Chapter 817: Sitting on the ground and starting the price
When Zhong Jinwei heard the sound, he glanced at the waiter, then turned to Chang Jian and said, "Give me the money."
After all, it was the young woman who made the mistake first, so Zhong Jinwei did not intend to use his status to pressure others, and paid the money to make amends for the young woman.
Yu Changjian received Zhong Jinwei's instructions and was about to pay for it when the restaurant waiter started shouting again and said in an extremely arrogant manner: "Why, there are a few stinkers who want to be heroes to save the beautiful women? Let me tell you, my boss has a lot of money.
, I can scare you to death with just a little bit of it. My boss has issued a message, just to make her kneel here, no matter how much money is spent. I will send it to the government later, who dares to let this bitch refuse my boss’s kindness!"
As soon as Wang Peng heard that this guy was mentally ill and meant to insult the Duke in his words, he immediately stepped over and was ready to teach him a lesson.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Zhong Jinwei this time, and he was heard saying to the guy: "Oh, your boss sounds very rich and powerful, right? But why do I feel that he is unkind, abuses lynching, and has no laws for the sake of wealth?
!”
The guy's mouth opened wide after being told by Zhong Jinwei. He couldn't bear to wear this hat.
Most of the passers-by who were watching couldn't stand it anymore and cheered loudly. Anyway, Zhong Jinwei was the one who took care of the problem. They took this opportunity to vent their grievances and were very enthusiastic.
After Zhong Jinwei finished speaking, he ignored the waiter and lowered his head to the young woman and said, "I'll pay for the buns for you. Get up soon."
The young woman originally thought that Zhong Jinwei might be plotting against her, so she knelt still. She would rather be humiliated than commit suicide.
But just listening to the conversation between Zhong Jinwei and the guy, I could tell that Zhong Jinwei was not that kind of person, so he raised his head and glanced at Zhong Jinwei gratefully, and then wanted to stand up.
Unexpectedly, because he knelt for too long and held the child in his hands, he knelt down again as soon as he didn't get up.
Zhong Jinwei couldn't help but sigh when he saw it, turned his head and said to the enthusiastic middle-aged woman just now: "Auntie, can you come over and give me a hand?"
The middle-aged woman had long wanted to fight against the injustice, but she was afraid of the power of the restaurant owner, so she did not dare to step forward. Now Zhong Jinwei stepped forward and asked her to help the young woman, and without hesitation, he hurried forward
Go over and help the young woman up.
Maybe it was because of the shaking. The child in the young woman's arms woke up and started crying. While crying, she shouted: "Mom, I'm hungry, Mom, I'm hungry..."
The little boy hugged his mother's legs and did not dare to speak.
At this time, the young woman burst into tears and held her child tightly.
Zhong Jinwei sighed in his heart, knowing that this young woman must have no money and could not satisfy the little request of the daughter in her arms and shed tears.
At this moment, Yu Changjian walked over to the clerk, handed the money to the clerk, and shouted in a cold voice: "Take it, is this money enough?"
Although I don’t know how much the buns in this restaurant cost, but based on common sense, this money is enough to buy a lot of buns.
Suddenly, a voice came from the second floor of the restaurant: "How can this little money be enough? My buns only cost twelve taels each!"
When Zhong Jinwei heard the sound, he looked up and saw an elegant-looking man sticking out the window and looking down.
Ten taels of silver is enough to buy twenty stones of grain, or two hundred and fifty big fat chickens. There is no way that these buns are so expensive. They obviously deliberately mentioned such a high price to embarrass Zhong Jinwei.
When the onlookers heard this, they were all in an uproar. Even the waiter raised his head in surprise and called out "Master".
Wang Peng's eyes narrowed when he heard this, which was a prelude to the explosion of anger in his heart. He approached Zhong Jinwei and asked for orders in a low voice: "Master?"
As long as Zhong Jinwei nods, Wang Peng and he can destroy the store in minutes. If that's not enough to relieve his anger, he can be thrown into jail directly to see if he is still arrogant!
Zhong Jinwei understood in his heart what this boss meant, and he was also very angry, but he did not let Wang Peng take action.
Because if Wang Peng takes action, he is actually using the power of the factory in his hands. Zhong Jinwei does not agree with this kind of use of privileges that does not follow the law.
Although he had taken action once when he came here, it was because someone else had insulted him with words. As his bodyguard, Dongchang Fanyi had reason to take action.
But this time, the purpose was to rescue the young woman and give her money to avoid her reputation as a thief. No matter what, from a certain perspective, the restaurant owner still had a point.
There are plenty of opportunities to deal with this kind of people, Zhong Jinwei thought, and said to Chang Jian: "Give me money!"
"Master?" Yu Changjian was a little unhappy when he heard this. It was obviously blackmail, but the Duke actually gave it to him.
Upon hearing this, the woman, who was lowering her head and weeping silently, knelt down to Zhong Jinwei with her child in her arms, and whispered: "My benefactor's kindness is appreciated."
Although the rest of the words were not spoken, it was easy to understand that she did not want Zhong Jinwei to take advantage of her and extort so much money from the restaurant owner.
"If I intervene, I will take care of it until the end. Just get up and watch." Zhong Jinwei said kindly, and motioned to the middle-aged aunt to help her up again.
Zheng Zhilong and Gu Baichuan, who were accompanying Zhong Jinwei, did not get angry. They still stood there calmly and allowed the Duke to deal with them.
Because in their eyes, no matter how powerful the restaurant owner is, he is just an ant that can be crushed to death with just a finger, and there is no need to get angry at all.
When Yu Changjian saw that Zhong Jinwei had no intention of changing his story, he had no choice but to count the money again according to the number of buns at twelve taels.
The passers-by who were watching suddenly burst into exclamations. Some of them condemned the restaurant owner, and some tried to persuade Zhong Jinwei not to pay for it.
The owner of the restaurant was asking for a high price, just to make Zhong Jinwei quit when he saw the difficulties. Unexpectedly, Zhong Jinwei actually took out the money. For a moment, he was stunned.
When Zhong Jinwei saw that the restaurant waiter unconsciously took the money into his hand, he turned around and said to passers-by: "Everyone forgets something sometimes. This lady forgot her money at home because she was anxious. Now I have to give the money to her."
Yes, does this count as stealing?"
Although the passers-by onlookers understood that it was actually a theft, it was just Zhong Jinwei who was kind and gave the money. Most people have a sympathetic mentality towards the weak, and what Zhong Jinwei said makes sense. Who has not forgotten the money? If so, then
Being framed for robbery is so unjust!
Therefore, passers-by responded to Zhong Jinwei in various ways, saying that it was not stolen.
When Zhong Jinwei received the response, he pointed at the person above him and said to the passers-by: "This is still a master of the people's education, but he has no sympathy at all in his actions. He also added insult to injury and wanted to use this to blackmail this lady into accompanying the wine. The sage's books were all written down.
He read into the dog's belly! Such people are a disgrace to scholars and a disgrace to the court."
The restaurant owner's face turned red when he heard this, and just when he was about to have a fit, he heard Zhong Jinwei say from below: "I want to sue him on behalf of this woman who has been wronged. She framed a good man, abused lynching, raised prices while sitting on the ground, and had no purpose."
