Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 305: Chapter 302 Campus Carnival (5 updates)

Lin Shiyin guided the students through their final preparations.

The performers rushed to do their makeup and rehearse.

At seven o’clock sharp, accompanied by cheerful music, Lin Shiyin walked onto the stage.

”Hello everyone, welcome to the Star University opening ceremony party. I’m your host, Lin Shiyin...”

Lin Shiyin briefly introduced Star Academy, and after a short opening remark, she said, ”Next, let’s invite Principal Ye Chen to give a speech.”

The audience erupted in applause.

Everyone was very fond of this young and handsome principal.

Ye Chen smiled and said, ”Everyone, all of you sitting here are the first batch of students at our Star Academy. I believe you will also have an unforgettable university experience here. Other schools start with military training; we don’t. We’ll have a three-day celebration. Today’s party is just the beginning. I’ll present a song to you as a welcoming gift.”

Upon hearing that Ye Chen was going to perform, thunderous applause erupted immediately.

Usually, a principal’s speech is full of lengthy talks about studying hard and not disappointing teachers and parents, but Ye Chen skipped all the official talk, keeping it simple and straightforward.

How could students not like a principal like this?

Ye Chen, with a guitar in his hand, sat on the stage, his charming appearance and cool guitar left everyone stunned.

This isn’t a principal; with these looks and this aura, if someone said Ye Chen was a popular celebrity, they’d totally believe it.

Once dreamed of wielding a sword to roam the world

To see the world’s bustling beauty

A youthful heart always harbors some arrogance

Now you make the world your home

...

As the first lyrics were sung, the whole school was in an uproar.

Wow, this song is amazing!

Incredible, the principal sang such a wonderful song.

Love this song so much; it speaks our hearts!

On campus, all the students waved their hands to Ye Chen’s rhythm, as if it were a superstar’s concert.

Lin Shiyin listened to Ye Chen’s singing, utterly astonished.

Ever since she met Ye Chen, he kept giving her surprises.

He can play the guzheng, sing so well, and even founded a unique university.

Ye Chen keeps breaking her understanding again and again.

How exceptional is this man?

Luo Jingshan stared at Ye Chen playing guitar on stage, completely awestruck.

Simply too cool.

This particular song is really amazing.

Instantly, Ye Chen became his idol.

On campus, countless girls fell for Ye Chen.

Countless students instantly saw Ye Chen as their life idol.

”Principal, I love you.”

”Principal, we’ll be your fans from now on.”

After finishing his song, Ye Chen stepped off the stage, leaving it to the students.

The show began, and Luo Jingshan was the first act.

His biggest dream was to perform on stage.

Unexpectedly, this dream was realized so soon.

Looking at the classmates below, Luo Jingshan couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.

Though he sang regularly, it was his first time singing in front of so many people.

Ye Chen took the lead in clapping.

Luo Jingshan glanced at Ye Chen and seemed to gain some sort of strength.

He took a deep breath and strummed his guitar.

Luo Jingshan sang a rock song that quickly stirred his classmates’ emotions.

During three years of high school, these students were academically weak.

The pressure of college entrance exams, teachers’ scoldings, and parents’ critiques left them extremely repressed.

But today, all the negative emotions in their hearts were completely released.

Classmates cried and laughed to the sound of rock music; tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for these young people.

Ye Chen feared the students would hold back, so after watching the beginning, he left.

The school became a sea of student revelry.

The originally planned two-hour celebration lasted until the early hours.

At this moment, they transformed from teachers’ and parents’ perceived poor students into dream-chasing college students.

The school’s festival was shared by students on their social media.

Instantly, Star University went viral.

Regarding Star University holding a three-day festival at the start of school, some experts online jumped out to criticize.

”The university’s been turned into a chaotic mess, what kind of upstanding display is this?”

”Isn’t school supposed to be a place for learning? Is the principal brainless?”

”As students start their term, they should be focused. Shouldn’t they be doing military training? How can their school be so reckless?”

Of course, while those experts scolded, many university students were infinitely envious.

...

Fudan University is a key university in Hua Country.

Xu Tianze has always been a top student in his class and was admitted to Fudan University as he wished.

Ever since he was a child, he loved literature, but due to his mother’s concerns about job prospects, he was forced to study computer science.

Looking at the computer science textbook in his hand, Xu Tianze frowned.

Especially seeing the video of students jumping and laughing, his face showed an expression of envy.

After a day of military training, he felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Sigh, why are we doing military training while other university students are having a festival?

The next day, the festival continued.

A stage was set up on campus, and today’s theme was the barbecue festival.

On the stage, there were student performances; below the stage, students were eating barbecue and sitting on the ground.

The barbecue and food were all made overnight by students who loved cooking.

Ye Chen tasted and found it quite good.

He really liked this feeling; being with these young people made Ye Chen feel much younger.

The square was full of a sea of happiness.

Ye Chen watched the vibrant youth, a smile appearing on his face.

This is exactly what he wanted.

He just wanted students to vent, so they can study better.

The purpose of Ye Chen building this university was freedom.

That’s why he wouldn’t interfere with the students’ celebrations.

For so many years, Hua Country University’s teaching model has been rigid and fossilized.

Ye Chen saw reports about a university during military training, where a student collapsed and died of a heart attack due to physical strain.

Military training is supposed to focus students’ minds, but is it really good like this?

Videos of Star University’s festival were constantly posted online.

Seeing these videos, some parents were happy, some were puzzled, and some were even angry.

We entrusted our children to the school for learning.

But what are you doing?

Playing and feasting all day, what future will our children have?

Some parents even regretted sending their children to Star University.

However, at various universities,

those students undergoing grueling military training watched their peers reveling in barbecue and music under the sun, feeling infinitely envious.

”Which university is this? It’s beautiful.”

”Don’t you know? Star Academy, the rumored haven for underachievers.”

”Seems like the school’s environment is nice.”

”Sigh, they’re eating barbecue and listening to music while we’re suffering through military drills; it’s so unfair.”

Many students had classmates at Star University.

Watching them eat roasted meat and revel, these students were about to explode out of frustration.

They’re all university students; why is the difference so big!
