So … how did things turn out like this?
When Lin Jie put his arm around Miss Ji's waist and held her hand, awkwardly leading the first dance under the gaze of the crowd, he couldn't help but have such a question mark in his mind.
He could clearly feel the prying gazes of the guests around him that they thought were hidden or not hidden at all. He could also hear some whispers speculating about his background and identity. There were even some who directly went to beat around the bush and asked Fitchieda who had been with him before.
However, all of this was destined to be futile …
Because he, Lin Jie, was really just an ordinary bookstore owner. He had no power, no influence, and no money. He was a typical person without any of the three. Even his identity was fake.
There were indeed some people with extraordinary status among the bookstore's customers. For example, Cherry, who had forged an identity for him, was one of the three vice presidents of the Xingshu Chamber of Commerce. For example, Yue Sefu, who he often called to "harass", was the head of the Central Police Station's secret department. For example, Father Vincent, who had now become an excellent religious leader.
And for example … the most typical ones were Miss Ji, who was dancing with him now, and Ji Bonong, who could barely be considered half a customer.
But this didn't mean he was powerful.
Apart from having some insignificant superpowers, Boss Lin was just so ordinary.
Lin Jie shrugged in his mind. Then, he suddenly paused and raised his eyebrows. Attracting attention like this … was just barely. No, it was definitely a good thing.
— No, no, no, this was a great thing! The first website was m.9biquge. com
Whether it was out of curiosity or other thoughts, these guests had at least started to inquire about his background.
With these people's status, it should be easy to find out about Lin Jie's background.
Then they would know that this guy who was personally invited by Miss Ji for the first dance at the birthday party was the owner of a nameless bookstore, and Miss Ji was also one of his customers.
In this way, they would definitely want to know how such an ordinary bookstore could attract Ji Zhixu.
As everyone knew, bookstores sold books.
So naturally, what attracted Ji Zhixu was not the ordinary bookstore owner himself. It could only be the books in the store!
When the news of Luo Er Resources selling his books spread, Lin Jie's bookstore would definitely become famous.
In Nuo Jin, Luo Er Resources represented the trend of the entire market. All of the guests present were people who had made achievements in their respective fields. Since they had been invited by Ji Bonong, most of them were definitely fans of Luo Er Resources. When the time came, they would definitely act upon hearing the news.
In addition, these people were speculating about the relationship between him and Ji Zhixu. From the perspective of public opinion, it was very beneficial.
After all, there might not be many people interested in books, but there would definitely be a lot of people interested in gossip.
This time, the dealership sales had unexpectedly made a good start.
Lin Jie was happily thinking about how to better cut the green leeks in the hall, and what kind of effect the five books that were put up as an experiment would have.
If it was not good, which books should he change to for the next batch? But even if it was not good, because of Luo Er Resources, he would definitely be able to make a profit. If it was good, then should he maintain the strategy of hunger marketing, or should he simply train Mo En further and let her start preparing to open a chain store with the support of Luo Er Resources?
"Mr. Lin … Are you thinking of something happy?"
Ji Zhixu looked at Lin Jie, who was close at hand, and could not help but ask carefully in a low voice.
Although the young man had an obvious happy smile on his face, and looked like he was proudly showing off that he could dance with Miss Luo Er Resources, as the guests had guessed, in fact, his gaze did not fall on her at all. Instead, his eyes were empty, and he was obviously thinking about something else.
… Although it could be seen from his steps that Mr. Lin did not seem to be good at dancing — the 'not good at dancing' here did not mean that he did not know how to dance, but that his movements were very basic.
But to be able to complete the dance step without making any mistakes while being distracted, and at the same time avoid the crowd that was moving around and even taking the initiative to come here, it had to be said that he was indeed Boss Lin.
"Uh?"
Lin Jie blinked and came back to his senses. He pulled his thoughts back from the leek field and restrained the wanton smile on his face. Along with the music, he led Ji Zhixu in a half-circle and said in a low voice, "Oh, cough … I just thought of some green crops cultivation, sowing, and harvesting problems."
Ji Zhixu, "…?"
Miss Ji's expression was confused for a moment, but then she understood and nodded solemnly. "I didn't expect you to have some understanding in this field. You are really knowledgeable and knowledgeable that ordinary people can't reach."
She seemed to take it seriously. Lin Jie glanced at Ji Zhixu's expression and calmly put on an indifferent expression. "Not at all. It's just that I have too much free time, so I read a lot of books and have a good memory."
At first, Ji Zhixu was nervous about being in such close contact with Lin Jie, but now that she saw that his attitude was as usual, she became a little bolder and asked curiously, "Is your understanding of dancing also the same?"
Lin Jie hesitated for a moment. "Uh … a part of it."
He did not specifically learn how to dance, but he knew the basic dance steps.
Because when he was a simple scholar, he had to attend some high-end banquets and make friends with some people in order to do some sociology-related folklore research. In order to not make a fool of himself, he learned half by self-study and half by practice.
After transmigrating, he stayed in the bookstore for three years, so of course, he was unfamiliar with it.
He continued, "Humans are used to using books to record everything, including knowledge and skills."
"It can be said that books carry the wisdom of an entire race. Their function is to let people gain additional experience beyond their own experience. The more books they read, the more wisdom they accumulate. After reaching a certain level, they may look like an omniscient and omnipotent person. Knowledge is power. This saying is not for nothing."
That's why you must buy more books! — Lin Jie added in his heart.
Ji Zhixu nodded seriously, wondering if this was how Mr. Lin's power was reflected. However, this method was not suitable for ordinary people. "But for us, we also need to consider the limits of our individual wisdom …"
Her voice became lower and lower until she was almost mumbling. "Or rather … That's right, individual wisdom is ultimately limited. Perhaps using 'race' to gain 'race's wisdom' is a better choice."
Ever since that day in the bookstore when she was transformed into the last member of the great race that had disappeared from the universe, she had been thinking about the deeper meaning behind Mr. Lin's words.
At first, she thought that she could use the Yith's ability to perform absolute mind control. This way, there would not be any traitors in her faction. However, this went against her conscience, and she vaguely felt that this method was wrong and inefficient.
But now, Mr. Lin's words reminded her.
Lin Jie looked at her in surprise. "Using 'colony' to obtain 'colony's wisdom'. This idea is quite interesting. Perhaps it can be used in research on cultural integration. However, humans do not have absolute colony intelligence like ants, which is the so-called ant colony effect. Instead, they are a complete symbiotic intelligence. The role of an individual is also …"
Ji Zhixu's pupils constricted. She felt like the fog in her mind had been split open by lightning.
That's right, symbiotic!
She could totally make herself a clan!
