I open a bookstore in the human world

Sun Changqing didn't know that there was another person who had the same mood as him at this time.

"How many people did you say came to the store and bought all of Zuiyue's works in one go?" Song Lan was also extremely surprised when he heard the news.

Yiyi nodded: "Yes, I bought them all without even telling the price." It was Yiyi who received those guests at that time, and she remembered it clearly.

Song Lan touched her chin: "This is strange..."

While talking, another clerk hurried over and said to Song Lan: "Brother Song, the calligraphy buyer is here again." While talking, he pointed in the direction of Sun Changqing.

Song Lan looked in the direction of her finger, only felt that the other person looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember, and finally Yiyi reminded him with one sentence: "Hey, he looks a bit like Mr. Sun."

Song Lan suddenly realized: Really!Isn't the man in his thirties in front of him the younger Sun Dingyi?The facial features are a bit similar, but the temperament is not the same.

Song Lan understood in an instant that the man in front of him must have something to do with Sun Dingyi.

Thinking of this, Song Lan walked towards Sun Changqing with long legs and asked, "Hello, sir, is your surname Sun?"

Seeing that those works had already been bought, Sun Changqing thought that even if he returned empty-handed, he would not have completed the task. He was about to leave, but he was shocked when he heard this sentence suddenly. When he looked back, he saw a young and handsome man. The man, with an impeccable smile on his face, and a bit of inquiry in his eyes.

"I, I am." Sun Changqing regretted the words as soon as he uttered them. He said he didn't know who this person was, so he admitted it so foolishly. What if he was a liar?

"Hello, I'm Song Lan, the owner of this bookstore." Song Lan understood and reached out to Sun Changqing.

It turned out that he was the "profiteer" that my father said.Sun Changqing paused, and thought that Song Lan was a middle-aged man with a bald head and a beer belly when he heard his father describe him. He didn't want him to look gentle, not like a businessman, but like a university professor.

But people should not be judged by their appearance. Since Dad doesn't like Boss Song, there must be a reason why he doesn't like him.Thinking of this, Sun Changqing looked at Song Lan with a bit of vigilance, and did not shake hands with him.

Song Lan couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw his unkind eyes: This look, no need to confirm, is 100% Mr. Sun Dingyi's son!

Song Lan put down her hands naturally and asked, "Did Mr. Sun ask Mr. Sun to come here?"

Sun Changqing was taken aback: Wait, how did he know that he was Sun Dingyi's son?

Song Lan explained with a smile: "Mr. Sun and your father look very similar."

Only then did Sun Changqing heave a sigh of relief, thinking that Boss Song is a careful person.

"Mr. Sun is too polite. If he wants Zuiyue's works, he can just ask directly, so why spend this money." Song Lan continued.

Sun Changqing was shocked again, thinking that Boss Song is too amazing, right?He hasn't said that he wants to buy words, how did the other party know?

"I bought eight characters for this purchase, which really cost you..."

Sun Changqing couldn't understand what Song Lan said next: What does it mean to "buy eight pieces as soon as you buy them"?No, it seems like he didn't even buy one, did he?

"Boss, he wasn't the one who bought the calligraphy before." Yiyi quickly waved her hand.

"Ah?" Song Lan was slightly surprised, and turned to Sun Changqing, "Aren't you the one who bought all Zuiyue's works before?"

Sun Changqing's face was full of innocence: "No."

Song Lan blinked: "If it's not you, then who is it?"

Sun Changqing spread his hands: "I just came here, so I don't know anything."

Song Lan: "..."

Sun Changqing: "..."

Dare to quarrel for a long time, it was all a misunderstanding.

The reason why Song Lan came to say hello was because he thought that Sun Changqing was the one who bought all the works of Zuiyue before, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Song Lan suddenly said: "So the buyer is not you?"

Sun Changqing's expression was dull: "Of course not." He is not a local tyrant!

Song Lan asked again: "Didn't Xiaowei say that you also want to buy calligraphy?" Xiaowei was the clerk who received Sun Changqing earlier.

"Then I haven't—" Sun Changqing stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking.

——Wait, before I came here, my father gave me thousands of warnings, saying that he must not let the people in the bookstore know that the book was bought by him, so why didn’t I tell myself?

Song Lan is such a smart person, he quickly understood Sun Changqing's intentions, smiled, and said: "Mr. Sun's kindness is appreciated by Zuiyue, but he really doesn't have to work so hard. If he wants the words of Zuiyue, She still has a picture that has just been completed, but it has not been hung up before it is framed, and it will be sent to Mr. Sun when it is framed."

Song Lan's words were sincere, but Sun Changqing liked him a lot. He said that although Boss Song was shrewd, he was not the kind of profiteer his father described.Sun Changqing waved his hands again and again: "Boss Song, you're welcome. My dad is just worried about dampening the enthusiasm of Teacher Zuiyue. Now it seems that his worry is unnecessary. Didn't you just buy eight calligraphy? Presumably, Teacher Zuiyue's works will be in the future. It will definitely be a hit, so the bookstore should keep the work.”

After sending Sun Changqing away, Song Lan fell into doubt again: If the buyer is not Sun Changqing, then who is it?It must not be an ordinary calligraphy lover who can have such a big hand, is it an old man like Sun Dingyi?

