I open a bookstore in the human world

The night after the board meeting, the lights in Liang Hong's office stayed on all night.

The next day Shang Nianxi came to work humming a song, just put down her bag when she was startled when she heard the sound of the door opening behind her, she turned her head in astonishment, with a look of surprise on her face: "Big, big sister, are you so early? "

She arrived almost half an hour early today, and the entire alliance was silent, even the cleaning lady didn't come, but the leader had already arrived.

Liang Hong's complexion was not very good, or very bad, she pulled her bloodless lips, shook her head slowly, and said in a somewhat false tone, "I didn't go home."

"What?!" Shang Nianxi's eyes widened, and her volume raised an octave, "Eldest sister, you worked overtime all night?!"

"It's not overtime." Liang Hong's smile was almost negligible.

If it's not overtime, what are you doing?Shang Nianxi blurted out: "Eldest sister, you haven't been thinking about life all night, have you?"

Liang Hong didn't speak, but her expression was obvious.

Shang Nianxi was completely stunned this time, she covered her mouth with her hands, and after a long while, she choked out a sentence: "Sister, are you okay?" His tone was full of concern.

Seeing Shang Nianxi's worried and concerned expression, Liang Hong's heart warmed up, and she reached out to touch the bangs on her forehead, and said with a smile: "If you do this, it's like I'm made of glass, don't worry, I'm fine."

As soon as the words fell, Liang Hong's feet went limp, and she tilted to the side. If it wasn't for Shang Nianxi's quick eyesight and hands to support her, she might have fallen hard.

"It's okay!" Shang Nianxi was so anxious that she took out her mobile phone and wanted to call 120, but Liang Hong stopped her.

"It's really all right, but I feel a little dizzy after not sleeping all night." Liang Hong shook her head, "I'll eat something and go back and have a good sleep."

"I'll take you home." Shang Nianxi said.

"I'll just take a taxi back home, you still have to work." Liang Hong rejected Shang Nianxi's kindness.

In the end, Shang Nianxi called a car for Liang Hong, took her to the taxi in person, and then left with peace of mind.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Shang Nianxi was taken aback by being patted on the shoulder unexpectedly, and turned to face a big smiling face.

Shang Nianxi patted his chest and glared at the other party: "Zhao Wu, do you know that people can scare people to death!"

Zhao Wu still had a playful smile on his face: "You won't be so timid, right? By the way, you haven't answered me yet. What are you doing here? I just saw you waving to a taxi."

Shang Nianxi calmed down, briefly told Zhao Wu what happened in the morning, and added at the end: "Zhao Wu, do you think something will happen to the eldest sister? She was not in a good mood after the meeting yesterday. Well, I shut myself up in the office all night, and I'm really worried about her."

Speaking of yesterday's board meeting, Zhao Wu also frowned: "Eldest sister is also miserable, I can only say that one emperor and one courtier. It's okay for us to engage in technology, you civil servants should also be careful, especially you , if the eldest sister really steps down, you will probably be hidden in the snow too."

"What does it mean that the elder sister has really stepped down, can you speak?" Shang Nianxi gave Zhao Wu a hard look, then frowned again, and sighed heavily.

——Although Zhao Wu spoke directly, but his words were not rough, it was really possible.At present, the board of directors is eyeing the position of the chairman of the alliance, and the vice chairman is fanning the flames. Liang Hong's situation is indeed worrying.

Perhaps, she should also think about retreating.

When Liang Hong returned home, she didn't immediately go to bed to rest. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and dialed a number hesitantly.

The cultural and creative exhibition jointly held by Ganlu Stationery and Shadow Bookstore went smoothly. During the half month of the exhibition, the Shadow Bookstore was full of customers every day. Except for the crowds gathered in the art area that was temporarily used as the exhibition hall, other people in the bookstore The area is often full of seats, even the steps are full of people.Especially in the restaurant area, it was so hot that it was unbelievable. The waiters were busy from morning to night, and there was almost no time to breathe.

The cultural and creative exhibition of Ganlu Stationery is so famous, in addition to displaying the most popular cultural and creative products of various cultural and creative brands over the years, the most important reason is that the products sold at the exhibition are more than usual. The price tag is [-] to [-]% lower, especially for those products that are not discounted throughout the year, and only at this time will the label of promotion be hung.

With a complete range of products and discounts, it is no wonder that some people have joked that the cultural and creative exhibition of Ganlu Stationery is like a paradise for the majority of cultural and creative lovers.

