Chapter 52: The Underground Minister

Whenever night falls and the lights come on, Shi Meiying begins a busy day. Greased and powdered, dressed up carefully, and then changed into brocade clothes and jade belts, this is Shi Meiying's daily must-have outfit. The drinks are ready, the speakers are adjusted, and the door of the day begins.

Shi Meiying's bar is the most inconspicuous small shop on this neon-lit street, with no bright lights and no sexy and ambiguous waiters, and it looks out of place in this hormonal-based bar street to attract customers.

Visitors who come in search of flowers and willows or patrons who want to have a good night often don't notice that there is such a small bar, and even if they do, they will quickly leave on their own. But Shi Meiying doesn't care, although she is a person who lives at night, but Shi Meiying has her own ideas, she doesn't want her small shop to become a place for people to vent their lust, and she doesn't plan to make money from those stumbling girls.

She just wants to provide a space for people to take a break from their worries and enjoy their music. The only music in the shop is jazz and blues.

The people who sing in the store are also jazz musicians and blues singers. Although there are not as many customers as other bars, it attracts a lot of night homers who want to relax and soothe their souls, and many of them have become regular customers, so the business of the bar is quite good.

At this time, Shi Meiying was sitting at the bar, staring at a table of customers in the corner, there were three men sitting at this table, the man in the middle was wearing a blue tweed coat, dark skin, fierce eyes, looking about forty years old, sitting there and drinking vigorously.

The men on his left and right were a little younger, looking about thirty years old, both wearing black tweed coats, sitting there silently, just quietly watching the men in blue coats drink.

Shi Meiying felt that they were not like the regular customers in the store, but gave people a sense of the underworld, which made her a little scared and a little curious. Therefore, Shi Meiying's eyes drifted to this table of guests from time to time.

But she didn't interfere too much, Shi Meiying knew that since she opened the door to welcome guests, she would naturally meet all kinds of people, as long as she didn't come to make trouble, everyone would have their own troubles, so it was normal to come over and drink a few glasses of wine, listen to songs for a while, and release the bitterness in her heart.

Shi Meiying was watching the table of guests intently, when the door of the bar was pushed open from the outside, and three or four people in police uniforms walked into the bar. When Shi Meiying saw it, she greeted her. When the police officer led by Shi Meiying saw her, he said to her: "Stop the music, turn on the lights, and do a routine check!"

Shi Meiying smiled flatteringly: "Officer, what are you checking this time?"

The policeman at the head said: "Check whether there are paid escorts and see if there are any pornography and drugs." ”

Shi Meiying smiled bitterly and said: "Officer, don't be kidding, you know, I'm a small bar here, and I listen to jazz music, where do you get anything involved in pornography and drugs?"

The policeman at the head said: "No kidding, this is arranged from above, routine inspection, don't embarrass us to work, stop the music first, turn on all the lights!"

The expression on Shi Meiying's face was a little embarrassed, and she said: "Officer, you can't do anything about checking my business like this, and you don't know each other, so help!"

The policeman led by Shi Meiying looked at Shi Meiying, the woman in front of her was not unaware of herself, after all, she opened a store in her own jurisdiction, she went to go to herself to go through the relevant procedures, and every time she came to the bar to check, this woman received her.

But since it was something assigned by the leader, he didn't dare to disobey the order, so he said to Shi Meiying: "The task assigned by the leader, we are also acting on orders, Boss Shi, don't embarrass us!"

Shi Meiying looked a little aggrieved, her eyes were slightly moist, and the tears in her eyes kept rolling. She said to the police with a crying voice: "It's your Director Zhang's order, right? I don't know where I offended him, he doesn't check so many bars and KTVs here, and he keeps an eye on my small bar every day." ”

"You also know how difficult it is for me to open a shop as a woman, just to make a living, or who doesn't stay at home at night and come here? It's not that I didn't give you Director Zhang's gifts, how can he always bully me alone?"

The police showed an embarrassed expression when they heard Shi Meiying's words, in fact, everyone is an acquaintance, and he also knows that Shi Meiying has no problems here, but the things that the leader has to do can't be left out, so it's just a routine.

But Shi Meiying said the things in the unspoken rules in front of so many people, but she made it difficult for herself to do it, and she couldn't tell her that maybe her "confession" was not enough, so the leader arranged for them to check her!

Looking at the embarrassed appearance of those policemen, Shi Meiying knew that it was not easy for them, they couldn't go home to accompany their wives and children so late, and they had to work overtime here. She knew that they couldn't do these things by themselves, and the leader's orders couldn't help but listen, and it was useless to embarrass them, so Shi Meiying beckoned a waiter and said to him: "Go and turn on the lights, and the music will stop!"

The waiter stopped the music and turned on the light according to Shi Meiying's instructions, and the guests who were drinking and chatting while enjoying the music became dissatisfied and began to complain. A few grumpy shouts asked Shi Meiying what was going on? Shi Meiying could only keep apologizing to the guests, saying that it was a police patrol and asking the guests to cooperate.

