26: Luther's shock

LexCorp Headquarters, 28th Floor!

Bang!

"What? They all left?"

"What are they trying to do?"

"What? A young man chased them away?"

"Bring him up to me. I want to see why he's so arrogant!"

Inside Lex's presidential office, Luthor angrily hung up the internal call. Just now, he received news from the Human Resources Department that today's job fair had been ruined, and it seemed to be because of an Asian!

"Damn it, I want to see who dares to mess with my plans!"

Luthor's face showed a hint of ferocity. Not long ago, LexCorp's head of security was fired by him for personal reasons. Now, he had intended to recruit a new talent to fill the newly vacant position of Security Director, but he never expected someone to dare to cause trouble, making his interview schedule for today almost a joke.

Knock knock knock~

Luthor's wait didn't last long. As a clear knocking sound came from outside the door, Luthor, unable to suppress his temper any longer, shouted loudly.

"Get in here!"

The next second, the person outside the door, hearing Luthor's undisguised anger, immediately opened the office door. The HR person leading the way was about to step inside, but Li An grabbed his shoulder, then bypassed the LexCorp HR, and finally walked into the office.

"Hmm?"

Looking at the unfamiliar Asian who suddenly walked into the office, Luthor's face first froze, then he immediately reacted.

"It's you, isn't it?"

"The guy who caused trouble in HR today!"

"Damn it, who gave you the courage to cause a ruckus on my turf?"

As he spoke, Luthor grabbed the ashtray in front of him and threw it at Li An's head. In his imagination, this Asian would have his head split open on the spot the next second, and then begin to beg for mercy.

But some things are always beautiful in imagination, but the reality is often harsh.

Li An looked at the flying ashtray, not even bothering to lift his eyelids. He directly clenched his fist and instantly shattered it, causing the ashtray to turn into countless crystal shards, scattered throughout the office.

"I'm sorry, Mr. President, he..."

At this moment, the same scene was witnessed by the LexCorp HR who followed closely behind. When she saw Li An actually shatter an ashtray made of special material with one punch, her face also showed shock.

"Hmm?"

Just then, Luthor, after his outburst, was also stunned when he saw this shocking scene. But he reacted extremely quickly, instantly realizing that Li An was not simple. So he immediately turned to his HR and said.

"Wait, you can go now."

As he spoke, Luthor waved his hand unceremoniously, signaling the HR to leave quickly.

Seeing that the boss had spoken, the HR naturally didn't dare to stay. However, before leaving, she gave Li An a deep look, then walked towards the door, and as she turned, she thoughtfully closed the door again.

...

As the HR left, the atmosphere in the office immediately became quiet. Luthor was due to his previous emotional issues, while Li An hadn't yet thought of a suitable reason to speak.

However, Li An clearly underestimated Luthor's thick skin. After only a few tens of seconds, Luthor put on a familiar demeanor and quickly walked up to Li An, intimately putting his arm around Li An's shoulder.

"What is your name, sir?"

"Was what you just did the legendary kung fu?"

As he spoke, Luthor even gestured a few times with interest, but in Li An's eyes, Luthor was no different from a monkey.

But now, Li An naturally couldn't talk to Luthor like that. He still needed to use Luthor's power, although devouring Luthor was also a good idea, Li An was not that bloodthirsty in the end, so he felt there were other ways.

"That's right, it's kung fu."

"My name is Li An. I heard Mr. Luthor is hiring, and I personally think I should be able to meet your requirements, so I came to apply."

"I just don't know what kind of talent Mr. Luthor is looking for this time?"

Looking at the thick-skinned Luthor, Li An smiled slightly, showing a harmless expression.

To be honest, if Luthor hadn't witnessed Li An's ability to shatter a custom-made ashtray with one punch, he would never have believed that this young man, who seemed a few years younger than him, actually possessed monstrous strength.

Hearing this, Luthor's mouth twitched slightly. He really wanted to say, you don't even know what kind of person I'm hiring, yet you chased away all the applicants. Now that only you are left, does it still matter what kind of talent I'm looking for?

Of course!

Luthor only dared to think this in his mind. And this time, he was indeed looking for talent in security. He naturally recognized the strength Li An possessed.

"This time, I happen to need a Security Director. It just so happens that I think Mr. Li An is indeed excellent. Are you interested in working for me?"

Luthor's mind immediately became active. Although he was a bit annoyed with Li An, the most important point was that Luthor was indeed impressed by the martial prowess Li An possessed.

Although Li An only shattered an ashtray, it was a specially made item. He had once shot the ashtray with a gun while playing with it in the office, but it only left a white mark. From this, it is evident what kind of shock Li An's ability to shatter the ashtray with one punch left in Luthor's mind.

"Of course, it's my honor."

"It's a pleasure to serve you."

Facing Luthor's invitation, Li An naturally had no intention of refusing, and this was his original goal: to use LexCorp's power to help him find kryptonite.

"Hahaha, that's good."

"Alright, please wait a moment. I'll immediately arrange for someone to meet with you so you can familiarize yourself with the business processes first."

Seeing Li An agree, Luthor was overjoyed. He was naturally delighted to gain someone like Li An, who possessed monstrous strength.

Soon, Luthor used the internal phone for HR communication. Not long after, the knocking sound on the office door rang again. It was the same female HR from before. As soon as she entered the office, she walked up to Luthor, first bowing in greeting, then quietly waiting for Luthor's instructions.

At this moment, Luthor and Li An were still sitting face to face on the sofa. Seeing the HR walk up, Luthor immediately gave instructions, then looked at Li An with a smile and said.

"Dai Linna, this is the newly appointed Security Director, Mr. Li An. Please take Mr. Li An to the Security Department to familiarize him with the environment, and have the people under you help Mr. Li An understand the business processes well."

"Mr. Li An, you can go and look at the environment first. If anything comes up later, I will contact you directly."

Luthor looked at Li An with a smile, completely inscrutable as to what he was thinking.
