Chapter 195 Bargaining
Upon hearing this, Han Chuan was taken aback at first, and then removed Jiang Bai from the list of people Jiang Yuqing liked.
They had only just met, and this person was of average appearance and didn't seem to have much money. In Han Chuan's mind, Jiang Yuqing's crush was naturally not Jiang Bai.
While this reassured him somewhat, it also stirred up a bit of jealousy within him.
He had just met Jiang Yuqing and was already able to arrange to have dinner together. He had been pursuing her for several days, but Jiang Yuqing hadn't agreed to date him.
This made Han Chuan, who usually thought highly of himself, feel very uncomfortable.
However, being well-educated, he did not show his anger and still smiled at Jiang Bai, saying, "How about this, I'll offer 100,000, friend, how about you give me this opportunity to have dinner with Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Bai was taken aback by these words, then couldn't help but smile. Did they think they could bribe him with 100,000 yuan?
If the gambling king, who just had a piece of his flesh bitten off, knew about this, would he devour this little guy alive to teach him a lesson?
Seeing Jiang Bai looking somewhat stunned, Han Chuan assumed Jiang Bai was shocked by his actions and continued, "Don't worry, I'll write you a check for 100,000 yuan right now. You can cash it as soon as you get off the plane. 100,000 yuan is just for a meal opportunity. You've made a fortune."
"Ten thousand yuan, for the chance for me to have dinner with Yuqing?" Jiang Bai asked noncommittally.
"Yes, 100,000! I keep my word!" Han Chuan nodded with a smile.
"One hundred thousand is too little."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Bai neither rejected Han Chuan nor agreed to his request, but instead said something like this.
Their conversation startled several guests nearby, who all looked on curiously.
This kind of thing is quite rare.
Chinese people love to join in the fun, and they unconsciously started paying attention to this area.
Fortunately, the people in first class were all people of some status, and there weren't many of them. They were mindful of their status and didn't crowd around to watch. Otherwise, the two of them would have become like monkeys being watched in a zoo.
"Hehe, if you think it's too little, that's fine, two hundred thousand! That should be acceptable."
Jiang Bai's words made Han Chuan laugh, and then without saying a word, he doubled the price, saying that 200,000 was just for the chance to have a meal with him.
No matter how you look at it, Han Chuan didn't think the other party had any reason to refuse.
For someone like him, 200,000 yuan is enough for him to do many things.
"Two hundred thousand? Are you trying to fob me off? Don't even talk to me if you don't have a million!"
Jiang Bai rolled his eyes at the other person and said lazily.
"One million? Don't be too greedy. Two hundred thousand is already a lot! One million! Don't you think you're going a bit too far? Three hundred thousand! That's my lowest price. You need to think it through. For someone like you, three hundred thousand is more than enough! It's enough for you to do a lot of things. Don't be ungrateful!"
Han Chuan may be rich, but he's not stupid.
He could accept spending two or three hundred thousand on a meal, but spending over a million was something he found hard to accept.
Besides, this isn't even a meal; it's just interrupting the other person's mealtime. Spending too much money on it would be a waste.
Little did he know that his bargaining with Jiang Bai had been witnessed by Jiang Yuqing, who had returned home.
At first, Jiang Yuqing's face turned pale, and her eyes were filled with tears. She felt that Jiang Bai was disrespecting her character and betraying her.
However, Jiang Xin reacted quickly, whispering a few words in Jiang Yuqing's ear, which made Jiang Yuqing's face turn from gloomy to sunny. All her opinions about Jiang Bai disappeared, replaced by only anger towards Han Chuan.
The reason was simple. Jiang Xin didn't say anything special; she just recounted their guesses about Jiang Bai's net worth and his previous performance.
Just a few words were enough for Jiang Yuqing to realize what was going on; she wasn't stupid.
She didn't know Jiang Bai's net worth, but from their previous interactions, she knew he was definitely very wealthy, extremely capable, and incredibly powerful.
