If you want to learn, I can teach you, but no need for such formalities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the young man in front of him said so, Elder Zhao didn’t force the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up and sighed, “Alright then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Zhao, my name is Ye Chen, and here’s my contact information. You can reach out anytime if you have any medical questions.” Ye Chen handed a slip of paper with his phone number to the old man in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Zhao excitedly took the slip and said repeatedly, “Great, great.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, police sirens sounded. Ye Chen had already called the police, but he didn’t want them to ask too many questions, so he decided to leave first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Zhao, I’ll leave this thief to you, I have other things to attend to.” Ye Chen gestured towards the passed-out thief on the ground and bid farewell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Ye, take care.” Elder Zhao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Ye Chen didn’t take Elder Zhao as a disciple, from the old man’s perspective, he already saw Ye Chen as a mentor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, what’s all this about?” Ye Chen muttered to himself as he walked down the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought to himself, trying to help a girl, and almost ended up with a disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen approached the Cullinan, about to open the door and get in, when he noticed the girl from earlier following him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you following me instead of going home?” Ye Chen asked the girl in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big brother, it’s hard to get a cab now, and my foot still hurts a bit. Could you take me home?” Sun Xiran blushingly asked Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl had followed along, and if he didn’t offer her a ride, it would seem unmanly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s already late, and it’s not safe for a girl to be out alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, get in, and I’ll take you home.” Ye Chen said, somewhat helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He initially planned to go home and rest but now had to take the girl home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when it comes to beautiful and kind-hearted girls, Ye Chen usually agrees to their requests and doesn’t refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, big brother.” Sun Xiran said sweetly as she sat in the passenger seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give me your address.” Ye Chen glanced at the girl beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I live in Xuguangli District.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, got it.” Ye Chen nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen drove along and suddenly heard the girl’s stomach growling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Xiran hurriedly covered her stomach, looking embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You must be hungry. How about we grab some food first?” Ye Chen said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need, it’s no trouble, I can just eat at home.” Sun Xiran quickly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt she had already inconvenienced Ye Chen a lot today and was too embarrassed to ask him to treat her to a meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m actually hungry too. Let’s eat, and I’ll take you home afterward.” Ye Chen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then asked, “What do you like to eat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought it better to base the meal choice on the girl’s preferences, as he wasn’t particularly picky about food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anything is fine, whatever.” Sun Xiran said quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen knew he wouldn’t get a specific answer, so he might as well decide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After driving for a while, they arrived at the entrance of a western restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen parked the car and said, “Let’s eat here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Xiran got out of the car and walked into the western restaurant with Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The western restaurant had a very romantic decor. Ye Chen found a vacant seat and sat down, with Sun Xiran across from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the restaurant, Sun Xiran’s eyes showed surprise. It was her first time in such an upscale restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To save time, Ye Chen ordered some dishes he thought were delicious, as even asking Sun Xiran would not yield a different answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Ye Chen, isn’t this a bit extravagant?” Sun Xiran had caught a glimpse of the prices on the menu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen waved his hand and said, “It’s nothing, as long as you enjoy it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While waiting for the food, Ye Chen’s phone rang. He glanced at it and saw it was Su Qing calling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought, why is this girl calling now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiran, I’m going outside to take a call, wait here for a moment.” Ye Chen pointed at the phone and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped out of the restaurant and pressed the answer button, “Xiaoqing, is there something wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, where are you? Let’s talk in person.” Su Qing said on the other end of the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m eating at a restaurant right now.” Ye Chen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m hungry too, send me the location, I’ll come find you.” Su Qing said hurriedly and hung up before Ye Chen could respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen had no choice but to send the location to Su Qing and then went back into the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him return, Sun Xiran tentatively asked, “Brother Ye Chen, was that your girlfriend on the phone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen didn’t answer, and just then the waiter brought their food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen didn’t really want Su Qing to come, knowing that once she arrived, he’d have another task of sending her home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen felt it was so difficult to get home early for rest, but then he thought of discussing Sun Xiran’s situation with Su Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that with Sun Xiran’s personality, she wouldn’t proactively call Su Qing. If that were the case, they might lose a talented individual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Xiran, likely too hungry, couldn’t resist the tempting dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the dishes arrived, she impatiently picked up her knife and fork and began to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Ye Chen, this is the most delicious food I’ve ever eaten.” Sun Xiran praised as she ate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s words attracted discontent from surrounding patrons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She really hasn’t seen much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No manners, who speaks loudly in a western restaurant?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen didn’t stop Sun Xiran; he found the girl’s behavior very genuine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this society, it’s rare to find someone who expresses themselves like this, especially a girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the eyes of those around her, Sun Xiran hurriedly whispered, “Brother Ye Chen, I’m so sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was Ye Chen who brought her here, and her actions would definitely involve the man sitting in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine, just eat. If it’s not enough, we’ll order more.” Ye Chen also started eating, watching the girl eat made him feel hungry too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating for a while, a beautiful woman in an office uniform walked toward them from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman attracted the attention of surrounding men, even making their girlfriends a bit displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone wanted to know where the beautiful woman was headed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Xiran also saw the woman walking over and said to Ye Chen, “Brother Ye Chen, a beautiful woman is coming over, seems like she’s looking for you. Will she misunderstand us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t mind her, just keep eating.” Ye Chen said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men in the restaurant looked at Ye Chen enviously, thinking how fortunate he was to have such beautiful company.\u003C\u002Fp>",1249,"2026-06-03T08:12:57.084Z","2026-06-03T08:13:00.904Z",1,"novelbin.me","1e9f2628f011f0468375541b35806650af33990166528d13e9c48bcec634843d","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-889","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-887",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
