I open a bookstore in the human world

Early the next morning, Xie Daonian woke up refreshed, but Song Lan looked listless and lay lazily on the bed.

"It's so glaring..." Song Lan blocked the morning light from the gap in the curtains with his hands, and half stood up sleepily, muttering in his mouth, with a strand of dull hair on his head, he lost his usual shrewdness. It's a little more playful.

Xie Daonian was arranging his luggage in front of the mirror. Hearing this, he hurriedly drew the curtains firmly, walked to the bed, leaned down, and whispered softly, "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

When Song Lan moved, she felt a little soreness in her waist and legs. Thinking of the lingering scene last night, she couldn't help but blushed, and stared at the "culprit" with non-lethal eyes, and said angrily: "Why do you As if nothing happened?"

This is not Song Lan's innocent anger, but the fact: after the two of them spend a night together, Song Lan, who should have better physical strength, appears weak and weak, while Xie Daonian, who is an "ordinary person", is refreshed , I don't see the tiredness of "toiling" all night.

Could it be that this is also the legendary "collecting yin and nourishing yang", Song Lan thought wildly.

Seeing the little lover's strange expression, Xie Daonian knew that he was probably making up some messy things in his head again, so he didn't think it was a bit funny, so he lowered his head and kissed the corner of his mouth, and said in a coaxing tone: "Sleep a little longer, I will Go to the company first."

"Be careful on the road." Song Lan waved at him.

Looking at Xie Daonian's tall and strong back, a doubt flashed in Song Lan's eyes: Is it an illusion?Why did he feel that Xie Daonian's body seemed to be glowing with a faint golden light?

"Shadow Bookstore is going to hold a cultural and creative exhibition jointly with Ganlu Stationery?" Liang Hong's face changed slightly when he heard the news, and his hands clenched into fists.

Shang Nianxi sighed inwardly, not daring to look at her leader's face, nodded and said, "Yes, the official notices of Shadow Bookstore and Ganlu Stationery have been posted." As soon as Shang Nianxi saw the notice, she immediately came in Report to Liang Hong.

Liang Hong immediately used the computer on her desk to log in to the official website of Ganlu Stationery. As soon as the webpage was opened, a pop-up window popped up. It was indeed an announcement to jointly hold a cultural and creative exhibition with Shadow Bookstore. The start time will start from the middle of next month. It will last half a month.

Liang Hong's eyelids trembled, and she muttered to herself, "How could it be the Shadow Bookstore..."

As a leader in China's domestic stationery industry, Ganlu Stationery holds a cultural and creative exhibition that lasts for half a month every year. From the first exhibition to the present, it has held a total of [-] sessions, and has become one of the grand events of domestic cultural and entrepreneurship.This exhibition will not only display the cultural and creative products of Ganlu Stationery, but also invite various cultural and creative brands to enter the exhibition. Those who can be invited will default to cultural and creative brands with certain reputation and strength.

If Shadow Bookstore participated in the exhibition as one of the invitees, Liang Hong would not be so surprised.After all, Shadow brand cultural and creative products are also very popular in the industry, and their reputation and quality are guaranteed.But this time Shadow Bookstore actually participated in this exhibition as one of the organizers, which is puzzling.

This is not the first time that Ganlu Stationery has co-organized a cultural and creative exhibition with a third party. In the past, Ganlu Stationery has cooperated with bookstores to organize cultural and creative exhibitions, but the problem is which bookstores are among the top well-known large bookstores in China, just like Jincheng Bookstore. Those of that level have deep qualifications and profound backgrounds, and almost all have official backgrounds.And young bookstores like Shadow Bookstore, which are privately founded and have only emerged in recent years, have never had the opportunity to cooperate with Ganlu Stationery before this!

Not to mention the shadow bookstore, looking at the entire magic city, only the Qiuzhi Bookstore may be eligible to hold an exhibition with Ganlu Stationery, but it is only qualified-the Great Book Industry Alliance had deliberately tested the tone of Ganlu Stationery before, When asked whether the next cultural and creative exhibition will be held in Shanghai, the reply from the other party was vague and did not give an accurate answer.

Unexpectedly, this new cultural and creative exhibition is indeed held in Shanghai, but the organizer is not any bookstore under the alliance.

In a flash of thought, Liang Hong thought a lot, and her mood was like knocking over a seasoning jar, with mixed flavors and self-knowledge.

It is a great honor for any cultural industry practitioner to cooperate with Ganlu Stationery to hold a cultural and creative exhibition.Even someone with Liang Hong's status yearns for it.

If, if I had agreed to Song Lan's invitation, would I be able to participate in this exhibition as the owner at this moment?Such a thought flashed across Liang Hong's mind.

"Eldest sister?" Shang Nianxi called her worriedly when she saw that Liang Hong had been in a daze for a long time without speaking.

"I see, you go to work first." Liang Hong came back to her senses, the corners of her mouth twitched, as if she wanted to laugh but couldn't.

Shang Nianxi lowered her eyes, said nothing more, and left quietly.

Liang Hong raised her head, looked at the group photo of the alliance on the wall opposite the desk, and sighed vaguely.

The news that Ganlu Stationery will hold a cultural and creative exhibition together with Shadow Bookstore has attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was released on the Internet.

