By the time the strong men realized something was wrong and wanted to stop Shopkeeper Lu, he was already far away.
Because they were afraid of offending the boys, they could only lower their voices and said behind Shopkeeper Lu:
"Shopkeeper, can you hear my voice? If you can hear me, don't go forward. The right and wrong place ahead is too late for you and me to hide. Why do you want to throw yourself into a trap? Now we are deeply affected by If you are seriously injured, it will be difficult for you to protect yourself. Once you anger those little guys, if they want to harm you, I can't even protect you."
"Come back quickly, shopkeeper, let's discuss anything if you need anything, and we guys will give you some advice."
"Don't do anything stupid, shopkeeper!"
Although they had already walked some distance, and the voices of the strong men were very low, Shopkeeper Lu was not too old, so he could still hear what they said, but he had already taken the first step. It's impossible to go back.
Shopkeeper Lu walked forward with firm steps and a smile on his face. He really didn't expect that at such a critical moment, those strong men who looked like beggars would actually care about his own safety. Worrying about his own future and destiny, this kind of friendship seems to be priceless to Shopkeeper Lu at this moment.
He secretly sighed in his heart. He really didn't expect that when he was in danger, there would be such a group of people caring about him. Their friendship was much more precious than those who approached him for money. Yes, if I can overcome this difficulty today and keep my bank, I will definitely keep them and let them continue to be the gatekeepers of my bank, because their performance deserves such a reward.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Lu ignored their obstruction, all the strong men were heartbroken. The reason for this was not entirely because they were worried about Shopkeeper Lu's safety, but because they felt in their hearts that if Shopkeeper Lu did anything wrong, Later, when Yi Ming came to settle accounts with them, there was no one left to speak for them.
The strong men frowned and slapped the ground one after another to vent their inner negative emotions. But even if they were angry again, they did not dare to do more extreme actions, because they knew that with their strength at the moment, In terms of strength, there is no way he can compete with those guys.
They all raised their heads, paying attention to the movements of the boys and observing the gate, hoping that when the two groups started fighting later, they could take the opportunity to escape.
Shopkeeper Lu originally thought that all of Zhou Ming's attention was on the gang of boys, so when he was approaching Zhou Ming, he did not warn him to prepare him, because once he did so, he was afraid that it would be harmful to him. The reaction would be to attract the attention of those guys.
But what he didn't expect was that when he was only two steps away from Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming suddenly turned around and took an offensive stance towards him.
This frightened Shopkeeper Lu. He quickly took two steps back and raised his hands to signal to Zhou Ming. He did not hold any weapons in his hands. Then, without waiting for Zhou Ming to respond, he immediately explained: "Little brother, Don't make any noise, I have a few words to say to you alone, come with me."
Although Zhou Yiming doesn't have a good impression of Shopkeeper Lu, he also knows that he is a serious businessman and is not the same as Manager Li, so he still has a minimum of respect for him.
And he also knew in his heart that even if shopkeeper Lu had bad intentions, he would not be able to harm himself.
He looked back at the gang of boys and found that they were still immersed in the emotion after the reconciliation and would not attack him for the time being. After making sure that there were no worries, he turned around and followed Shopkeeper Lu to a small corner.
This corner is between two walls, and the view outside is very good. If someone wants to attack the person in the corner, he has only one way to go from the front. This invisibly makes the people in this corner more vulnerable. A sense of security.
After Zhou Yiming came to the corner, he looked around, and then he couldn't help but admire him in his heart. He thought to himself that Shopkeeper Lu is really an old banker. Although the bank itself is his own, he still came to talk to me about things. Choosing such a safe place and the little wisdom revealed in such details can best explain whether a person's ability is high or low.
Before Zhou Yiming came to this corner, he had guessed what Shopkeeper Lu wanted to do to find him. He felt that the reason why Shopkeeper Lu was so shameless and called him here was because he was afraid that if he continued to mess around, he would destroy the business in his bank. He messed up and caused huge financial losses, so he mustered up the courage to secretly give himself a little benefit, so that he could just accept it and leave as soon as possible.
Because he had such a suspicion in his heart, Zhou Yiming felt very funny after seeing the serious look of shopkeeper Lu. He thought to himself, Mr. Lu, you really see people through the cracks in the door and look down on me. Do you think you three people? Can you get rid of me with just a few melons and dates? Let me tell you, I have a lot of money, and I will be even richer in the future. Not to mention your little money, even if you give me the entire bank, I won’t care.
