Promise!

Chapter 70, Knock

Zhuang Jin used his strength to force Gao Shi to the ground, causing him to roll over and over again. He looked quite embarrassed, but in fact he was not seriously injured. He just pretended to be in pain and shouted loudly, "Someone from the Shen family?!"

"Bastards from the Medicine King Gang!" The others who followed also saw and identified the other warriors from the Medicine King Gang, especially Jiang Wei, who was extremely excited at this time, his eyes were red, and he seemed to want to rush up to take revenge.

Next to them, Pan Zimo and Du Yunqi quickly grabbed Jiang Wei.

The two Medicine King Gang warriors on the second floor also hurried down upon hearing Gao Shi's voice.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhang, they are from the Shen family!" Gao Shi got up, smiled apologetically, bent over, and stood behind the two of them.

Seeing Gao Shi like this, Zhou Yuan showed a look of disgust on his face, while the warrior named Zhang looked like he was watching the fun, but since there were outsiders around, they all turned their heads to look over.

Zhuang Jin took in the reactions of the two men and suddenly locked onto Zhou Yuan, thinking that it was the other party who kicked Gao Shi down. Thinking of the stubborn and stubborn Gao Shi in the past, he could not show any resentment and act in a flattering manner after being insulted and beaten in person. He felt that Gao Shi had changed a lot.

When Zhou Yuan and the warrior surnamed Zhang saw Zhuang Jin and his group, especially the three lines on the shoulders of Zhuang Jin and the other three, a hint of fear appeared in their eyes.

"Let's go!" They turned around and went to a private room.

"Brother Zhuang, it's not a good time to cause trouble today." Ke Jingxing also came up and spoke.

The implication was that if Zhuang Jin wanted to avenge the collision he had just suffered, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future and there was no need to rush.

Zhuang Jin nodded, said nothing, and went to the private room that had been booked long ago.

There is no trouble between the two sides.

Here, Gao Shi followed Zhou Yuan and the warrior surnamed Zhang out, then turned back to glance at Zhuang Jin with a complicated expression: "Are you already a three-class warrior now? You've really become the 'expert' you were once called, but I..."

When he thought of this, a hint of forbearance and determination appeared in his eyes. Everyone is different from before... It's really, really good!

……

Private room.

Zhuang Jin, Ke Jingxing, Song Jie and others came in and sat down in order of importance. The positions were naturally very particular. As a team leader and one of the only three people in the field, Zhuang Jin sat in a position slightly above the others. The top and best position was naturally reserved for Duan Zhenshou.

From Ke Jingxing, he already knew that the street guard of Furong Street was named Duan Tao, who was a real fourth-class realm.

A moment later, a middle-aged man in a black coat, who looked to be in his thirties or forties and had a slightly yellow face, came in. He gave people the impression that he was not talkative and was a deep person.

As this person arrived, veterans like Ke Jingxing and Song Jie immediately stood up. Newcomers like Zhuang Jin who came this month also immediately recognized the person's identity and stood up one after another.

Duan Tao nodded slightly, took the seat at the top without hesitation, and then asked everyone else to sit down as well. Then everyone sat down again.

At this moment, he glanced around and looked at Zhuang Jin, saying with a forced smile, "Zhuang Jin, right? I heard that you participated in the martial arts recruitment and joined my Shen family. It only took four months for you to break through the three realms. Now you are almost completing the accumulation of the three realms, right? You are truly a young genius. Your arrival here is a real honor for my humble Furong Street!"

Zhuang Jin was very sharp-minded and would not consider this as a compliment.

"A show of force?"

He saw the veiled look from Ke Jingxing, nodded slightly, and stood up. He didn't say that he wasn't a genius, which made people feel hypocritical. He just said, "I do have some talent, but it's mostly due to the praise of others. I'm lucky to come to Furong Street this month and work under the garrison commander. I offer a toast to you!" "Okay!"