Besides, she had seen Jiang Bai's gambling skills before. Getting money would be a piece of cake for him. Why would she need to haggle with this young master here?
Jiang Bai probably did this mostly out of mockery.
Since she wasn't selling herself for money, what was there for her to be angry about?
On the contrary, Han Chuan, who paid the money, behaved in a truly despicable way.
This made her very angry.
However, Han Chuan was unaware of all this and continued to haggle with Jiang Bai, raising the price to 350,000.
They even felt that victory was already in their grasp.
Three hundred and fifty thousand for a meal? In Han Chuan's view, Jiang Bai had no reason not to agree!
"Three hundred and fifty thousand is a bit low, but it's not that I can't agree to it. But you have to ask Yuqing if she agrees."
Jiang Bai smiled slightly and said this, having already discovered Jiang Yuqing; he said it on purpose.
Now that he felt the time was right, he stopped arguing with the guy in front of him.
One sentence made Han Chuan's expression change drastically. He turned his head sharply and saw Jiang Yuqing standing there with a frosty expression. Even if he was stupid, he would know that he had been tricked.
She glared at Jiang Bai resentfully, suppressing the urge to grab him and beat him up on the spot, and quickly explained, "Yuqing, I..."
"Mr. Han, there's no need to explain anything to me. We never had any relationship to begin with. It's just that your character makes me glad I made that choice. I hope you won't bother me again in the future."
Jiang Yuqing remained restrained as she spoke.
She didn't spit in the other person's face, but she didn't give Han Chuan a friendly look either. She coldly said this and then walked past him.
He came to Jiang Bai's side, poured him a glass of water, and then chatted for a few minutes.
Whether it was intentional or not, her attitude was completely different from when she was facing Han Chuan.
This made Han Chuan's face turn as black as if it could drip water, and he cried out in his heart: "What you're doing is unfair! He was involved in this too! Why aren't you blaming him!"
Unfortunately, Jiang Yuqing was destined never to hear Han Chuan's inner cries, and even if she did, she probably wouldn't pay any attention to him.
What is the relationship between Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Bai? Is it similar to that of Han Chuan?
After a while, when Jiang Yuqing got up to leave again, she had been holding it in for who knows how long. Her face was ashen, and Han Chuan, who had been holding back his anger and unable to release it, finally found an opportunity to vent.
He glared at Jiang Bai and said fiercely, "Kid, you dare to play me for a fool! Do you know the consequences?"
"I don't know, why don't you tell me?" Jiang Bai yawned, responding with an indifferent expression.
"You...you just wait!"
Pointing at Jiang Bai, Han Chuan was stunned to find that he didn't know how to deal with Jiang Bai's attitude. After a while, he angrily threw down this sentence and ignored Jiang Bai.
What can he do in this situation? Fight with the other party?
Putting aside whether he could win, just looking at the opponent's slightly bulging, firm muscles hidden under his clothes, Han Chuan decisively gave up the idea.
Chapter 196 I Give You Full Marks
Should we call someone now?
Don't be ridiculous, this is on an airplane.
Moreover, Han Chuan is a respectable businessman; he genuinely doesn't know any of those hooligans and scoundrels.
Han Chuan, who received higher education from a young age, studied abroad, and then took over the company as its vice president, certainly knows wealthy people, celebrities, overseas students, artists, and the like. But if you're talking about thugs and hooligans...
Han Chuan really didn't recognize him.
So after much thought, Han Chuan couldn't find any way to deal with the person in front of him except to silently protest with his face covered in black.
This infuriated him.
He sat motionless in his seat, refusing to say a word.
After a while, Han Chuan came to his senses and seemed to have thought of something, which made his eyes light up.
After looking Jiang Bai up and down, a plan came to mind.
fight?
Han Chuan would never do such a barbaric and despicable thing.
What are his advantages compared to Jiang Bai?
In terms of looks, none of them are ugly, and in terms of temperament, they seem to be about the same.
But when it comes to taste in clothing, wealth, and academic qualifications, Han Chuan felt that this despicable guy in front of him was completely incomparable to himself.
