I open a bookstore in the human world

Song Lan and Xie Daonian just sat with Zuiyue for a whole afternoon, until the sky outside the window gradually darkened, Zuiyue wiped away her tears silently, smiled at the two of them, and said, "Brother Song, Brother Xie, sorry for wasting your time gone."

Seeing her swollen and red eyes, Song Lan was a little worried. After thinking about it for a long time, she asked carefully, "Are you... all right?"

"What could be the matter?" Zuiyue turned into the carefree and unrestrained style in the past again, and slapped Song Lan on the back, "I'm alright, girl."

Song Lan: "..." He didn't know if she was alright, but she was really strong.

Xie Daonian said suddenly: "Just figure it out."

"If I'm fine, I'll go back to work. I have seal cutting class tonight." Zuiyue smiled.

Song Lan didn't know what to say, so she nodded in agreement.

"Hey, do you really think she has figured it out?" Song Lan couldn't help asking Xie Daonian after Zuiyue left.

Xie Daonian lowered his eyes, looked at the cup of tea that had cooled down in front of him, and sighed softly, "She has a big heart."

Song Lan: "?" No, brother, I asked you if Zuiyue has figured it out, why are you talking about it with me?

Xie Daonian continued: "Actually, her ghost frightened people in the He family's old house back then, causing the He family to be destroyed in the end. She has already avenged herself. Everything now is just caused by her remaining obsession, but I think, see After leaving Mr. He, she should let go of it completely."

Zuiyue didn't really want much, just a word of apology, but she had waited for decades for a "sorry".

"Oh." Song Lan nodded, after thinking about it, she felt a little strange, and asked puzzledly, "No, how do you know what she is thinking?"

Xie Daonian raised his eyes and glanced at Song Lan, and said, "Probably just... intuition."

Song Lan: "..." Go Temiao's intuition!What kind of bookstore do you think you are so ready to open?Why don't you go hunting ghosts with me, then I will be responsible for catching ghosts and you will be responsible for saving ghosts, wouldn't it be cool.

——Song Lan found out that Xie Daonian doesn't know what kind of skills he has. Every time his ghosts have problems, he can easily solve them with a few words. It's even better than Meng Potang. Maybe it's really suitable for catching ghosts .At that time, as long as Xie Daonian opens his mouth, no matter how vicious a ghost is, it will turn into soft fingers in front of him, which is comparable to a biochemical weapon.

Of course, the slander is the slander, Song Lan is becoming more and more curious about Xie Daonian: one of the poverty alleviation targets appointed by the underworld is not a negative physique, and it is not affected in any way when entering and leaving the ghost bag, and the body temperature is surprisingly high. This strange calming effect, what is the origin of this person?

Things are really getting interesting.

***

Not long after, someone from He's enterprise approached Song Lan and said that he wanted to invest in Shadow Bookstore.

Song Lan knew well that the other party must have been sent by Mr. He for Zuiyue.

To Song Lan's surprise, the other party did not delve into the mystery of Zuiyue's identity after the meeting in the teahouse, and he was sure that Mr. He must have discovered something.

Perhaps for a dying person, nothing is important, what is important is that he fulfilled his wish.

As for He Zixian, although she also noticed something, since her father didn't say anything, she didn't ask.Although she didn't like that Zuiyue's attitude, she still sent someone to find Song Lan for investment.

In fact, it is an investment, and He's conditions for Shadow Bookstore are very favorable, almost like giving money for nothing.For this, Song Lan naturally knew well that this was the He family's compensation for Zuiyue.

It's not Song Lan's style to be rich. The money came just in time. He is planning to open another branch in the provincial capital to expand the shadow bookstore's influence.

At present, Shadow Bookstore is well-known in the bookstore industry. It cannot be said that it is a must-see place for tourists like Jianghu Martial Arts School in Bishan City, but it will often appear in the travel guides of Xingzhou or Bishan. , attracting the attention of young people, especially literary youth.

But that's all.Perhaps the Shadow Bookstore is a good place to take pictures in the eyes of Wenqing, but it is only limited to this.

Song Lan is ambitious. He is not only satisfied with opening a small literature and art store, but also wants to open a large bookstore with a reputation comparable to that of American-owned bookstores. He wants everyone, no matter what age group, to know about Shadow Bookstore. One that comes to mind is Shadow Bookstore.

Originally, Song Lan was a little worried about the funds, but with He's investment, he knew that the opportunity had come.

Song Lan heard that there was a shop in Nantian City that met his standards for rent. Afraid of being caught first, he rushed to Xie Daonian and set foot on the high-speed train to Nantian City.

In fact, Song Lan could do this by himself. The reason why he brought Xie Daonian was because he considered Xie Daonian's situation after the task was completed and returned to the underworld. With his temperament, he was afraid that he could not manage the Shadow Bookstore well.

Again, Song Lan used to be an ambitious person, but now he is an ambitious ghost. Even though the Shadow Bookstore has nothing to do with him after he leaves, he will not just sit and watch this bookstore run by him alone. in crisis.

After all, Xie Daonian is not without "criminal record".

Thinking of the difficulties that the Shadow Bookstore might encounter in the future, Song Lan felt heartbroken, and even considered whether to wait for Xie Daonian to pass away before leaving, or wait for Xie Daonian to become a family and have a suitable heir...

But at present, these two possibilities are far away. Song Lan had no choice but to bring Xie Daonian with him when doing things as much as possible, and let him learn how to do business with him.

It can be said that Song Lan also broke his heart for the Shadow Bookstore.

As for Xie Daonian, he actually wanted to refuse, but seeing Song Lan's devotion to work, his lips parted, and he didn't say the word of refusal.

