Peerless Genius System Chapter 578 - Ridiculous

Chapter 578: Ridiculous

“Old Xiao, your wife Goddess Su, Shen Qingyan from Huayao Group, and Cai Renhe from Renhe Medicines want to meet you. I think it’s time to end this war, don’t you think?” Zhang Dashan said. He spoke through the phone in his uniquely thunderous voice. Just hearing his booming voice alone gave one the impression of a huge man talking on the other end of the line.
Xiao Luo had nothing to do that afternoon and was watching television on his sofa. He found it a little weird hearing this from Zhang Dashan. He had known this day would come, but he had expected it to come later rather than sooner.
He thought for a bit, then said, “Handle it on your own.”
“I can’t do that, old sport. They’ve already mentioned that they want to meet the real owner of Luo Workshop. I’m just your spokesperson, so I’m not qualified to do that,” Zhang Dashan said.
“…”
Xiao Luo had nothing to say. He initially thought it would be better to avoid trouble, but now it seemed like he could no longer avoid it.
“Damn it, are you going to meet them or not. Can’t you just give me a straightforward answer?” Zhang Dashan ranted.
“I’ll meet them.”
“Alright, it’s at 3 pm today, in the VIP room of Luo Workshop. Don’t be late!”
“Ok.”
Xiao Luo nodded his head and ended the call.
Su Li entered his apartment ten minutes later. She had come in by entering the passcode without knocking on the door as usual.
She was wearing a black yarn skirt which gave her a demure and beautiful appearance. With her slender waist and the light, elegant steps she took, this woman’s beauty was always enough to take one’s breath away.
“I thought you weren’t in,” Su Li’s voice was light. She walked towards the sofa.
“I just happened to have some free time now.”
Xiao Luo poured a cup of tea for her, “What’s the matter? Why are you looking for me?”
“Can’t I look for you without any reason?” Su Li raised her head and looked at Xiao Luo’s face with her eyes as clear as water.
Xiao Luo was stunned, but smiled and said, “Sure, of course, you can.”
Su Li took a sip of her tea and paused before she said, “My Sumir has lost to Luo Workshop.”
“Hmm, news of both of these organizations are all over the headlines. I don’t know even if I wanted it this way,” Xiao Luo said as he nodded his head.
Su Li was behaving like a young girl whining to her boyfriend. “Besides all these, don’t you have anything else to say to me?” she said.
Xiao Luo shook his head and replied, “I don’t know what else to say.”
“Forget it!”
Su Li took her eyes off of him with a slight bit of disappointment and changed the subject. “I’m going to meet the person in charge of Luo Workshop this afternoon. Will you have the time to help me look after Su Xiaobei?”
Xiao Luo’s face looked awkward. “This… actually I have something to attend to later,” he said.
“Although I don’t know what you’re busy with these days, it’s ok to be a little busy. Alright, I’ll just call Su Canye over to take care of her, you can go do your thing.”
“Alright.”
After mentioning that, they both found nothing else to say to one another. The silence in the apartment was deafening, and you could only hear the sound coming from the television.
Su Li glanced at what was showing on the television. It was the story between a group of hyenas and a group of lions taking place at the vast African savanna. They were both at the top of the food chain and carried out their activities in packs. The program showed bloody scenes of the hunters and the hunted, and it was evident that life on the vast grasslands of the savanna was cruel and unforgiving–such was life on Earth.
“Do you actually enjoy watching these kinds of shows?” Su Li said. She was trying to make conversation.
“I had nothing else better to do so I just turned it on and thought it was pretty interesting. These hyenas might look small but won’t hesitate to steal food from a lion’s mouth when they’re hungry,” Xiao Luo replied as he sat down beside her, about half a meter away from one another.
“Is that so?”
Su Li furrowed her brows. Although she was looking forward to closing the distance between her and Xiao Luo, doing so was a little daunting for her and made her feel awkward. The present moment was a fine example–since she had poured her heart and soul into Sumir, all she wanted was for this guy to comfort her. Now that she was suffering such mounting pressure on her business all of a sudden, it would be a lie to say that she was not feeling depressed about it.
