In fact, after rejecting Han Pingzhi's kindness, Zhou Yiming felt a little uneasy. After all, they had good intentions, but he rejected them in front of so many people. People who understood him said that he was selfless and did not understand him. People who do this will definitely say that they are inhumane and disrespectful.
Seeing that Han Pingzhi was confused for a while, instead of getting mad at himself after speaking, Yi Ming kept praising himself. Yi Ming was relieved. He wanted to deal with official business with Han Pingzhi immediately, but before he could speak, Han Pingzhi He spoke first.
"Brother Zhou, I agree with everything you just said, and I will keep those words in mind. When I investigate other cases in the future, I will also use these words to spur myself on."
Hearing these words, Zhou Yiming felt nervous because he didn't know whether Han Pingzhi was speaking from his heart or whether he was using these words to ridicule himself.
He cupped his fists and raised his hands, and said calmly: "Master Han, please don't say that, otherwise you will offend me!"
"Eh..." Han Pingzhi suddenly looked serious. He pushed Zhou Ming's hand aside and said, "Brother Zhou, I speak from my heart. I have been an official for many years, and I have seen countless officials, big and small. You are the first person I have ever seen who serves the country and the people wholeheartedly."
When Zhou Yiming saw Han Pingzhi speaking sincerely, the tension in his heart suddenly disappeared. He knew that such emotions could not be faked.
When all the policemen present heard Han Pingzhi's praise of Zhou Ming, they all sneered. They felt that Han Pingzhi's praise was too much. The reason why the man named Zhou refused the banquet just now was just pretending. His real purpose was... He just wanted to pretend to be incorruptible in front of everyone, because once this reputation of incorruptibility reaches the emperor's ears, it will definitely be of great help to his promotion and wealth in the future.
Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong stood on both sides of the team escorting the prisoners, guarding the prisoners conscientiously. The two of them no longer had any hope of having a big meal. They only hoped that the handover work could be completed as soon as possible so that they could return early. Go to the Yamen for a meal.
After Han Pingzhi finished his words of praise for Zhou Ming, he suddenly changed his tone: "Brother Zhou, a young man like you, with both ability and political integrity, will definitely have a bright future in the future.
But no matter how big an official you become in the future, you must reward Mr. Han for this banquet today and cannot refuse, otherwise don’t blame me, Mr. Han, for turning your back on me! "
Zhou Yiming originally thought that Han Pingzhi would continue to praise him, but what he never expected was that this old boy did not follow the routine, beat around the bush, and still insisted on treating him to a meal. Isn't this a delay?
The police officers who had given up any hope of having a big meal became energetic again after hearing Han Pingzhi's words. They all hoped that Han Pingzhi would never lose to Zhou Ming in terms of momentum. How courageous was he? The big yamen servant even looked at Zhou Ming with pitiful eyes, hoping to force him to submit in this way.
Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong knew Yi Ming's temper best. They were afraid that he would continue to reject Han Pingzhi and not give him favors. In that case, it would not only hurt their friendship, but also cast a shadow over the handling of this spy case. After all, this was All the culprits in this case were jointly captured by Han Pingzhi and Zhou Yiming. If the two of them disagree, it will be very troublesome for the case to be tried in the future.
The two people didn't wait for Zhou Ming to speak, and quickly walked to him, grabbed his sleeves, and pulled him aside.
Deng Tong was the first to persuade: "Brother Zhou, Mr. Han has already said that, so don't refuse him again. If you refuse him once, it is enough to hurt his face. If you don't give him face this time, what will you do in the future?" Cooperate with others?
Besides, it’s just a meal. It will definitely not affect the investigation of this case. If you are really worried, Lao Xia and I will not go to dinner. The two of us will just stare at these prisoners. And the two of us dare to I guarantee that nothing will go wrong. If there is an accident, if you want to kill or cut into pieces, there will be no difference between the two of us. "
Before Deng Tong finished speaking, Xia Dezhang stared and became anxious, because when Deng Tong spoke just now, he dragged him into the water without his consent, and even risked his life in the end. Deng Tong was so generous. The outrageous behavior of others made Xia Dezhang furious.
But at this time, in front of Zhou Ming, Xia Dezhang could not get angry, so he could only swallow his anger and follow Deng Tong to persuade Zhou Ming: "Inspector Deng is right, Brother Zhou, no matter what you think, the inspector who is in the south of the city is inspecting the Yamen." We must not offend Mr. Han, because he is our immediate boss.
