After listening to what Yi Ming said and seeing the expression on his face change, shopkeeper Lu knew that he had just gotten excited and said the wrong thing, which had angered Yi Ming.
Shopkeeper Lu immediately reflected in his heart, thinking that I am really old and confused. Young, energetic and capable people like Zhou Yiming are usually very proud. I shouldn't have done it just now. You shouldn't say those words that question his strength. In Zhou Ming's opinion, this is probably an insult to him. In this case, anyone will be angry.
Zhou Yiming did not fall out on the spot and turned around to scold himself. He was already very well-educated. If it were another young man, he might have raised his hand and beat himself up.
After some self-examination deep in his soul, Shopkeeper Lu felt that he must explain clearly to Zhou Ming immediately and resolve the misunderstanding between the two people. Otherwise, if Zhou Ming blamed himself for this matter, the consequences would be disastrous.
After all, I still expect him to get rid of Dashan and his gang of scourges for me. What if he suddenly changes his mind when he is angry with me, and instead of helping him get rid of those gangs, he will instead stand by them? Over there, if he deals with himself, he will have no chance of survival at all. He can only wait for death and give away all the money in the bank to others.
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Lu was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He must know that all the assets of this bank were earned with his hard work. If someone robbed this bank, it would be equivalent to killing him, because After working hard for most of his life, he has never done anything to be proud of. Only this bank is his spiritual sustenance.
And he knows one thing more clearly in his heart, that is, everything he has now, whether it is status, the respect of his subordinates, and the love of his family, are all based on money. If one day he suddenly If he becomes a pauper and can't get a penny out of his pocket, everything he owns will disappear in an instant. Even his closest family members may resent him because he screwed up the business. They may very well resent him. Because he couldn't survive the hard days, he finally left him, leaving him to starve, freeze, and suffer in the hard days.
Although these tragic scenes only flashed through Shopkeeper Lu's mind, they were enough to shock him greatly.
After thinking about this, Shopkeeper Lu immediately realized that time was running out and he could no longer think too much. He had to adjust his emotions immediately and explain it to Zhou Ming.
But when he raised his head and looked at Zhou Ming, he found that he had already walked away from him.
Shopkeeper Lu knew that Zhou Yiming was really angry this time. He was so frightened that he hurried after him, stood next to Zhou Ming, and smiled awkwardly: "Little brother, don't think too much about it. I was so excited just now." , I may have said a bit too much, and it is inevitable that there will be a few words that I didn’t listen to, so don’t take it to heart.”
Zhou Yiming still maintained an indifferent attitude. He looked forward, staring at Dashan and the others. From the beginning to the end, he did not respond to Shopkeeper Lu's words or even look at him.
Seeing Zhou Yiming's look like this, Shopkeeper Lu regretted it so much that he almost slapped himself. He secretly muttered in his heart, why am I so stupid? Why am I still playing tricks on others when they are so angry that they don't want to pay attention to me? Doesn't this mean you don't want to admit your mistakes?
Realizing that there was something wrong with his attitude of admitting his mistake, shopkeeper Lu immediately corrected himself. He turned around and faced Zhou Yiming, and then said with a look of shame: "Little brother, don't be angry. I just asked you about the duel." , I definitely don’t mean to have no confidence in you, I just want to know in advance what method you plan to use to deal with that mountain.
If my expression has caused you to misunderstand and have negative emotions in your heart, I am here to say sorry to you and hope you can forgive me. I promise that I will be more careful when speaking in front of you in the future. , never make such a mistake again. "
After what happened just now, Zhou Yiming had no intention of talking to Shopkeeper Lu again, because he felt that this person was really disrespectful, so he agreed to deal with Dashan and his gang for him without taking any advantage from him. Disaster, as a result, this old boy not only has no gratitude to himself, but dares to underestimate himself, thinking that he may lose to the mountain. This idea is a huge insult to him.
An angry Zhou Ming began to consider whether to take back his promise and stop meddling in Shopkeeper Lu's business.
Just before he could make up his mind, he suddenly noticed Shopkeeper Lu quietly walking towards him from behind. Zhou Yiming knew in his heart that after seeing his attitude just now, Shopkeeper Lu must have realized that something was wrong and ran over. Explained to myself.
Zhou Yiming knew this kind of businessmen very well. He knew that people like them had a strong ability to observe people's emotions. After this old boy realized that he was angry, he came here with only one purpose, and that was to do everything possible to reconcile with himself. As before, after all, from his standpoint, he still has value in being used by him.
Realizing that he might be the one being exploited, Zhou Yiming became even more angry. He thought to himself that good people are being bullied, and good people are being ridiculed. I just saw how pitiful this guy surnamed Lu was, so he planned to help. He gave it a try, but he didn't expect that kindness would bring harm, and instead of reaping the benefits, it made him angry.
