Chapter 263: Qingqing Bookstore
Kou Jing can see the past and the future, this ability is indeed enviable, but what he said half and half left is annoying, if he can't beat him, he will definitely beat him.
In less than three days, Wu Yafei brought good news to Mu Qing, there is a Western restaurant that needs to be subleased, the location is good, if Mu Qing wants, he can help negotiate it.
Mu Qing personally went to the western restaurant to inspect and found that the location was good, diagonally opposite a high school, and there were many schools within a radius of three kilometers nearby, including kindergartens, primary schools, junior high schools, high schools and a junior college, and Xuanxuan's Yangcheng College was not far away.
And this western restaurant is a single building, about 150 square meters on the first floor, a total of two floors, once a small warehouse on a street in Yangcheng, and later rebuilt, but I don't know why only two floors were built.
Mu Qing was still quite satisfied, and entrusted Wu Yafei to negotiate with the owner of the western restaurant, I don't know how much money was taken down, but I knew that Mu Qing was very rich, and the western restaurant was closed the next day after the negotiation, and on the third day, construction workers were stationed and began to demolish the decoration of the western restaurant.
Mu Qing is very talented, and he personally designed the bookstore, maybe he prepared it a long time ago, so the design drawings were quickly taken out, and judging from the renderings, it felt very good, warm and petty bourgeoisie.
"Miss Mu, in fact, I don't understand why you want to open a bookstore, the location here is very good, if you open a café, business should not be bad, bookstores, as far as I know, there are few bookstores in the country that are really profitable, and many well-known bookstores with decades of history are closing down one after another."
Mu Qing is very attentive to the bookstore, so he often enters the bookstore in person to supervise the renovation workers, and Wu Yafei also takes the opportunity to come here often, Wu Yafei said to Mu Qing after secretly searching for information.
In the past, Wu Yafei thought that the bookstore was good, but after checking the information, he found that in recent years, people's demand for paper books has continued to decline, and the reading volume of e-books has skyrocketed, coupled with the influence of e-commerce, even if you want to buy books, there are many e-commerce channels to buy.
Coupled with the increasing number of municipal libraries and school libraries in various places, it can be said that the operation of traditional bookstores has been very bad, many well-known bookstores are constantly closing down, and there are very few new bookstores in the market.
"I know, I didn't open a bookstore for money"
"Can you tell me why?"
"For a wish, my grandparents and my parents, are teachers, since my grandfather, has an obsessive attitude towards reading, I used to have a lot of books at home, my father's only wish was to open a bookstore, his own bookstore, you can read to your heart's content, carefree reading.
But this wish was not fulfilled by my father, when I was 20 years old, the downstairs neighbor smoked bacon at home, accidentally caused a fire, my mother and all the books in the family were burned, and then my father died of depression, so I did this to fulfill one of my father's wishes"
"I'm sorry, Miss Mu, I didn't mean to"
Wu Yafei looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, he didn't know that she had such a tragic story, and his heart suddenly moved with compassion, and his heart hurt for no reason.
"It's okay, it's all over, I like to read books myself, in fact, this is half my wish"
"You're a girl with a story"
"Thank you"
Mu Qingwan smiled, like a delicate flower blooming in winter, Wu Yafei felt that the sun was shining outside, and his mood was extremely happy.
With the strong financial support of Mu Qing, the renovation workers worked in three shifts and worked overnight, completely erasing the traces of the western restaurant in a few days, and then began to renovate the bookstore, which is expected to be completed in two months at most.

I also passed the fourth subject very smoothly, Kou Jing also passed the third subject make-up exam, I successfully got my driver's license, and after I got the driver's license, I became Mu Qing's driver and coolie.
Mu Qing wanted the bookstore to open as soon as possible, so he was extra dedicated to the decoration, and out of consideration for formaldehyde, Mu Qing decided to buy some second-hand things.
Wu Yafei was right, many bookstores around the country were closing, so their tables, chairs and benches became what Mu Qing needed, Mu Qing went to the second-hand markets around the country to hang out, and then called me as a driver coolie to help.
For this matter, I am dispensable, because of the long-term practice, I feel tired psychologically, and I need to relax with other things, but Wu Yafei is very envious, because he wants to do this thing very much, but Mu Qing doesn't look for him.
"Mr. Li should not lack this labor cost, so I think it is an insult to Mr. Li to give the money to Mr. Li, so I decided to invite you to dinner as a reward, what does Mr. Li think?"
"Call me Xuanji, it seems that Mr. is extra angry"
"Then you can call me Qingqing too"
"Let's call you Sister Mu, because I have a sister-in-law who is also called Qingqing, I'm afraid of getting confused"
"Okay, Brother Xuanji"
"Sister Mu"
As soon as the title was changed, the relationship between them became much closer.
Mu Qing is a person who likes to enjoy life, and less than a month after coming to Yangcheng, he knows the location of all kinds of food in Yangcheng, which is better than me.
