One of the strong men muttered to his companions with a puzzled look on his face: "What do you mean by Manager Li talking like that? He is not afraid of death. He just needs to be strong by himself. Why does he have to involve us?"
We have suffered enough under his hands, and he wants to drive us all away! "
"I was so blind before that I thought he was a good person. Now that I think about it, I feel like a stupid pig." Another strong man continued.
After the strong men recognized Manager Li's face, they all felt deep regret for their previous behavior of working for him.
Zhou Yiming originally planned to slap Manager Li so hard that he would become paralyzed and become a cripple. But what he didn't expect was that he was about to die. Not only did Manager Li fail to admit his mistake and apologize, Instead, he still kept being arrogant and clamored to reason with himself. Isn't this a joke?
At the beginning, I kept reasoning with him and even took out the banknote in my arms. However, the boy didn't even look at it and insisted on saying that the banknote was fake, so that he was completely dissatisfied. Don't give yourself a chance to explain.
Originally, Yi Ming was not going to pay attention to him, but after carefully thinking about what this kid said just now, he had to admit that this kid was right about one thing, that is, under the emperor's feet, there must be no messing around.
Zhou Yiming is not afraid of Manager Li, he doesn't care about those strong men, because he knows that no matter how powerful these people are, they don't have the strength to cause trouble for him. The only one who makes him a little afraid is Shopkeeper Lu, who is in the business field He is well-informed, and his connections should not be underestimated. If he is really offended, and he wants to cause trouble for himself, it will not be easy to deal with.
After all, the 200,000 taels of silver note that Yi Ming carried was not obtained through formal means. If things got bigger here and shopkeeper Lu made a fuss about his bank note, he would be in big trouble. .
Even if there is no problem with the banknote itself, Zhou Yiming cannot do anything too extreme, because when he comes here, he must keep it secret. If things get out of control and alert the government, his identity cannot be concealed. .
Thinking of this, Zhou Yiming raised his hand above his head and slowly lowered it. At the same time, he showed a meaningful smile. He looked at Manager Li and said, "Be reasonable? Okay, tell me, how should you explain it?" After explaining the truth, what should I do if I take advantage of it?"
Manager Li mustered up the courage to say those harsh words to Yi Ming, and immediately closed his eyes. He was afraid of seeing the terrifying expression on Yi Ming's face, because he knew in his heart that if his move failed, , Zhou Yiming not only will not let himself go, but will attack him even more fiercely.
Just when he was frightened and didn't know how long he could live, he suddenly heard Zhou Ming say that he could be reasonable. This made him feel relieved, as if he had been given a new life.
While he was very happy, he also couldn't believe his ears, so he quickly opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Ming's face.
Seeing a smile on Zhou Ming's face, and his raised hand falling down at this time, Manager Li was convinced that the words he heard just now were definitely not groundless.
The group of strong men who were seriously injured by Yi Ming were in physical pain at this time, but their attention was entirely on Yi Ming and Manager Li. They hoped that Yi Ming would take this opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief for them and kill Manager Li. Beat this villain to death.
But the final result of the matter disappointed them. At the last moment, Zhou Yiming not only did not kill Manager Li, but even agreed to reason with him. Isn't this just superfluous and unnecessary?
They were all thinking, does this young man have no brains at all? He didn't even think about it, if he was the one who lost in the fight just now, would Manager Li be able to reason with him?
Looking at Zhou Ming's back, these strong men all sighed, and they all felt like they hated iron for not being able to become steel.
In fact, Shopkeeper Lu's refusal to rescue Manager Li just now was not as selfless as he said. He also had selfish motives. He knew in his heart that even if Manager Li lost this fight, if Zhou Ming could not get rid of him, If he falls away, it will be difficult for him to deal with this scourge if he remains.
The reason for this is very simple. Shopkeeper Lu is just a well-behaved businessman. Even if he has millions of dollars in wealth, this wealth is just a decoration. The value of this wealth cannot be directly converted into rights. Without rights, Even when dealing with a small manager Li, he would feel powerless and powerless.
It was precisely because he expected that dealing with Manager Li would be a problem for him that Shopkeeper Lu wanted to borrow a knife to kill people and asked Yi Yiming to solve this problem for him.
