After a while, Ji Chen followed Xia Zhonggeng to the door of his house.

During the conversation, Ji Chen also confirmed the identity of the other party. It was indeed the Nanyue chess master Xia Zhonggeng.

When he arrived at the gate, Xia Zhonggeng took out the gate electronic card from his pocket, made a "beep" sound at the sensor, and stretched out his hand to push open the gate in front of him.

"Actually, I still prefer the old wooden door. It's just that it's broken because of its age. My eldest grandson directly replaced it with this kind of door for me, saying that it is safe and anti-theft."

"What can be remembered in my old yard?"

Xia Zhonggeng said, and led Ji Chen into the door.

When Ji Chen entered the door and saw the scene in the yard, he was obviously stunned.

This is a small Chinese courtyard, paved with quaint Chinese patterned tiles, and there are ancient water-crossing facilities, matched with stepping stones, close to nature, and the wooden building facilities of the whole building are simple and quaint.

The entrance door is made into a landscape wall to increase privacy and visual charm.

There is a tea drinking and sitting area, which is leisurely and elegant.

The rockery and water pond are smart and comfortable with the plant flowerbed.

The whole courtyard is full of vitality, as if it is a small world with a different world.

I have to admit that Ji Chen, who has an old soul, was instantly attracted by this simple Chinese courtyard.

In fact, compared with those commercial houses in big cities, owning such a small courtyard must be more comfortable and casual.

"Mr. Xia, your courtyard is really nice."

Ji Chen followed behind Xia Zhonggeng and couldn't help but sigh.

The latter smiled upon hearing this and said, "I thought you young people all liked those tall buildings."

Xia Zhonggeng said, looking around the yard, paused slightly, and smiled, "It seems that my little granddaughter came to clean for me, but she should have gone out now, otherwise the little girl would have greeted me when I entered the door."

Ji Chen heard Xia Zhonggeng's words, looked into the yard, and asked, "Is there usually no one living here?"

Xia Zhonggeng led Ji Chen to the tea area, with a somewhat aggrieved look on his face, and said, "No, my wife is busy taking care of my grandson in the capital now!"

"Son, daughter, grandson, and grandson are usually very busy, and usually don't have much time."

Xia Zhonggeng said, and took Ji Chen to the tea pavilion in the yard, motioned him to sit down, and began to make tea.

The tea utensils and the like had been cleaned up and spotless.

In fact, he also wanted to ask Ji Chen if he had time in the future, and whether he could come to sit with him more often and play chess with him.

But then he thought again, he had no other relationship with her, so such a request was definitely unreasonable.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhonggeng looked at Ji Chen while making tea, and said, "Xiao Ji, have you decided to buy the factory building of Jiaxin Garment Factory?"

Ji Chen nodded immediately after hearing this, and said, "Well, as long as the price is within my tolerance, I want to take it over as soon as possible."

Xia Zhonggeng smiled meaningfully after hearing Ji Chen's words, and said, "Are you really just going to take over and make clothes? If you are just making clothes, why don't you just rent it from me?"

The more Xia Zhonggeng got along with Ji Chen, the more he felt that this kid was not as simple as he seemed.

After all, the land in Xike Village is notoriously worthless for investment.

This kid actually wanted to spend a lot of money to buy a factory building for him directly. Normal people would not do such a thing, right?

And the most important thing is that before he came here yesterday, he heard his son mention some policies about Xike Village in the future.

Facing Xia Zhonggeng's sharp question, Ji Chen thought for a moment before he smiled and said, "To be honest, Mr. Xia, I want to buy your factory and take a risk. Maybe the price will go up in a year or two."

After all, the person sitting opposite him is also a meticulous chess master. Even if Ji Chen wants to use other excuses to deceive him, he will probably be seen through by the other party at a glance.

Sure enough, Xia Zhonggeng was not surprised at all when he heard Ji Chen's words. He even smiled calmly and handed Ji Chen a cup of tea.

Seeing the tea handed over by the other party, Ji Chen quickly stood up and took it, "Thank you, Mr. Xia."

Xia Zhonggeng looked at the polite young man opposite and admired him more. Then he smiled and said to Ji Chen,

"Since you are so sincere in wanting to buy my factory, I am too lazy to take care of it, so I can sell it to you. Regardless of the future, we will calculate it based on the housing price in Xike Village, but..."

Ji Chen looked at Mr. Xia and hesitated, and said, "Mr. Xia can make any conditions."

Xia Zhonggeng looked at the young man in front of him and continued, "But you have to worship me as your master and be my apprentice."

Although Xia Zhonggeng was defeated by Ji Chen today, he is still a chess master in Nanyue., if you want to train Ji Chen to follow this path, then you should take this kid under your tutelage.

In this way, you will have a disciple relationship, and you can move around more in the future, and the chess world, which is in a period of transition, will have successors.

Be his disciple?

When Ji Chen heard Xia Zhonggeng's request, he just felt a little unbelievable.

He thought that Old Xia would ask him for some benefits, but he didn't expect that he would just take him as his master?

After all, the other party is the dignified Nanyue chess master, the chess master that no one in China can defeat.

He actually asked for the opportunity to take him as his apprentice...

After a pause, Ji Chen looked at Xia Zhonggeng and said, "Old Xia, are you serious?"

The latter did not comment, "I never joke."

Ji Chen looked at Xia Zhonggeng's serious expression, thought for a moment, and said with embarrassment, "It is my honor to be your apprentice, but I may be busy and cannot concentrate on this matter."

After all, he has to focus on making money, and he really can't spend too much time on chess.

"With your talent, you don't need to spend too much time on it. If you agree, we can set a time every week and come to my place to sit and study."

Xia Zhonggeng is now determined to take Ji Chen as his apprentice.

He believes that as long as he puts a little effort into training, in the near future, the name of this child will surely resound throughout the chess world!

Ji Chen looked at Old Xia, who was serious on the opposite side, and after considering for a moment, he made a decision in his heart.

Anyway, he and the old man got along well. After becoming his disciple, he would visit him more often, just as if he had an elder with whom he could talk.

As for the acquisition of the factory, Ji Chen would not take advantage of him, and would definitely acquire it at a price higher than that of Xike Village.

Thinking of this, Ji Chen stood up, picked up the teapot on the table, picked up the teacup, poured a cup of tea, walked to Xia Zhonggeng, leaned over, and handed the tea with both hands, "Then please take care of me in the future, Master."

When Xia Zhonggeng saw Ji Chen agreed, he smiled from ear to ear, and quickly took the teacup in front of him, smiling, "You kid, don't cheat, you will be my apprentice from now on!"

"Never cheat!"

How could he cheat when he bought a factory and got a cheap master?
