Chapter 63: Barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes

It's half of the afternoon and there is no one in the hall, I asked Manager Zhang in the lobby how many tables of guests have not left, Manager Zhang said that there are still two tables in the box, I asked the staff to eat, then two men in their twenties came in, one is medium to tall, one is slightly shorter but very strong.

At this time, few people had come to eat, and I looked at them attentively, and it was still very hot, and both of them were still wearing their coats, and both of them had their hands in their jacket pockets all the time, and they sat down at the table by the door, and their hands were not taken out of their pockets, and the waiter went over and poured tea, and they only took the cup in one hand, and the other was still in their pockets.

The waiter asked them what they were eating, and they said wait, they had to wait for someone, and the waiter poured the water and left them to eat.

I sat at the cash register and watched these two people very carefully, and saw these two people sitting there, looking into the aisle in the direction of the box on the right side of the hall from time to time, and not looking outside the door, I thought that these two people should be waiting for the people in the box and not the people who were coming from outside.

At this time, Manager Liu came over and said that he had seen these two people outside the hall door for a long time, and I nodded.

After eating, the staff began to clean up the table, and then a lean man about forty years old came out of the box, with a bag under his arm to the cashier to pay the bill, he opened the bag and there was a thick stack of 100 yuan bills, he was taking out the money to prepare to pay the bill, two people sitting at the table at the door stood up and walked towards the cashier, and the man who was about to pay the bill saw the two people who came and immediately stuffed the money into the bag again.

The three of them stood in front of the cash register, and the lean man looked at us and said to the two people who came over, "I have a few guests to entertain today, and I will talk about your affairs in a few days."

The taller man among the two people who came over said in an accent from Shaanxi and Gansu: "No, this matter must be said today, if you don't pay your salary, we don't want to leave."

Seeing that he could not get out, the lean man turned and walked to a table near the cash register and sat down, and the other two men followed him to the table and sat down.

I stood in front of the cash register, listening to the three of you and I said for a long time, knowing that the lean man's surname was Xia, he was a transportation boss, and the two people who had been waiting for him were surnamed Zhang to drive a transport car for him, because there was something wrong with the car they drove, and it took a lot of money to repair it, and the boss surnamed Xia deducted the salary of 10,000 yuan for two people and did not settle it, and the two drivers thought that the cause of the damage to the car was not in them, and the insurance company paid for it, and the boss should not deduct their wages, and Boss Xia said that the car was driven by them, and they were also responsible for the accident, and it cost a lot of money to repair the car this time, and the car was parked for so long His loss was very large, and he had no money to give them now.

I heard it, I felt that this boss surnamed Xia was a little unidealistic, I saw the short man with his hands in his pockets, staring at Boss Xia fiercely and saying: "Boss Xia, don't bully us as outsiders, you have to give money today, and you have to give it if you don't give it."

Boss Xia stretched out his head and pouted, "What do you want to do?" Threaten me? I don't want to eat your set, you can figure out that this is Northwest City, not your Shaanxi."

I saw that the short man had a fierce light in his eyes and wanted to stand up, so I hurriedly walked over and stood one step away from Boss Xia and said, "You have something to say, don't quarrel here, this public place, don't affect our business"

。

Then he said to Manager Zhang: "Go and pour them a glass of water"

The waiter Xiao Meng poured water for the three of them, and I called the cashier Xiao Guo to come over and say, "You go and get Boss Xia's bill."

。

Xiao Guo took the bill puzzled, I put the bill in front of Boss Xia and said, "1268 yuan, Boss Xia paid the bill."

。

Boss Xia stared at me and said, "I'll pay later."

。

"No, pay now, I know you have money in your bag"

I insisted.

Boss Xia stood up and wanted to have a seizure, I looked at him and said without concessions: "Boss Xia, the box is full of your guests, if you are noisy here and don't want to pay the bill, your guests know, I don't think your face looks good."

Boss Xia counted thirteen hundred-yuan bills with a black face and threw them to Xiao Guo.

The two people who asked for wages stood up and stared at the thick banknotes in Boss Xia's bag.

I said: "Boss Xia, you don't have no money, why bother to let these people who work for you chase after you for this 8,000 yuan and lose your identity, so that your friends and guests think that you either have no money but pretend to be generous, or you are rich but have a bad conscience, no matter what, it is not worthy of your identity, those who have no face have to donate money to put on a faΓ§ade, you lose face for these small money, you lose face for these little money, don't you say?" Besides, you may not win if your labor dispute is sued by the arbitration department, and you know very well that all departments are now cleaning up and investigating the arrears of wages for migrant workers.

。

Boss Xia's face was blue and red and glared at me for a while, at this time, more than 20 employees in the store also looked at him intently, he tilted his head and stared at me for a long time, opened his handbag and counted out 10,000 yuan from it and fell in front of the two people who asked for accounts, and said viciously: "Get out, don't let me see you again"

。

The shorter man rushed forward, glared at Boss Xia like fire in his eyes and said, "What are you talking about!" Who are you going to let go?"

As he spoke, the hand that had been in his pocket was going to be stretched out.

The taller man grabbed him and said, "Okay, don't make trouble here, the owner of this shop is good, don't make trouble here and affect people's business."

。

At this time, Manager Liu and Manager Zhang pulled Boss Xia with a very good look and said, "Don't quarrel here, your guests are in a hurry."

As he spoke, he pushed Boss Xia to his box.

Seeing Boss Xia leaving, the tall man said to me, "Thank you, boss"

I looked at him, stared into his eyes and smiled and said, "It's nothing, but young people, don't be impulsive in the future, no matter what you encounter in the future, otherwise, if you are impulsive, you will not only harm yourself, but also your family, I think you are all old and young people now!" It's best not to bring anything you shouldn't be carrying."

