Peerless Genius System

"Xiao Luo, it's now time to pay for your reckless action!"

Xu Le glared at Xiao Luo, seething with flames of anger in his eyes, and, given half a chance, he would skin Xiao Luo alive if he could. As he had the backing of Shen Xingqing, he felt reassured when meeting Shen Qingyan to report the incident. "President Shen, I had a disagreement with Xiao Luo in the office earlier, and he suddenly assaulted me using his martial arts training. He even broke a pot of cactus over my head and caused me to bleed non-stop. I seek president Shen's judgment for appropriate action to be taken against him!"

This was nothing but a show as he already had Shen Xingqing's support. However, the person-in-charge of Huayao Corporation was Shen Qingyan, so Xu Le still had to go through the process of formally explaining to her.

Shen Qingyan looked at Xiao Luo with grave concern as no company could tolerate such abusive conduct and behavior, going so far as to even harm fellow employees within the office premises. But, what was actually on Shen Qingyan's mind was that she could not understand why Xiao Luo had such a savage streak, and what made him so ferocious? He wasn't a hooligan; in fact, he looked like a decent, gentlemanly sort of person. Could Yang Hongzhi's case be really related to him?

"Xiao Luo, did you assault him?"

Mao Jianyi questioned Xiao Luo with an accusing tone.

"I did, but…"

"You're an utter disappointment, no matter what reason you come up with, assaulting your colleague in the office is definitely wrong!"

Mao Jianyi interrupted him and chose to side with Xu Le without hesitation, he pleaded to Shen Qingyan, "President Shen. Mr. vice-president is right about Xiao Luo being a complete hooligan. If we don't enforce severe punishment for such behavior, it would surely harm the company's bonding and working environment!"

Such a drastic change in stance caught Xiao Luo off guard. However, after he saw Mao Jianyi, Xu Le, and Shen Xingqing making dubious eye contact, he realized that these people were birds of the same feathers, which gave him a better idea of what to do about it.

Shen Qingyan was at a loss and could not arrive at a suitable resolution, so she asked, "Xiao Luo, what do you have to say in your defense?"

"Whatever this little jerk says does not matter! Niece, let me handle this matter entirely—I shall order the HR department to fire him, then file a police report and send him behind bars for a good month."

There was a look of complete satisfaction in the way Shen Xingqing smiled mirthlessly. He then stared coldly at Xiao Luo and said, "Don't ever think that you can walk out of Huayao Corporations unharmed after causing such a mess. Hah, you have clearly overestimated your capabilities!"

"Shen Xingqing, how dare you take such action without clearing with my office! Does my opinion not matter, or do you wish for me to call for a board meeting and force you to step down?" Shen Qingyan screamed. She clenched her jaw in fury as it was evident that Shen Xingqing was aiming to annoy her through this incident. Although outwardly, it seemed like he was messing with Xiao Luo, Shen Xingqing was actually targeting her, which was the only thing he was good at.

Shen Xingqing shrugged, returning her the authority to handle this matter. He then sat down and crossed his legs to wait for Shen Qingyan's decision.

"Xiao Luo, go on," Shen Qingyan said.

"I don't have much to say. Yes, I did assault Xu Le, and should the same thing happen again, I would still do it," Xiao Luo replied, smiling.

Shen Qingyan did not press him further and turned to Xu Le, "Mr. Xu, why did Xiao Luo assault you?"

"It was due to some difference in our opinions," Xu Le answered.

"What kind of difference in opinions? Be specific, recount every single detail of what happened in the office earlier—clearly and completely!" Shen Qingyan ordered.

Shen Qingyan had climbed to the position of president Huayao Corporation through sheer tenacity and her very own unique capabilities. So, when she took on a serious demeanor, she would exude an overpowering dominance over others. Xu Le shivered where he stood and felt that his career was at stake.

"Your turn!"

Shen Qingyan looked over to Xu Le's best friend.

