"Swoosh …"
Lin Jie was flipping through his registration book with nothing to do.
If someone was nearing the deadline to return the book, he would give them a call to rush them. If it was overdue, he would have to check if there was a problem with the book or the person.
If there was a problem with the book, he would have to look at the situation and negotiate for compensation. If not, he would have to ask for compensation.
— — Since he had nothing to do, he was looking forward to this kind of outdoor exercise.
However, it was a pity that there were no such evil customers. On the contrary, good customers like Lao Wang and Doris would even bring him some local specialties.
If there was a problem with the person, he was willing to provide some help, but the book had to be returned.
It seemed like opening a bookstore was not an easy task.
"Hmm … Old Wang has returned all the books this time. I don't know when he will come back to borrow books again. I also don't know if he has settled Charles' problem."
"Ji Zhixu's two books are almost due, but this young lady shouldn't have any risk of not returning them. Even if she doesn't return them, there is probably no risk of not paying."
"Melissa, who knows how much this brat has done, I hope that she can improve a little and not randomly find people to arm wrestle. She should properly experience that knowledge is true power." Remember the website: m.9biquge. com.
"Speaking of Melissa, Yue Sefu's book return day is coming soon."
Lin Jie flipped to the first page and saw Yue Sefu's name.
The address he left was not the same as Melissa's, but from Melissa, her father was not at home all year round and was busy with work.
So the address Yue Sefu left was probably his workplace.
As a retired soldier, Yue Sefu did not have to worry about returning the book. Even if he could not handle his relationship with his daughter, he would not go back on his word for a book.
Last time, Lin Jie even suggested to try "opening" Teacher Lin's psychological counseling function and let him solve the psychological problems.
However, although Yue Sefu seemed to be tempted, he did not choose to trust Teacher Lin immediately. Instead, he said that he needed to think about it.
This was very normal. After all, he was a stranger whom they had met for less than a day. It would be strange if he completely believed him.
However, Lin Jie had also planted a seed that could make the other party a long-term customer.
Whether or not it could germinate depended partly on luck.
"But it seems like he really liked 'The Little Prince' back then, so the chances are very high. If it doesn't work, there's still Melissa. That little brat is easy to trick … Cough, persuade, persuade, and she won't be careless with her money."
"Children driving the parents is also a very effective marketing method."
Lin Jie smiled. He had already set his sights on the whole family.
He flipped another page, looked at it, and flipped it back.
In fact, he had already flipped through the thin booklet many times. When there were no customers and he didn't want to read, he had done this countless times.
Imagining that one day he would have a stack of booklets like this, and then talk about life and chicken soup with the endless stream of customers every day was his biggest pursuit now.
Unfortunately, this kind of imagination always happened during a long period of free time.
It had been three days since the last customer, the super sexy lady with wavy silver hair, borrowed the book 'See You Off With Your Eyes'.
In fact, in the past, the bookstore would often have no customers for several months. Lin Jie was used to this.
However, perhaps it was the contrast caused by the recent spurt of customers, Lin Jie felt a little lonely without customers to chat with for a period of time.
"Ding Ling-"
The bell at the door of the bookstore rang again.
Lin Jie immediately raised his head and looked at the door. Then, he was pleasantly surprised to see a burly figure and a head of white hair that he had not seen in a long time.
The person who opened the door and walked in was the old man named Yue Sefu.
After almost half a month, his aura did not decrease at all. The strong muscles under the suit and the fierce face all exuded the aura of a male lion. It was daunting.
"Yue Sefu! I was just thinking that you should come to return the book. "
Lin Jie smiled and spoke halfway. His eyes were suddenly attracted by the object on Yue Sefu's back.
Although the light in the bookstore was dim, the object had a very strong presence. It was faintly shining in the darkness that could not be ignored.
However, due to the light, Lin Jie could only determine that Yue Sefu seemed to be carrying a long irregular object wrapped in cloth.
When Yue Sefu walked to the front of the counter, the warm light finally revealed its appearance.
The shining object was an ornament made of gold. It was inlaid with gorgeous gems and engraved with ancient and elegant patterns.
A sword?
Lin Jie instantly made a judgment.
Under the light, the shining object was clearly a sword hilt made of gold.
The length and the fact that Yue Sefu carried it on his back confirmed Lin Jie's guess.
This … Is he also here to imitate Old Wang's "local specialties"?
Just a part of the sword hilt made Lin Jie feel an extremely luxurious aura. He immediately sat up and looked at Yue Sefu.
Yue Sefu first put the book in his hand on the counter and moved forward. He said, "Thank you for your generosity. This book has benefited me a lot."
He saw that Lin Jie's registration book was on his page. He sat in front of the counter and said, "It seems that you have been waiting for me for a long time."
"Not that long."
Lin Jie smiled. He couldn't tell him that he had been calculating when he would return the book and how he would ask for compensation if he didn't.
He reached out and took The Little Prince. He flipped through it and made sure that it was intact. Then he picked up a pen and wrote "returned" on Yue Sefu's book loan record.
He smiled and put down the pen. "You look good. It seems that this book has helped you during this period."
Yue Sefu nodded and sighed. "It has reduced my pain by a lot. It has made me feel more relaxed than ever. Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. Solving problems for customers is my greatest joy."
PTSD was difficult to treat, but since fairy tales could make him feel relaxed, this was his special medicine.
It was a delightful thing to be able to relieve the suffering of a customer.
Lin Jie's smile deepened. It was time to promote his psychological counseling. "By the way, have you thought about the matter I mentioned last time?"
Yue Sefu took a deep breath and removed the object from his back.
"Bang!"
The metal wrapped in cloth collided with the table. The cloth unfolded and revealed its complete appearance.
It was indeed a longsword.
The hilt was made of gold and the edges were decorated with scattered crystals. The heavy and dignified white scabbard made the longsword look like a work of art.
"I've thought about it."
Yue Sefu said, "This is my decision."
