You should rest early. I’m heading out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, Su Xiaomei, perhaps a bit absent-minded, slipped on the wet floor in the bathroom and fell down with a splash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Ye Chen quickly rushed over and caught Su Xiaomei before she fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Ye Chen holding her, Su Xiaomei looked at his breathtakingly handsome face and couldn’t help but tightly hug him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, as Ye Chen was leaving Su Xiaomei’s house, his phone rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a call from Yang Mimi: \"Ye Chen, it’s Mimi. By the way, about the filming we talked about last time, do you have any time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen then remembered the previous conversation about filming ’Palace Locking Heart Jade’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m quite busy lately. I’m afraid I don’t have time,\" Ye Chen said with some difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, come on, Ye Chen, do me a favor. The director has already said this role is yours and no one else’s.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the director had given Yang Mimi strict orders to convince Ye Chen to play this role, leaving Yang Mimi with no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Ye Chen was indeed too handsome, and Yang Mimi was very eager to collaborate with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Yang Mimi and Ye Chen hadn’t interacted much, she had a very good impression of this handsome man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given this rare opportunity to work together, how could Yang Mimi let it pass?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mimi continued to ask, \"By the way, have you read the script? What do you think of it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen chuckled to himself, thinking, I wrote the script, didn’t I!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I’ve read it. It’s fantastic.\" Ye Chen praised himself without a hint of embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Chen, please film a drama with me. My biggest dream is to shoot a film with a handsome guy like you,\" Yang Mimi started to act coy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen had no choice. Honestly, he didn’t want to participate in shooting such series.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he could adjust his charm value, so even if the film released, lowering it would make nobody recognize him as the TV star, it was too time-consuming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ye Chen had a good relationship with Yang Mimi and Tong Xiaoya. Tong Xiaoya also called yesterday, so refusing was not appropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mimi continued, \"Brother Ye Chen, I’m already calling you brother, and I think you are perfect for the Eighth Prince role. There’s no one whose aura can match yours. The filming is really simple; you only need to dedicate two hours a day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen sighed. Given how Mimi had put it, there was no way for him to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The script was written by Ye Chen, featuring many scenes with him and Yang Mimi, including quite a few kissing scenes. Could it be that this girl has a crush on him and wants to take advantage of the opportunity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Yang Mimi’s fans knew Ye Chen’s thoughts, they’d probably want to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fans get over-excited just from meeting Yang Mimi. Yet, Ye Chen, the one who could do kissing scenes with her, was looking melancholic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mimi was also nervous, waiting for Ye Chen’s response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving a system task. Act in a TV series with 3 billion hits. Completing the task will grant you a chance to draw a prize. Task failure will result in a week of diarrhea.\" (This task cannot be refused.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, the system actually issued a mission today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting 3 billion clicks? This year’s most popular series barely hit 1 billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen sighed, \"Alright, I agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yay, thank you, Brother Ye Chen. I’ll go inform the director now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen was speechless. This girl was all sweet and adorable just a moment ago, and now she’s excessively excited. She’s truly an actress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the previous life, ’Palace’ had already achieved a good rating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen believed that with his divine-level acting, starring in it would surely attract higher ratings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this drama’s script was penned by him, it was produced by his company. And most importantly, there was a task to fulfill, so he had to act whether he wanted to or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what puzzled Ye Chen was that the system always provided rewards only for five-star reviews, and now suddenly there was a system task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mimi was also very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she knew a bit about Ye Chen’s background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t care about money; for him, acting was merely for entertainment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although people in the entertainment industry seemed glamorous in front of the audience, in front of these rich big-shots, they really were nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she didn’t know Ye Chen, he probably wouldn’t have taken the role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having completed the director’s task, Yang Mimi was relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Ye Chen agreed mainly because of the system task; otherwise, he had more important things to do and wouldn’t have time to shoot a series.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen shook his head helplessly, thinking that Yang Mimi’s outgoing and lively personality would make filming with her quite interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mimi found Director Jia Rui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director, Director, I have good news for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Rui looked at Yang Mimi with a faint smile, \"What makes you so happy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Jia was quite fond of Yang Mimi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Yang Mimi was quite popular, she took her acting seriously and didn’t have any celebrity bad habits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most important thing was her very cheerful personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, because of this, there were a lot of online rumors against Yang Mimi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Rui curiously asked, \"What is it that’s making you so happy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mimi said with a smile, \"Ye Chen agreed to act. You know, the actor you spotted the other day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\" Hearing Yang Mimi’s words, Director Jia was delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would I lie to you? I just contacted him, and he’s willing to portray the Eighth Prince’s role.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Rui kept nodding upon hearing it, \"That’s great! With him in it, our series will undoubtedly be a hit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Jia Rui also later learned about Ye Chen’s capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting such a big-shot to act was incredibly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mimi said happily, \"Of course, my influence is significant, and the director you should reward me handsomely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You cheeky girl, fine, today you get half a day off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Director.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Rui looked at Yang Mimi very fondly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Ye Chen wasn’t short of money, so did he agree because he fancies Yang Mimi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a delightful personality and good looks, marrying into a wealthy family with a handsome guy like Ye Chen wouldn’t be bad at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mimi, go for it, seize this opportunity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mimi nodded, \"Okay, I will strive to do a good job with this role.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Rui shook her head, \"I didn’t mean just playing the role well. I meant you don’t have a boyfriend yet, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Jia Rui’s words, Yang Mimi blushed adorably.\u003C\u002Fp>",1218,"2026-06-03T08:12:53.143Z","2026-06-03T08:12:58.899Z",1,"novelbin.me","eb720a20024432320ee64139c1dc20ea13d08b5f65cbc7fa57757ea69dee65ce","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-639","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-637",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
