The next day, Ye Chen arrived at the airport early in the morning.
Because today, Li Sitong was also arriving in Kyoto for the start of the school term.
Xia Yingluo had originally said she would come to pick her up as well, but the school had an activity, so Ye Chen had to come alone.
Ye Chen waited for over ten minutes before Li Sitong's flight landed.
At the arrival gate, Li Sitong walked out.
Beside her was a middle-aged man, who was none other than Li Li.
Seeing Ye Chen, Li Sitong threw her luggage to her father and threw herself into Ye Chen's arms.
Although it had only been a few days since she last saw Ye Chen, Li Sitong missed him to death.
Seeing his daughter dive into Ye Chen's arms, Li Li's lips twitched, and he turned his face away, pretending not to see.
Li Li's company also had an office in Kyoto, and a Mercedes-Benz was already waiting at the entrance.
Ye Chen put Li Sitong's luggage into the trunk and then got into the car.
Li Li sat in the front row, while Ye Chen and Li Sitong sat in the back.
The three of them first went to a restaurant to eat something. Li Li had business to attend to and left first, while Ye Chen took Li Sitong to school.
At the Film Academy, handsome men and beautiful women were everywhere.
Even so, when Ye Chen appeared on the Film Academy campus, he was still very eye-catching.
"Wow, is this a new guy at our school? He's so handsome."
"That girl is also very pretty; it looks like they know each other."
A few boys came over wanting to help Li Sitong with her luggage, but she politely declined them all.
With her Boyfriend here, did she need other boys to show off their gallantry?
A few girls also came over to strike up a conversation with Ye Chen.
"Junior, I'm from the Class of '07. Let's be friends and look out for each other in the future."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm not a student at the Film Academy. I'm just here to drop off a friend."
"Ah, not from the Film Academy? Then which University are you at?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "I'm at Jingda."
Hearing that Ye Chen was at Jingda, those girls were instantly stunned.
Heavens, he's amazing—not only is he so handsome, but he's also a Top Student.
Ye Chen helped Li Sitong finish the enrollment procedures and escorted her to her dormitory.
In the dorm, the other three girls had already arrived.
When they saw Li Sitong, they were all stunned.
Wow, this girl is so beautiful.
When they saw Ye Chen behind Li Sitong, their eyes lit up even more.
This guy is just too handsome.
Li Sitong introduced him with a smile, "Hello everyone, I'm Li Sitong, and this is my Boyfriend, Ye Chen. He's a student at Jingda."
Ye Chen greeted everyone with a smile, "Hello everyone."
A girl said with a beaming smile, "Wow, Si Tong, you're amazing, bringing your Boyfriend to school."
The one speaking was a petite girl.
Ye Chen was momentarily stunned when he saw the girl. He was very familiar with her; she would be a very popular young starlet in the future named Xiao Zi.
He didn't expect her to be Li Sitong's classmate.
As for the other two girls, although they were also very pretty, Ye Chen didn't recognize them.
Ye Chen laughed and said, "Hello everyone, please take good care of Si Tong in the future."
Xiao Zi was actually the most famous in the dorm; she had starred in a very good children's drama when she was young.
She said with a chuckle, "Taking care of her is no problem, but we can't help for free, right?"
Ye Chen didn't expect that Xiao Zi, who was so lively on screen, would be just as quirky and mischievous in real life.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll treat everyone to a meal later."
The girls were all very happy.
After all, Ye Chen was a huge heartthrob, and just looking at him was pleasing to the eye.
Ye Chen had intended to stay a bit longer, but just then, his phone suddenly rang.
"Ye Chen, can you come to the Kyoto Hotel? Someone from Alibaba Group has arrived and is prepared to invest in our company's Shared Bikes."
"Really?" Ye Chen's eyes also lit up.
Their Shared Bikes finally had an investment, and it was a big fish.
Alibaba Group was already very impressive in 2008.
He didn't expect Alibaba Group to have such foresight and notice the Shared Bikes project so quickly.
"The person in charge from Alibaba Group is at the Kyoto Hotel right now. We're about to discuss the financing; do you want to come over and take a look?"
After all, Ye Chen was also the largest shareholder of the Shared Bikes project.
Therefore, the matter of financing had to be discussed with Ye Chen.
Ye Chen said, "Okay, I'll take a taxi over right now. Wait a moment."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Li Li let out a long breath.
Actually, Li Li was really worried that Ye Chen wouldn't come.
After all, after Ye Chen gave him the project plan, he had been acting as a hands-off boss.
But there was no helping it; Ye Chen's plan was just that good.
The Shared Bikes project was running so well entirely because of Ye Chen's perfect plan.
Since the other party provided the plan, he could only do more work as the capable one.
Furthermore, the opponent in this negotiation was too strong, and Li Li was indeed feeling some pressure.
Ye Chen said to Li Sitong, "Si Tong, I'm sorry, Uncle Li has something going on, and I need to head over there."
Although Li Sitong was a bit unhappy hearing this, she also understood that her dad calling Ye Chen over must be for serious business.
"Alright then, go ahead. I'll go to Jingda to find you tomorrow," Li Sitong said with a smile.
"Sure thing."
Half an hour later, Ye Chen took a car to the Kyoto Hotel.
Just as he arrived at the lobby, a beautiful secretary was already waiting for Ye Chen downstairs.
"President Ye, President Li is waiting for you upstairs. Please follow me."
"Okay, thank you."
Although Ye Chen didn't come to the company often, he had shown his face a few times while the project was running.
So, the people in charge of Shared Bikes all knew this exceptionally handsome President Ye.
After all, Ye Chen was so handsome that once you saw him, you wouldn't forget him.
Ye Chen followed the female secretary to a luxurious private room.
"Ye Chen, you're here." Li Li stood up with a smile when he saw Ye Chen.
He said enthusiastically, "Let me introduce you. This is Old Horse Brother from Alibaba Group."
Hmm, looking at this somewhat thin and short middle-aged man, Ye Chen was also momentarily stunned.
He didn't expect Old Horse Brother to value this project so much that he would come in person.
Ye Chen was also very happy that Alibaba Group could provide financing.
After all, Alibaba Group would be an internet giant in the future. If they could cooperate with him, the development of Shared Bikes would definitely be even better.
Old Horse Brother was also stunned when he saw Ye Chen.
He hadn't expected the investor of Shared Bikes to be so young.
This age... he's probably only around twenty.
At twenty, Old Horse Brother was still in University.
At thirty, Old Horse Brother was still teaching foreign languages at a school.
Yet this person, so young, had already created such an impressive project.
"I didn't expect President Ye to be so young. Today's youth are truly formidable!"
Ye Chen said modestly, "Haha, I just got lucky and thought of a good investment project."
After sitting down, Old Horse Brother said straightforwardly, "Mr. Ye, I think your project is very good. I'm prepared to provide thirty million in financing to invest in your project."
