"This is... sent by the writer that Shopkeeper Wang found!"

Xu Xinyue couldn't quite understand what this person was trying to accomplish by doing this.

Since the manuscript has been transferred elsewhere, why would he help me and bring down my opponent? Isn't this a contradiction?

Besides, how did he know our plan? This news has not been leaked to anyone else...

Wait, someone else!

Xu Xinyue raised her head suddenly and asked in disbelief, "Qi Mobai?"

Seeing that he finally reacted, Uncle Zhang nodded slightly.

Because of their friendship with the bandits, both of them trusted him.

There was no deliberate concealment of yesterday's incident, because they felt that Qi Mobai was not the kind of gossipy person.

But apart from the two of them, the third person present yesterday was Qi Mobai.

It's obvious who wrote it.

Staring at the plain paper in front of her, Xu Xinyue felt indescribable feelings in her heart.

She should be complaining. Everything was caused by Qi Mobai's manuscript. If he hadn't transferred the storybook to another place, how could her bookstore be in the current situation.

But I somehow felt that he must have his own reasons.

Would such a noble and aloof person really do such a despicable thing for such a small profit?

Thinking of the guilty look on Shopkeeper Wang's face when he mentioned this matter yesterday, Xu Xinyue wanted to know the truth even more.

Xu Xinyue made up her mind: "Uncle Zhang, if Qi Mobai comes again next time, remember to hold him back. For some things, it is better for us to ask them face to face and make it clear."

Uncle Zhang also felt that this was reasonable and nodded in agreement.

“This manuscript…”

"Since the manuscript has been delivered, whether it is compensation or apology, it would be a waste if we don't use it. After all, he owes us something.

When this matter is over, I will find out the truth. If the fault lies with us, I will not tolerate it and give him justice...

If it's his fault, and he's just obsessed with profit... I'm afraid we won't be able to do business with him in the future. The worst that can happen is that we won't do business with him anymore!"

"Well, it's up to you."

Xu Xinyue has always been clear about gratitude and resentment, so Uncle Zhang didn't find it strange at all that she said this.

When I arrived at the door of Yangchun Bookstore with the third sequel in my hands, this chaotic scene was what caught my eye.

Shopkeeper Wang was still at loggerheads with the man from Qiulu Bookstore, arguing endlessly.

Xu Xinyue's pretty face darkened and she scolded, "Shut up!"

The voice stopped suddenly, and two pairs of eyes fell on Xu Xinyue.

Xu Xianyue frowned, her eyes wide open, and said to the man from Qiulu Bookstore, "Since your bookstore acts this way, don't blame us for being too extreme.

I have decided to release the third volume immediately! Even if this book is lost today, our Yangchun Bookstore will not take a step back!

You should go back and report to your master!"

When that person heard this, he thought Yangchun Bookstore was really going all out!

He did not dare to delay and did not care about the task assigned by his master before leaving the house. He went back to his own bookstore, looking back every few steps and cursing.

Shopkeeper Wang was a little anxious after hearing Xu Xinyue's impassioned speech: "Miss, how can you be so impulsive! We haven't even printed the third volume yet. If they really sell the third volume first, we will lose a lot!

You have to swallow all the words in this book yourself!"

He blamed Xu Xinyue for being rash and reckless, and for making decisions on her own, which hastily handed over the initiative for the third part to others. He couldn't help but feel regretful and lamented in his heart.

Xu Xinyue went back into the bookstore, glanced at him coldly, and looked gloomy.

She slowly walked behind the counter and flipped through the account book:

"Manager Wang, am I being too friendly?

So that you are confused, who is the master and who is the servant between you and me? "

Shopkeeper Wang's expression changed slightly, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Even if I can't tell right from wrong and keep making trouble, you have no choice but to obey me.

Besides, I have my own plans.

For my father's sake and because you are older, I am willing to give you a little more face and regard myself as a junior.

But as a human being, one should still know one's own identity and status.

Are you really going to open a dyeing factory for me just because I give you a hint of color?

Do you really think I don't know what happened between you and the writer?"

After saying that, he closed the account book with a "snap" and slapped the table with all his strength.

Shopkeeper Wang's whole body trembled, and he didn't know where to look in his guilty and panicked state.

Xu Xinyue did not show any expression on her face. She imitated Qin Yuechuan's usual demeanor, half-narrowing her eyes, pursing her pink lips, and looking gloomy, trying her best to show her "cold and murderous" side.

He quietly massaged the red and swollen palms hidden under his sleeves.

Hiss...I shouldn't have used so much strength.

However, she saw that Manager Wang was in a state of anxiety and originally just wanted to trick him.

There really is something fishy going on.

"If we really talk about it, who is responsible for this matter, Shopkeeper Wang, you should know it clearly."

When he said the last few words, Xu Xinyue bent his index finger and knocked heavily on the table as a warning.

Shopkeeper Wang knew he was in the wrong, so he dared not speak. After a long while, he stammered, "Miss... what I want to teach you is..."

That was enough, and Xu Xinyue handed over the paper in her hand.

"I only have plans for this matter. Telling Qiulu Bookstore to sell the third volume is nothing more than bluffing. This, the real third volume, will be printed immediately."

Shopkeeper Wang was a little distracted and quickly took the stack of papers.

Just nodded.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Xu Xianyue changed the subject:

"Manager Wang, I'm not an unreasonable person. As long as it doesn't affect my bottom line, everything can be discussed.

I always like to speak frankly:

What I hate most is the people below me pretending to obey but actually disobeying you!

Don't play tricks on me. I know the writer, but is his last name Qi?"

Shopkeeper Wang was truly shocked at this moment. He raised his head suddenly, and opened and closed his lips several times without uttering a single word.

The panic-stricken look was beyond words.

It was not until this moment that he really felt that Miss Xu in front of him seemed not to be underestimated.

"For no reason, would he abandon my Yangchun Bookstore and switch to the rival Qiulu Bookstore? This is obviously revenge!

Shopkeeper Wang, do I need to say more about this matter? "

Shopkeeper Wang knelt down in panic, feeling uneasy, and explained to Xu Xinyue: "No, it was him..."

"It seems that you have to ask me to invite him over to confront you before you tell the truth, right?"

Shopkeeper Wang seemed to have his spine pulled out, hunched over on the ground: "Yes... I, this Mr. Qi must have hooked up with some nobleman, he suddenly became famous... He used to write some booklets for various bookstores, but he didn't seem to have any...

But ever since he became famous, whichever bookstore he wrote for became very successful.

So... I also want to ask him to write. I think his status has risen because of his connections with the rich and powerful, and the books he writes may not be that good... I paid the deposit...

After he finishes writing, I will find some faults and say he is not worth the money... Anyway, whether a storybook is good or bad depends on the individual... I said his writing is not good, and he can't do anything to me if I refuse to pay..."

At the end, his voice was as soft as a mosquito's.