Han Chuan studied abroad from a young age and returned at a young age as a graduate student from a famous foreign university, far surpassing this guy in front of him.
When it comes to financial resources, Han's Cosmetics Company is a giant in the domestic cosmetics industry.
As the major shareholder, the Han family's financial strength is beyond doubt, with family assets around 10 billion.
Naturally, Han Chuan felt that he had a great advantage over Jiang Bai.
Jiang Yuqing doesn't understand now because she hasn't discovered her own strengths. Han Chuan believes that once she sees her own abilities, Jiang Yuqing will definitely change her mind.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Han Chuan's originally gloomy face.
He is full of confidence about the plans he is about to embark on.
"Kid, all you do is use tricks and petty tricks. What kind of skill is that? If you're so capable, compete with me fairly!"
After thinking for a while, Han Chuan approached Jiang Bai again and made this request.
"Idiot~"
What was infuriating was that Jiang Bai merely raised an eyelid, said this to Han Chuan, and then waved his hand impatiently as if shooing away a fly, before lying down and falling asleep with his eyes half-closed.
This almost made Han Chuan fly into a rage on the spot, and he no longer cared about manners or anything like that.
But in the end, he restrained himself, forced to look at Jiang Bai with patience, and stopped himself from gritting his teeth, trying to speak calmly to Jiang Bai:
"Don't you think it's incredibly rude of you to talk to me like that? Fair competition is the norm. I can see you like Miss Jiang, and I like her too, so I'm competing with you fairly. Don't you even have that much courage? Are you even a man?"
"Do you really think Miss Jiang will like what you're doing? And..."
Jiang Bai was thoroughly annoyed by these words. He sat up straight, frowned, and looked at Han Chuan, who was rambling on and on as if he had a lot to say. He said with extreme impatience:
"Can you shut up? Aren't you annoying? Are you an idiot?"
"Can you stay away from me? I don't want to waste my breath on this plane. If you keep spouting nonsense, believe me, I'll slap you twice!"
One sentence made Han Chuan, who thought he had persuaded Jiang Bai, immediately stop smiling and remain speechless for a long time.
"You...you...you have no manners!"
After struggling for a while, Han Chuan still couldn't come up with a reason. He just left with this sentence and turned away.
This left Jiang Bai speechless. What he did just now seemed rather rude, but this guy was really annoying. Jiang Bai felt that he had only cursed at him a couple of times and hadn't actually hit him, which was already a very polite thing to do.
Soon, the plane landed, and Han Chuan left his seat without saying a word and was the first to leave the plane.
Jiang Bai, on the other hand, did not leave immediately. He made an appointment with Jiang Yuqing to wait for him outside the airport before finally leaving.
Stepping out of Tiandu Airport, Jiang Bai stood there, spreading his arms and breathing in the familiar air, feeling better than ever before.
Although he may have inhaled a lot of smog, the familiar feeling made Jiang Bai feel happy.
Jiang Bai's sensation lasted only a few minutes before a familiar voice rang out: "Why haven't you left yet? Are you taking a taxi here? Should I call a driver to take you home first?"
The voice belonged to Han Chuan without Jiang Bai even turning around.
Turning my head, I saw it was indeed this kid.
Wow, quite a few people. Three cars are waiting: two vans in front and one behind, and a Rolls-Royce in the middle. It's quite a lineup. At this moment, Han Chuan leaned against the back seat of the Rolls-Royce in the middle, opened the window and looked at Jiang Bai.
Four burly men in black suits stood ramrod straight beside his car, attracting the attention of passersby.
Occasionally, a few brightly dressed women would walk by, openly flirting with Han Chuan.
Han Chuan was very pleased with himself, and although he didn't show it too obviously, Jiang Bai could still see it clearly.
"Yeah, I give you full marks for that show-off."
Jiang Bai walked slowly toward Han Chuan, lit a cigarette, and smoked it in public. He took a deep drag and exhaled a layer of white smoke, which he blew directly onto Han Chuan's face, causing Han Chuan to cough repeatedly and say something.
