Chapter 432 - The Big Order that Flew away
The atmosphere in the office felt really intense, in a suffocating kind of way. Everyone looked at Xiao Luo in horror, and their eyes were filled with fear, while Xiao Luo continued to keep a smile on his face. The impression one got of him based on his appearance and based on his actual personality were on opposite ends of the pole. When he said he would do something, regardless of how improbable, he would make it got done. He sent Xu Le flying for a good two to three meters, with just one kick. It was unbelievable.
As soon as Xiao Luo was provoked and lost his temper, he would not consider anyone’s feelings and vent his anger without holding back on his emotions. That was just the way he was.
Xiao Luo walked toward Xu Le, stepped on his chest with a heavy foot, and glared down cruelly at him. “Make yourself clear, who’s the garbage?” he scowled.
It was like having a massive mountain resting its weight on him, and Xu Le could feel his chest tightening and found it hard to breathe.
“Xiao Luo, you...you will pay for the things you did today!”
Xu Le spoke out in anger and attempted to salvage some of his own face to prevent himself from looking soft and not lose the authority he had. People would then only think he was not as physically strong as Xiao Luo and would believe that he bravely refused to surrender himself to Xiao Luo.
However, this little pride that he tried to salvage in front of his co-workers would soon be utterly destroyed...
Xiao Luo increased the force and pressure on Xu Le’s chest, and it made him feel like his rib cage was about to crack open, and the more he tried to withstand the torment, the worse it got. In the end, it was simply too much to bear as the excruciating pain flowed through his entire body, and Xu Le couldn’t help but scream in agony.
“I’ll ask you one more time, who’s the garbage?” Xiao Luo asked.
“I’m the garbage, I’m the garbage...”
historical
Xu Le could no longer take the pain. The agony completely destroyed his will to resist, and he yielded immediately.
“Hmm, very good!”
Xiao Luo nodded his head with much satisfaction, took his foot off his chest, turned around, and went back to his seat.
“Cough, cough, cough...”
Xu Le breathed heavily and began to cough violently. Some members of the second group reacted hurriedly and ran over to lift him up. Xu Le no longer dared to provoke Xiao Luo, nor did he try to bother Guan Tong. Xu Le quickly asked for him and his other colleague with the bruised head to be sent to the hospital for a check-up and to treat their injuries.
After he and his unconscious colleague left, the office began to return to some normalcy once again.
But after what had just happened, the atmosphere in the office became really awkward. Everyone stole glances at Xiao Luo from time to time, still very much in fear of him, because of his unpredictable and frightening nature.
Xiao Luo was clearly not bothered by the looks people gave him and casually played the minesweeper game on the office computer.
Si Yueting and Liu Yiyao walked over cautiously.
“Brother Luo, this is the list of information about the third group’s latest customers, do you want to take a look at them?” Si Yueting asked, handing a stack of documents over to him.
“Put them down there, I’ll take a look at them later,” Xiao Luo said. He was focused on the minesweeper game and did not even bother to lift his head up at all.
“Oh, I’ll place them here then.”
Si Yueting placed the documents on Xiao Luo’s desk, didn’t walk away, and tried to probe a little. “Brother Luo, did you use to practice martial arts in the past?” she asked.
Xiao Luo lifted his head with a frown and said, “Why do you say that?”
“Just one kick and you sent Team Leader Xu flying. We all saw that,” Liu Yiyao replied.
“Mmm-hmm, right, right, right...”
Like a little chick pecking for grains, Si Yueting nodded her head in agreement.
Xiao Luo laughed but didn’t say anything and just continued playing the minesweeper game. He had no intention of beating anyone up, but Xu Le decided to mess around with him and provoke him, so he had no choice but to do what he did.
Seeing how Xiao Luo had responded, Si Yueting and Liu Yiyao stopped disturbing him and quietly returned to their seats.
“Brother Luo is a little too violent, I’m a little bit afraid of him now.”
“What are you afraid of? This is called having a personality. If you ask me, I think Brother Luo is a real man.”
“You’re a North-eastern girl, of course, you’d think Brother Luo is a real man. I’m a weak girl, so of course, I’m scared.”
