Chapter 292: Leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade
In fact, when he secretly doubled the amount standard, Manager Li was also very scared in his heart, although he knew that Zhou Zhou Ming and the strong men under him didn't know what the original amount standard was, so even if he secretly did something, they would definitely not be able to see it, but the only thing he was worried about was his own shopkeeper.
Because when this standard was formulated, it was only with his consent that it could be used, so he knew better than anyone what the amount of this standard was, and if he blatantly doubled the standard amount under his nose, it was not only a very immoral thing, but also, in his opinion, a challenge to his authority.
Steward Li understands in his heart that although he has been favored by the shopkeeper before, but in fact, his own ability is far from reaching the level of being able to stand on his own, and before his ability reaches a certain level, he still needs to continue to hone in this bank, after all, as the saying goes, it is good to enjoy the shade with his back against a big tree, if he leaves this place where he can grow his ability, it will be difficult for him to find a satisfactory place to stay.
It is precisely because of such concerns in his heart, so after being taught a lesson by the shopkeeper Lu, he was immediately frightened, and hurriedly stood up straight obediently, and admitted his mistake to the shopkeeper Lu: "Shopkeeper, I was wrong, just now I was teased by this kid, so I was hot-headed for a while, and when I told him about this method, I temporarily made up my mind and changed the standard amount, my idea of doing this is actually very simple, that is, I want to give this kid an ugly look, let him retreat from the difficulty, and get out of it early."
Otherwise, if he keeps entangled here, it will have a great impact on the business of our money bank. ”
Shopkeeper Lu frowned, with a displeased expression on his face, of course he understood in his heart that when Steward Li admitted his mistakes to himself, he was still playing tricks, what he said earlier may be from the bottom of his heart, but the latter paragraph is completely trying to confuse himself in the name of business, so as to excuse himself.
Originally, the shopkeeper Lu didn't want to show mercy to Steward Li, he wanted to point out his mistake just now in front of everyone, and then reprimand him, and then come forward to resolve the dispute between Zhou Ming and his subordinates, and finally make this matter a big thing small and a small thing nothing.
But after thinking about it, he felt that it was too cruel for Steward Li to do this, after all, before this, he had always been his most powerful helper, if he didn't save face in this matter and let him lose face in front of everyone in public, then how would he gain a foothold in the money village in the future?
Before he was sure whether Zhou Zhou Ming was a real talent, he interrupted his powerful left and right hand, which is undoubtedly very stupid, after all, as the saying goes, help relatives or not, even if Zhou Zhou Ming is in this dispute, no matter how he takes advantage, if he can't use it for himself in the end, what's the point of helping him?
After thinking of this, Shopkeeper Lu immediately changed his attitude, he lowered his voice with a serious face and said: "Steward Li, you have followed me for so many years, and you know my character very well, if it is in the past, you made such a mistake, I will definitely not let you go."
But today, for the sake of the first time you have made such a mistake, the original intention of doing this kind of thing is for the benefit of the bank, so for the sake of your loyalty, I will let you go this time for the time being, but you must remember in your heart that this is only this time, and it will not be an example.
One more thing I would like to warn you is that this young man you have dealt with is quite bold, and I want to take him for my own use as my right-hand man.
So when you deal with him later, you must not do things too desperately, otherwise the two of you will not be able to work together in the future. ”
Steward Li naturally knew that Shopkeeper Lu didn't rub sand in his eyes, so although he had sincerely admitted his mistake, he also knew in his heart that he would most likely not be forgiven.
Just when he was so frightened that he didn't know where to find a living in the future, he suddenly heard that the shopkeeper Lu decided to let himself go this time.
He couldn't believe his ears for the first time, and after confirming that the shopkeeper Lu really meant this, he was overjoyed, he knew in his heart that the shopkeeper Lu was usually meticulous in his work, and it was difficult to be deceived, the reason why he was able to forgive himself this time and let himself go, there was only one reason, that is, he had a certain position in his heart, even if he wanted to punish himself, he would have some concerns, after all, he was now the most effective cadre under him.
Thinking of this, Steward Li's heart was even more excited, but such a good mood did not last long.
Hearing that Shopkeeper Lu said that he intended to take Zhou Ming for his own use, Steward Li was stunned for a moment and didn't say a word for a long time.
This blow is too big for him, thinking of having to do things with Zhou Ming face to face in the future, he has the heart to die, because in the short contact with Zhou Ming just now, he has already discovered that this kid not only has the ability, but also is bold, if he is allowed to connect with the shopkeeper Lu, then it will not take long for him to be replaced.
