Gu Kui seemed very cramped when he was taken to the Wan family brothers. He stood below and lowered his eyebrows and looked down. He didn't know where to put his hands. He looked at them and smiled contemptuously. After a while, Wan Ai said, "Gu Kui, we have seen him earlier, you don't have to be so nervous. Today I came to you just to learn about something from you. Come and sit down and talk."

But Gu Kui didn't move, and just whispered vaguely: "I... I didn't know your identity before, so I was confused for a while and told you about some of the things in our store. The owner has always been very nice to me, and I will not betray him anymore."

These words made the two laugh again, and Wan Rong then said coldly: "So, Gu Yuezi didn't know that you had told us many of the secrets in the store early in the morning? I think so, otherwise why would he not accept our kindness and insist on fighting with our Wan family?

"But have you ever thought about it? He will know about your affairs one day. Then you think how he will punish you, a guy who is cumbling in the inside? Hum?"

This sentence indeed made Gu Kui feel panic and his body tremble slightly: "I...I..." I couldn't say a complete word.

"So I have a way here. As long as you think of helping us to completely collapse the Gu family bookstore and make Gu Yuezi fall out from now on, the master will no longer be the master. Naturally, you don't have to worry about being punished by your master." Wan Ai said again.

The two brothers, one of them, the other one of them, put pressure on Gu Kui in a few words, cut off all his retreat, and then waited quietly for him to make up his mind. After a while, seeing that he was still hesitant, Wan Ai took out a small ingot of silver from his sleeve and slapped it on the table: "My Wan family has always been fair in their actions. As long as you are willing to help us do things, your benefits will naturally be indispensable. For example, this time, if you can tell me the details of Gu Yuezi's meeting with those bookstore owners yesterday, this silver will be yours."

First, it was threatening and then temptation, which made Gu Kui start to shake. He saw that he, who was still lowering his head, raised his eyes slightly, kept spinning the silver, and rubbed his hands repeatedly on his body with some anxiety, obviously in a fierce ideological struggle. Seeing this, Wan Ai smiled and took out another ingot of silver and placed it on the table. The meaning had been conveyed.

"I... yesterday my master asked me to serve me, so I listened to their conversation. What he meant was... let the owners of several bookstores stand together with our Gujia Bookstore, resist all the books from Wanjia Bookstore, so that your books cannot be sold in the county." With the weight of weight, Gu Kui finally made a betrayal choice.

"Oh?" Wanai and Wanrong looked at each other. As expected, things were the same as the news they had received before. It seemed that everything was under control. "How did those bosses decide?"

"They did not give a guarantee on the spot, just said they would go back and think about it. However... I was a little moved by their reaction. After all, Mr. Li said it well. Once the Wanjia Bookstore really squeezed out our Gujia Bookstore, their lives would not be easy at that time."

"Hmph! The man surnamed Li has indeed vented his anger with Gu Yuezi. No wonder he is reluctant to cooperate with us! But he just jumped and clown, it won't work. I always have to make him pay the price!" Wan Rong remembered the conversation with Li Ling a few days ago, and felt a little annoyed in his heart and couldn't help but curse.

Wan Ai coughed, stopped his younger brother from continuing to say unnecessary things, and then nodded to Gu Kui and said, "It seems that you have figured it out and will do things for our Wan family in the future. Don't worry, our Wan family has always treated you a capable person like you. As long as you can bring us more useful information, your benefits will definitely be indispensable." After saying that, he raised his hand, and the two ingots of silver had drew an arc and fell steadily into Gu Kui's arms.

This quickly showed surprise and greed on his face, and quickly hid the silver in his arms, as if he was afraid that it would escape. His actions once again attracted the contempt of the Wan brothers. As long as they could buy it with silver, it would be easy to deal with.

"Then go back and remember to notify us any news."

Gu Kui nodded, and was about to leave, but hesitated a little more. He stumbled and said, "Actually, there is another thing, I don't know if it's useful."

"You said, as long as it is about Gujia Bookstore or Guyuezi, I must know!" Wan Ai immediately became interested and said quickly.

"Just the day before yesterday, the master asked me to invite a few carving masters to discuss things in the workshop. When they heard their conversation, it seemed that they wanted to expand the book version. Also, they also said something about carving pictures on the board. I don't understand it very well, nor can I remember it very clearly."

Wan Ai thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face: "It seems that your master is thinking of taking a different approach to compete with us, but he has some ideas. Well, this news is good, I'll give you some rewards. Is there any more?" He continued to ask while throwing a small ingot of silver over.

Gu Kui took the silver with an excited smile on his face, and immediately said, "Also, I heard from my master before that the fourth volume of the Conquest of Gods will be printed and published in the early next month..."

