cleaner’s vehicle had bumped into Ye Chen’s car due to insufficient braking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he went out with Su Wanyi, Ye Chen drove his Cullinan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cleaning vehicle left a mark on the Cullinan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ye Chen got out of the car, he saw the elderly man was shivering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the elderly man didn’t recognize the Cullinan, he could tell from the shape of the car that it wasn’t cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some onlookers gathered around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, this elderly man is really unlucky to hit a Cullinan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I heard this car costs over ten million; this scratch would cost at least ten thousand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten thousand, this is a Cullinan; paint repair requires importing paint from abroad, it would cost at least a hundred thousand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the crowd’s discussion, the elderly man’s face turned even paler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He worked as a cleaner, getting up at four or five in the morning, earning only two or three thousand a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had to pay a hundred thousand, he’d probably lose his retirement savings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen glanced at the car body, then looked at the shivering elderly man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elderly man said, \"Young man, I’m sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said, \"Elderly man, how could you be so careless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s my fault, I nodded off getting up too early in the morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Ye Chen turned and walked toward the Cullinan, directly pulling out a wrench from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen’s demeanor, the surrounding crowd was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, this young man is too outrageous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, even though the elderly man hit his car, it’s not necessary to hit someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, it’s arrogant just because he’s rich.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Su Wanyi frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ye Chen really acted against the elderly man, even she couldn’t forgive Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ye Chen walked past the elderly man, straight to the cleaner’s vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen symbolically banged on it twice, then said, \"Alright, elderly man, we’re even now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\" The elderly man was first stunned, then showed an excited expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young man, this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen lightly smiled, \"Elderly man, you hit my car, I hit your vehicle, now we owe each other nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd on site was initially stunned, then realized what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turns out the young man was letting the elderly man go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The young man did a great job.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truly a good person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give the young man a thumbs up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warm applause erupted at the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen lightly smiled and got back into the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wanyi laughed, \"Ye Chen, you’re truly kind-hearted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Ye Chen could only repair the car scratch himself, and although he had money, not every rich person could be so broad-minded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone even posted a video of this incident online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So touching, this is true social positivity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, so moving!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Initially, I thought the young man would hit someone, but the ending is so heartwarming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Ye Chen continued driving for DiDi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just finished one ride and received a call from Lin Shiyin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Principal Ye, can you come to the school?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has something happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Shiyin smiled wryly, \"You’ll know when you arrive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen drove his car into the school and was greeted by a middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Principal Ye, hello, I’m Zhou Kun, the principal of Zhejiang University.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Principal Zhou, hello.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhejiang University is also one of the best universities in Hua Country, located close to Modu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, as the other party is also a principal, Ye Chen could only offer a friendly greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen asked curiously, \"Principal Zhou, what brings you so far to Modu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Principal Ye, I’m here this time because....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, another car stopped, \"Old Zhou, you were quite fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Kun saw the person and his expression turned serious, it was Fudan University’s principal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen was quite puzzled, what were all these principals from prestigious schools doing coming to his own school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Lin Shiyin just called him, there were a few principals in the principal’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let’s go talk in my office together then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving at the principal’s office, there were already eight principals gathered in Ye Chen’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These eight principals were all from 985 schools in Hua Country, renowned figures in the education field, all gathered in Ye Chen’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen asked, \"What exactly do you principals want from me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Kun stood up and said, \"Principal Ye, we want to send some students to your school for exchange.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other principals had the same purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Student exchange?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen was stunned; these were prestigious schools, why suddenly have academic exchange with his grassroots university.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Principal Ye, we’ve come with sincerity, I guarantee we’ll send our best students,\" Fudan University’s principal also earnestly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other principals also promised that they’d send their school’s elites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Principal Ye, our computer science students are the number one in Hua Country,\" Kyoto University’s principal remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our new energy program is also well-known in Hua Country.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The principals from eight schools were all competitive, afraid Ye Chen would give the opportunity to another school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It nearly ended up in a fight among the eight principals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen now understood, because Star University received the national highest award for scientific research, their purpose was to have their students learn and improve their school’s research capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, academic exchange among universities is very normal, Ye Chen had no reason to refuse this kind of thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, Ye Chen readily agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter posed no harm to Star University, and those coming to Star University would certainly be the best students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since these universities voluntarily came, how could Ye Chen easily let it slip by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I agree, but the number can’t be too many, I’ll give each school only three slots.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen knew only by limiting the slots would these principals send their best elites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, once these elites came to Star University, it wouldn’t be easy for them to return!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These principals frowned upon hearing only three slots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Principal Ye, three slots is too few, couldn’t it be ten at least,\" Zhou Kun said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, given the school exchange, it’d be better if there were more students,\" the other principals echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about this, as long as Star University is willing to increase the slots, we are willing to add extra funding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, the slots are too few.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said, \"Like this, one school gets five slots, this is the final offer, if it’s unacceptable, then forget it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, the principals had no more to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Ye Chen had compromised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five is better than three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, these principals discussed the exchange student’s details before departing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these principals looked at each other with hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the others hadn’t come, perhaps their school could’ve had a few more slots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Star University, these principals began selecting the top students from their schools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the most outstanding talent in the school, because these students were on a mission.\u003C\u002Fp>",1181,"2026-06-03T08:12:36.329Z","2026-06-03T08:12:40.945Z",1,"novelbin.me","bb6de3b315025d4ca90a0540cf1966d931b10ef9cb1e5e066e18aef08b5fe27c","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-494","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-492",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
