Please Subscribe) 198: Chapter 195 Jealous Basketball Prince (3rd Update, Please Subscribe) Ye Chen chuckled and said, “How about I drive you there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cullinan’s trunk was spacious, so Ye Chen directly put the girl’s bicycle inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, senior brother’s car is so cool.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she got into the car, Xie Yingying was immediately stunned by the luxurious interior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, it’s just so-so.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, what do you do, brother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you a big boss?” Xie Yingying asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, I’m just a DiDi driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why don’t you book a ride and support my work?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A DiDi driver?” Xie Yingying paused for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled out the ride-sharing app and discovered that Ye Chen was indeed a DiDi driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She directly clicked to book a ride, and Ye Chen accepted the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks for your support.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Yingying laughed and said, “It’s the least I can do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without you, today I’d probably be jumping into the Yellow River trying to clear my name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen drove the car, and fifteen minutes later, they arrived at Modu University of Technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The campus was filled with decorations, and a large banner hung at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Modu University of Technology’s 60th Anniversary Celebration.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen parked the car, and Xie Yingying gave him a Five-Star Review without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving a Five-Star Review, activating the third Five-Star Review (3\u002F5) and the reward of Basketball Master.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Ye Chen’s mind, numerous signature moves of NBA stars suddenly flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jordan’s fadeaway jump shot, Kobe’s flying slam dunk, Iverson’s crossover dribble…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having these skills now made Ye Chen capable enough to venture into the NBA.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen and Xie Yingying walked into the campus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Graduation had been four years ago, yet college life still seemed so vivid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Yingying, smiling beside Ye Chen, introduced, “Senior brother, look at that piece of wasteland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, our school wanted to build a sports field there, but unfortunately, that land belongs to Vanke Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The principal has been negotiating for many years, but the Vanke boss just won’t agree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanke Group—that name felt familiar to Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, isn’t the Vanke boss Hu Wan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Modu University of Technology campus is quite small, and the lack of a sports field has always been the students’ biggest regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were chatting when suddenly, a Mercedes drove past them on the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a young man dressed in designer clothes poked his head out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, isn’t this our school’s handsome boy, Ye Chen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the young man stopped the car and got out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen recognized the emerging person as Meng Lang, a college classmate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Meng Lang was the student council president.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, wherever Ye Chen appeared, girls always swarmed around him, the handsome guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Meng Lang very upset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this school celebration, many classmates would return, and the decision not to invite Ye Chen was partly because of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, did the school invite you back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I’m just here to have a look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, I figured, someone who drives a DiDi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would the school invite you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Meng Lang proudly pulled out a glittering invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>See, this is the invitation to the symposium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only our school’s elites can have it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing Meng Lang show off, Ye Chen only gave a faint smile, “Well, congratulations!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enjoy the talks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yingying, let’s continue touring the school.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen didn’t bother with Meng Lang and turned to leave with Xie Yingying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a minute!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xie Yingying in her school uniform, Meng Lang, annoyed, said, “Classmate, you’re the school guide, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must’ve been fooled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only elites like us have dedicated guides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What qualifies him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Meng Lang spoke, he pulled out a business card, “Classmate, I’m the Deputy Director of Dahua Industrial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guide me around the school, and when you graduate, you can look me up for a pretty decent job.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a former student council president, Meng Lang knew the school’s dynamics well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended to snatch the woman beside Ye Chen, embarrassing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl didn’t even take the business card, “Sorry, senior brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not a guide, just a student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll work hard to get a job myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have to show senior brother around the alma mater and have no time to accompany you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the girl smiled and said, “Senior brother, let’s go; I’ll introduce you to our school’s museum.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Lang: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During school, Meng Lang couldn’t compete with Ye Chen due to his looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, thinking his career has succeeded, King returns, yet he still couldn’t compete with Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Meng Lang’s mouth curved with a cold smile, “Having charm with women, so what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The school’s symposium still invited elites like me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen and Xie Yingying walked around the campus as Xie Yingying happily introduced the school’s changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the two passed by the basketball court where some students were playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the players performed a beautiful move and then executed a flying slam dunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience erupted with cheers from the girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy struck a stylish pose, looking triumphant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, upon seeing Xie Yingying cheerfully walking over with a man, his expression immediately turned sour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy’s name was Lu Gang, the captain of the school’s basketball team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Gang had been pursuing Xie Yingying, yet Xie Ying ignored him time and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, seeing Xie Yingying so close to a guy infuriated him immensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To pursue Xie Yingying, he had expended a lot of effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xie Yingying had never smiled at him once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Gang, gripping the basketball, strode toward Xie Yingying and Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yingying, are you here to watch me play basketball?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Yingying glanced at Lu Gang, “You’re imagining things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m showing my senior brother around and just passing by.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior brother?” Lu Gang looked at Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, buddy, interested in a match?” Lu Gang challenged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having just acquired Basketball Master Skills, Ye Chen wanted to test them, so he nodded and said, “Sure, since junior brother invited me, I’ll get some exercise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driving DiDi every day stiffens my body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Driving DiDi?” Upon hearing Ye Chen’s identity, Lu Gang was even angrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a school heartthrob with a wealthy background, he couldn’t catch Xie Ying’s interest, yet Ye Chen, merely a DiDi driver, seemed so close to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, why not forget it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re not even wearing sportswear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Yingying knew Lu Gang’s intention and tried to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Gang smiled faintly, “Yingying, that’s not fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re just playing basketball for fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t worry, I won’t hurt your senior brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Gang deliberately emphasized the last part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen took off his coat and smiled, “Don’t worry, junior sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can play basketball fairly well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, Ye Chen already headed toward the court with Lu Gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Gang, while walking, said to Ye Chen, “Kid, dare to bet something?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen paused, having seen through the boy’s jealousy and understanding that basketball was merely a way to show off in front of Xie Yingying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now with Basketball Master Skills, would he fear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen faintly smiled, “Sure, what do you propose?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Gang’s eyes flashed coldly, “The bet is whoever loses immediately leaves Yingying.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1223,"2026-06-03T08:12:36.328Z","2026-06-03T08:12:40.944Z",1,"novelbin.me","55b549c2ab38e1d9fb0542c1300c1b6614b8f3c45de69851d0c0a975224bd059","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-199","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-197",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
