After Lin Jie and Ji Zhixu finished chatting and saying their goodbyes, Lin Jie politely declined Ji Zhixu's request to send him to his room to rest. After watching her leave, Fitch and Yeda, who had been waiting in the corner, finally dared to come up and talk to him.
Lin Jie turned his head and suddenly said, "Ah, it's you two. Sorry, I was talking to Miss Ji just now..."
"No, no, no. It's fine, it's fine. Your business is more important."
Fitch hurriedly waved his hands. He secretly observed Lin Jie's face, which was still wearing a gentle smile, and couldn't help but feel his heart tremble...
But now, he was completely sure — this guy was really the main culprit!
Whether it was the "lightning" that cut through the sky or the "earthquake" later, because of the obvious destruction of the Fred family just now, he could be 100% sure that it was definitely him who did it!
How powerful this guy who claimed to be the owner of an ordinary bookstore was could be seen from Ji Zhixu's attitude.
Those guests, because of Ji Zhixu's natural status advantage, had a preconceived notion of her attitude, and might have misunderstood it. They might have thought that she was just being polite.
But Wanderer Fitch was used to seeing fawning and groveling insignificant people, so he was very sensitive to what was real respect and what was fake politeness.
Ji Zhixu definitely treated Lin Jie as a superior!
He made up his mind to hug the thickest thigh present, so he very actively stepped forward and said, "Uh... Mr. Lin, since today's ball is over, would you like to go back to the rest area together? I just asked the servant next to me, and the male guests are all arranged to be on the third floor. Also, I remember that according to the number on the invitation, our rooms are quite close to each other. Why don't we go together since it's on the way? "
In fact, Lin Jie had only taken out the invitation twice, so how could he have seen the number on it clearly?
Fitch was just looking for an excuse to go with Lin Jie.
Yelda hesitated for a moment. In the end, he still felt that the unknown young man in front of him was too dangerous and should not be approached.
Although she was personally very curious about this type of extraordinary power, after calming down and thinking about it, she had to be responsible for her family and seek more benefits for their safety. She could not bear the large amount of risks that might arise.
In comparison, it was more stable to win over those who would definitely be of help to the family in the future.
Yeda lifted her skirt slightly and bowed. She revealed a polite smile and said, "I still have some matters to attend to, so I have to leave first. I'm very sorry... However, if Mr. Lin has any needs, you can contact me at any time."
She took out a business card and handed it to Lin Jie as a personal gesture of goodwill.
Their expressions were even more cautious than before. Although they tried their best to appear natural, they still showed some caution.
Unlike the other guests who didn't know the truth, the two of them already knew that Lin Jie was unusual from the very beginning. Now, it was just a deeper impression.
Lin Jie took the business card and smiled. "It's alright. You're welcome to patronize my bookstore."
After Yelda left, Fitch eagerly took on the role of guide and led the way for Lin Jie.
Although Lin Jie had a special invitation from Miss Ji, she was well aware of the bookstore owner's low-key personality. She didn't go to the extra step of providing him with any special accommodations. Instead, she mixed in with the normal customers.
Based on her understanding of Boss Lin, this kind of seclusion in the city was the kind of environment he pursued.
Unfortunately, Fitch and Lin Jie's room numbers were still quite a distance apart.
"306 and 377. Is this what you mean by 'quite close'?"
Lin Jie looked at the invitation in his hand, then at Fitch. His expression was one of amusement and speechlessness.
There were a total of two hundred rooms on the third floor. This was basically the beginning and the middle. It was impossible to tell how close it was.
Fitch chuckled dryly, his expression unchanged as he said, "Then it must be because it was too dark and I saw wrong. But since we're on the same path, I'll walk you to the door. This is a rule I've always followed. Please allow me to do so."
His face was full of sincerity, so sincere that Lin Jie felt that if he refused, Fitch would probably kneel down and hug his thigh and cry on the spot …
Lin Jie felt a chill run down his spine. To avoid such a situation, he reluctantly agreed.
Along the way, Fitch tried to beat around the bush to find out what was going on with Lin Jie's bookstore. He wanted to know what kind of books were being sold and what kind of customers they had.
At first, Lin Jie was still a little suspicious about whether this guy was gay. But now, he suddenly perked up.
If you want to talk about this, then I won't sleep.jpg
Lin Jie was naturally very familiar with the sales tactics. He spoke frankly and confidently, saying that his bookstore had all kinds of books he wanted … Of course, it did indeed have all kinds of books.
"Customers … Well, although good wine doesn't need to be hidden in the dark alleys, there are only a few people who can smell the wine and have the ability to appreciate it."
Lin Jie earnestly glossed over the fact that no one cared about the bookstore. "However, although there aren't many customers in the bookstore, every one of them is worthy of guidance. Whether it's in business, life, or other areas, they can all come to the bookstore to take a look. Not only can I provide the power contained in the books, but I can also provide some useful help."
Fitch nodded and secretly made a note of it.
The bookstore had screening criteria for customers. They had to have potential and a desire that could be controlled. They could rely on the power of the books to solve their problems, but they could also directly ask the owner for help.
But there was still a very important question …
He asked somewhat meaningfully, "Then, what's the price?"
“？”
Lin Jie's head was full of black lines. What was with this sudden turn of events?
"If you buy a book, you have to pay according to the price. If there's a discount, you have to pay a deposit of 10 yuan. In addition, if you spend 200 yuan at the book cafe next door, you can get a cup of pearl milk tea for free. If you want to consult me about a problem … this is a free service."
Lin Jie said nonchalantly, "However, under normal circumstances, out of gratitude, my customers will bring me some local specialties."
Fitch was stunned. "Local specialties?"
Lin Jie walked to the front of his room and swiped the invitation card to open the door. He nodded and said, "That's right, local specialties. For example, I have a customer who will bring me some statues …"
Fitch was about to listen carefully when the door to the room next to him suddenly opened. A young man dressed like an aristocrat walked out with a communication device. "… Sir Yue Sefu is currently in a fierce battle, do you know?! No! You don't know at all! You actually let me come to this damned banquet. I want to go to the battlefield and fight alongside him, damn it! This banquet is full of hypocrisy and detestation. It's not a place where a true fan should be! Besides, I'm his disciple! An apprentice is still a disciple! "
The young man looked to be in his teens. His young face was covered in freckles. He complained into the communication device as he closed the door. When he turned around and raised his head, he immediately saw Lin Jie standing to the side.
He was stunned at first, then suspected that his eyes were playing tricks on him. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Lin Jie again. Then, his entire body began to tremble, and the communication device in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
His expression gradually became one of horror.
"You, you, you, you, you —"
