Ma Lintai glanced at Yao Wenfeng, and said angrily, "Only Lord Director Zhang has so much. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid this matter would be related to your Tin Tau."
Ma Lintai then gave a few more instructions to Zhang Jinming, and then took his leave.
Zhang Jinming sent him on the carriage, and before Ma Lintai left, he said with a smile, "Director Zhang, my 'black face' has sung quite well today, right? Even if Tian Ming wanted to trip you up, but I believe that your action of showing kindness will give him a show of strength. "
Zhang Jinming already knew what Ma Lintai was doing, he nodded and said, "Manager Ma, I thank you for your good intentions. "Mm, I'll buy you a drink another time when I have time."
"You're too polite." Ma Lintai said, and then bid farewell to Zhang Jinming.
Kou Xiaolin walked over and asked, "Director Zhang, let's go take a look at the office later."
Zhang Jinming looked at the company building with a complicated expression, then suddenly shifted his gaze to the side of the road, "No, let's go take a look around the city."
Kou Xiaolin said joyfully, "Director Zhang, do you really want to relax?"
Zhang Jinming chuckled, he shook his head, no one knew if he should agree with her words or reject her.
The two of them then took a taxi to the county town.
Although Zhang Jinming had come to the Xin City once before, he only came in a hurry and had been following Tian Ming around the whole day. Forget about going out to look around, he didn't even have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of this city.
Although the prosperity of the Xin City could not be compared with that of the Yongding, but in the many counties under the jurisdiction of the Yongding, the prosperity was definitely outstanding. It was said that the consumption level had a tendency to chase after the Yongding, this Earth City, as a whole.
The two of them walked on the street aimlessly, Kou Xiaolin kept looking around, as if she was curious about everything. However, Zhang Jinming's brows were tightly knitted, and he looked as if he was preoccupied with something.
After the two of them had walked for more than an hour, Kou Xiaolin could not help but ask, "Director Zhang, are we supposed to just roam around like this?"
Zhang Jinming came back to his senses and looked at her, saying, "Xiao Lin, let's go take a look at our company's counter. I'll buy you some cosmetics, by the way. "
Kou Xiaolin said excitedly, "Alright, ah, this is the first time you are buying things for me."
Zhang Jinming smiled lightly, extended his hand and scratched the bridge of her nose, "You little fool, what are you thinking about? "When you get married in the future, I will give you an even more precious gift."
"What?" Kou Xiaolin was stunned for a moment, then a thought suddenly emerged in her heart, as she faintly felt something.
Zhang Jinming looked at her in shock, "Xiao Lin, what's wrong?"
"Ah, no, nothing." Kou Xiaolin quickly covered up her strange expression.
After that, Zhang Jinming kept talking about what happened the last time he was framed. Kou Xiaolin just listened to it while deep in thought.
The two of them asked around and found out that there was a Lihua cosmetics store nearby.
When they walked over, they found that the store was in a department store.
What surprised Zhang Jinming was that this department store was actually Jinmao Department Store and Xiao Dingnan's company. In an instant, Zhang Jinming's expression became extremely ugly. He immediately associated this with the fact that Shen Lin and Xiao Dingnan were so close, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable.
Kou Xiaolin noticed the change in Zhang Jinming and asked worriedly, "Director Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Zhang Jinming replied indifferently, and quickly walked inside.
This department store was perhaps located in a bustling area, so its business was exceptionally good. There was an endless stream of people coming and going.
Zhang Jinming and Kou Xiaolin passed through the door and entered.
Actually, this department store, to put it more plainly, was more like a hybrid supermarket. Each level was dedicated to selling a single type of item.
From the guidance sign at the elevator entrance, they could see that the fifth floor was dedicated to cosmetics.
The two of them took the elevator up to the fifth floor. There were a lot of people in the elevator and they were all crowded.
When the elevator door finally opened, everyone rushed outside. Surrounded by the crowd, Zhang Jinming couldn't help but to squeeze his way out. Maybe it was because he was pushed too fast, he accidentally stepped on a person's foot in front of him. The man turned his head and cursed, "Fuck you, where are those dog eyes of yours?"
Zhang Jinming's heart was extremely angry, he clenched his fists, and said while clenching his teeth, "What the fuck are you saying, is there dog shit in your mouth?"
The person in front of him was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. One could tell with a single glance that this was most likely a young master from a wealthy family.
Seeing that Zhang Jinming actually dared to scold him, the man cursed out fiercely, "You are truly courting death." As he spoke, a fist came smashing over.
Zhang Jinming was already prepared for this, so he easily dodged his attack. The young man's fist landed squarely in the face of a man behind him.
However, the man seemed to recognize this person and only glanced at him before running away gloomily while covering his face.
