Chapter 429 - Sales Department (2/2)

A stern, nasty voice called out from the second floor. It came from a North-easterner, and he was an old man, physically disabled, but still looked like he had some vitality left in him. He had witnessed the entire quarrel and was so irritated that it caused him to feel tightness in his chest.

“Which b*stard said that, stand up and show yourself?”

“You’re eating my food, wearing my clothes, and living in a place that I provide. You have the nerve to spout such nonsense? You bloody b*stard, I’m going to give you a good beating today!”

All of a sudden, Hong Ji and Ouyang De had a common enemy. They got up and were about to summon their internal energy and jump up to the second floor, but all that happened was they were only able to hop barely half a meter high off the floor, before landing right back.

“What is happening here? Where did all my internal power go?” Hong Ji asked. His face turned pale, and he was in total shock.

Ouyang De was equally shocked. “All of this old man’s martial arts abilities are gone as well!” he said.

Both of them looked at one another, and they saw the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

“It’s him, it’s that brat. It has got to be that son of a b*tch!” Ouyang De said, more convinced of it with each passing statement.

“Our abilities have been removed… he must have used an ability removal technique.”

Hong Ji suddenly opened both his eyes wide and trembled. “That is a really evil technique passed down from the underworld. Where did he learn it from?” he said.

Ouyang De grabbed on to Hong Ji’s shoulders and shook him. “Old man Hong, stop spouting a bunch of nonsense. Quickly tell me where this guy is, I want to kill him!” he cried.

“Calm down, you have to calm down!”

Hong Ji roared, pushing him away.

“How can I calm down? The skills that I’ve practiced for over fifty years are all gone. This is a fate worse than death.”

“Do you think I’m feeling any better here? I have no idea where he lives either!”

Ouyang De scowled in reply, “Bullsh*t. Do you think I’m blind? I can see everything. The relationship you have with him is not simple at all. He was even planning to fight for you, so you can’t fool this old man.”

“Why would I want to lie to you, you bloody old b*stard? If I say I don’t know, then, I really don’t know!”

“Fool, you dare to scold me again?”

“I’ll scold you all I want, what can you do about it? You, old b*stard… old b*stard…”

“Scr*w your granny. This old b*stard here will kill you!”

Ouyang De rolled up his sleeves and got ready to fight. It was like a cockfight as the two of them got into a messy scuffle.

“They’re finally fighting, damn this feels good!”

The North-eastern old man from upstairs finally looked satisfied and sat comfortably to watching them fight. While they were just talking and not fighting, he somehow felt constipated, as if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder, but as soon as they started fighting, he felt relieved all of a sudden.

…

After leaving Tianci Children’s Home, Ji Siying dropped Xiao Luo off at the Huayao Corporation Building.

Had he been just a mere salesman, then it would have been fine if he didn’t appear in the office for a good ten and a half days. But he had somehow become the third group’s leader, and as much as he didn’t want to admit it, he had no choice but to come to terms with it. He could feel the weight of responsibility on his shoulders, especially now that he also had two subordinates to take care of, but the two were nowhere to be seen. Even though he didn’t care about getting a promotion himself, he didn’t expect those two members to just follow him and go hungry.

As Xiao Luo didn’t report to the office often, his leader’s title felt pretty hollow, and his sudden appearance today caused quite a bit of commotion in the sales department.

“Brother Luo, you’re here!”

“Brother Luo, we’ve been praying to the stars and the moon, and finally our prayers have brought you here.”

Two of the members from the third group, Si Yueting and Liu Yiyao, came up to him and burst into tears. They were finally meeting the team leader again after a long absence. They wondered where he had been all this while and looked like two kids who finally reunited with parents that had cared for them.

“Team Leader Xiao, we never saw you again since you came and reported that one time. You’ve finally found some time to come and visit the company; what brings you here today?”

The second group leader, Xu Le, smiled as he walked over and conversed with Xiao Luo. He turned and waved with his hand, and Guan Tong, who had been assigned to his team, came running up to him. “Xiao Guan, go now and bring me a cup of tea!” he said.
