Zhou Yiming pretended to be frightened by the people in front of him. He took two steps back in panic. Then, while paying attention to the movements of the people in front of him, he panicked and searched for something in his sleeves. He searched for a long time. , let alone valuable treasures, not even a rag was taken out in the end.
Faced with such a cruel reality, Zhou Ming still refused to give up. He lowered his head, pulled his cuffs to the maximum, and then stared inside to check carefully. However, no matter how wide his eyes opened, he was never inside the cuffs. , to find what he was looking for.
He raised his head in despair, as if he collapsed instantly under the double blow of shock and disappointment.
Such a result was already expected by Manager Li and the others. Manager Li took the lead and stood at the front, with the group of strong men standing on his left and right, some holding their shoulders and some with their hands on their hips. Everyone's face was filled with pride, and they all hoped that Yi Ming would give up soon and admit his mistake quickly, so that they could justifiably beat him up.
"What's wrong? Didn't find anything valuable? It's okay, don't lose heart!" Seeing that Zhou Yiming had been forced to a dead end by himself, Manager Li couldn't help but feel so happy. That mood was like that of an agile cat. After spending a long time, he finally caught a fat mouse, but he was not eager to eat the mouse immediately because he wanted to fully enjoy the feeling of winning. He would not feel satisfied until he played the mouse to death. " You look for it slowly, we have plenty of time to play with you, but when you give up completely and tell us that you don't have anything valuable, you are wrong, we will deal with you when the time comes."
The strong men on the side also seized this opportunity and started cheering together.
"Hey, look, this kid's face turned green with fear!"
"With such little ability, if you still dare to stir up trouble on Tai Sui, isn't that asking for death?"
"This kind of person, no matter what tragic end he meets, does not deserve sympathy."
"Aren't you very arrogant? Why are you so timid now? Keep acting arrogant!"
When shopkeeper Lu saw this scene, he felt strange. He was kind-hearted and wanted to help Zhou Ming. However, when he thought of what he had done before, he gave up the idea because he knew very well. As the big boss of this bank, if he came out in advance to plead with the troublesome Yi Ming, his subordinates would definitely think that he was a soft-hearted person. By then, they would understand this weakness of his, and they would want to control it in the future. It's not that easy for them.
Shopkeeper Lu shook his head and sighed in his heart, alas! As the saying goes, you can't live without your own fault. The young man in front of you is good-looking, but why doesn't he learn well? You said you can do well in any industry you work hard for, so why do you want to take advantage of it?
Now that you have fallen into this fate, you deserve it. If my men really break your legs in a while, don't blame me.
Zhou Yiming was still immersed in his acting skills. In fact, he could have taken out the banknotes in his arms, threw them on the table, and slapped the faces of the people in front of him, but he did not intend to do so, because He felt that he was the cat that caught the mice. He felt that if he did not play with these mice fully and arouse their emotions to the peak, even if he slapped them in the face, the effect of the slap in the face would not be maximized. .
It was precisely because he wanted to reach his ulterior secret that he kept suppressing his smile and deliberately pretended to be pitiful. In this way, he wanted to make those people laugh at him as much as possible, because now they were laughing so much Rampant, they will cry so hard after a while.
Zhou Yiming glanced at Manager Li, then quickly evaded his gaze and looked directly at the ground.
He hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Manager Li, I seemed to be in a hurry to go out today, so I left a lot of things at home. Do you think you can allow me to go back and get the things?
Don't worry, I will definitely go back as soon as possible and it won't take too long. "
Obedient and obedient, Manager Li is an old man in the world. Naturally, he knew that Yi Ming wanted to take the opportunity to escape when he said these words, so he immediately put on a straight face and shouted angrily: "There is no way! You kid really thinks I am Are you a fool? You are a poor guy to begin with. Even if I ask you to go back home a hundred times, you still won't be able to come up with half a tael of silver. Aren't you just here to extort money? Now that you know money is hard to extort, I think Sayazi escaped? Let me tell you, it's not that easy!
If you have the ability today, you should come up with valuable things in front of us now, otherwise, our brothers will have nothing to do with you. "
Zhou Yiming's attempt to take the opportunity to escape confirmed to the gang of tough men that this kid was an ignorant bastard who came here just to cause trouble. There was no way he could give out a penny. .
"There are times when you can't pretend anymore and want to leave? Stop dreaming!"
"Seeing how pitiful you are, we can send a message to your family and ask them to collect your body."
