Girl Hitchhiking Ye Chen smiled and said, “I’m free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re not asking me out on a date, are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have a gathering tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else has a boyfriend, but I’m still single,” Tong Xiaoya said, a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you asking me to pretend to be your boyfriend?” Ye Chen said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, but if you don’t want to, then forget it,” Tong Xiaoya replied deliberately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I actually have something else to do tonight,” Ye Chen nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, how can you be like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can’t you just reassure a girl?” Tong Xiaoya said angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen chuckled, “Just kidding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m taking Yang Mimi to the airport tonight, and after I’m done, I’ll come to your gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How does that sound?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don’t show up, I won’t let you off,” Tong Xiaoya said, shaking her fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of an audience, Tong Xiaoya had the aura of an ice-cold beauty, but in front of Ye Chen, she seemed as cute as a lively young girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mimi was going back to Modu tonight, so Ye Chen had to take Yang Mimi to the airport first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Xiaoya made a call, and a Mercedes business vehicle stopped at the crew’s entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the four young actresses in the Hua Country, Tong Xiaoya naturally had her own nanny car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason she kept riding in Ye Chen’s car is that she wanted to spend more time with Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Tong Xiaoya got in the car, her phone rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiaoya, I’m at the airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you come pick me up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Xiaoya was in a dilemma because she had to shoot a few advertisements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were best friends in college.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she doesn’t go, people would think she’s become a diva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Tong Xiaoya’s eyes lit up, realizing that Ye Chen was going to the airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Tong Xiaoya said, “How about this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have some things to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll have my friend pick you up, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your friend?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it your boyfriend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Hu Lili say this, Tong Xiaoya’s face suddenly turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Tong Xiaoya not respond, Hu Lili laughed from the other end, “Haha, it must be, okay, I’ll wait for him at the airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have to see which rich family’s son has tricked our Xiaoya.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, Tong Xiaoya called Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, are you at the airport now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded, “Yes, I’m about to leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a friend who’s coming to Kyoto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s at the airport and will be joining the gathering tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you bring her back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Xiaoya hung up and sent Ye Chen a photo and the other person’s phone number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen looked at the photo and was stunned because the girl in the photo was standing not far away with a suitcase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled and walked up to the beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beauty was also stunned when she saw Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy is so handsome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when she saw Ye Chen’s DiDi uniform, the amazement on her face disappeared instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s no longer a freshly graduated girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been in society for so many years, she knows that handsome guys are just pleasing to the eyes, but for actual use, a wealthy man is much more desirable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen laughed, “Miss, need a ride?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Lili shook her head, “No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said, “Xiaoya asked me to pick you up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re Xiaoya’s friend?” This time it was Hu Lili’s turn to be surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Xiaoya is a star from Hua Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she have a DiDi driver as a friend?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This girl must have found him handsome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll definitely have to talk to her about it later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Lili forced a very awkward smile, “Oh, so you’re Xiaoya’s friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s go then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said, “Want me to help with your suitcase?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Lili shook her head, “No need.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The suitcase isn’t very heavy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Hu Lili’s disdainful look, Ye Chen understood that she obviously looked down on him for wearing a DiDi driver’s uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why are women these days all such gold-diggers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, what car do you drive?” Hu Lili suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was worried that Ye Chen might be driving a beat-up Xiali or something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she’s a person of status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Riding in such a car would be embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen noticed what Hu Lili was thinking and smiled, “Oh, it’s a Xiali.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it’s a bit worn out, it still goes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Lili nearly broke down, thinking it would have been better if she had just taken a taxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now she was stuck in the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, when they got to the parking lot, Hu Lili immediately spotted a beat-up Xiali.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car was rusted all over, and Hu Lili had never ridden in such a rundown car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about having to take this car to attend the gathering, Hu Lili regretted it deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Lili stopped in front of the Xiali, muttering, “Really, how does Xiaoya know a friend who drives a broken Xiali.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Hu Lili’s voice was soft, Ye Chen heard it clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave a faint smile and pressed the key in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to the Xiali, the taillights of a cool Bentley lit up suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Lili was stunned, seeing the Bentley key in Ye Chen’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did she realize she was being played by Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a breath, “I knew it, no way Xiaoya’s friend drives a broken Xiali.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Bentley, Hu Lili’s expression changed dramatically once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you help me put the suitcase in the trunk?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen shook his head, “Nope, if the suitcase isn’t heavy, you can do it yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m quite precious, and never do manual labor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…” Hu Lili realized Ye Chen was retaliating for her bad attitude earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she had no choice but to struggle and hoist the suitcase onto the Bentley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside the car, Hu Lili felt a bit embarrassed, “Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye, I’m really sorry, when I saw you in the DiDi uniform, I thought you were a DiDi driver.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen chuckled softly, “You’re not wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am a DiDi driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, and don’t forget to complete the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I rely on DiDi for a living.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, you must be one of those rich kids experiencing life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve never seen a DiDi driver with a Bentley.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This car was lent to me by a friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s an event tonight, just wanted to keep up appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I actually drive a Xiali,” Ye Chen said with a light laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Lili was stunned once again by Ye Chen’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it turns out it was a borrowed car all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Lili had thought Ye Chen was a wealthy heir experiencing life, but it turned out he really was just a DiDi driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of joke is Xiaoya playing, finding such a boyfriend?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Lili grumbled internally, her attitude towards Ye Chen turning cold once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car arrived at Phantom Bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the agreed-upon gathering spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Hu Lili was about to get out of the car, Ye Chen smiled, “Oh, don’t forget to submit the order and give a Five-Star Review.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So cheap, definitely just a loser driving DiDi,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Lili muttered, then submitted the order and got out of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving a Five-Star Review?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Lili directly gave Ye Chen a one-star rating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving a one-star rating from a gold-digger and earning the system reward of becoming the owner of Phantom Bar]\u003C\u002Fp>",1293,"2026-06-03T08:12:36.049Z","2026-06-03T08:12:40.664Z",1,"novelbin.me","0e39fa5bdca1b03c3284db0a6b20e47fa33430d2575b2b41aa409bdeda68a866","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-30","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-28",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