Because this cultural and creative exhibition is jointly organized by Ganlu Stationery and Shadow Bookstore, while providing the venue, Shadow Bookstore naturally also enjoys the benefits of the organizer.Shadow brand products were placed in the most conspicuous position in the exhibition area. At the same time, the bookstore also generously held a lottery activity. It was stipulated that customers who spent more than 20 yuan at the exhibition or in the bookstore could participate in the lottery and have a chance to win great gifts. .

The lottery prizes are divided into several levels, all provided by Shadow Bookstore, ranging from various cultural and creative products to free meal coupons for Shadow Restaurant, the purpose is also to further promote itself.

This measure was very effective. Later, some people came to the exhibition to buy free meal coupons for the Shadow Restaurant. position in the heart.As the family members of the founder of Shadow Restaurant, Song Lan and You Rongyan.

After the exhibition, the Shadow Bookstore's reputation in Shanghai has soared, even surpassing Qiuzhi Bookstore to become the leader of the bookstore industry in Shanghai.Song Lan's side is proud of the spring breeze, and naturally someone at the Great Book Industry Alliance is not happy.

Great Book Industry Alliance, outside the meeting room.

Few employees in the alliance still have the heart to work hard. Whether it is the technical department, the propaganda department, or even the cleaning lady in the logistics department, they are all looking forward to the closed meeting room door, and there are many discussions——

"This meeting has been going on for almost two hours, which is unusual."

"I heard from Xiao Wu earlier that when those members of the board of directors came over, they all had gloomy faces, which was scary."

"Oh, the elder sister is also miserable. The board of directors has been putting pressure on her some time ago. Now that the shadow bookstore is so popular, the board of directors will definitely take their anger on her."

"Isn't it? Did you see the vice president's face of being a villain just now? He has always been at odds with the elder sister, and he wished to see her suffer."

"Speaking of which, the eldest sister is quite pitiful. She has devoted half of her life to the league, but now she has fallen to this point. Sigh, if the board of directors hadn't had an accident, she wouldn't have been like this."

"Shh, the door is open, they're done."

The door of the conference room was opened from the inside, and a group of directors filed out, followed by a deputy general manager with a smug expression and Liang Hong, who was expressionless.

The vice president warmly shook hands with the directors and sent them downstairs in person. Instead, he put Liang Hong, the real general manager, aside, as if he was the boss here.

All the employees who pretended to be serious about their work but secretly paid attention to the situation from the corner of their eyes were all surprised: What happened?

Liang Hong, who didn't go downstairs with her, turned to face the crowd, and announced a big news with a calm expression: "Everyone, I resigned, and everyone will work hard with Mr. Zhao from now on."

Mr. Zhao is that villain's proud deputy general manager.

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was shocked, but Shang Nianxi was still relatively calm, but it was only on the surface.She looked at the leader who was both a teacher and a friend with complicated eyes, and sighed in her heart: Unexpectedly, the elder sister still chose this step.

The other employees who didn't know the cause and effect were quite shocked. They couldn't believe their ears, and they whispered to each other to confirm whether they heard it wrong just now.

Everyone has noticed Liang Hong's investment in the alliance over the years, and it is precisely because of this that everyone is so caught off guard: In everyone's mind, anyone in the alliance can quit, only the eldest sister can't.

The board must be pushing too hard!Thinking of the former deputy general manager... No, it should be Mr. Zhao's ugly face now, everyone felt angry and sad.

Although Liang Hong looks unsmiling on weekdays and is more serious at work, she is very friendly to the employees in private and has won the respect and trust of the members.Unlike the bully Mr. Zhao, who bowed his knees to the board of directors and slavishly coquettishly, and changed his arrogant face when facing them.

Liang Hong bowed deeply to everyone, and said: "Thank you for your company these years, and I will stay here for a week to carry out the handover work. work."

The faces of the employees were complicated, and it took a long time for someone to pluck up the courage to ask: "Sister, where are you going from now on?"

Liang Hong is a typical career-oriented woman, and she is still single. It is impossible for her to return to her family, right?But if you look at the magic city, any well-known bookstores have been incorporated under the umbrella of the Great Book Industry Alliance. Even if Liang Hong wants to find a job again, it will not be easy--since she has resigned, she will never want to work with the Great Book Industry Alliance again. The alliance has nothing to do with it.

