Shopkeeper Lu and the group of strong men were all disappointed when they saw Yi Ming struggling for a long time and taking out a piece of paper from his arms. They even scolded Yi Ming in their hearts, saying that this boy was not doing what he did. Harmful? If you don't have that strength, don't forcefully reason with others, just use brute force to get rid of Manager Li.
The result is good now. After working for a long time, he only came out with a piece of waste paper. Not only did this piece of paper not prove that he was a rich man, it would actually make him lose face and become a joke in others' mouths.
Seeing Zhou Yiming handing the piece of paper to him, shopkeeper Lu didn't want to accept it at first, because after just one glance at the piece of paper, he concluded that it was not a bank note. After all, as the bank boss, he had never seen it before. There are too many banknotes, but he still has some judgment.
Shopkeeper Lu knew in his heart that if he wanted to take over this banknote, he would bring trouble to himself. If this banknote was genuine, everything would be fine. All he had to do was tell the truth. What if the banknote was genuine? If it's fake, it will be difficult for him, because if he tells the truth, he will definitely anger Zhou Ming. In terms of his strength, even if all the people in the private room are added together, they are no match for him.
Under the attack of shame and anger, if he loses his mind and bloodbaths his bank, Shopkeeper Lu will be in misery. Not only will his life be lost, but the money in the bank will also be wiped out.
Even if he thought of these terrible consequences, it would be very difficult for Shopkeeper Lu to avoid such dangers in advance, because if the banknote handed over by Zhou Yiming was fake, in order to save his life, he would have to say it was genuine. Yes, the trouble will also be great.
The reason for this couldn't be simpler. Since the bank note is genuine, after the dispute is resolved, if someone insists on redeeming the bank note, what do you think you should do? If you refuse to exchange, it is like a slap in the face. If you grit your teeth and exchange it for others, it is equivalent to giving money to others in vain. If the amount is small, you will suffer a dumb loss, forget it. If the amount is too huge, he will Even if you lose all your money, you may not be able to plug this shortfall. By then, I'm afraid the entire bank will have to be involved.
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Lu almost cried. I just want to be a businessman honestly. Why is it so difficult?
Although he was extremely depressed, he had no intention of letting go of the predicament he faced.
Zhou Yiming held the banknote in his hand in front of Shopkeeper Lu for a long time. Seeing that Shopkeeper Lu had no reaction, Zhou Yiming couldn't help but remind him: "Shopkeeper Lu, don't be in a daze. Please help me take a look at this." Is this bank note real or fake?"
Manager Li is a very smart person. He also realized what Shopkeeper Lu was thinking about just now. So before Shopkeeper Lu took the banknote, he also walked over and said meaningfully: "Shopkeeper Lu, I I know that after what happened today, you have opinions about me, but I tell you, everything just happened was all a misunderstanding, and my loyalty to you can be proven by the sun and the moon."
After hearing these words, the group of strong men lying on the ground all sneered, thinking that this villain was going to cause trouble again.
Shopkeeper Lu originally planned to pick up the banknote, but after hearing Manager Li speak, his hand stopped in mid-air, and then he stared at Manager Li thoughtfully.
Manager Li continued to smile and said: "Shopkeeper Lu, even if we take a step back, the unpleasantness between us is really because I did something wrong. So I would like to ask you to bear with me here. Don't worry about small things." People have passed by, don’t be the same as me.
After all, you and I are our own people. You must not deliberately help outsiders suppress me at a critical moment just to get angry with me. That will not be good for me, and it will not be good for you.
And I want to remind you that we people in the world are not afraid of slanting shadows. As long as we do things upright, you don't have to be afraid even if you face a powerful enemy. After all, justice is in the heart. "
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Lu finally understood the meaning of Manager Li's words. He thought that this guy was afraid that I would tell lies and protect Zhou Ming when I was verifying the authenticity of the banknotes, so he said these words on purpose. Scare yourself.
Faced with such threats, Shopkeeper Lu no longer hesitated. He thought that even if I went bankrupt, I wouldn't tolerate your arrogance.
He immediately reached out and took the banknote from Zhou Ming's hand very politely, then held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
This banknote is medium in size, and the pattern and text on the banknote are similar to ordinary banknotes. The only difference between this banknote and ordinary banknotes is the color.
Ordinary banknotes, no matter how large the amount, are usually white in color, but the entire banknote of this banknote is entirely golden, and even exudes a faint luster in a dim environment.
It was precisely because of this different color that when he saw the banknote for the first time, shopkeeper Lu concluded that the banknote must be fake.
