Chapter 4381 Chai Laoshi
Failed to fight, but unable to escape, the only thing everyone could do at the moment was to remain in a stalemate fearfully, waiting for the next move of Lin Yi and the others.
"Listen up, everyone, I am now taking over the Weihu branch temporarily in the name of the honorary vice president of the Hong Chamber of Commerce!" Lin Yi announced immediately.
Lin Yi's gaze slowly swept across the faces of everyone present, and everyone he glanced at would lower their heads involuntarily, not daring to look at each other. They didn't know what the other person was. Whether he is really the honorary vice president, but at least he knows that everything is now decided by the other party.
"Where is the deputy shopkeeper?" Lin Yi suddenly asked.
No one answered, but everyone's eyes had already given the answer, and they all fell on a middle-aged man on the edge.
Lin Yi followed the gazes of the crowd and saw that this middle-aged man had a low eyebrow and a submissive look on his face. Rather than saying he was loyal and honest, he had the temperament of a typical doormat, which people could tell at a glance. , this guy is by no means a strong person.
The middle-aged man was shrinking his neck, but when he saw everyone looking at him, especially Lin Yi and the others, he suddenly panicked and walked out quickly.
"I'm... I'm Chai Laoshi, the deputy manager of this branch. I'd like to pay my respects to the vice president..." The middle-aged man stammered and said politely.
Although he is the deputy shopkeeper, he got there purely through hard work and qualifications. He has no connections at the top of the headquarters. Naturally, he does not know about the purple gold jade pendant, and how he treats Lin Yi and the others. His attitude is exactly the same as that of other boys and men.
However, Chai Laoshi is a timid person. Lin Yi and the others are so difficult to mess with, and even powerful figures like Wei Zhaotong have been made to lose their temper. Naturally, he does not dare to contradict him in public. Since Lin Yi said that he is an honorary Vice President, then treat him as such.
"Well, were you involved in Wei Zhaotong's affairs?" Lin Yi looked at this person up and down. Many people seemed honest at first glance, but in fact they were hiding very deeply. Since this person Being a deputy shopkeeper under an old fox like Wei Zhaotong is very likely not to be underestimated, and he might be the same person.
"Report...report to the vice-president...I...I am purely idle. I don't know anything and will never participate in it." Chai Laoshi was immediately frightened and hurriedly shook his head in denial.
"Purely idle?" Lin Yi frowned and couldn't help but said with some suspicion: "Since you are the deputy shopkeeper, how can you be idle?"
In any Hong's Chamber of Commerce, In the branch, the deputy shopkeeper is the second in command Although a powerful person does not coordinate the overall situation and become an agent like a shopkeeper, he still has great power. Wei Zhaotong, who was in Gaolinhai area, is a living example. If he did not have enough power, he would not be able to cooperate with Qin Deli. Lining one's own pockets.
How could a person in such a critical position be unemployed, how could he not know anything?
"Really, every sentence below is true. I will never lie at all. If there is any deception, I will be punished by heaven and earth!" Chai Laoshi quickly swore, if Lin Yi regarded this as Wei Zhaotong's accomplice, it would be really I couldn't help but cry. She died even more unjustly than Dou E.
"You don't have to worry. I'll find someone to ask if it's true." Lin Yi said lightly, and then motioned to Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao to keep a close eye on the tied-up Wei Zhaotong, and He himself casually named a guy.
Lin Yi led the waiter into the living room, leaving Chai Laoshi and the others waiting nervously outside.
"The deputy shopkeeper Chai just now said that he was unemployed. Is it true or false?" Lin Yi turned around and looked at the waiter who followed him, and asked calmly.
"Yes...it's true..." The guy is just a heaven-level master who has not even succeeded in building a foundation. In front of Lin Yi, he is no different from an ordinary person. He is frightened by just looking at him, and he quickly stutters his answer. road.
"Oh? Why is he, a deputy shopkeeper with real power, unemployed? Can you tell me about it?" Lin Yi asked with a questioning look on his face.
“Really, it’s true. I don’t dare to deceive you at all. Deputy shopkeeper Chai really doesn’t do much at ordinary times. All things in our branch are managed by Mr. Wei himself. Deputy shopkeeper Chai rarely does anything. Showed up..." The waiter was afraid that Lin Yi wouldn't believe it, so he almost cried out of fear.
"Rarely shows up? You mean, this guy is always lazy?" Lin Yi continued to ask.
"No... no... Shopkeeper Chai has never been lazy before. He has always been diligent and hands-on. However, after Shopkeeper Wei was transferred here a few years ago, he... stopped taking care of things..." Guy He answered cautiously.
"That means Chai Laoshi was squeezed out by Wei Zhaotong? Were there any public conflicts between them?" Lin Yi pinched his chin thoughtfully.
"Uh..." the clerk thought carefully and said: "If we want to talk about open conflicts, it was several years ago. Shopkeeper Wei had just been transferred here and he forcibly took over all the business that Deputy Shopkeeper Chai was originally responsible for. In the past, Deputy Shopkeeper Chai came to argue with him, and Shopkeeper Wei also He didn't say anything, and he didn't get angry, but after that, Deputy Shopkeeper Chai disappeared for a month. He said he went to Zhongdao Headquarters. Other than that, there was no conflict. Basically, no matter what Shopkeeper Wei said, Deputy Shopkeeper Chai neither Participate and don’t take a stand..."
"Missed for a month ?" Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little strange. Seeing that the guy was hesitant to speak, he said, "Tell me everything you know, and don't force me to use the soul search technique!"
"That's right, buddy! Knowing that Lin Yi didn't know any soul-searching skills and was just trying to scare him, he immediately didn't dare to do anything again. Without any reservation, he quickly said: "I heard from people that during that month, Deputy Shopkeeper Chai actually didn't go to the Zhongdao headquarters at all. Instead, he was injured and spent a whole month recuperating from his injuries..."
"Recuperate for a month? Are you talking about Wei Zhaotong's handwriting?" Lin Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"Uh... Deputy shopkeeper Chai has never told anyone about it, and we don't know about it either, but everyone is guessing that, otherwise he wouldn't be so afraid of shopkeeper Wei in the future, and he wouldn't dare to take care of anything, and he would be left alone..." The guy said cautiously.
"Well, I understand, you go out and call Chai Laoshi in." Lin Yi nodded.
He was paying attention to the guy's expression from beginning to end, and didn't find anything strange. In other words, what this man said should be true, and what he revealed was similar to what Chai Laoshi showed. The temperament and performance just now are consistent. You can't make it up if you want to make it up on the fly, so it has enough credibility.
"Yes, yes." The man let out a sigh of relief! (End of this chapter)
