Chapter 443: Depends on Mood
Everyone in the sales department was distraught, and they all stood up and looked over at the door. Xiao Luo had truly kept to his word and had already broken the vice president’s hand. If that was the case, does that mean that the group leader, Mr. Xu, will be facing the same fate?
Guan Tong couldn’t remember feeling this way about Xiao Luo before, as he was never a cruel person in school. The truth was, back then, he actually did not have a deep impression of Xiao Luo, and all he knew was that this person existed in his cla.s.s, and they were merely acquaintances. n.o.body would have expected Xiao Luo to become such an aggressive and high-handed person after graduation, which was really frightening.
“Mr. Xu, where are you rus.h.i.+ng off to? Are you going to the hospital to get treated?”
With an evil smirk on his face, Xiao Luo glared ominously at Xu Le, who was kneeling on the floor and shaking.
“I…I…”
Xu Le slowly lifted his head, and his eyes were filled with fear when he looked upon Xiao Luo, and at that moment, Xiao Luo seemed like the devil’s incarnation to him.
“Oh, by the way, we had a bet, and the wager was your hand, do you remember that? I guess you are already aware that I have won the bet, so you have to pay the corresponding price. Come, which hand would you like to offer?” Xiao Luo mocked.
When Xu Le heard that, he dropped and lay on the floor, waving his hands pleading for mercy, then in the next second, he sprang up and got to his knees and started kowtowing to Xiao Luo. “I concede defeat, I truly concede defeat, Xiao Luo. Please don’t break my hand, I will never stand against you anymore, please…” he cried.
In absolute fear, he broke into tears and stammered in a trembling voice.
Suddenly, an intense smell filled the s.p.a.ce, and it made Xiao Luo, Si Yueting, and Liu Yiyao back away, frowning and holding their noses. Xu Le was so frightened that he lost control of his bladder.
“Get the f*ck out right now!”
Xiao Luo felt disgusted, decided not to touch him, and just told him to leave.
“Thank you, thank you…”
As if he was saved by G.o.d, Xu Le scrambled off on all fours from the sales office. He did not even bother to retain any dignity as he had probably lost his courage and decided to never revisit Huayao Corporation.
Xiao Luo returned to his seat, and the entire office went utterly silent. Everyone pretended to be busy with something, but their attention was always on Xiao Luo, just like when a superior was present for work inspection.
“Brother Luo, here’s some water!”
Si Yueting poured Xiao Luo a warm water cup and handed it to him with a big smile.
“Thank you.” Xiao Luo nodded.
“Brother Luo, let me ma.s.sage your back.” Liu Yiyao, too, wanted to bootlick.
Xiao Luo replied quickly, “There’s no need to just deal with your own tasks.”
“Alright, brother Luo, we’re always with you.”
“Please inform us if you have any orders, for instance, warming up your bed, hehehe…”
The girls continued to tease their young, handsome, and powerful group leader.
Xiao Luo could only sigh…
Guan Tong then approached Xiao Luo and sat beside him.
“You b*stard, are you still the same Xiao Luo that I knew from school?”
Guan Tong gave Xiao Luo a severe once-over from head to toe and still could not believe that he had suddenly become so capable. Not only did he secure the deal from the maternity and child health care hospital, but he also broke the vice president’s hand, which was really terrifying.
“Why, do I look like someone else?” Xiao Luo joked.
“No, no, no, you are still you. Never mind that, let’s move on from this. Have you heard about Guo Qinghe? He was arrested for his involvement in MLM activities, and he will be charged in the court soon,” Guan Tong said, s.h.i.+fting the topic to Guo Qinghe out of the blue.
“Oh, when will that be?”
Xiao Luo pretended that he was totally unaware of the case and took a sip of water, feeling a little guilty. After all, he knew better than anyone about Guo Qinghe’s arrest.
Guan Tong replied, “It’s pretty recent, probably a few days ago. I also heard that he had lured your…ahem…Zhao Mengqi into the MLM organization. That b*stard truly deserves the hammer of justice.”
He was infuriated by Guo Qinghe’s evil deed.
“Yup, he totally deserves it!” Xiao Luo agreed and nodded.
“That’s right, I am so relieved that the police is finally going to deal with the MLM organizations in Xiahai city head-on.”
Guan Tong was smart about not bringing up Zhao Mengqi anymore. “Alright, that’s about it, I’m off to work,” he said, after seeing Ling Fei walking toward them.
He promptly got up and left for his place.
Ling Fei approached Xiao Luo, and she stared right at him with her pretty eyes, with a somewhat quizzical look.
She did not speak, and neither did Xiao Luo. He wasn’t inclined to and was not intimidated by Ling Fei’s stare, so he looked right back into her eyes.
They both kept silent and stared at each other for some time.
Everyone in the office looked at each other and were stunned, then they discreetly started their discussions unseen.
“Sis Ling was initially our star employee in the sales department, now that Xiao Luo has s.n.a.t.c.hed the t.i.tle so soon after joining us, so I guess Sis Ling must be very p.i.s.sed now.”
“They won’t actually start a fight, will they?”
“Well, that’s always a possibility, but they would definitely get into it if they continue their stare-off.”
Everyone became very nervous once again.
Ling Fei finally spoke, “Congratulations, Xiao Luo. I have underestimated you.”
“Thank you.”
Xiao Luo nodded and replied graciously.
“I will reclaim my t.i.tle next month!” Ling Fei said, showing grit and determination.
“Hahaha… well said, I’ll be expecting that.”
Xiao Luo was never interested in this t.i.tle in the first place. He would not have bothered to get involved in the deal with the maternity and child health care hospital if Mao Jianyi and Shen Xingqing had not messed with him, regardless of how well-paying the reward was.
Ling Fei did not continue the conversation and left just like that.
Xiao Luo planned to continue playing his Minesweeper game. It was not the time to knock off yet, since he was already present at the company, he might as well clock in some office time, and a few games would serve as the perfect way to kill time.
Si Yueting had seen Mao Jianyi packing his stuff in his office earlier, and she came over to Xiao Luo and murmured, “Brother Luo, Mr. Mao seems to be resigning, then his position will be yours for sure.”
“Wow, brother Luo, we have indeed chosen the right leader to follow. You are so impressive and attractive, I would follow you everywhere, for anything, including… to your bed, hehe…” Liu Yiyao purred. She was becoming more flirtatious, perhaps even promiscuous, and it did help that she was well-endowed with a beautiful face and s.e.xy body.
Xiao Luo did not react to her flirting as he replied, “The president had indeed said that she would like me to replace Mao Jianyi, but I have rejected.”
“Why?”
Both girls were confused as they felt Xiao Luo had wasted the chance for an easy promotion, and one never knew when such an opportunity would come around again.
“It doesn’t matter, I just want to have an easy life here.”
Xiao Luo did not mind that his subordinates would laugh at his reply. After all, working in Huayao Corporation was Su Li’s idea, and he was simply here for her sake.
“What?”
Both Si Yueting and Liu Yiyao gave him an incredulous look, and they were totally dumbfounded.
“I’m knocking off, I shall excuse myself now, if I may,” Xiao Luo said, glancing at the clock. He switched off his computer and gathered his things to leave the office.
“Brother Luo, when will you come to the office again?” Si Yueting called out after him.
“That depends on my mood.”
Xiao Luo waved back and left.
Depends on mood?
What on earth!!!
The entire office was shocked! For who didn’t want to come to work depending on their mood? Undoubtedly, Xiao Luo’s privilege had indeed ruffled some feathers.
