Ye Xingchen Confronts the Heroine

After realizing that Lin Beifan's cooperation was not viable, Ye Xingchen opted to approach Chu Ruoxue instead. Despite the risk of exposure, he couldn't tolerate lingering around Lin Beifan any longer, especially seeing his beloved woman in the arms of another.

He made his way to the Belvedere Group President's Office.

"Mr. Chu, Ye Xingchen from Lin's Investment Company is here to see you. He mentioned that he has something important to discuss," the assistant informed Chu Ruoxue.

Chu Ruoxue was taken aback. "Ye Xingchen...he's come to see me?"

She knows this person well, considering him a key figure in Lin's Investment Company's success.

Initially, he was merely a humble bodyguard in Lin Beifan's employ, but thanks to Lin Beifan's promotion, he transitioned into the financial market without any hindrance.

Possessing an exceptional talent for investment, he excelled in trading gold, crude oil, and various other commodities, consistently generating profits.

Within a mere ten days, Lin's Investment Company amassed a staggering 3 billion yuan in profits, thanks to his remarkable skills.

Truly, he was a prodigious talent, capable of achieving remarkable feats in the financial world.

To her surprise, he had sought her out.

Curiosity piqued, Chu Ruoxue decided to meet with him.

With Chu Ruoxue's approval, Ye Xingchen entered the Belvedere Building.

As he walked through the familiar surroundings of the building, memories flooded back, stirring up a whirlwind of emotions within him.

"I'm back!"

Before his rebirth, he worked here as a security guard.

Initially, he had only intended to pass his days in leisure and relaxation. But fate had other plans, as he encountered Chu Ruoxue, the beautiful president of Belvedere Group, within these very walls.

Her captivating beauty and elegant demeanor had etched themselves deeply into his memory.

In that moment, he resolved to devote his life to protecting her.

Only a woman of her caliber was deserving of his protection as the God of War.

However, just as he was preparing to make his move, that despicable scoundrel Lin Beifan appeared, using his silver tongue to charm away his woman and dismantle his career.

Ye Xingchen clenched his fist in silent fury.

"This time, I will never lose!"

"Ruoxue, only this God of War is worthy of you!"

"Only I can bring you happiness!"

Under the guidance of the secretary, Ye Xingchen finally entered the president's office.

There, he saw that captivating face once again, still as flawless as before.

In that instant, it felt as if he had been struck by lightning, causing him to freeze in place, trembling slightly all over.

At that moment, he yearned to embrace the beauty before him, whispering softly, "Ruoxue, I'm here! This time, I will surely keep you by my side!"

Chu Ruoxue sensed something odd about Ye Xingchen's demeanor.

Upon entering the room, he seemed to freeze upon seeing her, his body trembling slightly. 

The affectionate gaze he directed at her made her feel uncomfortable, even repulsed.

She had encountered womanizers before, but Ye Xingchen's blatant and unabashed behavior was unsettling and distasteful.

It was the first time she had encountered someone so overtly lecherous, and it left her feeling disgusted.

Chu Ruoxue started the conversation with flattery: "Mr. Ye, I've long admired your reputation. Please, have a seat."

Ye Xingchen, slightly caught off guard, replied and took a seat, though he felt a bit restrained.

However, he quickly reminded himself of his stature as a renowned investor, feeling no need for restraint in any situation.

Chu Ruoxue continued, praising Ye Xingchen's investment prowess: "Your reputation precedes you, Mr. Ye. During my visit to Lin's Investment Company, I heard nothing but praise for your remarkable talent. Your ability to navigate the markets, whether in gold, crude oil, or futures, without ever experiencing losses, is truly impressive!"

Ye Xingchen felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart. Being praised by Chu Ruoxue, his beloved, was a moment of pure sweetness he hadn't experienced in either of his lifetimes.

Filled with pride, he couldn't help but raise his head slightly and respond, "President Chu, you flatter me. In truth, these achievements are but a small matter to me."

Chu Ruoxue couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly. Ye Xingchen's excessive humility was becoming a bit too much.

In just over ten days, he had managed to turn a mere 100 million into over 3 billion. This accomplishment was nothing short of remarkable. Yet, here he was, downplaying it as if it were inconsequential.

A phrase came to her mind: "The guilty party often protests the loudest."

Oddly, she found herself comparing Ye Xingchen to Lin Beifan. Despite Lin Beifan's reputation as a playboy, she couldn't deny his knack for dealing with people. He always maintained a humble demeanor and never failed to credit his subordinates. He often spoke highly of Ye Xingchen, treating him like a close friend, generously delegating tasks and resources, offering praise and support.

While the leader's gestures were undoubtedly well-intentioned, Chu Ruoxue couldn't help but wonder if she would have been able to display the same level of generosity and humility in her position.

Chu Ruoxue's tone softened slightly as she addressed Ye Xingchen: "Mr. Ye, I have a question for you now."

"President Chu, please, I'm all ears," Ye Xingchen replied eagerly, sitting up straight.

"I'd like to know if you're here on behalf of President Lin, or if you've come of your own accord," Chu Ruoxue inquired.