You know, as long as you are a native of China, even if you only went to elementary school, you will know the brand of Ganlu stationery.It can be said that this is a very popular stationery brand, even those who never use domestic stationery have to admit this.

As a shadow bookstore that is mainly popular among a small number of young people, it suddenly appeared on the news together with Ganlu Stationery. No wonder many netizens lamented that the shadow bookstore is really promising this time, and even the big brothers in the industry can win it.

For a while, Shadow Bookstore received countless attention, Weibo gained a lot of followers overnight, and even Shadow Bookstore's physical stores in various places also welcomed a large wave of new customers.

——The psychology of most people: Being able to cooperate with Ganlu Stationery to hold an exhibition shows that this bookstore must be very strong and worth visiting.

But for the shadow bookstore, while gaining topicality, the pressure has also intensified.If the reputation of this exhibition is not good, then everyone will think that it is the fault of the Shadow Bookstore. The higher it is praised now, the worse it will fall when the time comes.

However, Song Lan is very confident that this cultural and creative exhibition will be a success. Without this diamond, he would not dare to do porcelain work.He got the opportunity to hold this exhibition through untold hardships, in order to greatly increase the popularity of Shadow Bookstore through the exhibition, and make the bookstore a hit across the country.At the same time, he also wants to do one thing through this exhibition...

Speaking of which, the Shadow Bookstore can get this opportunity thanks to Gan Tian.Thanks to the matchmaking of this girl who lives up to her name regardless of previous suspicions, Ganlu Stationery will consider Shadow Bookstore.Of course, the main reason is that the Shadow Bookstore's own strength is up to the standard, otherwise it would be useless even if Song Lan sacrificed her beauty.

Although Ganlu Stationery is considered a family business, it is not because of nepotism that they can make today's achievements.

Decided to cooperate with the shadow bookstore to organize the exhibition. The senior executives of Ganlu Stationery are not without objections. They think that the shadow bookstore is too "young" and has no background, so it is far from a good choice.In the end, it was Gan Ze, who had once cooperated with Shadow.com, who stood up to all the opinions, and Mr. Zhou from Jincheng State-owned Bookstore spoke for Shadow Bookstore, and finally decided on Shadow Bookstore.

It's not surprising that Gan Ze supports Song Lan. Shadow Net and Ganlu Stationery have cooperated once before, and both parties are very satisfied. Gan Ze has also been praised by his father Gan and recognized by the board of directors. Naturally, he is grateful for this , and give Shadow Bookstore a favor.

But what Song Lan didn't quite understand was Zhou Yong's attitude. Ever since he met, Zhou Yong seemed to have been taking good care of the Shadow Bookstore. It was for this reason that the Shadow Bookstore was able to develop so quickly in less than two years. The time has become today's scale.

It would be too much to say that this is just an appreciation of the outstanding juniors.

Of course, Song Lan couldn't directly ask Zhou Yong why he took care of the Shadow Bookstore like this, so he could only ask Guo Mingsong, the current general manager of Jincheng State-owned Bookstore, but Guo Mingsong was also confused about this and didn't know.

Then take it as luck, Song Lan finally explained to herself.

After everything was settled, Xie Daonian returned to the heavenly realm, and Song Lan also passed the civil service examination of the underworld with the No. He had received Xia Lan's kindness in the past, and after Xia Lan's guidance, Zhou Yong finally answered the kindness on the Shadow Bookstore.

Of course, this is something for later, so I won’t show it here.

Seeing that the opening time of the exhibition is getting closer, Liang Hong is under more and more pressure: probably because the shadow bookstore is too popular during this period, the overall turnover of the bookstores under the Great Book Industry Alliance is higher than before. It has dropped by a few percentage points every month.The exhibition hasn't officially started yet, wouldn't it be even worse after the official opening?

The board of directors was very dissatisfied with this, and even Liang Hong, who was already in an awkward position, took a lot of anger, and the vice chairman who was supported by the board of directors also sneered at her openly and secretly. Said: "Wake up, you are outdated, it is better to let go as soon as possible, so that everyone will not look too ugly."

The board of directors wants Liang Hong to come up with a solution as soon as possible, but what can Liang Hong do?Markdowns?Recently, the Shadow Bookstore is also holding activities. It is said that there is a lucky draw. Those who win the lottery will be given free vouchers for the Shadow Dessert House or the Shadow Restaurant. meet desired expectations.

In addition to promotions, you can only attract customers by other activities, such as inviting writers to sign sales or something.But firstly, the upcoming cultural and creative exhibition has attracted the attention of most people, and secondly, the process of holding a signing event is relatively complicated, and it is difficult to pass the internal procedures of the alliance in a short time. When everything is ready, the exhibition will be held It's all over.

In fact, Liang Hong knew very well that the board of directors was not necessarily dissatisfied with the decline in turnover, but just wanted to take this opportunity to find an excuse to push herself out and replace her with her own people.The board of directors had wanted to do this for a long time, but they had no chance. Now that there is such a good reason, of course they cannot give up.

There were wolves in front and tigers in back, and Liang Hong was caught in the middle, really desperate.

Either choose the Shadow Bookstore, or be abandoned by the Great Book Industry Alliance.
