201: I agree to take on an apprentice!
The voice rolled and billowed, echoing repeatedly.
The entire airport instantly fell into a dead silence.
Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at the three red banners in the sky, listening to the demonic voice blaring into their ears, their faces filled with disbelief.
Huh?
What did they just hear?
The Chaos Demon of Yan Capital actually wants to take a master?
In the crowd, someone touched their own face and murmured to themselves, "My name is also Ye Chen, could it be me?"
What a scene!
It was even more grand than a marriage proposal.
Many people looked around, wanting to see who exactly Ye Chen was, to be so impressive that Chu Niubi would publicly shout about becoming his disciple?
Bai Wanqing raised her hand to adjust her sunglasses, her face darkening.
Ye Chen stood where he was, looking up at the three helicopters still circling and frolicking in the sky, and those outrageously flashy red banners; his mouth twitched, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
What did he say just now?
He shouldn't be that much of a bastard, right?
As it turned out, it was much more shameless than imagined... This was a true case of "acting first and asking later"!
Good.
Very good.
Chu Niubi, you really are a damn... talent.
The airport security personnel finally reacted at this moment, calling urgently on their walkie-talkies while running wildly toward the helicopters, but since the helicopters were circling at a low altitude, they couldn't reach them at all.
The scene was simultaneously chaotic and ridiculous.
However.
Chu Niubi's voice continued through the loudspeaker.
"Ye Chen! I, Chu Niubi, have never been this serious in my life!"
"Just give me a chance! I'll definitely pass the assessment! If I don't, I'll give you one-third of my family's assets!!!"
The surrounding people were even more shocked.
Good heavens!
Has this Chu Niubi gone mad?
He's actually giving away one-third of his family's assets???
To countless people, this was simply an overwhelming fortune falling from the sky!
But Ye Chen only felt it was a hassle.
Ye Chen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to drag those three helicopters down from the sky, and turned to Bai Wanqing beside him, saying, "Let's go."
He didn't want to stay in this place for even another second.
Bai Wanqing nodded and quickened her pace toward the airport exit, wanting only to get away from the area shrouded by Chu Niubi's "demonic voice" as quickly as possible.
However, they had only walked a few steps when... "Brother Ye! Master! Wait for me!!!"
Accompanied by a shout, a figure came scrambling and crawling out from the crowd behind them to the side.
And then.
With arms wide open, he stopped in front of Ye Chen in a sliding kneel!
Who else could it be but Chu Niubi?
He roared at the top of his lungs.
"Master! Just take me in! I, Chu Niubi, am sincere this time! Give me a chance, Master!!!"
This shout was full of vigor, and combined with the roar of the helicopters and the red banners still in the sky, it instantly caused all the bewildered searching gazes to fall squarely on Ye Chen!
"Ye Chen? He's Ye Chen?"
"My god! So young?!"
"Wait! This face... I think I've seen it online! Is he that martial arts guy from that viral video in Xiamen City a while back, who fought over a dozen people alone and could leap over crowds?!"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's him! I thought he looked familiar!"
"It's actually him! He's come to Yan Capital? The person Young Master Chu wants to take as a master is actually him?!"
"Holy shit! No wonder Chu Niubi is so crazy, this guy has real skill!"
"The Young Master of the Chu Family kneeling in public to take a master... this news is going to explode!"
...The crowd was in a complete frenzy!
Exclamations!
Discussions!
The clicking of cameras!
It all rang out at once as countless phone lenses were pointed at the three people in the center.
This was exactly the effect Chu Niubi wanted!
He wanted to morally kidnap Ye Chen!
A flash of smugness crossed his face.
And... he had arranged people beforehand.
At this moment, seven or eight burly Bodyguards in black suits quickly squeezed in from the periphery of the crowd.
Seemingly maintaining order, they actually quietly surrounded the three of them, separating them from the overly excited crowd.
The stance was clear... if Ye Chen didn't give him a definite answer today, he planned to stay kneeling here, and no one would be able to easily take Ye Chen away.
Ye Chen looked at Chu Niubi, speechless.
He rubbed his throbbing temples.
Trouble, truly a massive trouble.
But under the current circumstances, it clearly wasn't a good time to be reasonable.
A reckless fellow like Chu Niubi could truly do something even more outrageous.
He spoke up helplessly.
"Fine."
Chu Niubi's whole body jolted, and the wild joy on his face instantly exploded, almost radiating light!
Fearing Ye Chen would regret it, he didn't even wait for Ye Chen to say more and slammed his head down in a kowtow.
"Greetings, Master! Please accept a bow from your disciple, Chu Niubi!!!"
This kowtow was truly loud, causing the surrounding noisy voices to go quiet for a moment.
Ye Chen: "..."
He was regretting it a little now.
But now was clearly not the time to back out.
He grabbed Chu Niubi's arm, hauled him up from the ground, and barked in a low voice, "Stop bowing! Let's get out of here!"
If he kept bowing, he feared tomorrow's Yan Capital headlines would be full of high-definition close-ups of them.
Chu Niubi rose along with the pull, his face beaming with a smile. Where was there any trace of his previous miserable pleading?
Instead, he looked just like a fox that had stolen a chicken!
