Seeing that his persuasion just now had no effect on his companions, Dashan was really anxious. He pushed the companions angrily, then frowned and shouted at them: "Are you crazy? One by one. Whether it's life or death, do you come to this world alone and have no family to worry about?
What you just said is just a mouthful. If you take it as a real thing and do it, it would be really unscrupulous.
And what's the difference between what you do and that of my customer?
You are more ruthless than him!
If you think about it carefully, who of you doesn't have a family to support? You just want to be happy and lose your life. You don't have to worry about anything. But what about your family members? Do they have to starve to death? "
The boys were stunned by these words. They remained silent and all fell into thinking. After thinking for a moment, they immediately understood Dashan's good intentions.
Because the extreme words they just said were all said in a hot-headed state, so that when they spoke, they did not take into account the situation at home at all. Now being reminded by Dashan Yi, they thought of the old, weak, sick and disabled at home. situation, everyone calmed down all of a sudden.
Zhou Yiming, who was standing behind Dashan, nodded silently when he saw this scene. He finally felt a little more relaxed because he knew that the reason why these people were so excited just now was entirely due to the group effect. The crowd was gathering. Under such circumstances, once the emotions resonate, they will amplify each other's courage, so that they will eventually become lawless, and even do some unreasonable things under extreme circumstances.
But in fact, this group effect is not that terrible. As long as you pour cold water on them at the right time, this emotion will be instantly cooled down, so that the people in the group can quickly regain their senses.
Zhou Yiming turned his head, glanced at Shopkeeper Lu, and then smiled. The meaning was obvious. He wanted to tell Shopkeeper Lu that he didn't have to worry anymore. The crisis had been resolved.
Shopkeeper Lu nodded gratefully, with admiration and flattery in his eyes.
At first sight, Zhou Yiming was not used to this kind of look. He even muttered in his heart, what happened to Shopkeeper Lu? Judging from his words and deeds just now, he should be a very courageous person. How could he become so virtuous after being frightened by these young guys? Did he think that if he didn't please me, I would stand by and let these guys beat him to death?
It seems that there is no good person in this bank. The janitor looks down on others. Even the shopkeeper is so scheming. After I exchange this two hundred thousand taels of silver note, I will never patronize your bank again. .
Zhou Yiming ignored Shopkeeper Lu's flattery and flattery. He turned his head coldly and continued to pay attention to every move of the boys in front of him.
Shopkeeper Lu originally wanted to win the favor of Zhou Ming through this kind of flattering behavior, but he really didn't expect that this young junior had such a strong personality. Not only was he indifferent to his flattery, but he also obviously felt disgusted with him. Affection.
While shopkeeper Lu was embarrassed, he was also quite happy in his heart. He thought that masters who were not easily paralyzed by flattery and flattery were usually wise masters. If he was really lucky enough to follow such a capable and wise master in the future, he would That is really your own creation.
The group of strong men lying behind Shopkeeper Lu relaxed when they saw that the crisis in front of them had eased. However, their relaxed mood did not last long because something soon made them more worried. stand up.
This matter is their way out. Their former boss, Manager Li, has completely lost power and become useless in today's conflict. If they want to rely on him to make a living, it is already impossible, so they You must find a way out for yourself immediately before today's matter is resolved, otherwise no one will care about their life and death after everything is settled.
However, before solving this problem, there is still another problem that is bothering them, that is, their life and death. After all, their previous offense against Yi Ming has not been finally resolved. After a while, whether Yi Ming will kill or chop them, they are worried Not counting yet.
But judging from the way Yi Ming dealt with Manager Li just now, they all felt that their lives were not in danger. After all, the person who offended Yi Ming the most was Manager Li. Yi Ming didn't kill him, so naturally he wouldn't do anything to them. Those who follow orders will be killed.
They were naturally happy to be able to save a life, but what followed was the problem of livelihood. They had been seriously injured today. It is still unknown whether they can return to normal in the future, so until there is no clear answer to this question , they must hold on to the job they are doing now and must not lose their jobs. Otherwise, even if they can save their lives, they may starve to death if they cannot make money for a long time. After all, poor people like them have a poor family. Those who do not have overnight wealth, and all the wages they receive each month are exchanged for firewood, rice, oil and salt, and have already entered the Five Zang Temple.