So every day after three o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Qing would take me to wander around the second-hand markets, and then go to various places to forage for food at night, and after eating, he would have a cup of coffee, and then go back after a walk.
It didn't take long for Mu Qing to buy a house in Yangcheng, just in our community, because Mu Qing felt that the location, greening and property of this community were very good, and there were no such trivial things, so he bought a small three-bedroom apartment of 89 square meters, and the decoration taste was quite good, Wu Yafei was still grinding the price with the owner, Mu Qing bought it, and the difference of tens of thousands of yuan seemed to be not enough for her.
"This bookstore, I decided to call it Qingqing Bookstore, what do you think?"
"It's very good, Qingqing, it's very green when you hear it, like a piece of grass, it's easy to think of clear water and blue sky, and the wind blows the grass and sees the feeling of cattle and sheep."
"Xuanji, what is your description, how do you feel weird?"
"Nonsense"
I laughed and said, I haven't read anything, so I don't know what to describe metaphors.
"Xuanji, after my bookstore opens, how about you help me, I won't manage it, I just want to have a quiet place to read"
"I'm afraid I don't have time, Sister Mu should know, I'm a cultivator, I have a lot of time every day, and I just want to take a break recently"
"Then you can bear to let me run such a big bookstore by myself, adding up to 300 square meters."
"I'll come and walk more at night in the future, I really don't have time during the day"
Even though Mu Qing had a pleading look, I still refused, cultivation is the most important thing in my life now, and everything must be given to cultivation.
In the later stage of the renovation, there were fewer places on Mu Qing's side that could use me, and I returned to the state of cultivation, but it didn't take long for Kou Jing to say to me, "Great Heavenly Master, your trouble is coming"
"The perilla is here, or the old poison is here"
"No, your Sister Mu's trouble is coming, which means that your trouble is coming"
""
"Why am I talking nonsense, have you forgotten the reason why Mu Qing came to Yang City?"
As soon as Kou Jing's voice fell, Mu Qing's phone came, and the first sentence was, "Xuanji, come quickly, I'm being followed"
"Where are you, I'll come"
"I'm at Qingqing Bookstore"
"Okay, don't leave, wait for me, I'll be there in ten minutes"
I picked up the keys and drove over quickly, and in less than ten minutes, I was at Qingqing Bookstore.
The workers in the bookstore are still busy, and now that the floor has been laid and the water and electricity fire protection is being installed, Mu Qing is hiding in the corner.
"Sister Mu, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Mystery"
"What about the people who are stalking you?"
"Xuanji, look at the person sitting on the street on the other side of the bubble tea shop"
"I see it, do you know it?"
I nodded, there was indeed a strong man sitting there, looking at us from time to time, obviously monitoring us, but Mu Qing's position, he couldn't see it.
"I know him, his name is Ah Hao"
"Sister Mu, how about I go and get rid of him?"
"It's useless, Ah Hao is just a little brother, and his eldest brother is the trouble"
"Can you tell me?"
"Does Xuanji remember Jin Xiaomei?"
"Of course, you were introduced by Jin Xiaomei"
"Jin Xiaomei should have told you that I met a scumbag and was deceived by him."
"A little bit said, but not comprehensively"
I nodded, Jin Xiaomei probably didn't know much, and I didn't ask Mu Qing about this during this time, giving Mu Qing full respect.
"His name is Li Cheng, his father's name is Li Wu, his father used to be the biggest underworld brother in my city, he has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, and the relationship behind him is complicated and his strength is monstrous.
Three years ago, my husband died unexpectedly, leaving me a rich inheritance, my husband is the only son in the family, my father-in-law and mother-in-law also passed away before, according to the law, the inheritance is mine alone, but the story is very bloody, as soon as my husband died, those relatives all came out, some people wanted to give me a stepson, some even wanted me to marry him, and more people blatantly wanted to swallow my husband's inheritance.
Later, Li Cheng appeared, it was he who helped me out of the siege, suppressed those greedy relatives, he shouted at me, and was very kind to me, and a year later, Li Cheng proposed to me.
But I didn't agree, although Li Cheng was very good to me, I was very moved, but my husband has only been gone for a year, and if I marry someone else, I will be so sorry for my husband.
I rejected Li Cheng's marriage, but Li Cheng didn't give up, and he was still very good to me, but he began to find some reasons to cheat me out of my money, and for more than a year, I was deceived by Li Cheng of more than 10 million.
Once he was drunk, and he personally told his father on the phone that he was going to cheat me out of my money, and then what would happen to me, and I began to watch out for him after I knew it, and I spent a month selling all my fixed property and running out secretly, and I have been avoiding him for more than half a year, but Li Cheng is still ghosted."
Mu Qing told her story, tears flowed silently, Mu Qing's appearance made people feel distressed.
