If you refuse again, I’ll get angry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen didn’t give Li Yangyang another chance, directly telling her this was the final outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, since you’ve received the car, the matter is resolved, and I have to go now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ye Chen turned to leave, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, \"By the way, if anyone dares to bother you because of this, you can come directly to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Ye Chen was about to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yangyang was stunned, biting her lip and called out, \"Wait a minute.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen asked, \"Is there anything else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yangyang felt quite confused at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said, \"The car has been given to you, so there’s no reason to take it back. If you still don’t want it, you can smash it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Li Yangyang understood that if she kept refusing, Ye Chen might get upset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yangyang opened her mouth as if to say something, but Ye Chen didn’t give her the chance to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is my compensation for you. You can’t expect me to return it. Besides, I’m not lacking money, so the car I promised to give you naturally won’t be taken back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, I can accept the car, right? Can I invite you to dinner?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen thought this silly girl would refuse again, but unexpectedly, she wanted to dine with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This request was appealing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yangyang continued, \"Yesterday, I crashed your car and not only did you not blame me, but you also gave me a car. So I’m inviting you to dinner as a thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just dinner?\" Ye Chen asked in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a playful smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen’s expression, Li Yangyang blushed and said, \"Of course, just dinner, nothing else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen teased, \"Don’t worry, I’m not like other men. Giving you a car is something you deserve; I have no other thoughts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, upon hearing this, Li Yangyang felt a little disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, since it’s just dinner, you pick the place, and I’ll come over then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yangyang thought for a moment and said, \"How about tonight at Xinxin Barbecue in front of our school?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Li Yangyang offered to treat, she was really strapped for cash at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A barbecue meal would cost three to four hundred, which was already a big expense for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yangyang nervously watched Ye Chen, worried he might think she was being stingy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled lightly and said, \"Sure, no problem. I’ll be there on time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Ye Chen, he used to frequent such barbecue places often, and the taste of the barbecue was entirely different from that of a large restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That feeling could never be found in a fancy restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, with a beautiful woman treating, there was no reason to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you two going in my car, or driving yourselves?\" Ye Chen asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll take your car.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Xinxin Barbecue was quite a distance from the school, Li Yangyang directly said so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the sports car, Li Yangyang felt it would be too conspicuous to drive it now, so she said, \"Then I’d rather take your car.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Song Wei had long felt the unusual relationship between the two, considering herself the third wheel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Ye Chen was really handsome, and she felt a bit under pressure with her looks compared to the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wei said, \"Yangyang, why don’t you go by yourself? I won’t join.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yangyang pulled Song Wei back, \"No way, you have to come with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the rumor had spread in school that a rich guy gifted her a car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she went with Ye Chen now, it would confirm the rumor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Song Wei tagging along, everything would be easier to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having no choice, Song Wei accompanied Li Yangyang to the school entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen’s Jili car, both Li Yangyang and Song Wei were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled and said, \"Get in the car, welcome to DiDi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wei incredulously said, \"You can’t be driving DiDi, can you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded, \"Why not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wei looked puzzled, and Li Yangyang was equally baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would someone who gifts sports cars be driving for DiDi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, driving for DiDi is my pastime, it allows me to chat with all kinds of people. I think it’s great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then, should I show my support?\" Li Yangyang laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, just remember to give me a five-star review later on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While driving, Ye Chen chatted with the two girls, and they quickly became familiar with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wei was surprised at how warm and engaging this handsome guy was, not giving her any cold shoulder despite her not-so-good looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Ye Chen drove them to Xinxin Barbecue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yangyang promptly gave Ye Chen a five-star review.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving a five-star review, activating the third five-star praise star, and gaining the Divine-level Director.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet another five-star review activated, making the car gift well worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them arrived at the barbecue place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This barbecue spot was very popular, mostly frequented by students in the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them found an empty table and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yangyang awkwardly said, \"Ye Chen, isn’t this place a bit too low-end?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen shook his head, \"Not at all, I think it’s great. Here, it feels like I’m back to my university days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yangyang smiled; even though Ye Chen was wealthy, he didn’t have any airs, and being with him felt very comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they ordered food, and as the dishes came, the three chatted while eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen chatted with the two ladies, feeling as if he were back in his college days. It was a wonderful feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Song Wei was a bit reserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Ye Chen was someone who could casually give away a Ferrari.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the conversation went on, she got into it and began to relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wei started probing into Ye Chen’s background for Li Yangyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like what kind of business he was in, and who made up his family...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wei seemed quite nosy. Fortunately, Li Yangyang was sensible, stepping in if things went overboard to stop Song Wei from speaking too freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a voice came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yangyang, it’s you guys.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yangyang turned around and saw a flamboyantly dressed girl walking over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were in the same class, Li Yangyang smiled and greeted, \"Tian Mengmeng, you came for barbecue too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Li Yangyang’s brow noticeably furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Mengmeng was the type who was very materialistic and gossipy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily she had brought Song Wei; otherwise, she couldn’t imagine how Tian Mengmeng would exaggerate this story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Mengmeng looked Ye Chen up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused for a moment, then seemingly recalled something and tentatively asked, \"This handsome guy must be the rich guy who gifted Yangyang a sports car, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1212,"2026-06-03T08:12:36.329Z","2026-06-03T08:12:40.945Z",1,"novelbin.me","e769d7c9127beaf113ca7d1e2f083acdba2fc56b37d60285cb925a783e840710","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-477","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-475",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
