Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1211 1186: Mr. Ye Is the Elite of Our School

"Principal Sun, who is this important person you are referring to?" Chen Lin inquired, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Sun Zheng responded, "This individual is also a participant in our MBA program, though they were absent."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin cast an unhappy glance toward the director of academic affairs. "What is the meaning of this? How could such a significant student not be invited?"

Chen Lin appeared aggrieved, stating, "Director Sun, that is not the case. I extended invitations to all the outstanding students within the MBA cohort."

Principal Chen addressed Chen Lin, asking, "Who is this person you are speaking of?"

Sun Zheng stated with gravity, "The person I am referring to is named Ye Chen."

Ye Chen?

The mention of this name caused a ripple of surprise throughout the MBA class, with students exchanging bewildered glances.

How could it possibly be him.

During the initial self-introductions within the class, Ye Chen had identified himself.

He had mentioned that he was a food delivery person.

Considering that they were all established business figures, and even they felt at a loss regarding the situation, how could a mere food delivery person possibly have any connection to the Yida Group?

"Principal Sun, you must be joking. Ye Chen is merely a delivery driver; what significant role could he possibly play?" Zhang Kai interjected.

"Precisely. The only conceivable link he has with Yida Group is likely delivering their meals."

"It's quite amusing to imagine a delivery person having such influence that the Yida Group would relinquish a project valued in the tens of billions."

"Then this delivery person must possess an extraordinary level of influence."

The surrounding students couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity.

Chen Lin's brow furrowed upon hearing this. "Sun Zheng, we are discussing a matter of considerable seriousness. Is this truly the appropriate moment for jest?"

Sun Zheng explained, "Principal Chen, you may be unaware, but I have certain connections with Ye Chen's father-in-law, and it was I who facilitated his admission to this institution. His father-in-law is Li Lei."

The revelation of this name caused those who had been ridiculing Ye Chen to freeze, their faces etched with disbelief.

Sun Zheng continued, "Furthermore, from what I understand, Ye Chen's work as a food delivery person is merely a form of experiential learning. His background is far from ordinary."

The atmosphere in the room became utterly still upon hearing Sun Zheng's words.

Those who had previously belittled Ye Chen turned pale with shock.

They had never conceived that Ye Chen possessed such a substantial background.

Principal Chen's eyes widened with interest at Sun Zheng's statement.

"Why are you all standing around? Go and invite Mr. Ye over immediately. On second thought, I shall go and extend the invitation myself."

At this critical juncture, Ye Chen represented Modu University's last hope.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen and Song Xiaoxiao were seated on the sports field, observing a casual soccer match among some young men.

Song Xiaoxiao's attention was entirely captivated by Ye Chen.

She found the man beside her, Ye Chen, to be exceptionally handsome – she could not take her eyes off him.

Just then, a young man in athletic attire, accompanied by several of his soccer teammates, approached them.

The young man's gaze was fixed intensely on Song Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, you came to watch me play?"

Song Xiaoxiao responded with a shake of her head. "You're mistaken. I'm simply accompanying my friend while we take in the scenery here."

Taking in the scenery?

The young man felt directly rebuffed.

He dared not incur Song Xiaoxiao's displeasure, so he redirected his frustration toward Ye Chen.

"Hey, you. You're not a student here, are you?"

Ye Chen affirmed, "And what concern is it of yours?"

The young man scoffed coldly. "Xiaoxiao, nowadays, some individuals falsely present themselves as successful elites solely to deceive young women like you. Did he perhaps claim to be the CEO of some company?"

Regarding the young man with an expression of mild amusement, Song Xiaoxiao stated, "Wu Bo, you are truly overthinking things. I am well aware that Ye Chen is a food delivery person."

A food delivery person?

Instantly, the young man's expression turned exceedingly displeased.

He had intended to expose Ye Chen for posing as a successful individual, but he had not anticipated that Ye Chen would openly admit to being a delivery driver.

The rejection was palpable and swift.

"Xiaoxiao, do not allow this fellow to deceive you. He is merely a delivery driver; what kind of future can you possibly envision with someone like that?"

