The Correct Way to Open It

At the dinner table, Liu Kun left after eating a little, leaving Chen Xu and the other young people.

However, everyone was still a bit reserved because Luo Xiyun was still there.

Although she was younger than most people present, she held the highest position and was known for being difficult to get along with. Without familiarity, everyone seemed very restrained.

Chen Xu basically didn't speak, focusing on eating. He rarely came to such high-end restaurants, and he hadn't tried many of the dishes, so his attention was entirely on the food.

The meal was finished in a somewhat dull atmosphere.

After leaving the restaurant, everyone prepared to part ways. Those with cars went back to the company to get them, and the rest planned to take taxis, the subway, or the bus.

"Robbery—"

Suddenly, a woman's scream rang out from across the street. The crowd that had just dispersed all looked towards the source of the sound.

A man in a black top was running wildly across the street, with a woman in a dress chasing after him, shouting.

There were many pedestrians on the street, attracted by the woman's shouts, all stopping to watch the excitement. But no one offered to help. On the contrary, some people had already taken out their phones to film.

Suddenly, the man in black jumped over the guardrail and ran across the road.

"Someone, please help me..."

The woman in the dress, seeing that she was about to lose him, stood in front of the guardrail, anxious to the point of tears.

Standing at the entrance of the restaurant, Chen Xu saw this scene and was reminded of a bad memory.

When he had just started his freshman year, he had used the money he earned from a summer job to buy a phone for over three thousand yuan, which he treasured at the time.

As a result, the first time he went out shopping with a few roommates, it was snatched right off the street.

He didn't dare tell his family and ended up buying a used feature phone to use.

Since then, he had hated robbers.

Seeing that the man in black was about to cross the road, he suddenly took a bottled 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, surprised, "You don't want to use that to hit him, do you?"

Chen Xu ignored her, took aim, and in an instant, it was as if he had entered a magical state. The man's movements slowed down in his eyes.

He even seemed to be able to predict the other party's next move. The other party's posture a few seconds later naturally appeared in his mind.

Now.

He captured the best moment to strike and threw the drink bottle in his hand without hesitation.

At the same time, the man in black had run to the guardrail on this side. He held a woman's bag under his arm, supported himself on the guardrail with both hands, stepped onto a crossbar with one foot, and stood up.

As long as he crossed this guardrail, there would be a turn ahead, and he could escape by diving into any alley.

Thinking of this, he prepared to jump down. Just as he exerted force with his foot, he felt something hit the back of his leg, and his foot immediately missed its mark.

Crap.

He lost his balance and fell headfirst. His hands waved in the air, trying to grab something, but it was too late.

With a bang, his head hit the ground hard.

The onlookers didn't expect such a change to occur. Seeing his miserable state, their eyelids twitched heavily.

The female victim had just crossed the first guardrail and saw this scene across the road. She was overjoyed, ran over, and retrieved her bag.

"That works?"

The female colleague saw the robber fall from the guardrail, her mouth forming an O shape, looking at Chen Xu in astonishment.

Chen Xu put a finger in front of his mouth, signaling her to keep it a secret.

Thieves and robbers like this might have accomplices. It was better to keep a low profile to avoid 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, indicating that she understood. But there was a little excitement in her eyes.

After this interlude, everyone dispersed.

After Chen Xu boarded the bus, he suddenly wondered, what was that female colleague's name again?

Today, I met over a dozen new colleagues, but I didn't remember a single one of their names.

However, he quickly dismissed the thought. He was more interested in the strange state he had experienced earlier. He had thrown so many things before, but he had never felt that way.

"Could this be the correct way to use the 'Throwing Precision' talent?"

He was very excited. Having personally experienced that state, he understood how powerful this talent was. He could predict the opponent's movements, and when the bottle was thrown, it was as if the opponent deliberately ran into it. Awesome.

"Is it because the target is dynamic?"

He speculated.

He had never really tried it with a dynamic target before.

He couldn't help but think of the card, which depicted a man holding a javelin in a throwing pose. This revealed the true purpose of the card.

"Hmm, could it be that this talent is best suited for javelin throwers?"

He thought about it, but it didn't seem likely. After all, javelin throwers are judged by who can throw the farthest. The focus of this talent, however, is on the word 'precision'.

Of course, more importantly, he wasn't very interested in becoming a track and field athlete; the training was too hard.

As he was thinking, he suddenly felt a heavy fatigue, as if his energy had been overdrawn.

He didn't dare to fall asleep on the bus, so he forced himself to stay awake. When he got home, he didn't even want to take a shower and went straight to bed, falling asleep quickly.

The next morning, Chen Xu finally recovered his energy.

"This is too mentally draining; it's best to use it sparingly in the future," he thought with some lingering fear.

Indeed, powerful skills don't come without a price. The aftereffects were quite severe.

When Chen Xu arrived at the company, all his colleagues were already there. New department, new leader, everyone wanted to perform well, so they all arrived early. He was the only one who arrived just on time, as usual.

"Chen Xu."

As soon as he entered, the female colleague from yesterday waved to greet him.

"Morning," he responded politely, noticing the strange looks in the eyes of several male colleagues next to her.

Although he referred to this girl as a very common female colleague, in reality, she was quite attractive, second only to Luo Xiyun in the entire company.

Since yesterday, several male colleagues had been trying to get close to her.

Clearly, her greeting him had made them see him as a potential competitor.

He wanted to say, 'You're overthinking it; your opponent is Director Liu.'

In the company, every single female employee, when they saw Director Liu, their eyes lit up. Including some who weren't single.