Noticing that everyone in the private room was looking at him, shopkeeper Lu started to have trouble holding the fake banknote, because he understood that as soon as he said that the banknote was fake, Zhou Yiming would definitely not Let yourself go, but if it is true, you can't bear the loss. After all, the denomination of two hundred thousand taels of silver is clearly written on the bank note, which is a huge sum of money.
When Zhou Yiming handed over the banknote to Shopkeeper Lu, he was originally confident, but later when he saw Shopkeeper Lu's troubled expression, he felt a little guilty. Logically speaking, as the boss of the bank, Shopkeeper Lu would definitely not He didn't know the goods, and he looked so embarrassed. Is there really something wrong with this bank note?
After having this idea in his mind, Zhou Yiming couldn't help but frown. He thought carefully about the process of getting the banknote and felt that there was no problem in every aspect.
In the process of thinking, he even suspected that Yang Shijun gave him a fake banknote at the beginning, but he quickly rejected this idea because he understood that Yang Shijun did not have the courage, because if this kid If he dared to do this, even if he could let him go, Han Pingzhi would not let him go.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Lu had not announced the appraisal results for a long time, Manager Li couldn't help but feel happy. He knew very well that the reason why Shopkeeper Lu did this must be because there was something wrong with the banknote itself.
Shopkeeper Lu took the banknote and looked at it repeatedly for a long time. He was always hesitating whether he should tell the truth. At this moment, he turned the banknote over, took a closer look, and then made a major discovery.
He vaguely saw a small word on the lower right corner of the back of the banknote, but because the word was too small, he couldn't see it clearly with the naked eye.
After making this important discovery, he quickly walked to the cabinet nearby, opened the cabinet, rummaged around inside, and finally took out a transparent lens.
Everyone in the private room was stunned after seeing him do this. Everyone really didn't understand what he was going to do.
The stupidest group of strong men even thought that shopkeeper Lu was under pressure and had gone insane, so they made these abnormal actions.
It's just that they are soft-spoken and timid, so they don't dare to speak out their inner thoughts. They can only pray in their hearts, hoping that shopkeeper Lu will never tear up the banknote before he goes crazy.
After Manager Li saw Shopkeeper Lu's abnormal behavior, he was a little surprised at first. Then he thought about it carefully and immediately guessed Shopkeeper Lu's purpose of doing this.
He felt that Shopkeeper Lu had already identified whether the bank note was genuine or fake, but under the pressure from both sides, he really didn't dare to tell the result, because if he did, he would definitely get burned.
In this situation, in order to protect his own safety, he had no choice but to pretend to be crazy and act stupid, hoping to get through the situation in this way.
Manager Li shook his head and thought to himself, Shopkeeper Lu, if you can come up with this method, it will be difficult for you!
Shopkeeper Lu took the lens and placed it in front of his right eye, then closed his left eye, put the banknote in front of his eyes, and looked at it carefully.
The small hidden words in the lower right corner of the back of the bank note gradually became clear with the help of the lenses.
After seeing the word clearly, Shopkeeper Lu couldn't help but read it out: "Gold."
"What gold?" Zhou Ming asked quickly.
Manager Li stared at Shopkeeper Lu with his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
After reading that word, Shopkeeper Lu's expression changed drastically, and his hand holding the bank note was shaking.
He gently put down the lens in his hand, then looked back at everyone, and said with an incredulous expression: "This bank note is real."
Hearing this, the doubts in Zhou Ming's heart disappeared. He turned his head and looked at Manager Li aggressively, as if saying to him with his eyes, what else do you have to say now?
Manager Li's eyes widened and he was dumbfounded. He originally thought that shopkeeper Lu would pretend to be crazy, but he didn't expect that in the end he chose to side with Yi Ming.
Unwilling to fail, he immediately shouted angrily: "Nonsense! The color of this bank note is wrong. Shopkeeper Lu, you are telling lies with your eyes open and insisting that it is true. Do you feel guilty?"
I know that you all hate me, so you deliberately help outsiders to harm me!
But I tell you, I will not let your conspiracy succeed! "
Originally, the group of strong men were overjoyed to see Zhou Yiming win the bet, but after hearing what Manager Li said, they couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts. Is Shopkeeper Lu really that bad? If he did such a nasty thing to punish Manager Li, it would be really unjustifiable.
Faced with such groundless accusations from Manager Li, Shopkeeper Lu didn't look angry at all. He calmly walked away from the cabinet, then turned the banknote in his hand so that the back of the banknote faced Manager Li.
"Manager Li, I know you don't want to admit defeat, but there are some things that even what you and I say don't count." Shopkeeper Lu said calmly, "Originally, I thought this bank note was fake, but when I saw this After reading the hidden words on the back of the banknote, I realized that this banknote was not only real, but also a very rare gold ticket."