After thinking about these future difficulties, this group of strong men got together and discussed. In the end, they all agreed that there was only one way out before them, and that was to immediately curry favor with Shopkeeper Lu and use a very short time to Establishing friendship with him means that, considering how pitiful they are, he won't be able to kick them out immediately. He will take care of them for at least two or three months, and then let them go after their injuries recover.
After reaching this consensus, they hurriedly gathered around Shopkeeper Lu. At this moment, they saw Zhou Yiming's cold eyes towards Shopkeeper Lu.
They thought this was a good opportunity to please, so they immediately spoke:
"It's so outrageous. No matter how capable this young man is, he can't be so arrogant!"
"Who says it's not the case? Our shopkeeper Lu is also a well-known figure in Huijing City. But the way he looked at our shopkeeper Lu was like seeing the god of plague."
"Shop Manager Lu, don't tell me you can't swallow this breath, even our subordinates can't swallow it."
"Shopkeeper, you just need to say a word, and after we recover from our injuries, we will vent this bad breath for you."
These strong men thought that after flattering Shopkeeper Lu like this, they would definitely gain his favor. But what they didn't expect was that what they waited for in the end was a blank stare and a scolding.
"Shut your stinky mouth! Haven't you done enough good things? If it weren't for your blindness, so many things wouldn't have happened to my bank today. Let me tell you, I haven't settled your accounts with you yet. You are the last It’s better not to offend me by talking nonsense and I will prevent you from seeing the sun tomorrow!”
After being scolded, these strong men all became obedient. They lay down on the ground and retreated behind Boss Lu's chair, not daring to say another word.
While they complained to each other, they all felt that their hope of staying in this bank was getting slimmer.
When they thought that they might starve to death on the streets in the future, many of the strong men shed tears on the spot. They cried not because they were afraid of death, but because they were afraid that after they died, no one would take care of their family.
Seeing that with his own efforts, the emotions of his companions were under control, Dashan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he did not dare to slack off at all, and still persuaded his companions earnestly: "Let's go out to do cool work. In order for the family to have enough to eat, if we risk our lives and fight against others because of a little bit of stinginess when we are on duty, then how many lives we have will not be enough to fight for!
And having said that, we have no money, no power, and only a handful of strength. With such conditions, how can we compete with others?
Although my ambition has been blunted by the world, one thing I still think clearly is that our hard work will be rewarded in the future, either to our children or to our nephews. Anyway, it will not be in vain. . "
Dashan's words cheered up the discouraged guys again. Everyone spoke one after another and said that Dashan's words made sense. Then someone took the lead to express his position to Dashan: "Brother Dashan, you Don’t worry, I have listened to your words. No matter what happens in the future, we will not act out of emotion and will definitely put our family first."
With this person taking the lead, others also stood up and spoke their minds to Dashan.
"Da Shan, you can do it. You understand what you say and you have a good mouth."
"If you hadn't woken me up today, I might have done something stupid in the future."
"No one has ever had some bad things happen in his life. If he encounters these bad things, he will live and die, which is quite demoralizing. Dashan, you are right, I want to learn from you in the future!"
After listening to everyone's statements, Dashan finally relaxed completely. He took a deep breath, then patted everyone on the shoulders and said weakly: "After listening to what you said, I feel at ease."
When Dashan lowered his head to wipe his sweat, he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder. When he looked back, it turned out that it was Zhou Ming who came over quietly at some time, and then put a hand on his shoulder. on his shoulders.
"Strong man..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Yiming said with a smile: "Good brother, I'm sorry for you!"
The guys on the side all looked at Zhou Ming blankly, not knowing what he meant by what he said.
Only Dashan burst into tears after hearing these words, because he suddenly discovered that the person who understood his pains best was not his group of brothers who got along day and night, but the young junior in front of him who had nothing to do with him.
