I open a bookstore in the human world

The man really didn't lie anymore, following the clues he gave, Song Lan followed the clues, and finally found out who was behind the scenes.

To his surprise, the other party was actually an acquaintance.

The person who buys|kills|kills people behind the scenes is the newly appointed Chairman Zhao of the Great Book Industry Alliance, who is also the next post after Liang Hong leaves office.

The reason why he wanted to get rid of Xie Daonian was actually the shadow bookstore.Although he successfully took over the Great Book Industry Alliance, after all, Liang Hong has a good reputation in the alliance, not many people obey him, and lacks prestige.And if he wanted to consolidate his position, the only way to do what Liang Hong couldn't do was to defeat the shadow bookstore.

It is very difficult to deal with shadow bookstores through legal channels. Now the shadow bookstores are big and prosperous, and the bookstores under the alliance already have the upper hand. What else can they fight against?Ever since, this chairman Zhao has used his brains.

——If the Shadow Bookstore can’t be dealt with head-on, how about getting rid of the bookstore owner secretly?

Chairman Zhao looks pretty good now, but he was actually a ruthless character before his cleansing|whitewashing.After earning enough money, he decided to launder his name and became the chairman of the Great Book Industry Alliance, wearing the hat of a "cultural person" on his head. Who would know what he had done?

Before coming to the Great Book Industry Alliance, Chairman Zhao secretly did a lot of deeds through illegal means and harmed many people. This time, he plans to repeat the old tricks and deal with the two biggest bosses, Song Lan and Xie Daonian.

However, Song Lan seemed to be very vigilant and his whereabouts were erratic. It was difficult for the people sent by Chairman Zhao to find out his itinerary, let alone attack him.Several times what the other party wanted to do was seen through by Song Lan in advance, so he could only give up.

So the other party decided to seek the next best thing and set their target on Xie Daonian.Chairman Zhao found out that the two bosses, Xie and Song, had a good relationship, so he thought of a poisonous plan: If the surnamed Song saw that the surnamed Xie died in front of his own eyes, would he be devastated?

To be honest, this Chairman Zhao is poisonous, and he is quite accurate in judging people.If it wasn't for Xie Daonian who was still standing here, Song Lan might really collapse.

However, thousands of calculations were made, and all the tricks were exhausted, but he failed to calculate it. This Xie Daonian couldn't be hit to death!

He can't be blamed either, if this is a normal person, then even if he doesn't die, he will definitely lose half his life, but who would know that Xie Daonian is not a normal person?

He's not even human.

Liang Hong was startled when she heard the news, then her cheeks flushed with anger, and she hurriedly tried to explain to Song Lan: "President Song, I..."

"You don't need to explain, I believe you are innocent." Song Lan waved her hand and interrupted Liang Hong, "What that Zhao did has nothing to do with you."

Liang Hong let out a long sigh of relief: She was really worried that Song Lan would misunderstand her because of this, which was really not a good thing for her who started a new career.

Thinking of it this way, Liang Hong was a little moved: Song Lan can trust her so unconditionally, which is really heartwarming.Thinking of the criticism she received from the board of directors when she was in the league, Liang Hong was even more moved.

"Before I was in the alliance, I only thought that the person surnamed Zhao was narrow-minded and good at making money. I didn't expect such a vicious heart." Liang Hong shook her head and said, regretting that the alliance was controlled by such a person, it was like seeing him with his own hands. It is heartbreaking for a raised child to degenerate step by step.

It's just that she has already left the alliance, and she is no longer the chairman of the alliance, and she is not qualified to intervene in this matter.

Speaking of this person, Song Lan gritted his teeth with hatred and said, "I will make him pay the price."

It was the first time Liang Hong saw Song Lan so angry, her eyelids twitched, and she asked cautiously, "President Song, what do you want to do?" She was a little worried that Song Lan would do something stupid.

Song Lan was expressionless, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, I'm a responsible businessman, and I won't do anything out of the ordinary."

