"Mr. Su is a straightforward person, so I’ll just get straight to the point. I would like to invite Mr. Su to work for me. As for the terms, Mr. Su can propose whatever you wish,"
Chen Boxiong stated his purpose directly.
"Work for you?" Su Luo smiled. The intent of Chen Boxiong was somewhat surprising to him.
"Indeed, but Mr. Su can rest assured that if you are willing to join us, the treatment will be absolutely first-class. You won’t need to personally do much throughout the year, just help me out with your martial strength when it’s needed," Chen Boxiong said.
"Sorry, I’m not interested in joining your power group," Su Luo shook his head.
Chen Boxiong immediately said, "Mr. Su, whatever conditions you have, just say them; everything can be negotiated."
Such a young Inner Strength Expert, he absolutely couldn’t let slip away.
Su Luo laughed and said, "I’m not interested in joining you. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t collaborate."
Chen Boxiong frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I won’t join you. But if one day you need me to make a move for you, as long as you can provide what I need, I am willing to make a move on your behalf," Su Luo said.
Having mingled in both the underworld and legitimate spheres for many years, Chen Boxiong could naturally tell that Su Luo wasn’t just negotiating terms; he genuinely didn’t want to join.
"Having your word is good enough for me. If I need you, I will find you," Chen Boxiong said as he quickly made a decision and then exchanged contact information with Su Luo.
After Su Luo left,
Chen Boxiong looked towards Geng Hai, "Elder Geng, what do you think of him?"
"He doesn’t seem like a martial artist," Geng Hai shook his head.
Chen Boxiong frowned.
Not like a martial artist?
Yet, Geng Hai’s expression was quite serious as he said, "But I sensed a feeling of danger from him. I even think that if I were to suddenly attack him with the intent to kill, there might be a chance that he could turn it around and kill me instead."
This shouldn’t be, but he indeed had this feeling.
"Even you feel the danger and aren’t confident about killing him?" Chen Boxiong’s face slightly changed.
This made him even more determined to win over Su Luo.
If Su Luo was not willing to join, then maintaining a cooperative relationship for now was fine: slowly interacting, keeping a good relationship with each other, that would work too.
...
Once Su Luo returned to the private room, everyone treated him as if he were the center of the universe.
This made Su Luo somewhat uncomfortable.
Of course, there were two exceptions.
One was the supervisor, Wang Zhihua.
And the other was Xia Yi.
Seeing everyone else trying to ingratiate themselves with Su Luo, Xia Yi actually kept a certain distance from him, which was a bit surprising to Su Luo.
But, thinking about it, it wasn’t strange; based on his understanding of Xia Yi, she wasn’t the kind of person to curry favor with the powerful.
Otherwise, with her beauty and capability, she would have already been promoted to a higher position.
And it was precisely because of this, Su Luo liked and respected Xia Yi all the more.
Of course, this liking wasn’t about male and female desires, but purely admiration.
Facing these somewhat altered interpersonal relationships among colleagues, Su Luo actually felt somewhat awkward. Just as he planned to speak to Xia Yi and take his leave,
Wang Zhihua unexpectedly stepped forward, approaching Su Luo.
He held a bottle of liquor in his hand, seemingly too nervous to look at Su Luo, and stammered out, "Su, Su Luo... no, Mr. Su... I apologize to you. I’m sorry, and I hope you won’t hold a grudge against someone like me."
Having said that, Wang Zhihua then gulped down the entire bottle of beer.
He had no choice; he was on edge, afraid of Su Luo’s retaliation.
"In the future, don’t think about harassing Sister Yi," Su Luo said to Wang Zhihua with a cold voice.
"I know, I know," Wang Zhihua quickly responded.
"Good that you know. If I find out that you dare to trouble Sister Yi again or deliberately target her, I think you wouldn’t like to see the consequences," Su Luo said.
He was about to leave the company, so putting Wang Zhihua in his place was also a way to create a better working environment for Xia Yi.
"I understand, I really do," sweat dripped from Wang Zhihua’s forehead as he hastily spoke.
Xia Yi, standing to the side, had also heard Su Luo’s words,
which caused her face to change. As she looked at Su Luo, her gaze had finally begun to change compared to before.
Even at this moment, Su Luo was still considering her, standing up for her?
As for what Su Luo felt about her...
Xia Yi dared not think further.
She just bit her lip, looked at Su Luo, but when Su Luo turned to look at her, Xia Yi quickly averted her eyes, not daring to meet his gaze.
This left Su Luo somewhat puzzled.
Sister Yi, why does it feel like something is off with you today?
