I open a bookstore in the human world

On the day of the interview, the interview area of ​​the store staff in charge of Qin Shi was very lively, while the interview table of the store manager in charge of Song Lan had only two or three kittens, which was pitifully deserted.

It's not that no one has applied for the position of store manager, but Song Lan's requirements are relatively strict. The resume alone has eliminated many people, and the number of people who can enter the interview process can be counted on one hand.

It was indeed one hand. There were only four people who could participate in the interview with the store manager, including the man named Zhang Fan whom Song Lan paid special attention to.

I have to admit that although Zhang Fan's name is a bit ordinary, he is the most prominent one among the interviewees.There is no other reason, it is because he is good-looking enough.

Song Lan originally thought that the life photos he provided were pretty good, and wondered if he had posted them, but after looking at the scene, he found that the other party was actually not photogenic, and the real person was much better looking than the photos.

Even Song Lan, who is used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women, has to admit that Zhang Fan ranks high among the people (ghosts) he knows.

This had to make Song Lan a little suspicious: If a person with this condition enters the entertainment circle, I am afraid that he will have to conquer a lot of fans, right?Even if he doesn't know how to act or sing, he can be an internet celebrity, so how could he be willing to work in a bookstore?Assuming that he has a unique idea and is indeed here to apply for the store manager, then he has to find a top luxury store in the world, right?Don't you think it's a waste of his face to apply for a job in a bookstore?

With doubts, Song Lan asked Zhang Fan some more professional questions, and his answers were very decent, even impeccable.

Strange, it seems that this man is really professional.Song Lan thought to himself, and then asked the last question: "May I ask, why did you choose to come to Shadow Bookstore? I see that on your resume, it says that you have worked as a store manager for XX Bookstore for two years. As far as I know, The scale of this bookstore is much larger than ours, and it is also more famous."

Zhang Fan seemed to have guessed that there would be such a question, and he opened his mouth to answer: "Because I think that my life value can be realized more in the Shadow Bookstore."

This answer is very common, and eight out of ten interviewees would probably say that. Song Lan raised her eyebrows: "Can you be more specific?" Brother, it's useless to just flatter, without showing some real facts Come out, even if you look like a fairy, I won't want you.

"I once did a market research..." I didn't want Zhang Fan to take out a stack of A4 printed documents from the document bag he carried with him, and began to talk about the data on it, "...to sum up, I think the future of Shadow Bookstore is bright, here, I will be able to realize my life aspirations, I hope the bookstore will give me a stage to show myself, and I will definitely give the bookstore a surprise!"

Although this person's last words were exaggerated, Song Lan had to admit that the research results he showed were very careful, and the accurate analysis of the data was also methodical, which shows that he has indeed put in a lot of effort.

When he said this, Song Lan really believed that he chose the Shadow Bookstore after careful consideration, and the future of the Shadow Bookstore was really as bright as he said.

Intuition told Song Lan that there seemed to be something wrong, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find any mistakes. Considering all the conditions, this Zhang Fan was indeed the best candidate for the store manager.

As a result, there is no doubt that Zhang Fan became the store manager of the Jincheng branch of Shadow Bookstore.

"Boss, don't worry, I will work hard. I will strive to become famous within one year, make Shadow Bookstore the leader of local private bookstores within three years, and defeat Jincheng State-run Bookstore within five years!" Zhang Fan held Song Lan's hand excitedly say.

"..." This guy has really strong hands.Song Lan finally pulled out her hand, and with a stiff smile, she patted her shoulder, "It's good to be self-motivated, but remember to do what you can."

"Don't worry boss, I will work hard!" Zhang Fan clenched his fists and waved them vigorously.

Song Lan: "..." He began to doubt whether it would be a good choice for this guy who talked exaggeratedly and possibly had a second-grade chubby to be the store manager.

***

After everything was ready, the Shadow Bookstore Jincheng store officially opened.

Before the opening, Shadow Bookstore has announced the opening of the new store on Weibo, WeChat and other social platforms. At the same time, it also released the announcement of the big opening reward-all customers who shop at the Shadow Bookstore Jincheng store in the first week of opening can get free A membership card will be given as a gift, and you can also enjoy a 50% discount on the whole site.

As a new online celebrity bookstore, netizens who follow Shadow Bookstore on Weibo come from all corners of the country, and there are even many jet-lagged parties. They follow the bookstore for various reasons, some for the beauty of the staff, and some for flower and fruit tea. Small snacks come.

Jiang Siqi is one of them.

Jiang Siqi followed Shadow Bookstore's Weibo account not because of Yan Kong.A few days ago, she became obsessed with engraving seals, and wanted to try it because her hands were itchy, so she posted a post on a related forum to ask beginners how to start.The replies were very consistent, and almost everyone recommended the shadow brand material package to her, saying that it also comes with a basic tutorial, which is especially suitable for beginners.

I have to say that the seal cutting tutorial provided by Shadow Bookstore is really good, easy to understand, even a novice like Jiang Siqi who knows nothing can get started quickly.When communicating with other netizens on the forum, Jiang Siqi discovered that many newcomers got into the pit because of the seal cutting tutorial in the Shadow Bookstore.Because of this, Zuiyue, who recorded the tutorial, has a high status in the hearts of these people and is honored as a "goddess".