Rolling her eyes at Wu Bo, Song Xiaoxiao retorted, "What business is it of yours who I choose to be with? Who do you think you are? What right do you have to interfere?"

"I..." Wu Bo found himself speechless once more.

Unable to best Song Xiaoxiao in an argument, Wu Bo shifted his attention back to Ye Chen.

"Listen here, I don't care what methods you employed to ensnare Song Xiaoxiao. She is the undisputed campus belle of our university; how can we permit an outsider to monopolize her attention?"

Wu Bo, with his cunning, immediately positioned Ye Chen as an adversary to all the male students.

A considerable crowd had already started to gather, drawn by the unfolding scene.

Upon hearing Wu Bo's assertion, they readily concurred.

"Indeed, we cannot allow our own prospects to be snatched away by outsiders."

"What are the school security personnel doing? Didn't they announce that unauthorized individuals are prohibited from entering?"

"Get this person out immediately."

The surrounding students began to vocalize their displeasure in unison.

Wu Bo's expression turned smug; his objective had been met.

Song Xiaoxiao glared fiercely at Wu Bo, demanding, "Wu Bo, what is the meaning of this?"

Wu Bo fixed his cold gaze upon Ye Chen and declared, "Kid, if you have any backbone, stop hiding behind a girl. Step forward, and let's have a proper duel."

"A duel? You intend to fight me?" Ye Chen noted the arrival of several suited individuals in the distance and, recognizing them as school administrators, deliberately posed the question.

Unaware of the approaching figures behind him, Wu Bo puffed out his chest and proclaimed, "Indeed, a fight. If you best me in a one-on-one confrontation, I'll let the matter rest. However, should you falter, you must depart from this school without delay."

At that precise moment, a stern voice cut through the air, "Wu Bo, whom do you intend to challenge? As an official of the student union, are you openly orchestrating a brawl?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Wu Bo's countenance shifted dramatically.

He whirled around, only to find Chen Lin approaching alongside several senior members of the school's administration.

The sight of the school's leadership rendered Wu Bo utterly speechless.

Principal Chen was widely known throughout the institution for his unyielding discipline.

It was a well-established fact that anyone summoned to his office rarely left without facing considerable reprimand.

Consequently, the student body held him in significant apprehension.

Adopting an awkward posture, Wu Bo stammered, "Principal, that was not my intention. This individual is an outsider who is attempting to seduce one of our female students. I merely sought to have him expelled from the school."

Ye Chen remarked nonchalantly, "So, you are indicating that my presence is unwelcome here? In that case, I shall depart."

Having uttered these words, Ye Chen made a motion as if to leave.

Principal Chen swiftly reached out and detained Ye Chen.

"Mr. Ye, please do not harbor resentment towards a junior. I assure you, I will provide a complete explanation regarding this incident."

As he spoke, Chen Lin's gaze hardened as he directed it towards Wu Bo.

"Which of your eyes perceived Mr. Ye as an outsider? He is currently enrolled in our school's MBA program. And you, a student union officer, instead of embodying exemplary conduct, engage in such behavior? Effective immediately, you are relieved of your position as student union president. Furthermore, you are required to draft a written self-criticism and recite it publicly on the school grounds tomorrow."

"What?" In his wildest imaginings, Wu Bo could never have conceived that the principal would dismiss him from his prestigious role for the sake of Ye Chen.

"Principal Chen, he is attempting to seduce a student from our school. As an officer of the student union, is it not my duty to intervene in such a situation?"

Principal Chen Lin emitted a cold snort. "Since when has he been seducing any schoolgirl? It was I who arranged for this particular student to provide Mr. Ye with a tour of the campus."

"I..." Wu Bo found himself utterly bewildered.

Chen Lin's expression turned increasingly severe. "After classes conclude today, report to the principal's office. We need to have a thorough discussion."

Upon hearing that Wu Bo had been summoned to the principal's office, the gazes cast upon him by the other students were filled with a mixture of pity and apprehension.
