PEERLESS GENIUS SYSTEM II

Chapter 293: Big Order

Xu Le wore a pair of glasses. He looked gentle and decent, and although his skin was rather pale, it was not the kind of sickly paleness, but rather a typical kind of paleness. He had the qualities of a white-collared executive, and to many girls out there, he would come across as a charismatic man.

"Alright."

Guan Tong eagerly ran off to pour some tea for Xu Le.

"Xiao Guan, pour a cup for me too."

"Me too, sorry to trouble you."

"Xiao Guan, I'm busy with something here, and I've run out of the water on my table too; pour a cup for me as well."

Members from the first and second groups made Guan Tong run their errands for them. As soon as they realized that their thermos cups were empty, they all made Guan Tong fill them up for them.

"Alright, leave it all to me."

Guan Tong nodded his head, smiled, and bowed. He held onto several thermos cups and walked toward the water dispenser located at the office's corner.

Xiao Luo didn't even have the time to say hello to Guan Tong. He hadn't seen him in a while. This old classmate was no longer as high-spirited as he used to be and had become a lot more submissive. All sorts of feelings started to well up uncontrollably, and he was reminded of the days where he went to Jiangcheng to work after he graduated. His low-key attitude back then was pretty much like how Guan Tong was now.

Why did Guan Tong stay in school for eight years?

Perhaps it was because he knew that society would wear people out, so he chose to escape instead, but in the end, some things could not be avoided, and you had to stand up and face them. He really wanted to help Guan Tong, but this was a process. This was a process that one had to experience. Everyone started off as a grandson and had some growing up to do. Regardless of who it is, you had to learn to adapt. You could only become a grandfather once you had learned how to adapt.

"Team Leader Xiao, what are you thinking of? Your mind seems to be in deep thought, I was talking to you," Xu Le said, waving his hands in front of Xiao Luo.

Although there was nothing he could do to help Guan Tong, Xiao Luo was unhappy over Guan Tong being bullied by many people. Xu Le was assigned as Guan Tong's master by the head of the sales department, Mao Jianyi, and the fact that Guan Tong was being mistreated had to be Xu Le's responsibility. Besides, Xu Le was the first one who ordered Guan Tong to fetch him some water, so he was sure that Xu Le took advantage of his position as a leader.

"This area here belongs to the third group, your seat is over there!"

Xiao Luo didn't hide his contempt for Xu Le and showed him no face, and his voice was harsh and cold when he scowled and pointed at the seat for the second group leader.

Xu Le froze. He wasn't expecting Xiao Luo to give him an attitude and was visibly offended.

Si Yueting and Liu Yiyao were stunned and immediately asked themselves if XiaoLuo was falling out with Team Leader Xu because he had just witnessed Guan Tong getting bullied.

Xu Le showed some composure and flashed a fake smile at Xiao Luo as he adjusted his glasses. "Team Leader Xiao, what is the meaning of this? I'm sincerely trying to be friends with you here," he said.

Xiao Luo offered him a single word in reply: "Scram!"

Xiao Luo spoke firmly but not loudly, but as the sales department office was neither too big nor too small, his voice traveled, and many people could still hear what he just said.

All the sales department members who had initially been busy with their work all raised their heads and looked up. They were all looking towards their direction. Everyone's eyes were filled with questions as they had no idea what happened between Xu Le and Xiao Luo in the past and were curious why it seemed like they were in some sort of argument.
