118 King Bi (Five Updates, Please Subscribe) Seeing Ye Chen next to the Jetta car, Ma Jincheng looked smug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Jincheng stopped his car beside Ye Chen and glanced at the rundown Jetta next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems Ye Chen really isn’t doing well, otherwise, why would he drive such a lousy car like a Jetta?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, it’s hard not to show off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, long time no see,” Ma Jincheng said triumphantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yo, Jincheng, it has been a while,” Ye Chen replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Jincheng sized up Ye Chen’s clothing and felt even more pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was wearing Hermes worth hundreds of thousands, while Ye Chen’s clothes were obviously no-brand, not even in the same league.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Ma Jincheng wouldn’t have dreamt that Ye Chen’s outfit, which he saw as no-brand, was actually casual wear designed by a Gucci designer personally for him, worth millions, far beyond comparison to his ordinary suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Jincheng felt a little disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ye Chen were successful in his career, he would feel a bit of a challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now Ye Chen seemed so ordinary, completely overshadowed by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Ma Jincheng couldn’t be happier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After parking his car, he happily chatted and laughed with Ye Chen as if they were old friends who hadn’t met in years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the hall, quite a few classmates had already arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Jia, Tian Lili, and Feng Tao were all there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ma Jincheng, Feng Tao said, “Wow, Jincheng, your Hermes outfit must be expensive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, not at all, just over two hundred thousand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, over two hundred thousand, that’s my annual salary,” a classmate couldn’t help but comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just saw you driving a Porsche over here, looking good, doing well,” Tian Lili also said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the compliments from his classmates, Ma Jincheng was very happy, but he laughed and said, “It’s nothing, just a means of transportation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was delighted inside, Ma Jincheng kept a low-key and humble expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the highest form of showing off was doing it invisibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jincheng, which big company are you at right now to be so impressive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, which big company?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a director at Rick Group, a small company.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rick Group, oh my god, that’s a famous venture capital company in Modu, with a market value of 20 billion, how could it be a small company,” Tian Lili couldn’t help but exclaim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve heard of it too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rick Group ranks third in the venture capital field, no wonder you’re so impressive being a director there,” Feng Tao couldn’t resist flattering as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the flattering harmony of the two, Ma Jincheng was extremely pleased inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please continue to flatter me, keep it up without stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Jincheng waved his hand and said, “Alright, our class reunion is not about status, it’s all about feelings, having fun is the most important.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew, the less he mentioned it, the more curious his classmates would become, and that way his show-off effect would be more apparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You don’t want to show off, but others push you to show off, that’s the best show-off effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Jincheng unabashedly enjoyed the admiring glances from his classmates, feeling immensely delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally regained the feeling of being the King Bi he had lost in high school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of these ants, the title of King Bi was well-deserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen had already noticed that Ma Jincheng was constantly showing off, he smiled and said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it comes to showing off, in front of me, you’re just an elementary school student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Jincheng had become the de facto organizer of the reunion, leading the classmates to eat, drink, and have fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The classmates were having a great time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz business car stopped in the parking lot of Yunlong Mountain Villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man in a suit got out of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Cullinan, his eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve seen this car somewhere before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The secretary beside him said, “This car belongs to the owner of the Financial Mansion, Ye Chen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, is he also here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man named Wu Peng was the chairman of Rick Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, Ye Chen’s name had almost become a constant buzz in his ears, often heard at gatherings of business elites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he knew that Ye Chen had just acquired the Financial Mansion and was also the owner of Modu’s commercial pedestrian street, not to mention he was a major shareholder of Yida Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each identity left Wu Peng utterly astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Wu Peng even more determined to befriend Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This chance encounter here, of course, Wu Peng wouldn’t miss it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said to his secretary, “Take a walk around the villa, make sure to find Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” The secretary nodded and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen and his classmates played all morning, and finally, it was time to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lunch consisted of mountain delicacies, wild vegetables, and fresh fish from the lake, a very sumptuous meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Jincheng was very generous, “Everyone, eat as much as you like, don’t stand on ceremony.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, President Ma.” The classmates had fun and ate heartily, becoming even more impressed with Ma Jincheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“President Ma, I heard this fish is a specialty of Yunlong Mountain Villa, one piece costs thousands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Jincheng smiled faintly, “Just a bit over a thousand, not a big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I casually spend over ten thousand on a meal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst everyone’s exclamations, Ma Jincheng once again invisibly showed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen had been chatting and laughing with He Jia the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Jincheng was very displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Jia was the class beauty, and now he was the most successful person in the class; shouldn’t He Jia be by his side?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why should the class beauty hang out with a loser?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Jincheng rolled his eyes and hatched a plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, where are you working at the moment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other classmates looked at Ye Chen and immediately quieted down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Feng Tao and Tian Lili, who were usually quite talkative, said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time at the Hotel, they tried to show off in front of Ye Chen but ended up getting embarrassed, so this time, they naturally wised up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen took a bite of food and said casually, “Me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m driving for DiDi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Driving for DiDi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Jincheng deliberately made an exaggerated sound, “Ye Chen, you’re not joking with me, are you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could you be driving for DiDi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said calmly, “What’s wrong with driving DiDi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I think it’s pretty good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Jincheng deliberately sighed, “Ye Chen, honestly, we’re old classmates, if you’re having a hard time, why didn’t you tell me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re just too concerned about saving face.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen was speechless; how did driving for DiDi become having a hard time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Jincheng was elated inside; this was his great opportunity to crush Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just hadn’t noticed that usually, the show-off-loving and lively Feng Tao and others in the class all lowered their heads involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Feng Tao, who felt a sense of gloating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, he tried to show off in front of Ye Chen and ended up getting a harsh reality check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a feeling that a similar moment of reckoning was about to happen to Ma Jincheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who the hell do you choose to show off to, but you’re trying it with Ye Chen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s truly the King Bi of our class, isn’t he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unaware, Ma Jincheng said proudly, “Ye Chen, you’re the top student of our class, how could you end up in such a sorry state?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not that you lack ability, just the right opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No worries, since we’re old classmates, I’ll give you a hand!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1316,"2026-06-03T08:12:36.328Z","2026-06-03T08:12:40.944Z",1,"novelbin.me","6b86b2c07b77523d9e003cc14d31bb9682dfbb6e694e02ed2abd1ed818d8be2f","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-120","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-118",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
