Jin Shuheng's expression changed slightly when he heard Lu Dashan's quick reply. He thought to himself that this old fellow really gave Xiao Zheng face. He even took care of his friends around him. It could be said that he loved the house and its crow.
Given his character, even if Bai Yujiao took the initiative to invite him, Jin Shuheng would definitely reject it. He would never really mingle with a group of juniors. It would be beneath his status and they wouldn't be able to chat. However, since Lu Dashan had agreed, he couldn't refuse his old buddy's request. He made up his mind, sat down and chatted for a while before leaving after drinking a cup of tea.
Yu Fei saw that the two of them had agreed to come in and drink tea, his heart was filled with anxiety. He finally had a chance to sit down and chat with Jin Shuheng. He lost that with a big shot like Jin Shuheng around, wouldn't Yen Teng-kuei be instantly overshadowed? Even his clubhouse wouldn't be attractive to those people from the same hometown?
For a moment, Yu Fei's mind was spinning, but he quickly stepped aside to welcome Lu Dashan and Jin Shuheng into the room.
As soon as the two entered, the group of young people sitting on the sofa leisurely enjoying tea and snacks jumped up. They uniformly saluted Jin Shuheng and shouted in awe, "Minister Jin!"
Their actions were neat and uniform. Their hearts were pounding and it was difficult for them to control themselves.
"Minister Jin?" Bai Yujiao was startled by the actions of these people from the same hometown and asked with a perplexed expression. "Which Minister Jin?"
She had been fired for many years and was only a patrol police officer in Pearl City. She couldn't even recognize her colleagues in the same area. Not to mention the influential people in the Royal City. But her group of people from the same hometown were different. Firstly, they worked in Beijing, and secondly, they slowly gained experience. They would more or less attend the conference and had the opportunity to meet a top figure like Jin Shuheng.
Of course, not all of them. Apart from Yu Ping, only one of the three female police officers recognized Jin Shuheng at a glance. The other two women just stood up and followed their fellow villagers to greet Minister Jin. They belonged to the same category as Bai Yujiao and couldn't recognize Jin Shuheng's true identity.
"Captain Bai, you really have eyes but failed to recognize Mt. Tai."
While everyone was talking, Xiao Zheng stood at the door of the room and said with a smile, "Minister Jin is the soul of your police force. Even the leader of the Pearl Police Force has to bow to Department Head Jin. "
Bai Yujiao's expression changed abruptly as she understood the true identity of this dignified middle-aged man. Even the two female police officers who were as confused as Bai Yujiao couldn't help but tremble. A horrified look appeared on his face.
The spiritual leader? That was a super big shot who held great power. It could be said that he was someone that they could never hope to reach in their lifetime. But now, he was in the same room with them, drinking tea and chatting. Wasn't this a pie falling from the sky? A great fortune?
Jin Shuheng turned around and glanced at Xiao Zheng. A soothing smile finally appeared on his dignified face. He pursed his lips and said, "Xiao Zheng. How can you insult your Uncle Jin like this? "
Xiao Zheng slowly walked into the lounge and respectfully said, "I've only heard that you have a high prestige in the system, Uncle Jin. Now I'm truly convinced. "
"Old Lu, did you hear that? This kid has always looked down on me, "Jin Shuheng said with a smile.
Lu Dashan rolled his eyes at Jin Shuheng. "You're already so old and you're still bickering with young people. What's the point? "
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Let's sit down and talk. It's so tiring to look at. "
While talking, Xiao Zheng took everyone to their seats with the attitude of a host. He then clapped his hands and more than ten girls in cheongsam came into the room with more exquisite snacks and tea to serve everyone.
The lounge was big enough. Even if there were ten more people, it wouldn't feel crowded at all, let alone ten. Every single sofa was also comfortable and soft. Sitting on it was like sitting in the clouds. They were high-end goods that Ma Choi Jun ordered from Europe.
Yu Fei anxiously sat down, but he was no longer in the mood to taste tea and eat snacks. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat. It was as if he had just climbed out of a river.
This Xiao Zheng — what was his background?
What right did he have to talk and laugh with Jin Shuheng and Lu Dashan? Furthermore, from the way they treated Xiao Zheng, it was clear that they were good friends who had a very close personal relationship. Minister Jin kept a straight face from beginning to end, looking dignified. Only when Xiao Zheng appeared, his face showed a sincere smile. He seemed to admire Xiao Zheng very much, even with a trace of a senior to a junior — Yu Fei was dumbfounded.
Yu Ping was also dumbfounded.
The group of young people who had planned to ruthlessly rip off Xiao Zheng also no longer had the intention to do so.
How could they rip him off? Just this tea and snacks alone had basically reached the limit of what they could imagine ripping off Xiao Zheng. Could they really let Xiao Zheng prepare a table full of Manchu Han Imperial Feast to make things difficult for him?
They were all officials. Although their ranks were lower, they still had a sense of propriety. What's more, just based on the friendship between Xiao Zheng and Jin Shuheng. They didn't have the heart or the guts to do so.
Even if Xiao Zheng didn't seek revenge for the smallest grievance, they would probably never have a chance to be promoted in this lifetime if they bad-mouthed Jin Shuheng.
That was Jin Shuheng's power. In front of everyone, he was domineering and overbearing. Otherwise, with Yu Fei's eloquence, how could he be so nervous that he couldn't even say a complete sentence?
"Xiao Zheng, I didn't expect this. How long have you been in Yan Jin? You've already made so many friends? " Lu Dashan and Jin Shuheng were smart people. They only needed to glance at the faces of Jin Shuheng's subordinates to guess that this wasn't a simple situation. There was no atmosphere of a gathering of friends.
He purposely asked this because he hoped that Xiao Zheng would take a stand. Otherwise, he and Jin Shuheng wouldn't do bad things out of good intentions.
If they were friends, Jin Shuheng would definitely remember this group of new people in the system. That would be giving face to Xiao Zheng. If not, Jin Shuheng would at least know what to do.
Lu Dashan asked casually. Before Xiao Zheng could respond. Yu Fei and the others instantly fell into a state of endless tension.
Maybe they couldn't guess what Lu Dashan was trying to say. But they knew very well that if Xiao Zheng responded directly, it would mean that he recognized them as friends. Then it would definitely be beneficial for them to work hard in the system in the future. Even if Jin Shuheng didn't mention their names and promote them on the surface. Inadvertently helping them would be enough to benefit them a lot.
But if Xiao Zheng held a grudge against them —
Everyone suddenly came to a realization. They didn't expect that tonight's situation would be the turning point of their lives. It could be said that a thought could lead to heaven and a thought could lead to hell. Their fates were all firmly in the palm of Xiao Zheng's hand.
Everyone looked at Xiao Zheng with rapid breathing, waiting for the young man who was about to make a killing a second ago to answer.
Xiao Zheng took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Uncle Lu, don't make fun of me. I don't have that much ability. I'm just making friends with a group of young and promising people. "
Everyone's heart sank when they heard that. It seemed that — — he was going to cut ties with them!
But before everyone could sink to the bottom, Xiao Zheng slowly put down the teacup and said calmly, "Well, I arranged for this station tonight. I just wanted to walk around with Director Yu and get to know them. Aren't you forcing Director Yu to make a statement? "
