We agreed not to date, so why are you crying now that I've become the richest man?

In a high-end apartment, Xia Meng kicked off her ten-centimeter high heels and threw herself onto the soft leather sofa.

A few days ago, in order to find out the background of the boss behind Xingchen Interactive, she asked for a lot of help.

They finally found Ye Chen's information.

When Xia Meng saw the information in the report, she was stunned for a full five minutes.

She is 18 years old and a freshman at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Xia Meng felt that the world had gone mad.

Even now, she still hasn't fully processed this outrageous fact.

Just as she was rubbing her temples, feeling a headache coming on, her phone on the coffee table suddenly vibrated, interrupting her thoughts.

"Mr. Xia, the target has appeared! Five minutes ago, he drove into the underground parking garage of Building A in the Integrated Circuit Port and went upstairs."

The subordinates sent to keep watch spoke extremely fast.

Xia Meng immediately jumped up from the sofa.

Without even changing her clothes, she shoved her feet back into those ten-centimeter high heels, grabbed her car keys and handbag, and rushed out the door.

She was determined to get her revenge today for all the humiliation she suffered in the Starry Sky Interactive office a few days ago, with interest.

She wanted to personally confront this arrogant college student in his office.

Building A, 12th floor, Zhangjiang Integrated Circuit Port.

Ye Chen signed the last document and handed it to Su Ya.

"Don't touch the remaining funds yet. Keep them in the overseas investment account. Keep an eye on the stocks I just mentioned these next few days," Ye Chen instructed, then picked up the black clutch on the table.

Su Ya nodded in agreement and tidied up the documents on the table.

Most of the employees in the office area have already left.

Ye Chen turned and walked out of the company gate.

Walk through the corridor and arrive at the elevator lobby.

Press the down arrow key, and the red numbers will slowly jump up and down.

"bite--"

The elevator doors slid open smoothly to both sides.

Just as Ye Chen lifted his foot, he bumped into a woman who rushed out of the elevator.

The other person walked very fast, wearing high heels, and their steps even carried a hint of aggressiveness.

The distance between the two closed to less than half a meter.

The incandescent light from the ceiling of the corridor shone down.

Xia Meng suddenly stopped in her tracks, staring intently at the excessively young man in front of her.

He wore a black casual short-sleeved shirt, stood tall and straight, and held a black clutch bag in his hand.

The photo in the document overlapped with the real person in front of me.

There was none of the awkwardness or naivety of a freshman; instead, there was a calm and experienced demeanor that comes from years of navigating the complexities of society.

"Ye Chen?" Xia Meng blurted out, her voice slightly panting from the exertion.

Ye Chen stopped in his tracks.

He scanned the other person up and down.

The white silk shirt was stretched taut by her full curves, almost bursting out.

Her lower body was clad in an extremely fitted black pencil skirt that perfectly accentuated her waist-to-hip ratio.

Following the hem of the skirt down, there were a pair of long, beautiful legs encased in black stockings, paired with pointed high heels, making them incredibly alluring.

She is a woman who knows how to make good use of her own advantages.

"Yes, that's me." Ye Chen's voice was calm, without any extra emotional fluctuation. "Did you need something?"

Xia Meng quickly adjusted her state.

She raised her chin, displaying the assertive style she usually displayed at the negotiating table.

"Hello, Mr. Ye. I am Xia Meng, the mobile game publishing manager of EA China. We have talked before."

She took half a step forward, closing the distance between them, and extended her fair hand: "I've gone to great lengths to see you, and we're finally meeting today."

If it were an ordinary 18-year-old boy, faced with a beautiful female executive of this caliber taking the initiative to show her affection, and feeling the extremely oppressive aura emanating from her, he would probably have lost his composure long ago.

But Ye Chen did not back down.

His gaze shifted downwards, landing on the slender hand suspended in mid-air. Then, he slowly reached out and gently shook her hand.

Instantly separate.

In just this brief contact, the amazing sensation traveled straight to the nerves from the palm of the hand—smooth and soft like the finest mutton fat jade, even with a hint of alluring warmth.

Even Ye Chen, who had excellent self-control, couldn't help but feel a fleeting thought.

But his expression remained completely calm; not a ripple appeared in his deep eyes, as if he had just grasped nothing but air.

"Miss Xia, you've come at a really bad time." Ye Chen withdrew his hand casually, his tone even a little nonchalant. "The company just closed for the day, and the doors are already locked."

He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.

"I have personal commitments. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

After saying that, Ye Chen strode past Xia Meng and stepped into the elevator that had just opened.

He reached out and pressed the B1 button.

Xia Meng froze on the spot.

Feeling the fleeting coolness lingering on her fingertips, she stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

This kid is absolutely arrogant!

As the publishing manager of EA China, I personally came to wait for the other party after work, but they didn't even bother to say a word of politeness and just turned around and left!

The elevator doors are slowly closing.

Xia Meng was furious.

But reason told her that if she let him go today, the Starry Sky Interactive case would probably be completely ruined.

Just as the elevator door was about to close by.

Xia Meng suddenly reached out and inserted her hand between the two doors.

The elevator detected an obstacle and reopened.

Xia Meng stepped inside in her high heels and pressed the close button behind her.

In the cramped elevator car, a rich yet not pungent scent of high-end perfume quickly spread.

Ye Chen found it somewhat amusing to look at her flustered yet forcedly calm demeanor.

"Miss Xia, are you planning to go to the underground parking garage with me?"

Xia Meng took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.

Faced with this stubborn and unyielding oddball, her once-proud financial status and background completely failed her.

Since a forceful approach isn't working, we'll have to try a different strategy.

Xia Meng gritted her teeth and humbled herself.

She softened her tone, adding a touch of feminine gentleness.

"Since Mr. Ye has already left work, that's perfect, I haven't had dinner yet either." Xia Meng looked directly at Ye Chen. "I'll treat you to dinner, just to make friends, it'll only take up your time for one meal."

Fearing Ye Chen might refuse again, she quickly added, "I absolutely won't take up your personal time. I'll leave right after dinner, is that alright?"

Having worked in the workplace for so many years, Xia Meng knows very well when to show weakness.

Ye Chen looked at the woman in front of him whose attitude had completely changed.

Free dinner? Why not take it?

Moreover, he also wanted to see what this woman was really up to.

"Since Miss Xia is so sincere," Ye Chen smiled, his tone slightly teasing, "then I can't bear to refuse a beautiful lady's invitation."
