Chapter 203: Wang Xiangyu Wants to Become a Disciple!

Wang Xiangyu’s gaze was as cold as the north wind in the coldest winter. With just that one look, the woman who spoke felt as if her body had fallen into an icy cave.

“I just said no police, didn’t you understand?” Wang Xiangyu spoke coldly, then continued, “The store is closed for today. All of you go home, remember: no police. Act like nothing happened today. Understood?”

The saleswomen had no idea what was wrong with Young Master Wang. Even though someone had caused trouble in his store, not only did he not call the police to arrest them, he even told them to go home. It seemed he intended to just let the matter drop.

“Yes, Young Master Wang!” The saleswomen dared not disobey Wang Xiangyu. They quickly walked out of the store and hurried away as if fleeing.

Xiao Zhang gathered his courage and placed the lingerie bag in front of Tang Chen, not even daring to meet Tang Chen’s eyes, then he too turned and ran out. Now, only Tang Chen and Wang Xiangyu remained in the store.

“It looks like you’re the boss of this store. How do you want to play this? Hurry up and say it. This Young Master has things to do.” Tang Chen was not at all intimidated by this guy’s stare. He casually twitched the corner of his mouth, then picked up the lingerie bag from the table.

Wang Xiangyu laughed and said, “Brother, I think you’ve misunderstood. I don’t intend to cause you trouble; in fact, I want to apologize to you. It’s because of my poor management that my staff disrespected you. For that, I want to say sorry.”

Tang Chen found this baffling. Is this guy really such an idiot? He actually wants to apologize to me. I hit his men. Shouldn’t he be furious about losing face and want to fight me?

Author Jun, did you write the wrong script again?

“You said you want to apologize to me?” Tang Chen didn’t believe this guy could be so kind-hearted. He sneered, “This Young Master hit your employee, and also hit that so-called Young Master Cao whom your employee was trying to suck up to. Yet you still want to apologize to me? Do you really think I’d believe that?”

Wang Xiangyu laughed loudly. “Believing or not is your business. Apologizing or not is my attitude. My Wang family is a prominent and respected family throughout all of Jingdu. So, I’ve been cultured since childhood. Knowing it was my people’s fault, I won’t cling stubbornly to face like others and make things difficult for you just to suffer. Besides…” At this point, Wang Xiangyu’s face showed a look of disdain. “Someone like Cao Yiming is nothing but trash to me. It doesn’t matter that he was lying in my store today like a dead dog; even if you had killed him, his Cao family wouldn’t dare cause trouble for me.”

Arrogant, but not without purpose.

This was Tang Chen’s second impression of Wang Xiangyu. This guy was arrogant at his core, but not like those other brainless rich kids who were recklessly arrogant and didn’t know their limits. Someone like this was often very cunning and hard to deal with.

“Alright, consider me convinced for now. I’ll temporarily believe you mean me no harm. So, can I leave now?” Tang Chen couldn’t figure out Wang Xiangyu’s intentions for the moment, so he decided not to dwell on it.

Wang Xiangyu smiled and said, “Of course, you can leave anytime. But I still want to confirm, do you still want to buy the lingerie in your hand?”

Tang Chen grunted in agreement. “Of course. Name your price. This Young Master will pay by card right now. I have things to do and need to leave soon.”

Wang Xiangyu shook his head. “No, no. I’m very sorry about the unpleasant incident today. So, consider this lingerie a gift from me as an apology.”

Tang Chen lifted the lingerie bag and walked toward Wang Xiangyu, saying assertively, “No. This Young Master isn’t the type to take advantage of others. Besides, the ones who offended me were the other two jerks; it has nothing to do with you. So, I don’t need your apology.”

Wang Xiangyu was silent for a moment, then said, “How about this: I’ll charge you just the cost price for this lingerie, 1,200. If you feel a bit awkward about it, it’s simple. I’m very bored right now. Accompany me to Heaven on Earth Club for an hour or so. That can count as me apologizing to you.”

“Heaven on Earth Club? What kind of place is that?” Tang Chen asked curiously. The name sounded quite impressive.

Wang Xiangyu said with some pride, “Heaven on Earth Club is the largest and most luxurious club in Jingdu. It’s also known as Little Ginza. Just from the name, you can tell that inside you can enjoy service fit for an emperor. Most importantly, this club also belongs to my family, so going in to have fun doesn’t cost anything.”