If we ruin our relationship with him, it will be difficult for us to get ahead no matter how hard we work in the yamen in the future. "
Zhou Yiming thought that the two of them had something important to tell him. It turned out that they were trying to persuade him to eat this meal. While he was disappointed, he threw away the hands of the two of them impatiently and said:
"You two only have this little vision. You two think about it carefully. These people are like a hot potato in our hands. If they are not sent out early, once they die in our hands, you two will bear this responsibility." Responsibility?
Isn’t it just a meal? Do you think I am unwilling? If something goes wrong, as long as you two take responsibility, I will eat this meal. "
Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong thought along Zhou Ming's train of thought and immediately stopped talking, because what Zhou Ming said was very reasonable. Once something happened to the prisoner, they would not be able to bear the responsibility.
"If you don't have that kind of talent, don't imitate others to show off." Zhou Ming put down these words, turned around and walked away.
As a master of insight into human nature, Han Pingzhi had already guessed that when Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong pulled Zhou Ming away, they must have gone to persuade Zhou Ming. However, when Zhou Ming came back, based on the expression on his face, Han Pingzhi As expected, those two losers failed to persuade him.
Zhou Yiming just wanted to tell Han Pingzhi his truth to dispel his idea of entertaining him, but before he could speak, Han Pingzhi held his shoulders, took him aside, and whispered:
"Brother Zhou, those who know the current affairs are heroes. You should have heard this sentence."
Zhou Yiming frowned. He didn't understand why Han Pingzhi pulled him aside, and he didn't understand what he meant by saying this: "Master Han, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Okay, since Brother Zhou is so candid, I won't stand up to you anymore." Han Pingzhi straightened his clothes, then pretended to discuss something important with Yi Ming, and said in a low voice: "Just now In front of everyone, I tried to wake you up several times, but you turned a blind eye and misunderstood me instead, so I can only drag you here so that we brothers can talk about what is on our mind."
Seeing Han Pingzhi's extremely serious look, Zhou Yiming couldn't help but feel nervous. He recalled the previous conversation between him and Han Pingzhi in front of everyone. After analyzing it carefully, he found nothing wrong.
However, Zhou Yiming also knew in his heart that a smart person like Han Pingzhi would not make a blind move.
"Master Han, you and I have gone through the big event last night together. We are friends of life and death. If you don't give up, I will call you big brother!" Zhou Yiming said with clasped fists and hands in respect.
Han Pingzhi was extremely happy. He had been racking his brains to get closer to Zhou Ming. The reason why he proposed to host a banquet for Zhou Ming just now was for this purpose. However, before the meal was finished, the relationship between the two naturally grew. It was getting closer, which was really an unexpected surprise for Han Pingzhi.
"Oh, brother Zhou, you call me eldest brother, how dare I take it?" Even though he said this, the smile on Han Pingzhi's face had already betrayed his inner thoughts.
"Brother Han, don't be too humble. From now on, we are our own family. If brothers do something wrong, brother must teach me." Zhou Ming said sincerely.
In fact, Zhou Ming said this from the bottom of his heart, because although he has special powers and will be invincible in the world in the future, he is still very lacking in experience in official circles. This is different from Han Pingzhi. There is no comparison at all.
If you call him "big brother", you can learn Han Pingzhi's ability to be versatile in the officialdom. Yi Ming feels that calling him "big brother" is not a loss at all, or even a sure profit.
Seeing Zhou Yiming's sincere attitude, Han Pingzhi was deeply touched. He immediately said without reservation: "Don't worry, brother, as long as my surname is Han, I will teach you without reservation."
"Brother Han, what on earth did you want to wake me up just now? I can't understand it. Please tell me something." Zhou Yiming hurriedly asked.
Han Pingzhi sighed and smiled: "Brother, it's actually not a big deal. It's just that if I don't tell you how serious this matter is, you will definitely suffer if you take charge of it alone in the future."
"Brother, I would like to hear the details." Zhou Yiming asked sincerely.
Before Han Pingzhi spoke, he looked back. After the two of them walked away, all the eyes of the government officials present were focused on the two of them. But when he looked back, everyone's eyes were averted, although everyone was still there. He was curious about what the two of them were talking about, but no one dared to look at them again.
In order to prevent what he said to Zhou Ming from being leaked, Han Pingzhi took Zhou Ming to an inconspicuous corner. After making sure that no one would hear their conversation, Han Pingzhi slowly spoke:
"Brother, what do you think is the purpose of my proposal to host a banquet for you just now? What considerations are included in this move?"
Zhou Yiming was stunned for a moment, unable to find an idea to answer these two questions. He hesitated again and again, and slowly said: "If I guessed correctly, the purpose should be to thank me. As for how much this move contains, Regarding the considerations, I really can’t answer it for a while.”