The words caused Han Chuan, who was coughing, to blush slightly. Then, anger welled up in his heart, and several bodyguards, sensing the situation, immediately surrounded Jiang Bai, blocking him from the outside. Judging from their fierce appearance, it seemed that Han Chuan could give Jiang Bai a good beating at any moment.
"What? Are you planning to call someone to beat me up?"
Jiang Bai glanced at the four burly men, each at least 1.9 meters tall, and smiled noncommittally.
"Stop! Who gave you permission to attack? Go back!"
Han Chuan's voice rang out at this moment, dispersing his four bodyguards.
He then glanced at Jiang Bai and said coldly, "Let me tell you, your pestering of Yuqing will not end well. Do you expect her to take a taxi just to go out with you?"
"Furthermore, I have serious doubts about your character. It's clear that you haven't received a high level of education, which I can observe from your words and actions."
"To be honest, although I haven't spent much time with her, I can tell that Yuqing is a quiet, elegant, and highly cultured girl. She and you are not compatible at all. Take my advice and don't waste her time!"
After saying that, he slammed the car window shut and didn't say another word to Jiang Bai, as if saying another word to Jiang Bai would be a very low-class thing to do.
Chapter 197 Huh, the convoy?
In fact, not only Han Chuan, but also the four bodyguards with Han Chuan, the three drivers in the car next to him, and a female secretary, all unconsciously showed a hint of disdain towards Jiang Bai.
It seems that Jiang Bai really is, as Han Chuan said, a prime example of a toad trying to eat swan meat.
This left Jiang Bai speechless.
Jiang Bai unconsciously looked himself over and gave a wry smile.
The cheap clothes he was wearing were gone. The outfit he was wearing was something Jiang Yuqing had accompanied him to buy before. It wasn't a designer brand, at most a regular brand, and the total cost of the whole outfit was only a few thousand yuan.
There was no one to pick her up after she left the airport. Jiang Yuqing was waiting for someone, and she would have to take a taxi back later.
Compared to Han Chuan, he exudes an overwhelming sense of being a loser.
It's no wonder that Han Chuan and his group of people seemed to look down on him; Jiang Bai deeply understood their behavior.
In this materialistic society, I am nowhere near as good as Han Chuan, who is worth billions.
"Xiao Tian, I'm back. Come pick me up... um, and a bunch of friends too, call a couple more cars..."
Jiang Bai thought about it for a while, but still couldn't resist calling Xiao Tian.
Taking a taxi himself was fine; Jiang Bai didn't care about such trivial things.
Let's bring Jiang Yuqing along; it's really not a big deal.
But since I've said I'm treating a group of people to dinner, I can't expect everyone to take a taxi, especially with Han Chuan waiting there. I can't be too undignified.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Jiang Bai saw Jiang Yuqing and her group walking out chatting and laughing in the distance.
Not only her, but also two or three crew members and seven or eight flight attendants, a total of more than a dozen people, came out from inside carrying suitcases, chatting and laughing.
When Jiang Bai saw them, Han Chuan, who had been waiting in the car, also saw them. He straightened his light blue suit, and after confirming that it was neat, he led four bodyguards and a female secretary, and walked over in a grand procession.
"Yuqing, I've been waiting here for a long time. Let's get in the car, have a meal together, and then I'll take you back."
Trying to appear as a gentleman, Han Chuan, walking in front, revealed a sincere and bright smile and said this.
He seemed to have completely forgotten all the unpleasantness that had happened before, acting as if it had never occurred.
In the past, such a gesture would naturally have elicited ambiguous smiles.
This time, apart from the four male crew members, the others didn't laugh once from beginning to end, and their behavior was quite indifferent.
Which of these seven or eight girls doesn't know Jiang Bai?
They didn't know much about Jiang Bai's background, but since they were all locals from Hong Kong, Dou Bin and Yang Yong could easily find out.