Tang Chen hadn’t expected this guy’s family to be so wealthy. But why was he being so polite to him? If he really wanted to apologize, there was no need to go this far.

Tang Chen thought for a moment and said, “Alright, since you insist, I’ll accompany you for an hour or so. But you don’t need to give me any discount on the lingerie. Charge me whatever the selling price is, because this Young Master isn’t short of money either.”

Wang Xiangyu looked very pleased. “So straightforward! I really like straightforward people. To be honest, it’s been a long time since I met someone I could talk to so easily. My name is Wang Xiangyu. What’s yours?”

Tang Chen casually gave his name, then paid several thousand by card to buy the purple lingerie. After that, the two of them went together to Heaven on Earth Club.

Heaven on Earth Club was famous throughout Jingdu. Some people said, you might not know who the mayor of Jingdu is, but if you don’t know about Heaven on Earth Club, then you aren’t a true Jingdu local.

Heaven on Earth Club had five floors in total. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary large hotel, similar to Junyue in decoration. But once inside, it would deeply shock you.

First, four women in cheongsams stood at the entrance, bowing and saying “Welcome.” These four women were all stunningly beautiful, with perky bottoms and large chests. Having women comparable to stars working as greeters here was enough to show how terrifyingly powerful Heaven on Earth Club—or rather, Wang Xiangyu’s family background—was.

“Young Master!” A middle-aged man in a suit came down from upstairs. He had received word that the Young Master had arrived and hurried to greet him.

Wang Xiangyu nodded faintly, then said to the middle-aged man, “Manager Li, this is my friend. I brought him here to have some fun today. Arrange a good Private Room for us, understood?”

Manager Li acknowledged, smiling politely at Tang Chen, then led the two to a Private Room on the second floor called “Drunken Dreams.” Of course, this kind of Private Room wasn’t like a small KTV room; it was decorated as luxuriously as a five-star hotel. Even the genuine leather sofa they sat on was worth a lot of money.

Wang Xiangyu expertly opened a bottle of whiskey and poured a glass for Tang Chen, smiling as he said, “Brother Tang, let’s have a drink.”

Tang Chen didn’t touch it. Instead, he looked directly into Wang Xiangyu’s eyes and said, “Wang Xiangyu, what exactly is your purpose?”

Wang Xiangyu was slightly taken aback, then set down the glass and sat on the sofa opposite Tang Chen. “Brother Tang, what do you mean? I invited you here to have fun as my way of apologizing.”

Tang Chen sneered. “But your way of apologizing is way too elaborate. Wang Xiangyu, I’m a very direct person. I don’t like beating around the bush or playing mind games. We’ve never met before today; we only met because of what happened. Even if you wanted to make amends, there’s no need to be this enthusiastic toward me. Whether you’re playing an open or hidden game, just lay it out. I don’t like scheming and guessing what the other person is thinking.”

Wang Xiangyu smiled bitterly. “Brother Tang, you’ve really misunderstood me. I truly have no other intentions. Let me be honest with you: I like mixed martial arts, but since I was young, I’ve had a weak physique, and there haven’t been many coaches who could teach me. My parents also don’t want me learning mixed martial arts or kung fu. Just now, when I saw you take action in my lingerie store, your movements were fluid and very graceful. Even though you were just slapping faces, it had the feel of a great martial arts hero. That’s why I wanted to bring you here. I thought if I treated you well with good food and drink—they say if you eat someone’s food, you’re indebted—then after you’ve eaten and drunk your fill, if I begged you to take me as your disciple, you probably wouldn’t refuse.”

Tang Chen was stunned, feeling vaguely thunderstruck. He had considered many possibilities, but he never expected this to be the reason. This guy wants to become my disciple? Is he an idiot? I’m just a face-slapping maniac; I’m not some martial arts master.

“System, can you use something like a lie detector to check if this guy is lying?” Tang Chen felt he needed to ask the System for help, because Wang Xiangyu’s expression seemed very sincere, not like he was lying.

System: “Respected Host, there’s no need for a lie detector. Everything he said is true.”

Tang Chen might not believe Wang Xiangyu, but he wouldn’t disbelieve the System. So it was the truth; this guy genuinely wanted to become his disciple from the bottom of his heart?

Wasn’t this just too dramatic!
