Ye Chen stepped forward and touched Old Master Chu's forehead: "He doesn't have a fever!"

"Hey old man, what's gotten into you? Are you treating this 10% share transfer like it's nothing?"

Grandpa Chu shoved Ye Chen's hand away and said irritably, "I'm perfectly fine!"

Ye Chen was a little puzzled: "You said you have a son and a grandson, a large and prosperous family, why would you give such a good deal to an outsider like me? Although I saved you and your grandson, is it really necessary to do this much? I have an anti-fraud app downloaded, don't lie to me!"

Grandpa Chu blinked: "No, shouldn't a normal person be shocked and overjoyed upon hearing such incredible news? Why is your thought process different from others?"

"Oh, because I'm very aware of scams. Think about it yourself, there's no such thing as a free lunch!" Ye Chen said calmly.

(Except for the system!)

"Besides, while the shares are easy to acquire, what if I need to invest again or take on debts? Or what if other members of your Chu family cause me trouble? There are too many problems. Forget it, I dare not take your shares!"

Old Master Chu opened his mouth, "Go ahead and ask around, what debts does the Chu family have? It's just a few hundred billion in bank loans!"

Ye Chen almost fell off the bed. Good heavens, it's only a few hundred billion! Well then, he dares not take these shares so easily.

"I don't want your returns; you can leave the shares to your descendants!" Ye Chen firmly stated his position.

How can you just take other people's things? That's so wrong!

We must uphold traditional virtues.

This is probably the first time Old Master Chu has tried to give away shares, but the other party has firmly refused!

What kind of nonsense is this!

There really are still people who treat money like dirt these days!

Ye Chen's refusal left both Grandpa Chu and Chu Xiaofei speechless.

Chu Xiaofei hurriedly said, "Brother Ye, you only need to collect your monthly dividends. Why wouldn't you want such a good deal? This is like getting rich overnight!"

Ye Chen waved his hand: "I've seen skyscrapers rise and fall, and I don't think I have the character to handle so much money. You can keep these shares for yourselves!"

Old Master Chu shook his head helplessly: "I didn't expect you to have such composure. Being able to remain calm even under the temptation of huge profits proves even more that I didn't misjudge you!"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I wish you a speedy recovery!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen was about to get up.

He has no intention of taking the shares in the Chu family group; internal affairs within such large families are always incredibly troublesome.

If an outsider like him were to acquire shares, it would inevitably attract envy.

Countless troubles will come knocking at your door!

This is not what Ye Chen wanted to see.

Besides, he's not short of money, so there's no need for him to take advantage of this situation.

Tens of millions or billions are just numbers to him; he could never spend them all even if he spent them normally.

Of course, desires have no upper limit; if you want the best of everything, that's another story.

He finds both the Rolex and the G-Class easy to drive and impressive, but he can also drive the Audi A6, which is reasonably comfortable.

It's just a means of transportation, why make it so conspicuous? He's not going to pick up girls.

If he drove a Rolls-Royce back home, his relatives and friends would be lining up at his door!

Many things can change!

Furthermore, his social circle is different from those of respectable second-generation rich kids; he doesn't need luxury cars as a calling card.

The second generation may need luxury cars and watches to impress others and pave the way for their social circles and connections, but he doesn't need that.

Luxury cars and watches aren't his necessities. If he wants to experience them, he can rent a car. There's no need for him to possess everything.

Otherwise, today you want to drive a G-Wagon, tomorrow a Patton, the day after a Lamborghini, and then later you want to fly a plane...

We can't possibly buy them all, can we?

Consumer desires will only expand infinitely. If you don't have any self-awareness, you won't even recognize your own parents in three months.

Perhaps it was the fact that he had lived a simple and uneventful life for more than 20 years that instilled in him a sense of justice.

Seeing Ye Chen get up, Old Master Chu hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.

"Hey, don't rush off, sit a little longer. Let's not talk about shares anymore. I heard from Old Su that you're also a Tai Chi enthusiast and have even developed internal strength?" Old Master Chu changed the subject.

Ye Chen nodded; it wasn't something worth hiding.

Chu Xiaofei brewed Ye Chen a cup of tea and brought it over: "Brother Ye, have some tea, sit down and let's chat. My grandfather has a lot to tell you!"

Ye Chen took the tea, took a sip, and sat down again.

After pondering for a while, Old Master Chu spoke: "It's rare to see someone so young develop internal strength these days. Here, Xiao Fei, take that thing out!"

Chu Xiaofei was slightly taken aback, but he still picked up a long wooden box from the side, his little eyes filled with reluctance.

He didn't have this expression even when he acquired just 10% of the group's shares. Could the contents of the box be very valuable?

Ye Chen couldn't help but become interested.

Could it be some kind of calligraphy or painting by a famous person?

Old Master Chu took the box and opened it. Inside was not any calligraphy or painting, but a simple, antique sword.

The small sword is about 40cm long, and is entirely black and gold in color; it's unclear what material it's made of.

The sword is engraved with seven stars, giving it a mysterious feel.

"This is a Seven Star Sword. Although it looks ordinary, it is said to be a magical artifact. I'll give it to you as a keepsake!"

After saying that, Old Master Chu handed the box to Ye Chen!

"This is a bit valuable, would it be inappropriate for me to accept it?" Ye Chen said, but his hands honestly took the wooden box.

He didn't know whether it was a ritual implement or not, but he guessed it had been blessed by some high monk or something.

However, he quite liked this little sword.

Perhaps it was just a matter of first impressions.

The small sword looks quite old, giving it a strong sense of history.

"Hehe, it's just a small item, not worth much money. I'm glad you like it, young friend!" Old Master Chu said casually.

Chu Xiaofei curled his lip: "Brother Ye, this little sword is priceless. Someone once offered 10 billion, but my grandfather didn't sell it!"

Ye Chen was slightly stunned. Holy crap, 10 billion? This little sword is worth 10 billion?

Was he drunk, or was the person who bought the sword drunk?

Seeing Ye Chen's suspicious expression, Chu Xiaofei stepped forward and carefully took out the small sword from the box.

"Brother Ye, watch carefully!"

As Chu Xiaofei spoke, he picked up a fruit knife from the table next to him and forcefully clashed the knife and the sword together.

"when--"

A metallic clang resounded throughout the room.

Ye Chen thought to himself, "I hope this fine antique sword doesn't chip. That would be such a waste."

But Chu Xiaofei daring to play like this seems a bit illogical. Could it be that this little sword...

As Ye Chen's thoughts raced, he saw the Seven Star Sword, completely undamaged, while the stainless steel fruit knife had a large nick.

Ye Chen couldn't help but stand up, take the fruit knife from Chu Xiaofei's hand, and examine it.

Holy crap! This is a fruit knife made of 316 stainless steel, and it's quite thick too.