Therefore, they were well aware of Jiang Bai's true identity, despite the fact that these two people were fawning over him.
This is Jiang Bai's home turf. Offending Jiang Bai here? Unless they've lost their minds.
Moreover... Jiang Bai had helped them so much before, and they understood the simple principle of repaying kindness.
Only one flight attendant, unaware of the situation, smiled broadly and teased Jiang Yuqing, "Yuqing, Mr. Han is so good to you, waiting here especially for you. We're going to benefit from this; it looks like we'll have a good meal tonight."
His remark made several crew members nearby laugh; the captain and pilots all joked about it.
We're all colleagues and often joke around with each other, so this time was no exception.
As soon as the flight attendant spoke, Han Chuan immediately gave her a grateful look, and his smile widened.
After speaking, he made an inviting gesture and gestured to the people around him to help Jiang Yuqing with her luggage.
However, Jiang Yuqing, who was frowning, refused to do so. Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Bai's familiar voice came from behind Han Chuan.
"Hey, Mr. Han, what you're doing seems a bit unethical. I made an appointment with Yuqing first. Why are you causing trouble here?"
One sentence made Han Chuan's expression change. The smile on his face disappeared and he frowned. He turned to look at Jiang Bai, who was acting somewhat nonchalant, and couldn't help but say, "I know you two have made an agreement, but how are you going to take Yuqing away now? Are you going to find a taxi?"
"With so many friends, you'll probably need to find several taxis."
These words clearly showed disdain for Jiang Bai, and caused the surrounding people to change color, especially the flight attendants who knew Jiang Bai, whose faces showed disgust.
On the contrary, Han Chuan and his group all revealed a hint of sneer.
"How about this, if this gentleman is willing, he can ride with us in our car. I think our CEO Han won't mind having one more person. You can also have dinner with us, which will save us the cost of paying the bill."
Han Chuan's female secretary was definitely suspected of flattering him, and at this moment she stepped forward to add insult to injury, saying such sarcastic things.
Anyone with eyes can see that she looks down on Jiang Bai.
At this moment, Jiang Bai's expression was also not very good. He deeply abhorred the behavior of the group in front of him and said coldly, "No need, do whatever you want, just don't let me see you. I don't like you and your master! You lapdog have no right to talk to me."
To be honest, Jiang Bai's words were hardly polite, especially to a woman.
But he still couldn't help it. He really didn't have a good impression of this kind of person, even if she was a woman. Jiang Bai didn't speak politely to her.
One sentence made several girls who were familiar with Jiang Bai purse their lips.
Han Chuan's face turned cold, and the expressions of his bodyguards changed as well, and they all surrounded Jiang Bai.
One of them stretched out his hand, looking as if he was about to make a move.
Wow, so many cars!
Just then, someone nearby cried out in surprise, drawing the attention of the tense crowd.
Following the gaze of the crowd, a line of cars drove in from afar, all Audi A8s, six in the front and six in the back, with a black Bentley in the center.
It was undoubtedly an extremely luxurious and impressive motorcade.
Individually speaking, such a million-dollar luxury car is not rare; there are too many rich people in Tiandu.
Luxury cars are as common as hairs on a cow.
However, such motorcades are rarely seen except when welcoming a bride.
This is an airport, and it doesn't look like a wedding procession.
If it's not a wedding procession, then the motorcade is here to pick someone up.
This is truly remarkable; such grandeur is rare even in the capital.
The car then came to a swift stop, and one by one, burly men in sharp black suits stepped out. They were all dressed in black suits and wore sunglasses, exuding an imposing aura.
Chapter 198 A Kind Reminder
What's even more surprising is that after coming down, this group of people quickly walked over, led by a young man.
This surprised Han Chuan's bodyguards, who were about to make a move.
In just over ten seconds, they were surrounded by the group, who had completely encircled them.
At this point, even a fool would know that something was wrong, especially after the leader spoke, their expressions changed drastically.
"Master Jiang, what's wrong?"
The speaker was none other than Jiang Bai's driver, Xiao Tian.
