Seeing Zhou Yiming rejecting the first verification method, Manager Li couldn't help but reveal a proud smile on his face. He secretly muttered, "Fortunately, I chose to fight to the end at the critical moment, otherwise I would be frightened by this brat." If you do, it will be a big shame.
Shopkeeper Lu sat on the chair and couldn't help but feel a little worried for Zhou Ming, because he knew very well that the current situation was getting more and more unfavorable to Zhou Ming. If this young junior turned out to be a pauper in the end, his group of people would , will never let him go.
At that time, even if he stepped forward to speak for him, it would be difficult for his subordinates to listen to him when they were angry.
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Lu couldn't help but shook his head. He really didn't understand why an outstanding talent like Zhou Yiming would choose such a shameful career as extortion. With his ability, he can make a living no matter which industry he chooses to work in, and if he is lucky, he can become an elite in the industry.
With these thoughts in his mind, shopkeeper Lu couldn't help but feel sad for Zhou Ming's misfortune and angry at him. He was even planning in his heart that if Zhou Ming exposed his true face, he would be killed by Manager Li and his gang. If the Han Dynasty seizes him and sends him to the Yamen, he must find a way to secretly keep him through connections and contacts, and then place him in a friend's shop first, and then put him in a friend's shop when he is needed in the future. Take it and use it for yourself.
With this plan in mind, Shopkeeper Lu suddenly felt calm. He raised his head and looked at Zhou Yiming and Manager Li, hoping that the duel between the two of them would end quickly. In that case, he would still be able to do anything for the rest of the day. If we can take on a few more orders, the bank will not suffer too serious business losses due to today's accident.
"Okay, since this little brother is not interested in the first method, let me tell you about the second verification method." Manager Li looked at Zhou Ming with a proud look on his face and said seriously, " Little brother, before I talk about this method, let me say something ugly first. The second method is more cruel and not very respectful to the guests. Some people with small minds even think that this verification method is harmful to people. an insult.
Before I tell you this method, you'd better be mentally prepared. Otherwise, if you can't stand it and become insane after I explain it clearly, we won't be able to bear this responsibility.
Once the matter gets out, people outside will not know the truth, and they will think that we are bullying you and torturing you crazy because of our large number of people. "
As soon as Manager Li finished speaking, the group of strong men burst into laughter, and then they all spoke in agreement:
"Yes, we must let this kid know how terrible this method is, otherwise if he is angry to death, we won't be able to bear it if his family troubles us."
"This kid is quite thick-skinned. If it were me, I would have been unable to pretend anymore if he had talked like this."
"There is no way. Some people are so shameless that they won't shed tears when they see the coffin."
Faced with the ridicule of this group of people, Zhou Yiming remained unmoved at all. He knew in his heart that these people wanted to use psychological warfare to defeat him, but their ideas were too naive. The night before yesterday, Yi Ming fought with Beiguo with real swords and guns. The thieves were never afraid when they were working hard, so how could they be afraid of these talkative losers now?
Zhou Ming hugged his shoulders and kept a smile on his face. His aura gave people a feeling of looking back at death.
"Don't worry, everyone, life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven. If I am really unlucky and would be scared to death by a few words, I will never blame others, let alone let my family make trouble for others, so Manager Li, if you have anything to say, just say it. As long as you are not scared to death, I will have no problem." Zhou Ming stared at Manager Li and said coolly.
Shopkeeper Lu's eyes lit up with Zhou Yiming's free and easy energy. He couldn't help but wonder, how could such a calm, confident and unrestrained temperament appear in a young man of about twenty years old? Does this kid really have any background?
Although he was very curious about Zhou Ming's identity, shopkeeper Lu did not get up and interrupt the duel between Manager Li and Zhou Ming, because he knew very well that it was not the time for him to intervene at this time, because the two sides had not yet separated. Regardless of the outcome, even if he helps one of the parties, the person being helped will not be grateful to him.
Because many things can only achieve twice the result with half the effort if they are done properly.
The reason why Shopkeeper Lu can make such a big business is largely due to his calm character.
It was precisely because of the above considerations that although there was an undercurrent surging in his heart, he still sat in his chair, wanting to see what kind of means Zhou Ming, who was already at a disadvantage in the situation, could use to turn the tide in times of crisis. , to reverse the defeat.
Before Yi Ming made a clear statement, the strong men were a little worried. They were afraid that Yi Ming would see the situation becoming more and more unfavorable to them, run away from the battle, and choose to be a coward.