After a short silence, Steward Li hurriedly agreed to the instructions of the shopkeeper Lu, and he kept admitting his mistakes.
Shopkeeper Lu was very satisfied with his performance, out of trust in him, Shopkeeper Lu didn't say anything more, but sat back in the chair directly, planning to see how Steward Li would deal with this dispute in the end.
After pacifying the shopkeeper Lu, Steward Li turned around and changed his face, in fact, when he was talking to the shopkeeper Lu just now, he already had another plan in his heart, he was ready to fight Zhou Ming to the end, so that he would lose face in front of the shopkeeper Lu today, because only in this way can he stop this kid from grabbing a job with him.
Steward Li walked up to Zhou Ming and said with a wicked smile: "Little brother, I have finished talking about the second verification method, if you feel scared, it's too late to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy now, otherwise if you see that your identity is ruthlessly exposed, you won't have time to cry." ”
Zhou Zhou Ming smiled slightly, thinking that this Steward Li had gone to such great lengths just now, I thought he was going to say something terrifying, it turned out that he was just asking people to pay money directly, to prove that he was rich in this way, this kind of brain-dead method, I don't know which fool came up with it.
He subconsciously touched the silver ticket in his arms with his wrist, and thought to himself with some luck, fortunately I brought this silver ticket out, otherwise I really couldn't deal with today's big battle.
"Steward Li, don't talk nonsense, since I dare to stand here and choose this method to verify my identity, I have this strength." Zhou Zhou Ming said-for-tat, and said without losing the slightest in momentum, "I'm a little worried about you, if it turns out that I am a rich man in the end, then you guys who have dog's eyes and look down on people, will you be swept away by the boss immediately?" ”
This question was asked at once to the hearts of Steward Li and the strong men, and they all knew in their hearts that with the style of the shopkeeper Lu, if they really looked away this time, it was very likely that they would lose their errands.
However, at this point, they don't worry about this problem anymore, because they are 100% sure in their hearts, Zhou Zhou Ming is a poor boy who pretends to be a rich man and comes here to deceive, and as long as he can't take out 10,000 taels of silver on him after a while, no matter how high his ability to deceive people is, his lies will be self-defeating.
"Poor ghost, you're still worried about yourself!"
"If you can't come up with the money for a while, I'll beat you until you vomit blood!"
"Xiao Qisan, don't pee to take care of yourself, look at which thing on your body, it's worth 10,000 taels of silver? Don't you think your head is worth so much money? ”
After the strong men heard Zhou Ming's provocation, they all immediately opened their mouths to shoot back.
"How daring!" Steward Li didn't intend to let Zhou Ming go, but seeing that he was dying and so arrogant, Steward Li was even more angry, "Okay, since your kid is so confident in himself, then we might as well raise the stakes!" ”
When Shopkeeper Lu heard Steward Li say this, he immediately realized that the situation was wrong, and he thought to himself, Didn't I tell Steward Li to show mercy to his subordinates just now? Why is he raising his bets now?
Although he didn't understand what Steward Li did, Shopkeeper Lu didn't immediately stand up to stop him, because he knew very well in his heart that if he stood up again and again to whisper to Steward Li, he would definitely be suspected of any conspiracy by others, and if Zhou Ming misunderstood him because of this, it would be worth the loss.
It was precisely because he was worried about this that Shopkeeper Lu sat on the chair and did not speak.
Zhou Zhou Ming originally wanted to clean up this group of minions who looked down on people, but he never found a suitable opportunity and way, and when he heard that Steward Li was going to raise the bet, he was suddenly happy.
"How do you want to add it? Tell me about it. Zhou Ming was not afraid and said with a smile.
"Simple." Steward Li gritted his teeth and said, "If you can take out something worth 10,000 taels of silver from yourself later, I and my gang of buddies will immediately quit our errands and get out, and we will never show our faces in the capital from now on, and before you leave, if you want to be punished, we will listen to you and never resist." ”
Originally, the group of strong men behind the door were all very happy when they saw that Zhou Ming and Steward Li were going to raise the bet, because they hated Zhou Zhou Ming so much and thought that he would definitely lose.
But later, Steward Li pulled them up when he raised the bet, which made them faintly worried, because once there was an accident, they would not even have a place to eat.
However, such worries did not affect their good mood, because they had already flattened Zhou Ming, thinking that even if they put him in an oil pan and fried him, they would not be able to fry a tael of silver oil and water.
Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect that Manager Li would be so bold and put his future on the line.
