Lu Min came today to participate in the late-night reading club that started at eleven o'clock in the evening. Not long ago, the Shadow Bookstore launched the "Shadow Late Night Reading Club" event, which was held on time every Friday from eleven o'clock in the evening to six o'clock in the morning of the next day. I participated once last week and felt very good, and decided to continue participating this week.

Since there is no need to go to work or class the next day, more people come to the reading club than Lu Min imagined. There are all kinds of people, including company white-collar workers with exquisite makeup, young and beautiful college girls, and over forty people. A bald-headed [-]-year-old uncle, and even a muscular boy who looks like a migrant worker. They all come from different classes and work in different jobs. It is this book club that connects them and becomes friends.

It was eleven o'clock, and the scattered customers in the store had already gone home to sleep, but for those who came to participate in the late-night reading club, the wonderful night had just begun.

Lu Min was a little pleasantly surprised to find that most of the people in this book club came last week, and there were even a few new faces. Everyone greeted each other familiarly, as if they had known each other for a long time.

The tables and chairs in the store are gathered in the middle, and everyone sits around the table. On Lu Min's left is the bald old man, and on the right is a young boy dressed up very charmingly. Both of them are book friends she met last time. .

"What books did you bring today?" The uncle greeted Lu Min with a smile. At first Lu Min thought he was just a small leader of a company or unit when he saw his bald beer belly. He is a poet, not only well-known in this city, but even in Nanhai Province.

As for the flirtatious and even gay boy on her right, Lu Min thought that he had gone to the wrong place, and that a person dressed like this should go to a nightclub instead of a bookstore.It was only slowly that she learned that despite the fact that this boy looked a little weird in his outfit, and even looked a little girly to outsiders, his job was a children's dance teacher, and besides dancing, his favorite thing was reading.Talking about those esoteric and difficult philosophy books abroad, he is clear and clear, and he understands much better than ordinary people. It is said that he is still learning German by himself, just to be able to read and even translate the original German works.

It is true that people cannot be judged by appearances.Lu Min was a little ashamed of his thinking habit of judging people by their appearance, and secretly made up his mind that he would never look at people so superficially in the future.

The little boy brought an original German book. Lu Min stuck out her tongue after asking the name: She knows this book, and it is said to be extremely profound. Not many people can understand the Chinese version, let alone the German version. It's the original.

Last time the host of the book club was Lin Se, but this time it was actually Song Lan who rarely showed up in front of everyone.

Lu Min had heard many shop assistants mention this "Brother Song" before, but he hadn't really seen him many times, and only had a quick glimpse of him occasionally, and it was the first time he had close contact with Song Lan until today.

There was always a decent smile on Song Lan's lips, and her humorous speech attracted many girls to laugh frequently.

The study session was very successful, until the eastern sky turned white, and the morning market on the street outside was set up one after another. Although everyone didn't sleep all night, they were all very energetic, and they made an appointment to see each other next week , go home to catch up on sleep,

"Is there a reporter coming to interview?" Song Lan was working in her "office" that day, when she suddenly received a call from Happy Ghost, saying that a person who claimed to be a reporter came to their store and said that he wanted to write an issue about Shadow Bookstore It is best to see the boss.

"Okay, you guys entertain him first, I'll be here soon." After hanging up the phone, Song Lan's face flashed with joy—a reporter took the initiative to come to the door?That would be great.

Song Lan hurried to the bookstore, and found that the pervert was wandering around the bookstore with the female reporter. She didn't know what the boy said, which made the reporter smile and seemed to be in a very good mood.

The satyr seemed to sense Song Lan's arrival, glanced at him, and greeted with a smile: "Brother Song, are you here?"

After finishing speaking, he leaned closer to the female reporter's ear and whispered something, and the female reporter also looked over.

Song Lan finally understood why the pervert was so enthusiastic—although this female reporter was not a great beauty, she could still be called delicate and handsome. No wonder he smiled like a big morning glory. This was the reason.

"Hello, I'm one of the managers of this bookstore. My name is Song Lan." Song Lan greeted the reporter politely.

"Hello Boss Song, I'm Yuan Mengyin, a reporter from Nanhai Life Monthly." The female reporter smiled at him and showed her press card.

