Chapter 58: Changing attitude faster than turning the pages of a book [Seeking follow-up reading]

What I saw before me was a scene of devastation.

Four or five middle-aged bald, greasy men with red faces and drunken ears were clinking glasses and toasting each other in what seemed to be a harmonious atmosphere. Each of them had a hostess sitting next to them, who was responsible for pouring wine for them and serving them food. Dirty jokes came out of their mouths one after another, making the hostesses blush.

If you're not sure, you've come to the wrong place.

It's still daytime.

Lu Yang almost thought that he had returned to a bar or KTV in the future. The people in front of him were not the top executives of a state-owned coal mine, but a group of gangsters who were drinking, singing, and hugging young hostesses.

With the entry of Lu Yang and others, the scene soon became quiet.

This group of middle-aged greasy men instantly became serious again.

Everyone was holding a glass of wine, looking serious, as if everything just now was an illusion. A middle-aged man with tattoos on his arm frowned when he saw that the atmosphere was not right. He turned around and scolded loudly: "What are you doing? Who told you to act on your own and let people in without asking for permission? Didn't I tell you to send them away? You can't even do this. You disturbed my guests. I think you don't need to be the lobby manager anymore."

The bald man said with a face full of grievance: "Uncle, you can't blame me for this. These are the guests they said they wanted to invite."

Director Zheng, who was sitting among them, also recognized Lu Yang and the others, especially Gong Pingan who was standing behind Lu Yang. His old face suddenly turned red with nervousness. He stood up with a cool sound, walked away from the hostess next to him, and said with his big mouth hidden by his beard, "My friends, they are all my friends. It's okay. We just drank. There's nothing shameful. Close the door."

After all, he has been through many battles.

After the initial panic, the bearded brother had regained most of his composure.

It's just a show.

Besides, I didn’t do anything. If my brother-in-law goes back and complains, the worst that can happen is that I will just kneel on the washboard tonight.

Think of this.

He looked at Wei Zheng who was hiding behind Lu Yang with a resentful look on his face: "Really, you didn't even say a word on the phone, Old Wei, you are so unkind!"

If looks could kill.

Wei Zheng is already riddled with holes.

Seeing someone come out to smooth things over, the tattooed middle-aged man who had just scolded the bald man waved his hand and said, "Okay, get out, useless thing."

I don't even know how to ask for instructions.

At least let everyone pretend to be nice and don't make the situation so awkward.

The bald guy felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly stepped back and closed the door from the inside.

The tattooed middle-aged man stood up, poured himself a glass of wine, and raised it to another middle-aged Mediterranean man sitting next to him, who looked intimidating without being angry, and said, "Director Li, my nephew is uneducated and has only been working here for a few days. He has no experience in handling such emergencies. I apologize to you on his behalf. I'll drink this glass of wine. Today's meal is also waived. Consider it my thanks to Hu Zi for treating you all to a drink as a token of my apology."

Say it.

He drank the full glass of liquor in one gulp and forced it down, choking and making his face turn red.

But it seemed that Director Li was not very grateful, and he didn't even want to have a drink with us. He said indifferently, "Boss Xie, what you said is wrong. You didn't offend me, so there's no need to apologize. Besides, we are all guests who come to eat here. If we don't pay, wouldn't it be like eating a free meal?"

Say it.

He smiled and said coldly, "We are suffering a little bit in the state-owned coal mine, but it has not come to the point where we have to eat a free meal. In addition, Mr. Xie, you should call all your waitresses down. We are all grown men with hands and feet. We don't need them to serve us dishes. Besides, your Hong Kong and Macau Hotel should not have this service, right?"

Even if it was just a few words.

But at this moment, the tattooed middle-aged man's forehead was already sweating, and he kept smiling and said, "Yes, yes, Director Li is right, we don't have such a service here."

Then he slapped himself in the face: "I was wrong."

As soon as the words fell.

Then he immediately turned to all the hostesses at the table who were at a loss at the moment and said, "Are you deaf or dumb? Get out of here immediately. Do you hear me?"

They were so frightened that they quickly stood up and ran away.

Director Li then said, "It would be best if there isn't one. Otherwise, I would definitely suggest to the relevant county authorities to have a thorough investigation. In Zhao County, no place that harbors filth and dirt is allowed to exist." That was a very good thing to say.

It would have been a shocking scene if the door hadn’t opened just now.

The tattooed man, Xie Huzi, wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, thank you Director Li for showing mercy. We agreed before that your company's hospitality mission for the next few years..."

Director Li interrupted calmly, "Of course not. Our state-owned coal mine has its own guesthouse. It would be against the rules to hand over all the business banquets and accommodation to your Hong Kong and Macao Hotel. I think we should stop here today. Boss Xie, please make yourself at home. We have something else to discuss next."

The tattooed man's face froze.

I was almost enraged, but I gritted my teeth and endured it secretly.

Director Li in front of him was not someone he could afford to offend. Although the other party was only an office director in the state-owned coal mine, his rank was deputy division level, only half a level lower than the county officials and at the same level as the deputy county magistrate. Moreover, the state-owned coal mine was not under the jurisdiction of the county, and the city was merely a trustee. If he really got serious, the other party might only need one word to make him in big trouble.

Before leaving.

He glared fiercely at Lu Yang, as well as Wei Zheng, Da Jun, and Gong Pingan who were traveling with Lu Yang.

It was this group of people who not only caused him to lose a big business deal that he had negotiated, but also made Director Li offended. If he wants to get the reception task of the state-owned coal mine again in the future, I am afraid the price he will have to pay will be incomparable to today.

Although he was ridiculed and lost face, he didn't care much. A real man can bend and stretch, as long as he can make money.

Think of this.

He had already made up his mind and memorized the appearance of Lu Yang and others before leaving.

"Zheng, among these people, I wonder who is the big boss who came back from Shencheng?"

Send the tattooed man away.

Director Li did not continue to be sullen. He glanced at Lu Yang and the others at the door, and then set his gaze on the bearded man who was already a little restless.

Director Zheng could only walk out awkwardly, pointing at Lu Yang and saying, "This is him, his name is Lu Yang, Lu Yang, this is Director Li, Director Li is the office director responsible for the safety exit and logistics of our state-owned coal mine, and he has two teams under him, the mine patrol team and the railway patrol team. The last nail theft case was solved by our institute and the railway patrol team."

After saying that, he quickly slapped Lu Yang in the face and told him to be careful with his response.

He was also responsible for what happened today. He didn't expect that the owner of the Hong Kong and Macau Hotel would suddenly come in and toast him when he was enjoying his meal. You said you wanted to toast, so you should do it. And you brought so many girls with you...

I don’t know if Director Li will blame me for this incident.

Lu Yang was not stage-frightened.

He was already used to this kind of thing, so he took a few steps forward and said, "Hello, Director Li, I'm Lu Yang."

Director Li nodded.

"You are young, not bad. I heard you want to rent a truck from our mine?"

"Yes, Director Li."

"Can you tell me? What do you plan to do with it?"

present.

Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Yang.

"I'm going to do some small business. To be honest with you, Director Li, I've already bought a number of stalls in the county's free wholesale market. I plan to use them to do some business and serve the people of my hometown. After much deliberation, I'm going to start with clothing wholesale. This time I borrowed the car because I plan to go out of town and investigate the market."

Lu Yang didn't tell the truth, but he also told some truth.

"Okay, be ambitious."

Director Li praised it and continued eating, and that was all.