Liang Hong smiled lightly and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I have arrangements." She didn't specify who her next family was, and everyone was too embarrassed to keep asking, for fear of poking Liang Hong's wound.

"Sister, can I still see you in the future?" The already sentimental female employee's eyes turned red.

Liang Hong smiled and said, "Of course, I will still be in Shanghai in the future, and you can find me if you have a meal." It caused everyone to laugh.

Although Liang Hong tried his best to make the atmosphere a little more relaxed, after all, it is difficult to make people happy about parting. After that, everyone's mood was heavy, and they even looked at Mr. Zhao who had just sent someone back. Not very friendly.

Mr. Zhao didn't realize it, walked into Liang Hong's office triumphantly, and pretended to say to Liang Hong who was packing up: "There is still a week's handover time. I vacate my office so I can wait."

Shang Nianxi, who was helping Liang Hong pack his things, immediately burst into anger when he heard it, and cursed secretly in his heart: The villain is successful!

Liang Hong was quite calm, she shook her head and said, "This is the rule." The implication is that since she is no longer the general manager of the alliance, she naturally has to give up the general manager's office.

Mr. Zhao snorted coldly when he heard the words: He hates this old woman surnamed Liang talking to him like this. After all, he is also a high-level executive appointed by the board of directors. , very embarrassing in face.This time it's good, the old woman finally got acquainted for a while, and she walked away without him doing anything.

"What Mr. Liang said is that you really have to follow the rules so that there will be no trouble." Mr. Zhao mocked, "If this is the case, then I will work hard on you."

But I was thinking in my heart: Hmph, let's see how long you can be arrogant?In the future, the alliance is what I say, and you can no longer teach me.

After saying that, Mr. Zhao didn't say that he would give Liang Hong a hand, and walked away triumphantly.

Shang Nianxi couldn't help but "pooh" at his back: "I'm so mad!"

Liang Hong smiled helplessly and shook her head: "It's not worth getting angry about this kind of person."

"Sister, you don't really want to go to the Shadow Bookstore, do you?" Shang Nianxi put down the document bag in her hand, looked around mysteriously, ran to Liang Hong, and asked in a low voice.

Liang Hong nodded slightly, and said, "I have already met Boss Song of the Shadow Bookstore."

"It really is like this..." Shang Nianxi had a complicated expression, "So eldest sister, you have already considered resigning from the board of directors?"

Liang Hong lowered her eyes, didn't speak, and sighed softly after a long time: "Other than that, I have no other choice."

The board of directors has been dissatisfied with her for a long time, and this exhibition has given the other party an excuse. Anyway, sooner or later she will be seized power. Instead of letting them force her to abdicate, she might as well propose it, so that it will not be too embarrassing.Besides, the conditions for opening the Shadow Bookstore really moved her heart.

Liang Hong is a very enterprising person, and letting her take a back seat is worse than insulting her.Now it is impossible for her to continue to be in power in the alliance. The only option is to leave this place and start again.And the shadow bookstore can just give her this opportunity to realize her life value.

Shang Nianxi sighed unceasingly, lamenting the impermanence of the world: Who would have thought that the two who were once on opposing sides would now stand in the same camp.

"But eldest sister," Shang Nianxi hesitated, and asked the question anxiously for a long time, "After all, the shadow bookstore and the alliance are not a united front. If you go there, doesn't it mean..."

Shang Nianxi didn't say what it meant, but both parties knew it well.

The corners of Liang Hong's lips were bitter, and it took a long time before she let out a sigh: "How can everything in life come true?"

Shang Nianxi slowly clenched his hand hanging by his side into a fist, took a deep breath, and said with determination: "Sister, can I go to the Shadow Bookstore with you?"

"Are you leaving too?" Liang Hong was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it, she understood, and said with a wry smile, "Yes, if you continue to stay in the alliance, you may also be excluded. Okay, let me tell Boss Song, He will not refuse this matter."

As she said that, Liang Hong couldn't help turning her eyes to the group photo on the wall. Her eyes passed over the faces of everyone in the group photo one by one, and finally landed on the person standing in the middle.It was a cheerful smiling face, she was herself at the beginning of the alliance. At that time, she really thought that she could go on with the alliance and face all kinds of difficulties and obstacles together through thick and thin.

Now, it's time to say goodbye.

The author has something to say:

After Liang Hong arrived at the shadow bookstore, Song Lan officially lived the life that the king never had before_(:з」∠)_