Liang Hong: "..." By the way, boss, do you know that your expression is not convincing?

***

What Song Lan was telling was the truth. After finding out the truth, he didn't kill the door directly, nor did he do anything to startle the snake. He even behaved as usual, as if he didn't know anything.

This made Chairman Zhao, who was still a little worried, heaved a sigh of relief: He heard from the police's eyeliner that the surname Song seemed to suspect something, which made him nervous for a while. Now it seems that the other party may have no evidence or other reasons. For whatever reason, I won't pursue it any more.

In fact, Chairman Zhao is also very angry. He has traveled the rivers and lakes for so many years, how many people have been harmed, and how many evil things he has done. It was done so meticulously, and a lot of money was spent, but the result was good. The other party had nothing to do, and it was said that he was discharged from the hospital on the same day.

Hey, are you saying this is an evil thing?

In a rage, Chairman Zhao concocted another plan to do something bad, but before he could arrange it, a subpoena from the court confused him.

He was charged with six or seven crimes of embezzlement and bribery, buying murder, and smuggling, each of which could allow him to sit in prison and be shot several times.

For a moment, Chairman Zhao thought someone was joking with him.

--how can that be possible?How did these things explode?Hadn't he already dealt with it cleanly?Taking a step back, even if someone really found something, with their own background, someone would suppress these things. What went wrong?

However, the subpoena was glaringly in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.

After that, things went smoothly and unexpectedly. Chairman Zhao was arrested, the scandal broke out, the industry was shocked, and the big book industry alliance was in jeopardy. At first, three or two bookstores applied to withdraw from the alliance, and then more and more bookstores were about to launch. The alliance has reached a point where it is falling apart.

——I can’t go anymore, because of Chairman Zhao’s matter, everyone now looks at these bookstores related to the alliance with a strange look, thinking that the top leaders are like this, and maybe the people below are also like this.The turnover of these bookstores is declining day by day, and even promotions can hardly win back the hearts of customers.

Trust is a very fragile thing. Once it is broken, even if it is repaired, the cracks will always be there.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter, and when the wall falls, everyone pushes away.However, within a short period of one month, the once glorious Great Book Industry Alliance has become the target of ridicule and ridicule by everyone.

Because of this shocking scandal, those bookstores related to the alliance were more or less boycotted by the citizens of Modu, and the shadow bookstore that had nothing to do with it became the biggest winner.

Everyone in the bookstore was rejoicing except Liang Hong.

Anyone can tell that Liang Hong is not in a good mood these days, let alone Song Lan who is a monkey spirit.But he didn't take the initiative to ask Liang Hong to say anything, because he knew that for a mature person like Liang Hong, all other people's comfort was in vain, and only she could figure it out.

In the end, Liang Hong took the initiative to knock on the door of Song Lan's office.

"Please sit down." Song Lan nodded to signal Liang Hong to sit down, and poured a cup of tea for her casually, with an easy-going and unenthusiastic attitude, just like Liang Hong used to talk to him about business.

Liang Hong sat quietly, holding the teacup in her hand, and didn't speak until the water in the cup was completely cool.Song Lan didn't urge her, let alone speak.

After a while, Liang Hong finally made up her mind to speak, her voice hoarse: "President Song, I have something to tell you."

Song Lan's eyes were calm, and she nodded lightly: "Go ahead."

"I..." It was obvious that the draft had already been written, but when the words came to my lips, I didn't know where to start.

Seeing that Liang Hong's forehead was dripping with sweat, Song Lan didn't feel ashamed to speak, so Song Lan kindly took over the conversation and asked bluntly, "Do you want to leave?"

Liang Hong stared at Song Lan dumbfounded: "President Song, you..." How did he know what he wanted to say?

Just a few days ago, the board of directors of the Great Book Industry Alliance came to her. Contrary to the usual sarcasm in the past, all the members of the board of directors were very warm to her this time. Become the chairman of the alliance, because only she can save the alliance.

