Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 215: Even if you take off this skin, you can’t turn the world upside down

It seems that this pig-like waitress has some background.

Actually it is not surprising.

In those days, restaurants, supply and marketing cooperatives, and shops were all places with plenty of money.

You really can't get in without some connections.

At this time, Zhao Ziang whispered a few words to the man next to him who was in his forties, with a stern face and looked quite imposing.

The man nodded slightly and stared at me again.

I think Zhao Ziang was talking to him about me.

But it is not clear whether it is good or bad.

After getting the man's nod of approval, Zhao Ziang immediately trotted over.

With a smile on her face, she said to the waitress, "Sister Zeng, this is my friend."

"Give me some face, and I'll ask them to apologize to you."

"Humph!"

The waitress known as Sister Zeng snorted coldly.

He raised his head but didn't even look at Zhao Ziang.

"Give you some face?"

"Where did you come from?"

"Do I know you? Why should I give you face?"

It seems that Sister Zeng's support comes from a powerful background.

They didn't give Zhao Ziang any face at all.

He is a public servant wearing a wide-brimmed hat!

Ordinary people would feel three inches shorter when they see him!

Zhao Ziang was not annoyed at all, but laughed even harder: "Sister Zeng, this is what my leader wants, look over there."

He pointed cautiously.

Sister Zeng turned her head and looked over. The middle-aged man in his forties smiled at her and nodded twice.

"whispering sound!"

Sister Zeng showed disdain: "Is he your leader?"

"He's just the last-ranked deputy director of the county bureau. During the New Year, he was cleaning windows and mopping the floor at my brother-in-law's house. He was as busy as his grandson."

"Where do I get the nerve to give him face?"

These words were spoken loudly, as if they were deliberately spoken for Leader Zhao Ziang to hear.

The smile on the forty-year-old man's face froze, and his expression became uncertain.

He glared at Zhao Ziang fiercely.

He turned his head away and pretended not to hear anything.

Zhao Ziang's face instantly turned bitter.

He quickly leaned over to my ear and whispered, "Brother, I wanted to help you, but I ended up helping myself!"

"This Sister Zeng is quite influential. Her brother-in-law is the executive vice president of the Municipal Bureau and is said to be getting promoted soon!"

"Why did you have to offend this Bodhisattva when you could have offended anyone else?"

"If you ask me, you should apologize immediately, say something nice, and put this matter behind you."

"If this gets out of hand, not only will you be finished, but I'll also be in trouble!"

Zhao Ziang said a lot of things in a hurry.

He kept bowing and winking at me, hoping that I would apologize to Sister Zeng quickly.

Cui Hao didn't hear the previous part clearly, only hearing that we were asked to apologize. He immediately glared at her and said unhappily, "Why should my brother apologize to her?"

"What did we do wrong when we ordered the food? Why do you suspect we will default on our bill and even say such rude things?"

"We are right, and we are not afraid to travel around the world!"

"If there's an apology, it should be her!"

Zhao Ziang was so anxious that he almost jumped up when he heard this.

He told the deputy director about my relationship with Taoist Master Zhang.

The deputy director knew that Taoist Zhang had cured the county magistrate's stomach disease, so he agreed to let Zhao Ziang act as a peacemaker under his own name.

I thought that as long as Zhao Ziang could act as a good peacemaker, he could please both sides.

But I didn't expect it to backfire.

Sister Zeng did not give face to the deputy director of the county bureau.

I didn't give Zhao Ziang any face either.

Coupled with Cui Hao's words, the conflict became even more intensified.

Sister Zeng rolled up her sleeves and glared at us: "You're asking me to apologize to you? No way!"

"I'm going to call my brother-in-law now!"

"You guys, keep an eye on them and don't let them run away!"

Sister Zeng pointed casually, and everyone at the table not far away stood up.

They separated to the left and right and surrounded us.

Their movements were very professional.

There are also photos on their faces.

He has a sharp yet fierce look, and you can tell at first glance that he's wearing a wide-brimmed hat.

Or maybe a criminal police officer who often handles big cases.

Zhao Ziang felt like quitting.

He gave me a look that said "I wish you all the best" and prepared to leave.

But as soon as he took a step, he was held down by a strong man coming towards him.

"Don't leave."

"Sister Zeng said no one can leave, so please don't make things difficult for us."

"Brother Xiong, it's me! Xiao Zhao from the County Bureau! We even shared a dorm during the last training session for key criminal investigators!"

Zhao Ziang used all kinds of connections to get close to people.

But nothing worked.

Brother Xiong forced me to sit down next to me.

"Xiao Zhao, once you've gotten involved in this mess, don't even think you can walk away."

"You're smart, but too smart. You might be too clever for your own good. This isn't the way to build relationships."

"If you don't have the confidence to support both parties, don't try to be a peacemaker."

This brother bear is a man of brains.

Every word Zhao Ziang said hits the nail on the head.

He was so eager to take shortcuts by building relationships that he overlooked the point of building relationships themselves.

You can't build relationships just by wanting to.

Even if you have some connection with me, why would others use you?

There are many people who want to curry favor with those who are in a higher position by building relationships.

If there is no special value, having connections will not be of much use.

Zhao Ziang quickly took out a cigarette and handed it to Brother Xiong.

He then lit the fire for him with a respectful look on his face.

"Brother Xiong is right. I am in a state of excitement."

"Hurry up and teach me what to do right now! If Sister Zeng really calls out Deputy Director Long, she might just skin me alive!"

The "skinning" he mentioned refers to stripping off his uniform.

Losing the uniform and the identity of the peaked hat means losing all the rights in one's hands.

No one is willing to give up the power in their hands.

Especially someone like him who is determined to climb up the ladder.

Wang Hu and the others looked a little panicked.

Not to mention that we are tomb robbers, even ordinary people would feel a little panicked if surrounded by a group of people wearing wide-brimmed hats.

Cui Hao even hung his head.

In a voice that only I could hear, I said, "Brother, I'm in trouble again."

"Who knew that fat woman's words were so effective?"

I patted him gently on the shoulder.

Impulsiveness is normal.

Even if Cui Hao hadn't said those words just now, I would have said them.

They might even say it more strongly.

The reason why I didn't panic was not because I was calm.

But because there is a trump card.

When I entered the restaurant just now, I saw a group of people surrounding Commissioner Geng and going up to the second floor.

I guess Deputy Director Long was also among the crowd surrounding Commissioner Geng.

Previously, I disguised myself as a Hong Kong businessman and came to Shangluo to investigate investment, and had dinner with Commissioner Geng.

If things really get out of hand, we'll have to use the Hong Kong businessmen card.

I believe Commissioner Geng will give three thin noodles.

"It's okay, I'm just a waiter, I can't cause any big trouble." I said calmly.

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard all kinds of laughter coming from all around me.

Those laughs all had one thing in common: they were filled with mockery and anticipation for a good show.

They all thought what I said was too arrogant.

Brother Xiong, cigarette in hand, shook his head at me: "A powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake, not to mention that you are not a powerful dragon."

"The last person who contradicted Sister Zeng was sent to prison and has been there for half a year."

"I advise you to kneel down and admit your mistake later."

"If you behave better, you might be able to stay in prison for fewer days."
