PEERLESS GENIUS SYSTEM I

Chapter 128: I Am Threatening You

“We have you on the ground, Mr. Fang. If I dropped from the sky, then you would definitely be my meat cushion. By then, both our bones would be shattered. Am I right?” Xiao Luo glanced at Fang Changlei with a false smile.

The grin on Fang Changlei’s face dimmed in an instant. As he removed the cigarette from his lips, smoke billowed over his face. He said, “It isn’t good for a young man to be so arrogant. I suggest you check that temper of yours. Otherwise, you won’t even know what kills you in the future.”

Xiao Luo sneered back, “Well, everybody has to die sooner or later. But I certainly believe that you’re going to die before I do, Mr. Fang. After all, you are a geezer capitalizing on advanced age. For your information, that is a sickness. You could easily, you know, kick the bucket at any time.”

“You…”

Fang Changlei widened his eyes in anger as he stared at Xiao Luo furiously.

“Bam!”

Zhang Hongda slammed the table and stood up. He glared at Xiao Luo with maddened eyes, shouting, “Get out of here, kid! You are not welcome in this place!”

It was only now that Xu Guansong regained his senses. He put on an awkward smile and stepped forward to serve as a mediator. “Calm down Mr. Zhang. You too, Mr. Fang. Mr. Xiao is at fault here, so I’ll ask him to apologize. Please don’t let this get to you.”

Zhang Hongda and Fang Changlei’s complexions softened slightly. They obviously cared about getting an apology from Xiao Luo.

“Mr. Xiao, what are you doing? Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Zhang and Mr. Fang.” Xu Guansong had utterly surrendered. They had come here to talk about business, and they were in need of Zhang Hongda’s help, so why did Xiao Luo have to pick a fight? It was beyond ridiculous.

“Mr. Xu, are you still oblivious as to what’s going on here? Mr. Zhang has agreed to see us because he wants to make us look bad in front of Mr. Fang. I will not apologize. Even if I did, he would never renew his contract with Luo’s Workshop anyway,” Xiao Luo replied coldly. With his temper up, anyone who tried to intervene, no matter who he may be, he was merely a flea in his eyes.

“Yeah, I support Mr. Xiao!” Luo Qi expressed his support for Xiao Luo.

This wasn’t how people ought to talk about business. Since the very beginning, Zhang Hongda’s attitude toward them had been indifferent. When Fang Changlei had arrived, he’d even gone on to say that Luo’s Workshop was trash. This was a bald-faced insult. No matter how terrible Luo’s Workshop may, it should still be allowed to preserve its dignity and pride.

“Keep quiet, Luo Qi! Stop fanning the flames! Mr. Xiao isn’t sensible, but must you follow his example as well?” Xu Guansong thundered at her, though it mostly felt like he was abusing one over the shoulder of another.

“Mr. Xu, you are talented. Why have you allowed yourself to be treated so shabbily at Luo’s Workshop? Look at your company now. It is full of newbies who can hardly maintain their composure. Your future will be dim if you stay at Luo’s Workshop. I think you should come to Taste Buds. With your experience and capabilities, I believe that Brother Fang will be very willing to take you in,” Zhang Hongda stated hurriedly. Persuading Xiao Luo’s people to join another company right in front of their boss was humiliation at the highest level.

Fang Changlei lifted his eyebrows and seconded, “That is a great suggestion. I treasure talent most of all. If you’re willing to join us, Mr. Xu, I will make you Taste Bud’s deputy manager. That way, I can fully retreat behind the scenes and take a long vacation. Although you’d only be a deputy manager, you would still be paid considerably more than what you earn now at Luo’s Workshop.”
