I open a bookstore in the human world

There are more people in the mall than imagined, this is Jiang Siqi's most direct feeling.She thought it was true, as it was said on the Internet, that there were no people in Lijinli in broad daylight, and it was as empty as a ghost town.

It seems that it is all rumors.Jiang Siqi secretly laughed at herself for thinking too much.

There happened to be a couple next to him, and the woman said triumphantly to the man, "Look, I'm right, all the spooky and haunted things are just rumors, I think this place is no different from other shopping malls, right? I'll just say Well, the Shadow Bookstore will definitely investigate before opening the store, how could it be possible to open the store in a haunted place?"

It turned out that he was also a fan of Shadow Bookstore.Thinking about it, Jiang Siqi looked around and found that besides the couple there were several young people who obviously did not come to buy gold jewelry, so there was only one possibility: to visit a bookstore.

It seems that Shadow Bookstore still has a fan base in Jincheng, and Jiang Siqi is quite pleased—as a "career fan" of Shadow Bookstore, she certainly hopes that this store will develop better and better.

The man is obviously afraid of the legend of Lijin Mall. He was dragged here by his girlfriend, otherwise he would not dare to come in if he was beaten to death.Hearing this, he showed a helpless and loveless expression, and said, "Just be happy."

Obviously, not all of them came voluntarily.

Take the elevator to the second floor, no need to look for it, the sign of Shadow Bookstore comes into view.

Like the photos on Weibo, the entrance is a very conspicuous European-style fireplace, and there are two sofas in front of the fireplace, which looks quite exotic.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people, Jiang Siqi quickly took out her mobile phone and took a few photos of the fireplace.

The young couple next to him had already been excited. The girl pulled the boy to take a picture. She took a thick foreign book from the bookshelf next to the fireplace, and pretended to sit on the sofa to pose for a photo.

There are a few girls waiting next to them, and they obviously want to take a photo of "the years are quiet".

Jiang Siqi didn't stop, mainly because she came alone and it was not easy to take pictures. Thinking that there are still many opportunities here in the future anyway, she is not in a hurry.

Jiang Siqi walked into the store, a clerk approached with a smile, handed Jiang Siqi a small shopping basket for books, and walked away quietly.Sure enough, as said on the Internet, the clerks of the Shadow Bookstore are very caring but not annoying, and more importantly, they are all very attractive.

There are not too many customers in the store, because it is the first day of business, most of them are fans who got the news from the Internet.Like Jiang Siqi, they mainly use mobile phones or cameras to take pictures in the store now, and not many actually sit down and read books.

The store is filled with soft western classical music, the candle-shaped chandelier above the head emits warm yellow light, surrounded by rows of bookshelves and the shop assistants who organize the bookshelves, the atmosphere is very good.

The bookstore is very large, divided into different areas according to the theme.Jiang Siqi wandered into the cultural and creative area and found that there were the most customers here, especially the girls, who were either picking out their favorite postcards in front of the postcard rack, or struggling between two equally favorite notebooks.Jiang Siqi walked around, picked a few products that were not available in the online store, put them in the small shopping basket, and then moved on to the next area.

She is not afraid of getting lost. The bookstore has carefully marked the direction on the ceiling, and there are instructions at every fork in the road. Guests can quickly find the place they want to go according to the direction signs.

Recording years?Looking at the place she was going to, Jiang Siqi raised her eyebrows in surprise, not quite understanding what the name meant.

"Sound Years" is obviously related to sound, but the shadow bookstore sells books, and books can't make sound, so what is this area for?

Jiang Siqi suddenly thought of the introduction of the new store she saw on Weibo, which seemed to mean that the Shadow Bookstore Jincheng store had specially opened up a record area, could it be here?

Jiang Siqi has no research on records, but she has a cousin who likes these things. Every time she goes to her cousin's house, she can see him listening to songs in the "audition room" specially opened by herself.It is said that the equipment inside was bought by my cousin with great effort, and it was expensive, which made Jiang Siqi feel frightened every time she went to the "audition room", for fear that something would be broken, and her cousin would have to find herself desperately.

Because there is such a cousin who is a record enthusiast, although Jiang Siqi is not interested in records, she also knows the current market situation of the record industry.More than once, she heard her cousin complain that the record market is getting more and more depressed, which has led to the closure of many record stores in the market, and the business of the few remaining ones is also very bad. He sometimes has to go halfway to buy a record he likes. a city.

My cousin's birthday is coming soon, why don't you go in and have a look and pick some records for my cousin as a birthday present?Thinking about it, Jiang Siqi stepped into the record section.

Unlike the cultural and creative products area, there is no customer in the record area, only a clerk who is sorting the shelves with his back to her.Jiang Siqi glanced around the space filled with various records, feeling dizzy, hesitated for a moment, walked behind the clerk, and said, "Excuse me."

The clerk turned around and showed a very standard smile that happened to show eight teeth: "Hi customer, what can I do for you?"

Jiang Siqi didn't answer, she was stunned by the appearance of the person in front of her.If the shop assistants she met before belonged to the category of "good-looking", then the tall and thin man in front of her should belong to the category of "monster".His facial features are more delicate than those of girls, his skin is milky white, and he has a perfect nine-headed figure. When he smiles, there are two small dimples at the corners of his mouth.

Jiang Siqi couldn't help swallowing, her mind was thinking quickly, desperately trying to remember if the person in front of her was an artist.

But obviously, the apron unique to the Shadow Bookstore on the man's chest told Jiang Siqi: This person is not a celebrity, but a clerk of the Shadow Bookstore.