Just when Yi Ming was furious, shopkeeper Lu used a perfunctory attitude to explain to Yi Ming for the first time. During the explanation process, he neither admitted his mistake nor expressed apology. He just said that it was a misunderstanding. , told Zhou Yiming not to think too much.
Before Shopkeeper Lu opened his mouth, Zhou Yiming had already expected that businessmen like Shopkeeper Lu would never bow to others easily even if they made mistakes. They would always find various reasons to put their own mistakes aside. Mistakes, blame it on others, and then pretend to be magnanimous and persuade others not to be narrow-minded.
Zhou Yiming is a straight-tempered person and hates this kind of roundabout behavior.
In the end, it turned out that Zhou Yiming's guess was correct. As soon as shopkeeper Lu opened his mouth, he started playing Tai Chi with himself. If someone with a slightly stupider brain was likely to be fooled by his words, he would forgive him instantly, and even On the other hand, I felt that the reason why I was angry just now was because I was too small-minded.
But obviously Zhou Ming is not such a fool. After listening to Shopkeeper Lu's words, instead of being deceived, he became furious. If it weren't for the current enemy and the presence of Dashan and his gang, he would definitely get angry immediately and kill him. Shopkeeper Lu would scold him, and maybe even slap him in the face to let him know the consequences of playing tricks in front of him.
However, this impulsive thought only existed in Zhou Ming's mind for a moment. He quickly suppressed this thought because he knew that if he really took action against Shopkeeper Lu, he could get rid of the bad breath in his heart. Yes, but the risk is also very high. After all, this old boy is still the manager of this bank in name. If he doesn't have trouble with him, all the forces under him will be in a state of division. But once he Being rude to him and forcing him into danger will cause trouble.
When the time comes, those people under him who have their own ulterior motives will most likely take the opportunity to use the name of Shopkeeper Lu to unite all the people under him and deal with him together. In this way, the situation facing Yi Ming will be as great as Completely passive.
Although the group of people under Shopkeeper Lu, whether they are young boys or the group of strong men, they have offended Shopkeeper Lu to some extent before, Shopkeeper Lu himself does not have a close relationship with them, and even they They are still suspicious of each other and are ready to put each other to death at any time.
On the surface, these people are in a situation of mutual hatred, and they even fight each other to the death. However, once a powerful enemy appears in front of them, the hatred between them will instantly collapse. Then immediately unite to attack the common enemy.
After thinking of these possibilities, Zhou Yiming gave up his plan to retaliate against Shopkeeper Lu, because he felt that if he cared too much about these small things, he might end up losing more than he gained.
He had just decided to let Shopkeeper Lu go, but before he could express his plans, Shopkeeper Lu made a new statement.
When he saw that Zhou Ming was not satisfied with his words, the old boy was completely frightened, so he immediately put his dignity on the ground, apologized to Zhou Ming sincerely, and admitted his mistake.
This move was really beyond Zhou Ming's expectation. He really didn't expect that a high-ranking official like Shopkeeper Lu would put himself in such a humble position in order to obtain his own forgiveness.
Zhou Yiming knew very well the principle of being merciful and merciful to others. Since they had done this and given themselves enough face, there was really no need for him to continue to make things difficult for them.
Although he decided in his heart that he would no longer make things difficult for Shopkeeper Lu, he still had to maintain his dignity on the surface.
After listening to what Shopkeeper Lu said, Zhou Yiming cleared his throat, kept looking forward, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Shopkeeper Lu, I can't stand others not believing in my strength in my life. Although what you just said What you said is not too much, but it has touched my inner self. I originally planned to stop meddling in your business, but now that you have realized your mistake and sincerely apologized, then I will forgive you. This time.
But I want to warn you, if something like this happens again, don’t blame me for being ruthless.
One more thing, that is, don’t ask about my plans again. Many clever ideas will not work once I say them. If my plans are disrupted because of your curiosity, can you bear the responsibility? "
When he saw Zhou Yiming still looking cold and frosty, Shopkeeper Lu thought that he had not forgiven him for his sincere apology. Just when he was about to admit his mistake for the third time, Zhou Yiming suddenly spoke.
Although he still doesn't know what Yi Ming is going to say, shopkeeper Lu is already very happy, because after many years of experience in the business world, he knows one thing very well: if he offends someone and he always holds a grudge against him, he will definitely not He will talk to himself, even if he is enthusiastic about him, he will refuse to communicate with him.
But once the person who is angry with him starts talking to him, no matter how things develop later, this is already a good start. As long as he seizes the opportunity and treats others with a sincere attitude, even if the other person is a The iceberg will always melt one day.
