The next day.

Zhang Xun got up early, and then rushed to the White Elephant Bookstore with a few basic things.

The things in the share house are almost organized, but there is no hurry to move, and the work needs to start immediately.

In a sense, today is the first page of a new chapter in a new life.

Zhang Xun decided to treat it with a full state of mind.

"Be scrappy. ”

It was the first thing he said to himself when he got up.

Bai Xiang has her own company to be busy, there are really a lot of things, since the store is kept, she simply became the shopkeeper again, and after throwing a bunch of keys to the bookstore to Zhang Xun last night, the boss only gave one instruction: open as usual.

As for the specifics, he only needs to figure it out on his own.

The approximate meaning is that anyway, the people in the store are all fired, and they can't recruit people for a while, so it's all up to Zhang Xun to make it up alone, and Bai Xiang delegates power to him to the greatest extent, which makes Zhang Xun flattered, and the effect of the heart and soul gem is really powerful, but what he doesn't know is that Bai Xiang himself has always been determined to use people without suspicion.

may be because of this, he will be Yin by Zhao Jiyin.

But that's all in the past.

However, when Zhang Xun came to the door of the White Elephant Bookstore with his trolley suitcase, he found a figure dangling outside the door in the morning light.

Zhang Xun was stunned for a moment, and slowly walked over with some puzzlement.

The man was still looking through the window, not noticing him.

Zhang Xun came straight behind this person, then deliberately coughed and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The man turned around when he heard this, and Zhang Xun saw his face clearly.

This is a man about thirty or forty years old, with a bulging lower abdomen, a small and fat figure, a slightly round face, a shallow beard, wearing a casual dress, his hair is meticulously combed, the whole person is full of a literary atmosphere, carrying a bag in his hand, and a pair of small eyes on his middle-aged round face looked at the young man behind him who suddenly called himself with some surprise.

"I'm not looking for anyone. ”

After he was slightly surprised, he replied calmly, his voice deep and full of energy.

Zhang Xun was puzzled: "Then what are you ......?"

The middle-aged man pointed to the signboard on the door of the store with a solemn face and asked, "Do you see the number on it?"

"What?"

"Numbers. ”

Zhang Xun blinked, and then hesitated: "What are you talking about...... 24？”

The middle-aged man nodded, and then asked, "Then do you see the letter after 24?"

"h" Zhang Xun replied suspiciously.

"Well, that's right. The middle-aged man smiled faintly and said, "This H is not a bad H, but a good H, which means hour, that is, 24 hours, right?"

Zhang Xun raised his forehead and nodded: "Yes, that's right." ”

"Isn't that enough?" said the middle-aged man with a small belly, "Since it's a 24-hour bookstore, what do you think I want to do? But why didn't I go in? Because it didn't open the door. As for why it didn't open? That's what I'm thinking about. ”

Zhang Xun suddenly realized: "You are thinking about the problem. ”

"That's right. He looked calm.

Zhang Xun blinked and said, "Then I don't think you need to continue thinking about it." ”

"Why?"

Facing the other party's puzzled eyes, Zhang Xun calmly put his small box aside, then took out a key, walked up, and opened the lock with a quick click.

Then he gently pushed the door open, turned around and looked at the middle-aged man quietly, and said, "Welcome~"

……

……

When Zhang Xun settled the small box and came out, he saw the middle-aged man skillfully operating the machine to make a cup of tea, and then took out a membership card and swiped it.

Turning around and seeing Zhang Xun, he asked with a novel look, "Are you new here?"

Zhang Xun didn't know how to answer for a while, but heard the other party say again: "The former clerk is gone?"

Zhang Xun was sure that this should be a regular customer, and it is also the kind of regular customer who has a particularly strong sense of participation, and in the cross talk industry, he is the kind of audience who has nothing to do with old actors under the stage and flirt with young actors.

"Well, the old ones are gone. Zhang Xun nodded, and then asked, "I don't know your surname?"