Jiang Siqi's gaze couldn't help but fall on the name tag pinned to the man's left chest, which read: Manager, Zhang Fan, serial number...

"Hello?" Seeing Jiang Siqi's dull expression and not replying for a long time, Zhang Fan called her slightly worried.

"Uh, hello..." Jiang Siqi finally came back to her senses, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Well, I want to choose a record to give to someone else, but I don't know much about these, you can recommend it for me ?"

Zhang Fan smiled: "Of course, miss, can you briefly introduce the other party?"

Zhang Fan has a lot of research on records, which is one of the reasons why Song Lan considered choosing him as the store manager.At present, the bookstore has not recruited a suitable clerk in charge of record sales, so it can only be replaced by others temporarily, so Zhang Fan, the store manager, will appear here.

Jiang Siqi nodded: "It's for my cousin. He is 32 years old and works as a programmer, but he likes to listen to records in his spare time. His favorite is Western music. His favorite band is..."

After listening to Jiang Siqi's narration, Zhang Fan thought for a moment, then turned around and took a few boxes of records from the high shelf: "Your cousin should like all these, but considering that he usually has a lot of records, he may have already bought them. I recommend you to buy this record, it was only recorded by the XX Symphony Orchestra, and currently there are not many record stores in China that sell it."

Jiang Siqi nodded, put the record recommended by Zhang Fan into the small basket, and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do. Miss, do you have any other needs?" Zhang Fan smiled.

"Not yet," Jiang Siqi hesitated, but decided to ask, pointing to the name tag on the other party's chest, "Then what, are you the manager of this store?"

Zhang Fan nodded.

Jiang Siqi looked at him curiously: "Then why have I never seen you? Uh, I mean, I haven't seen you on Weibo of Shadow Bookstore."

From time to time, the Shadow Bookstore Weibo will post some work photos of the clerks. In addition to the ghostly clerks who are handsome, ordinary human clerks will often appear in the camera, so Jiang Siqi is more or less familiar with the clerks of the Shadow Bookstore. .But she can be sure that she has never seen Zhang Fan in the photos, otherwise she would not have mistaken Zhang Fan for a celebrity before.

Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Because I'm the new store manager, and I didn't work in Shadow Bookstore before."

Jiang Siqi was stunned: She thought that the store manager of the new store would be selected from the employees of other bookstores.

"Then you must be excellent." Jiang Siqi couldn't help saying.As a fan, she knew that Shadow Bookstore had always had high demands on its employees, let alone the store manager.

Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, just smiled and didn't speak.

"Then thank you," Jiang Siqi smiled and waved to him, "I wish your store will be better and better."

"You still attract little girls like you used to." A familiar voice sounded behind Zhang Fan but he hadn't heard it for a long time, but he didn't seem surprised at all. The long-haired white-clothed woman who appeared from time to time.

Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows: "Long time no see, it's rare to see that you're not sleeping."

Xia Lan folded her arms around her chest and raised her chin: "The dignified Second Prince of the Heaven Realm doesn't want to stay in Heaven well, what is he doing in the Human Realm?"

The corner of Zhang Fan's mouth twitched: "I should ask you this question. Dare I ask Mr. Xia, secretary of Yan Luo, the majestic Ninth Palace of the Underworld, what are you doing in the human world when you are not staying with your boss?"

After a pause, the smile on Zhang Fan's lips deepened: "By the way, I forgot, your Lord Xia Lanxia is a well-known slacker in the underworld, I am afraid that your Lord Yan Luo also understands your temperament, so I don't want to care about it." .”

Xia Lan ignored Zhang Fan's sarcasm, and said coldly: "To each other, the second prince is a well-known dandy in the Heavenly Court. I am afraid that the Queen Mother of the Jade Emperor couldn't bear to see the celestial daughters being tortured by your old man, and that's why you are so cruel." Get rid of it?"

"Who said that? After I left, which fairies didn't wash their faces with tears and look forward to my return as soon as possible?" Zhang Fan frowned, "You think everyone is like you, too lazy to do anything to you even King Yama!"

"If you don't want to invite other people, I advise you to keep your voice down." Xia Lan sneered, "Although Song Lan has gone out, he will come back anytime. I think he is suspicious of you. If you still want to If you continue to stay here, I'm afraid you have to restrain yourself."

Zhang Fan: "..." Inhaled deeply, exhaled, inhaled again, exhaled again, and said to himself: I am not angry, I am not angry, there is no need to be angry with an unlovable female ghost... Ma Dan, think about it or So angry!

Probably because he was really afraid of being found abnormal, Zhang Fan endured it, frowned and said: "My surname is Xia, I noticed it two days ago, what are you doing for a ghost to open a gold shop in the human world? Could it be that this is your hell?" latest fashion trend?"

Xia Lan raised her eyebrows: "What do you care about me? Anyway, it has nothing to do with you."

"It has nothing to do with me?" Zhang Fan sneered, "Impossible! If you didn't tell me, I would probably have guessed that you did it for—"

"Since you guessed it, why are you talking so much?" Xia Lan interrupted Zhang Fan, "Don't worry, I'll do mine and won't bother you, and I hope you won't bother me."

Zhang Fan looked puzzled: "What am I bothering you for? I wish I could stay away from you!"

After hearing this, Xia Lan nodded, said "very good", and disappeared immediately.

The action was so decisive that even Zhang Fan didn't react.

Zhang Fan: "..." Why is this female ghost always so uncute, does she know that she won't be able to marry in the future!

But... Zhang Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking fascinated by the direction in which Xia Lan disappeared.

The female ghost said that it is best not to disturb each other, which may be difficult.He could more or less guess that this time they both had the same goal, for the same person.
