After saying this, Lin Huowang planned to close the door and send the guests away.
But Zhong Xiaojun quickly blocked the door, revealing a pitiful expression of pleading: "No! Master Awang, just help me this time, okay? You heard it too, just now downstairs, I was bragging to them that I have a good relationship with you, the great hero.
If I can't even invite you downstairs to get to know me now, how embarrassed I'd be when I go back!
Originally, this group of people came all the way from the capital, and as a landlord, I should receive them well. Can you please do it for Mengmeng's sake? Help me."
"well!"
Seeing that Zhong Xiaojun was so humble, he brought Liu Rumeng out again.
Lin Huowang was also helpless. Thinking that he was just going to meet someone, he softened his heart and agreed.
"Okay! But I have to make it clear first. I'll just go down and meet them and have a few words. I won't try to please them like you do.
If they make any excessive demands or actions, I will turn around and leave. Don't blame me for not giving you face then."
After putting on his coat, Lin Huowang closed the door and followed Zhong Xiaojun downstairs as he had been told.
"Thank you! Thank you! Master Awang, just meet them. They also admire your heroic deeds, especially several girls. They have always respected and admired heroes the most. How could they embarrass you?"
When Zhong Xiaojun saw that Lin Huowang agreed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly led the way.
Yes!
Don’t be fooled by Zhong Xiaojun’s previous behavior of being so majestic and acting like he was the boss, but to put it bluntly, no matter how powerful he was, he was only the son of a regimental-level officer, and could only be considered a second-generation.
When he was in Shanghai, he was able to avoid being looked down upon or bullied thanks to the Liu family's network of connections.
But after being transferred to the Beijing Military Region, Zhong Xiaojun's father, Zhong Zhendong, the regiment commander, was not worth mentioning at all. Naturally, Zhong Xiaojun had to behave himself and dared not offend anyone.
He took Lin Huowang down the stairs and saw three men and two women dressed quite fashionably standing in front of the front desk on the first floor of the guesthouse.
The leader was the "Brother Zhao" who had just shouted loudly upstairs. When he saw Zhong Xiaojun coming downstairs with a young man who looked very young, he immediately showed a disdainful expression on his face.
He walked up to him, looked at Lin Huowang carefully for a few seconds, then narrowed his eyes and asked him condescendingly:
"Are you Lin Huowang, the hero who chased the fugitives yesterday? Are you over 20 years old? I see... you haven't even grown all your hair yet? Are you as amazing as people say? I think that's an exaggeration!"
"It's none of your business whether my hair has fully grown or not."
Since the other party was so rude, Lin Huowang naturally would not tolerate him and directly retorted.
Zhao immediately lost his temper, his face flushed with anger, and he pointed at Lin Huowang and yelled, "Alright, alright, alright! Who do you think you are? You just relied on your luck to catch a fugitive.
The people outside blindly worship you and praise you to the sky. Do you really think of yourself as a person or a hero?"
Next to him, the other two men symbolically stepped forward and pulled him.
One of the tall and thin men tried to smooth things over by saying, "Old Zhao, he is a hero who caught a fugitive after all, so please speak to him politely! Don't use your home manners here."
At the same time, he smiled and apologized to Lin Huowang: "I'm sorry! Comrade Lin Huowang, Lao Zhao has a straightforward personality and hates those who seek fame and reputation. So just now, seeing that you are so young, I doubted you and my tone was not very nice. I hope you can understand."
Then, he smiled and began to introduce: "My name is Xu Xiaodong, this is Zhao Mengsheng and Huang Xiaoli, and the two girls over there are Chen Jing and Xu Xiaoyun.
We came here for no other reason than to hear about your heroic deeds, and Zhong Xiaojun happened to say that he knew you, so we also wanted to get to know you and make friends."
"No problem! But I think it's quite novel for you to question whether your friend's hair has fully grown. "
Lin Huowang smiled. In fact, from the way these people were dressed and their looks, and then from hearing Xu Xiaodong introduce their names, he knew that their family backgrounds were truly remarkable.
Therefore, Lin Huowang didn't want to make friends with them, nor did he want to really offend them. He just wanted to deal with them quickly and go his separate ways.
Zhao Mengsheng was still angry when he heard Lin Huowang's words, and he said again: "Haha! Brother Xiaodong is being polite to you, but you really think you are a big shot? This is only in the Northeast. If you were in Beijing, a country bumpkin like you would not be qualified to see us no matter how great your achievements are."
"Old Zhao!"
Seeing that Zhao Mengsheng was talking too much, Xu Xiaodong quickly pulled him aside, then turned around to look at the two girls and said to them, "Xiao Jing, Xiao Yun, weren't you interested in the hero Lin Huowang along the way? How come you didn't say a word now that you actually saw him?"
"Brother Xiaodong, how can you be like this? We just admire heroes, we don't necessarily have to know them."
Chen Jing was a very quiet girl. After taking a look at Lin Huowang, she spoke a little shyly.
But another girl, Xu Xiaoyun, walked forward cheerfully, stretched out her hand, and smiled at Lin Huowang:
"Hello! Comrade Lin Huowang, congratulations on your success in catching the fugitive and winning a second-class merit. My name is Xu Xiaoyun, Xu as in permission, Xiao as in size, and Yun as in white cloud. I hope we can become friends, the kind of friends of revolutionary friendship."
"Comrade Xu Xiaoyun, hello! My name is Lin Huowang. In this case, from now on, we are friends."
