Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1210 1185: He Might Be the One

Ye Chen, with his handsome features, and Song Xiaoxiao, possessing youthful beauty, presented a truly captivating spectacle together.

Admiring glances filled the air, with exclamations like, "Wow, they look absolutely stunning as a pair." and "That guy is remarkably handsome."

Seeing Song Xiaoxiao with another person caused heartbreak among the many boys who harbored secret affections for her, lamenting that their campus queen had been claimed by someone from the outside.

Ye Chen appeared slightly troubled by the attention, remarking, "Oh no, perhaps I shouldn't have let you pick me up. I intended to keep things low-key, but it seems I've ended up being a bit too conspicuous."

Song Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Ye Chen, retorting with a playful hmph, "You're making it sound like I'm embarrassing you."

Her charming presence, upon closer observation, instantly mesmerized many onlookers.

Numerous individuals discreetly took out their phones, eager to capture secret photographs of the pair.

Indeed, their striking appearances were so remarkable, they could easily grace any wallpaper.

After strolling around the campus for a while, Ye Chen and Song Xiaoxiao began to feel thirsty.

As luck would have it, a small convenience store was situated just ahead. Ye Chen announced, "Wait here for a moment; I'll go grab some water."

With that, Ye Chen headed towards the convenience store to make his purchase.

Mere moments after Ye Chen departed, a Rolls-Royce gracefully halted at the campus entrance.

A man dressed in a suit emerged from the vehicle and immediately his attention was captured by Song Xiaoxiao, who was seated on a bench, engrossed in her phone.

His eyes widened in admiration, thinking, "Wow, this girl is truly amazing."

His gaze fixed on Song Xiaoxiao, the man approached her with a confident smile.

Positioning himself before Song Xiaoxiao, the man introduced himself with a smug grin, "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Zhang Kai, the CEO of a prominent listed group."

Song Xiaoxiao cast a brief glance at the man but offered no reply.

Noticing Song Xiaoxiao's deliberate ignorance, Zhang Kai felt a flicker of awkwardness and pressed on, "You're waiting for someone, aren't you?"

Song Xiaoxiao looked up, her expression conveying clear disdain for the man before her, her gaze a palpable rejection from afar.

"Yes, I am waiting for someone," she replied coolly. "I apologize, but I'm not interested in conversing with strangers."

Despite the evident embarrassment, Zhang Kai persisted with remarkable audacity, "Your friend hasn't returned yet, has he? We could have a chat. Actually, we're somewhat alumni. I completed my MBA at your school."

Song Xiaoxiao reiterated her polite refusal, "I'm sorry, my friend will be back shortly."

Zhang Kai's brows furrowed, and a sudden thought struck him. "You know, I really can't stand people who are consistently late, especially when it makes a beautiful lady like you wait. It's simply unacceptable. The time spent with someone as exquisite as you is incredibly precious."

The flattery from Zhang Kai did nothing to impress Song Xiaoxiao; instead, her eyes were now filled with growing disgust.

Quite self-assured of his charm, Zhang Kai continued his monologue, "Of course, he gave me an opportunity. I don't mind waiting alongside you. Would you object if I sat here? By the way, that Rolls-Royce is my vehicle, valued at over ten million, and my group boasts a market capitalization in the billions."

In truth, Zhang Kai had encountered aloof beauties like Song Xiaoxiao before.

However, in his past experiences, his displays of wealth had invariably led to immediate capitulation from others.

Song Xiaoxiao regarded Zhang Kai with a sense of incredulity.

She wondered if the man had some sort of problem. Why should his wealth matter to her?

As he spoke, Zhang Kai triumphantly produced a business card and extended it to Song Xiaoxiao, saying, "Miss, please accept my business card."

The card clearly displayed Zhang Kai's company name and his executive title.

Zhang Kai then added, his tone patronizing, "Junior, after you graduate, would you be interested in becoming my secretary? I can offer a monthly salary of one hundred thousand."

Blah, blah, blah.

In essence, Zhang Kai was relentlessly bragging about his accomplishments.

Song Xiaoxiao found this type of pretentious man utterly detestable.

Such individuals irked Song Xiaoxiao immensely.

She glanced at the man before her, then her thoughts turned to Ye Chen.