The middle-aged man picked up the teacup, blew it leisurely, and then smiled: "My surname is Gao, Gao Shen." ”

Zhang Xun silently read the name twice and thought it was very interesting.

Gao Shen walked leisurely, not the slightest discomfort in the store, but walked out of a feeling of being at home, Zhang Xun could see this, and was more convinced of his guess that he was a regular customer.

"Why is it closed? It used to be open around the clock, but I saw that the 24 didn't become 12, didn't I?" Gao Shen took two steps, remembered this again, and asked curiously.

Zhang Xun replied without waves: "The night shift is also gone." ”

Gao Shen was stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought for a while, before he suddenly said: "I remembered, I seem to have heard that this store is going to close?

When asked about the last sentence, Comrade Gao Shen was obviously a little nervous.

Zhang Xun shook his head calmly and said: "No, if the matter is settled, it will not be closed, and it will be open as usual." ”

Gao Shen let out a long sigh after hearing this, and said happily: "Okay, if it's really closed, I really don't know where to go at this time." ”

Zhang Xun listened interestingly, and couldn't help asking, "You used to come often?"

"Yes, when you're busy, you come every day when you're free, this environment is good, it's a pity that you guys really close the door. Gao Shen said with a smile.

Zhang Xun was puzzled: "So, you haven't come over for a few days?"

If it weren't for this, Gao Shen wouldn't have suddenly remembered the incident of closing the door at this time.

"Yes, I've been out of town some time ago, and I've been there for three whole months, and I only returned to the city yesterday, and I thought about coming over early this morning to rest, but I didn't expect it to be closed for proofing. Gao Shen sighed, a round face was a little sad, the whole person felt as if he had been tortured for three months before he was released, to describe it more seriously, that expression could be regarded as the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

Zhang Xun looked funny, but he didn't ask more, and after a few simple conversations, Gao Shen took his tea and sat down slowly in a position by the window on the first floor, there was a bush of plants by the window, Zhang Xun watched him sit down, and leisurely opened the small bag he brought, which was also a notebook.

After placing these, Gao Shen plunged into the bookshelf, and Zhang Xun didn't pay attention to it, just lowered his head and was busy with himself.

After a while, he looked up again and saw that Gao Shen had returned to his seat with a few books in his hand, reading peacefully.

The sun slowly shone brightly, and as time passed, more and more people came into the store, and although it was still not much overall, it was still popular.

It's peaceful.

Zhang Xun is not busy with work, out of curiosity, from time to time to see Gao Shen's movements, and found that he turned on the computer after reading for a while, and then knocked on the keyboard from time to time, and then continued reading, and so on.

It's just that the further back he goes, the more time he spends typing on the keyboard, and then he simply sits in front of the screen, his short and thick fingers constantly busy.

It looks like he's busy with something.

Zhang Xun only thought that he was working, and he didn't bother in the past.

In this way, at noon, people came and went in the store, but Gao Shen was as steady as Mount Tai.

When it was time to eat, most of the readers left to eat, and the restaurant was deserted again.

Zhang Xun was fiddling with his mobile phone, thinking about which takeaway to eat today, and at the same time looked at Comrade Gao Shen very curiously, this gentleman seemed to be getting busier and busier, and by now, the whole person was almost about to get into the screen.

"Work can't delay eating, it's really dedicated. ”

Zhang Xun looked at it, and couldn't help but feel a little respect in his heart.

Looking around, there were only two of them left in the store, Zhang Xun thought about it and got up and walked straight over, he decided to persuade him to take a break, he always had to eat, if he was too lazy to leave, if he wanted to eat takeout, Zhang Xun could also reluctantly order the meal of the two of them together.

Well, it's not that he's so considerate.

But......

Zhang Xun looked at the text prompt on the mobile phone delivery software, and his steps became more determined.

"Two people ordered...... There are discounts. ”
