"First of all, I will introduce myself, my name is Gu Li, and I am the owner of the library. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 With that, he took out a black business card and handed it to Ning Siyi.

Ning Si took it with both hands, the black business card paper was very thick, the silver pattern printed on the four sides was very similar to the pattern on the side shell of the pocket watch, and there were several silver fonts printed in the middle of the business card: Hometown Library, and a line of small words printed on the reverse side: Welcome back to your hometown. Below is the address of the store, but there is nothing else, and the layout is very simple.

It turned out that she was the one who opened the library, but I don't know why, when she heard that the other party was running a library, she was not as worried as before.

Bookstores are a little different from bookstores, close to libraries in nature, and now in this year, information is exploding, knowledge and information can be easily obtained on the Internet, compared with boring words, the intuitive experience of combining vision and hearing is more convenient and interesting, and how many people can calm down and read? Just looking at the nearby municipal library being deserted than a funeral parlor is enough to say a lot. Even if it is a bookstore, it is not a serious book that is sold now, but a complete solution to the Olympiad, a collection of college entrance examination questions and other reference materials that specifically pit students' faces. If you hadn't had a great passion for books, you wouldn't have opened a library.

Well, people who like books should not be bad people. This was Ning Siyi's first impression after learning the identity of the other party.

Seeing that her expression softened, he asked again, "What's your name?" ”

"Ning Siyi."

"Rather think, learn to govern, think to refine. Siyi is a good name. Gu Li exclaimed, "The person who gave you the name must have high hopes for you." ”

Ning Siyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and her cold face flashed with a trace of emotion, Siyi's name was taken by her grandfather himself, her grandfather was a very learned person, and Siyi's name was taken from the "Fa Yan Xuexing" in "Learn to govern, think to refine, friends to grind, reputation to worship, tireless to the end, it can be said that it is easy to learn." "My grandfather hoped that she would become a studious, thoughtful person with her own ideas. It's a pity that she finally lived up to her grandfather's expectations, and instead became a person who went with the flow and was willing to be ordinary. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

"Thank you!" Ning Si thanked her dryly, no one had ever praised her grandfather for giving her a name, he not only praised but also knew the origin of the name, which shows his knowledge.

Gu Li didn't care about Ning Siyi's silence, he seemed to be happy all the time, the smile at the corner of his lips was always so gentle and pleasant, seeing that Ning Siyi didn't say thank you after saying thank you, he continued to say very considerately: "I scared you just now." ”

Ning Siyi glanced at him when she heard this, and nodded unabashedly, this is a fact, she wanted to run away for a moment.

Gu Li couldn't bear to be smiling at her such a straightforward reply, and tried to suppress the laughter that almost overflowed his lips, and apologized seriously: "Cough, I'm really sorry Miss Ning, in fact, there is nothing mysterious about this matter." ”

He pulled out his pocket watch and flipped it to the back, rubbing the Latin letters engraved on the back and said to her, "Actually, the pocket watch has a new miniature tracker inside, so I can confirm its location wherever it is." ”

"Trackers?" Actually have a tracker in a pocket watch? This is not something that can only be done by being idle and panicking! Ning Siyi's face turned a little dark while breathing a sigh of relief, so what she was afraid about just now was all in vain, wasting her expression?

"yes." Gu Li smiled as a matter of course: "Do you know what the market value of this Huai is in?" ”

Ning Siyi shook his head honestly.

"About 20 million."

"2・・・・・・20 million?!"

Ning Siyi was illusory, if she was drinking water just now, it is estimated that Gu Li, who was sitting opposite, would have been sprayed in the face. She guessed that the pocket watch should be worth a lot, but she never imagined that it would be so valuable!

So, she carried a huge sum of 20 million money with her from yesterday to just now?

So, this goods worth 20 million were pitifully hung on the side of the road for a few hours yesterday, and no one cared about it?

Ning Siyi never thought that she could be so close to 20 million, and what was even more terrifying was that the valuable things should not be put in the vault at home and be properly supplied, right?

She is still in a daze after being shown off by the local tyrant, and sure enough, the local tyrant is willful!!!!

Gu Li's face did not change and nodded with a smile: "But to me, its significance is far greater than its own value. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's as important as my life, so I'm really grateful to you, Miss Ning! You've saved my life. ”

Ning Siyi said modestly with a stiff smile in his mouth: "Where, you are polite." ”

If she also had a watch worth 20 million, hehe, it was more important than her life, and she could properly offer it like her ancestors! Don't blame her for being a philistine, her family has been poor since she was a child, and she can't wait to break one dollar into two dollars, and the hard-working baby who is still unemployed at the moment really can't afford to hurt.

She still has a calm face on her face, and her heart is in a crazy blood-vomiting mode: Ning Si thinks you are stupid/force! actually returned 20 million to others for nothing!!

