"Knock, knock, knock." The unhurried knock on the door made Xie Daonian's eyelids twitch, who was immersed in processing documents, and he raised his head in disbelief, looking at the beautifully carved door in the office.

Having been friends for more than two years and lovers for more than a year, even though we usually get together less and leave more, Xie Daonian is confident that he can recognize everything about Song Lan, even if it's just a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Xie Daonian stood up from his chair, his tone filled with uncontrollable excitement.

The door was quickly opened from the outside, and a pot of budding orchids appeared first: "surprise!"

Song Lan poked her head out from behind the flowerpot, staring at Xie Daonian who looked a little nervous with a smile, and before the other party could speak, she stepped forward and said, "Still working hard on your birthday? My Mr. Xie?"

Xie Daonian raised his eyebrows slightly, with a smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, with a gentle and tolerant face: "If you don't work hard, how can you make money to support my family, Song Song?"

"Fuck you," Song Lan pretended to roll her eyes, "You make it sound like I need you to raise me."

"I said something wrong," Xie Daonian changed his words from good to good, and strode up to Song Lan, holding Song Lan tightly in his arms through the pot of orchids, "It's our joint efforts to fight for our bright future. "

"Hey, don't hold it so tightly, there are still flowers here!" Song Lan broke free from Xie Daonian's embrace in a rather puzzled manner, and carefully lifted the flowerpot between her arms, "This orchid is said to be a newly cultivated variety, and it is very rare. But it took a lot of talking to let others give up their love."

I was rejected by Song Lan, but it was still for a pot of flowers.Xie Daonian was a little bit aggrieved and helpless: Is this shooting yourself in the foot?

This was the first time that Xie Daonian ate vinegar from a pot of flowers.

Song Lan carefully placed the flowerpot in a safe place, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, approached Xie Daonian, leaned into his ear, and whispered: "Now, you are welcome to... move your hands and feet as much as you want." Finally The four words are as light as a snowflake falling on the palm of your hand, and it instantly melts into a puddle of spring water.

As soon as the words fell, Xie Daonian hugged him tightly.

"One month, five days and seven hours." Xie Daonian's voice became a little hoarse, making people's throat tight.

"Huh?" Song Lan didn't understand.

"The time since we last met." Xie Daonian stared into Song Lan's eyes, which seemed to hide two flames.

"You still count..." Song Lan raised her head in astonishment, before she finished speaking, the overwhelming kisses had already come down, her dexterous tongue drove straight in, prying open his lips, not giving him a chance to speak at all.

Song Lan was startled for a moment, then the corners of her lips hooked lightly, she took the initiative to hook Xie Daonian's neck, and enthusiastically responded to the French kiss.

A room is beautiful and the spring is infinite.

"Stop it! This is in the office, you have to pay attention to your image." Kissing and kissing, Song Lan noticed that Xie Daonian's hands seemed a little restless, and hurriedly called to stop before things completely got out of control.

Xie Daonian didn't take another step, but looked at Song Lan's eyes with mist, as if silently expressing his grievances.

"...Don't look at me like that," Song Lan was most afraid of Xie Daonian's offensive eyes. This guy probably did it on purpose, knowing that he couldn't resist, and always liked to look at him like that.

However, every time he looked at him like this, his heart softened.

But now is not the time.Song Lan regained her sanity a little bit, cleared her throat, seemed serious, and said to Xie Daonian seriously: "I have something to do later, you go out with me."

Xie Daonian let go of Song Lan's hand around his waist with some regret, and asked doubtfully, "Where are you going?"

"You'll know when you go." Song Lan smiled mysteriously.

***

"What are you bringing me here for?" Looking at the large empty storefront in front of him, Xie Daonian's breathing became short of breath, "Could it be, could it be that you want to..."

Song Lan smiled brightly, and couldn't help revealing the answer ahead of time: "Yes, I plan to formally enter the Shanghai market."

"This..." Xie Daonian's expression changed from unbelievable to extremely joyful, his lips moved, he grabbed Song Lan's hand, and muttered to himself, "Tell me, am I hearing it wrong or am I dreaming?"

"Isn't it that the Shadow Bookstore is coming to Shanghai? As for being so excited?" Song Lan shrugged, deliberately sternly shook her head and said, "This is not the reaction a qualified domineering president should have."

Xie Daonian raised his eyebrows, closed his eyes halfway, lowered his head, gently raised Song Lan's chin with the other hand, and said slowly: "Then, can our teacher Song tell me how to be an excellent teacher?" President?"

"Cough!" Song Lan coughed heavily, turned her face away unnaturally, her ears were a little red, "Don't be like this, this is a public place."

Although it was agreed not to deliberately conceal the relationship between the two, Song Lan was still relatively conservative inside, and was not very comfortable showing affection in public—of course, throwing dog food to Meng Sangyu was not counted.

Xie Daonian is actually relatively restrained in his bones, but he likes to see Song Lan blushing and heart beating under his provocation, which makes him feel very cute.However, since Song Lan said so, Xie Daonian obediently let go, whispered something to Song Lan, and smiled meaningfully.

"Then ask Teacher Song to teach me when I get home." Xie Daonian said to Song Lan.

Song Lan glared at Xie Daonian shyly, took two steps to the side calmly, and then changed the subject: "I have already rented out the shops on the first and second basement floors of the entire shopping mall. After the renovation, the Shadow Bookstore will officially settle in. Magic City."

Speaking of work, Xie Daonian also became serious. He pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "The location here is not bad, the transportation is convenient, and there are many schools and communities nearby, but..."

