Looking at Yue'er, who was smiling like a flower, Li Ling suddenly smiled bitterly and reached out and gently pinched her small nose: "Yue'er, you have something bad this time." ”

Li Yue'er hated her brother pinching her nose the most, and she was about to resist immediately, but after hearing this, she paused again and looked at her brother blankly. Li Ling explained: "Don't you see that I am making a false deal with him? Just to get something out of this guy's mouth, so that he can help Boss Gu deal with them. But as soon as you came in, you disrupted the plan. ”

"Ah...... I didn't expect it......" Yue'er lowered her head with some self-reproach after she understood, and the joy just now disappeared in a flash. Seeing this, Li Ling rubbed her hair again: "Okay, don't blame yourself too much, I also heard something from his words, which is somewhat useful." I'll go see Boss Gu now, you just wait at home. ”

"Well, brother, we're not going to lose, are we?" Yue'er looked up at Li Ling expectantly and said. The latter nodded solemnly: "Of course, there is a brother." ”

……

When Li Ling entered the Gujia Bookstore, he found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the store. Whether it was the shopkeeper or a few guys, they all looked preoccupied, and it wasn't until he walked up to him that the shopkeeper reacted, and reluctantly greeted with a professional smile: "Gongzi Li is here, but are you here to deliver the manuscript?" ”

"No, I have something to find Boss Gu today, can he be behind?"

"In ...... Yes, but ......" didn't wait for the shopkeeper to say anything, Li Ling had already walked towards the courtyard behind. During this time, his friendship with Gu Yuezi has deepened, and he has become more casual when he sees him. The shopkeeper wanted to stop him, but Li Ling had already pushed the door into the backyard and went straight along the path to the account room that had been entered many times. As a result, before he got closer, he heard a threatening voice from inside: "Boss Gu, I advise you to recognize the reality and resell the bookstore to my Wanjia." The price we give is already very high, as long as you nod your head, two thousand taels of silver will be delivered tomorrow, and there will be no arrears. ”

Immediately, Gu Yuezi's voice also sounded: "I said, this is a deal created by the ancestors and grandchildren of my Gu family for generations, and I will never sell it to you!" Don't bother with that! Don't say two thousand taels, it's twenty thousand taels, two hundred thousand taels are placed in front of me, if I hesitate, I won't be a man! ”

The conversation in it froze, and the shopkeeper also came to Li Ling's side, smiled bitterly at him, and said in a low voice: "Li Gongzi came unfortunately, the owner is now entertaining guests." ”

It should be a villain, I didn't expect that Wan Jia would still come here to buy the entire Gu Family Bookstore, no wonder Wan Rong would say such threatening words to himself in the end, but looking at Gu Yuezi's attitude, he shouldn't give in.

After being silent for a while, the man said again: "Boss Gu, don't say too much about some things, there are inevitable things in the business field." If you're not satisfied with the price, we can talk about it. If you feel that this is a business handed down by your ancestors and can't bear to leave, our family will not be strong, and still let you preside over the daily affairs of the store, but you must obey the orders of the general number, how about it? Boss Gu, we have given sincerity this time, don't you don't eat this toast. ”

"Toast? Looks like there's a penalty for drinking? I'd like to see what you can do! ”

Seeing that he still refused to compromise, the man was also a little annoyed, and threatened: "If you really refuse to cooperate with us, then you will be the enemy of my family, and at that time, we will not have any reservations." I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, our Wanjia Bookstore will next shop all kinds of books from our Wanzizhai to Jiangcheng County at a low price, and the price will be eighty percent of your original price, or even seventy percent. In addition, we have also contacted the authors in Jiangcheng County who are dedicated to you one by one, and we will let them write and contribute to us at a better price.

"So I advise you to sell all the shops to us now, so that there can be a good result, don't end up betraying your relatives, that is really undignified!"

The latter words are really Chi Guoguo's threat, even outside the house, Li Ling can hear Gu Yuezi's angry heavy breathing, obviously extremely angry. Speaking of which, he has been friends with Boss Gu for several months, and he really hasn't seen him move his liver fire, even if he encountered it in the county government last time, he just laughed bitterly and laughed at himself. Obviously, this time, the Wanjialai people completely angered him.

Not only Gu Yuezi inside, but also the old shopkeeper outside, was also red with anger at this time, full of anger, and even looked at Li Ling with suspicion, thinking that he had come to have a showdown with the owner.

