Chapter 293: Impetuous and Impetitive
Zhou Zhou Ming was surprised for a while, and at the same time, he also understood in his heart that the reason why Steward Li made such a bold bet must be that he thought that he would never be able to come up with 10,000 taels of silver, so he would definitely lose, after all, if he felt that he had a glimmer of hope of winning, he would definitely not dare to put his future on the plate, because the reputation and reputation of people working in the money bank are more important than life, if he is fired by the owner because of the scandal, then it will be more difficult for him to find another messenger in this industry in the future.
"No problem, I agree to raise the bet."
Zhou Ming did not hesitate and immediately agreed to Steward Li's proposal.
He knew in his heart that after he promised to increase the bet, he would definitely face a very big risk, because Steward Li made such a big bet in order to force himself to bet the same value, so that after winning, he could completely destroy himself.
Although he knew the other party's conspiracy, he was not afraid, because after all, he had a silver ticket of 200,000 taels of silver in his arms and strong strength to support him, so what was he afraid of?
Seeing that Zhou Ming agreed to increase the bet in an emotional situation, the shopkeeper Lu, who was watching coldly, was a little disappointed.
Just now he always thought that Zhou Zhou Ming was a shrewd and calm and resolute talent, but at this moment he had doubts about his judgment, because of this little trick used by Steward Li, anyone with a little brain, can see his purpose at a glance, but at such a critical juncture, Zhou Zhou Ming was actually swayed by emotions and agreed to Steward Li's request to increase the bet, such a stupid operation, isn't it equivalent to forcing himself to death?
Shopkeeper Lu frowned, shook his head secretly, thinking that young people are still too impetuous, once they can't hold their breath, they will fall into the trap of others, it seems that this is a common problem of young people, and this future life in front of him can't avoid being affected by this weakness, it's a pity, if he could overcome this weakness just now, maybe I would have stood up and solved the trouble for him.
Shopkeeper Lu hesitated for a while, thinking that after Zhou Zhou Ming lost later, he would come forward to help him, because he knew very well in his heart that although Steward Li usually bowed down to himself, he was very scheming, and once he got absolute power, his brutal nature would be exposed.
He had increased his bet so much that after winning this bet for a while, he would definitely not let this young man go easily, and if he didn't interfere, maybe he would really kill this young man.
After thinking for a while, Shopkeeper Lu couldn't make up his mind, and then he simply gave up thinking and chose to wait and see, wanting to see how this conflict would end.
After all, this kid came here to mess around, and it did make Qianzhuang's business pay a heavy price, if the matter came to the end and proved that he was not a talent, then letting him leave Qianzhuang unscathed would be an insult to his authority, and it would bring countless troubles to Qianzhuang.
After all, if they leave unharmed after the incident on Monday, it will send a wrong signal to the unemployed homeless people on the street, making them think that their money is easy to bully and they can come to find fault with them, even if they make a big fuss and extort money, they will not be punished.
Manager Lu, who has been in the business for many years, naturally knows how serious the consequences will be once things become like that.
Seeing that Zhou Ming agreed to his request to raise the bet without hesitation, Steward Li was overjoyed, he stared at Zhou Ming with two eyes, and said sinisterly: "Happy, like a person who does great things."
Then don't be stunned, hurry up and get the money, right? ”
The group of big men behind the door also hurriedly stepped forward to join in the fun, and they opened their mouths one after another, urging Zhou Ming to immediately use practical actions to prove their identity as rich people.
"I don't know what is dead or alive, but I still dare to raise, we will let you die now."
"Take the money! Didn't you speak in a way just now? Why can't my hand move when it's time to get the money? ”
The shopkeeper Lu, who was sitting on the side, immediately discovered the problem, thinking that these people under him were too stupid, they just made their bets clear, and didn't mention it at all, after they won, what price should Zhou Ming pay.
Shopkeeper Lu sighed, and sighed in his heart, it seems that even if these people don't have the problem of looking down on people, they will be embarrassed, even if it proves that Zhou Ming is not a good talent later, he will gradually eliminate all these people in the future, otherwise with their IQ, they will definitely cause big trouble for themselves in the future.
After seeing the performance of the gang in front of him, Zhou Zhou Ming was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that this gang would be so stupid.
He looked at the people in front of him with sympathetic eyes, thinking to himself that he was too much to see with these heartless eyes?