“Let me tell you this, Brother Luo is definitely from the north-east. The trait of cutting the talk and getting straight to the fighting is so apparent.”
The two women quietly whispered into one another’s ear as they discussed Xiao Luo’s personality.
Guan Tong was from the second group, and it was not appropriate for him to talk with Xiao Luo at this moment. Otherwise, there was no way he could stay in the second group anymore, so all he could do was wait till after office working hours before he could have a good chat with Xiao Luo.
Not long after, a few security guards ran in and asked about what just happened.
Everyone in the second group, besides Guan Tong, stood up and pointed at Xiao Luo.
“This guy beat someone up, he beat them up so badly that he injured one of our colleague and team leader’s head!”
“Yes, this man is a barbarian and is not suited to stay in this office. Look at all the bloodstains on the floor, it’s from our colleague and the team leader.”
“You guys should hurry up and throw him out of here!”
Fuming with indignation and speaking in the name of justice, everyone’s eyes were filled with vengeance and retribution.
After hearing those words, a few of the security guards changed their expression. Beating someone up in the office and injuring them on the head was not something they could just let slide.
“Buddy, sorry to bother you, but we’ll need you to come with us!”
The head of security walked towards Xiao Luo and spoke politely.
Just at that moment, a tall and stylish woman in high-heels walked in. She had an oval-shaped face, similar to that of a melon, and the thick lenses on her glasses showed that she was short-sighted as well. It was Wu He, the woman from the Human Resource Department that he met on the day of the interview.
With her crystal-clear voice, Wu He said, “Xiao Luo, CEO Shen has asked for you to see her in the office.” As soon as she realized Xiao Luo’s playing minesweeper, her eyes widened, and she said, “We’re approaching the end of the month already, how is it that you’re still wasting your time on boring computer games like this? As a team leader yourself, you’re not properly taking charge of things, and way too irresponsible!”
“I’m sure CEO Shen asked you to invite me to her office, not reprimand me.”
Xiao Luo placed the last grid and finished the round of minesweeping. He stood up, ignored the look on Wu He’s face, and walked out of the sales office.
Everyone in the sales department was incredulous at the thought of Xiao Luo being unafraid of anything, and it was somewhat infuriating. Didn’t he know that Wu He was CEO Shen’s secretary and was the human resource department’s assistant director? In Huayao Group, besides the executive leaders, who else would have the guts to talk to Wu He like that?
“B*stard!”
Wu He cursed softly while glaring at Xiao Luo’s back, with an arrogant look on her face, she turned around and walked away.
...
In Shen Qingyan’s office, besides Shen Qingyan, Mao Jianyi and Ling Fei from the sales department were also there. Both of their expressions looked really awkward, and it was quite evident that they were being reprimanded.
Shen Qingyan sat on the office chair. She wore a black business suit that showed off her voluptuous and shapely body. Her eyes were sparkling, as usual, and accentuated with the lightest of eyeshadow.
“A big order of million and we just gave it to Renhe Pharmacy. Department head Mao, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation,” Shen Qingyan said. She had a cold-looking expression, and she looked really furious. million was not a small purchase, and such an order was something others would kill for.
Mao Jianyi wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked down. “CEO Shen, all of this is my fault and my responsibility. We arrived a little too late, and Renhe Pharmacy got the deal because they were a step ahead of us,” he explained.
“CEO Shen, that’s not the case, Director Guo from the Women’s Hospital was already leaning towards Renhe Pharmacy right from the start. Before the relocation plan, he already took the initiative and contacted Renhe Pharmacy. He never intended to work with Huayao Group at all,” Ling Fei pitched in, unwilling to accept the blame.
Shen Qingyan laughed. “Ling Fei, you’re the top sales performer for the department. Words like these should not be coming from your mouth. What does sales mean to you? Sales is the ability to turn unwilling customers into willing customers. If this order could be clinched that easily, why would I have sent you and Department Head Mao? I could have just sent anyone as a representative to sign the deal with Director Guo, and it’d be as simple as that, no?
