Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen smiled slightly. It really was Old Zhou!

These bigwigs didn't go inside immediately after getting out of their cars; instead, they exchanged pleasantries and shook hands at the entrance.

Of course, they might be waiting for someone, since not everyone has arrived yet, and going in would just mean sitting there idly.

Opportunities to gather like this are rare, and everyone present has some wealth, so naturally they want to take this opportunity to expand their network.

Principal Lin and a group of school leaders also arrived, warmly shaking hands and greeting everyone.

"It's a pity that Mr. Xie is ill and won't be able to come today. I'm very interested in Zhonghai Technology and would really like to meet this behind-the-scenes boss!"

Chen Muyan looked at the bigwigs outside and sighed with some disappointment.

Ye Chen looked strange upon hearing this. "Your village doesn't have internet access, does it?"

This news is from several days ago!

"Why do you want to intern at Zhonghai Technology?" Ye Chen asked casually.

"Who wouldn't want to go? Zhonghai Technology is one of the top ten high-tech enterprises in Xiamen. It's said to have a great work atmosphere and is perfect for newcomers to intern!" Chen Muyan said longingly.

Ye Chen nodded. Although he was no longer with Zhonghai Technology, objectively speaking, Zhonghai Technology was indeed very good.

Otherwise, someone like Chen Shuyuan wouldn't still be working at Zhonghai Technology.

"Who told Old Master Xie wouldn't come? Look at that car!" Ye Chen happened to catch a glimpse of a Patton slowly driving by.

Mr. Xie's car was a Patton, which looked like an armored vehicle and was very recognizable.

A short while later, Patton stopped, and a tall, slender figure climbed down.

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Chen Muyan also looked into the distance, and when she saw that beautiful figure, she was somewhat disappointed.

It was obvious that the person who came was not Elder Xie.

However, Ye Chen recognized the person as Xie Nan, Xie Lao's granddaughter.

As soon as Xie Nan came down, Xie Lao followed suit, his movements agile and not at all like a man in his sixties.

Ye Chen couldn't understand why Old Xie liked such a big guy.

It must be so tiring to climb up and down like that.

I probably wouldn't have been able to climb up there when my chronic stomach problems flared up before!

Chen Muyan's eyes widened in surprise: "It really is Elder Xie! He, he actually came too!"

"Hmm? Wait, how do you know about Elder Xie's car?" Chen Muyan looked at Ye Chen suspiciously.

Ye Chen smiled mysteriously: "Do you need me to introduce you later? I'm quite familiar with that old man Xie."

Chen Muyan stared intently at Ye Chen, trying to see if he was joking.

However, she couldn't tell that Ye Chen was joking with her.

"You, are you serious? Don't deceive my feelings!" Chen Muyan still couldn't quite believe it.

Old Xie is a real big shot, with a net worth of tens of billions, unlike this or that "general manager".

Chen Muyan might believe to some extent that Ye Chen knew other people.

But it's said that Ye Chen knows Elder Xie...

It's like a young man claiming to know Mr. Ma—how can anyone believe that?

Ye Chen smiled and said, "I'm not lying to you about my body, don't panic!"

Chen Muyan rolled her eyes, straightened her clothes, and tried to make herself look more energetic.

These big shots all seemed to have arrived, but none of them entered. Instead, they all looked into the distance, as if waiting for someone.

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, and he roughly knew who they were waiting for.

Just then, several executive commercial vehicles drove up.

After the vehicle stopped, a dozen or so middle-aged men in executive jackets got out.

Sure enough, the person who came must be a city leader.

Ye Chen recognized the man in the lead from television; it was Mayor Wu.

School leaders took the initiative to step forward, exchange pleasantries and shake hands, and introduce the people present.

City leaders shook hands with each of the people in the room with smiles.

People with cameras and video cameras nearby started taking pictures.

The mayor even attended Binhai University's centennial celebration, which is quite impressive.

How proud the students of Binhai University will be after the news airs!

Led by the mayor and accompanied by the principal, with the others following in an orderly fashion, the group marched towards the entrance of the gymnasium.

This damn oppressive feeling was so intense that several volunteers were already trembling in their legs.

Let alone the mayor, they would never see anyone else in the room on a normal day.

The sheer number of people who suddenly arrived was almost overwhelming.

Ye Chen glanced at Chen Muyan beside him. She also looked a little nervous, and her throat involuntarily swallowed.

Ye Chen didn't feel much, perhaps because he had no desires, so he felt much more relaxed and at ease.

However, judging from this situation, it seems a bit difficult to sit next to Elder Zhou and the others later.

The mayor was accompanied by the principal himself, and other officials and CEOs were accompanied by school leaders, which implied a distinction between primary and secondary accompaniment.

Looks like he'll be sitting in a corner later.

The school leaders were all focused on the guests and didn't notice the volunteer Ye Chen at all.

She walked straight past him into the room.

However, both Elder Xie and Elder Zhou were taken aback when they passed by Ye Chen.

"Young friend Ye!"

"Xiao Ye!"

Ye Chen grinned and greeted, "Hello, Professor Xie and Professor Zhou, my two senior classmates!"

"Hiss—, I was wondering what you were doing here as a volunteer. I thought I was seeing things from a distance!" Old Xie raised an eyebrow.

"It's an honor to be able to do something for my alma mater!" Ye Chen patted his chest, speaking with righteous indignation.

"Alright, alright, you're even out of breath now!" Old Zhou rolled his eyes.

Wang Jinshan walked over at this moment and, seeing Ye Chen, couldn't help but say, "Ye Chen, you, why are you still volunteering? You need to go in!"

Ye Chen waved his hand at the group, "Alright, we can talk about this later. You guys hurry up and go inside, don't disrupt the event!"

After a moment of silence, Elder Xie and Elder Zhou entered the venue under the guidance of Ye Chen, the "volunteer".

Wang Jinshan opened his mouth, feeling uneasy. He glanced at the two elders from time to time, afraid that Ye Chen's attitude would displease them.

Ye Chen's background was still unclear to him, but the two people in front of him were real big shots!

If Ye Chen offends them, what will he do?

He's in a really difficult position as the middle teacher!

Fortunately, Elder Xie and Elder Zhou didn't seem to care about Ye Chen's attitude, which made him breathe a slight sigh of relief.

This scene left Chen Muyan speechless with astonishment.

Ye Chen is a real tiger; he actually dared to speak to these two big shots like that.

"You, you, you really know Elder Xie, and Elder Zhou too?!" Chen Muyan looked like she was questioning her life.

"What's wrong? Can't I? Those two old men are my neighbors!" Ye Chen put on a big brother's air, acting all high and mighty!

Chen Muyan opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Judging from the way those three people were acting, it's clear they weren't just acquaintances; calling them friends wouldn't be an exaggeration.

I never expected Ye Chen to be hiding so well; he's a hidden master!

To be so familiar with such important figures as Elder Xie and Elder Zhou, Ye Chen's family must be at least of similar stature.

"Senior Ye, is your family really involved in a gold mine?"
