"What are you doing? Do you know who you're talking to?" When Foreman Zhang saw this, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly stepped forward and shouted at him.
He hadn't expected Liu Ming and the other two to return so quickly, and their reaction was surprisingly direct.
At this moment, Secretary Zhu and his entourage were in high spirits.
If this person were to disturb Secretary Zhu and his entourage's mood, then his decision to bring over this bottle of wine would likely leave a very bad impression on them.
Thinking this, Foreman Zhang became even more anxious and annoyed by Lin Yun's behavior.
"You took my wine without permission, and you're asking me why?" Lin Yun turned his head and looked coldly at Supervisor Zhang, saying.
Hearing Lin Yun's words, Foreman Zhang's expression changed again, but at this moment, he couldn't say anything. He quickly looked at Liu Ming behind Lin Yun, winked at him, and said, "Liu Ming, is this your friend? He's ignorant, but aren't you ignorant too? I thought this bottle of wine was good, so I brought it over for Secretary Zhu to taste. If this wine tastes good, I'll recommend it to the boss for mass production at Wangxianlou. As a member of Wangxianlou, this is what you should do. Is there a problem?"
In his words, he not only took the blame for taking a liking to the bottle of wine, but also emphasized Secretary Zhu's identity.
Secretary Zhu has visited Wangxianlou more than once or twice. On the previous visits, many employees of Wangxianlou came to watch. How could Liu Ming not recognize him?
He was already extremely anxious after seeing Lin Yun say such harsh things.
However, the wine did indeed belong to Lin Yun, and he didn't know what to say.
"Brother Lin, this is Secretary Zhu from our county..." Upon hearing Foreman Zhang's words, Liu Ming could only look at Lin Yun and say with a flushed face.
Lin Yun's reaction made Secretary Zhu frown slightly, feeling quite dissatisfied.
It's a really unpleasant feeling to touch someone else's wine without permission and then be scolded by the owner.
He harbored some resentment towards Foreman Zhang.
But Zhang's words and Liu Ming's reaction calmed him down a lot.
Well, the other party didn't know his identity, so their reaction is understandable.
Given the other person's young age and impulsive personality, it's understandable.
Now that they know his identity, perhaps they should be afraid?
Perhaps they would even be very excited because these people have taken a liking to his wine?
hehe.
He had encountered similar situations many times and was very experienced in handling them.
"Hehe, Xiao Zhang, don't scare these young men. We are public servants, not man-eating tigers. In truth, it was our fault for taking their wine without their permission..." Thinking this, Secretary Zhu said with a smile, appearing very magnanimous.
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yun kindly, making himself appear very approachable.
Next, the other party might act extremely apprehensive, and he might act even more... Then, he might invite these young people to dinner... This incident might become a legendary tale?
At this moment, he seemed to have already foreseen the final outcome of this matter.
"Haha, that's right, we were in the wrong, Xiao Zhang, please don't blame them..."
"Xiao Zhang, there's something wrong with what you just said. I have to say something to you..."
Several officials around Secretary Zhu spoke with smiles.
They were all long-time government officials, so they knew exactly what to say at this moment.
They seemed to admit their mistake, but in their banter, it was as if the other party was the one who had done wrong, and they were all a magnanimous group of people.
The awkwardness from before vanished completely.
They all seemed to have guessed the ending.
However, reality disappointed them.
"Private property is sacred and inviolable. Does our county secretary have the right to touch other people's wine at will?" Lin Yun said calmly.
"Or are you saying you've gotten used to touching other people's things without permission?" Lin Yun then looked coldly at the group of people at the table.
Because of the tricycle incident, he had no goodwill towards the higher-ups in Xianyuan County.
He is no longer the same person he used to be, so why should he give these people face?
As soon as Lin Yun spoke, the scene fell silent.
"you--"
Foreman Zhang stared wide-eyed at Lin Yun, utterly incredulous.
He never expected that the other party would dare to say such a thing after knowing that Secretary Zhu was sitting at the table.
The expressions on Secretary Zhu's face also turned grim, with a hint of gloom flashing deep in Secretary Zhu's eyes.
Private property is sacred and inviolable.
I've gotten into the habit of touching other people's things without permission.
In reality, no one would dare say such a thing to him.
However, he also goes online, and during this time, he has seen many similar posts in the Xianyuan County community.
Lin Yun's words hit his sore spot directly, as if exposing his weakness, instantly worsening his mood.
Zhao Gang and Liu Ming were both stunned.
They never expected that Lin Yun would dare to say such things to these high-ranking officials of Xianyuan County, including even their highest-ranking official, Secretary Zhu.
"How much is this bottle of wine? I'll pay double." Foreman Zhang's expression changed several times, and soon, his face darkened as he said in a deep voice.
He has ulterior motives behind his words.
This incident has given Secretary Zhu and his entourage a bad impression.
However, there is still a chance for things to turn around.
Judging from the reactions of Secretary Zhu and his entourage while drinking, and even Lin Yun's current reaction, he realized that this bottle of wine must be quite valuable.
Buying double the amount might cost him a lot of money, but considering how much he's spending, Secretary Zhu and his entourage might change their opinion of him.
They might even remember a favor they did for him.
I don't expect him to do me a favor; I just want to avoid having a bad impression of him.
He really didn't want to lose the admiration and high regard that his relatives and friends had for him.
"Young man, it seems you've misunderstood us. But what Xiao Zhang said is what we should do. How much is this bottle of wine? Just name your price, and we'll buy it for double. Consider it an apology to you," Secretary Zhu said calmly.
His tone was indifferent, a far cry from his previous friendliness.
Several officials around Secretary Zhu shook their heads.
This young man is really incompetent.
Perhaps the bottle of wine is quite valuable, which might explain why the young man is so angry.
But compared to befriending them, what is the value of this bottle of wine?
This young man can drink such good wine, so his family must have some assets. Secretary Zhu is the highest-ranking official in their county, and they are all high-ranking officials in Xianyuan County. The other party is taking advantage of their good mood to make one or two requests. As long as they agree, how could they possibly get the value of a bottle or two of wine?
Most importantly, it might lead to a relationship that money can't buy.
Unfortunately, he missed a great opportunity and instead offended a group of people, especially Secretary Zhu. If they find out what this young man's family does, they shouldn't blame him for being impolite.
This young man is still too young; he probably hasn't had much experience in society.
This young man is going to cause trouble for his father.
“This bottle of wine is not something an ordinary person is qualified to buy. It has already been touched by you, and I don’t want it anymore. It’s only right that you buy it twice!” Lin Yun nodded slightly and said.
"Hehe, how much? You name it."
"The drinks we just had weren't just for Secretary Zhu; we all had some too. Secretary Zhu doesn't need to pay; we'll pay for it. Just name a number, and if one of us can't afford it, we'll all chip in!"
Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, a group of officials around Secretary Zhu laughed in exasperation.
This young man is really giving him too much credit!
Fine, I'll let you be smug for now, but you'll have your day later!
We'll give you whatever amount of money we give you now, and you'll have to pay us back double later!
Ordinary people are not qualified to buy it, so it is only right that they buy it twice. You are qualified to buy this kind of wine, but we are not qualified to buy this kind of wine. You are very powerful.
We've already touched it, and you don't want it anymore? Damn it, we didn't mind that you touched it when we were drinking it, that's already being kind of us, and now you're turning around and blaming us, that's just awful.
Most of these people had been working in government for many years and were quite shrewd; at this moment, they all wanted to curse.
"Since you put it that way, that's for the best. I won't cheat you. We've already had some of this wine, so you can have 20 million!" Lin Yun said calmly.