"But what?" Seeing that Xie Daonian frowned slightly, Song Lan was a little nervous.

After all, he didn't know Xie Daonian about Modu, and he was afraid that there would be accidents in this place, that would be terrible.

"However," Xie Daonian's mouth was a little droopy, "However, this place is a bit far from my company, which I don't think is OK."

"Fuck you." Song Lan heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that Xie Daonian did this on purpose, but in fact he should be quite satisfied with this place.

"Have you thought about the decoration style?" The two laughed and fought for a while, and Xie Daonian asked Song Lan.

Song Lan thought for a while and said, "I have decided on several styles for the time being, and I'm still considering them. Let me tell you, and you can give me a reference..."

***

Just as the Shadow Bookstore was furiously carrying out renovations at the Magic City Store, some people couldn't sit still.

The headquarters of the Great Book Industry Alliance.

"Is your news accurate?" The middle-aged woman in business attire, with meticulous makeup and hairdo looked at her subordinate in astonishment, her hand holding the pen was tightly clenched into a fist, her knuckles were slightly white, and the There are blue veins slightly raised.

"It should be true. The official website of the Shadow Bookstore has announced that the Shanghai Metropolis Store will open soon, so you can look forward to it." Seeing that the leader was in a bad mood, Shang Nianxi didn't dare to show his anger, so he bit the bullet and said .

You know, in the past, she only showed such a terrifying expression when she mentioned Zhou Zhengshi of the World Book Industry Alliance in the imperial capital. At that time, the air pressure of the entire Book Industry Alliance was the lowest, and no one dared to be late or touch him at work in those few days. Fish, afraid of being caught for some small mistake and becoming a scapegoat.

From this point of view, the eldest sister is really afraid of the shadow bookstore.

"Back then I really underestimated that Song Lan." Liang Hong murmured to herself, the word "Chuan" tightly locked between her brows.

In the past two years, the shadow bookstore has become more and more prosperous, opening up branches everywhere, running magazines and DIY classes, and even setting up a shadow website that is said to have a high traffic volume. Zhou Yong of Chengguo Bookstore also seemed to admire Song Lan with admiration, and he helped a lot in private.At first, they thought it was just a small fight, not a big deal, but they didn't expect that not only would they come to Shanghai now, but they also looked very impressive, as if they were going to compete with the big bookstore in Shanghai.

One must know that the Great Book Industry Alliance once extended an olive branch to the Shadow Bookstore and invited Song Lan to visit Shanghai, but in the end Song Lan declined the alliance's invitation, expressing that he wanted to go it alone.At that time, Song Lan's "do not know what to do" move made Liang Hong uncomfortable, but because the shadow bookstore was not very big at that time, Liang Hong quickly forgot about it.I never expected that this small bookstore, which I didn't think much of before, would now have such a skill...

It would be fine if the shadow bookstore opened up the market in other places, but this time it happened to come to Shanghai, the headquarters of the Great Book Industry Alliance, which made Liang Hong a little restless: You know, at least half of the book market in Shanghai All of the above are monopolized by the bookstores under the Great Book Industry Alliance. If you come to a shadow bookstore that is not on their side, what does it mean?It means that someone wants to compete with them for cake!

Liang Hong also heard a little about the expansion speed of Shadow Bookstore in the past two years. He said that almost all provinces south of the Yangtze River have settled in this bookstore, and some economically developed provinces even have more than one bookstore.It can be said that Shadow Bookstore has now become one of the largest chain bookstores in China.

If Shadow Bookstore just came to Shanghai to open a branch, Liang Hong wouldn't have the current reaction.After all, there are so many bookstores in Shanghai, if she has to be on guard when every bookstore opens, wouldn't she be exhausted?However, this time it seems to be different. According to the information submitted by Shang Nianxi, the shadow bookstore is estimated to have an area of ​​nearly 1000 square meters, which is already the size of a super-large bookstore, even larger than the largest bookstore under the Great Book Industry Alliance. The Qiuzhi Bookstore will be more than [-] square meters larger.

Of course, the difference is that Qiuzhi Bookstore is located in the famous "Bookstore Street" in the center of the magic city, where almost every inch of land is expensive, and the housing prices are extremely high.The location of the Shadow Bookstore is quite different. Although it is also located in a more prosperous area, the area it is located in is already far away from the central area. At the same time, the location of the Shadow Bookstore is the first and second basement floors of the shopping mall.In terms of geographical location and environment alone, Shadow Bookstore is far inferior to Qiuzhi Bookstore.

However, if we only talk about the area, the soon-to-open Shadow Bookstore will become the largest bookstore in Shanghai. The word "most" alone makes people feel vigilant.

Whether it's a woman's sixth sense or the experience of "many years of fighting" in the mall, Liang Hong keenly feels that this upcoming shadow bookstore will be a powerful rival for the Great Book Industry Alliance in the future.

But if it is said that the Great Book Industry Alliance is afraid of the shadow bookstore because of this, it is definitely a joke.The book market in Shanghai has always been fiercely competitive. In the past, there were not many large bookstores with strong capital trying to occupy the market in Shanghai, but they were either finally accepted as members by the Great Book Industry Alliance, or they returned home in disgrace, and the few were able to gain a firm foothold And those who can share a piece of cake are all big bookstores with deep background and capital.I just don't know, compared with them, what level is the shadow bookstore?

Thinking of this, Liang Hong calmed down, and said seriously to Shang Nianxi: "Give me a detailed copy of the Shadow Bookstore within three days."

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be invincible in a hundred battles.Only by thoroughly understanding the background of this shadow bookstore and whether there is someone behind it can she take corresponding countermeasures.