Although both were accomplished individuals, the disparity between them was immense.

Ye Chen, despite his wealth, remained incredibly low-key and never resorted to showing off.

Just then, Ye Chen returned, carrying the bottles of water.

Upon seeing Ye Chen, Zhang Kai was momentarily stunned.

He realized it was just that delivery guy.

Zhang Kai's jealousy intensified.

He thought, "A successful man like me doesn't even have such a beautiful companion, so how come a delivery guy like you does?"

He looked at Ye Chen with an expression of pure disdain.

"Oh, so he's your boyfriend," Zhang Kai sneered, addressing Song Xiaoxiao. "You shouldn't be fooled by him. He's actually just a delivery guy."

"He's far too inexperienced for someone like you."

Ye Chen let out a chuckle, retorting, "And you're not inexperienced? I'd say you're practically grandpa level, aren't you?"

Grandpa level?

The immense stress from constantly managing his company had caused Zhang Kai's hair to thin dramatically, almost to the point of baldness.

Beside him, a person who had maintained a stoic expression until then suddenly erupted into laughter.

Zhang Kai felt his anger surging, on the verge of losing control.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Alright, let's go."

With that, Ye Chen took Song Xiaoxiao's hand, and they departed, leaving behind the incandescently furious CEO, Zhang Kai.

By ten in the morning, a cadre of lecturers had been summoned to the conference room for an important meeting.

These chosen lecturers were accomplished individuals, specially selected from the current cohort of MBA students.

The entire gathering was personally orchestrated by Principal Chen Lin.

The distinguished guests began to arrive.

Chen Lin, accompanied by other school administrators, personally greeted them at the entrance.

Meanwhile, Zhang Kai was searching for Ye Chen.

Not seeing Ye Chen among the arriving elite.

A cold sweat broke out on Zhang Kai's brow: "So he truly is just a pretty face who relies on his looks, without the standing to attend this prestigious assembly."

Consequently, Zhang Kai felt a pang of deep regret.

It was a pity that Song Xiaoxiao hadn't attended; otherwise, he could have truly impressed everyone.

Presiding over the meeting, Principal Chen Lin addressed Director Li: "Are all the distinguished alumni we invited in attendance?"

Director Li affirmed, "Every one of them is present."

The principal nodded, "Excellent, let us commence the meeting."

Chen Lin stated his purpose directly, "Esteemed alumni, I will be brief. Our institution faces a rather pressing issue. The Yida Group is poised to repossess our laboratory building. We had hoped to continue our lease, but they have refused our request. Does anyone here possess a viable solution to persuade the Yida Group to extend our lease on the laboratory facility?"

Upon hearing Chen Lin's words, a troubled expression settled on the faces of all the alumni present.

The principal's gaze, filled with a glimmer of hope, swept across each of the MBA students.

"Zhang Kai?"

Hearing his name, Zhang Kai's brow knitted in concern.

"Blast it, why am I the first one they're asking about this?"

"This is truly an awkward predicament."

Zhang Kai, feeling flustered, responded: "Well, I do have some acquaintances within the Yida Group, but my influence is unfortunately insufficient. Furthermore, from what I understand, the Yida Group holds this project in high regard, making it highly improbable they would relinquish control."

"Sigh."

Hearing Zhang Kai's hesitant reply, Chen Lin's frown deepened.

He then turned his attention to the other attendees.

One by one, they lowered their heads.

Zhang Kai seethed with frustration internally.

He had come with the intention of showcasing his prowess, only to be met with embarrassment before he even had a chance.

The principal continued to inquire of each individual, but the high-achieving students collectively shook their heads.

An uncomfortable silence permeated the conference room.

Chen Lin was visibly disheartened.

Though he had braced himself for such an outcome, the disappointment was still palpable.

These individuals, so eager to boast, were utterly helpless when faced with a genuine crisis.

Still, Chen Lin could empathize; their capabilities were limited, so what more could he realistically expect?

"Alas, perhaps my expectations were too optimistic."

Chen Lin shifted the focus, "Let us set aside this matter for now. We shall turn our attention to the upcoming school anniversary celebration."

At that precise moment, Vice Principal Sun Zheng stood, announcing: "Principal Chen, I believe I know someone who might be able to assist with this issue!"
