In front of me, they’re just trash, don’t worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were someone else, they might think Ye Chen is bragging, but Lin Shiyin didn’t feel that way at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s already accustomed to Ye Chen’s confident gaze, if Ye Chen says it’s fine, then it definitely is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This university presidents’ gathering is being held at Modu University. Students were given an advance vacation, so the entire school has only guests and school staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen was just walking into the school when he was stopped by security at the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, your entry pass!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen was stunned: \"Entry pass? I don’t have an entry pass?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, they only sent a notification, but didn’t send him an entry pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security guard shook his head: \"Sorry, without a pass, you cannot enter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly: \"They invited me but didn’t mail me a pass, these guys indeed want to mess with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am the principal of Star University, invited. They might have forgotten to send me the pass.\" Ye Chen explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, without a pass you can’t enter,\" the security guard said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed, the less you want me in, the more I want to go in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood that if he didn’t go, they would surely make a big fuss, claiming he was too afraid to show up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen called Lin Shiyin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Shiyin said: \"These people are too much, I’ll contact them immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Lin Shiyin’s call came back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I couldn’t reach them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s already certain this is definitely a conspiracy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, they simply don’t want him to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, why not mail him the pass?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen turned to the backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls of Modu University aren’t very high, but this height is difficult for ordinary people to climb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen is not ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a few steps back and then leapt directly over the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since you won’t let me in, I insist on entering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen leisurely walked to the auditorium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, many guests had already arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen saw quite a few familiar faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the presidents of those eight prestigious schools he had previously outwitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Modu University’s Principal Shen Qiang saw Ye Chen and paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the other’s gaze, Ye Chen could tell this guy definitely had issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qiang awkwardly smiled: \"Principal Ye, welcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ye Chen said indifferently: \"Welcome? I feel you’re not very welcoming; the security guard at the gate wouldn’t let me in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, how could that be? Wasn’t there a pass?\" Shen Qiang played dumb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said lightly, \"Pass? I only got the invite in my mail, no pass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could that be? It must be a work mistake by our staff, sorry.\" Shen Qiang continued to feign innocence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen laughed lightly, \"No matter, I’ve already come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qiang awkwardly asked: \"Principal Ye, may I ask how you got in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen pointed to the back wall: \"Oh, climbed over. If I want to come, no one can stop me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, a hearty laugh sounded from behind: \"Principal Ye, we meet again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was Jiangsu University’s Principal Zhou Kun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, he sent his school’s five best talents to Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally intended to discreetly learn, but they ended up as dumplings for a dog, gone for good, it nearly pained Zhou Kun to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, seeing Ye Chen made Zhou Kun’s heart itch with vengeance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen gave a light smile, \"Principal Zhou, I must thank you; the students you sent to our school are really excellent and have become key members of several projects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Kun felt a pang in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was indeed a sore spot for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Losing those five elites made Zhou Kun heartache for more than half a month; just when he was about to forget, Ye Chen brought it up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Kun awkwardly smiled, \"Principal Ye, please don’t mention it, every time you do, it pains me. By the way, the theme of this gathering is a poetry contest; let us witness the elegance of Star University’s principal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Zhou Kun’s words, the other presidents all cracked a subtle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their school days, they highly regarded ancient literature and had some accomplishments in poetry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen is different; being in his early twenties, how proficient could he be with ancient poetry? Ye Chen attending is merely making a fool of himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the University Presidents’ Social Gathering began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gathering is grander than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are even live broadcast platforms streaming it nationwide in Hua Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many university students sat in front of computers wanting to see the elegance of their principals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mu walked onto the stage, \"Everyone quiet. Today’s theme for this gathering of principals is poetry. We will draw a theme, then each university president will create poetry on-site. The poems will be published on our website for voting, aiming to promote our national culture; the contest ranks first, friendship second.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the host, Shen Qiang approached a box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled and said, \"This box contains ten topics. I’m going to draw one now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Shen Qiang reached inside and deliberately stirred it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen snorted coldly, fooling ghosts; as the host, who would know if he tampered with it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Shen Qiang took out a piece of paper, opened it, and smiled: \"Everyone, today’s poetry theme is ’moon,’ composing based on the moon, coincidentally fitting the current mood with the approaching Mid-Autumn Festival.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1209,"2026-06-03T08:12:53.143Z","2026-06-03T08:12:58.899Z",1,"novelbin.me","fbc4b8c33c426ee9aae92ae1e39b7385d27f2a69edca6d02d851f5fbd23e1338","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-605","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-603",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
