Chapter 522: Chapter 518: You Have Grown (First Update, Please Subscribe)
The next day, colorful flags fluttered at the Modu University of Technology.
Today, Ye Chen drove his Lykan HyperSport.
After all, attending the school board meeting requires some showing off.
At this moment, at the gate of Modu University, a flashy Lamborghini roared in.
Arriving at the school gate, a short man in a suit, wearing sunglasses, coolly got out of the car.
Although he was not tall, his demeanor was confident, with his head held high, exuding arrogance.
Zhang Ming looked at his alma mater and took a deep breath.
Unexpectedly, I, Zhang Ming, have returned here once again.
Thinking about how he didn’t even make a ripple at this school back then, Zhang Ming felt a bit depressed.
But this time, he was determined that since he returned to the school, he had to make a huge splash.
In the past, Zhang Ming was a poor student, short and shabby, completely unnoticeable.
He even became a laughing stock among his classmates.
As for the girls at school, they didn’t even want to spare him a glance.
But now Zhang Ming was different.
After graduating, Zhang Ming learned that his family was extremely rich. His parents pretended to be poor to make him study hard.
In fact, Zhang Ming’s family owned a publicly traded company with assets worth two billion. Now Zhang Ming had inherited the family business and become the company’s CEO.
Under his leadership, the company owned over thirty subsidiaries and employed thousands of people.
Looking at his alma mater, Zhang Ming was full of ambition.
“Today, I will reclaim my lost self and become the most dazzling star at Modu University of Technology.”
When he thought of the most dazzling star, a figure came to mind: Ye Chen.
Back then, Ye Chen, with his looks, was the heartthrob of many girls, always the center of attention.
At that time, Zhang Ming secretly vowed that one day he would overshadow him.
Moreover, Zhang Ming heard that Ye Chen would also attend, so he decided to showcase his prowess.
He wanted Ye Chen to understand that he was the richest person at Modu Institute of Technology.
Zhang Ming heard that Ye Chen donated for a playground, but he thought little of it.
Actually, he could do the same; it’s just that he missed the last school celebration because he was abroad.
This had always been a regret for him.
Now the school invited him to join the board, and the chance to show off had finally arrived.
If I were there during the celebration, how could Ye Chen have been in the spotlight?
Zhang Ming’s Lamborghini had just entered the school and already drew a lot of attention.
“Wow, is this the legendary supercar?”
“This car must be worth over twenty million, right?”
“It must be one of our school board members; I heard there’s a board meeting today.”
“Wow, a big shot, so envious.”
Hearing the students’ discussions made Zhang Ming feel delighted.
He enjoyed the feeling of being admired by people.
Back in school, he was a figure of ridicule, but today, he had finally become the most badass person at the school.
Riding a luxury car, being a CEO of a publicly-listed company, these auras made his return feel like a king’s comeback.
Zhang Ming looked pleased, took off his sunglasses, and waved his hand.
But at that moment.
Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!
Another flashy sports car pulled up at the school gate.
A handsome young man got out of the car.
Seeing that handsome face, Zhang Ming’s expression slightly twitched.
Ye Chen had arrived.
What made him even more speechless was that the crowd that had just surrounded him all ran towards Ye Chen.
“Wow, Ye God is here.”
“My male god has arrived.”
“So handsome!”
“Did you see the car he’s driving? It’s a Lykan, worth over a hundred million.”
“Wow, this is the real big shot.”
At this moment, it was desolate beside Zhang Ming, as everyone gathered around Ye Chen instead.
Zhang Ming’s face turned gloomy, intending to show off, yet had been overshadowed by Ye Chen once again.
He clenched his fist and took a deep breath.
This time, he wouldn’t let Ye Chen continue to be arrogant; he would reclaim his glory.
Ye Chen got out of the car and waved at the students.
The students cheered.
A beautiful girl walked out from the crowd, holding flowers, and gave them to Ye Chen.
“Welcome back to your alma mater, Senior Brother Ye.”
And the teachers and the principal lined the path to welcome him; this atmosphere was unbelievably impressive.
Back then, Ye Chen was the King Bi of the school, always in the spotlight.
Now, just as he was about to show off, the attention was stolen by Ye Chen again.
But now he’s the CEO of a publicly-listed company and not the poor short guy he used to be, how could he let Ye Chen continue to be arrogant?
Zhang Ming took a deep breath, adjusted his tie, and said in a low voice, “Ye Chen, you’ve done well for yourself.”
He deliberately posed with a high attitude, a proud expression.
Everyone was stunned, their eyes focused on Zhang Ming.
Zhang Ming was once again the center of attention, feeling delighted inside.
Ye Chen stopped, glanced at Zhang Ming: “Do we know each other?”
Zhang Ming: “…”
The crowd couldn’t help but laugh.
“Haha, just a moment ago acting all cool, turns out Senior Ye doesn’t even know him.”
“This must be someone trying to associate with Senior Ye.”
“Senior Ye is a big-shot-level figure, not someone every random Tom, Dick, or Harry would know.”
Zhang Ming was nearly driven mad with anger.
He pointed at himself, saying, “You don’t recognize me, I’m Zhang Ming?”
Zhang Ming?
Ye Chen thought for a moment, then suddenly pointed at Zhang Ming and said, “You’re that short-legged Zhang Squat.”
Zhang Ming: “…”
The students laughed again.
Short-legged, what a fitting nickname!
Ye Chen apologized, “Sorry, your transformation is too great, you used to be short, unattractive, and awkward, but now you’re different.”
Zhang Ming was about to go mad with anger.
Can you stop bringing up the past?
Zhang Ming took a deep breath and said, “Ye Chen, the present me is not the past me.”
Ye Chen looked at Zhang Ming, “Hmm, older than before, and seemingly less impressive.”
“You…”
Zhang Ming was about to explode with anger.
“After graduating, I inherited the family business… now I’m the Chairman of Fangkai Group…”
Zhang Ming recounted his background in one breath.
The overall message was about how incredible he was.
After Zhang Ming finished speaking, he looked at Ye Chen, originally hoping to see shock or even flattering expressions on Ye Chen’s face.
However, Ye Chen surprisingly patted Zhang Ming on the shoulder, “Xiaoming, not bad, you’ve grown.”
So casually, as if an elder were praising a junior.
Back then, whenever he encountered classmates, his act of showing off would always cause surprise and then a round of admiration.
But why had the script changed today?
Ye Chen continued, “Hmm, not bad, keep it up, now with money, you can finally invest in yourself.”
Zhang Ming: “…”
Dang it, I wanted you to fawn over me, not to lecture me!
What’s with the ‘invest in yourself’? My shortness is inherited, okay?
What’s with the ‘grown’, I’m already the Chairman of a publicly-listed group, okay?
He felt that Ye Chen seemed to regard his power with disdain.