If this is the case, he is likely to leave the bank unscathed, because shopkeeper Lu is usually a kind-hearted person, and as long as the people who come to cause trouble don't do things to the extreme, he will generally not be on the same level as them.
If Zhou Yiming sees that the situation is bad and immediately admits his mistake and kneels in front of Shopkeeper Lu to beg for mercy, Shopkeeper Lu will not only not make things difficult for him, but will even give him some small money when he leaves. He used it to make a living.
This group of strong men had been played very miserably by Zhou Ming just now, so they could not accept Zhou Ming leaving unscathed at all.
After hearing Zhou Ming's reply, their worries disappeared instantly. They were gearing up one by one, preparing to beat Zhou Ming severely to quell their hatred after his identity was exposed.
Manager Li's thoughts were similar to those of those strong men. The reason why he kindly told Zhou Yiming just now about the cruelty of the verification method was because he wanted to use this method to pretend to be a good person in front of Shopkeeper Lu. These words came out of his mouth After that, he was actually more afraid than anyone else that Yi Ming would give up because in that case, it would be too advantageous for him.
After Zhou Yiming said coolly that he would fight to the end, Manager Li was overjoyed. He was afraid that Shopkeeper Lu would be soft-hearted and get in trouble, so before Shopkeeper Lu could express his stance, he immediately looked at Zhou Yiming and said, "This is what you said. .
There is a road to heaven but you don’t take it, and there is no door to hell but you rush in. Since you don't know whether to live or die, don't blame us for being ruthless. "
When the strong men behind the door saw this scene, they all looked eager to give it a try, because they knew that with Manager Li's eloquence, as long as he told the second verification method, the troublesome young man in front of him would definitely do it. Immediately speechless, the final winner of this dispute must belong to them.
During the time when Zhou Yiming went to the Yamen as an official, he had experienced too many storms and waves, so he didn't pay attention to this small scene in front of him at all. Therefore, when faced with the aggressive provocations from the people in the private room, he felt no emotion at all. , I even feel that these people are so naive that they have already begun to feel complacent before the outcome of this dispute has been decided. Don't they think they will lose?
Li Guan believed that he was already a sure winner in this dispute, so when he described the second method of verifying identity, he felt very relaxed. He even paced back and forth in the private room with his hands behind his back during the description. : "Brother, actually this second verification method is not complicated either.
To put it bluntly, as long as you take out a valuable thing from your body at this moment, if the value of this thing exceeds ten thousand taels of silver, it will automatically prove that you are a child of a rich family.
When the time comes, those of us who have offended you just now will immediately kneel on the ground, kowtow to you and beg for mercy. If you want to beat or scold us, we will accept it. "
After listening to what Manager Li said, Shopkeeper Lu was shocked because in the process of explaining it just now, Manager Li changed the second verification method without authorization. Originally, this method only required the customer to bring out a piece worth five thousand taels. Silver can easily prove his identity, but out of selfish motives, Manager Li doubled the value standard without consulting him. The value standard of five thousand taels suddenly became one Wanliang, the gap between the two is simply too big.
Even if Zhou Yiming was a playboy from a wealthy businessman, it would be impossible for him to go out with something worth ten thousand taels of silver.
Shopkeeper Lu knew that no matter how much resentment these people under him had against Zhou Ming, Manager Li's immoral behavior could never be tolerated, because as long as this was the first step, they would become more and more bold in the future. The things they do will become more and more outrageous, to the point where they may not even take themselves seriously in the future.
Shopkeeper Lu stood up, walked to Manager Li with a serious face, pulled him to a corner, lowered his voice, and said in his ear: "Manager Li, the amount standard for the second verification method is obviously five Thousand taels of gold, why did you just say it was ten thousand taels of gold? Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for other people's children?
In today's wealthy families, no matter how rich they are, they cannot let their nephews take such valuable treasures to the streets. You know this better than I do!
I just left this matter to you with confidence because of my trust in you. When you handle this matter, you must not bring personal emotions, otherwise I will be very disappointed in you. "
Manager Li just secretly doubled the amount of the verification standard just in case. He wanted to use this method of increasing the difficulty to completely block Zhou Ming's hope of winning.
Because he knows better than anyone else that the wealthy families in Huijing City who can easily take out ten thousand taels of silver have very strict upbringings. They do not allow their children and grandchildren to show off on the streets with huge sums of money. After all, this kind of This approach is very embarrassing to them and may bring them trouble.