I learned from other people on the forum that the "goddess" also has her own personal Weibo account, and from time to time, newly recorded seal cutting tutorials will be posted on it. Shadow Bookstore.

After paying attention, I realized that this shadow bookstore is simply a treasure. There are often new good-looking cultural and creative products on the market, which makes Jiang Siqi's heart itch, and she can't wait to visit the bookstore in person.

Therefore, when the Weibo account of the Shadow Bookstore announced that the Jincheng store was about to open, Jiang Siqi jumped up and immediately decided to go to the bookstore on the first day of opening, and maybe see the frequent appearances on Weibo. What about those little brothers and sisters.

"By the way, I haven't checked where the bookstore is!" Before leaving, Jiang Siqi remembered an important thing—she didn't know the specific address of the bookstore yet.

The address is not difficult to find, there is it in Weibo, Jiang Siqi opened the Weibo of the new store opening with great interest, the smile gradually froze on her face.

What the hell!It actually opened in Lijin Mall? !For a moment, Jiang Siqi thought that there was something wrong with her eyes.

As a local resident, Jiang Siqi certainly knew what the words "Lijin Mall" meant.

Only then did Jiang Siqi discover that many netizens left messages expressing their surprise at the new store address under the Weibo post. Obviously, Lijin Mall has a "reputation"—of course not a good one.

The comment with the most likes said this: I read it several times in a row before I was sure that I read the address correctly...Dare to open a store in Lijin, you are a werewolf [doge]

Jiang Siqi immediately liked this comment.

There are also many replies under this comment. Jiang Siqi glanced at it and found that it can be roughly divided into two groups. One group believes that since Shadow Bookstore dares to open a store in Lijin, it shows that the store is confident that it can break the "curse".The other faction believes that the shadow bookstore will definitely not escape the "curse" of bankruptcy, and believes that it will go bankrupt in less than two years.

From a selfish point of view, Jiang Siqi certainly hopes that the Jincheng store of the shadow bookstore can be opened for a long time, but from a rational point of view, she thinks this is very difficult.

At the beginning, it wasn’t that there were rich and powerful merchants who settled in Lijin with full confidence, saying that they would definitely break the zero profit situation of Lijin’s stores except gold stores. What happened?The longest one persisted for three years, but still had to run away in despair with his tail between his legs.

So up to now, all the shops opened in Lijinli, except for the gold shop, have not started well and ended well, which further confirms the rumors that Lijin is haunted.

In the past two or three years, almost no merchants have dared to "challenge" this rumor. Apart from gold stores, there are no other types of stores in Lijinli, which has also led to a decline in the number of customers in Lijin.

Unless it is a customer who wants to buy gold jewelry, who goes to Lijinli for no reason?

Therefore, the fact that Shadow Bookstore opened a branch in Lijinli seems unbelievable no matter how you look at it. Isn’t the owner of the bookstore afraid that something will happen?Or is it that the other party is confident that he can break the legend of Lijin Mall?

Jiang Siqi felt that she really couldn't understand this operation, but it aroused her even stronger interest—it was the Lijin Mall, a legendary super-evil place.Every time I pass by the door, I actually want to go in and have a look, but I am ordered not to go in by the elders around me. In addition, I am quite afraid, so I have never been able to visit this "signature" building of Jincheng. Now it is There is an excuse to go and see it.

Are you scared?A little bit, of course, but more of an excitement.Jiang Siqi went out with a nervous and excited heart.

The generation of commercial streets in the old city is still as prosperous as ever. Pedestrians are crowded on the street, and businesses on both sides try to make noises to attract customers to stop. The patient honking of the horn and the yelling of pedestrians formed a noisy but unusually harmonious effect.

But in a certain part of the commercial street, the noise of the noisy city has been significantly reduced, and even the crowded street has become a little empty. This situation is more obvious in front of a certain three-storey shopping mall. .

Standing in front of this deserted shopping mall, Jiang Siqi stopped and looked up. People passing by occasionally looked at her with surprised eyes, wondering why this little girl stayed here. Aren't they afraid of running into something bad?

An old man chatting with people on the side of the road also noticed Jiang Siqi's slightly strange behavior, and gossiped to the people around him, "Look at that little girl, it's so strange, what are you doing standing in front of Lijin's gate?"

"I'm probably very curious," said the uncle next to the old man, shaking his head. "Nowadays some young people are very courageous. After hearing about Li Jin, instead of avoiding it, they even went to wander around Li Jin. Why do you want to see ghosts with your own eyes. Tsk tsk tsk, I’m really not afraid of bumping into something dirty. Here, look at that little girl who still takes pictures.”

"These people are used to living a peaceful life, and they have to find happiness for themselves..." The old man shook his head and said with emotion.

Jiang Siqi didn't know that she had become a "young man who is full of food and has nothing to do". After taking a picture of the signboard of the shadow bookstore hanging on the second floor of the mall, she took a deep breath and stepped into Li Kam Mall.