Nanhai Life Monthly?Song Lan's heart moved. He knew that this magazine was quite well-known in Nanhai Province. With the purpose of "focusing on life and people's livelihood", it covered all aspects of life, fashion, food, travel, entertainment, people's livelihood and other themes. Today, the paper media has gradually declined, but it still maintains a good circulation. It can be regarded as one of the influential newspapers and magazines in Nanhai Province.

At first, Song Lan thought it was just a reporter from the tabloid in Xingzhou who had taken a fancy to their bookstore and planned to come for an interview, but she didn't expect the other party to be so powerful.He couldn't help being a little stunned: Has the reputation of their bookstore spread beyond Xingzhou City?

"It's like this," Yuan Mengyin explained the reason, "Our monthly magazine is going to hold a bookstore special event, and we plan to introduce twelve distinctive bookstores in Nanhai Province. I heard that your Shadow Bookstore is the first 24-hour bookstore in Xingzhou. , and it is also the third non-closing bookstore in Nanhai Province, so I want to come and have a look."

Only then did Song Lan realize: It turned out that it wasn't because their bookstore was famous, it was just a coincidence that they caught a ride.

But listening to what Yuan Mengyin said, it is not certain whether the Shadow Bookstore will be included in the magazine or not. The important thing is to see their performance this time.

Knowing Yuan Mengyin's reason for coming, Song Lan became more enthusiastic, and calmly winked at the lecher, who understood, and immediately went to Tang Chi for a cup of coffee and snacks.

"Let's sit down and chat slowly," Song Lan pulled out a chair for Yuan Mengyin with a gentlemanly demeanor, and saw the pervert bring coffee and snacks, set them up for her, and introduced with a smile, "Try it, we have a The coffee and pastry ingredients are excellent, and the guests are full of praise.”

Yuan Mengyin smiled slightly, obviously used to seeing a lot of such self-promotional behaviors, she just lightly picked up the coffee cup and took a polite sip.

The coffee entered the mouth, and the mellow taste permeated the mouth. Yuan Mengyin's eyes widened slightly, and she couldn't help but take another sip.

This taste is too good, right?Yuan Mengyin narrowed her eyes happily.

Seeing her appearance, Song Lan knew that this interview was off to a good start.

"Ahem," Yuan Mengyin is also considered an experienced old reporter. She soon realized her gaffe and immediately returned to normal. Activity?"

Song Lan smiled, and began to introduce Yuan Mengyin's late-night reading club in detail.

Yuan Mengyin listened carefully while taking notes. From time to time, she took a sip of coffee and a small cake. She felt that although this shadow bookstore was not the biggest and best bookstore she had ever seen, it was one of the most satisfying bookstores in terms of service.

Song Lan also turned on the computer and showed Yuan Mengyin the photos they took at the book club.

Yuan Mengyin nodded frequently, and asked a few more questions that she had prepared. Song Lan's answers made her very satisfied.

Then Yuan Mengyin interviewed several customers in the bookstore. Some customers were generous, while others were shy. However, their answers made Song Lan very pleased: everyone said a lot of good things about Shadow Bookstore.

Before leaving, Song Lan specially asked Tang Chi to prepare some pastries that are easy to carry and store, packed them in beautiful boxes and gave them to Yuan Mengyin, and said with a smile, "We make homemade desserts in the store, and bring them home for family, friends and colleagues to try." .”

Yuan Mengyin graciously accepted Song Lan's kindness, because the snacks at Shadow Bookstore were so delicious, even if she wanted to refuse, she really couldn't say it against her will.

Of course Yuan Mengyin also knows that Song Lan is so enthusiastic about her because she hopes that Shadow Bookstore can be selected as one of the twelve bookstores. Although she prefers Shadow Bookstore in public and private, she is not the editor-in-chief after all, and she dare not promise to say At that time, I will definitely be able to choose this bookstore.She told Song Lan these words directly, and Song Lan smiled understandingly, and said, "Understood, if you can't be selected, it's because our bookstore doesn't do enough. Thank you, Reporter Yuan."

Yuan Mengyin felt more and more that Boss Song's success was not unreasonable.
