Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 202: Chapter 199: The Most Outstanding Alumnus (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

Principal Zhu awkwardly said, ”Mr. Ye, I do have a favor to ask.”

Ye Chen smiled, ”Is it about building the sports field?”

”Yes, yes, that piece of land has been barren for years. I’ve talked to Hu Wan, the president of Vanke Group, several times, but he just won’t agree.”

”Hu Wan, it’s him, eh.” Ye Chen said lightly.

”You know him?” Zhu Ming’s face lit up with joy.

Ye Chen nodded, ”Yes, I do know him. I beat up his son some time ago.”

Principal Zhu: ”...”

Yan Chuang: ”...”

Everyone: ”...”

Zhu Ming initially thought there was some hope, but upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, he was completely in despair.

How could you expect someone to sell you land after beating up their son?

Ye Chen said, ”You should have Hu Wan’s phone number, right?”

Principal Zhu nodded and said, ”Yes, I have his number.”

”Call him, and I’ll talk,” Ye Chen said.

Zhu Ming took out his phone and dialed Hu Wan’s number.

”President Hu...”

”Are you annoying or what? Didn’t I say it already? No matter how much you offer, I won’t sell the land to you. Stop dreaming.”

Zhu Ming’s face was very awkward.

Ye Chen took the phone and said, ”Hello, President Zhu, this is Ye Chen.”

”Ye Chen? Are you President Ye?” The voice on the other end immediately turned respectful.

”Yes, I have a favor to ask. Modu University of Technology is my alma mater, so could you do me a favor and sell that land to them?”

Without even thinking, Hu Wan said, ”Rest assured, President Ye, if you ask for it, even if I didn’t want to sell it, I would.”

Hu Wan already knew a bit about Ye Chen’s identity.

What’s most important in business? It’s networking.

And Hu Wan, starting from scratch, had an unstable footing in Modu.

This was a chance to cling to someone reliable; Zhu Ming couldn’t miss it.

Ye Chen nodded and said, ”Hmm, the price.”

”Since Mr. Ye has asked, I’ll give it for free.”

Ye Chen shook his head, ”That’s not right; we’re all businessmen here. I can’t let you lose money. So how much did you guys negotiate?”

Zhu Ming quietly said from the side, ”Thirty million.”

Ye Chen nodded, ”Alright then, I’ll add five million more, thirty-five million.”

”This...” Hu Wan was touched.

In fact, if it were anyone else, Hu Wan wouldn’t sell for even forty million.

He was willing to sell only because of Ye Chen.

”President Hu, I owe you one this time, and I’ll make sure to thank you specially later.”

”President Ye, you’re too kind. Just say the word when you need something.” Hu Wan replied politely from the other side.

After hanging up, everyone was stunned.

Ye Chen said, ”Principal Zhu, Modu University of Technology is my alma mater. I’ll donate another thirty million to the school—five million as compensation to the Vanke Group, and twenty-five million as my donation to the school.”

Principal Zhu was moved to tears.

Keep in mind that all the elite together donated barely over ten million, while Ye Chen donated thirty million by himself.

At this moment, all of Ye Chen’s classmates were dumbfounded.

Just now, they laughed at Ye Chen for being a DiDi driver.

They mocked Ye Chen for having no abilities.

Now they realized that Ye Chen was the real big shot.

Those classmates were filled with regret.

A big shot like Ye Chen, just a word from him could propel them to success.

But they missed such a great opportunity.

Principal Zhu held Ye Chen’s hand, ”Ye Chen, having an outstanding student like you is a blessing for our Modu University of Technology. On behalf of the school’s thousands of students, I thank you.”

Ye Chen waved his hand, ”It’s just thirty million; it’s nothing.”

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, the corners of their mouths twitched.

Thirty million—these people wouldn’t be able to earn that in several lifetimes. Yet, Ye Chen casually said it was nothing.

The principal said, ”Mr. Ye, as the most successful student from our school, could you speak to the students at the school anniversary to encourage everyone?”

Ye Chen said, ”Forget about speaking; I’ve never liked being in the limelight and I have to drive DiDi later.”

”Pfft!”

Upon hearing Ye Chen talk about driving DiDi, everyone felt at a loss for words.

How could you still drive DiDi when you’re this wealthy? No one can fake it as well as you.

Amidst everyone’s astonished gazes, Ye Chen walked away.

School leaders and elites from Modu University of Technology, along with Ye Chen’s many classmates, escorted him to the entrance.

Ye Chen got into his imposing Cullinan.

Seeing Ye Chen’s Cullinan, all the classmates were dumbstruck.

Turns out Ye Chen was driving this SUV king to run DiDi.

The recently job-offering Chen Shan wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Li Yan snorted, ”You people are too materialistic. Who needs classmates like that? Don’t invite me to future reunions.”

At this moment, Ye Chen called out to Li Yan, ”Li Yan, want a ride?”

”Sure!”

Seeing Li Yan get in the car, everyone was filled with regret.

Just now, only Li Yan stood up for Ye Chen, while others were either gloating or mocking.

Li Yan catching a ride with Ye Chen meant her future development was boundless.

...

The sixtieth-anniversary celebration of Modu University of Technology.

Principal Zhu took the stage, full of emotion.

”Dear students, today I have an announcement to make. Our school is going to have a sports field, and we owe thanks to our most accomplished alumni, Mr. Ye Chen, who helped us buy the land and donated thirty million to our school.”

At this point, Principal Zhu was moved to tears.

”I announce that this field will be named Ye Chen Field.”

The audience erupted in applause.

From this day on, Modu Institute of Technology gained two legends.

The handsome Basketball Prince and the most accomplished student, Ye Chen.

...

Ye Chen drove the car, dropping Li Yan off downstairs.

”Ye Chen, thank you.”

”Haha, we’re old classmates; no need to be so formal.”

”Even old classmates should give a Five-Star Review,” Li Yan said with a smile.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving a Five-Star Review, activating the 4th review star (4/5), rewarding Celestial Origin Technology Co., Ltd.]

Ye Chen had always thought about expanding into the tech industry.

After all, the future world is one of high technology.

Artificial intelligence and VR technology are the mainstream of the future world.

Ye Chen drove to the supermarket.

In the evening, he planned to make something good for Lin Wanrou.

After all, Lin Wanrou had been busy with her company for days, too hard-working.

At the supermarket, Ye Chen bought a lot of ingredients.

Lin Wanrou is a Sichuan girl who likes spicy food.

So Ye Chen decided to make some Sichuan dishes for Lin Wanrou.

Back home, when Lin Wanrou was about to enter the kitchen, Ye Chen stopped her.

”You rest today; I’ll cook.”

”Young master, you drove DiDi all day, so tired, let me do it,” Lin Wanrou said.

Ye Chen laughed, ”Haha, the most tired in our house is you, dear.”

Lin Wanrou helplessly said, ”Okay, just as well. Today you also acquired Celestial Origin Technology Co., Ltd., so I’ll sort out the company data.”

Ye Chen shook his head, ”This girl, doesn’t she know how to rest?”