Jiang Bai called him earlier, and he immediately made arrangements, rushing over without stopping. Fortunately, the rush hour was over, and he and his group ignored traffic lights and drove recklessly, arriving in just over twenty minutes.
I saw this scene as soon as I got off the bus. Someone actually tried to attack Jiang Bai?
Did they make a move against Jiang Bai in Tiandu?
How could Xiao Tian let the other party succeed?
Without saying a word, a group of people surrounded him, just waiting for Jiang Bai's order to teach the other party a lesson.
"It's nothing, just a big fly, annoying, always bothering my friend, so I said a few words," Jiang Bai said with a light laugh.
As for who the "big fly" he mentioned is, it's already obvious. Who else could it be but Han Chuan?
These words made Han Chuan's face extremely ugly, but he could also see that the situation was unfavorable to him. Jiang Bai's situation was obviously unexpected, which made him completely overturn his previous judgment.
The other party is neither a loser nor a small business owner with a little money, so why wouldn't they know about Han's Cosmetics?
It seems that the other party wasn't unaware of this, but rather simply didn't take me seriously at all.
"Leave it to me?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian followed Jiang Bai's gaze to Han Chuan, and then tentatively asked.
As for what the other party did or their identity, that was not even a consideration for him.
Offend Master Jiang, no matter who you are, he'll make you regret it!
This is Xiaotian's life motto!
"What are you dealing with! Are you a gangster? Let's go, get someone to help my friend with his luggage."
Jiang Bai said irritably.
Xiao Tian and his friends had been hanging out with Xu Jie for a long time, and their speech was full of slang and vulgarity, which made Jiang Bai very uncomfortable.
What should we deal with? Did we kill them?
Is it worth it?
Although he knew perfectly well that Xiao Tian and his group were absolutely capable of doing such a thing.
It's important to know that Empire Entertainment is involved in numerous entertainment industries. With its own capital, Xu Jie expanded aggressively, and according to his understanding, it now owns at least seventy or eighty venues of various kinds.
Such places inevitably need people to maintain order, and Xu Jie has gathered at least a thousand of these people under his control.
It goes without saying what kind of people they are.
However, these people are essential for running these entertainment venues; otherwise, it would be difficult to sustain them. Jiang Bai was well aware of this, so he did not object.
However, this does not mean that Jiang Bai allows them to act like this on a regular basis and to really consider themselves to be like Yang Yong.
What did Jiang Bai become?
A gang leader?
"Uh, okay."
Upon hearing Jiang Bai's words, Xiao Tian immediately stopped his prepared harsh words, gave an awkward smile, and then nodded.
The people behind them quickly and sensibly helped Jiang Yuqing and the others with their luggage, and then led them away.
This time, Jiang Yuqing did not refuse. She handed over her luggage and left with Jiang Bai without saying a word to Han Chuan from beginning to end.
As for Jiang Yuqing's friends and colleagues, those who knew Jiang Bai were naturally sensible and extremely willing to help, while those who didn't know him also wisely gave Han Chuan an apologetic smile and left together.
Even the girl who had just spoken up for Han Chuan and joked with Jiang Yuqing was no exception.
Soon the group left the gate and got into their cars. Just before getting in, Jiang Bai suddenly remembered something and whispered a few words to Xiao Tian. Xiao Tian then immediately ran over to Han Chuan.
"Master Jiang said that Miss Jiang Yuqing is his friend, and the two of them have a good relationship. He hopes you won't bother her in the future!"
"Why should he?! I won't give up! What right does he have to stop me from pursuing Yuqing?!"
One sentence made Han Chuan, whose face was already pale, show anger on his face, and he said it almost through gritted teeth.
Fortunately, he remained rational and knew that his side was outnumbered, so he did not rush over, but he resolutely rejected Xiaotian's suggestion.
"Hey, whether you listen or not is your business. Anyway, I've given you what Jiang Ye said. Also, consider this a friendly reminder: go back and find out exactly who Jiang Ye is before you decide whether to refuse or not."
