$20 million per person – that was the training quote the military-industrial group offered to Chen Yu.

This cost is far beyond the normal price. After all, training an F-35 pilot normally costs only $10 million, and the rest, such as Apache helicopters, armored vehicles, and artillery, are even cheaper.

However, given Chen Yu's status in the Great Xia Kingdom, the military industry group would face some risks if it were to provide him with training.

Therefore, this cost is naturally higher than the normal training cost.

Chen Yu didn't care at all and readily agreed to the offer. He even suggested that his bodyguards, Li Zheng and Wang Su, who he brought with him, also participate in the training, and that they could be charged per person.

However, upon seeing Li Zheng and Wang Su, Jun Gong Sophia and others immediately and resolutely rejected Chen Yu.

Just kidding. These two are obviously from military backgrounds. They didn't even let them into the headquarters of the military industry group, so how could they possibly train each other?

Are they crazy to train the soldiers of the Great Xia?

If the Mereka government finds out, they'll be in deep trouble.

“Mr. Chen, it’s impossible for your two bodyguards to train with you. After all, our two countries are competitors and there’s a trade embargo. I hope you can understand our difficulties,” Sofia explained with a wry smile.

She felt a little regretful that she would earn less in training fees for two people.

Suddenly, she turned her gaze to Lin Lele, who was standing behind Li Zheng and the other man, looking around curiously. Her eyes lit up immediately: "Mr. Chen, is this lady also one of your people?"

Before Chen Yu could speak, Lin Lele pushed him aside, stepped forward, and said in slightly broken Parrot, "Hello, beautiful lady, my name is Lin Lele, and I am Mr. Chen's secretary."

"Secretary?" Sophia was slightly taken aback. This secretary was far too inconsiderate and didn't seem like a shrewd person at all.

Thinking of this, Sophia first shook hands with Lin Lele, and then suggested to Chen Yu, "Mr. Chen, if you really want to find someone to train with you, I think your secretary is quite good. If it's her, we can give her a 20% discount."

Chen Yu was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. What could Lin Lele possibly learn from this?

Even if there were only 5 months left until the apocalypse, or even 5 years left, Lin Lele probably wouldn't be able to learn the basics. Wouldn't that be just handing money over to the other party?

Sophia seemed to sense Chen Yu's concerns and offered, "Mr. Chen, don't worry, we can collect half of this lady's fee first, and she can pay the rest after she learns it."

A 20% discount on $20 million would be $16 million, while paying half would be $8 million.

To be honest, Chen Yu thought it was still a bit expensive.

After all, he didn't expect Lin Lele to learn anything in less than five months.

His top choice was still Li Zheng and the others. These bodyguards had been with him for over a year, and he knew them well. Moreover, due to their background as special forces soldiers, they would naturally be able to get the hang of things faster.

If it were Li Zheng and others, they could learn the basic operations in more than four months, if not become experts.

But since the other party refused to train Li Zheng and the others, he couldn't force them.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Yu glanced at Lin Lele again, then nodded helplessly: "Alright, let her participate in the training with me."

"That's great! I'll have someone draft the contract right away," Sophia said happily. She clearly hadn't expected Chen Yu to agree so easily, after all, the training fee was no small sum.

Seeing the two chatting so enthusiastically, Lin Lele looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "President Chen, what kind of training is it?"

Chen Yu smiled faintly at this, without answering Lin Lele's question, and turned around to walk with Sophia back towards the headquarters building of the military industry group.

Seeing this, Lin Lele immediately became wary and hurriedly said, "President Chen, let's make this clear first: I can attend the training, but the company must pay for it! You can't deduct my salary for any reason!"

"You're overthinking it. With your meager salary, you couldn't afford the training fees even if you worked for me your whole life," Chen Yu replied without turning his head.

Lin Lele curled her lip in response.

She clearly thought Chen Yu was bragging. As Chen Yu's secretary, the president of Tianyu Engineering, she was earning 50,000 yuan a month, which was 600,000 yuan a year. She was only 22 years old. Even if she worked for another 40 years at her current salary, that would be 24 million yuan. Such a large sum of money couldn't even cover a so-called training fee.

At this moment, Sophia suddenly stopped and reminded Chen Yu, "Isn't Ms. Lin coming with us? She's also a party involved, and we need her to sign some documents before we sign the contract."

Upon hearing that she needed to sign some documents, Lin Lele asked nervously, "What documents?"

"Hehe, Ms. Lin, don't be nervous. It's just some normal confidentiality agreements and death waivers, etc.," Sophia explained.

"A death...death waiver?" Lin Lele's heart tightened, and her face immediately turned deathly pale with fright.

What kind of training is this? Not only do you have to sign a confidentiality agreement, but you also have to sign a death liability waiver!

At that moment, images from horror movies involuntarily flashed through her mind:

Some deranged tycoons, seeking thrills, use illegal means to lure a group of impoverished people to a secluded place, where they are forced to kill each other, with the victor receiving a huge reward.

The huge bonus was great, but she wasn't confident she could get it. Besides, she was very satisfied with her current salary and didn't need any so-called huge bonus!

Seeing that Lin Lele seemed somewhat absent-minded, Sophia couldn't help but remind her, "Ms. Lin?"

Lin Lele was pulled back to reality from her reverie by the shout, and then said urgently, "I'll go, I'll go with you!"

She didn't want to be sold out by Chen Yu without even realizing it. If she went in now and found out something was wrong, she could still refuse. But if she waited until Chen Yu signed the contract with the other party, it would be too late!

Chen Yu simply shook his head helplessly and said nothing.

Actually, he didn't want Lin Lele to go in now. After all, Lin Lele is a simple-minded person. If she saw things she shouldn't have, and then went out and talked nonsense, it would cause Chen Yu a lot of trouble.

He originally planned to bring Lin Lele in during the formal training, and then put her under closed management, as long as she was not allowed to contact the outside world before the apocalypse.

However, since Lin Lele was so eager to get close to him, he naturally had no reason to refuse her.

However, now that Lin Lele has stepped through this door, he will not allow her to have any more opportunities to contact the outside world before the apocalypse arrives.
