tang Sihai would not let him off. With his power, he could reduce him to ashes with a crook of his finger.
At that moment, Tang Sihai asked Ye Chen, "Young master, would you like me to take you home?"
"No need." Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "Where's the back door? I'll leave on my own."
The onlookers had really had their eyes opened today!
A loser dressed in street-stall clothes had transformed in the blink of an eye into the young master of a wealthy family.
And his only purpose had been to buy a jade necklace,
yet the owner of Jade Pavilion had not even dared take his money!
Just what was the background of that utterly unremarkable-looking young man?
Many people uploaded the video online, and it quickly went viral.
Netizens called the mysterious man "super rich second generation," "overbearing CEO," and "god-tier tycoon." They even launched a "search for the god-tier tycoon," and countless people eagerly joined in.
Fortunately, however, the people filming had already been cleared out of the store by the bodyguards, so Ye Chen appeared very blurry in their videos and could not be used as a reference to find him.