Xiao Tian chuckled and said nonchalantly, then turned and walked away, jogging all the way to Jiang Bai's car. He opened the driver's side door and got in.
A moment later, under the watchful eyes of many, the convoy disappeared from Han Chuan's sight, and the bodyguards around Han Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"You bunch of good-for-nothings! I spend so much money supporting you, and you always brag like that, saying you can take on several people at once, that you're experts? Elites? Special forces veterans? Bah! Why didn't you make a move just now? You didn't even dare to breathe loudly, just letting them talk like that? A bunch of useless trash! You've made me lose all face!"
After Jiang Bai and the others left, Han Chuan finally reacted and angrily roared at the bodyguards beside him who had just breathed a sigh of relief.
It's as if they're trying to regain some face in this way.
Even he himself felt that his behavior just now was too embarrassing.
Just a few minutes ago, he was bragging and showing utter contempt and ridicule towards Jiang Bai.
As soon as the other party arrived, he immediately chickened out and didn't say a word from beginning to end.
What's even more infuriating is that Jiang Bai completely ignored him, which is unbearable for Han Chuan, who usually thinks highly of himself.
As soon as Jiang Bai left, he immediately turned on his bodyguards.
"Make a move? Don't be ridiculous!"
The bodyguards looked at each other. They weren't stupid; on the contrary, they were all skilled. Otherwise, the Han family wouldn't have paid them tens of thousands of yuan a month to serve as Han Chuan's personal bodyguards.
That's precisely why they felt the pressure just now; the previous twenty-odd people were all experts.
Moreover, they were all highly skilled individuals who had seen blood and killed people, a fact they could clearly sense.
Although they thought highly of themselves, any one of those people could easily take them down.
If one is so difficult to deal with, imagine if twenty or more came at once?
Fight them? You're asking for it!
Even if you don't want this job, you shouldn't do this.
They're just doing odd jobs, not risking their lives. It's not worth risking your life for your sake, Young Master Han.
Chapter 199 It Sounds Familiar
"Young Master, it's not that we don't want to fight, it's just that even if we did, we couldn't beat them... Don't be fooled by appearances. Those guys might seem weaker than us, or even stronger, but that's just on the surface. If it really came down to it, we'd be in for a very bad time..."
Beside him, a bodyguard who usually had a fairly good relationship with Han Chuan finally couldn't help but answer with a low, wry smile.
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Han Chuan was startled. He had spoken those words because he was angry.
In fact, he knew his four bodyguards' capabilities well. In a real fight, one of them could easily take on three or four ordinary people. They were all standard veterans of field troops.
They are very powerful and have a high opinion of themselves.
You're already backing down before even making a move?
I've never seen anything like this before.
They still vividly remember how someone threatened and attacked them, and how the four of them beat a dozen of them to a pulp.
"You don't know much about fighting, so you can't tell. Those guys just now were all people who had seen blood and killed people. They were all murderous when they came over, which was terrifying. I wonder who this guy called Master Jiang is. How did he manage to recruit so many experts to be his followers?"
"You know, it's extremely difficult to find even one expert like that."
Another bodyguard said in a low voice, his face full of doubt as he spoke.
Such people do exist, but they are usually very arrogant and rarely travel in groups, let alone become followers of others.
This is truly rare.
Little did he know that these people were all recruited by Xiao Tian and Xu Jie. Each of them had an impressive resume, and most of them were retired members of their unit or top soldiers in other fields.
He left the army for various reasons and was recruited by Xiao Tian and Xu Jie to become Jiang Bai's protective force.
Even if someone is extremely wealthy, you simply can't find them.
And even if you find it, you can't subdue it.
The reason these people were willing to follow Jiang Bai as his lackeys was not only because of the generous salary and benefits, but more importantly because of Jiang Bai's strength, which convinced them.
The bodyguard's words silenced everyone around him.
Han Chuan was especially curious about this. Xiao Tian's warning was still fresh in his mind, and the outstanding performance of Jiang Bai and his group made him even more curious.
