The environment is pretty good. You can stay for a night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiaozhi paused, not expecting the hotel manager to be so considerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did he speak up for her earlier, but he also let her use his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that he recognized me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiaozhi asked in confusion, \"Do you know me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen paused, \"I don’t know you. Have we met before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he couldn’t admit to knowing Yang Xiaozhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiaozhi was very touched and took the room card, saying, \"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled faintly, \"Everyone encounters some trouble when traveling. This room is something I offer to friends personally, so it doesn’t violate company policy. Everyone’s happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word ’friend’ struck a chord with Yang Xiaozhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she really liked the term ’friend.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen initially intended to have a waiter take her to the presidential suite, but considering the resume system’s prompt, he thought it was safer to accompany her himself to avoid any accidents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Ye Chen smiled and said, \"Let me take you there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen led Yang Xiaozhi to the presidential suite and, upon opening the door, smiled faintly, \"Welcome to your stay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the presidential suite in front of her, Yang Xiaozhi was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so luxurious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Yang Xiaozhi was a big star and had seen many things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This presidential suite was really amazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen led Yang Xiaozhi into the suite and then turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he knew Yang Xiaozhi’s identity and admired her acting skills, Ye Chen understood that Yang Xiaozhi’s personality wasn’t flirtatious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And although Yang Xiaozhi was beautiful, was Ye Chen lacking beautiful women around him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he helped Yang Xiaozhi was merely to reduce some trouble for the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen turned to leave, but suddenly felt someone pull him from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Yang Xiaozhi, looking a bit shy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have anything else?\" Ye Chen asked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he see wrong? Was Yang Xiaozhi that kind of girl?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the fragrance from the woman behind him, Ye Chen was slightly moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Yang Xiaozhi made such a request, should he agree, or should he agree?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiaozhi shyly said, \"Hey, don’t you worry I’m a scammer? That I’ll take all the things from your room?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen felt a bit awkward as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While pretending not to know Yang Xiaozhi, Ye Chen actually knew her identity very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a top actress in Hua Country; how could he worry she’d be a scammer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen continued to pretend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re a girl traveling alone and must face difficulties. The things here aren’t that valuable anyway, losing at most a few thousand dollars. But if you really need help, then I can be a good guy this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, Ye Chen added, \"Alright, have a good rest, I’m leaving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ye Chen attempted to leave again, Yang Xiaozhi grabbed his hand once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a second, since you said we’re friends, let’s officially get to know each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Yang Xiaozhi took off her sunglasses, revealing her exquisite face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Ye Chen was prepared, he was still amazed by Yang Xiaozhi’s breathtaking beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiaozhi was pleased with Ye Chen’s reaction and extended her hand, \"Nice to meet you, I’m Yang Xiaozhi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen paused, \"So you’re Xiaozhi, I’m your fan. I loved watching your movies as a kid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiaozhi smiled, \"You’re so nice. Now we can officially be friends. By the way, what’s your name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m Ye Chen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re Ye Chen, Tong Xiaoya’s friend, right?\" Yang Xiaozhi said excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know me?\" Ye Chen was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiaozhi laughed, \"Of course I know you. Tong Xiaoya is my best friend. She often tells me how handsome and talented you are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen felt a bit awkward, not expecting they were acquaintances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, what a coincidence. Alright, have a good rest, I’m leaving.\" Ye Chen turned to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once again, Yang Xiaozhi stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, Ye Chen, are you Tong Xiaoya’s boyfriend? I heard she left her previous company for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Yang Xiaozhi seemed less like a big star and more like a gossiping young lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen was speechless, \"No, we’re really just friends. Have a good rest, I still have a meeting with employees.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing the door, Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worried that the staff might not serve Yang Xiaozhi well and incur complaints again, Ye Chen called all the staff for a meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, there is a special guest staying in a suite. This guest is very important to our hotel, so serve her well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ye Chen’s words, everyone was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew the special suite was Ye Chen’s private suite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Ye Chen let a beautiful woman stay in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone immediately assumed they understood the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tang even stated publicly, \"President Ye, rest assured, I’ll handle it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the meeting, Ye Chen felt that the staff’s gaze was a bit strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the meeting room, the employees began to whisper among themselves: \"Do you think that girl is the boss’s girlfriend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very possible, she looks quite attractive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We must serve her well; she might become the boss’s wife in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little did Ye Chen know that his unintentional action had led to a misunderstanding among the hotel staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he stepped out of the hotel, Ye Chen’s phone rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Xie Yingying calling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Ye Chen, don’t forget to attend the board meeting tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No worries, I remember. I’ll be there on time tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, I’ll be waiting for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ended the call with a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a news notification popped up on Ye Chen’s phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Famous actor Liu Hua announced yesterday that he has terminated his partnership with Tiange Group. Tiange Group issued a statement urging Mr. Liu Hua to reconsider, or face a complete ban from all platforms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the news, Ye Chen’s lips curled into a slight smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the system finally showing its power, with Liu Hua leaving Tiange, he would naturally join their Light and Shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>",1139,"2026-06-03T08:12:50.638Z","2026-06-03T08:12:53.523Z",1,"novelbin.me","126bcdec758f73738aa2618a988400a96f6cd6a7c00e6a68135c8e2cc69834db","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-522","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-520",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