“That’s right. See, aren’t they stealing the lion’s prey right now?”
Xiao Luo finally found a common topic for him to talk about with her and he was not going to let this opportunity slip. He was also sure of his gut-feeling and was convinced that she liked him as well. She didn’t know how to express it. Otherwise, back when he was in Libya, they wouldn’t have chatted on WeChat till midnight. It was a memorable moment and if he had not been in Libya back then but here in this apartment, he was sure that he would have broken down her apartment door, walk toward Su Li and hugged her.
“Do you know which part of the prey do hyenas love attacking the most?” he asked.
Su Li shook her head, indicating that she didn’t know. “Which part?” she said.
“The excretory opening, also known as the anus,” Xiao Luo said matter-of-factly.
“Huh?” As soon as Su Li heard that, her pretty face turned red and her eyes were opened wide. She turned her head around to look at this man, and thought to herself, that kind of word, how could this guy say something like that while keeping a straight face?
But she still responded, “Why is that so?”
“This is a kind of strategy. You can also say that this is a predicament caused by their stature–hyenas are short. They can’t bite into their prey’s neck, but as the underbelly and rear end are much softer than the other parts, so they can easily bite down on it. As long as they can bite into their intestines, no matter how far their prey runs, their intestines will still be in the hyena’s mouth. The more the prey runs and struggles, the more their intestines are going to get pulled out. Eventually, they’ll achieve their goal of killing their prey. This instinct is already an instinct and is embedded into their genes,” Xiao Luo explained. He felt that this was basic animal instinct, so, he naturally said everything he wanted to say.
But Su Li’s hair was standing on ends after listening to that. Just picturing the bloody scene, and one that involved a body part that was embarrassing even to mention, to begin with, Su Li found herself feeling awkward and uncomfortable with the feeling she was experiencing right now. Besides the four words “a kind of strategy,” reminded her of her Sumir and Luo Workshop. No matter how she thought about it, Luo Workshop was like the hyena, while her Sumir was the prey.
She quickly drank her tea to get Xiao Luo to stop talking about it. “Alright, I got it. What about lions then?”
“Lions have a huge body. They are powerful and won’t attack the anus like the hyenas. They will bite straight down into their prey’s throat. But when they are devouring their prey, some lions do enjoy starting from their prey’s anus as well…”
“PFTT!”
After hearing Xiao Luo talking about the anus again, Su Li couldn’t help but spit the tea from her mouth out. She gritted her teeth and stared at Xiao Luo. “Are you doing this on purpose?” she cried.
Xiao Luo was dumbfounded. “Doing what on purpose?”
“Saying that vulgar word again and again!”
Su Li’s cheeks turned hot. Forget mentioning the word, just hearing it made her uncomfortable. She would have ignored it if this jerk had only mentioned it once, but saying it again and again, made her wonder if this word was not the least bit vulgar to him at all! Besides, they were finally starting to talk a little, but it always ended with that word, which made her feel like she was about to go crazy real soon.
“Anus is an academic word, how is it a vulgar word? I didn’t even say *ss… hmm, you know what word I’m referring to, right?” Xiao Luo explained.
*ss what?
Just what kind of material was this jerk’s skin made of? Was it thicker than the city wall?
Su Li was turning crazy. She knew that the word that Xiao Luo was mentioning ended with “hole” and her pretty face turned red.
“Shameless, you’re so dirty!”
She threw those words at Xiao Luo, stood up, and left. She felt like she was about to go crazy real soon if she stayed here any longer.
Xiao Luo had nothing to say. He was only talking about the stuff that he knew, how was it shameless and dirty? What was wrong with mentioning the word anus? Wasn’t it natural for an expert to talk about the anus to the hundreds of students he had in front of an educational video?
To be called shameless and dirty was absolutely ridiculous!
