Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

72: Chapter 72: Strive, Young Man 72: Chapter 72: Strive, Young Man “Luo Hao’s slip of the hand!”

This news rocketed to the top of the hot searches on various major websites.

The entertainment industry in Hua Country handles negative news about artists very strictly.

This news became substantial evidence, and Luo Hao’s career in showbiz was considered over.

In the evening, Ye Chen received a call from Zhang Yuyu.

“Ye Chen, thank you.

I might have been done for if it weren’t for you.”

“No worries, we’re friends, after all.

Besides, someone like Luo Hao doesn’t deserve to be an idol.

I just did a good deed for the people.”

The film’s promotion went very smoothly, and Ye Chen returned to Modu.

Lin Shanshan called Ye Chen to tell him that his several properties at Tangchen Yipin had all been rented out.

Ye Chen smiled slightly, “Go ahead and manage those properties for me, just give me the rent.”

“Okay, thank you, Brother Ye.

By the way, do you have any plans for tonight, Brother Ye?” Lin Shanshan said hesitantly.

Ye Chen was puzzled for a moment and asked, “I have time, what’s up?”

Lin Shanshan nodded and said, “Brother Ye, there’s a class reunion.

Could you pretend to be my boyfriend?”

“No problem.” Ye Chen nodded with a smile.

“Great, it’s at seven in the evening, at Huanyu Hotel.”

“OK.” Ye Chen nodded.

That night, at six-thirty, Lin Shanshan was standing at the door waiting for Ye Chen.

“Shanshan, you’re not waiting for me, are you?” A young man walked over excitedly.

The young man’s name was Gao Yuan, a college classmate of Lin Shanshan.

During college, Gao Yuan had always pursued Lin Shanshan, but unfortunately, she rejected him.

Back then, Gao Yuan was skinny, his family was very ordinary, and he felt unworthy of Lin Shanshan, so he gave up.

But Gao Yuan is not the same now; he had a stroke of luck when his long-lost father suddenly found him.

A scruffy man was instantly transformed into the president of a listed medical equipment company.

Now he’s dressed in designer clothes, constantly at premium gym clubs, and his physique and temperament are nothing like before.

Over the years, many women surrounded Gao Yuan, but he could never forget Lin Shanshan.

Upon hearing Lin Shanshan was working at a sales office, he organized this gathering.

His sole purpose was to use the reunion to get close to Lin Shanshan and win the goddess of his dreams to fulfill his last life goal.

Lin Shanshan looked at the person in front of her, stunned, “Excuse me, who are you?”

Gao Yuan’s face turned extremely embarrassed; his dream goddess didn’t even recognize him.

Despite being forgotten by his goddess, instead of feeling down, he was excited.

What does this mean?

It means he has changed so dramatically over the years.

That’s right, now he was immaculately dressed, the epitome of a successful business elite.

The current him was a completely different person from the scruffy guy in college.

“Shanshan, I’m Gao Yuan; I even sent you flowers specially.”

“Gao Yuan?” Lin Shanshan was stunned for a moment, took a long look, and finally recognized him.

“Hello, sorry, I’m face-blind, so I didn’t recognize you.”

“It’s normal not to recognize me.

I’ve changed a lot.

This reunion is organized just for you; what do you think of this hotel?” Gao Yuan said smugly.

Lin Shanshan smiled, “It’s nice.”

Clearly unsatisfied with Lin Shanshan’s response, Gao Yuan proudly introduced, “Shanshan, this hotel is extraordinary; it’s one of the four major hotels in Hua Country, with top-notch chefs from all major cuisines nationwide.

The hotel’s environment is first-class, and the spending here starts in the ten thousand yuan range.

Ordinary folks wouldn’t dream of dining here.”

Lin Shanshan was anxious about why Ye Chen hadn’t arrived yet, so she didn’t really listen to what Gao Yuan was saying.

“Oh!” Lin Shanshan responded perfunctorily.

At this moment, several other classmates walked over, showing great enthusiasm toward Gao Yuan.

“President Gao, thanks to your blessing, we get to dine in such a high-class restaurant.”

“Exactly, I heard the spending here is steep.

If it weren’t for President Gao, I might never have had the chance in my lifetime.”

Listening to his old classmates’ compliments, Gao Yuan felt even more satisfied.

Initially, he expected to see admiration or even awe on Lin Shanshan’s face.

However, to his dismay, Lin Shanshan seemed absent-minded and kept looking around as if waiting for someone.

“Shanshan, are you waiting for someone?” Gao Yuan asked.

“Yes, waiting for my boyfriend,” Lin Shanshan replied casually.

“Boyfriend?” Gao Yuan’s face darkened instantly.

“You have a boyfriend?” Gao Yuan frowned and glanced at Li Hong beside him.

Li Hong was Lin Shanshan’s close friend, and she had swore up and down that Lin Shanshan didn’t have a boyfriend.

Otherwise, why would he spend so much money organizing this reunion?

Li Hong quickly said awkwardly, “Shanshan, you must be joking.

You never said you had a boyfriend.”

“I do, we just met!” said Lin Shanshan.

Just then, a handsome man walked over, “Shanshan, sorry I’m late.”

Seeing the charming Ye Chen, many classmates at the door exclaimed.

“Shanshan, your boyfriend is so handsome.”

“You sneaky girl, keeping this under wraps so well.”

A group of girls was whispering, and many of them were smitten by Ye Chen.

Seeing the dazzling Ye Chen, Gao Yuan’s face turned increasingly sour.

Admittedly, in terms of good looks, he fell short by a notch.

But Gao Yuan wasn’t discouraged.

Though Ye Chen was more handsome, he had wealth, he was a company president, and this status was enough to make up for the gap in looks.

Moreover, it’s not just looks that matter in today’s world, but money.

Gao Yuan awkwardly smiled and said, “Shanshan, why don’t you introduce your boyfriend to us.”

Lin Shanshan was taken aback; she genuinely didn’t know how to introduce Ye Chen.

She only knew Ye Chen was rich and owned many properties.

As for what Ye Chen actually did, she had no clue.

Ye Chen grinned and said before Lin Shanshan, “I’m a DiDi driver.”

“A DiDi driver?”

Everyone was stunned.

The beauties who’d just looked at Ye Chen with admiration now showed disappointment.

To see someone dressed so neatly and think he was a rich young man, what a waste of emotions.

Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, his face showing a playful expression, “Nice to meet you, I’m Gao Yuan, president of Kangda Medical Equipment.”

“Oh my gosh, isn’t Kangda Medical Equipment a listed company?”

“Yes, it’s the leader in medical equipment.”

“Who would’ve thought Gao Yuan is the president of such an impressive company.”

…

The way everyone looked at Gao Yuan changed completely.

In their eyes, Gao Yuan had always been quite ordinary in the class.

To think one reveal showed such an impressive identity.

Gao Yuan basked in the envious, admiring gazes of the people around him.

“Frankly, we’re just a small company, with a market value of only a few billion yuan, and my annual salary is merely in the millions.

Compared to the real big shots, we’re far behind.”

Ye Chen nodded, patted Gao Yuan on the shoulder, “Indeed, you’re a bit lacking.

Keep at it, young man.”

Gao Yuan: “…”

Classmates: “…”