"Oh? This is really important news! Okay, you are really useful!" Wanai was even happier when he heard this, and immediately gave two more silver ingots. It was not until this time that Gu Kui had no new news. Seeing Wanai waved his hand to him, he retreated awkwardly and then took him out of the courtyard.

It was not until he left that Wan Ai glanced at his younger brother and smiled, "How? I just said that this person could be useful? Do you think we have won over the owner of the Wang family's bookstore and have mastered the Gu family's mind, so you underestimate him too much. Moreover, with these two people for me, they can also make a mutual confirmation, so it will not be so easy for them to deceive us."

"You are still thinking more deeply, brother, I admire you." Wan Rong also sighed sincerely, "Why does it seem that Gujia Bookstore is planning to struggle and have new tricks? And what is the fourth volume of the Gods? Can it really pose a threat to us?"

"It's hard to say, but you can't be wrong to deal with it carefully. Li Ling has some skills, and if you don't say anything else, the saying that the shopping mall is like a battlefield, and if you fight in the business world, you should do your best and use whatever means you can. His Conquest of God is indeed well written, and the first three volumes have been sought after by many people, and this fourth volume will definitely be able to sell better."

"He is indeed right, but the book may not be possible. At least the Fengshen is still a little immature and unfamiliar in the words and sentences. At first glance, it is a new novel, which is far worse than Dai Chang'an and others. So I think that as long as we find the right opportunity to use Dai Chang'an's new book to suppress Fengshen, we will definitely be able to compare his. In this way, the Gujia Bookstore will inevitably make a big loss."

Wan Ai agreed with this statement and nodded, "Then let Dai Changan finish the fourth volume quickly. We must print and sell the four volumes together before the fourth volume of the Fengshen came out! At that time, we will definitely be able to steal the Fengshen market and cut off their retreat."

"Okay, I'll have someone urge Dai Chang'an to urge him later, and be sure to write the fourth volume before the end of this month."

"As for the version changes made by Gujia Bookstore, do you feel it is threatening?"

"It shouldn't be true. Books are books. Can the versions become larger and some illustrations sell at a higher price and better?" Wan Rong shook his head disapprovingly.

Although Wanai was a little uneasy, he thought that changing the version would not be possible overnight, and he needed to discuss it with his family for at least half a month, so he gave up his mind: "Then start with the gods first, and then break down the alliance between the bookstore owners and the Gu family. At that time, what else will the Gu family bookstore fight us?"

Speaking of this, the two brothers looked at each other, feeling that they were sure of winning, and laughed at the same time.

...

A few ingots of silver were placed on the table, and Gu Yuezi was amazed: "These families are really rich and powerful. In order to buy you, they are willing to spend so much money!"

"Master, I was wrong, I shouldn't..." Gu Kui said with shame again, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Yuezi: "I said that the previous things have passed, so there is no need to mention them. And this time you have made great contributions."

"Ah? Is it okay to leak some of the inside story of our bookstore to them?" Gu Kui still couldn't understand why the master and Mr. Li wanted to do all this. He was so nervous when he met the Wan family brothers face to face.

Li Ling, who was standing beside him, smiled: "You may not understand the mystery now, but I believe you will know it after August. I have given them a great 'opportunity'. I believe that if you are a family, you will definitely not let it go. But what will happen next depends on their own luck."

Gu Yuezi also smiled and nodded: "After reading the first half of the fourth volume you wrote, I believe we will win this battle! As long as they think of starting from the Gods, they will definitely make them lose blood this time!"

After pausing for a moment, he worried again: "But why do you reveal all the news about us changing the version to them?"

"This matter cannot be kept in two days. They will know that it is not about the overall situation earlier. And this way, it will be easier for Gu Kui to win the trust of them. In the future, when I really want to mislead them, it will be much easier." Li Ling smiled like a fox who had stole the old hen.

Then, he saw Gu Yuezi's face with a hint of uneasiness. He knew that he felt that his methods were a little too cruel, so he said again: "Do you still remember what I said? The mall is like a battlefield. Since you are on the battlefield, you should be determined to win and be fooled by the soldiers!"

Gu Yuezi thought about it carefully and nodded: "You said it right. This is what they committed to me first. It is also worth letting them suffer!" After that, he picked up the silver on the table and came to Gu Kui, and put them all in his hands.

This was called Gu Kui a little frightened and hurriedly pushed him: "Master, I..."

"If you ask you to take it, you will take it. They gave it to you, but now I will be the one I rewarded you. I know that your mother's illness requires money, and now the store is tightly consuming money. I can't give you too much, so I can only borrow flowers to offer Buddha." As he said that, Gu Yuezi beat Gu Kui hard and his eyes were red: "But as long as we do it well, I believe we will no longer worry about money soon."
