Chapter 514: Chapter 510: Let Her Handle Ye Chen (Third Update, Subscription Requested)
Xie Yingying looked nervously at Principal Chen: "Principal, what’s the task?"
At this moment, Xie Yingying was very nervous.
She suddenly remembered the news she had seen.
Many unscrupulous schools let the girls in school accompany guests for drinks, and it’s said that certain things could happen afterwards.
If it’s like that, she wouldn’t go even if she doesn’t get the scholarship.
The principal paused and said, "The school is holding a board meeting and wants to invite Mr. Ye Chen. Your task is to invite him to attend our board meeting."
"Ah, Ye Chen?"
The image of that handsome man immediately flashed in Xie Yingying’s mind.
Now, Ye Chen has become a legend at Modu Institute of Technology.
The figure of Ye Chen often appeared in Xie Yingying’s mind, too.
But since the two hadn’t really gotten close, although they had WeChat, they never chatted.
Seeing that Xie Yingying was in a daze, Principal Chen said, "So, do you have confidence in completing the task?"
Xie Yingying nodded: "I’ll give it a try."
There’s no way around it, as it concerns her future, so whether there’s an issue or not, she must strive to accomplish it.
After leaving the principal’s office, Xie Yingying was also a bit troubled.
She and Ye Chen had only met once, would he show her face?
However, for the sake of the scholarship for the next semester, she had to give it a shot.
Xie Yingying’s family conditions were not very good, so she could only rely on scholarships and work-study programs to cover tuition fees.
If the scholarship was gone, it would be too big a blow for her, she might not even be able to complete her studies.
Grinding her teeth, Xie Yingying dialed Ye Chen’s number.
Ye Chen was driving when his phone rang.
Xie Yingying?
Seeing this name, Ye Chen was also taken aback for a moment.
A pure figure appeared in his mind.
The call connected, and Xie Yingying’s timid voice came through.
"Hello, is this Mr. Ye Chen?"
"I am. Is there something you need, Yingying?"
Hearing Ye Chen’s way of addressing her, Xie Yingying blushed.
"Mr. Ye, it’s like this. The school is having a board meeting and asked me to invite you to attend. If you’re free, please do come."
Hearing Xie Yingying’s hurried tone, Ye Chen knew for sure the university leaders must have threatened her with something.
Ye Chen happened to be near Modu Institute of Technology at the time.
Knowing Xie Yingying’s family situation wasn’t very good, he said, "How about this, I’m nearby the school, let’s find a place, and I’ll treat you to a meal."
Xie Yingying replied, "No need, it’s me asking you for a favor, let me treat you instead. Can we go to our school canteen?"
Being a student, Xie Yingying was really strapped for cash.
So she really couldn’t afford to treat outside.
Ye Chen chuckled, "Alright then, I haven’t eaten at the school canteen in a long time, I kind of miss the taste there."
Hanging up the phone, Ye Chen drove straight to Modu Institute of Technology.
After parking his car, Ye Chen saw Xie Yingying at the school gate.
Xie Yingying was wearing her school uniform with her hair tied in a ponytail.
On her, Ye Chen sensed the vitality of youth.
"Hello, Mr. Ye." Seeing Ye Chen, Xie Yingying quickly came over.
Ye Chen nodded: "Yingying, long time no see."
Xie Yingying checked her watch and said, "Just in time for lunch, let me treat you to a meal."
Ye Chen nodded, "Alright."
The two walked into the campus.
Looking at the familiar campus and feeling the youthful ambiance, Ye Chen felt like he was back in his university days.
In school, one always thinks about graduating, but after graduating, one realizes that university was the best time.
The two arrived at the canteen.
Since it was mealtime, it was very crowded.
Xie Yingying finally found a seat and then said, "Mr. Ye, please wait a moment, I’ll go get the food."
Ye Chen nodded.
After a while, Xie Yingying returned blushing.
Ye Chen looked at the dish tray Xie Yingying brought back, it was quite pitiful, all vegetarian.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Ye, my meal card has no money left. Otherwise, I’ll go borrow a meal card from a classmate to get some meat dishes."
Ye Chen chuckled and held Xie Yingying’s small hand, "No worries, I’ve been eating meat every day till I’m fed up, just wanted to have some vegetables."
"Thank you, Mr. Ye for understanding."
Ye Chen laughed, "No need to be so formal, just call me Brother Ye."
Xie Yingying obediently nodded.
At another table, a boy watching the two chat and laugh was looking sullen.
The boy was Li Zhihao, a rich second generation at the school.
At Modu Institute of Technology, he was very well-known.
Driving luxury cars, wearing luxury watches, changing girlfriends like clothes.
His only regret at Modu University over the years was not being able to win over Xie Yingying.
He had confessed to Xie Yingying several times before, but she had always rejected him.
Xie Yingying’s reasoning was simple: prioritize her studies.
And indeed, Xie Yingying did just that.
There were no boys around her at all. Every day was either work-study or studying.
However, today, Xie Yingying was actually having a meal with a strange man, which had already caught the attention of many boys at the school.
After all, as the campus belle of Modu Institute of Technology, she was the goddess of many boys.
Now, with a man suddenly by the side of the perpetually solitary Xie Yingying, chatting and laughing, how could it not draw attention?
Li Zhihao coldly said to a lackey, "Do you know who that guy is?"
"Seems like he’s not a student from our school," a student said.
"I just saw him at the school gate, he’s probably from outside. By the way, he was driving a Jili car."
"What? Jili?" Li Zhihao’s face turned icy.
Li Zhihao drove a Bugatti sports car worth over three million.
Even he hadn’t had the chance to dine with Xie Yingying, yet a poor loser driving a Jili car could eat with her and have a laugh together?
At this moment, a lackey ran in carrying a takeout from a five-star restaurant.
"Boss, the takeout is here."
Li Zhihao glanced at the takeout, and an idea formed in his mind.
At this time, Principal Zhu and a few vice principals had just finished a meeting and were preparing to have lunch at the principal’s canteen.
Passing by the student canteen, Principal Chen’s eyes lit up, "Principal Zhu, look over there."
Looking in the direction Principal Chen pointed, Principal Zhu saw Ye Chen chatting and laughing with Xie Yingying.
Principal Chen promptly said, "Principal Zhu, shall we go over and say hello?"
"Silly, what are we going over there for, being the third wheel?" Principal Zhu said.
Principal Chen paused, then nodded, "The principal is right."
Principal Zhu chuckled, "Very well, Principal Chen, you’ve handled this matter well. As long as Xie Yingying wins over Ye Chen, our school’s employment rate has a way out."
Hearing Principal Zhu’s words, the other principals felt a bit awkward.
Those words carried a rather strange undertone.
But just then, an unexpected incident occurred!
