"What else could it be? When nature calls, you gotta go. Look at her, she must've held it in too long," Luo Chao said without even turning his head.
You could see Luo Chao's upper body covered with intersecting scars, along with over a dozen indelible bullet holes that looked so grotesque and frightening. One bullet hole near his heart was especially alarming; that shot almost took Luo Chao's life.
Luo Chao had never been attacked from behind, because in every battle, he was always the first to charge at the enemy, never a deserter. Thus, his back had no scars, but the knife and sword scars on his chest, along with the nurous bullet holes, were enough to make anyone's heart tremble, let alone soone like Li Ruotong, a girl born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
At this mont, Luo Chao showed a wry smile; indeed, a woman's curiosity is terrifying.
It was just as well if she was scared; after all, they weren't from the sa world. Better to draw a line sooner than later, Luo Chao thought to himself. He quickly got dressed, fearing he'd give his own wife nightmares.
Deep down, Luo Chao might have deliberately let her see, but he just wasn't willing to admit it.
Luo Chao shook his head and walked out of the shooting hall, greeted by a cheer from countless people. Seeing Luo Chao co out, today's shooting task was surely completed perfectly.
Ning Wanxi looked at his back; the strong light dragged his shadow longer and longer. At that mont, Luo Chao seed a bit lonely, a bit desolate. Ning Wanxi really wanted to know what exactly had happened, and what Li Ruotong had seen.
Just then, Li Ruotong ca out from the restroom, but she didn't see Luo Chao anymore. She dashed out like mad but still couldn't find him.
Ning Wanxi saw the bloodshot remains in Li Ruotong's pupils; she had cried earlier. At this mont, Ning Wanxi gazed outside, her beautiful eyes glistening, lost in thought.
The Golden Leaf Building is located in the business center of Nanhua District in Jiangning City. It's a unique 56-story skyscraper occupying more than 10,000 square ters with many companies operating within—one company per floor.
Rent here is naturally exorbitant, with higher floors being even more expensive. Rumor has it the top-floor rent costs as much as 500,000 per month.
At this mont, Luo Chao stood at the entrance of the Golden Leaf Building, looking up at the impressive skyscraper that seed to pierce the clouds. He muttered, "Leopard really is splurging. Renting a place here to start a business."
"Lu Shao!" A big, chubby man walked out from the door. Who else could it be but Leopard? In a suit and leather shoes that glinted under the sun, he waved with a grin.
Seeing his outfit, Luo Chao laughed, "Leopard, you clean up well."
Leopard scratched his head, chuckling, "It's all thanks to you, Lu Shao."
"Co on, Lu Shao, let show you around the company," Leopard said, rubbing his hands together excitedly, hoping Luo Chao would check out the fruits of his recent labor.
"Okay, let's go," Luo Chao followed him into the Golden Leaf Building, with the company located on the eighth floor. Renting any higher wouldn't be cheap.
As Luo Chao stepped off the elevator, behind a wide glass door sat a large reception desk. On the wall above it hung the words "Yidefu Ren Security Company," dazzling to the eye.
Two charming young won stood at the reception desk, likely fresh out of college. They sweetly called out, "Hello, President Lu, President Lei."
Luo Chao was puzzled. How did they recognize him? He glanced suspiciously at Leopard, who gave a silly grin—it must have been his doing.
"Hello," Luo Chao smiled, following Leopard into the company.
"President Lu is so handso!"
"Yeah, and so young. I wonder if I stand a chance."
"President Lu would never look at us. Stop your daydreaming."
The two young won chatted away noisily. The company was newly established and was in need of personnel, and they were lucky enough to secure positions at the reception, with pretty good benefits too.
The security company had undergone a thorough renovation. Even though it couldn't match the luxurious offices of the Tengyuan Group, it wasn't cheap either. Each office was ticulously arranged, including departnts like Market Expansion, Finance, Human Resources, Vice Manager's Office, General Manager's Office, etc. All the offices were well-equipped, with the scale not small at all.
Each office was occupied with people working. Though few in number, they had the initial makings of a productive team. Luo Chao smiled and asked, "Did you recruit all these people?"
Leopard nodded, "Yes, I found them on job websites. Lu Shao, don't worry about bringing in relatives—all these people are fresh graduates from prestigious universities, full of energy."
When the employees saw Luo Chao and Leopard, they beca as enthusiastic as ever, continuously greeting them with "Hello, President Lu, Hello, President Lei" warmly.
"A newly established company does indeed need fresh blood to grow together," Luo Chao acknowledged each employee with a wave, feeling a bit out of his elent—this was the first ti anyone addressed him as "President."
When Leopard and Luo Chao reached the General Manager's office, Leopard said, "Lu Shao, this is your office!"
"Mine?" Luo Chao was stunned.
Leopard laughed, "Of course, Lu Shao. This company was funded by you. I'm just here to assist, so you're naturally the General Manager."
As a private enterprise, the highest leader was, of course, the General Manager. Unlike a large-scale listed company like Tengyuan Group, which had several directors.
Luo Chao shook his head, "You know I work at Tengyuan Group. I don't have ti to manage a company. Besides, I invested this money hoping your Little Saber Association could turn over a new leaf and run a legitimate business, not for making money."
Leopard paused and sighed, "Lu Shao, you were in the military and detest people like us in the underground world. I understand what you're thinking, and I'm tired of the life of fighting and killing too. I'm no freeloading Leopard either. How could I take your money and profit alone? Wealth should be shared. Lu Shao, I feel in your leadership, our company will only grow bigger. If you don't want to do it, I really don't have the confidence to keep this company running. If you don't agree, I'll have to shut it down."
Leopard had witnessed Lu Shao's capabilities firsthand, believing that with Luo Chao around, no challenge was insurmountable. Therefore, to make big money, he had to rely on Luo Chao, willingly being his deputy.
Lu Suan could no longer refuse, so he smiled and said, "Let's be clear: I don't have much ti to manage the company."
Leopard squinted, "Don't worry, Lu Shao. Whenever you have ti, just drop by to guide . I'll handle the managent."