But what he never expected was that Zhou Yiming actually stopped at the last moment and planned to continue reasoning with Manager Li. From Shopkeeper Lu's point of view, this was simply unbelievable. He even thought to himself for a moment, Are these two people accomplices? Do they want to join forces to make me angry to death?
Although he was quite dissatisfied with Zhou Yiming's decision, shopkeeper Lu had seen the world after all, so he still stood quietly behind Manager Li, wanting to see what tricks these two people would play next.
Faced with Zhou Yiming's question, Manager Li did not answer immediately, because he knew in his heart that he only had this one chance to survive. If there was a slight flaw in the conversation, he would be regarded as a god by then. Even if you go down to earth, you can't save him.
After thinking for a moment and clarifying the thoughts in his mind, Manager Li took a deep breath and said slowly: "It's not complicated to be reasonable. Wherever we disagreed just now, that's where we can reason.
Didn’t you just say that you are a rich kid? It was precisely because we didn't believe what you said that we had a dispute.
Now that we want to be reasonable, let's start from here. If you let us believe that you are really a rich man without using force, then you will be considered reasonable.
As long as the truth is on your side, it's up to you to kill or behead on our side. "
This was what Zhou Ming wanted, but before he could express his position, all the strong men behind him quit.
They dragged their seriously injured bodies and crawled towards Yi Ming one after another. As they climbed, they said loudly: "No, our lives are our own. Others have no right to make decisions for us. Li, you have to follow If others are betting on your life, you should bet on it yourself and don’t count us in!”
Shopkeeper Lu, who was standing aside, had been in a state of watching a show. After hearing the noise of the group of strong men, he suddenly realized that the one they were referring to that Manager Li just mentioned was not the same. Including yourself?
After thinking of this, he was shocked, because he understood that if things were really what he thought, if the truth was really on Yi Ming's side, he would be buried with Manager Li, and he wouldn't be there yet It makes sense, because when Manager Li proposed this condition, he did not raise any objection.
Realizing the problem, he immediately said: "Wait a minute, before you two start to reason, I want to make it clear that no matter how you two want to bet, it is a matter between the two of you. No one in my bank will be involved."
Manager Li's eyes widened and he froze on the spot. When he was talking to Zhou Ming just now, he deliberately made his words ambiguous. He just wanted to play a trick and involve those strong men and shopkeeper Lu. In this way, even if he was talking about it for a while, When it makes sense, even if he is defeated, there is a high probability that he will survive.
After all, when more people are punished, Yi Ming will inevitably become soft-hearted. When he is soft-hearted, it is not difficult for him to use his excellent eloquence to save his life.
But what he never expected was that his seamless plan would be ruthlessly shattered by his shopkeeper and his brothers.
These people not only did not help themselves at the critical moment, but instead undermined themselves, leaving no favors for themselves.
Of course, he did not dare to accuse his shopkeeper, so he could only direct all the anger in his heart at those strong men: "You ungrateful things, when you are wandering on the streets and don't have enough to eat, who will provide you with food?" Are you looking for errands to keep you fed?
Now I just encountered a little trouble, and I just wanted you to stand with me. But in the end, you are not only turning your back on me, but also refusing to save me. Do you still count yourself as a human being if you do this? "
Faced with Manager Li's accusations, the strong men felt aggrieved, but their eloquence was limited and they still didn't know how to express their inner grievances.
Just when they were extremely anxious and didn't know how to refute, shopkeeper Lu spoke: "Xiao Li, it's wrong for you to talk like that!
You hired these people to work as gatekeepers in our bank. Is this a favor to others? Don't forget, this is a job I've assigned to you. If you recruit these people, you will get money.
And they work here as errands, and they don’t take a penny from you. All their wages are paid by me.
If they want to be grateful, they are also grateful for my kindness. It has nothing to do with your one or two silver coins. If you secretly change the concept here, you are clearly bullying them for being uneducated! "
After being exposed by Shopkeeper Lu, Manager Li's face turned red and he couldn't say a word.
Before that, although the group of strong men had quarreled with Manager Li on the surface, they were still grateful for the fact that he had found errands for them in the past. But after hearing what Shopkeeper Lu said, they suddenly Only then did Zi realize that it turned out that Manager Li was getting money for finding errands for them. This was clearly a business deal and there was no sense of friendship at all.
After understanding this, these strong men no longer had any scruples, and they all started to curse Manager Li.
