Lin Jie looked at Fitch and Ge Leige, who were chatting happily not far away, and nodded in satisfaction.
Being able to communicate harmoniously was the beginning of breaking the ice. He believed that as long as he let Ge Leige come into contact with more people, he would gradually be able to overcome his psychological problems and solve his social problems of being nervous or unable to communicate normally when he saw people.
Congratulations, congratulations.
Because the gift-giving segment was arranged at noon, it was still time for the guests to talk freely.
However, Lin Jie didn't know many people at this banquet, so he naturally couldn't blend in with the crowd.
Moreover, there were three ready-made customers in front of him, so he naturally had to take care of them first.
Customers were valued for quality, not quantity.
Lin Jie had fully understood this point in his years of experience running a bookstore.
A high-quality customer could solve most of the problems, and the complementarity between the customers would help their relationship with the bookstore, greatly increasing the stickiness.
In particular, Ge Leige and Charlotte were close to Yue Sefu and Old Wang. Solidifying the relationship between them would definitely result in faster results.
Of course, a large portion of the guests were secretly looking at him, as if they were itching to communicate with him. However, it seemed that due to Ji Zhixu's deterrence last night, these people were very hesitant, and often chose to give up after struggling for a while. Remember this: http://m.9biquge.com
This made it impossible for Lin Jie to recruit them even if he wanted to.
"Sigh, it seems like I was too optimistic before. It's unrealistic to want to directly have a group of customers, but it's good. At least now I've piqued their interest. When I announce the collaboration later, I'll definitely have the foundation."
Lin Jie thought as he turned his head to look at the docile Charlotte in front of him.
This was Old Wang's new assistant, a little girl who could barely be considered half a student of his. Just from her appearance alone, she was indeed a cold beauty with the demeanor of a noble.
Compared to Ji Zhixu's aggressive rose-like beauty, Charlotte seemed to be more like a beautiful water lotus. Her pale golden and even a little white hair was tied behind her head, and her lake-like eyes were also pale in color, as if a thin layer of ice had condensed.
It was as if she was born to be a noble, and it was very suitable for her to wear a luxurious and exquisite white dress. She sat on a high-back velvet chair with a faint, reserved, and distant smile.
It was no wonder …
From the looks of it, although Ji Zhixu behaved in accordance with aristocratic etiquette, she did not look like a member of the upper class at all.
Ge Leige had said that the Ji Family was a barbarian tribe that had wandered from the Northern Lands, while Rolle's resources were only mining tools. His signature black hair and unique name structure seemed out of place. It seemed that this was one of the reasons why they couldn't completely integrate into the Ji Family.
Lin Jie's pure black hair and black eyes were very rare in Nuo Jin, so when Cherry helped him forge an identity document, she had directly filled in his household register as a "Northerner".
Although the Ji Family already stood at the top of the pyramid of wealth and power in this society, they were only sought after because of their status, and status might not be useful.
Perhaps there were many people like that John from last night …
Lin Jie rubbed his chin. He felt that although Rolle's resources were like a towering mountain, as the helmsman, the Ji Family seemed to be facing their own problems.
He felt that as a collaborator, he had to provide some insignificant help.
Ge Leige's family seemed to be quite powerful, but he didn't seem to be interested in the Ji Family, and even seemed to be a little disgusted. However, from the people who had surrounded Charlotte, this girl's status in her family should be quite high, at least among the nobles.
Since those people were hesitating and observing, perhaps he could rope in Charlotte and ask her to provide him with a reference.
"Cough cough …" Lin Jie covered his mouth and coughed dryly, pretending to be casual as he asked, "Oh right, what kind of books do you usually read, Charlotte?"
When Charlotte heard this, she immediately said solemnly, "I read your works three times a day and read them day and night without missing a word. I remember them in my heart. I hope that one day, I can take a step further from your abyss-like wisdom."
"…"
Hey hey, why do I feel like you're even more boastful than Old Wang? At least Old Wang was just praising each other back and forth, are you planning to treat my books as the Bible?
Lin Jie laughed dryly, "Hahaha, there's no need to make it seem like a religious ceremony. There's no need to read it every day. In reality, things like learning need to be researched. Simply reading it a few times won't allow you to understand its deeper meaning. There's not much use in just reading it. You have to understand and practice it yourself. "
"I feel that rather than reading it three times a day, you should find some time to research it yourself. Some things can only be understood after you try it yourself."
Charlotte's eyes widened, "Research?"
Lin Jie looked at the pair of big eyes that were filled with curiosity, and the feeling of being a teacher suddenly came back. He reached out and patted her head. He smiled kindly and said, "Yes, you have to determine the direction you want to research, formulate the research ideas and methods, and find the materials you need, whether it's written or physical. It's best to go and ask the relevant people in the field and get first-hand information from them. This way, it's the most reliable way to verify everything."
Charlotte said thoughtfully, "The mouth of a person …"
"Yes." Lin Jie nodded, "We're in the humanities, and it's closely related to people's thoughts, culture, and even souls. Therefore, we have to start with people. To put it more accurately, we have to dig out the things in other people's minds and make them our own. Also, we can't just take them, we have to learn how to digest them."
Charlotte completely understood, "Dig them out … and digest them!"
Boss Lin liked this kind of serious student the most. His smile became even more amiable, and he patiently guided her, "Not to mention … how can you improve if you only read the same book? We have to set our sights further. "
Charlotte drew inferences, "That's why I need to read more books."
Nice!
Lin Jie hadn't met such an independent student in a long time. He smiled and took out a book from behind his back, saying, "However, you don't have to blindly pursue more. For you, reading my book at the current stage is enough. You just need to learn how to strike a balance between work and rest, and relax occasionally. Developing in many aspects is the way of the king.
"Here, this book is very suitable for a girl like you."
He reached out and handed over one of the books he had brought over as an experiment, Pride and Prejudice.
This is a "gift" from God … Charlotte couldn't help but hold her breath. She tried her best to resist the urge to kneel down like a fanatic. She lowered her head and took the book with trembling hands. The fanaticism in her eyes was almost tangible, turning the thin layer of ice into an undercurrent.
