Chapter 435 - A misunderstanding (2/2)

“Little jerk, you’re in no position to speak, shut the hell up if you don’t wish me to send you to the police station!” Shen Xingqing yelled, pointing a shaking finger at him.

Xiao Luo smiled, “You have misunderstood; what I meant was that I will gladly chip in for the bet.”

“you want to chip in? Do you think you are qualified?” Shen Xingqing riposted.

“I am a mere sales officer in Huayao Corporation, and I am indeed not qualified to bet with you in terms of the influence we have in Huayao Corporation. However, since we are both humans, doesn’t that allow us to bet with our bodies? Since president Shen has placed her position on the line, I will place one of my hands on this bet. If I do secure the contract, I’ll take one of your hands, and if not, I’ll pay you with one, how about that?” Xiao Luo said.

GASP…!

Everyone took a deep breath, for even though Xiao Luo had said it calmly and casually, but the message in his words came with an ominous portent and sent a chill right down their spines.

Shen Qingyan was clearly shocked by Xiao Luo’s proposal, and she muttered to himself: “Giving up a hand for the bet? Is that guy so savage, actually?”

Shen Xingqing was a little shaken, but he kept staring at Xiao Luo.

Xu Le spoke up in defense of his boss. “Xiao Luo, who do you think you are? You are nothing but a nobody who’s struggling at the bottom ranks of our society; how can your hand have the same value as our vice-president? The vice-president could make thousands of millions by just snapping his finger, can you do that?” he rebuked.

“What a barbaric man, I was so wrong about your promotion, you should have never been promoted to becoming a group leader.”

Mao Jianyi looked very remorseful for promoting Xiao Luo to be the group leader of Group Three, but in actual fact, he had only done so because Xiao Luo was highly regarded by Shen Qingyan. The truth was, he did not know that Xiao Luo had pissed Shen Xingqing off.

“What, do you guys want to participate in the bet too? Are you guys putting your hands on the bet?” While Xiao Luo did not feel too good about this wager, still, it was an excellent opportunity to get rid of all these snakes all at one go.

Mao Jianyi could not be bothered, “I don’t argue with barbarians.”

“You’re just a timid rat, so just shut up if you are afraid,” Xiao Luo sneered.

“You…”

Mao Jianyi looked like a fox that had its tail stepped on; his eyes widened, and he looked visibly angry.

Xiao Luo then turned to look at Xu Le. “What about you? Mr. Xu? Are you man enough?” he asked.

“You, little jerk, stop trying to intimidate me with your dirty tricks. It won’t work on me… yes, I’m in with my one hand!” Shen Xingqing responded.

Xu Le was backing up Shen Xingqing, and seeing that he had already made a bet, there was no reason for Shen Xingqing to back off. In any case, he was confident that the contract could not be obtained by Xiao Luo. “I am in too, there’s no way you can secure the contract with the maternity and child health care center,” he said.

“Well, the bet is official now. I have to remind you all that I will not accept any amendments or excuses for this bet,” Xiao Luo warned.

“Agreed, whoever turns back on his word shall be damned,” Shen Xingqing pledged.

Xu Le was a little more insecure; however, he still stood with Shen Xingqing and said, “That’s right, whoever turns back on his words shall be damned.”

“Sure!” Xiao Luo responded.

And he then gave them both a confident smile.

Shen Qingyan was intimidated by this man—he resembled the devil who lured people to sign evil contracts in exchange for their desires, enjoying the sight of people selling their souls and bodies with his sinister smile.
