Chapter 161 Wait until I surpass you (Seeking monthly votes)
The man in the lead voluntarily left the house, intending to check the situation in the kitchen.
Not long after he stepped outside, Zhang Xu's voice rang out from not far away.
He was covered in frost, his nose was red from the cold, and he kept sniffing, as if he was radiating cold air.
"Boss, don't fall for Xu Qingmo's tricks. She may be young, but she's very shrewd."
"Of course I know. If she were an idiot, how could she have made explosives?"
Zhang Xu could not refute this statement.
However, he didn't want to kneel for the full three hours. Only half an hour had passed, and he felt cold all over.
If he had actually knelt for three hours as instructed, he would have been half-dead, if not dead.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xu immediately pleaded for himself.
"Boss, I brought Xu Qingmo back. She may not have done anything special, but she certainly put in a lot of effort. Could you please be magnanimous and forgive me this time?" Zhang Xu asked cautiously.
The leading man hesitated for a moment before letting Zhang Xu stand up.
Zhang Xu's legs were almost stiff and numb from the cold. It took him a while to get up from the ground.
"Don't say things you shouldn't say in the future, especially when there are people of higher status around you. We're not stupid, and we don't like being repeatedly offended. You, as an adult, should understand this situation."
The leading man still cared about this level of matters.
After kneeling down, Zhang Xu reflected on everything and realized he had been too impulsive.
Xu Qingmo actually turned the tables on him.
When he has time, he will definitely make trouble for Xu Qingmo.
Right now, he must firmly remember his identity and prevent himself from making any more mistakes.
"What the leader taught me is that I will definitely be strict with myself in the future and become a person that the leader can trust."
"Go to the kitchen and see why the food isn't ready yet."
Zhang Xu immediately perked up and went to the kitchen with a smile.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, he heard an annoying noise coming from inside. It was his nemesis brazenly telling others how he had knelt down and how he had been punished.
This prompted the others in the kitchen to join in laughing at him.
Zhang Xu stood at the door, listening to the conversation inside, his face growing increasingly grim.
“That Zhang Xu always thinks he’s more capable than me and is valued by the leaders. But as you can see, although I didn’t go out on any missions, I wasn’t punished either, unlike some people who are kneeling in the snow outside like stray dogs.”
“That Zhang Xu always looks down on people, I’ve disliked him for a long time.”
"Next time he looks down at you, just stick two big green onions up his nostrils and laugh at him for pretending to be an elephant."
"This is good, this is good."
"Cough cough cough..." Zhang Xu coughed a few times on purpose, drawing all eyes to himself.
The once peaceful atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
The others in the kitchen immediately pretended to be very busy, and some took the opportunity to try to escape.
Zhang Xu blocked the door, refusing to let anyone leave.
He walked into the room and, seeing the flustered looks on some people's faces, couldn't help but tease them, "Weren't you quite talkative just now? Why did you suddenly stop? Continue, I want to hear more too."
Zhang Xu's voice wasn't loud, but it was deeply moving.
His arch-nemesis stared at him coldly and reminded him, "You're still in your punishment period. If you get up rashly and the boss finds out, you'll definitely be in big trouble."
Zhang Xu chuckled, "Even if I'm punished, it'll be me. Why are you so concerned? I'm not as free as you. It's not impossible for me to do things that displease the leaders. After all, nobody's perfect. But I still have the opportunity to go out and carry out missions. That's what makes me better than you."
Zhang Xu couldn't help but laugh at the other party for being ignored and not being valued by their superiors at all.
This is also a source of pain for the other person.
He always wanted to prove himself and wanted to do better than Zhang Xu, but the leadership simply wouldn't give him a chance.
Since that incident, although he was still in the military camp, his presence was almost superfluous.
He tried to communicate with his superiors, but they all told him to go back and wait for news.
We've been waiting until now, but all we've seen is Zhang Xu accepting missions, leaving, and then returning time and time again.
Seeing everything Zhang Xu was enjoying, which was what he had before, he felt increasingly unhappy.
"Don't be so smug. You've always been inferior to me. It's only because I fell on hard times that you had the opportunity to rise to the top. Don't be proud. As long as I seize the opportunity, I will definitely surpass you again."
"Really? Then I'll wait for you to surpass me, but don't keep me waiting too long, I get tired too."
Zhang Xu deliberately mocked the other person, and seeing the other person's face grow increasingly ugly, he felt much better.
Immediately, Zhang Xu questioned the people in the kitchen, "The boss told you to prepare the food and deliver it, but you're all slacking off and chatting here. I don't think any of you want to continue working here."
Many people in the kitchen began to panic.
Some people even pushed Zhang Xu's mortal enemy out to take the blame.
“Actually, we have been working properly. It was just that he came here and disturbed our work because he had nothing better to do. Otherwise, we would have already sent the food over.”
“That’s right, that’s right. We didn’t want to talk to him at all, but he kept talking to us and saying bad things about you. It was so offensive to us.”
"He's definitely up to no good. He didn't receive the mission himself, but he wants to drag us down with him. He's a really bad guy."
Many people stepped forward to criticize the other party, none of them wanting to be punished.
After all, Zhang Xu is currently in a stronger position than his opponent.
They were very perceptive and immediately sided with Zhang Xu, each of them showing strong aversion to the other person.
Zhang Xu's nemesis was trembling with rage.
These people change their tune as quickly as turning the pages of a book. They were clearly more enthusiastic about talking badly about Zhang Xu than he was before, but now they're blaming him for everything.
"You bastards, how dare you talk to me like that? When I stand up again one day, I will definitely not let you off easily."
Zhang Xu reminded him, "You need to have a chance to stand up first; it's not enough to just talk the talk."
The crowd burst into laughter, and the other person's face turned pale and then red, looking extremely unpleasant.
Zhang Xu warned, "Anyone loitering in the kitchen, leave now. If you continue to cause trouble here, don't blame me for being impolite."
Before his arch-rival could say anything more, he was grabbed by several people and thrown out of the kitchen.
Under Zhang Xu's arrangement, these people immediately carried hot meals to the leader's room.
Xu Qingmo looked at the six dishes on the table, but did not sit down. She glanced at the table indifferently, and then walked to the side.
Zhou Tianyu looked at the steaming food, his stomach growling.
For the past few days, he has been eating leftover cold food, which is not only unpalatable but has also caused him stomach aches several times.
