Ace of the Dragon Division

Chapter 371: Going to Teach Them a Life Lesson

Ye Xiu introduced to Xu Cheng, “This is the base camp of our club. In the future, you can just come here and spend the night whenever you want, all expenses covered. If you feel like any area is lacking, just give me a call.”

At the door, Wang An had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that Ye Xiu actually got Xu Cheng to come over, he was a bit surprised.

“Holy crap, you were actually in Yanjing?” Wang An asked Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng: “Yeah, it wasn’t convenient for me to take calls earlier. What happened?”

Ye Xiu cursed and asked Wang An, “I facking brought him here, where are those guys?”

Wang An said in an odd tone, “They are inside. They said that if you don’t come back soon, they would smash this place.”

Ye Xiu gestured with his mouth. “Let’s go!”

Then, he dragged Xu Cheng into the club.

The three of them arrived at a bowling room, and they saw 5 or so burly guys bowling there. Seeing that Ye Xiu was back, they immediately said mockingly, “Old Ye, if you came up any later, I probably would’ve already gotten someone to come and trash this place.”

Xu Cheng asked curiously, “Why trash this place?”

Ye Xiu snorted. “Our Special Forces Club couldn’t compete with the Princelings Club (TL Note: descendants of prominent and influential senior communist officials in China) and they think we lost face for the military people. These guys want to rebel and replace us, so they tried to bribe our people to go join them and start up a new club so they could compete better with the Princelings under better leadership. However, our existence made them feel that we are not united enough if the military has two separate clubs, so they think only one should continue to operate from now on.”

Xu Cheng asked Ye Xiu: “They are here to close us down?”

Ye Xiu nodded. “Yeah, you didn’t notice that I was blowing up your phone with countless calls? Now, you are the only card left for our club. If you win, these guys will willingly be integrated into our club, so our two groups will merge into one. But if you lose, we will be replaced, and our rankings will also be reassigned. In the future, the club’s member treatment rules will also be re-established, but everything will be centered around them.”

Xu Cheng nodded.

Ye Xiu walked over to those guys that were bowling and said, “Let me introduce to you guys, this is the nominal president of our Top Special Forces club, Xu Cheng.”
The guy with a buzz cut was too lazy to even look up at Ye Xiu and the others. He was playing on his phone, and when he heard the name “Xu Cheng”, he looked up and glanced at him, asking in disdain. “So this is that powerhouse you were boasting about that day? The guy that you said not even 10 of your top guys could handle at once?”

His companions laughed sneerfully. “Just listen to him boast. His club doesn’t have anyone good anyways, how good would 10 pieces of garbage added together be?’’

He looked at Ye Xiu and said, “Old Ye, don’t blame us for this. We all grew up together, and over the years, you said you wanted to start a club and we let you, but what were you doing? You allowed all kinds of people to join, and it let people think that any cat or dog can just join in and leech off of us. Since we can’t reach an agreement on how to run his thing, we can only handle it like men. You think your guys are capable, then bring them out, and let’s have some fun. Whoever loses will give up their management rights. This sounds fair, right?”

Ye Xiu nodded. “Yes, but you wanted to kick out the brothers from grassroot origins. That, I cannot agree with.”

The guys on the other side replied, “We have no option. If you don’t filter out the quality of people in this circle, how are we going to compete with the princelings?”

Ye Xiu: “As long as they have the capabilities, it’s enough. Why care about their background? You think that the Princeling Club doesn’t have any garbage? They are filled with people that can only think with the lower half of their bodies. We are already a lot better in comparison.”

“Have the capabilities? From the ones you recruited, only Bagh is alright. What capabilities do the others have? Just kick them out already, what’s the use of keeping them?”

The guy with the buzz cut was out of patience. “Alright, why waste time? Just play with the old rules, have a fight, and the winner does whatever they want. Why spend time on words?”

At that moment, Xu Cheng stood out and asked, “What did grassroots do to you?”

“Bro, it’s not that we just look down on grassroots. However, for those like you who actually think you are some important character and rub off the glow of the club, that’s what we are disgusted by,” the other side lifted his brows and said.

Ye Xiu was getting slightly angered. “Old Zhou, careful with your words.”

That guy nicknamed Old Zhou directly snorted, “I know he’s also a grassroot, the champion of this year’s competition, named Xu Cheng, right? As a favor for you, Old Ye, Bagh and him can stay, but the other guys have to be reassessed. How about that?’

Xu Cheng sneered, “Is this the so-called club that’s most united?” (TL Note: when Ye Xiu introduced this club to Xu Cheng earlier, he said the Special Forces club was the most united in comparison to other clubs)

Then, he turned around and left.

Ye Xiu and Wang An directly walked over, pulled him back, and said, “Old Xu, what are you doing?”

Xu Cheng: “You don’t know that I hate this kind of class discrimination the most?

Ye Xiu: “I hate it too, and that’s why I told you to come over. Look over there where Bagh is.”

Not far away, Bagh was standing with 30 or so club members.

“What happened to them?” Xu Cheng curiously asked.

Ye Xiu sighed. “If our club really gets replaced this time, most of those bros that come from grassroots like you will have to leave. Although we wouldn’t be affected much, it would be a day and night difference to their lives. They still need the club to expand their network, and that way, they can still stay in the city and get a decent job after they retire. If they don’t have the support of this club, most of them will probably have to go back to their farms after they retire or whatever lives they lived before joining the military. Bagh’s fine, I’m not worried about him, but what would happen to those behind him that aren’t as outstanding?”

Wang An nodded. “Bagh isn’t qualified in those people’s eyes to talk to them, and that’s why I called you over. Just teach those people a lesson like you did in Britain.”

He then gestured with his mouth at those people behind them, “Teach them a life lesson.”

Xu Cheng looked at those people standing with Bagh, and after a long sigh, he said, “You guys really think I’m a professor now?”

Ye Xiu laughed. “Yeah, pretty much.”

Originally, Xu Cheng didn’t want to make a big fuss out of it, but when he saw those rising rookies from the military that came from grassroots just like him and how no matter how hard they worked in the military, no one would pave the road for them for them after they retire, he had no choice but to agree.

Xu Cheng nodded. He turned around and walked back to those guys and said, “You guys want to replace the management here, right?”

Sensing a change in tone in Xu Cheng’s tone, that group of 6 all turned over to look at him with interest. They lifted their eyebrows and said, “You got a problem?”

Xu Cheng didn’t talk. He walked up to them, and he suddenly smashed down on the corner of a pool table beside them, breaking it off. He provocatively said, “I’d like to see you try.”

The buzz-cut dude on his phone looked at Ye Xiu and asked, “So we are doing the old rules?”

Ye Xiu nodded. “Win this big bro, and we will combine with you with you taking over as management. If you can’t win, then you guys join and then follow our rules!”
