Interesting bookstore …
(Since 2012, when I stayed in Chengdu for more than half a year, I would go to Chengdu every year. This was also the reason why I wrote about Chengdu. I really liked this city. I had originally planned to go to Chengdu after the New Year. After Zhao Lei's Chengdu caught fire, I wanted to go even more, but my body had collapsed. Of course, there are other reasons as well. The second reason is that I like Zhao Lei. I love him from the bottom of my heart. In 2009, I listened to Zhao Lei with him. His first song was Southern Girl. Later on, I would sing this song every time I went to KTV. Of course, there are other reasons as well. The second reason is the song about my dreams. As I get older, I am getting further and further away from what I wanted to do in the beginning. I often get caught up in contradictions. I need to take this time to recuperate and think about what I should do in the future. Actually, I am just like all of you. I am just an ordinary person who often gets caught up in contradictions. I am troubled by all sorts of trivial matters. Recently, I just want to recuperate, read more books, and work hard to stabilize my updates.
Qin Sheng's knee strike directly made Chen Xiangyang lie in the puddle and unable to get up. Qin Sheng did not use all his strength, otherwise, a few of his ribs would have been broken.
Qin Sheng left, just like that.
Chen Xiangyang stared at Qin Sheng's back, as if he had not come back to his senses. He did not expect that an ordinary receptionist would actually have such amazing skills. Even he was not a match for him. Perhaps only when he was at his peak could he suppress Qin Sheng. It was a pity that his body had long collapsed. He wanted to vent his anger, but he was humiliated instead. Chen Xiangyang's gaze was extremely sinister. He felt that everyone was forcing him, that the whole world was bullying him. Since they did not let him have an easy time, he would not let them have an easy time either.
When the security guard at the door saw this scene, he was stunned and did not dare to come out to stop them. After all, Chen Xiangyang used to be their boss and treated them quite well. However, it was not right for him to find trouble with Qin Sheng. After all, everyone knew that he was involved. He would have to leave sooner or later because of drugs and gambling.
In the monitoring room, when the person in charge saw this scene, he immediately contacted Xu Lancheng and told him what was going on. Xu Lancheng hurriedly ran to the monitoring room. At this time, it was already over. Qin Sheng had just returned to the changing room to change his clothes.
"Replay," Xu Lancheng said with a gloomy face. He could easily guess that Chen Xiangyang must have thought that Qin Sheng was the one who told on him and that Qin Sheng had taken the blame for no reason. Poor kid.
The security guard in charge of monitoring immediately replayed the scene just now. At first, Xu Lancheng's face was gloomy, but in the end, his eyes lit up. Especially after Qin Sheng defeated Chen Xiangyang without any hesitation, he was really surprised. He did not expect Qin Sheng's skills to be so powerful. Although Chen Xiangyang's body had collapsed, he still had some skills. It was definitely no problem for him to deal with ordinary characters. Xu Lancheng finally understood why Jiang Xianbang arranged for Qin Sheng to enter Shangshan Ruoshui. If nothing went wrong, Qin Sheng might take over his position in the future. Then what should he do at that time?
Thinking of this, Xu Lancheng smiled. He was really worrying for nothing. The big boss would definitely make arrangements. Moreover, he had made a lot of connections here. Many people offered high prices to poach him. It was only because of the big boss's appreciation that he stayed in Shangshan Ruoshui. Otherwise, he would have changed places long ago.
"I don't want others to know about this," Xu Lancheng said to the security guards in the monitoring room after watching the replay.
After returning to his office, Xu Lancheng did not dare to hide it. He was afraid that if he did not say it, the big boss would know and punish him. So he quickly called the big boss.
At this time, Jiang Xianbang was on the way to the airport. He received a call from Xu Lancheng because he wanted to ask about the new security manager. He whispered, "Old Xu, what's the matter?"
Xu Lancheng truthfully reported the scene that had just happened to Jiang Xianbang. After listening, Jiang Xianbang fell into deep thought and did not speak for a long time. Xu Lancheng waited with fear.
After a while, Jiang Xianbang said slowly, "This Chen Xiangyang is really bold. Does he think that I am a vegetarian?"
"Mr. Jiang, what should I do?" Xu Lancheng asked cautiously.
Although Jiang Xianbang and Qin Sheng usually laughed and quarreled without scruples, in the eyes of Xu Lancheng and the others, Jiang Xianbang was ruthless. The most important thing was that he had too many connections. Otherwise, if he asked for leniency, would Third Master Wu give him face?
"Since he dared to do this, he may do other things. After so many years in Shangshan Ruoshui, he knows too many things that he should not know. So let him close his eyes, in case he hurts too many people," Jiang Xianbang said lightly. In this way, Chen Xiangyang's fate was decided.
Xu Lancheng's face changed slightly, but he did not dare to ask for leniency. He just said, "Okay, I will inform them to do it."
"Well, tell me when you are done. Don't have any accidents. I am hanging up." Jiang Xianbang nodded. He had been involved in a lot of bloodshed. He had long-term partners, but he never showed up. Xu Lancheng was responsible for everything.