Li Ling was only stunned for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and raised his hand, pushed open the door that had not been locked, and said as he strode in: "You are wrong, who said that I will be the wall grass when I write books, I, Li Ling, are here to tell you, I will not write even a word for your family!" ”

"Li Gongzi ......" Gu Yuezi was originally angry to the extreme, and he was also extremely cold, and he couldn't vent it, but when he saw Li Ling suddenly break in, it was like a drowning person seeing a big log floating over, and immediately hugged him: "With your words, I have no regrets!" ”

"You are?" The other person in the room changed his face and stared at Li Ling and asked. Li Ling also looked at this person, and saw that he was three or four points similar to Wan Rong, but he was older and looked more stable. Before he could reveal his identity, Gu Yuezi had already taken the first step and said: "This Li Gongzi is our Jiangcheng County's premier novelist, the author of the book "Romance of the Gods", Xiaoyaozi!" As he spoke, he pointed at the man again: "Wan Wan Ai!" ”

As soon as Li Ling heard this name, a strange smile appeared on his face, buddy, why don't you call it Wan Ai-Ke? The other party seemed to see contempt in his eyes, and immediately snorted: "Xiaoyaozi, is it?" Didn't you just write a few volumes of Fengshen, and you really thought you were amazing? He immediately understood that his uncompetitive brother should not have been able to move the author of the most popular novel in Jiangcheng County.

"I can't help it, it's not up to your family to have the final say, just like you don't have the right to take what I am waiting for to stay and blackmail Boss Gu." Li Ling immediately turned back-for-tat.

Gu Yuezi really didn't expect Li Ling's words to be so sharp, the anger on his face finally turned into joy, and he also nodded: "Yes, I don't have anything else, I have that little bit of ambition, so I advise you not to bother with that!" After a pause, he directly issued an eviction order: "It's good to go, don't send it." ”

Wan Ai looked at the two of them left and right again, his face changed several times, and finally he snorted coldly, got up and walked out. It was only when the person arrived at the door that he suddenly turned around, looked at the two of them and said, "Don't be too happy, since the business is not successful, don't blame me for making a move." Then you will know that what I am saying is not true. And ......" He stared at Li Ling deeply, "I don't put a mere god in my eyes, do you think only you can write?" After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and left.

It wasn't until he left this courtyard that Gu Yuezi let out a long sigh of relief, obviously he was still very nervous and ate a lot just now. Then, he clasped his fists at Li Ling and saluted: "It's really a loss to Brother Li this time, you have helped, otherwise you will ......."

"Boss Gu doesn't need to say that, you and I are friends, and you have helped me a lot, but now I'm just doing my best."

Gu Yuezi laughed, waved his hand again, and said, "Since you said that we are friends, don't call us so angry, what is the ancient boss Li Gongzi." In the future, I will call you brother, and you can call me brother. ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, after all, you are a lot older than me, and you are a senior. Li Ling looked at the other party's vicissitudes of life, and he was embarrassed.

As soon as these words came out, not only Gu Yuezi, but also the old shopkeeper's face became strange, and after a while, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. And Gu Yuezi frowned even more: "How old do you think I am?" ”

"Uh...... It's almost forty. Looking at his full beard and the folds on his face, Li Ling reported a number, which was still a slightly conservative conclusion.

"You...... Brother, I'm only twenty-five this year, do I look so old? Gu Yuezi was about to collapse and asked loudly.

Now it was Li Ling's turn to be stunned, just like him, he was only twenty-five? How anxious is this? Looking at it, it's like a forty-year-old, going out with himself, saying that no one will suspect it as an uncle or nephew or even a father and son.

"Haven't I just grown a little mature, plus a beard? It's not to look old, so that the bookstore can be run well. At this time, Gu Yuezi looked extremely aggrieved, but in exchange for a burst of laughter from Li Ling and the old shopkeeper, they really didn't expect that the old and steady boss Gu would behave like this.

After laughing for a while, Li Ling said, "Okay, Brother Gu, it's okay to call you Brother Lao." ”

After laughing like this for a while, the original tense emotions of the three of them relaxed, and now that the relationship is closer, Li Ling no longer has too many worries, and immediately gets to the point: "Brother Gu, now it seems that the plot of these ten thousand bookstores is really not small, they are going to swallow the entire book market in my Jiangcheng County." ”

"Yes, this is the style that Wanjia has always had in the mall, domineering and likes to eat alone. In fact, in the early two years, Wanjia Bookstore had swallowed the book markets in several other counties in Hengzhou Prefecture, and now they have hit the head of Jiangcheng County. ”

Li Ling nodded: "This Wanjia bookstore is really so powerful, it can actually monopolize all the book markets in one place?" ”

Gu Yuezi's expression became solemn: "It's not Wanjia Bookstore, it's Wanjia." Why, don't you know the name of the Wanjia family in Hengzhou? ”

Li Ling shook his head blankly, the original owner before the crossing was ignorant and ignorant, and after the crossing, he was busy making a living, and he really didn't have much time to learn more things: "I want to hear about it." ”
