However, everyone was still a little hesitant because Luo Xiyun was still there.
Although she was younger than most people present, she held the highest position and was notoriously difficult to get along with, so everyone seemed very reserved when they were not familiar with each other.
Chen Xu basically didn't talk, and he was just concentrating on eating. It was rare for him to come to such a high-end restaurant, and he hadn't tried many of the dishes, so his attention was entirely on the food.
The meal ended in a somewhat depressing atmosphere.
After leaving the restaurant, everyone prepared to separate. Those who had cars went back to the company to pick up their cars, while the rest planned to take a taxi, take the subway, or take the bus.
"Robbery—"
Suddenly, a woman's scream was heard across the street, and the crowd who had just dispersed looked towards the location where the sound came from.
A man in a black shirt was running wildly across the street, and behind him, a woman in a dress was chasing him and shouting.
There were many pedestrians on the street, attracted by the woman's screams, and they all stopped to watch the excitement. But no one came to help. Instead, some people took out their phones and took pictures.
Suddenly, the man in black jumped over the guardrail and crossed the road.
"Someone help me..."
The woman in the dress was about to fall behind, so she stood in front of the guardrail, almost crying with anxiety.
Chen Xu, who was standing at the door of the restaurant, saw this scene and was reminded of a bad memory.
When he was a freshman in college, he used the money he earned from working during the summer vacation to buy a mobile phone for more than 3,000 yuan. At that time, he treasured it very much.
As a result, when I went shopping with some roommates for the first time, I was robbed on the street.
He didn't dare tell his family and ended up buying a second-hand feature phone.
From then on, he hated these robbers very much.
Seeing that the man in black was about to cross the road, he suddenly took the bottle of drink from a female colleague next to him and said, "Borrow it for a moment."
"What are you doing?" The female colleague looked at his actions and asked in surprise, "You're not going to hit him with this, are you?"
Chen Xu ignored her and took aim. Suddenly, he seemed to be in a strange state. The man's movements slowed down in his eyes.
He even seemed to be able to predict the other person's next move. His mind naturally imagined the other person's posture in a few seconds.
Right now.
He seized the best opportunity to attack and threw the bottle in his hand out without hesitation.
At the same time, the man in black had already run to the guardrail on this side. He held a women's bag under his armpit, supported the guardrail with both hands, put one foot on the horizontal bar, and stood on it.
As long as you cross this guardrail, there is a turn ahead. You can then go into any alley and escape.
Thinking of this, he was about to jump down, but as soon as he exerted force with his foot, he felt something hit his knee and his foot stepped on empty air.
Oops.
He lost his balance and fell headfirst, waving his hands in the air, trying to grab something, but it was too late.
With a bang, his head hit the ground heavily.
The people who were watching the fun nearby did not expect such a sudden change to happen. When they saw his miserable condition, their eyelids twitched heavily.
The female owner of the lost bag had just crossed the first guardrail. She saw this scene across the road and was so overjoyed that she ran over and took her bag back.
…………
"Is this possible?"
When the female colleague saw the robber fall off the guardrail, her mouth opened into an O shape and she looked at Chen Xu in surprise.
Thieves and robbers like this are likely to have accomplices. It is better to keep a low profile to avoid getting into trouble. Anyway, when he threw the drink bottle just now, no one else should have seen it except this female colleague.
The female colleague nodded quickly to show that she understood, but there was a little excitement in her eyes.
After this episode, everyone dispersed.
After Chen Xu got on the bus, he suddenly thought, what was the name of that female colleague?
I met more than a dozen new colleagues today, but I didn’t remember the names of any of them.
However, he turned his head and put this thought behind him. He was more interested in the strange state just now. He had thrown so many things before, but he had never felt this way.
"Could this be the correct way to use the talent 'Precision Throwing'?"
He was very excited. After experiencing that state himself, he realized how powerful this talent was. He could predict the opponent's movements. After throwing the bottle, it was as if the opponent had hit it on purpose. It was amazing.
“Because the goal is dynamic?”
He had some guesses in his mind.
Before, he had never tried a dynamic target.
He couldn't help but think of the card, which showed a man holding a javelin and making a throwing gesture. This revealed the true purpose of the card.
"Hey, could it be that this talent is best suited to being a javelin thrower?"
He thought about it and felt that this was not reliable. After all, the javelin thrower was tested on who could throw farther. And the key to this talent was accuracy.
Of course, more importantly, he was not very interested in becoming a track and field athlete because the training was too hard.
As he was thinking, he suddenly felt a strong sense of tiredness, as if he had exhausted too much energy.
He didn't dare fall asleep in the car, so he forced himself to stay asleep. When he got home, he didn't even want to take a shower. He just lay down and fell asleep quickly.
…………
It was not until the next morning that Chen Xu regained his spirits.
"This is too exhausting. I'd better use it less in the future." He thought with some fear.
As expected, powerful skills cannot be achieved without paying a certain price. The main reason is that the sequelae are quite serious.
When Chen Xu arrived at the company, all his colleagues had arrived. With a new department and a new leader, everyone wanted to perform well, so they all came early, except for him, who arrived on time as usual.
"Chen Xu."
As soon as he entered the door, the female colleague from yesterday waved and greeted him.
"Good morning." He responded politely, and sensitively noticed that the eyes of several male colleagues next to him were a little strange.
Although he used the very popular three words "female colleague" to refer to this girl, in fact, her appearance is quite high, second only to Luo Xiyun in the entire company.
Since yesterday, several male colleagues have been approaching her.
Apparently, her proactive approach had led them to consider him as a potential competitor.
He really wanted to say, you are overthinking it, your opponent is Mr. Liu.
In the company, every single girl's eyes light up when they see CEO Liu, including some girls who are not single.
