Chapter 50 Help
Shopkeeper Hu's feet felt windy, but his hands were tightly covering his chest.
Don’t drop the manuscript!
"Shopkeeper, why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Manager Zhao asked in confusion when he saw Shopkeeper Hu's appearance.
Shopkeeper Hu stopped and said slowly, "No, it's okay."
Manager Zhao's eyes fell on Shopkeeper Hu's hand covering his chest, and he couldn't help being shocked: "Shopkeeper, your heart hurts?"
"Who's feeling hurt?" Shopkeeper Hu glanced around and lowered his voice, "Brother Zhao, come here, let me show you something."
There is a room in the printing house where Manager Zhao rests. After the two of them entered, Shopkeeper Hu carefully took out the manuscript and said, "Take a look."
"Still mysterious——"
Manager Zhao stretched out his hand and was suddenly patted by Shopkeeper Hu: "Hold it carefully."
"What kind of treasure do you care so much about?" Manager Zhao disagreed, but his eyes changed when he looked inside.
Xin You put down the book, stood up and said hello: "Mr. congratulations."
He Qingxiao nodded slightly and stopped when he noticed that shopkeeper Hu had been replaced by Xin You.
Xiaolian curled her lips: "If you don't see a few people come in all day, who can read a book?"
He Qingxiao nodded in response and walked towards the familiar row of bookshelves.
Then she withdrew her gaze and returned to the book in front of her.
Finally, when Manager Zhao finished reading, Shopkeeper Hu looked expectantly: "How?"
"In that case, I'm sorry to bother Mr. He." Xin You stood up and saluted He Qingxiao generously.
Manager Zhao jumped up and asked: "What about the back?"
"Master He is here." The waiter greeted him enthusiastically.
It took a long time. Shopkeeper Hu was waiting anxiously and his whole body was filled with excitement. He finally couldn't help but urge: "Have you finished reading? Have you finished reading?"
Master He couldn't have come to her boss specifically to inquire about gossip out of curiosity, right?
"Do you need help from me to find out who is instigating this?"
He Qingxiao thanked him and put one hand on the tea cup.
"Stop talking." Manager Zhao kept his eyes on the manuscript and reached out his hand to cover Shopkeeper Hu's mouth with precision.
The waiter had a serious look on his face: "Don't talk nonsense, Mr. He, is that called rubbing books? It's to show your face and bring glory to your family."
It is undoubtedly comfortable to deal with people who are straightforward and generous.
Xin You held her chin with one hand and looked in the direction of He Qingxiao.
Shopkeeper Hu discussed the engraving arrangements with Manager Zhao.
The clerk has long been accustomed to He Qingxiao appearing from time to time. When Mr. He is not busy, he likes to come to the bookstore to kill time.
Her calm look made Shopkeeper Hu feel that she was making too much fuss, so he hurriedly reported the arrangements for engraving new books in detail.
Xinyou's reaction made He Qingxiao relax.
Seeing that Manager Zhao was like this, he knew that there was no problem. Old Zhao was not a person who liked to read story books. Even Mr. Ping An's book was "The Peony".
Xin You sent He Qingxiao out and met Shopkeeper Hu who was coming over in a hurry.
Knowing that his words could easily be misunderstood, He Qingxiao explained calmly: "I often come to the bookstore to read, and I hate the act of setting fire to books."
"We can only find out whether he is a human or a ghost after the second book comes out. What do you think of the manuscript that my employer bought?"
"It's gone? How could it be gone? So what Wang Sheng saw from the window was a human or a ghost?" Manager Zhao was completely unable to accept the cruel fact that not only was the story not finished, but it also stopped at a critical point.
"Yes." Xin You replied calmly, feeling a little weird in her heart.
Xin You is not a show-off person. If someone is willing to help if there is something she can't do at the moment and has no bad intentions, she will certainly not be stupid enough to refuse.
Mr. He seems to like travel books very much.
Xin You was at the front bookstore, sitting at Shopkeeper Hu's seat, picking up a book and flipping through it.
Xin You was very curious about what Master He wanted to say to him.
Is Master He being too kind?
"Of course I hope to find out the person who instigated the craftsmen, but I think it would be too troublesome for Mr. He." Xin You said politely.
She directly led He Qingxiao to Shopkeeper Hu's temporary resting area, poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Master He, have some tea."
He Qingxiao was not a long-winded person and went straight to the point: "I heard that someone deliberately set fire to the bookstore a few days ago."
"That's not possible. If there are too many chairs, there will be more people reading."
Xiaolian looked over, her expression suddenly subtle.
"Master——" Shopkeeper Hu's eyes widened when he saw He Qingxiao and Xin You coming out of the room where he was temporarily resting, "Master He?"
Shopkeeper Hu chuckled: "No more."
Xiaolian whispered to the waiter: "Liu Zhou, I think we should put some chairs here so that we can sit and read."
Just as he was talking, a person walked in.
"How can people be the same? You, the shopkeeper, don't even have 20,000 taels to buy a bookstore." Manager Zhao was still thinking about the unfinished story, "This story is worth buying. I need to print the book quickly."
Li Li was taken to the government and given a beating. Because the arson did not cause any real harm, he was only locked up for a few months before being released. So far, nothing has been found.
The reading time was very slow and fast. Xin You was immersed in the book and found a shadow falling from above.
She raised her head.
The hall of Qingsong Bookstore was very large, blocked by rows of bookshelves, and the vermilion figure soon disappeared.
Xin You was stunned for a moment, then said: "Master He, come with me."
Xiaolian poked the clerk and whispered: "There are really people who read books."
Last time, I reminded her that the bookstore was expensive.
He hopes that Qingsong Bookstore can continue to operate for a long time.
He Qingxiao's words were beyond Xin You's expectation: "Is there a convenient place for Miss Kou to talk?"
He Qingxiao nodded slightly and walked out of the bookstore.
"Master He is leaving?"
"Why is the shopkeeper so anxious?" Xin You asked.
"The boss bought this?" Manager Zhao was shocked.
"I came to Brother Zhao to discuss this. Li Li's incident has been a wake-up call for us. We cannot be careless when engraving new books this time. The craftsmen only look for those who are in the owner's hands, and the manuscript must be strictly guarded against leakage..."
At this moment, Xin You was really stunned, and even involuntarily came up with a guess: Could Master He have thoughts about her?
This speculation only lasted for a moment, and disappeared when it touched those clear and magnanimous eyes, but the doubts only deepened.
Shopkeeper Hu sighed: "Yes. Brother Zhao, why is this little girl from my boss so powerful? Brother, I stay in the bookstore every day and read hundreds of nonsense stories, but I haven't found any decent ones."
You can meet an amazingly talented book writer just by leaving home."
Normally, shopkeeper Hu would have scolded me. He thought about his own mood when reading the manuscript and endured it.
The man's well-jointed fingers were as white as jade, and his eyebrows looked even more graceful under the scent of tea.
"Just follow the shopkeeper's arrangement. By the way, does our bookstore have many travel books?"
"My previous old boss liked to collect travel notes. Our bookstore actually saved some, but because they were not easy to sell, we put them away and only put a few books outside."
Xin You smiled and said, "The shopkeeper will put out a few more books."
She can't repay Master He for his help at the moment, so she can express her gratitude through a book first.
