PEERLESS GENIUS SYSTEM II

Chapter 276: No one on Earth could save you

Li Zimeng took her phone out immediately to call Luo Workshop's head of human resources, Lin Chongdong, "Mr. Lin, can you please terminate Lee Yueze."

"Huh, why? Didn't you just promote Lee Yueze? He's also one of the pioneers in the Xiahai City venture; why are you firing him?" Lin Chongdong asked.

"This is an instruction from President Xiao," Li Zimeng replied.

"Ah, roger that, his termination letter will be sent to Luo Workshop's managers' group within five minutes."

Upon learning that it was Xiao Luo's instructions, Lin Chongdong did not hesitate and immediately processed it.

Li Zimeng ended the call and repeated what Lin Chongdong had said to Xiao Luo. "Mr. Lin said that he'll settle it within five minutes," she said.

It was barely five minutes when she received an incoming e-mail on her phone, and as expected, the letter was issued within the timeframe.

A copy also reached Lee Yueze's phone via e-mail, and when he opened the mailbox to check, it was from Luo Workshop's human resource department. It was shocking, but there was no doubt about it—the last line in the letter carried a hard-hitting message: "You are hereby terminated"!

What...?!

Lee Yueze's eyes widened in disbelief, and he felt giddy like he had just fallen from heaven down into an abyssal hell. Everything suddenly appeared gray and blurry to him.

He didn't come from a wealthy family. On the contrary, they were below average when it came to their finances. Everything he had was achieved through his relentless efforts and never-say-die attitude. The day he became Luo Workshop's store manager was the proudest day in his life, giving him great confidence.

And, just like that, he was no longer Luo Workshop's store manager anymore, which meant that all his efforts had gone down the drain along with his financial independence. His recent purchase of a Porsche had put him millions in debt, and, in the blink of an eye, everything would be lost.

Oh, no... no!

He was desperately screaming on the inside, and suddenly, he went on his knees and clung on to Xiao Luo's thigh, pleading. Without any thought of his image, he cried, "President Xiao, please give me a chance... please give me one more chance, I am begging you, I am begging you, please..."

This job meant the world to him, and it was slowly crumbling right before his eyes. He felt nothing but fear—a cold, desperate fear. He had to protect it at all costs, even if it meant giving up his dignity as a man.

"Give you a chance?"

Xiao Luo smiled mirthlessly. He was never a bad-tempered person, to begin with, but when he was provoked, someone would definitely have to pay the price. Unfortunately for Lee Yueze, he made the mistake of doing so. Had it been someone else other than Xiao Luo treating the old woman, that person would have been taken away by the Health Bureau—which was ridiculous for saving another person's life.

"I'm sorry, someone deserves this chance much more than you."

He nudged Lee Yueze away as he did not fancy a man clinging on to his thigh.

The Tan family were still looking at him in shocked silence.

He's the boss of Luo Workshop?

For a moment, Mrs. Tan even forgot the pain in her hands. After knowing Xiao Luo's real identity, she felt suffocated by a great weight of shame for her earlier opinion of him. She had said that Xiao Luo did not even match up to a strand of Lee Yueze's hair. Finding out that he was actually Lee Yueze's boss, her cheeks were now blushing red, as if someone had just slapped her hard in the face.
