128 I Am Threatening You (2/2)
Zhang Hongda sneered, ”I suggest you give up. Don't even think about recouping the Fuke Group's order. We will not give you a single penny. Trash companies like the Luo's Workshop should hurry up and close down, lest you disgrace yourselves in Jiangcheng!”
Not only Xiao Luo, but Xu Guansong also heated up hearing that.
”Brother Zhang, you will hurt their self-esteem that way. Look at Mr. Xu and that little girl. You've made them so angry. Let them save at least a little bit of face, alright? After all, they are still executive members of a company,” Fang Changlei said, throwing oil on the fire.
Not even a tinge of anger showed on Xiao Luo's face. He sat down by himself, picked up the teapot, and drank directly from it right in front of Zhang Hongda and Fang Changlei. When he was finished, he said to Zhang Hongda with a hippie-esque grin, ”I think I understand. Mr. Zhang, you're saying that you'd rather give the Fuke Group's order to a dog than Luo's Factory, right?”
Zhang Hongda, who was already fuming, responded without thinking, ”Of course! I will not give you any orders, even if it's only a single penny's worth!”
”Oh? So, in your eyes, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Fang is a dog,” Xiao Luo spoke in a tone as if he was enlightened.
”You scoundrel, what nonsense are you saying? Do you really believe that I'd let you walk out of here with your back on the ground?” Fang Changlei got caught up in anger.
Similarly, Zhang Hongda was also glaring at Xiao Luo. His face flushed and paled alternately. He had never encountered someone as insidious as Xiao Luo before.
”Mr. Fang, it wasn't me who called you a dog, so why are you barking at me? Chillax, alright? Come, sit down. Let us have a nice chat. Amiability attracts riches, right? Peace breeds wealth!”
Xiao Luo smiled as he poured tea for Fang Changlei and Zhang Hongda. Then, he raised his teacup and said, ”Cheers, Mr. Fang, Mr. Zhang. Please accept this cup of tea as my apology.”
The two men stared at him with their faces twitching. They were thinking: You've friggin' drank directly from the teapot, so who wants to drink tea from it now?
”What is the meaning of this?” Zhang Hongda asked with a solemn face.
”Nothing, to be exact. But, you know, I'm rather unhappy that you repeatedly called my company trash earlier. Based on my usual disposition, you should be on the way to the emergency room by now.”
”Hah! You think you could send me there by yourself?” Zhang Hongda replied mockingly with eyes filled with disdain.
”Yes.”
Xiao Luo nodded carefully. As soon as his voice dropped, the teacup in his hand could not bear the colossal force of his five fingers. Following a loud crack, it shattered in an instant, scattering debris across the table. The tea, which was no longer hot, dripped down through Xiao Luo's fingertips, drop by drop.
This little display profoundly startled Zhang Hongda and Fang Changlei, and they both sat up straight in response to the threat.
There was a slight change in the expressions of their bodyguards in black. Just how strong were Xiao Luo's fingers to have crushed a calcined porcelain teacup with his bare hands?!
Luo Qi looked at Xiao Luo with overwhelming adoration. She felt like her boss was a true hero.
”Are you trying to scare me?” Zhang Hongda forced himself to calm down.
”My apologies. I'm not scaring you. I'm threatening you. Do not touch my bottom line. You may refuse to sign a contract with us, but do not insult us.” The warm smile on Xiao Luo's face vanished and was replaced by freezing cold, sending chills through their bones.
The corners of Zhang Hongda's mouth twitched. This was the first time that he had been threatened by someone younger than him, which was incredibly infuriating. However, he did not dare make any disrespectful remarks, and only glared unwaveringly at Xiao Luo.