Xie Daonian, who watched all this silently, looked like an old god, and said calmly while pouring tea: "Since the other party bought all the works in one go, they must have other plans, and they will definitely not just disappear like this."

"You mean, they will appear again?" Song Lan's eyes lit up.

Amidst the smoke of tea, Xie Daonian stared at Song Lan with a faint smile on his lips: "I think so."

"Oh—" Song Lan lengthened the ending, still looking at Xie Daonian steadfastly.

Xie Daonian always felt that his tone was a bit strange, his brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a questioning look in his eyes, as if he was asking: Why are you looking at me like this?

Song Lan smiled and said, "Little cousin, have you noticed something?"

Xie Daonian trembled as he distributed the tea leaves: "What?"

"Have you noticed that you seem to be paying more and more attention to the affairs of the store?" Song Lan raised her eyebrows.

Isn't that right? In the past, no matter what happened in the store, Xie Daonian would not ask about it. Even if a thief came, he would probably be indifferent.But I don't know when, Xie Daonian seems to also participate in Song Lan's topic and put forward some opinions of his own.Not to mention, some ideas are really unique.It can be seen from this that Xie Daonian is not a useless person with nothing to do, he just didn't care about running a bookstore before.

Under Song Lan's scorching gaze, Xie Daonian turned his face away somewhat unnaturally, seemingly earnestly making tea, and ignored Song Lan.

Song Lan didn't poke him, and walked away with a smile.

***

Three days later, two special guests came to the Bishan branch of Shadow Bookstore, a man and a woman. The man had completely gray hair and was leaning on crutches.The woman's visual inspection is also over half a hundred, and she is well maintained. If it weren't for the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes that gave away her age, she would think she was only in her thirties from behind.

Both of them were well dressed. The old man was wearing a dark tunic suit and a fedora, while the woman was wearing a high-end suit, her hair was carefully tied, and she looked like an elite in the workplace.

The most special thing is not their dress, but their request: they want to meet the calligrapher named Zuiyue.

Zuiyue happened to be away, she was resting today, she had gone somewhere to drink.

Song Lan had already explained to the shop assistants before, pay attention to the person who said he was looking for Zuiyue, he suspected that the other party might be the buyer of that batch of calligraphy works.As soon as Yiyi who received them heard that the other party was looking for Zuiyue, she immediately called Song Lan.

Unfortunately, Song Lan was not in Bishan at this time, he was supervising a batch of new products at the postcard factory.After receiving the call, he pondered for a moment, and said to Yiyi: "Don't let them see Zuiyue for the time being, just say that Zuiyue has something to go out, you give Qin Shi the phone, and I'll talk to him."

Ever since the two people who said they were looking for Zuiyue came in, Qin Shi's attention had actually been focused here. As a ghost with keen hearing, he naturally heard Song Lan's instructions on the phone.

"Brother Song said he wanted to talk to you." Yiyi handed Qin Shi the phone.

"Ahem." Qin Shi smoothed her hair, took the phone pretending not to care, and muttered, "What's the matter, it's so mysterious."

"Qin Shi, someone is looking for Zuiyue. I suspect that they are the buyers who bought Zuiyue's works earlier. You go to the reception first to find out what they say." Song Lan said.

"Well——" Qin Shi's voice sounded reluctant, "Brother Song, it's not that I don't want to help, but you also know that I'm still in a cold war with that woman..."

"If you don't go, I guarantee that the cold war between you and her will turn into a hot war between me and you." Song Lan interrupted him mercilessly.

Qin Shi shuddered when he heard the words, apparently recalling some inhuman experiences, he didn't dare to take Joe anymore, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, isn't it just to receive two guests, I am good at this job, and I promise to complete the task !"

Hanging up the phone, Qin Shi angrily returned the phone to Yiyi, who was snickering, and left muttering: "What, anyway, my brother used to be a fierce ghost who dominated one side, and now one or two know how to bully me... "

It has to be said that although Qin Se's character is a bit frivolous, he can still hold the field in key situations.He came forward to entertain the two people who were looking for Zuiyue by name, and learned some of their reasons for coming.

"Brother Song," Qin Shi used an excuse to go to the bathroom, and took the opportunity to call Song Lan, "The accents of those two people are a bit strange, and they like to intersperse English from time to time. It's not good and I can't understand what they are talking about, but it can be seen that it must not be that easy for them to find Zuiyue."

"Speak English?" Song Lan said to himself, "Could it be Chinese?"

The more Song Lan thought about it, the more strange she became. I don't know why these people are so interested in Zuiyue all of a sudden. Could it be that the other party is really knowledgeable and fascinated by Zuiyue's calligraphy?

He suddenly thought of a possibility, and his face changed suddenly.

Song Lan felt that she still had to go back, so she hurriedly said to Qin Shi, "Qin Shi, you must keep them safe, and we'll talk about what's going on when I come."

"Brother Song, do you want to come here in person? But you're not in the factory—" Before Qin Shi finished speaking, the phone was hung up.

"Okay." Qin Se shrugged, "Then I'll try my best to appease them until Brother Song comes over... But it's strange, have I met those two people before, I always feel that they look a little familiar..."