Gu Li seemed to be still saying some words of thanks, but Ning Si couldn't listen to half of the sentence, and was still immersed in the pain of easily handing over the huge amount of money, until she suddenly remembered that the pocket watch couldn't be moved since yesterday, and her mood immediately changed from regret to apprehension.

Gu Li didn't seem to notice that the pocket watch couldn't be moved, and he was still praising her noble character of picking up gold.

Ning Siyi couldn't listen at all, and the hand hidden under the table turned white: "That... When I picked up my pocket watch yesterday, it didn't seem to move. ”

It fell out of your pocket, so it's none of my business! She actually wanted to say this directly, but she was afraid that the other party would be suspicious, after all, the pocket watch could still move at first, and it didn't break until she held it in her hand, so she felt a little weak.

Don't put the responsibility on her head, she can't afford to lose 20 million watches!

Gu Li was stunned for a moment, turned the watch upside down, and the hands of the dial really stopped at 4:22, and a few delicate pinions would not move. He looked up again at the little girl, who was visibly nervous to the point that her face turned a little blue.

"The pocket watch is fine." Gu Li said, "It's normal if it doesn't move, and if it does, I'll be in big trouble." ”

When he said this, Gu Li's expression was a little strange, and his warm and jade-like face had a hint of mystery, and there was an indescribable sense of mystery.

Ning Siyi was panicked by him, and he didn't have time to think about why it was normal for the pocket watch not to move.

In short, the owner of the pocket watch said, the pocket watch, no! Ask! Title!

Finally fell into her heart, Ning Siyi's face finally recovered a trace of complexion, Gu Li secretly observed her expression, and changed back and forth several times in just a few minutes, so that she didn't know it, and thought she had fooled him.

He wanted to laugh a little, but it was more of a feeling, he didn't expect that there would be such a pure, simple and direct person with such a pure mind.

The waiter brought the juice and cake over, because it was close to lunch time, and sent the lunch menu over again, Gu Li, as a gentleman just now, took the lead in handing her the menu: "Please don't be polite, just order." ”

This time, Ning Siyi took it without pressure, and ordered several dishes before and after, including a deluxe version of Parfait, at this time, she threw away the such as restraint, alienation, and facial paralysis early.

If she doesn't eat enough, how can she calm her grief and anger at missing out on 20 million!

Gu Li didn't say a word from beginning to end, looking at her eyes that had become shiny with a smile, until Ning Si returned the menu to the waiter with a little bit of money, and then withdrew his gaze: "Don't order more, is this enough?" ”

Ning Siyi nodded with a calm expression and said, "That's enough." ”

After thinking about it, he added: "It's a waste if you can't finish eating." “

The corners of Gu Li's lips raised a pleasant smile: "Miss Ning is really a real person. Turning his head to look at the transparent document bag that she was resting on the table, he pondered for a moment, and then he suddenly asked, "By the way, I haven't asked Miss Ning where she is?" ”

"I'm looking for a job right now." Ning Siyi saw that the other party had seen the resume bag on the desktop, and he didn't hide it, and replied honestly: "I used to be an assistant in an advertising company." But then she was fired by her boss, and she was embarrassed to say it.

"Oh, has Miss Ning found the job she wants?"

"Not yet."

Now that the market is poor, the economy is in recession, large companies are laying off employees and reducing pressure, and small companies are closing down at a loss, how can the job of your choice be so easy to find?

"Then I wonder if Miss Ning is interested in coming to work with me? My library just lacks a librarian. Gu Liyan looked at her with a smile and said.

To be honest, she has no interest, not that she is dissatisfied with the profession of librarian, she is purely unwilling, she worked so hard to finish college, and did not stay in the center of the new city to develop, but ran to the old city of G City, no matter how she thought about it.

That's right, the ancient library is located in the old city of G city, the new and old city are separated by a rolling Hongjiang River, and the two areas are connected by a Hongjiang bridge, don't look at the distance is not far, but the two cities are very different, if the new city is a vigorous and energetic city, the old city is an urban village under the sunset. Due to the backwardness of the old city, most people have moved to the new city to settle down, and the infrastructure is also very backward, the construction of bus stations is very imperfect, and it takes two transfers from the old city to the new city.

said a thousand words and ten thousand, in fact, the most important issue is money, although she admires the courage and enthusiasm of Gu to leave the library, but life is realistic, and enthusiasm can't fill the stomach. How much does a librarian get paid? Five insurances and one housing fund? Do you have a weekend or a weekend? Is there a monthly bonus? Is there a year-end bonus? Faced with this series of practical problems, Ning Siyi almost didn't have to think about it and wanted to refuse.

Of course, the other party had good intentions, and she didn't want to refute the other party's kindness too directly: "Thank you, Mr. Gu." But I'm used to being in the new town, and my family is here, and the old city is quite far from here, so it may not be very convenient. ”
