I open a bookstore in the human world

Song Lan's complexion changed, and just as she was about to turn her head, a lazy voice came out calmly: "Okay, thank you Boss Song in advance."

Only then did Song Lan realize that Xia Lan fell asleep behind the counter again.

"..." He began to suspect that it was not because of some serious matter that this person was so eager to drive him away just now, but because she wanted to sleep, right?

Then again, is this guy really a ghost?Is there really such a lazy ghost in the underworld?

I really want to know how she got the ghost envoy certificate in the first place.

After leaving the Lazy Gold Store, Qin Se, who was logging into a certain music app with her mobile phone to watch the live broadcast of the beautiful lady, rushed up and asked energetically, "How is it, Brother Song, did you find anything unusual? "

Song Lan squinted at him: "You are really promising, you dare not stay in the store, but watch the live broadcast here."

Qin Shi chuckled, and said with a straight face: "Brother Song, it's not that you don't know my strength. If you stay in there for a long time, I'm afraid you'll be exposed. It's better to come out. To be honest, the gold here is as fine as the ones downstairs. The home is much better, and I can't stand it after just going in for a while, and I didn't feel that strong discomfort in the gold shop downstairs before."

Song Lan nodded, agreeing with this point.

"However, Brother Song, do you think Xia Meiren is really a ghost? If that's the case, why isn't she afraid of those gold?" Qin Se asked curiously.

Song Lan frowned: "I don't know either... maybe not all ghosts are afraid of gold? Or maybe her strength is stronger than we imagined. You know, some high-level ghosts are not afraid of these things, even if they let you The other party's expression didn't change as he was driving under the sun at noon."

"Wow, isn't that almost human?" Qin Shi sighed.

"It's different," Song Lan shook her head seriously, with a complicated look on her face, "They are much better than humans."

Ghosts can go to the sky and enter the earth, and they can live forever, but mortals don't have this kind of ability.It can be said that the high-level ghosts are almost the same as the immortals in the sky. In fact, ghosts like the King of Hades in the Ten Temples can also accept the canonization of the heavens, and they can be regarded as a kind of immortals in name.

This is why Song Lan has always been obsessed with wanting to be a civil servant in the underworld. Like the mortal world, there are class differences in the underworld. Ordinary little ghosts are equivalent to ordinary people in the human world. Only by constantly climbing up can they become the elite of the underworld and realize themselves ideals and aspirations.

So Song Lan can't understand that Xia Meiren in the Lazy Gold Store is clearly a high-level ghost, and her strength may be higher than what Song Lan estimated. This female ghost sister chose to hide and sleep in the human world, looking like the biggest sleeper in the world.

What a waste of strength!Song Lan thought bitterly.

***

At the same time, inside the lazy gold store.

A strange voice suddenly remembered that at the same time, a human figure slowly loomed beside Xia Lan's reclining chair. The shadow was about as tall as an adult man. It could be seen that he had a good figure and well-developed muscles, as if he had been doing physical labor all year round. look.

"My lord, how can you still be able to sleep?" Shadow complained in his tone, "Now that another ghost has found this place and wants to open a shop, aren't you worried at all?"

Xia Lan didn't open her eyes, she just yawned lazily: "What are you afraid of, the other party is just a low-level ghost, it won't affect us."

Heiying felt wronged: "My lord, I remember you didn't say that at the beginning. More than two years ago, this mall was still my site, but one day you came here, said you liked this place, and even subdued me. Now there are other ghosts who have taken a fancy to this place, why don't you express it?"

Xia Lan's eyes slowly opened a crack, glanced at the black shadow, and said slowly: "How can it be the same? Back then, you were a ghost, scaring people everywhere in this shopping mall, and scared most of the merchants away. As a ghost envoy of the underworld, don't you care?"

Heiying was at a loss for words, and then he defended: "Actually, I didn't expect to influence other people. I just wanted to frighten the unscrupulous boss back then. If he didn't default on wages, I wouldn't ask him for debt at that time. No Thinking of being so unlucky, accidentally being involved in a machine with potential safety hazards... Even so, that black-hearted rotten person only paid tens of thousands of dollars to send my family away, and even my white-haired old mother gave him a bed. It's useless to kneel! My lord, you don't know, my soul was watching by me at that time, but I couldn't do anything, you don't know how painful I am!"

Recalling the past, Soi Ying became a little crazy, and his tone became hasty: "I swore at that time that I would take revenge! Sure enough, God knows, that black-hearted man will be involved in a conspiracy soon. I went bankrupt, my family was ruined, but I also missed the time to go to the underworld to reincarnate, so I had to wander around in the human world. I can’t go back home, and I’m afraid of scaring my family. They have suffered enough, and it’s hard work Life has calmed down, and I don’t want to disturb them anymore. I have nowhere to go, and I’m afraid of the sun, so I can only stay in Lijin. I participated in the construction here, and I’m familiar with everything inside. It's like my second home."

