Peerless Genius System

Chapter 508 - Reason

Chapter 508: Reason

In the afternoon, Xiao Luo walked into Huayao Corporation.

Xiao Luo’s arrival caused quite a stir in the Sales Department. When they saw Xiao Luo again, the hearts of Team Two members still pounded with fear. The incident of Xiao Luo beating up Xu Le was still vivid in their minds that it seemed to have only happened yesterday. Yet, they were in awe of Xiao Luo from the bottom of their hearts. To be exact, they both respected and feared him since he was the genius who succeeded in procuring the large order from the city’s Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital.

“Team Leader, you are finally here!”

Si Yueting and Liu Yiyao welcomed him back, lashing him cheerful and excited smiles. Because of Xiao Luo’s successes, they gained a higher status in the Sales Department, which helped them immensely as they were no longer treated as nobodies and were not pushed around by the members of the other two teams.

Xiao Luo returned their greeting with a slight nod of the head and then sat down in his seat.

When Si Yueting and Liu Yiyao saw Xiao Luo at the computer, they initially thought that he was about to play the MineSweeper game as usual. But soon, they found him log in to the company’s Staff Management System and submit his resignation without any break.

“Team Leader, are...are you going to resign?”

Si Yueting could scarcely believe her eyes. Her voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of the whole office. Soon after, the news of his resignation quickly got around. Every one of them was whispering to each other, discussing in a low voice.

“How come, Team leader? Why do you need to resign? Are you abandoning us?” Liu Yiyao said. She could not understand, as well. Although Xiao Luo spent little at the office, they still depended on him. In their mind, they already regarded Xiao Luo as their backbone.

Xiao Luo stood up and smiled. “It was never my intention to come and work here, and it’s time to leave.” He patted Si Yueting’s shoulder and said, “You guys are all excellent, and I’m sure you can do a brilliant job, even if I’m not here,” he said.

“We can’t let you go, Team Leader!”

“Totally agreed. Please don’t leave. Keep leading us. We’ll always be with you.”

Women are sensitive creatures. Si Yueting and Liu Yiyao’s eyes became red, and they were very upset about Xiao Luo leaving.

Xiao Luo smiled gently. “All good things must come to an end. Do not be too persistent; just let it go,” he said.

Although Si Yueting and Liu Yiyao were awfully reluctant, they did not continue to convince him to stay. Everyone has their own career plans, so they had no right to interfere with Xiao Luo’s choice. Since Xiao Luo had made up his mind, the best that they could do was to bless him silently in their hearts.

“Team Leader...”

Each of them then gave Xiao Luo a hug.

“Continue to work hard, and if you want to jump ship for a new place to develop, you can think about Luo Workshop.” Xiao Luo advertised his company in passing. Luo Workshop in Xiahai City needed all talents at present, and he absolutely recognized Si Yueting and Liu Yiyao’s abilities.

“Got it.”

But it was a pity that the two women were so upset with his leaving the company that they failed to catch the meaning of Xiao Luo’s words but just agreed or the sake of it.

At this time, a stuffy-looking man walked over here from the office area of Team Two and stretched out his hand towards Xiao Luo. “Nice to meet you, Team Leader Xiao. I am the current Team Leader of Team two. My name is Ye Junming,” he said.

Xiao Luo said, “I will be leaving the company soon, so there’s no need for you to build a relationship with me.”

“Not really. I’ve already heard the stories of Team Leader Xiao. You successfully closed an order from a Dubai princess when you just started work, instantly contributing to Huayao Corporation’s aim to break into new markets in UAE. And, we were given a level playing field to compete with Renhe Medicines. And just recently, you helped the company win a $170 million order from the city’s Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital, which was snatched from the jaws of Renhe Medicines as well.”

Ye Junming said, “I respect you, and even admire you. Although you are going to leave Huayao Corporation, you will always be the legend that stays in the hearts of all of us.”

Tsk, such a bootlicker!

Xiao Luo sneered at his words. Ye Junming even made use of the word “legend” in his effort to flatter.

Xiao Luo found it challenging to respond sincerely but did so with a hint of impatience in his tone. “Well...” he said.

But he was not the insolent man that would refuse to shake hands with someone who had stretched his hand out, so he shook hands with Ye Junming briefly and quickly turned his eyes away. Xiao Luo changed the subject passingly and asked Si Yueting, “Where is your new manager?”

The approval process of resignation was required to be passed step by step, and the first step was Ma Dequan.

“I think he’s in a meeting.” Si Yueting replied.

“Don’t be so impatient, Team Leader. Just stay here with us a bit longer.” Liu Yiyao muttered, pursing lips.

There was no need for Xiao Luo to be in such a hurry as he still wanted to explain to Shen Qingyan himself.

“Xiao Luo.”

A voice tinged with discontent filtered into Xiao Luo’s ear.

As soon as Xiao Luo turned his head, he saw the pretty face of Ling Fei, the Leader of Team One. But, as usual, she was her stiff self.

He smiled and said, “What’s the matter, Team Leader Ling?”

Ling Fei asked, “Why are you leaving?”

“Just want to leave. Does it require any reason?” Xiao Luo quipped, teasing her with a smile.

“Do you know how hard I’ve worked this month? I am totally confident I can win back first place, but now you say that you are going to leave,” Ling Fei complained, gritting her teeth and looking irked.

Xiao Luo was amused, and remembering a quote from a Stephen Chow film, he said, “That’s too much trouble. I can just hand you my Number One since being the first is so worthless and boring for me.”

Li Fei gazed at him disdainful for a while and said, “I never thought that you could be such a Pretentious d*ck!”

After she said that, she turned away from him.

Pretentious d*ck?

Da*n it!

Xiao Luo was quite shocked, and he had a good mind to question Ling Fei how she could say such a vulgar word!

...

...

Soon, a paunchy, balding middle-aged man in a suit came back to the Sales Department. As soon as he stepped into the manager’s office, he caught a glimpse of someone in the seat of the Team Three leader playing the MineSweeper game, and it made him angry. He shouted, “Hey, you over there, who gave you permission to play games in the office?”

After he shouted, Ma Dequan walked briskly toward the offender.

Hearing the voice, Xiao Luo turned around. When he saw the paunchy, middle-aged man, he asked Si Yueting, who was seated next to him, “Is he your new manager, Ma Dequan, right?”

Si Yueting nodded and replied, “Yes.”

Xiao Luo stood up and smiled at Ma Dequan. “Nice to meet you, Minister Ma...” he said.

“Shut up! I’m asking you who permitted you to play games in the office? Does the company pay you a high salary every month only to come here and play games? Stop making any excuse. Just give me a 5,000-word in-depth review today. If you can’t finish, get out of here right now!”

Ma Dequan shouted angrily. Since he had had no opportunity to crack the whip, he’s always felt the lack of respect from the Sales Department. Now that he happened to find someone he could make an example of, he would certainly grab the opportunity.

“Manager Ma...”

Xiao Luo was trying to explain and state his purpose for coming to the office today, but he was cut off by Ma Dequan again. “Cut the cackle! Do not attempt to flatter me. That’s the rule of the company! No rules, no standards. You must write an in-depth review!” he yelled.

“Don’t even try to dismiss it as a minor distraction, even if you have powerful connections. Playing games during work hours is absolutely not allowed,” Ma Dequan snapped.