Chen Xiangyang certainly did not know that from the moment he looked for Qin Sheng, the ending was already doomed. Jiang Xianbang would never allow anyone to threaten him or Qin Sheng, not to mention a small role like Chen Xiangyang.
Qin Sheng got off work late today. The member who had a banquet did not leave until eight o 'clock. Because Ms. An specially asked Lyu Yuan and Qin Sheng to be responsible for it, Qin Sheng could only be busy.
But to his surprise, when he returned to the new home of Shilin Huayuan, Hao Lei and Chang Baji had not come back yet. So Qin Sheng called them and asked what was going on.
Hao Lei said that there was a banquet in Guoping Group tonight. The creditors and investors of Guoping Group were all there. Han Bing, who was still a shareholder of Guoping Group in the future, naturally had to attend, so the two of them had to work overtime.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Sheng had nothing to do, so he wandered around the neighborhood. After all, this would be the place where he would live in the future. He wanted to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment, such as where there was a supermarket, where there was a vegetable market, where there was a place to eat and drink, and where there was a big health care and bath center. Of course, this was a joke. Qin Sheng did not like this kind of thing.
After walking around for an hour, there was everything that should be around. After all, this was a bustling downtown area. However, Qin Sheng found an interesting bookstore on the roadside. There were no magazines or bestsellers in the bookstore. All kinds of books were published at least two years ago. There were many kinds of books, but most of them were about humanities, history and philosophy. The bookstore was not big, and there was only one male cashier and two female clerks. Qin Sheng knew that this bookstore must be losing money. He did not know whether the boss was stupid or something, or he had some feelings. After all, many things nowadays depended on feelings.
When Qin Sheng went in, the cashier smiled at him politely. Two young female clerks shouted, "Welcome!"
"Sir, what kind of books do you want to buy? I can recommend some to you." The younger female clerk asked politely. She made Qin Sheng feel a kind of book fragrance, but he did not know whether it was because of the environment.
Whether it was shopping or buying things, Qin Sheng did not like waiters to disturb him, so he politely refused, "Thank you, I will look at it myself first."
"Well, you can call me if you need anything," the female clerk said with a smile, and then left to do her own thing.
Therefore, Qin Sheng began to look around the whole bookstore. The decoration was very old-fashioned, but it felt good. Unlike the modern bookstores that were bright and beautiful like high-end shopping malls, there were books everywhere. There were a lot of books on the ground, and many of them were old books. Qin Sheng guessed that this bookstore also received books, but there were no decorations. There were a lot of small stools, obviously for people to stay and read.
Humanities, history, and philosophy accounted for most of the books, followed by finance, technology, nature, medicine, and so on. Qin Sheng walked around for about half an hour, looking through each category in detail. In the end, Qin Sheng chose a history book, "Wanli 15th Year", a finance book, "The Big Short", and a philosophy book, "The Social Contract Theory". These three books had a big gap.
Therefore, when it was time to pay, the slightly younger female clerk stared at Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng could not help but ask, "What's wrong?"
The female clerk was cute. She laughed and said, "You read a lot of books."
"A lot of things, but not good, so I can achieve nothing," Qin Sheng said half-jokingly.
The female clerk pouted and said, "Nonsense, I think people who like to read will succeed sooner or later."
"What is success? So what if you succeed? Most righteous people are dog butchers, most heartless people are scholars, "Qin Sheng said with a little sigh.
The female clerk said disapprovingly, "How old are you? You talk like an uncle in his 40s or 50s. People should live more optimistically, so that they can be happy."
"Xiao Le!" The cashier stared at the female clerk and shouted. Then he smiled at Qin Sheng and said, "50 yuan in total."
"So cheap?" Qin Sheng was very surprised. Three books only cost 50 yuan. Alas, the publishing industry is getting harder and harder. No wonder so many people are willing to spend tens of thousands of yuan on eating and entertainment, but are unwilling to spend tens of yuan to buy a book. This is an era of fragmented information, how sad.
The female clerk called Xiao Le replied, "Because two of your books are old, so it is cheap. We are different from other bookstores here."
"Can you make money? I'm really afraid that the next time I come, you will all be closed, "Qin Sheng said casually. After saying that, he felt that it was inappropriate.
Xiao Le stared at Qin Sheng and said, "You really have a crow's mouth. Can't you say something nice? Really, our boss is very rich. You can rest assured that unless our boss goes bankrupt, it is impossible for our bookstore to close."
"No wonder." With such an explanation, Qin Sheng understood. It seemed that there was a story, otherwise, who could afford to pay for it?
After giving the money and taking the books, Qin Sheng said thank you and then left.
Not long after he returned to Shilin Huayuan, Chang Baji and Hao Lei came back, but they dragged Han Bing along. Because Han Bing drank too much tonight, no one took care of her, Chang Baji and Hao Lei could only drag her here on their own.
There was no other way, Han Bing naturally had to face these things alone since Han Guoping was not around.
