Chapter 204: Spit is for Counting Money, Not for Reason and Fight
Chapter 204: Spit is for Counting Money, Not for Reason and Fight
After listening to the System’s words, Tang Chen temporarily put aside his suspicions. If Wang Xiangyu really had no other intentions and just wanted to become his disciple, then besides finding it a bit absurd, he could accept everything else.
“Well, actually, I’m not some expert like you think. I just enjoy slapping faces, that’s all,” Tang Chen said with a twitch of his mouth. If this guy really meant no harm, he wouldn’t mind having another friend.
Wang Xiangyu excitedly said, “Brother Tang, don’t lie to me. My mother told me when I was very young that the more capable a person is, the more low-key they are. You just don’t want to accept me as your disciple, right?”
Tang Chen was speechless and helplessly said, “Um, I don’t want to argue with you over this. Anyway, I’m not some martial arts master. It’s impossible for you to become my disciple, but being friends is still possible.”
At first, Wang Xiangyu felt a bit dejected after hearing Tang Chen’s initial words. But after carefully listening to the rest, he realized there seemed to be a chance for things to turn around. Tang Chen didn’t reject him completely; instead, he said being friends was okay.
Let’s make an analogy. It’s like having sex in a romantic relationship. When you first go to a hotel with your girlfriend, you’re eager to get to it, while your girlfriend seems to hesitate.
She doesn’t push you away and call you a pervert or anything. Instead, she says something like she just wants to kiss. If your girlfriend talks to you like that, you should think that she actually wants it deep down but is too shy to say it outright. This is similar to the relationship between Tang Chen and Wang Xiangyu now.
Huh, this analogy seems a bit off somewhere. Whatever, it’s all irrelevant.
Wang Xiangyu nodded and said, “It’s fine if you don’t accept me as your disciple now. I’ll just be your sidekick first then. I will prove with my actions that I truly want to learn martial arts from you.”
Tang Chen found this somewhat foolish Wang Xiangyu both amusing and annoying, but he didn’t say anything. As long as he didn’t bother him now, it was fine.
“I’ve been here for a while. I need to hurry back. My wife is waiting for me at home.” Tang Chen hadn’t forgotten that Yang Mi was still waiting for him in Z City. After saying this, he stood up.
“Big Brother, are you leaving already?” Wang Xiangyu quickly stood up as well, acting very much like a sidekick. “Since sister-in-law is waiting for you at home, I won’t keep you. Let me walk you out.”
Tang Chen grunted in agreement. Having already taken on many sidekicks, he wasn’t as awkward about it as he was at the beginning.
The two of them walked out of Heaven on Earth Club together. As Wang Xiangyu went downstairs, he thought about asking for Tang Chen’s phone number to keep in touch. Suddenly, he noticed a large group of people talking with Manager Li at the entrance.
“Big Brother, could you spare a moment? Let me go see if something’s happened,” Wang Xiangyu said to Tang Chen with extreme respect, afraid of upsetting Young Master Tang.
Tang Chen didn’t feel uncomfortable and nodded, acting like a boss as he followed Wang Xiangyu over.
“Manager Li, what’s going on?” When facing Manager Li, Wang Xiangyu naturally assumed the demeanor of a young master and asked sternly.
Manager Li explained to Wang Xiangyu, “Young Master, this is Director Hu Hansan. He said he wants to use our club for shooting a scene but wants us to close for the day.”
Wang Xiangyu looked at Hu Hansan and frowned. “You’re Director Hu? You know our club opens for business. How can we close for a whole day just because you want to film here?”
Hu Hansan said proudly, “You’re the boss here, right? Hello, I’m Hu Hansan. Let me explain the reason. The movie I’m making is a big production starring our domestic actress Wang Jiajia. This scene is very important, so I want to book your club for a day to shoot it. Name your price.”
Wang Jiajia was a top female star. How famous was she? She once acted in “Transformers 3” alongside Tom Cruise and was a leading actress frequently seen on the big screen domestically. Many called her a box office guarantee.
Wang Xiangyu naturally knew this. He was about to hesitate when Tang Chen walked over and patted Wang Xiangyu’s shoulder. “Xiao Wang, you said you wanted to be my sidekick, right? Then you’ll do something I ask you to, won’t you?”
The term “Xiao Wang” almost made Manager Li fall over. Damn, didn’t the young master say this guy was his friend? But now he’s calling the young master Xiao Wang so casually. What’s going on?
Wang Xiangyu nodded excitedly, “That’s right, Big Brother. Since I’ve decided to be your sidekick, I won’t go back on my word. I’ll do whatever you tell me to do.”
Tang Chen nodded with satisfaction and pointed at Hu Hansan. “Simple. Drive this director out for me.”
Hu Hansan was stunned. Wang Xiangyu was also stunned and instinctively asked, “Boss, why? Did he offend you?”
Tang Chen shook his head and said arrogantly, “I don’t know him. I just don’t like him. I’m teaching you a lesson here. Remember, you want to become my disciple, so your standards must be high. This guy wants to book your club just to film a movie and make you close. Even though he’s paying, wouldn’t it damage Heaven on Earth Club’s reputation if word got out? Luckily, this isn’t my Hotel. If this happened at my Hotel, I would have already broken their legs and thrown them out. And you’re actually considering it? You disappoint me.”
Tang Chen wasn’t lying. Back in Chapter 15, when the dung-shoveling boy’s fans wanted to book Junyue, Tang Chen got so angry he sold those three poor kids. If there’s anyone in this world more arrogant than Young Master Tang, it’s probably only my Lord Jesus…
Wang Xiangyu was dumbfounded. Although he didn’t understand the benefits of doing this, it sounded very reasonable. He nodded and said, “Big Brother, you’re right. I embarrassed you. Manager Li, drive these people out for me!”
Manager Li was stupefied. He found today’s young master a bit off. Usually, he was very considerate of the overall situation. Why did he directly say to kick them out today?
“Young Master, this… this isn’t very appropriate…”
“What’s inappropriate? Director Hu, right? Did you hear what my Big Brother said? Take your people and get out of here!” After Tang Chen’s brainwashing-like education, Wang Xiangyu’s standards soared as well.
“You… how can you be like this? I already explained the reason. We want to film here. I’m not not paying you. Why do you have to be so arrogant?” Hu Hansan was furious. He had never met someone like this. This was simply unreasonable!
Smack!
Tang Chen walked over and slapped him, saying coldly, “I told you to get out, so get out. Why are you babbling like a woman? Take your people and scram!” Then he turned to Wang Xiangyu and said arrogantly, “Xiao Wang, remember this: spit is for counting money, not for reason and fight.”
Wang Xiangyu’s eyes sparkled with admiration. Such an awesome Big Brother! So fast when he struck, so arrogant when he hit someone. This is clearly a real expert. He really didn’t pick the wrong boss.
“You… you hit me? Are you looking for death?”
Smack!
“I hit you, so what? I already hit you, so saying whether I’m looking for death or not is pointless, idiot.” Tang Chen sneered and slapped Hu Hansan again, making him stagger back a few steps.
“Stop hitting people!”
“In broad daylight, how can you be so rude? Why are you hitting our director?”
“Stop arguing, Goddess Jiajia is here!”
While the film crew protested, someone shouted. They saw a woman walking in from outside, wearing huge black sunglasses and a small leather skirt that revealed her flawless, fair legs. Her face was fair with a rosy glow, and she walked with a very haughty air.
She was Wang Jiajia. Wang Jiajia was twenty-five years old and had become an Otama-nominated Best Actress at a young age. She had the right to be proud.