"Who knew that I was born with a bad life. The owner who took over the mall went bankrupt not long after, and the shops inside were also at a loss. When I went out for a walk in the middle of the night, I was accidentally seen by someone. People outside began to say that Lijin was haunted. ——Uh, although the facts seem to be the same... All in all, I didn't expect such a series of things to happen later, I just wanted to avenge myself." Soi Ying felt that he was very wronged.

"Okay, okay, don't mention everything in the past, isn't it all better now?" Xia Lan waved her hand, not sure if she was trying to comfort her subordinates, or if she was too lazy to listen to him recalling the tragic past like Mrs. Xianglin.

"Thanks to my lord, if you hadn't appeared to subdue me, I'm afraid I would have to hide in the mall right now. Don't you know, just a few days before you came, I heard from the mall staff that the mall was going to find some A Taoist priest came to exorcise ghosts. You said, if I really meet a capable Taoist priest, I really can’t even be a ghost right now.” Hei Ying’s tone was still in shock.

"It's also a coincidence. At that time, I just wanted to find a safe place to be quiet for a few days. When I passed by Lijin, I found this place was very suitable. Although it is in a busy city, there are not many people. It is said that the big hermit hides in the city, and there is no better place to hide than here. It's over." Xia Lan was also touched by some memories of Heiying's words, and said with emotion, "I didn't know what was going on after the investigation, so I took you in and rented this store. Successfully lived in seclusion in the human world."

"But I still don't quite understand why you choose to open a gold shop, my lord? Even if you are not afraid of gold, if you stay here for a long time, it will still be affected to some extent, right?" Black Shadow asked suspiciously.

"What do you know, as a ghost, I dare to open a gold shop, so that I won't be afraid of being suspected of my identity-have you ever seen a ghost who dares to touch gold? This will save me a lot of trouble, although I'm not afraid of those ghost exorcists in the human world, but it's annoying to have to move all the time. I might as well sleep if I have this time. Although I'm not completely immune to gold, the impact is almost negligible. I am dignified If the high-level civil servants of the underworld are afraid of these low-level evil spirits, then they should not hang around in the ghost world."

"Yes, yes, your lord is mighty!" Hei Ying flattered him.

"Okay, don't say that these are all gone, there is a task for you." Xia Lan said seriously.

"My lord, please speak." Soi Ying said seriously.

"Help keep an eye on that bookstore, and report to me if there is any movement from the other party."

Hei Ying was stunned: "My lord, didn't you say that the person surnamed Song is just a low-level ghost envoy and won't affect us?"

Xia Lan gave Heiying a white look: "Does this have anything to do with me asking you to supervise them?"

"But, but..." The black shadow was in a mess, feeling that he couldn't keep up with his master's train of thought.

"It's nothing serious, and you don't need to know the inside story, just do it." Xia Lan said in a serious tone.

"Yes, my lord!" Seeing what Xia Lan said, Hei Ying didn't dare to say anything, and quickly disappeared.

"Hey, if it wasn't for paying back the favors I owed back then, would this girl have wasted her beauty sleep time paying attention to them? This is life..." Xia Lan on the recliner said to herself, and changed to a more comfortable one. Sleep peacefully.

***

The trip to the Lazy Gold Store was a small episode. Song Lan didn't think about what to do with Xia Lan at first, but just wanted to come to spy on her, to see if this strange female ghost would like to open a bookstore beside her. What opinion.After all, some ghosts like to walk alone and don't want their territory to be occupied by other ghosts.

Fortunately, Xia Lan didn't show too much repulsion, and Song Lan felt relieved and concentrated on opening the business.

Don't worry about the products, the factory has already contacted the factory to buy a batch of goods, Shadow Bookstore has its own purchase channels, and there is also a cultural and creative supplies factory under its name, so there are generally no surprises.More important now is the recruitment of manpower.

Because there are many gold shops in Lijin Mall, Song Lan dare not send those ghosts to stay here. It's okay for ordinary shop assistants to find a trustworthy and capable shop manager.

The store manager must first of all be experienced and have an understanding of the book market, especially the local book market. It is best to be familiar with the operation model of the shadow bookstore, and at the same time be good-looking—the last point alone may be screened out. Many people have been lost.

Or just slightly lower the requirements for appearance?Song Lan is not very satisfied with the resumes he has received so far, and the candidate for the store manager is still undecided.

Anyway, the store manager is different from the clerk. The store manager has his own office and doesn't need to stay in the bookstore all day. Even if it is a little shabby, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?Song Lan flipped through the resume and sighed softly.

——Oh, I really can't find a suitable candidate.

Hey, this young man is in good condition.I used to be the store manager of a bookstore in this city, and I have been in the book industry for six years. The life photos on my resume do not seem to have any traces of excessive PS, and I look handsome, which meets my recruitment requirements for a store manager.

Song Lan took out the resume, looked at the man named Zhang Fan again and again, and said that he was on the candidate list.