"You all heard what that person said. What do you think of it?"
Han Chuan asked his subordinates, referring to Xiao Tian.
"Well... it's hard to say, but with a group of people like this following them, I think their strength is not weak."
One person answered in this way.
"Speaking of Master Jiang… Just now, that person mentioned Master Jiang, and I feel like I've remembered something, like I've heard someone mention him before, but I can't quite place it…"
One of them frowned, as if deep in thought, and muttered to himself to the person next to him.
"Hey, now that you mention it, it sounds familiar too," someone else said.
"It can't be..."
Everyone suddenly realized what was happening and gasped in shock.
One of them spoke with a tone of surprise and doubt, glancing around at his companions as if trying to get a definite answer from them.
"I think there's no one else but him. We're so stupid. Who in the world would dare to call himself Master Jiang? And he seems to be around the same age. I'm pretty sure it's him." A bodyguard gave a bitter laugh and said dryly.
"Young Master, I advise you to give up on that Miss Jiang. Well, you'd better never think about it again… I will talk to the Chairman about this. If you insist on going your own way, then we will have no choice but to leave."
A bodyguard spoke dryly to Han Chuan, and his words immediately won the approval of those around him.
The usually loyal bodyguards decided almost without hesitation that if Han Chuan insisted on going his own way, they would leave immediately, even if it meant giving up their generous salaries.
"What do you mean? Is he really that amazing?"
Han Chuan wasn't stupid. He saw the reactions of the bodyguards around him and naturally understood that things weren't as simple as he thought. Jiang Bai's identity was more than he suspected.
"Amazing? More than amazing! Young Master, how should I put it, nowadays in Tiandu, and even in the surrounding provinces, everyone trembles at the mere mention of Master Jiang's name."
Although Master Jiang doesn't get involved in anything specific, his reputation is now rivaling that of Master Zhao.
One of the bodyguards gave a wry smile and said.
"Chasing after Master Zhao? And who is Master Zhao?"
His words left the people around him speechless. If an ordinary person didn't know who Master Zhao was, they would understand.
Master Zhao's reputation has been awe-inspiring in the capital for over a decade, but few ordinary people know about him. His name is mostly known only among the upper echelons of society. Only those who have achieved a certain status and are well-informed know of Master Zhao's existence.
But the Han family is worth billions, how come you don't even know who Master Zhao is?
Yes... you went abroad when you were young and received your education there from a young age. You've only been back for a little over a year.
But after more than a year, you don't even know who Master Zhao is? What kind of business are you doing in Tiandu?
Unconsciously, the bodyguards began to have doubts about their future. How much could such a young master, who had inherited the company, possibly achieve in the future? It was easy to imagine.
"What Jiang Ye? He's all that. He seems to have a big reputation. Do you think our Han Corporation can't afford to mess with him? You should know that our Han Corporation's assets are at least tens of billions. Judging from your tone, is he a thug? A gangster? Do you think we can't even afford to offend someone like that?"
"Given the connections of the Han family, shouldn't the Tiandu Police Station be able to help us resolve this with just a phone call? Would we allow someone like this to threaten a large corporation like ours?"
"Even if he is, no matter how powerful he is, I don't believe he can stand up to the Han family! We are major taxpayers in the area, and the local government will protect us from harassment. What are you afraid of? I think you've watched too many police dramas. You really think you can take someone like this seriously?"
"I'll have my father call the local police station right away and ask them to handle it. I refuse to believe they can't solve this problem."
Han Chuan ignored his bodyguards' good intentions and, upon hearing this introduction, instead uttered these words with great conviction.
At this moment, he felt relieved and thought Jiang Bai was nothing to worry about.
With Han's assets and his status in the cosmetics industry, just based on the fact that he just threatened me, I could send that person to jail with just one phone call!
His words caused the people around him to smile wryly, and for a moment, they didn't know what to say.
Is this person really that naive?
It's better to be stupid!