Just as he was hesitating whether to let them go, the smile on Steward Li's face suddenly disappeared, and he realized that he had made a major mistake, so he hurriedly stopped the gang of big men: "Shut up for me!" You guys, none of you have any brains, don't embarrass me here! ”
The strong men were all smiling and ready to see Zhou Ming's jokes, and then cleaned him up fiercely, and when they were unprepared, they were immediately stunned on the spot when they heard Steward Li's stern reprimand, not knowing what mistake they had made.
Seeing that Steward Li's face was very ugly, they immediately retreated to the side, not daring to say a word, for fear that saying a wrong word would bring them ruin.
The shopkeeper Lu on the side understood in his heart that Steward Li had reacted, so he was ready to ask Zhou Ming to make a promise to raise the bet.
Zhou Zhou Ming put his hand into his sleeve, made a look like he was going to take something, and then teased Steward Li: "Steward Li, why are you so angry?" I'm about to take out the money, you're making such a fuss, do I want to take out the money? ”
Steward Li was immediately frightened when he heard Zhou Zhou Ming say this, and he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Zhou Ming, for fear that he would lose the dispute before he made a promise to raise the bet, because in that case, this kid would not get any punishment, and if he was unreasonable and had to do something to this kid, the shopkeeper Lu who had been sitting next to him would not agree, after all, in the business of money banking, reputation is more important than life, once he makes something backtracking, it will be too difficult to save his reputation.
"Don't take it out, there's one more important thing I haven't confirmed yet." Steward Li grabbed Zhou Ming's hand and said with a nervous expression.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Ming asked knowingly, deliberately pretending to be confused.
Steward Li took a few breaths, and then said, "We just made it clear what we have to pay, and as for what kind of price you will pay after you lose, you haven't said it." ”
The gang of big men who were driven to the back of the door never understood in their hearts why Steward Li reprimanded them just now, and it was not until this moment, after hearing these words, that they understood in their hearts that they were so happy just now that they forgot to force Zhou Ming to raise the bet.
Realizing this, these strong men were all afraid, because they all knew in their hearts that if Steward Li didn't find this loophole and let that stinky boy take advantage of the loophole, even if they won the dispute, they couldn't move a single hair of that kid, and could only watch him swagger away.
The strong men all turned their heads in admiration and looked at Steward Li, they were all muttering in their hearts, fortunately the boss had a flexible mind and realized the problem in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zhou Ming took his hand out of his sleeve, and then smiled calmly: "It turned out to be a matter of raising the bet, if you don't say it, I really forgot." ”
Looking at Zhou Ming's shameless appearance, except for the shopkeeper Lu, everyone present was so angry that they gritted their teeth, and they couldn't wait to rush over directly and beat him up.
"Tell me, if we win, what price will you pay?" Steward Li ignored Zhou Ming's ridicule and asked directly about the point.
"Well, I don't have much experience, I don't know how to raise the bet, and you're satisfied." Monday Ming rolled his eyes and continued to play these idiots, "It's better for you to say it yourself, as long as the bet can satisfy you, I don't care." ”
"Okay, that's what you said!" This is what Steward Li wants, "If we win this dispute, you will not only kneel down and confess your mistakes to us and beg for mercy, but also leave two arms and two legs!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone on the scene was immediately surprised, because the price that Steward Li said was really cruel, and it was completely unequal to the bet he had just made.
The group of strong men hiding behind the door, although they hated Zhou Ming in their hearts, they only wanted to beat him, and they didn't think about crippling him.
They exchanged glances with each other, and then muttered to each other:
"Steward Li is too ruthless, right? Leaving that kid's two arms and legs behind doesn't mean that he has no way to live? ”
"Although that kid is hateful, he is not guilty to death, just give him a good taste, so that he will not dare to make trouble again in the future, why do you have to put people to death?"
"You want to know the answer? Ask for yourself, I don't dare to ask anyway. Look at the boss's face now, I dare to say, if anyone dares to provoke him now, it may be a dead end. ”
Although the strong men felt that the bet made by Steward Li was too much, they did not dare to tell their inner thoughts, for fear of burning themselves.
Shopkeeper Lu also didn't understand, why did Steward Li say such cruel words in this situation? Can't he think about it for the bank? If such a cruel thing happened in the bank, which customer would dare to come here to deposit money in the future?