Don't think that I am holding back here because I want to extort money and get some benefits. Let me tell you, you are totally wrong to think so. The reason why I am stuck here is entirely because of these people under you. They are all beasts and don't understand human affairs. If they didn't mess with me, I would have finished my work and left long ago, and I wouldn't have made Lao Han wait for me until now.
Thinking of Han Pingzhi, Zhou Yiming immediately looked sad and complained secretly. He thought that I had been delayed here for so long, and Old Han must have been anxious to death. Maybe he thought that I had encountered something bad while going to the Yamen of the General Affairs Office. Unexpectedly, he might be killed.
If this is the case, with Lao Han's temper, he must have sent people to look for him everywhere in the city. This will make things even bigger.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yiming frowned and held his head in his hands, showing a helpless look.
After Shopkeeper Lu called Zhou Yiwei over, he planned to speak immediately and ask him to help him, but when he saw his sad face, he was too scared to speak, so he could only stare at him cautiously. , hoping to ask him for help when he is in a better mood.
Zhou Yiming was immersed in his own little emotions and did not recover for a long time. When he realized that half a day had passed, he quickly opened his eyes and found that shopkeeper Lu was staring at him with a smile on his face. A look full of pleading.
Zhou Yiming coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment: "Ahem... Shopkeeper Lu, what's the matter with you asking me to come here?"
It was obvious that he was asking someone to do something, but in the end, someone else spoke first. This made shopkeeper Lu feel very embarrassed. He immediately bowed his hands and saluted, and said with a smile: "Little brother, since you asked me this, I also I will open the skylight to you and speak frankly. I am not taking the liberty to call you here this time. I just hope that you can do me a small favor at this critical moment.
Don't worry, as long as you are willing to help me, no matter whether the matter can be completed successfully or not, I will thank you deeply afterwards. "
Zhou Yiming took a step back, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Shopkeeper Lu carefully from top to bottom. Then he thought in his heart, this old boy's little idea is just like what I guessed. He really wants to spend a little money, just like sending a beggar. Same, send me away.
Although he was very dissatisfied with Shopkeeper Lu's approach, Zhou Yiming still controlled the urge to get angry and said patiently: "Oh? Really? In this case, if Shopkeeper Lu needs my help if you need anything, please let me know. Well, as long as I can do it within my ability, I will try my best to help you, but there is one thing I want to remind you, don't go too far in everything, as being arrogant will often lead to backlash."
Shopkeeper Lu was stunned. He had no idea what Zhou Yiming's words meant. But he had no time to think too much now, because he noticed that the gang of boys had gradually woken up from their emotional emotions and would soon attack Zhou Ming again. He had to seize the time and quickly put his Make your demands clear to Yi Ming, otherwise it will be too late.
"Little brother, the matter is actually very simple." Shopkeeper Lu approached Yi Ming and tried to lower his voice as much as possible. At the same time, he was always paying attention to the situation of the boys, "The boys in our bank will definitely talk to you later. There is no end. If they continue to compete with you and force you to come up with a way to handle the luggage, if you are sure of winning, when you make demands to them, can you ask them to leave the house immediately after losing? Qianzhuang, are you never allowed to come back?"
"Huh?" Zhou Yiming originally thought that shopkeeper Lu would say something insulting to him, but what he didn't expect was that this old boy wanted to betray his gang of boys at this critical moment, and he used such methods. It's so despicable.
The thoughts in Zhou Yiming's brain couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Shopkeeper Lu's words for a while. After he fully reacted, he couldn't help but question: "Shopkeeper Lu, you are not mistaken, are you? Those boys are in your bank. They are on the same side as you, and I am an outsider. At this critical moment, shouldn't you stand on their side and deal with me?"
After Shopkeeper Lu finished his words, he noticed that the eyes of the boys were gradually looking towards him. Realizing the danger, he did not directly answer Zhou Ming's words, but said meaningfully: " Little brother, what you said is a bit unrealistic. When you live in this world, whether you are standing inside or outside, it actually doesn’t matter at all. The most important thing is that you have to stand on the side of interests, because only in this way can you make people happy. Your life will be easier, you don’t have to act based on other people’s faces, and you don’t have to rely on others and live like a lost dog!”
