After learning about Ye Chen, Xue Qiwen's face darkened, and he remained silent.

He hadn't expected Ye Chen, who had pushed him down to third place, to be so powerful. After much deliberation, Xue Qiwen sighed and calmed down.

Although he still harbored resentment towards Ye Chen, he dared not do anything to Ye Chen, as his background and status were inferior to Ye Chen's.

He would absolutely not have any open conflict with Ye Chen.

If possible, he could make some small, high-profile moves in private to cause Ye Chen some minor trouble, but he wouldn't dare to make any big moves.

On the other side, after reading some of Ye Chen's information, Wei Yudie casually tossed the documents aside.

"That's how he pushed me down to second place."

Wei Yudie's pretty face radiated a chill.

She worked so hard and gave so much for this year's Top Ten Outstanding Young Entrepreneurs in Shanghai, but in the end, the first place was snatched away by another man. Wei Yudie was extremely unwilling.

She is not Xue Qiwen; she has the powerful Wei family behind her, as well as the strong support of her mother's Liu Group.

She acknowledged that Ye Chen's background and abilities were extraordinary, but she also felt that she was no less capable than Ye Chen.

She is determined to win the top spot among this year's Top Ten Outstanding Young Entrepreneurs in Shanghai. She wants to use this position to suppress the voices of opposition from the Wei family and prove her abilities.

Now that Ye Chen has taken this position, Wei Yudie has to find a way to change it.

Sitting at her desk, Wei Yudie fell into deep thought.

Half an hour later, her eyes lit up.

Having a direct confrontation with Ye Chen, or threatening him, would definitely not be worthwhile; it could result in mutual destruction.

Since force won't work, let's try a more diplomatic approach.

Wei Yudie wanted Ye Chen to voluntarily give up his position as one of the top ten outstanding young entrepreneurs in Shanghai. If Ye Chen withdrew, she, as the second-place winner, would automatically be promoted to first place.

Wei Yudie had already figured out a way to get Ye Chen to willingly give up first place.

Thinking it over, Wei Yudie immediately started making arrangements.

That evening, Ye Chen suddenly received a message from a wealthy acquaintance in Shanghai, inviting him to dinner.

At that time, he had something he wanted to talk to Ye Chen about.

Ye Chen had just finished reading the message when the game immediately issued a challenge.

【bite】

[Challenge issued: Accept his request to have dinner with me, retain my position as the number one outstanding young entrepreneur in Shanghai, and never compromise]

[Challenge Reward: 8% stake in Tencent Music Entertainment Group]

[Challenge Reward: 100 Experience Points]

[Challenge Reward: 49 Mall Points]

Seeing the generous challenge rewards, Ye Chen agreed without hesitation.

Tonight will probably not be peaceful, but so what?

That evening, the Shanghai tycoon's extended Rolls-Royce Phantom arrived at the Tan Palace and picked up Ye Chen.

Before long, they arrived at a private restaurant in Shanghai that only serves members.

As soon as Ye Chen entered the private room, he saw several wealthy men talking to a young woman in a black evening dress.

These wealthy men were quite powerful, but at this moment, they were behaving in a fawning manner around the young woman.

"President Ye is here, hello."

At this moment, the young woman also noticed Ye Chen's arrival, so she warmly took the initiative to come over and greet him.

"Hello."

Ye Chen gave a polite response, but he was very puzzled. He had never seen this young woman before, so how did she know him?

"President Ye, let me introduce myself to you."

Noticing the subtle change in Ye Chen's expression, the wealthy man who had invited Ye Chen immediately spoke up:

"This is Wei Yudie, the heir of the Wei family. Miss Wei is also the chairman of Shanghai Wei's Technology Group."

"Among this year's top ten outstanding young entrepreneurs in Shanghai, President Ye is number one and Ms. Wei is number two."

After listening to the wealthy man's introduction, Ye Chen remembered.

Ye Chen didn't remember the last few names on the list, but he did have some recollection of the first few.

If nothing unexpected happens, the challenge released by the game to help him maintain his first-place position will likely be related to Wei Yudie.

"President Ye, please have a seat."

After everyone took their seats, the long-established tycoon arranged for Ye Chen to sit in the second most prestigious position, while Wei Yudie sat in the third most prestigious position.

The best and most prestigious spots, however, were empty.

Not only Ye Chen, but the other wealthy people were also extremely surprised.

"I invited Uncle Qin here; this seat was specially reserved for him."

Upon seeing this, Wei Yudie took the initiative to introduce herself.

Uncle Qin?

Upon hearing Wei Yudie's name, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized what she meant.

"Miss Wei, the Uncle Qin you mentioned, could it be Mr. Qin Zhongye?"

Someone asked nervously.

Qin Zhongye is a well-known and wealthy tycoon in Shanghai. He is extremely powerful and has extensive connections in various fields, making him a true big shot in Shanghai.

These wealthy individuals are considered to be doing quite well in Shanghai, but their combined assets probably don't even amount to more than one-fifth of Qin Zhongye's.

"yes."

Wei Yudie glanced at Ye Chen and nodded with a smile.

She invited Uncle Qin here specifically for Ye Chen.

Her previous idea for getting Ye Chen to voluntarily withdraw from the list of Shanghai's Top Ten Outstanding Young Entrepreneurs was to ask Uncle Qin to intervene.

Let Uncle Qin put pressure on Ye Chen, so that Ye Chen can't withstand the pressure and will voluntarily give up his position.

Of course, if Ye Chen agrees to withdraw, neither she nor Uncle Qin will treat Ye Chen unfairly.