Liang Hong tossed and turned for several sleepless nights, and finally made up her mind to come to Song Lan.

Song Lan looked indifferent, playing with a pen in his hand, leaning his elbow on the armrest of the boss chair and propping his cheek, and said, "If you want to leave, I won't stop you. After all, this is our original agreement. You You are free to come and go, and you can leave at any time. Of course, as your boss, for the sake of your career development, I have to kindly remind you that the Great Book Industry Alliance is completely finished this time. Even if you go back, it will be very difficult to save it."

Liang Hong's eyelids were half down, concealing the sadness in his eyes.Why didn't she know that Song Lan was telling the truth, returning to the alliance now would be of no benefit at all, and it might even match up with her career, but she couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart.

After all, the league was different for her.

Song Lan sighed softly, put down the pen in her hand, straightened her sitting posture, looked at Liang Hong fixedly, and asked, "So, have you really considered it?"

Liang Hong hesitated, she thought she would say yes categorically, but only then did she realize that her heart was not as firm as she thought.

Although she has not been in the shadow bookstore for a long time, she has already been infected by the atmosphere here.The employees of the whole company have a harmonious relationship, and the atmosphere is very comfortable. Most of them are young people who are full of vigor and vitality, not like the old bureaucracy of the alliance.Working here, Liang Hong feels like she is ten years younger. She is very happy to go to work every day, and she doesn't feel bored no matter how much she has to work.But in the league, she was already overwhelmed by dealing with a lot of complicated interpersonal relationships, and she had almost no time to breathe, and she was often not understood by others.

Comparing the two, the Shadow Bookstore is really much, much better than the Great Book Industry Alliance.

Seeing Liang Hong bowed her head and said nothing, Song Lan also breathed a sigh of relief.Don't look at him pretending to be very calm on the surface, but in fact his hands are sweating.Of course he didn't want Liang Hong to resign, but he wouldn't restrict her freedom. If possible, he still hoped that Liang Hong could figure it out on her own and take the initiative to stay here.

"I think you are very clear in your heart that even if you go back, it may not be of any use." Song Lan continued, "As far as I know, many bookstores have withdrawn from the alliance, including Qiuzhi Bookstore. If I go back, I’ll be just an empty commander. Sister Liang Hong, I don’t need to be polite to you. The alliance is no longer good. Maybe there may be a glimmer of life in the future, but it’s definitely not now. Even as a friend, I hope you can do well Think about whether you are willing to spend the rest of your life plugging this bigger and bigger hole for the league."

There was another long silence, and after a long time, Liang Hong's muffled voice was heard: "President Song, I need to think again."

"Okay," the heart hanging in her throat finally fell to the ground, Song Lan knew that since she said that, she had loosened her attitude, so she nodded, "waiting for your good news."

Liang Hong did not resign in the end. As Song Lan said, the alliance is no longer viable. Even if she is willing to go back, there may not be investors who are willing to invest money in it.The Great Book Industry Alliance, which was once a giant in the bookstore industry in southern China, fell, and what accompanied it was the complete rise of the Shadow Bookstore.

Taking advantage of the crisis in the alliance, the propaganda department of the shadow bookstore took the opportunity to carry out overwhelming publicity. When other bookstores under the alliance kept their tails between their tails and kept a low profile, the shadow bookstore expanded everywhere with a high profile.The serious and corrupt big book industry alliance is in stark contrast to the vibrant and youthful shadow bookstore, and they took the opportunity to attract a lot of fans.It can be said that at least in the southern region, Shadow Bookstore has become the most famous private bookstore, bar none.

Liang Hong also figured it out, as long as her career grows day by day, what difference does it make between being in the alliance or in the shadow bookstore?Her original intention was not an alliance, but a sense of success.So far, Liang Hong has completely come out from the shadow of the past and regained a new life. Since then, she has been devoted to Shadow Bookstore until she retires.