This young man was extremely arrogant and despotic. He stared at the surrounding people with a pair of vicious eyes, "What the fuck are you all looking at? Do whatever you want and don't get in my way."
As soon as this young man finished speaking, those people all left in succession. No one dared to stand here for more than a minute as they were afraid of offending this person.
Zhang Jinming was extremely shocked in his heart. Heh, just what kind of person was this bastard, to actually cause so many people to be afraid.
After they had all left, this young man slowly walked towards Zhang Jinming. He suddenly pushed Zhang Jinming away and said with a provocative tone, "Stinking brat, if I don't properly clean you up today, you won't know what is cyan and red, right?"
Zhang Jinming secretly clenched his fists. He originally did not plan to fight with this person today. After all, they had just arrived in this city, and were still not familiar with everything.
However, in the face of this fellow's overbearing attitude, he found it a bit hard to endure. Zhang Jinming was originally going to be angry, but behind him, Kou Xiaolin lightly pulled him. Zhang Jinming turned his head to look, only to see a look of fear and unease on Kou Xiaolin's face. Obviously, she was frightened by this person.
Zhang Jinming lightly patted her hand, signalling for her to calm down.
He suppressed his inner dissatisfaction, looked at the person in front of him, and said softly, "I didn't intentionally step on your foot just now, and you were the one who hurt me first. We are responsible for this matter, so please don't come looking for trouble. "
Zhang Jinming did not know how he said those words, but he was clear that if he could not take it lying down, the matter would become even worse. Before he knew the background of the man in front of him, Zhang Jinming did not want to make a move.
"Hmph, where the hell did your tough tone go? Now you want to retreat? I'm telling you, there's no way." The man said with a sinister look in his eyes, and punched Zhang Jinming ruthlessly.
Seeing that, Zhang Jinming's figure shrunk, and he anxiously dodged.
The man saw that he was dodging, and suddenly threw a punch at Kou Xiaolin.
Zhang Jinming never thought that this fellow would be so despicable. He went forward and grabbed the fist that almost hit Kou Xiaolin's face and flung it to the side.
"What kind of man are you to actually make a move on a girl?" "If you have the guts, then come at me. I was the one who stepped on you just now."
"Oh? You're a bit stubborn, yet you still dare to admit to it. "Fine, I'll kill you." As the man spoke, he suddenly fished around his crotch and pulled out a fruit knife.
"Director Zhang, what should we do? Call the police." Kou Xiaolin worriedly shouted as she looked at the fierce-looking man.
"Call the police. Alright, let's report this as soon as possible." I'll show you what the police will do with it. " When the person heard this, he seemed to find it funny and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Zhang Jinming's heart could not help but thump, could it be that this person was the same as Ji Xiaogang, who was also from the second generation, and also had the same father as the head of the Public Security Bureau? However, he felt that the probability of this happening was rather low. However, even if it wasn't, the fact that this person said such words showed that he must have a very deep background.
He wanted to test the waters, so he said with a smile, "Looks like you're still a tyrant in Xin City. Could it be that the Xin City's mayor is your father?"
"Cut the crap, I think it's best if you go to the underworld and ask the King of Hell about this question." The man cursed ferociously and suddenly stabbed forward with his fruit knife.
"Be careful!" Zhang Jinming quickly pulled Kou Xiaolin and dodged to the side. In the end, she was a bit too slow, and her arm was cut.
In an instant, blood gushed out.
Kou Xiaolin began to cry in fear and anxiety as she helped to hold on to his arms in a fluster. Director Zhang, will something happen to your arm? "
"You were lucky last time. This time, I will cut open your belly." As the man spoke, he suddenly charged forward again with the fruit knife in his hand.
Zhang Jinming secretly cursed in his heart, and when he saw him rushing over, Zhang Jinming suddenly kicked fiercely at his chest.
The man screamed and staggered. He fell to the ground and the knife fell to the ground.
"Fuck you! Are you tired of living? You dare to attack me?" That person cursed and got up awkwardly. He grabbed his fruit knife and was about to rush over.
At this moment, someone screamed and ran over, "Young Master Shi, something bad has happened."
When that person walked over, the youth immediately slapped him and cursed, "What the f * ck are you yelling so urgently for? What bullsh * t happened to make you so anxious?"
That person didn't even get angry after being slapped, instead, he came over and whispered to him.
The young man's expression changed as he said uneasily, "What? Is it true?" "Damn it, you dare to lay your hands on an old man like me? You must be tired of living."
As he said that, he turned to glance at Zhang Jinming, and coldly said, "Consider yourself lucky today. This old man still has matters to take care of. However, as long as you stay in Xin City for a day, this old one will not let you live a good life. "
