Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 592: Chapter 566 The Benefactor

Zhang Chuan’s eyes lit up when he heard the principal’s words.

He knew his opportunity to show off had arrived.

Zhang Chuan quickly came in front of the principal and asked, ”Principal, what’s the matter? Facing any difficulties? Rest assured, I’m now the chairman of a billion-dollar group. If the school has any problems, just tell me, I’ll definitely help solve them.”

After hearing Zhang Chuan’s words, the reporters, teachers, and students all had their eyes gleaming, like they’d seen a savior.

Principal Wu was also a bit excited and said, ”Xiao Chuan, can you really help our school?”

Zhang Chuan saw the adoring looks from everyone and was full of pride.

He smiled slightly, ”Principal, rest assured, with me here, no one can tear down our school.”

The principal held Zhang Chuan’s hand, tears of gratitude streaming down his old face, ”Zhang Chuan, thank you so much. If you can save the school, you are the benefactor of all our teachers and students.”

Zhang Chuan smiled slightly, ”Principal, what exactly is going on?”

The principal recounted the story.

It turned out that a developer had just taken an interest in the land and wanted to build an ecological park here, so the school had to be demolished.

Although the principal sought support from various sides, unless someone offered a higher price to buy the land, the school would definitely be torn down.

After hearing the principal’s words, Zhang Chuan smiled slightly, full of arrogance, ”Principal, is this small matter all? Whatever price he offers, I’ll buy the land back, isn’t that enough?”

Zhang Chuan was secretly delighted.

It’s just a piece of land in a poor rural area, how much could it be worth?

Principal Wu was even more excited after hearing this, ”Zhang Chuan, can you really buy it?”

”Of course, who do you think I am? Zhang Chuan, the chairman of a billion-dollar group. A mere piece of land is a piece of cake. By the way, how much is this land?” Zhang Chuan asked.

Principal Wu said, ”Eighty million.”

”What?” Zhang Chuan’s face suddenly changed.

Principal Wu said, ”This land is valued at eighty million, and the real estate company has already bought it.”

Zhang Chuan suddenly felt like coughing up blood.

A damn piece of land costing eighty million, daylight robbery!

Principal Wu held Zhang Chuan’s hand, ”Xiao Chuan, if you can buy this land, it’d be wonderful, all our teachers and students would thank you.”

Zhang Chuan’s face looked extremely ugly.

Actually, he was just boasting earlier.

Now it’s awkward, boasting and getting slapped.

His company’s total assets are just over a hundred million, buying land for eighty million would mean bankruptcy.

What he said about billion-dollar assets was just boasting.

Boasting too high has made it hard for him to step down now.

Zhang Chuan awkwardly said, ”Principal Wu, why is this land so expensive?”

Principal Wu sighed, ”I’ve heard our land is a dragon’s nest valued at double dragons playing in water, that’s why it’s expensive. Right, Zhang Chuan, quickly contact to buy this land.”

Zhang Chuan’s face looked extremely ugly.

Buying this land, what would he use to buy it?

Completely losing his earlier arrogance, Zhang Chuan said avec a grimace, ”Principal Wu, I’m sorry, my current liquid assets are not that much, at most I can put up a million.”

A million?

After hearing Zhang Chuan’s words, Principal Wu was very disappointed.

Others also looked at Zhang Chuan like they were seeing an idiot.

The land costs eighty million, what does your million cover?

At this moment, Ye Chen asked from the side, ”Which company bought this land?”

Beside him, Zhang Chuan snorted coldly, ”Which company, do you have the eighty million to offer?”

Ye Chen didn’t pay any attention to Zhang Chuan, looking at Principal Wu.

Principal Wu sighed and said, ”It’s Yida Group.”

Zhang Chuan sneered, ”You heard? It’s Yida Group, could it be you have acquaintances in Yida Group?”

Ye Chen completely ignored Zhang Chuan’s sarcasm, and directly took out his phone.

Zhang Chuan sneered, ”Yida Group’s Chairman Wang, the number one big boss in Hua Country, can you know him?”

Ye Chen smiled lightly, ”You don’t believe it?”

”Like I’d believe you,” Zhang Chuan snorted coldly.

Ye Chen nodded slightly, and directly turned on the speaker.

The phone rang a few times, then connected.

”Hello, is this Chairman Wang? It’s Ye Chen, by the way, did you recently take a piece of land in Jade Town planning to develop an ecological park?”

”Indeed, Younger Brother Ye, are you interested in that land too?”

Ye Chen said, ”Yes, my elementary alma mater is here. If you’re going to dismantle the school, the children here will have to go to a school over ten kilometers away, which is too inconvenient.”

”Ah, is there such a situation? I wasn’t aware at the time. Since Younger Brother Ye has spoken up, could I possibly continue the development regularly, and specifically prepare a piece of land for the school nearby and build a new school?”

Ye Chen replied, ”That would be great.”

”Okay, I’ll inform the lower levels immediately.”

”Chairman Wang, thank you, consider it a favor I owe you.”

”Haha, Younger Brother Ye, no need to be so formal, we are all family, you are a major shareholder of Yida Group.”

The call ended, leaving the site in dead silence.

Zhang Chuan was dumbfounded.

A group of students was shocked.

The principal and students, along with teachers, all looked at Ye Chen in disbelief.

You know, they had reported this issue to the higher-ups before, and the result was that they couldn’t build a school here.

Yet with a single call from Ye Chen, all problems were solved.

The most important thing was, what did Chairman Wang just say?

Ye Chen is a major shareholder of the company?

This is just too impressive.

Li Ruqi looked at Ye Chen incredulously.

Originally, when Ye Chen said he was a DiDi driver, Li Ruqi wasn’t surprised.

Actually, after graduation she was merely an elementary school teacher.

But what she valued more was the feelings between classmates.

Li Ruqi never dreamed that Ye Chen had such a strong background.

Yida Group, one of the top ten enterprises in Hua Country, and Ye Chen is a major shareholder.

Zhang Chuan’s expression became even uglier at this moment.

He was at most a local tycoon in a rural area.

How could he compare with Yida Group, a billion-dollar group?

Ye Chen is a major shareholder, while he is nothing in front of Ye Chen, just trash.

Thinking back to how he recklessly boasted in front of Ye Chen just now, Zhang Chuan’s face went red, wishing he could find a hole and crawl into it.

The principal held Ye Chen’s hand tightly, ”Ye Chen, we really thank you, you are the benefactor of all our teachers and students.”

Ye Chen shook his head, ”Principal Wu, don’t say that, back then you came to the town, door to door doing work, allowing kids to attend school, you are our benefactor.”

A round of applause erupted on the scene.

The young students lined up: ”Thank you, Mr. Ye.”

Teachers were all tearful.

The reporters captured the entire scene, some even had their eyes wetted.

As for King Bi Zhang Chuan, nobody paid him any mind.

You claim to be a billionaire, yet can’t come up with eighty million, clearly a phony boasting faker.

When your show-off act gets exposed, it’s the most humiliating and contemptible.

Ye Chen continued, ”Principal, I’ve already discussed with Chairman Wang, we’ll use the best materials for our school buildings. I’ll make our Jade Town Elementary School the most modern school, letting the children attend classes comfortably.”

This video was posted online by reporters, Ye Chen became popular again.