I reached out and said, "Give me what's in your pocket."

The two men looked at me with a little shock, and I looked at the two of them with a faint smile and said, "I see that both of you are bloody men, and you are both serious people who rely on your own strength to earn food. But in this world, except for life and death, there is no hurdle that cannot be crossed. There are some things that you will regret once you do them, so you better remember that impulse is the devil and you have to think twice about everything you do." The tall man looked at me and smiled and said, "Thank you, big sister, the matter is over, we won't go to him again". I smiled at the tall man and said, "You are carrying controlled knives, it is illegal to carry them in public, you will only get yourself in trouble if you carry them with you, or we can still put them here to come in handy". The man stared into my eyes for a moment, and perhaps sensing my kindness, took a folding dagger from his pocket and placed it on the table, and I looked at the short man again, and he hesitated for a moment as he took out the knife from his pocket and put it on the table. Watching the two men leave, I took the knife under the cash register and put it away, knowing that the matter was not over yet. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Boss Xia and the guests to come out of the box, and when he walked past the cash register, he walked up to me and said to me menacingly: "You open your shop, who made you meddle in your business!" Who are you when you are? I looked at him quietly, and the people who came out with him stopped and looked at us without knowing what was going on, and the waiters in the store all gathered around. At this time, the waiter Xiao Meng happened to accept the cup on the table just now and came over, Boss Xia picked up a teacup on her plate viciously and slammed it on the ground, and the guest next to him quickly pulled him and said, "What are you doing here?" "I don't think the guests around him are doing business, they seem to be people working in government departments, and I think it's no wonder that he was willing to give in and pay the money just now, and it seems that he still has some scruples. I looked at the teacup on the ground, looked up at Boss Xia staring at him and said, "You deliberately broke the teacup, and according to the regulations, you will have to pay fifty yuan." Boss Xia stretched his neck and stared at me and yelled, "What can you do to me if I don't compensate?" What can you do with me? What can you do with me! I stared at him coldly, turned around and took out my police ID card from my bag under the counter, reached out to him and said, "You see, I'm a police officer, that's why I'm nosy here." Did you know that the two people who came to ask you for money today were carrying knives? If I hadn't been here to meddle today, do you think you would still be standing here and showing off your might? I'm afraid you're already a corpse! Facing my aggressive tone, Boss Xia looked at me stunned and said, "Are you a policeman?" You're not the boss here? "I'm not the boss here, I'm here on vacation to help people, that's why I'm nosy here," I said with a sneer. What if you're a police officer? Don't scare me here, I'm not scared," Boss Xia said loudly and inwardly. I snapped and took out the two knives I had just taken back and slapped them on the bar: "Why am I scaring you, this is what I just asked for from them, if it weren't for the fact that I'm a policeman, do you think I'm willing to meddle with your business?" ”。 Boss Xia jumped back in shock, and the people around him also flashed back in shock, and then their eyes fell on the two knives, Boss Xia looked at the people around him, and said loudly and calmly: "These two stinky 'blind streams' still want to come to me, they don't look at who I am, they think I will be afraid of them with a knife, what do they dare to do to me?" There is no royal law yet! I looked at the bravado posture of this lean man who didn't have a little extra flesh on his body, nodded with a smile on his face, and said, "You want to know what they can do to you?" They may be planning to kill you today, or they may want your whole family to die! Looking at Boss Xia's calm appearance and the surprised expressions of the people around me, I continued: "What's the matter, don't you believe it? Haven't you heard of the tragedy that happened in Qingbei County before the Spring Festival? That's the case we handled, because the head of the household deducted the wages of the hired workers for a few days. They usually saw that the hired man was an outsider, and he was too thin to bully him at every turn, and before leaving, they deducted his wages for a few days. The hired man sneaked into his house before the Chinese New Year's Eve, killing the employer's wife, children, and mother and family of four. When we interrogated the suspect, the suspect asked us to ask the employer, is money or life important? Let's also ask the employer, who is the kind of man? Boss Xia, don't think that if you have a little money, you won't take those who work for you in your eyes and bully others. They also have self-esteem. I don't think there is a distinction between high and low professions, as long as you rely on your own strength to earn money to eat, you should be respected, 10,000 yuan is really important in their eyes, but maybe in their hearts there are more important things than money, dignity, you feel superior when you have a little money, trample on the dignity of others, do not put others in your eyes, maybe one day others will do this to you or retaliate against you with more extreme means, you remember, barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes. If there is a next time, you may not have the luck you have today, and I don't plan to run into a boss like you every day." Boss Xia's face was blue and white for a while, and after looking at me for a while, he gave himself a round and said, "Oh, I have to thank you for saying that." I thought that this was a hotel after all, not an office of the criminal police team, so I changed my tone and looked at Boss Xia with a smile and said: "You don't have to thank me, it's your blessing to meet me, it's not my blessing, I see that you are not a blessed person who does good deeds and accumulates virtue like this, it may be the virtue you have accumulated in your previous life, go back to find a temple to burn pillar incense, thank them for bless you." The people around me heard me talk like this, and when they looked at the skinny Boss Xia, they all laughed, and Boss Xia himself laughed. I pointed to the broken teacup on the ground and said to him with a smile: "Boss Xia, you have to pay for the teacup, right?" Boss Xia took out a hundred-yuan bill from his bag and handed it to me and said, "Is it enough?" I took the money and smiled, "What do you mean?" Don't look for it? Boss Xia waved his hand angrily and said, "No need to look for it" I smiled and pouted and said: "I saved your life, and you gave a tip of fifty yuan, and you are also generous!" The people around him burst into laughter.