Shopkeeper Lu lowered his head and listened carefully to Zhou Ming's lesson. During this period, he never dared to say a word.
After Zhou Yiming finished speaking, he dared to raise his head and express his position: "Little brother, I understand, don't worry, I will never cause you any more trouble before you finish handling the matter in front of you. "
Zhou Yiming was very satisfied with Shopkeeper Lu's attitude of giving in. He nodded and waved back, meaning to ask Shopkeeper Lu to quickly hide behind him, otherwise it would be difficult for him to ensure his safety if he encountered any danger soon. .
Shopkeeper Lu nodded and quickly retreated to the back, not daring to say another word.
After sending shopkeeper Lu away, Zhou Yiming sneered in his heart, thinking that these dignitaries are just cheap and need to be dealt with. If you treat him well, he will slap you in the face and ignore you at all. inside.
To deal with such a bitch, you have to hold a whip in your hand and whip him from time to time to make him fear you all the time. Under the control of this fear, he will only look up to you and not dare to have any respect for you. disrespectful.
After sighing in his heart for a while, Zhou Ming raised his head and turned his attention to Dashan and the others. He hoped that Dashan could quickly deal with his internal problems so that he could have an honest showdown with him as soon as possible, because he came to this house It took too long to go to the bank. If he delayed any longer and did not go to the General Affairs Office to report, Han Ping would probably post a notice in his desperation to search for him throughout Huijing City. In that case, it would be a lot of fun. .
That bunch of good-for-nothing strong men, after hiding in the private room and putting up the door, they suddenly found a long-lost sense of security. In this safe situation, every one of them was overjoyed. , as if I have found the paradise on earth.
They didn't have to worry about their lives, so they focused all their attention on the guys. They all believed that as soon as these guys returned to the base camp, they would definitely tear the mountain into pieces.
Once the leader of the villain, Dashan, dies, this group of young guys will instantly collapse, because the strong men all understand that among these young guys, there will never be a second person with as much appeal as Dashan, and the group will be leaderless. Even if they are unwilling to fail and have no one to direct them, it will be difficult for them to become successful again. In the end, they will only be defeated one by one under the joint efforts of the young junior and Shopkeeper Lu, and handed over to the government for processing. In this way, what is happening in front of them This crisis can be perfectly solved.
As for whether they, the accomplices of Manager Li, would be punished by the young disciple afterwards, and whether they would be forgiven by Shopkeeper Lu, they were not worried at all, because they were confident in the heroic actions they had just made. , knowing that Shopkeeper Lu and the young junior would let them off for this kind of behavior. The kind-hearted Shopkeeper Lu might even reward them heavily for their actions.
If things can really develop as they imagined, then although they have been seriously injured today, if they can keep their jobs and get rewards on this basis, their efforts will be considered worthwhile.
Although their backer, Manager Li, fell, they had a direct relationship with Shopkeeper Lu by chance. As long as they performed well in front of him, who can be sure that they would not have a chance to catch up with this more powerful backstage? ?
While these strong men were shamelessly dreaming, Dashan shattered their dreams with his actual actions. Not only did the young guys not use force on Dashan, but they knelt down directly under his deception. Begging for mercy and admitting defeat.
Seeing this scene, the heads of the strong men became big, thinking that these guys are too cowardly, right? You said that since you didn't dare to attack the mountain, why did you act so menacing just now? You guys really don’t take it seriously!
After the strong men laughed at the young guys in their hearts, they suddenly woke up and felt that it was too unrealistic to rely on those young guys to solve the crisis at hand. They wanted to save their lives and get The only one who can hope for salvation is that young man,
After realizing this, everyone was frustrated and turned their attention to Zhou Ming.
I saw that this young junior didn't care at all about what was happening in front of him. He still stood upright on the spot and calmly looked at everything that happened in front of him. His extraordinary attitude was as if the things in front of him had nothing to do with him. Same.
Strong men understand in their hearts that to reach a state like Zhou Ming's, they need strong strength as support, and even more courage as backing, and this courage is what they lack the most.
After admiring Zhou Yiming's dashing look, the strong men looked back at themselves. They were immediately disgusted by their wretched and timid look. Each of them murmured in their hearts, that young man had such a With such bravery, it is simply a shame that those of us who have lived for decades cannot compare to him.
If those of us want to have a good relationship with him and rely on his strength to get out of danger, we must not sink into it. We must learn from him. Even if we cannot reach his level in terms of strength, at least in terms of courage, we cannot follow him. He is too different, otherwise, even if we can tolerate our disgusting appearance, we will be deeply despised by him.