As soon as the policemen were ready to check the identity documents of everyone present one by one, a wine glass was thrown from the corner, and the policeman led by him flashed, and the glass fell to the ground and shattered. Although he was not hit by the wine glass, the wine still splashed all over him.

The policeman was about to get angry, but when he saw the face of the man in the blue tweed coat who threw the cup, he immediately lost his arrogance. He walked over quickly, hunched over and apologized: "Mr. Pan, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here, I bothered you to drink, I'm sorry, we are also routine checks." ”

Pan Lun ignored the policeman's meaning at all, he motioned to the man next to him to get him another cup with his eyes, and then said to the policeman: "You are not worthy to talk to me, call your director over!"

The policeman at the head did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly called his director. After a while, a fat-headed, big-eared man trotted all the way and stumbled into the bar. He ran to Pan Lun and said to Pan Lun: "Pan is always embarrassed, I don't know that you are drinking here, your subordinates are not sensible, don't be angry, I will definitely educate them well when I go back!"

Pan Lun was still drinking by himself, and he didn't look at this director Zhang, he said: "Zhang Huocheng, let you be the director of this is to let you be a good dog, wagging your tail, not to let you bark around, don't forget your identity!"

Zhang Huocheng was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground after hearing Pan Lun's words, nodded frequently, and said: "Mr. Pan's education is right, everything is my fault, don't be angry, I must reflect on it, I don't know that she is your person, I promise never to let my subordinates come here again, you take care of it, I won't compensate you, I'm sorry for you!"

Pan Lun still ignored Zhang Huocheng, still holding a wine glass and drinking, Zhang Huocheng over there had already kowtowed like pounding garlic, his voice was pounding, and he kept saying sorry in his mouth. Pan Lun was already in a bad mood, and he was even more irritable when he made such a fuss, he frowned and yelled at Zhang Huocheng: "Get out!"

After Zhang Huocheng heard Pan Lun's words, he immediately stood up and left the bar with his subordinates.

At this time, Shi Meiying was already shocked, standing there motionless, her mind blank.

Pan Lun poured himself another glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all. Completely ignore the spectators who are looking at them silently. After drinking a glass of wine, Pan Lun frowned again, and said to Shi Meiying: "Boss, are you not doing business anymore?

Shi Meiying came back to her senses when she heard Pan Lun's shout, and hurriedly asked the waiter to turn on the music, turn on the lights, and the bar returned to its previous appearance again.

Shi Meiying walked up to Pan Lun and wanted to thank this noble man who helped him, but Pan Lun didn't appreciate it, he said to Shi Meiying: "I'm just here to drink, you can do whatever you want, don't disturb me to drink." ”

Shi Meiying touched her nose and could only leave Pan Lun's wine table and return to the bar.

After Shi Meiying returned to the bar, she looked at Pan Lun, who was still sitting there drinking by herself, and couldn't help but ask her bartender: "Who is that person? Why is he so powerful?

The bartender looked at Shi Meiying, the expression on his face was like looking at an alien, and he said to Shi Meiying: "Senior sister, you don't even know him, he's too lonely and unheard, right?

Shi Meiying is still confused, after all, she has been in Mingnan for less than half a year, and she usually doesn't pay attention to those street news, and only thinks about running her own small shop, so naturally she doesn't know about these folk gossip.

The bartender saw that her face was still full of doubts, so he said: "You always know the Pan Group, right? It is the largest private enterprise in Mingnan, and half of the people in Mingnan are working in the Pan Group and working for the Pan Group." ”

The bartender paused after speaking, and then said: "He is the eldest son of the Pan Group, the famous head of the underground organization in Mingnan. He has the final say on the promotion of officials big and small in Mingnan, and those officials who come from other places must first worship his dock before they can gain a foothold here, otherwise they will have to get out of the house after a long time. ”

"If he stomps his feet, the whole Mingnan will shake three times. Not to mention that it is a small police station director, even their director has to nod his head when he sees Pan Gongzi. ”

Shi Meiying looked at the bartender and said half-incomprehensibly: "Oh, he's so powerful? So what is he doing? A public official? Or an entrepreneur?"

When the bartender heard Shi Meiying's words, he knew that she didn't understand what he said at all, and he didn't plan to introduce Shi Meiying in detail, so he said to Shi Meiying: "Forget it, you can't understand it if you talk too much, so let's talk about it, senior sister, you are lucky today, no one will dare to cause trouble in this bar in the future, and no one will come to trouble you again." ”

Shi Meiying still stood there stupidly, she didn't understand the bartender's words at all, and she was even more skeptical of the bartender's assertions. She only vaguely felt that this Pan Lun was a great character.

It wasn't until later that Shi Meiying found that no one came to check her bar, and the flow of people in the bar had increased inexplicably, and many big bosses and big customers came to patronize, and those big leaders began to find ways to facilitate her, and when she sent benefits, she knew how much energy this Pan Lun had.

It's just that after that, Shi Meiying never saw Pan Lun come here to drink.
