Chapter 591: Chapter 565 Returning to Alma Mater Watching everyone fawning over Ye Chen, Zhang Chuan on the side was about to explode. The classmates weren’t fools. How could the major shareholder of the Marriott Hotel possibly be just an ordinary DiDi driver? Zhang Chuan was about to cough up blood. He felt that his attempt to show off was completely overshadowed by Ye Chen’s display. Just now, when Ye Chen said no one was qualified to propose a toast, the classmates thought it was a joke. Now that his identity was revealed, it was clear the joke had turned into reality. Especially since he wanted to pay the bill just now to make Ye Chen owe him a favor, but the restaurant belonged to Ye Chen, so the bill was waived. The one who ended up owing was him. How could Zhang Chuan not be infuriated? Was he lacking a meal? But there was nothing he could do. Who would have expected that the hotel he booked to show off belonged to Ye Chen’s family? At this moment, classmate Sun Ye said, “Everyone’s almost done eating. Let’s go check out the school.” Hearing this, Zhang Chuan frowned slightly. This was supposed to be his line, but someone else took it again. Damn, today he just couldn’t get a chance to stand out, and it was really frustrating. At this moment, Ye Chen nodded and said, “Okay, let’s go, everyone.” Then everyone followed Ye Chen out. Zhang Chuan felt speechless. Damn, he gave out gifts worth hundreds of thousands, but Ye Chen ended up becoming the leader. Soon, everyone in the private room had left, leaving only a frustrated Zhang Chuan and his starry-eyed young secretary. Zhang Chuan had no choice but to follow everyone outside. Just then, Zhang Chuan’s eyes lit up at the sight of a magnificent Bentley. It was a great chance to show off. Zhang Chuan walked up to Li Ruqi and smiled, “Ruqi, I see you didn’t drive. How about riding in my big Bentley?” He waved the Bentley key in his hand in a showy manner. Seeing that luxurious Bentley, everyone was dumbfounded. Wow, this car must be worth three to four million, right? As expected of a rich second-generation kid, even the car is so classy. Amid the classmates’ flattery, Zhang Chuan regained his confidence, looking smug. However, Li Ruqi was unmoved and simply said, “Sorry, Ye Chen just ordered a DiDi.” “DiDi? Ruqi, how can a super beauty like you take a DiDi?” Then, Zhang Chuan patted his Bentley. “A goddess like you should ride in my big Bentley.” Just then, a young man in a suit walked over. His eyes brightened when he saw Ye Chen. “Brother Ye, what are you doing here?” Ye Chen paused for a moment upon seeing him. “Yan Chuang, what are you doing here?” Yan Chuang chuckled, “I have some business here to take care of.” As he spoke, Yan Chuang glanced at Zhang Chuan with a half-smile. “What are you showing off your lousy Bentley for in front of Brother Ye? Do you know what kind of cars Brother Ye has? Check out the Lykan that costs over a hundred million and the Cullinan worth over seventy million. You have the nerve to be proud of your trash car.” Zhang Chuan, who had been so pleased with himself moments before, was instantly embarrassed by Yan Chuang. The other classmates were stunned. Wow, a Lykan worth over a hundred million and a Cullinan? Is Ye Chen really this wealthy? Yan Chuang said, “Brother Ye, since my friend brought a car, you can take my Lamborghini for now. Although it’s a bit old, you can drive it back to Modu for me later.” Ye Chen nodded, “Alright.” Ye Chen invited Li Ruqi into the car and roared away. Everyone was dumbstruck. Wow, Ye Chen has really become impressive. Now everyone understood that there’s no way Ye Chen is just a DiDi driver; he must be a big shot, possibly not even inferior to Zhang Chuan. Look at how low-key he is. Everyone shook their heads with a sigh, then all got into their cars and left. Zhang Chuan was once again left by everyone, feeling infinitely desolate. For so many years, wherever Zhang Chuan went, he was considered the King Bi. But today, he repeatedly failed to impress, and it was very unpleasant. Only he and his secretary were left in front of the hotel, still desolate, as his attempt to show off failed once more. Yet Zhang Chuan was not discouraged; he had already planned to outshine Ye Chen at the school this time and really impress everyone. After all, that’s the ultimate battlefield for showing off. At this moment, in front of Jade Town Elementary School, Principal Wu looked bleak. He had just received notification that this piece of land had been requisitioned, so the school would merge with other schools. This meant that the children, who used to attend school close to home, would now have to travel several hours. “Is there really no way?” The teachers were all very reluctant. Principal Wu shook his head, “There is no way. The agreement has already been signed, and demolition will begin tomorrow.” Just then, a convoy of luxury cars arrived from afar. Leading was a flashy Lamborghini, followed by BMWs, Audis, Mercedes-Benzes, and bringing up the rear was a Bentley. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚫𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵 Seeing so many luxury cars, Principal Wu was stunned. Wasn’t the demolition scheduled for tomorrow? Why did these people arrive so early? In the car, Zhang Chuan felt very frustrated. He had intended to be in the lead vehicle. But because he was late, he ended up at the back again. The land had been purchased by a local real estate developer to build an eco-park. The developer had invited many media outlets to report on the event. The sight of so many luxury cars piqued the interest of these media reporters, who all raised their cameras. The presence of so many reporters made Zhang Chuan even more anxious. Another great opportunity to show off was snatched away by Ye Chen. Ye Chen got out of the car; cameras and flashes focused on him as he emerged. “Excuse me, who are you?” Ye Chen walked up step by step to Principal Wu. “Principal Wu, I am Ye Chen. Do you remember me?” Principal Wu looked him over for a moment and quickly said, “I remember. You were the most handsome in school then. The teachers all liked you. Didn’t you transfer to Modu in the fourth grade?” Ye Chen nodded, “Principal Wu, we are back.” At this time, Zhang Chuan squeezed his way through the crowd, “Principal Wu, do you recognize me?” Principal Wu looked at Zhang Chuan, confused, and shook his head. Zhang Chuan awkwardly said, “I’m Zhang Chuan.” Principal Wu then remembered, “Oh, you’re Chuanzi. But you don’t quite look the same. Didn’t you have a mole under your mouth before? Did you have plastic surgery?” Zhang Chuan smiled and said nothing. Indeed, since becoming a rich second generation, his appearance had been his biggest concern, so he had made a trip to Korea for surgery. But unexpectedly, Principal Wu exposed his past as soon as they met. This time, seeing his other classmates, Principal Wu felt very emotional. In the past, there was only Principal Wu at the school, so he had taught all these students himself. Principal Wu was actually a university graduate from Modu who came to the town for voluntary teaching. He had stayed for decades. Now he had become old Principal Wu. Ye Chen held Principal Wu’s hand and said, “Principal Wu, we are all back.” The principal’s expression darkened a bit, “That’s great, returning is good. But it’s a pity that our school will be demolished tomorrow.”
