After Andrew mentally prepared himself, he finally decided to go to the mysterious and powerful bookstore owner.
Although he knew that he had to visit this bookstore owner.
But as the vice president of the Truth Society who had taken a hostile attitude toward the bookstore and had implemented impure countermeasures against the bookstore several times in a row, and even provoked the Edge Operation, Andrew had to be careful.
It would be a lie if Andrew said that he wasn't nervous and worried.
Every time he thought of his past actions, he would break out in a cold sweat.
With the strength that the bookstore owner named Lin Jie had shown so far, he could kill Andrew with just a thought.
Even though he roughly knew that his previous impulsive actions were actually due to Zerom's control and bewitchment, he still didn't know what to do.
Andrew felt that it was because of this that Lin Jie never cared about his repeated offenses. Because all of this was done under the influence of Zerom's mind, not his own will.
But before he talked to the bookstore owner, these were all his own guesses.
What if the bookstore owner temporarily forgot about Andrew, a "small character", and planned to deal with him later?
Wouldn't he be courting death if he took the initiative? Remember: http://m.9biquge.com
But Andrew had no choice.
No matter how tangled and hesitant he was, he had almost no real power now. Any order issued had to go through layers of review, and he was greatly restrained.
And as long as Zerom, the mole, was there during the review, he could easily control some people with his drugs that could affect people's minds. All of Andrew's plans could be easily blocked.
Andrew suspected that Damon, the other vice president who was on the same level as him, was also affected. After all, Zerom showed great ambition.
The person behind him gave him great confidence and made him delusional to think that it was possible to control the Truth Society …
President Maria was not here at this time.
In short, if he wanted to get out of this situation, the only way now was to find the owner of the bookstore who was very resourceful.
However, he didn't expect that after he officially met the bookstore owner, who he regarded as a life-saving straw, the first sentence he heard was, "Who are you?"
Andrew fell into silence.
His first thought was' I'm done for. '
Then, his heart skipped a beat as his thoughts flew. "He has the title of 'omniscient and omnipotent'. If he had forgotten about me before I came, it would barely make sense. Now that I'm right in front of him, it would be a blatant lie for him not to know who I am."
"So, there's only one possibility for him to act like he doesn't know me. He's just pretending!"
"And there seems to be only one reason for him to do this —"
"He doesn't intend to accept my apology!"
Andrew's heart sank to the bottom.
"Is my guess wrong? It's not that he doesn't care about me, or that he doesn't want to pursue the matter because he knows the reason. Instead, he wants to stand by and not help me … Does he want to see me struggle miserably in this predicament?"
He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, feeling completely disheartened. "This is really the unique bad taste of a person of high status …"
"But … no!"
A thought suddenly flashed through Andrew's mind. "He just said welcome and didn't reject me. What does this mean? It means that he treats me as a customer! "
"Thinking about it from another perspective, he refuses to accept my apology. Does he think that I don't need to apologize because what happened before was all Zerom's fault, not mine?"
"He wants me to talk to him as a customer who enters the bookstore for the first time. This is giving me a chance to start over!"
"But now … he's still observing. He must want to see if I'm sincere enough. Hahaha, fortunately, I've made sufficient investigations before and am well prepared!"
The flame of hope reappeared in front of Andrew. He turned from sorrow to joy. Then, he suddenly raised his head and was stunned.
"Wait … Does he know what I'm thinking now?"
"Isn't that as funny as running naked in front of others …"
Andrew's face was like constipation. His expression kept changing for a long time. The more he looked at Lin Jie's faint smile, the more he felt that his heart had been completely controlled by him.
His thoughts and calculations were as funny as a clown's, and his strength was extremely weak.
Andrew increasingly felt that he was hopelessly stupid at that time.
Lin Jie looked at the customer in front of him who had been silent for a long time and slowly typed a question mark: "…"
Why is this customer so strange …
He didn't seem to want to buy books. First, he inexplicably apologized. Then, he stayed in place for a long time with a struggling expression. One moment, he looked as if he had lost his parents. The next moment, he was elated. It was as if he had hysteria.
He clearly looked like a pretentious person. According to Lin Jie's experience, he was most likely an old scumbag. Why did he act like he was the one who was abandoned and had a mental breakdown?
Lin Jie felt that this guy looked at him like he was looking at the dean.
And he was the student who was caught playing with his phone in class.
Moreover, it was the kind of person who was publicly executed for surfing a certain website that started with the word 'p'.
Although this metaphor was a bit strange, Lin Jie did feel a subtle sense of shame and anger …
"Customer?"
Lin Jie coughed twice and decided to break the awkward situation first. He said politely, "May I ask what you're talking about? If it has nothing to do with me, then I won't accept it. "
Andrew had calmed down at this time. Hearing this, his eyes lit up, and then his expression became solemn.
This question … was a test!
The owner of the bookstore completely knew his inner thoughts and perceived his sincerity, so he gave him a chance to apologize and confess.
If he could successfully be forgiven, he could logically get closer to the owner of the bookstore.
The condition of this question was related to the owner of the bookstore.
The only time he had maliciously contacted the owner of the bookstore under Zerom's plot was when he asked the "Know-It-All" scholars to come to the bookstore and "make trouble"!
Andrew said carefully, "Do you still remember Hood and the others?"
Lin Jie was stunned. He recalled and then suddenly realized, "Those bastards who broke into my bookstore in the middle of the night to steal things. Why … are you their parents? Are you here to apologize for this? "
He had almost forgotten those guys. If he was here to apologize for this, it was indeed right.
"It's like this."
Andrew breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed the first test. He continued, "I'm the vice president of the Truth Society. In theory, I'm their boss. Hood's aunt is President Maria, so it's not wrong to say that I'm their parent."
Lin Jie nodded, indicating that he understood.
Seeing Lin Jie nod, Andrew was moved to tears. He took a deep breath, took out a small exquisite enameled silver box from his arms, and put it on the table.
"This is a gift I prepared for you. I hope you can forgive me …"
He carefully opened the silver box, and a small mechanical device that looked like a clock slowly unfurled inside.

PS: After another busy day, I finally found the artist for Boss Lin's character design. The work will start in November. I hope it can be completed within the year.
The cat, worm, and beast design has been completed. (I added some details, but don't mind it.) It's very cute. If you haven't seen it yet, please refresh later ~