As Zhuang Jin stood up and said this, Ke Jingxing immediately said "OK", then stood up to help pour the wine. At the same time, he secretly admired Zhuang Jin's beautiful words. First, he acknowledged his talent in a humble and unpretentious manner, showing his own value, and then said "others praised him", implying that he could get along well with his colleagues, and then toasted to show his obedience.

Qian Wende's eyes lit up when he heard this. He gave Zhuang Jin a thumbs up in his heart, thinking that he was worthy of being Brother Zhuang!
The other dozen or so people reacted differently. Another team leader, Song Jie, could naturally hear the meaning of the words. He looked up in surprise, not expecting Zhuang Jin to be able to deal with it so calmly. Some of the second-level and first-level warriors seemed to be thinking about something, some had smiles on their faces, and some were confused and didn't understand what was going on.

Duan Tao took a deep look at Zhuang Jin and sighed, "There is really no false reputation under such a great name." Zhuang Jin has such a reputation, he is indeed a wise man and a real person.

To say that he came here just to warn and intimidate, it's natural that he was a little jealous of Zhuang Jin's qualifications, but as a street guard, he wouldn't be so emotional. It was more to make one point: no matter how talented you are, no matter how talented you are, you are now under my command and must obey orders and follow instructions.

Now that Zhuang Jin's attitude is clear, he is not a fool or a thorn, so there is no need to criticize or torture him too much, which saves a lot of trouble.

"Yes, you are a sensible person. In the future, if you work hard in Furong Street, you will have your own benefits." Duan Tao nodded slightly.

"After the compliance test, is it just empty promises?"

Zhuang Jin understood this and was naturally good at acting. He pretended to be grateful and drank three cups by himself: "Thank you for your care, Lord, I will remember it in my heart."

When Duan Tao saw Zhuang Jin's action and heard his statement, his expression softened. As a seasoned man, how could he not understand that Zhuang Jin was expressing that if he achieved something in the future, he would not forget the friendship they had today.

In this way, the gains and losses are already very obvious.

Zhuang Jin is extremely talented and there is no conflict of interest, so naturally an enemy is not as good as a friend. In fact, Zhuang Jin's future success and ability will also be due to Duan Tao's good leadership. He will be proud of it. If he can show a little kindness to Zhuang Jin, the other party will remember this favor, which will become a favor and a connection in the future.

Duan Tao naturally knew how to choose and slowed down his attitude. Zhuang Jin was tactful, and there were also old people like Ke Jingxing who helped to mediate, and Qian Wende who was willing to stand on Zhuang Jin's side, which livened up the atmosphere and made the meal a great success for both the host and the guests.

After dinner, they drew lots here to determine the order of night duty. Zhuang Jin was lucky and drew a good lot, which meant that he would be on duty after Ke Jingxing and Song Jie's team. The first time was on the night of the third day of the New Year.

Afterwards, the group left.

Just as Zhuang Jin and the others were leaving, in another private room of Jinhua Tower, Zhuang Yuyong stood up with a smile on his face and greeted someone: "Master Yu Xiang..."

……

In the afternoon, come back after dinner.

"The four realms are indeed different. Such a powerful aura, but fortunately, I will be one too!"

Zhuang Jin was tolerant at noon because he was under the consideration that he was under Duan Tao, a higher-ranking official who was very powerful and it was not easy to offend him. Although he would break through the fourth classic in a day or two, he had not broken through yet after all.

"I have a feeling that the breakthrough is very likely to happen today, but there's also a small chance it will be delayed until tomorrow. By then, the draw hasn't started yet, so who knows what day I'll be assigned to the night shift? What if it's the first day of the month? If I offend Duan Tao and get harassed and prevented from covering for him, then it's probably still a three-year-old situation. Going out for the night shift would be too much of a loss."

Zhuang Jin shook his head slightly, without thinking any more, and continued practicing in the afternoon until almost Youshi, when he felt a familiar feeling of slight swelling in his meridians.
