crew-cut guy looked as if he’d heard an extremely funny joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even thought Ye Chen was bragging, trying to use thirty-three coins to catch eleven dolls—an impossible feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you sure?” the crew-cut guy said provocatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” After Ye Chen finished speaking, he inserted the coin and repeated the previous operation, pressing the red button again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The claw picked up the doll, dangled it above the exit, then released it so it dropped back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Xiaoxiao excitedly retrieved the doll, hugging it to her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, she looked like a little girl who’d gotten her favorite toy, extremely cute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen catch another doll, murmurs erupted around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy’s amazing, he caught another one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I really want that doll too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why does it seem like he’s catching them so effortlessly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crew-cut guy remained calm, smiling as he said, “Kid, you’re really lucky.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen catch a second doll, he still didn’t believe Ye Chen’s skill was strong, he just thought Ye Chen was lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not like no one has ever caught two in a row before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luck, pure luck,” the crew-cut guy concluded as the reason Ye Chen could catch the doll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Song Xiaoxiao’s guidance, Ye Chen managed to use three coins to catch a doll from each machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Song Xiaoxiao already had Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Capricorn—the Monchhichi dolls of these ten zodiac signs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were only missing Aquarius and Pisces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the big plastic bag that Song Xiaoxiao held, filled with adorable Monchhichis,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the girls grew even more envious, and those with boyfriends all looked at their own boyfriends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m so jealous of that girl, I want that doll too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel that girl is really so blissful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That guy is handsome and a claw machine expert, truly fantastic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls looked at Song Xiaoxiao with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and even regarded her as a rival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the boys were angry at heart, they didn’t dare to speak up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the face of absolute skill, they really had nothing to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were them trying to catch, forget ten, they might not even catch one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, they could only seethe in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these boys excluded the crew-cut guy, who didn’t believe Ye Chen’s luck could keep going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that now there were only two dolls left, and if even one wasn’t caught, Ye Chen would lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen moved to a claw machine, and it was filled with Aquarius Monchhichis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He inserted three coins, then performed with the previous technique, the claw seemed to be imbued with magic power as it grabbed the doll and tossed it to the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Caught another one!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Incredible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Turns out there’s skill among the people!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newcomers entering the store were drawn over by Ye Chen too, seeing Song Xiaoxiao’s dolls and now another caught doll, they all praised him without end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crew-cut guy smiled saying, “Not bad, looks like you really have some skills, but you’re still one short, hope you can catch it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said this because just when Ye Chen caught the doll, he took a special look at the Pisces Monchhichi machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dolls there were packed tight, without any gaps, let alone any claws able to catch them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the claw unable to go down, how could one even talk about catching a doll?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crew-cut guy felt this last doll, Ye Chen definitely wouldn’t catch it, he was sure to lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen retrieved the caught doll, handed it to Song Xiaoxiao, then walked forward again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Song Xiaoxiao saw the claw machine in front, her expression darkened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d been to this store several times and certainly knew which placements were easy to catch from and which weren’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dolls in this claw machine clearly belonged to the latter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, it’s impossible to catch this,” Song Xiaoxiao showed a disappointed expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even regretted that before betting between the crew-cut guy and Ye Chen, she should’ve checked each claw machine beforehand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, she was too angry and agreed to the bet for Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This really was true to the saying, “Impulse is the Demon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen calmly looked at the cabinet in front, though this time catching a doll was not impossible, it would be difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wouldn’t be doable for an ordinary person, but for Ye Chen it was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled while patting Song Xiaoxiao’s head saying, “I’ll definitely catch it so you get all twelve and can summon the dragon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen joked as Song Xiaoxiao’s expression slightly eased, she believed in Ye Chen but also should face reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it, it’s not a big deal if Ye Chen loses, I’ll just accompany him in accepting the penalty,” Song Xiaoxiao thought to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen took the remaining three coins from Song Xiaoxiao, ready to insert them, when he suddenly felt his right cheek get wet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around them arose exclamations of surprise, it turned out Song Xiaoxiao had kissed Ye Chen’s cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, that’s really romantic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These two are truly a perfect match.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look, that lady’s face is really blushing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Song Xiaoxiao just kissed Ye Chen, her face was already rather red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all the teasing from everyone, now her face was as red as a ripe tomato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen glanced at the shy girl beside him and said, “With your lucky kiss, I’m determined to catch this doll.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though everyone thought Ye Chen was boasting, that scene just now was really too romantic and moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen inserted the three coins one by one, his expression becoming serious, he gripped the stick to control direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the moving claw, everyone held their breath, the store that had been noisy was now silent again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Ye Chen stopped the stick and pressed the red button, the claw slowly descended as if enchanted with magic, squeezing out a gap through layers of obstacles to pull the doll out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In theory, with this situation, it’s impossible to catch a doll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if caught, it would fall halfway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for some reason, the claw gripped the doll tightly as it moved to the left, only releasing it at the exit, almost like fulfilling a mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Caught it, truly caught it,” Song Xiaoxiao’s eyes sparkled with tears as she joyfully embraced Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone around was so surprised they formed O shapes with their mouths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crew-cut guy was stunned, he never dreamed that under these circumstances Ye Chen could catch the doll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still couldn’t believe the situation in front of him, even suspecting Ye Chen knew the store owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was all planned by Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, you actually tricked me?” the crew-cut guy suddenly shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>",1145,"2026-06-03T08:13:09.113Z","2026-06-03T08:13:14.205Z",1,"novelbin.me","561a34f75f4a26b7687ffef2203d3f992c2e4fa185b8fc53560d39bf157099e4","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-1126","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-1124",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