So Song Lan was inseparable from Xie Daonian wherever he went.

Otherwise, hard work will always pay off. So far, Xie Daonian has a little understanding of some tricks in the business field, so he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the shop for rent.

Is it too big?Xie Daonian frowned and looked at Song Lan in confusion.Could it be a mistake?

Song Lan didn't look surprised at all. She walked around the empty store on the two floors, and finally nodded slightly, obviously quite satisfied.

Xie Daonian also gradually regained his composure, lowered his voice and asked Song Lan, "Are you really planning to rent this place?"

The upper and lower floors add up to a thousand square meters, right?Before, their largest store was the main store in the old street, which was less than [-] square meters, and it was the result of two expansions.Now that I have rented such a large place all of a sudden, and it is still in the busiest area of ​​the provincial capital, the rent alone may be a lot of money, right?

Xie Daonian knew that the bookstore had received a large sum of investment from the He family, but he did not expect that Song Lan planned to use all the money in the branch store. What if it lost money?You know, the contract was signed for three years, and the liquidated damages were quite high. The combined rent was enough for them to open another small branch in Xingzhou.

Even though he was as calm as Xie Daonian, he couldn't sit still at this moment.He doesn't care about money, money is really not important to him, what he cares more about is Song Lan's mood.If the bookstore is really at a loss, Song Lan should be very sad...

Before he knew it, Xie Daonian didn't realize that his feelings for Song Lan had gradually changed. From the beginning of indifference to the present, it was the first time that he had developed a little affection for things other than planting flowers and drinking tea. Interest—he really wanted to know how far the Shadow Bookstore could go under Song Lan's leadership.

Facing Xie Daonian's doubts, Song Lan's eyes were firm: "Yes, I decided to open a new branch here."

He has investigated, this area is the most prosperous area in Nantian City, not far from the famous local pedestrian street, surrounded by many shopping malls, both local residents and tourists from other places like to go shopping in this area, the flow of people There is no need to worry.

In addition, there is another very important reason...

Seeing what Song Lan said, Xie Daonian didn't say anything, just nodded slightly: "Since you have already made up your mind, let's go ahead and do it." For some reason, he must not doubt Song Lan's ability, even though he is a member of the Shadow Bookstore The legal representative, once something happens, he will bear all the consequences.

But what puzzled Xie Daonian was that even though every inch of land was expensive, the rent was not as high as he had imagined, and it could even be said to be a bit cheap.

Another thing that is quite strange is that the temperature in this shop is much lower than outside, because Xie Daonian's body temperature is naturally higher than that of ordinary people, and he feels this change more clearly.

Seeing someone come to see the house, the landlord looked very happy, and he dragged the two of them to talk about it, as if he was afraid that they would not rent it.

Xie Daonian is puzzled: Generally speaking, there is no need to worry about no one renting the shop in this area, right?The landlord's attitude is really strange.

Song Lan didn't seem to notice the landlord's abnormality, and quickly negotiated the price and signed the contract. The landlord smiled and ran away with the contract, as if there was something terrible chasing him behind him.

Xie Daonian felt that something was wrong, and when he looked at Song Lan again, he saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with an expression of determination to win.Xie Daonian frowned, and his intuition told him that Song Lan seemed to be hiding something.

"You rented this shop?" A voice sounded from the door.

The two turned around and saw that it was a well-dressed middle-aged elder sister.The eldest sister's eyes lit up when she saw the appearance of the two, and she spoke even more coquettishly: "I work in the clothes store next door. I heard that someone rented this place, so come and have a look."

Saying that, the middle-aged elder sister didn't care whether Song Lan and the others agreed or not, she walked in on her own, and commented as she walked, "Tsk tsk tsk, there are really people renting this shop."

The elder sister's words are a bit strange!Xie Daonian's heart moved, and he looked at Song Lan again.

Song Lan smiled slightly, as if she didn't know anything, and as if she knew everything well, she asked, "Sister, what do you mean? This is the city center, so of course you don't have to worry about renting it."

The eldest sister's expression was a bit weird, the kind of expression that wanted to say something but was a little hesitant.

Song Lan smiled slightly: "Sister, are you talking about the rumors in this store?"

The elder sister's eyes lit up, and she blurted out: "You know that too?"

Song Lan smiled lightly: "I've heard of it, but I personally think it's just nonsense."

The eldest sister waved her hands again and again, showing a gossiping expression: "No, no, young people, don't say that. My clothing store has been operating here for ten years, but I have seen a lot of strange things with my own eyes."

After a pause, seeing that Song Lan still looked calm, the eldest sister was obviously a little disappointed, and her voice raised a little on purpose: "Do you know why the rent of this store is cheap? Because I heard that it is cursed here! As long as you rent There is no one who does business in this shop without losing money! In the past ten years, there have been many shopkeepers here and there, such as coffee shops, restaurants, clothing stores, and a beauty salon. I can’t remember exactly, but I’ve changed it almost a few times, and none of them made money, and after that, no one dared to rent the shop here.”

Xie Daonian came to a sudden: No wonder the landlord would be so happy when he learned that Song Lan was willing to rent, and no wonder, the rent here is cheap, and feelings are the reason.

——It’s cheaper to rent out, that’s better than being idle, right?

However, Song Lan must have known about this beforehand, and he dared to rent it. Isn't he afraid that the bookstore will repeat the same mistakes?Xie Daonian thought to himself.

The aunt said with an excited face, but Song Lan's expression remained the same, which made the aunt feel bored, and said awkwardly: "Well, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I'll go back to the store."

Song Lan didn't hold back.
