This is Ye Chen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, does President Ye have any business?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We have someone named Zhang Shuai in our company, right?” Ye Chen said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, he’s in charge of the marketing department, quite capable in business,” Chen Guang quickly replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I believe a company should focus on character before business. For employees with poor character, regardless of their business abilities, we can’t let them do whatever they want.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Ye Chen, Chen Guang had already guessed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, Chen Guang had received quite a few complaints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because Zhang Shuai was very capable and sent gifts during holidays, he suppressed them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“President Ye, did Zhang Shuai do something he shouldn’t have?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen coldly replied: “I have a friend who works at our company, and Zhang Shuai has been harassing her. This kind of person should be fired.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Guang’s expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen is a major shareholder in the company, and he could fire even Chen Guang with just a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Guang quickly said, “Yes, President Ye, I’ll handle it right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shuai looked at Ye Chen making the call and sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, I’ve seen enough of these pretentious tricks, just calling someone and pretending it’s President Chen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhang Shuai was being arrogant, his phone rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zhang Shuai’s expression changed; he suddenly had a bad feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the phone; it was indeed a call from President Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“President Chen, is there something you need?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Guang coldly replied, “Zhang Shuai, you’re fired.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Why?” Zhang Shuai’s face turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why, you ask? Why don’t you ask yourself? Are you with Ye Chen right now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shuai looked at Ye Chen and then nodded, “President Chen, he’s just the owner of the Bauhinia Hotel…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? President Ye is also the owner of the Bauhinia Hotel?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhang Shuai’s words, Chen Guang gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhang Shuai, let me tell you, Mr. Ye is not only the owner of the Bauhinia Hotel but also a major shareholder in our company. Now do you understand why you were fired?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time Zhang Shuai was completely dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The call ended, and Zhang Shuai knelt on the ground in front of Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chairman Ye, I was wrong. Please give me another chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen snorted coldly, “A chance? What about those girls you played with? How could I possibly keep a scourge like you in the company?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Ye Chen said to Qin Yao and Tian Ling, “Now no one in the company will harass you again. You can work in peace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhang Shuai kneeling, Qin Yao and Tian Ling were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, they also heard some information from the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen is actually a major shareholder in the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about how Ye Chen is also the boss of Bauhinia Company, they were both shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turns out this DiDi Brother is indeed a big shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dining patrons who witnessed the scene were also all stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the girls, looking at Ye Chen with glowing eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh my God, this guy is so handsome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s handsome, rich, and has a sense of justice. I’m going to pursue him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yao fell even more in love with Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just Qin Yao, even Tian Ling admired Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen sent the two back to school, and the way they looked at Ye Chen had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, they thought Ye Chen was just a DiDi Brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after this meal, they realized how terrifying Ye Chen’s identity was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yao blushed and said, “Big Brother Ye Chen, thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled faintly, “Thank me for what? It’s my duty to clear out the company’s trash.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can I hang out with you again later?” Qin Yao nervously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, Qin Yao thought Ye Chen was just a DiDi Brother, so they were on the same level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now after learning Ye Chen’s identity, Qin Yao felt she might not match up to Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen laughed, “Of course you can, call me anytime, or you can find me for a ride.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yao chuckled, “Asking the boss for a ride, that’s just…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen drove away, and Qin Yao gave Ye Chen a Five-Star Review.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving a Five-Star Review, activating the fourth good review star, and awarding the Miaoya Live Stream platform.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miaoya Live Stream is one of the largest streaming platforms in Hua Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The live streaming platform is currently thriving, featuring travel, food, and plenty of game streamers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ye Chen received a call from an unfamiliar number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the call connected, a somewhat awkward Chinese voice came through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, is this Mr. Ye?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, it’s me. You are?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Cui Longzhu, the CEO of Korea’s Blue Hole Company.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen then remembered that he indeed acquired some shares in Blue Shield Company a while back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, hello.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chairman Ye, I apologize for contacting you so late. We’re currently thinking about how to enter Hua Country’s gaming market. Do you have any good ideas?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen replied, “I do have some thoughts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Longzhu said, “Mr. Ye, please go ahead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right now, college students are the ones playing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds the most. I think we can organize a college competition with high rewards and broadcast it on live streaming platforms. This would definitely broaden the market for this game in Hua Country.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Cui Longzhu’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Ye, your idea is excellent. I will start preparing for a PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds college competition immediately and contact a live streaming platform.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled, “No need to contact a streaming platform; I happen to have Miaoya Live Stream under me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, Mr. Ye, you’re the owner of Miaoya Live Stream. This is fantastic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, Ye Chen arrived at Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Star University’s esports training room, Sun Ze was leading students in intensive training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen, everyone stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Principal Ye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled and nodded, “I have good news for you. Blue Hole Company is going to hold the first college PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds esports competition in Hua Country soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, really,” Sun Ze jumped up excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded, “I believe that through this competition, Hua Country’s esports market will definitely open up, and you all have a great chance to become professional esports players.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ze and the other team members were very excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they understood, they could only show their talent on the competition stage after so much training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This esports competition, thanks to Ye Chen’s support, had full backing from Blue Hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first prize was a million, the second prize five hundred thousand, and the third prize one hundred thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was even an organization award to encourage various schools to participate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news of Hua Country’s first esports competition spread throughout Hua Country immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>",1202,"2026-06-03T08:12:36.328Z","2026-06-03T08:12:40.945Z",1,"novelbin.me","13134977d51c52fd65063ca1f352ae6b987ccae1ae85b9558c47c11fa8d76083","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-349","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-347",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