That man may have been close to Xu Le, but he did not side with Shen Xingqing, so he was relatively neutral. He did not dare to lie in front of Huayao Corporation's president, so he recounted every single detail of the incident in the office.

After listening to him, Shen Qingyan smiled wryly and glared at Xu Le. "That was not a case of difference in opinion, but rather, you purposely taunted him. You insulted him first, and he reacted aggressively, so what's your problem?" she asked.

"I…"

Xu Le was stunned, and he could not understand how this had all suddenly turned against him.

"You are also a group leader yourself, but instead of working with your colleagues, you went around insulting and mocking them on purpose. Do you have so much free time on your hands, Mr. Xu? Did the company not assign you any task at all?" Shen Qingyan chastised Xu Le, and every point she made hit home.

Xu Le broke into a cold swear and turned to Shen Xingqing and Mao Jianyi for help.

"Cough… Niece, your words are too strong. Mr. Xu has been a diligent employee of the company and worked tirelessly for a long time. He once was even hospitalized due to alcohol poisoning from drinking with a potential customer to secure a business deal. Mr. Mao was the witness, right?" Shen Xingqing said.

"Yes…yes…"

Mao Jianyi answered in a somewhat unnatural tone as even though he was on Shen Xingqing's side, he was also very fearful of Shen Qingyan. It did not feel comfortable sitting on the fence and get pulled apart by two forces.

"Mr. Xu is an exemplary employee of our company and the one that others should emulate for his spirit of service. Also, the company ought to hire more talents like Mr. Xu, as this would allow him to take a break from time to time, am I right?" Shen Xingqing spoke very highly of Xu Le, and he had almost described Xu Le as the perfect employee.

Xu Le felt a little insecure about the appraisal and wondered if he was really that good.

"Hahaha…"

Xiao Luo could not help but burst out in laughter, and when he realized everyone was looking over, he tried to contain himself and waved his hand in apology. "I'm sorry, so sorry… this is just hilarious. Usually, I would not laugh inappropriately, but this is too much. I really can't control myself," he said.

Xu Le's face blushed a livid red as he stared at Xiao Luo with his jaw clenched. The more perfect Shen Xingqing had described him, the more embarrassed he felt when Xiao Luo laughed. Xiao Luo had practically dragged him down from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds.

Shen Xingqing was infuriated and yelled, "You little jerk, you're too much! Get him to the police station now!"

"Vice-president Shen, aren't you afraid of being asked to step down?" Xiao Luo sneered.

Shen Xingqing was caught off guard as Xiao Luo sounded very confident, so he immediately stopped his security guards from apprehending Xiao Luo. He walked up and questioned Xiao Luo, "What do you mean by that?"

Xiao Luo did not care to address him and turned to face Shen Qingyan instead. "President Shen, I'll take care of the contract with the maternity and child health care center, but you have to keep your promise. If I can secure this contract, I would draw a ten percent commission," he said.

"How confident are you?" she asked.

"About seventy to eighty percent," he responded.

Mao Jianyi stared coldly and said, "What an arrogant fellow, you're going to pay for your arrogance."

"Well, I am not going to pay for anything, but I am sure that some people are paying for their wrongdoings," Xiao Luo retorted.

He was more than happy to prove these people wrong and, at the same time, earn an extra commission of seventeen million.

"Little jerk, you're just trying to play the fool, go tell that to the police!" Shen Xingqing signaled the security guards, and they moved toward Xiao Luo.

"I finally understand why the Shen family only appointed you as the vice-president. It is because you are essentially… stupid. I am sure the entire board of directors would not be too happy to hear about losing the maternity and child health care center deal. And when they learn that you were the main reason for losing this deal, do you actually think that they will let you go unscathed?" Xiao Luo questioned.

Shen Xingqing was so angry that he started laughing, "Little jerk, you think too highly of yourself. Do you actually think that you can take the meat right out of Renhe Medicines' mouth and secure that deal? Don't be absurd!"