The strong men threatened Zhou Ming while slowly approaching him, preparing to use violence against him.
Seeing that the time had come, Zhou Yiming first pretended to be scared, and then took advantage of the change in rhythm to walk to Shopkeeper Lu in a few steps and said in a pleading tone: "Shopkeeper Lu, you still don't care about your subordinates. The outcome of the bet between us has not yet been decided, so they are planning to cheat and kill me directly."
Faced with Yi Ming's request for help, Shopkeeper Lu had mixed feelings. On the one hand, he really wanted to help Yi Ming, but on the other hand, his reason also told him that in the current situation, he must stand up for his position. Be stable and do not make wrong judgments based on subjective feelings.
After all, if in such an angry situation, once I unprincipledly protect Zhou Ming, not only will I not be able to save him, but I will also probably offend the people under my command. Such a thankless thing, like him How can a smart person do it?
After thinking again and again, looking at Yi Ming's pitiful look, shopkeeper Lu finally stood up. He stretched out a hand and gestured to his group of people, meaning to ask them to stop temporarily, and then he replied He turned around and said to Zhou Ming sincerely: "Young man, we are both smart people, so there is no need to beat around the bush and say those superficial words.
At such a young age, you have the courage to come to our bank to cause trouble. Based on your courage, I guess you are not an ordinary person.
Originally I admired your talents and even wanted to recruit you to help me, but then I thought about it, you came here to make trouble, it is clear that you don't give me face. If I ignore the past grudges and still protect you or even take you in, things will be different. When word spreads outside, people won’t say that my prime minister’s stomach is capable of punting a boat, and that the adults have a lot. Instead, they will think that I am as timid as a mouse. Someone sat on my head and shit, and I was able to spare him. , even keeping him by his side. "
The reason why Zhou Yiming ran to Shopkeeper Lu for help just now was actually a small trick. He wanted to use Shopkeeper Lu's hand to suppress Manager Li, and then take advantage of the civil strife between them to take out his banknote. , shocked the whole audience.
But what he never expected was that shopkeeper Lu actually said something from the bottom of his heart, and judging from the meaning of his words, he seemed to admire himself very much. This suddenly caught him off guard, and even for a moment Don't know what to do next.
Manager Li knew Shopkeeper Lu's little thoughts before, so after hearing Shopkeeper Lu speak his mind, he was not too surprised. Instead, he was a little worried, fearing that Shopkeeper Lu would be soft-hearted and not abide by the agreement he had made with him.
Those strong men originally thought that Shopkeeper Lu hated Yi Ming as much as they did, but after listening to Shopkeeper Lu's heartfelt words, they were all dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that Yi Ming had caused their shopkeeper to lose so much money. , and now he can't spend money to prove that he is a rich man. He is such a shameless bastard. How can his own boss appreciate him? Isn't this blind?
"Young man, I believe that you have been struggling outside for so long, and you know how difficult it is to survive." Before Yi Ming could respond, Shopkeeper Lu continued to say earnestly, "It is not easy for me to climb to this position. I can't affect my bank's business because of your affairs, let alone ruin my reputation.
So no matter what you said just now, no matter how pitiful it is, I can't be soft-hearted and save you in this situation. After all, if I do that, it will not only chill the hearts of my subordinates, but it will also be harmful to myself. No benefit at all. "
Zhou Yiming sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that Shopkeeper Lu is indeed a person who does great things. Not only is he very decisive in doing things, but he is also upright and aboveboard. He says whatever he thinks in his heart. This kind of person is worth making friends with. If he can become prosperous in the future, he will definitely be a good person. I need to give him a lift.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Lu was not soft-hearted, Manager Li breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly winked at the strong men next to him and asked them to rush over and take down Zhou Ming quickly, and then dealt with him severely to prevent the situation from continuing to stalemate. If so, there will be more branches.
Shopkeeper Lu thought that what he just said was perfect, and everyone present must have found no fault in what he said, so after he finished speaking, he looked proud and wanted to sit down directly , continue to watch the show.
But as soon as he bent down, he was pulled back by Zhou Ming: "Shopkeeper Lu, what you just said is absolutely correct, but what I want to tell you is that I haven't done anything about this bet yet." If I lose, they are going to attack me now, are they a little too anxious?"
After one of the strong men heard this, he immediately laughed: "Damn boy, don't you blush when you say this? You don't know what kind of virtue you are. No matter how much time Manager Li gives you, you Can you spare a tael of silver from your whole body?"