He grabbed Ye Chen's arm in return and pointed toward a spot not far away.
"The car!"
"Master, that bright yellow Lamborghini Urus over there!"
"It's mine! Let's talk in the car!"
Ye Chen looked in the direction he pointed and indeed saw an extremely eye-catching bright yellow Lamborghini SUV parked in the temporary parking area, with two black Mercedes G-Wagons beside it, clearly the Bodyguards' cars.
He no longer hesitated, grabbed Bai Wanqing's wrist with his other hand, and said in a low voice, "Go!"
The three of them moved instantly. With Chu Niubi's Bodyguards clearing the way, they quickly pushed through the crowd and rushed toward the Lamborghini.
While running, Chu Niubi didn't forget to look back and shout to the head Bodyguard, "Old Chen! Leave the rest to you! Settle it! The costs are on me!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
The head Bodyguard replied in a deep voice and immediately directed his subordinates to start handling the scene, directing the crowd, and dealing with the airport authorities.
Ye Chen practically stuffed Chu Niubi into the passenger seat, opened the back door himself to let Bai Wanqing in first, and then ducked in as well.
"Drive, fast!" Ye Chen urged.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Chu Niubi rubbed his hands excitedly and shouted to the professional driver, "Don't just daze off, go! Leave this place first! Go to 'Cloud Top Garden'!"
The Lamborghini emitted a low, beast-like roar and quickly started, nimbly driving away from the chaotic airport area, with the two G-Wagons following closely behind.
The clamor outside the windows and the countless gazes were quickly left behind.
Leaning against the soft leather seat, Ye Chen exhaled a long breath of turbid air, feeling more tired than if he had fought a battle with Raven Chief of Southeast Region.
He looked up at Chu Niubi, who was peeking at him through the rearview mirror from the passenger seat, and spoke irritably.
"Young Master Chu..."
"Call me disciple, Master!" Chu Niubi immediately turned around, his eyes shining.
Ye Chen didn't bother to correct him and asked directly, "You made such a huge scene just to join the Dragon Group?"
Chu Niubi chuckled, "Of course, I am a citizen of the Dragon Kingdom and possess the heart of the Dragon Kingdom!"
Ye Chen was speechless.
Chu Niubi continued.
"Master, actually you don't need to do anything. The key lies only in the recommendation and the assessment."
"Recommendation requires a special agent with enough weight to issue a written opinion and act as a guarantor. Your 'act first, ask later' authority definitely has enough weight!"
"As for the assessment..."
Chu Niubi licked his lips.
"The content of the assessment is strictly confidential, but it's nothing more than strength, character, and background checks."
"Regarding strength, you can teach me, Master!"
"As for character... although I, Chu Niubi, love to play around, I have no issues with major principles!"
"Background goes without saying, the Chu Family is as loyal as they come!"
"I've looked into it; for this kind of special recruitment assessment, the weight of the recommender's evaluation is very high."
"As long as you write me an extravagant... oh no, a comment that truthfully reflects my positive attitude and hard work, and then I perform slightly above average during the assessment..."
Chu Niubi rubbed his fingers together, making a "little bit" gesture, the smile on his face becoming even more brilliant.
"Entering the Dragon Group, wouldn't that be a sure thing?"
Ye Chen understood now.
To put it bluntly, Chu Niubi was eyeing his "golden brand" and recommendation rights, wanting to take a shortcut.
As for teaching skills... that was probably secondary.
Leaning against the backrest, his gaze fixed on the rapidly receding scenery of Yan Capital outside the window, he suddenly spoke calmly, "Chu Niubi."
"Yes! Speak, Master!" Chu Niubi became nervous.
"I agree to take you in," Ye Chen said faintly, "but I have some conditions first."
Chu Niubi immediately sat up straight, "Master, please instruct me!"
"First, I am not a formal master, and I don't have time to teach you systematically. How much you learn depends on your own comprehension and effort."
"Second, I've come to Yan Capital this time for a purpose; there might be trouble or even danger. Since you've come forward, don't expect to be able to stay completely clear of it. If you get into trouble then, don't blame me."
"Third..."
Ye Chen turned his head, "Once you enter the Dragon Group, whether it's a blessing or a curse, good or bad, it's your own choice. If you use this status to act recklessly in the future or do something you shouldn't..."
He paused, not finishing the sentence, but the meaning in his eyes was very clear.
The playful smile on Chu Niubi's face completely vanished.
He was silent for a few seconds and then nodded heavily.
"Master, I understand."
"I, Chu Niubi, love to play and fool around, but I have a bottom line."
"I want to enter the Dragon Group not because of how impressive it is, but because I want to do something different, I want to..."
"Prove that I, Chu Niubi, am not just a playboy who was lucky to be born into the right family."
"As for trouble..."
He suddenly grinned.
"In this area of Yan Capital, I, Chu Niubi, might not have other skills, but being a qualified trouble-maker and backer for someone is something I'm well-qualified for."
"The business you have here, Master, maybe your disciple can be of some help?"
Ye Chen looked at him and didn't speak.
Bai Wanqing sat to the side and also didn't speak, but her eyes behind the sunglasses flickered slightly.
Chu Niubi was right about one thing... in Yan Capital, no one was more powerful than the Chu Family!
