Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 513: Chapter 509: Board of Directors (Second Update, Subscription Requested)

The middle-aged woman held a porcelain plate and said with a smile, ”Sir, you’re looking for the most expensive jewelry in our store, right? This bracelet is our store’s prized possession, valued at 20 million. I’ll give you a ten percent discount.”

Seeing the store manager trying to sell the product to Ye Chen, the other sales assistants were incredibly envious.

According to the rules, employees can earn a 3% profit from the products they sell.

The manager selling this bracelet would make a huge profit.

Ye Chen saw the female store manager furrow her brow.

”Where’s that girl just now?”

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, the female store manager awkwardly laughed, ”That sales assistant had some other tasks to handle, so I assigned her elsewhere. I’ll take care of this sale.”

Ye Chen knew exactly what little plan the female store manager had in mind.

He said calmly, ”Alright, I’ll leave for now, and I’ll come back to buy it when she returns.”

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, the female store manager panicked.

If such a big transaction fell through due to her selfishness, the boss certainly wouldn’t forgive her.

The female store manager quickly said, ”Sir, please wait. I’ll get her right away.”

Before long, Li Xiangxiang returned.

Ye Chen looked at Li Xiangxiang and laughed, ”You’re really unreliable. I asked you to serve me, and you just left me here.”

Li Xiangxiang’s pretty face turned red, ”Sorry, Principal Ye.”

”Is there a discount on this bracelet?”

”This bracelet has a fifteen percent discount,” Li Xiangxiang stated honestly.

The female store manager had said ten percent earlier because she believed Ye Chen would definitely buy it, so she raised the discount to make more herself.

Li Xiangxiang was too straightforward and revealed the actual minimum price to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen smiled lightly, ”Alright, I’ll buy it. Swipe the card.”

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Li Xiangxiang was momentarily stunned.

The girls nearby were also a bit shocked.

To buy such an expensive bracelet without even blinking, Ye Chen truly was a rich guy.

Ye Chen laughed, ”By the way, can I add you on WeChat?”

The female sales around him were envious to death when they saw Ye Chen actively asking to add her on WeChat.

Meeting such a handsome, wealthy man, this girl was really lucky.

But Li Xiangxiang’s pretty face turned red, ”Sorry, I don’t have one?”

The female sales present, including the manager, were almost driven mad.

When a wealthy, handsome man actively asks for your WeChat, even if you don’t have it, you should immediately register.

Ye Chen was also a bit stunned.

Actually, Li Xiangxiang was usually focused on her cooking skills and never chatted on WeChat.

”Then you must have a phone number.”

”Yes, Principal Ye, you?” Li Xiangxiang said shyly.

Could it be that Principal Ye was going to...

Ye Chen, realizing Li Xiangxiang’s misunderstanding, quickly said, ”Oh, actually, I wanted your number to discuss something with you. Would you be interested in being the head chef at a five-star hotel?”

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Li Xiangxiang was initially stunned, then her face broke into a look of sheer joy.

”Mr. Ye, did you say you want me to be the head chef at a five-star hotel?”

Ye Chen smiled lightly, ”Yes, I just acquired a five-star hotel and need a head chef, so I thought of you.”

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, everyone at the scene was dumbfounded.

Oh my god, just how wealthy is this handsome guy, to casually acquire a hotel!

Ye Chen smiled lightly, ”If you’ve made up your mind, go report to Wanbao Hotel. I’ve already spoken to the manager.”

After speaking, Ye Chen walked away leisurely, leaving everyone in a daze.

...

At this moment, in the principal’s office of Ye Chen’s alma mater, Modu University of Technology, there was a heavy atmosphere.

This year’s employment rates for various universities have come in, and we’re ranked lowest in Modu.

Everyone’s expressions turned grim.

This employment rate is tied to student enrollment.

If your employment rate is poor, who would enroll in your school?

”Does anyone have any solutions?”

At this point, a teacher suddenly said, ”Principal, I have a student named Zhang Ming. A few days ago, I saw him in a financial report. He’s already the richest man in Xishan City and reportedly owns several chain businesses. We could ask him for help.”

The principal’s eyes lit up.

”Yes, that’s a great idea.”

At the last school anniversary, there were quite a few impressive figures at the school.

Especially that Ye Chen.

The principal looked at the newly completed sports ground, deep in thought.

He nodded, ”Teacher Hou’s suggestion is very good. Now is the time for the school’s board of trustees to play its role.”

During the last school anniversary, Modu Institute of Technology established a board of trustees to gather successful alumni.

On one hand, when the school faces challenges, these alumni can be called upon to help.

Of course, these alumni also liked being called a board member.

After all, saying you’re a board member of Modu University sounds very cultured.

Because of Ye Chen’s outstanding performance last time, he’s now the vice chairman of the board of trustees.

The board of trustees?

The few vice principals present also had their eyes light up.

The principal said, ”Let’s call these successful alumni to the board of trustees meeting, and ask them to give speeches to the students, then maybe they’ll feel too embarrassed not to help us?”

Upon hearing Principal Zhu’s words, the vice principals and school executives nodded.

Truly worthy of being the principal, such masterful planning.

The school helps you show off, so you should also do something for the school. The principal’s strategy is brilliant.

Principal Zhu said, ”For this board of trustees meeting, there are two people we must invite - Ye Chen and the previously mentioned Zhang Ming. Vice Principal Chen, you personally oversee this and make sure to invite both of them.”

Principal Chen nodded, ”Alright, I’ll do my best.”

After the meeting ended, Principal Chen also felt a bit troubled because alumni meetings at the school didn’t always attract students.

These people are quite slick, knowing that a school board meeting often implies something needs to be done.

It’s either fundraising or addressing matters.

In the past, he had also gathered them, but those students would always find excuses of being busy or other reasons to decline.

This time, Principal Zhu was also worried Ye Chen wouldn’t come.

Suddenly, Principal Zhu’s eyes lit up.

Last time, Ye Chen seemed to have a good relationship with the school belle, Xie Yingying. There’s an idea.

Soon, Xie Yingying arrived at the principal’s office.

Just as she entered, Principal Chen’s gaze landed on Xie Yingying.

”Not bad, not bad, no wonder she’s the school belle.”

Seeing Principal Chen’s odd gaze, Xie Yingying tightened her school uniform.

”Principal, what do you need?”

Principal Chen laughed awkwardly, ”Yingying, don’t misunderstand, I didn’t mean that.”

Xie Yingying looked at Principal Chen vigilantly, ”What exactly is it, Principal? If there’s nothing, I need to return to my studies.”

Principal Chen said, ”Yingying, the school has a glorious task for you. If you succeed in this task, your tuition for next year will be fully waived. If not, the scholarship eligibility might go to another student.”

Upon hearing Principal Chen’s words, Xie Yingying’s face immediately changed.
