9 Chapter 9: Eight Million, Is It Too Cheap?

The entire Chen Family Clan would select three disciples each generation to undergo assessment, finally confirming the next successor!

In Chen Tang's generation, aside from Chen Tang himself, there were actually two other disciples undergoing the assessment. One was Chen Yu, the son of his third uncle, who was ignorant and incompetent, never taking the assessment seriously.

The other was Chen Hong, the son of his second uncle, who was very capable, having started several companies worth over a hundred billion during the assessment stage!

Within the Chen Family Clan, the most popular candidates for successor were naturally Chen Tang and Chen Hong.

However, although Chen Hong was competent, he was extremely arrogant. Once, when a subordinate accidentally spilled water on his clothes, Chen Hong had the person's hands chopped off immediately!

The people from the Southwestern Guard Station were now waiting for Chen Tang's decision.

Was Chen Tang the same type of person as Chen Hong? If so, he would not be easy to serve!

Chen Tang, looking at Han Youyue's awkward expression, deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Where did you go wrong?"

Because of Chen Tang's change in attitude, the entire atmosphere of the meeting hall suddenly became tense, and Elder Pang couldn't help but frown.

What exactly happened between the young master and Director Han?

"I..." Han Youyue looked aggrieved. How could she blame herself for barging into the men's restroom? Was it not all to meet the so-called young master?

Just as Han Youyue was about to adopt a defiant attitude, Chen Tang smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, Director Han, I was just teasing you! Ignorance is not a crime... however, as a punishment, you shall be punished by driving me home later!"

"??"

In the meeting hall, a group of powerful figures watched Chen Tang in stunned silence.

Is this punishment?

Is it over just like that?

What kind of punishment is this?

The young master of the Chen Family, Earth's Strongest Family Clan... Driving the young master home is an opportunity many dream of!

Han Youyue was also stunned. This was her punishment?

Driving the young master home?

What would happen after getting home?

Han Youyue glanced at Chen Tang's mischievous eyes and thought again of her own figure and appearance, and she instantly understood.

All men, indeed, are the same!

So, the young master had this in mind?

Fine then!

After all, from a young age, she was trained to serve the Chen family. If the young master took a liking to her, could she even escape?

"Aren't you going to thank the young master?" Elder Pang, watching Han Youyue's changing expressions, hastily spoke up to remind her.

The bigwigs in the meeting hall, each a lord in their own right, sensed the subtle atmosphere and immediately understood that there was something going on between the young master and Director Han.

Alas!

Did Director Han just secure her support?

It seems people would have to get closer to Director Han from now on! Who knows, Director Han might become the main lady one day!

"Subordinate thanks the young master!" Han Youyue reluctantly bowed to Chen Tang, then turned around and found a seat to sit down.

Chen Tang cleared his throat at the front, facing the audience he offered a slight smile and said, "Let me formally introduce myself, I am Chen Tang! The second young master of the direct line of the third generation of the Chen Family Clan, and of course, there's another identity, the son-in-law of the Yun City Lin Family... Although the family ban has been lifted, I do not wish to reveal my identity for the time being.

So, even if we run into each other somewhere in the future, you should pretend not to know me, understand?"

"Understood!" After Chen Tang's speech, the big shots below all secretly let out a sigh of relief.

This young master seemed not so unapproachable after all! He appeared to be quite amiable and reasonable.

With this in mind, everyone had a rough idea of how to choose their future actions!

After Chen Tang finished speaking, Elder Pang gave a signal with his eyes to his subordinates, who then brought a large box in front of Chen Tang, "Young Master, these people left in a hurry today and didn't bring any gifts, just these, what do you think?"

Inside the box lay more than a dozen gifts, including bracelets, rings, pendants... The big shots sitting below looked at Chen Tang with some peculiar glances.

The young master asking for gifts at the first meeting made those big shots feel somewhat uncomfortable!

In the past ten years, Chen Tang hadn't made much progress in other areas, but his ability to read people had significantly improved. Sensing the expressions of the big shots, it immediately dawned on him that these people might have misunderstood his intentions.

"Please don't misunderstand, I asked you to bring two gifts, not for myself! It's because my grandmother's birthday is coming up, and I didn't have time to choose something nice, so I thought to borrow two items from you to give to her..." Chen Tang explained casually to everyone as he fiddled with the items in the box.

Upon hearing Chen Tang's words, the group of big shots nodded to themselves in understanding, suddenly realizing what he meant.

"Who brought this pair of earrings?" Chen Tang picked out a pair of beautiful blood-red earrings from the assortment of gifts. These earrings were somewhat similar to a pair he had bought at a jade store in the afternoon and suited his intention perfectly.

"Young Master, it was I..." Liu Tianxiong quickly stood up from his seat in the crowd, responding respectfully.

It was this very Liu Tianxiong who had brought people to rescue Chen Tang at the KTV earlier in the day.

Chen Tang had a very strong impression of Liu Tianxiong, "Hmm, Liu Tianxiong from the Shenyin Security Group! Right, how much for these earrings?"

Liu Tianxiong stood by his chair, unsure of Chen Tang's intention, and hesitated a bit before answering, "Eight million? Young Master, is that too cheap? Should I immediately arrange for a more expensive pair to be prepared?"

Chen Tang waved his hand, "No need! Rest assured, I won't take the gift for free, Elder Pang, I entrust my account to you for full management. Later on, transfer eight million from my account to President Liu as a personal purchase!"

Hmm?

This scene left everyone present dumbfounded.

So the young master wasn't asking for gifts for himself, nor was he taking them for free, he was actually paying for them?

This young master was truly not like the other young masters of the Chen Family!

...

After conversing with the crowd, Chen Tang declined Elder Pang's personal escort, and he and Han Youyue took the elevator down to the first floor together.

"Young Master... I..." Only Han Youyue and Chen Tang were in the elevator, and she felt somewhat uneasy.

Chen Tang looked at Han Youyue with a gentle smile and said, "It's okay! Sister Han, there's no need to call me young master, just Chen Tang is fine. Isn't it much better for us to address each other as brother and sister... I had you accompany me just to ease some of your embarrassment, don't overthink it!"

Is that so?

A surprised look flashed in Han Youyue's eyes. Could it be that she was overthinking? Was her figure really not attractive to the young master?

Vaguely, Han Youyue felt a twinge of disappointment.

"Oh, alright, Young Master Chen!" Han Youyue paused in her speech, "But still, let me take you home. After all, what happened in the restroom earlier was sisters fault, I should make it up to you somehow!" Once her status was put aside, Han Youyue became much more carefree and recovered her enchanting demeanor.

The two of them had just stepped out of the elevator into the first-floor lobby when Wang Ke, Qi Jun, Qin Yao, and others turned their gaze toward them, "Brother Wang, Chen Tang is out, and there's a pretty little girl with him!"

Wang Ke's face darkened, "Hmph, acting all high and mighty in "la zi's" territory, I won't let you off easy!" After pausing, Wang Ke turned towards several waitstaff, "You guys, get ready!"
