Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 333: Chapter 329: Pursuing Dreams (Requesting Monthly Votes, Third Release)

The parents looked at Ye Chen with puzzled expressions.

In their eyes, Ye Chen was simply talking nonsense.

Playing games as a career? Isn’t that ridiculous?

Ye Chen continued, ”I know you think playing games has no future, no prospects, or even leads to idleness. I agree with you on that point.”

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, the parents were even more puzzled. If you know this, why let the students play games?

Ye Chen continued, ”However, our students are not just playing games; they are into electronic sports. It’s like a sport, and in the future, they can become professional players, represent clubs, or even represent Hua Country in world-class competitions, bringing glory to the country.”

Many parents were filled with doubts about game competitions.

Ye Chen kept explaining, ”Many games are now popular worldwide. For example, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds already has organized competitions abroad, and such competitions will become an industry chain in the future. Your children will be among the first batch of competitive players.”

Sun Ze’s father questioned, ”Are you serious? Can competitions really become a career in the future?”

To them, playing games was merely a waste of youth and seemed worthless.

Ye Chen suddenly telling them that playing games could become a career indeed exceeded these parents’ expectations.

”Electronic sports are different from games. They require players to have excellent reflexes, analytical ability, teamwork, coordination, and even sufficient physical stamina, which demands players to improve themselves in all aspects.”

Ye Chen said this while showing parents their training plan.

It was very targeted, like what time to eat, what time to exercise, what time to train, and even tactical courses, completely different from what they imagined.

Most importantly, the children’s routine was to sleep before ten o’clock to maintain sufficient stamina for the next day’s training.

Ye Chen continued to explain to the parents, ”You see, this is the difference between games and electronic sports. Like other sports, electronic sports require specialized training. How did your children look when they played games, and how do they look now? You should know better than I do.”

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, the parents fell silent.

Indeed, their children had completely changed compared to before.

Moreover, if it were as Ye Chen said, if they could start a career in what they love, it would be a very good thing.

Ye Chen continued, ”I understand your concerns. You worry about your children’s future and fear electronic sports have no future. I can tell you that they will pioneer a new era of electronic sports, and your children will be the pioneers of this era.”

After saying this, Ye Chen looked at the parents.

”I’ve said everything. Whether to let the children stay here or take them away, it’s up to you.”

After speaking, Ye Chen turned and left.

The parents were also caught in a difficult decision.

Sun Ze’s parents exchanged a glance.

On the screen, they could see their children during training.

The current Sun Ze was a completely different person.

His face radiated a happy smile.

Confident, outgoing, and sunny were traits they had never seen in Sun Ze before.

Sun Ze’s father said, ”I think it’s good to let the child stay here.”

”Yes, I think this principal is quite amazing. If our child becomes a competitive player in the future and brings glory to the country, see if those relatives still dare to say our child is worthless.”

Immediately, they decided to let Sun Ze continue to stay at Star Academy.

Other parents made the same choice.

Though they still had many doubts about electronic sports,

they understood it was their child’s choice.

Looking at the happy expressions of their children on the screen, they knew that taking them away would hurt them greatly.

Most importantly, in just a few days, these parents had seen changes in their children.

They were no longer blank-eyed like before; they had gained confidence and ambition.

At this moment, Lin Shiyin smiled and said, ”Parents, come with us, and I’ll take you to see the children.”

The game training had just ended, and the children had just finished class, only to see their parents all standing at the door.

The children were all stunned.

Sun Ze looked worried, ”Mom and Dad, why are you here? Did you see the video and won’t let me play games?”

”Mom, Dad, I want to be an esports player. It’s my dream. Please don’t take away my dream, okay?”

Hearing their son’s words, Sun Ze’s parents exchanged a look.

Sun Ze’s father asked, ”Xiao Ze, are you really choosing to be an esports player?”

”Yes, I will work hard. Mom and Dad, trust me.”

Seeing his son’s determined look, Sun Ze’s father patted him on the back, revealing a gratified smile.

This determined look was something Sun Ze had never had before.

”Okay, Dad is waiting for the day you succeed.”

”Wow, Dad, I love you.” Sun Ze happily hugged his father’s neck.

Sun Ze’s father couldn’t help but shed tears.

Previously, because of the gaming issue, the father and son were like enemies.

They never spoke, and even his son’s mental door seemed closed to him.

Other parents also talked with their children and received the same response.

All the parents finally agreed to let their children continue to stay at Star University.

Because they felt a confidence and ambition in their children that had never been there before.

This was something these children had never had before.

The children’s determination to pursue their dreams for the future moved every parent present.

Although these children had just arrived at the university for a few days, all the parents had the same feeling.

Their children had grown up.

All the parents left; none caused trouble or complained to the education bureau about Star University.

On the contrary, these parents were very grateful to Ye Chen and Star University for their children’s changes.

The reporters present were also moved by the children’s determination to pursue their dreams.

Every touching scene was recorded by the reporters.

These videos were uploaded online and quickly went viral.

Everyone in the video learned about an emerging thing, electronic sports.

Soon, the reporters’ reports became trending online.

Sun Kai was waiting to see news about parents causing trouble at the school, but when he opened them, he was dumbfounded.

Those parents were shaking hands with Ye Chen, full of gratitude.

Saying that it was Ye Chen who changed the children, made them grow.

Sun Kai was instantly stunned. Has the world gone mad?

The school lets children play games, and parents are grateful?

Sun Kai originally thought that with the power of the internet, they could surely bring down Star University this time.

But seeing the reporters’ reports, he was completely puzzled.

The entire report was full of praise for Star University, even the comments from netizens had completely changed.

Most importantly, the unfamiliar word ”esports” entered people’s vision.
