Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 348: Chapter 344: The First E-sports Tournament (Third Update, Subscription Requested)

Zhang Shuai listened to Ye Chen and suddenly started laughing arrogantly.

”What right do you have to fire me?”

Ye Chen didn’t even look at Zhang Shuai and directly dialed a number.

”Is this President Chen? This is Ye Chen.”

”Oh, does President Ye have any business?”

”We have someone named Zhang Shuai in our company, right?” Ye Chen said calmly.

”Yes, he’s in charge of the marketing department, quite capable in business,” Chen Guang quickly replied.

”I believe a company should focus on character before business. For employees with poor character, regardless of their business abilities, we can’t let them do whatever they want.”

Listening to Ye Chen, Chen Guang had already guessed something.

Over the years, Chen Guang had received quite a few complaints.

But because Zhang Shuai was very capable and sent gifts during holidays, he suppressed them all.

”President Ye, did Zhang Shuai do something he shouldn’t have?”

Ye Chen coldly replied: ”I have a friend who works at our company, and Zhang Shuai has been harassing her. This kind of person should be fired.”

Chen Guang’s expression changed.

Ye Chen is a major shareholder in the company, and he could fire even Chen Guang with just a word.

Chen Guang quickly said, ”Yes, President Ye, I’ll handle it right away.”

Zhang Shuai looked at Ye Chen making the call and sneered.

”Kid, I’ve seen enough of these pretentious tricks, just calling someone and pretending it’s President Chen?”

Just as Zhang Shuai was being arrogant, his phone rang.

At this moment, Zhang Shuai’s expression changed; he suddenly had a bad feeling.

He glanced at the phone; it was indeed a call from President Chen.

”President Chen, is there something you need?”

Chen Guang coldly replied, ”Zhang Shuai, you’re fired.”

”What? Why?” Zhang Shuai’s face turned pale.

”Why, you ask? Why don’t you ask yourself? Are you with Ye Chen right now?”

Zhang Shuai looked at Ye Chen and then nodded, ”President Chen, he’s just the owner of the Bauhinia Hotel...”

”What? President Ye is also the owner of the Bauhinia Hotel?”

Hearing Zhang Shuai’s words, Chen Guang gasped.

”Zhang Shuai, let me tell you, Mr. Ye is not only the owner of the Bauhinia Hotel but also a major shareholder in our company. Now do you understand why you were fired?”

”What?”

This time Zhang Shuai was completely dumbfounded.

The call ended, and Zhang Shuai knelt on the ground in front of Ye Chen.

”Chairman Ye, I was wrong. Please give me another chance.”

Ye Chen snorted coldly, ”A chance? What about those girls you played with? How could I possibly keep a scourge like you in the company?”

After speaking, Ye Chen said to Qin Yao and Tian Ling, ”Now no one in the company will harass you again. You can work in peace.”

Seeing Zhang Shuai kneeling, Qin Yao and Tian Ling were stunned.

Just now, they also heard some information from the call.

Ye Chen is actually a major shareholder in the company.

Thinking about how Ye Chen is also the boss of Bauhinia Company, they were both shocked.

It turns out this DiDi Brother is indeed a big shot.

The dining patrons who witnessed the scene were also all stunned.

Especially the girls, looking at Ye Chen with glowing eyes.

”Oh my God, this guy is so handsome.”

”He’s handsome, rich, and has a sense of justice. I’m going to pursue him.”

Qin Yao fell even more in love with Ye Chen.

Not just Qin Yao, even Tian Ling admired Ye Chen.

Ye Chen sent the two back to school, and the way they looked at Ye Chen had changed.

Before, they thought Ye Chen was just a DiDi Brother.

But after this meal, they realized how terrifying Ye Chen’s identity was.

Qin Yao blushed and said, ”Big Brother Ye Chen, thank you.”

Ye Chen smiled faintly, ”Thank me for what? It’s my duty to clear out the company’s trash.”

”Can I hang out with you again later?” Qin Yao nervously asked.

Before, Qin Yao thought Ye Chen was just a DiDi Brother, so they were on the same level.

Now after learning Ye Chen’s identity, Qin Yao felt she might not match up to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen laughed, ”Of course you can, call me anytime, or you can find me for a ride.”

Qin Yao chuckled, ”Asking the boss for a ride, that’s just...”

Ye Chen drove away, and Qin Yao gave Ye Chen a Five-Star Review.

”Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving a Five-Star Review, activating the fourth good review star, and awarding the Miaoya Live Stream platform.”

Miaoya Live Stream is one of the largest streaming platforms in Hua Country.

The live streaming platform is currently thriving, featuring travel, food, and plenty of game streamers.

At this moment, Ye Chen received a call from an unfamiliar number.

When the call connected, a somewhat awkward Chinese voice came through.

”Hello, is this Mr. Ye?”

”Oh, it’s me. You are?”

”I’m Cui Longzhu, the CEO of Korea’s Blue Hole Company.”

Ye Chen then remembered that he indeed acquired some shares in Blue Shield Company a while back.

”Oh, hello.”

”Chairman Ye, I apologize for contacting you so late. We’re currently thinking about how to enter Hua Country’s gaming market. Do you have any good ideas?”

Ye Chen replied, ”I do have some thoughts.”

Cui Longzhu said, ”Mr. Ye, please go ahead.”

”Right now, college students are the ones playing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds the most. I think we can organize a college competition with high rewards and broadcast it on live streaming platforms. This would definitely broaden the market for this game in Hua Country.”

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Cui Longzhu’s eyes lit up.

”Mr. Ye, your idea is excellent. I will start preparing for a PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds college competition immediately and contact a live streaming platform.”

Ye Chen smiled, ”No need to contact a streaming platform; I happen to have Miaoya Live Stream under me.”

”Wow, Mr. Ye, you’re the owner of Miaoya Live Stream. This is fantastic.”

After hanging up, Ye Chen arrived at Star University.

At Star University’s esports training room, Sun Ze was leading students in intensive training.

Seeing Ye Chen, everyone stood up.

”Principal Ye.”

Ye Chen smiled and nodded, ”I have good news for you. Blue Hole Company is going to hold the first college PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds esports competition in Hua Country soon.”

”Oh, really,” Sun Ze jumped up excitedly.

Ye Chen nodded, ”I believe that through this competition, Hua Country’s esports market will definitely open up, and you all have a great chance to become professional esports players.”

Sun Ze and the other team members were very excited.

Because they understood, they could only show their talent on the competition stage after so much training.

This esports competition, thanks to Ye Chen’s support, had full backing from Blue Hole.

The first prize was a million, the second prize five hundred thousand, and the third prize one hundred thousand.

There was even an organization award to encourage various schools to participate.

The news of Hua Country’s first esports competition spread throughout Hua Country immediately.
