Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1473 - 1447: I Have No Confidence

"Sister, I think you misunderstood, I really don’t like men who consider themselves superior."

Xie Yingying rolled her eyes at Liu Tingting and said.

While the two were chatting quietly, Zhou Tao stood up with a smile.

"Classmates, it’s been a week since you joined the poetry club, and everyone should have gotten to know each other a bit."

"At the same time, you’ve made many like-minded friends; our purpose in coming to the poetry club is for literary exchange, learning from each other."

As Zhou Tao spoke, the students who loved literature were incredibly excited.

Everyone sitting here shares a common trait, which is a deep love for literature, already having integrated it into their very being.

Seeing his classmates’ excited expressions, Zhou Tao continued.

"Here’s some good news: Modu City is holding a poetry collection activity open to all university students. The theme is Mid-Autumn, and you can come up with your own title. Manuscripts need to be submitted by next Monday. The time is tight, and the task is significant, so I hope everyone will enthusiastically participate."

"This is an opportunity to showcase your talent."

After hearing this news, the students were even more thrilled. Being selected would prove their capabilities.

As Zhou Tao spoke, he didn’t forget to glance at Xie Yingying sitting in the back.

"I will select a few outstanding authors from the submissions to participate in the Literary Society’s exchange meeting."

Listening to Zhou Tao’s words, everyone present became even more excited.

They could hardly believe their ears.

A murmur of whispered discussions rose from the audience.

"Is what Brother Zhou said true?"

"Yeah, I kind of find it hard to believe."

"Participating in the Literary Society’s exchange meeting is my dream."

Everyone was extremely eager to attend this exchange meeting because they would get to see many famous authors.

These people treated literature as life itself, and to befriend such literary luminaries was something they dreamed about.

Determination to work hard was evident on everyone’s faces.

Xie Yingying, however, remained expressionless, somewhat absent-minded.

"Xie Yingying, are you going to participate?"

Hearing this, Xie Yingying snapped back to reality.

She indeed loved literature, but she never aimed to become famous because of it.

Being asked like this by Zhou Tao left Xie Yingying unsure of how to respond.

"Xie Yingying, don’t be shy. If you have a work, you can share it, and we’ll all appreciate and improve together."

Zhou Tao continued with a smile.

Xie Yingying nodded and said, "Okay, I’ll participate."

"Great, then we’re looking forward to your excellent work."

After leaving the poetry club, Xie Yingying remained silent.

Liu Tingting was getting anxious watching her, "Sister, what’s wrong with you, you seem so distracted."

"I just feel like it’s okay to write for fun as a hobby, but for a competition, I really don’t think I’m good enough."

Xie Yingying expressed her concern.

"Sister, you have so little confidence in yourself. You’re the talent of our school. If you can’t do it, then no one can."

"Besides, you definitely write better than me, right?"

Liu Tingting consoled her with a smile.

"Ah, Tingting, from what you said, are you also going to participate?"

Xie Yingying asked in surprise.

"Yes, I love being part of the action, and this is an event I definitely want to join."

"Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. I have plans tonight, so you should head home too."

Liu Tingting waved her hand as she spoke.

After the two parted, Xie Yingying walked moodily toward the school gate.

She knew that the work would inevitably be shown to others, and if it wasn’t well-written, she would surely be laughed at.

She had already agreed at the poetry club, and not writing would mean going back on her word.

Oh well, whatever happens, happens.

Xie Yingying thought about the topic as she walked, not noticing that someone was following her.

She continued walking, entered her neighborhood, and went upstairs.

The person behind her stopped upon seeing this and didn’t proceed further.

Xie Yingying used the key to open the door and entered the house.

The room was pitch black, so she turned on the living room light.

Suddenly, the room lit up.

Actually, this was the apartment Xie Yingying rented, as her parents were out of town.

Her parents originally wanted her to study locally, but she insisted on going to college elsewhere.

The few girls she was close to were all local students.

Unable to do otherwise, Xie Yingying had to rent a place to live on her own.

It’s quite challenging for a girl to be out on her own.

However, Xie Yingying enjoyed her own company.

Knock, knock, knock—the sound of knocking resonated from outside.

Who could it be at this late hour?

Xie Yingying wondered.

She didn’t immediately open the door but instead looked through the peephole to see the outside light was on, but no one was in sight.

Xie Yingying felt her heart tighten.

The knocking continued several times, yet every time she looked, there was no one there.

At this moment, she was very frightened and didn’t know what to do.

Suddenly, an idea struck Xie Yingying, and she hurriedly picked up her phone to call her best friend.

The phone rang a few times, but no one answered.

She usually had a good relationship with Liu Tingting, and Liu Tingting’s house was also near her neighborhood.

"Tingting, please pick up the phone, please pick up the phone."

Xie Yingying thought anxiously, but ultimately, no one answered her call.

After all, being a girl with a timid nature, Xie Yingying didn’t dare to go out and check, fearing encountering bad people.

Staying at home seemed a safer choice, at least providing some security.

She thought about calling the police, but what would she say when they arrived?

After considering her options, a figure suddenly appeared in her mind.

She took out her phone and dialed Ye Chen’s number.

This was Xie Yingying’s last hope.

If no one answered, she really wouldn’t know who to reach out to for help.

Fortunately, the call was answered quickly.

"Yingying, is something wrong?"

Ye Chen asked as he picked up the phone.

"Brother Ye Chen, I’m at home now, but there’s this knocking sound outside, and I don’t see anyone. I’m a bit scared. Could you come over and keep me company?" Xie Yingying said softly.

She knew, after all, she and Ye Chen weren’t in a romantic relationship, and her request was quite unreasonable.

Hearing no response from the other side, Xie Yingying feared Ye Chen would misunderstand her, thinking she was a frivolous girl.

Just as she was about to say, "Never mind," Ye Chen spoke up: "Yingying, send me your address. I’ll come over right away. Stay in your room and don’t open the door until I arrive. I’ll call when I’m there."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yingying showed an excited expression.

"Okay, Brother Ye Chen, I’ll be waiting at home for you."
