They mistranslated the joke here.
In the novel, colleagues often refer to Yoon Taehee as "Chief Yoon", so Jaegyeom's question was more like 'hey, how would everyone address me? If they call you Chief, then shouldn't they call me an APPRENTICE?', since he works directly under the Chief.
That's why Yoon couldn't really hide his laughter, because here the reference was given to how Jaegyeom is actually a very old man who comes from such an historical era where APPRENTICESHIP was more common. No one really uses the word And the position of Apprentice NOW.
Then Yoon even introduced him as
"This is Apprentice Kim Jaegyeom".
