The sun had risen to its highest, and the shadows that had fallen on the ground had gathered into a single point.

Chen Ji squeezed through the crowd and walked over to the middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes. Shen Qiu and Gui Chun were holding a bunch of things and fell behind, unable to catch up with Chen Ji's speed. From time to time, "incense" dealers rushed to him, and even slowed down the two brothers, but there were also a few loud words.

Chen Ji turned his head, stopped and waited.

The two brothers finally squeezed here, and Chen Ji looked for someone in the crowd again, and there was already no trace of him.

Shen Qiu was stupid, probably because he felt that he had delayed the young master's affairs.

Chen Ji searched again, but left with the two brothers after no result. It's been a long time since I've been to the bookstore, and it's a good time today, so there's no reason to just take a look.

When they talked on the way, Shen Qiu and the two responded.

Sifang Street, today's Zhizhi Bookstore has some fame, which is better than some old shops, and has the momentum to leap from now on and become the leading boss.

The bookstore has now set up a structure, has a lot of businesses under it, and after the first period of grinding, the newspaper has really taken off, and it is now published in two editions for different classes of audiences.

Although the rest of the businesses such as publishing and printing have developed, they have also fallen into the first bottleneck period because there are not too many "contributions" for the time being. The people around Chen Ji are not lacking in "literature".

If you really want to count on these half-guys, I'm afraid they can only have some lace incidents. In addition, the "Qi Party Declaration" that Chen Ji has been thinking about has also disappeared because of Chen Xiujie's accident.

……

Chen Ji checked the accounts earlier, and now the most loss-making thing at the bottom of the bookstore is the paper field, Shen Qiu and the two of them directly met and suggested abandoning, Chen Ji thought that the "printing" in the future must be the most important, but he felt that he should rescue it again.

On the other hand, it is now autumn, the weather has changed, the charcoal factory has been restarted, and the first batch of "quality smokeless charcoal" has been launched to the market, and there is not much feedback for the time being.

Qingxiushan Farm has always been under construction, during which there was some delay because of Chen Ji's accident, and the construction was resumed under his personal auspices after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Occasionally, Chen Ji also felt a headache, he wanted silver but no silver, and he couldn't win people if he wanted people. Fortunately, in addition to the hardware construction in the early stage of the farm, Chen Ji has not decided what to do for a while.

……

Outside the city of Qingzhou, 100,000 mountains.

Zhu Chenghu shrank behind a boulder, chewing a leaf pulled from nowhere in his mouth, and as the skin of his mouth moved, a burst of sourness poured directly into his chest and abdomen, and suddenly it was a "coolness" that rushed back up.

Zhu Chenghu's face was distorted.

Beside him, the man with the knife laughed when he saw this, and quipped: "This can't stand it?"

Zhu Chenghu glanced over and took a deep breath: "I'm on a thief ship, otherwise how could I come to suffer like this?" He sat up a little straighter, hugged his knee with his right hand, and said solemnly, "Take advantage of this gap to talk about it?" What the hell does your dude think? Even deceived that guy? ”

The man pursed his lips and said, "I really want to know?"

"Of course."

"Bring the kid's head over there, and I'll tell you."

Zhu Chenghu sighed, didn't look over, continued to chew the leaves that were said to be "life-saving medicine", and spat on the green saliva.

The man with the knife stood up and said with a smile: "After this scene, you can go back first." To tell you the truth, when that kid threw you over, Lao Tzu was quite disgusted. I didn't expect you to survive until now. ”

Zhu Chenghu sighed: "What I said, the master has no temper."

Jokes like this have been staged very frequently recently, and as far as Zhu Chenghu is concerned, the real strength of this guy in front of him is there, and he has seen it. The initial mistrust was also worn away during this period of "cooperation". Speaking of which, there are some things that I can now think about when I go back and say that "things are not people".

At first, because of part of the "gathering" of disaster relief, under the leadership of Chen Ji, they went up the mountain and fell to the grass, and they had a difficult time at first, if it weren't for that Feng Qianhu who was willing to take out a small part of the relationship, maybe they would have been swallowed up by their "peers". Later, Feng Qianhu left with his people, and only Zhu Chenghu was left in the whole cottage, and the hundreds of people who pulled it up were in a kind of "panic", until the man in front of him suddenly appeared, holding a handwritten recommendation that was said to be "Chen Ji".

Of course, Zhu Chenghu can't trust him just because of this, and after some verification, he is also solid, but he suddenly wants to hand over the "power", and I am not happy with him. As a result, "trust" has been discounted.

In the next few shots against "peers", Zhu Chenghu gradually accumulated the friendship between the two sides, and now he, the second ancestor of the bad street in Qingzhou City, also has a bit of a "sword mountain and sea of fire".

It's just that after that, the connection with Chen Ji was completely broken, and it was really they who chased people all over the mountain and suffered several big losses.

Right now, it's just a moment of respite, and in these deep mountains, I don't know how many swords and swords there are.

In the face of such a "crisis", if he was the former Zhu Chenghu, I am afraid that he would have surrendered a long time ago, and then wrote a letter home. Now he is eager to try, and he doesn't seem to care about the "pursuit" behind him.

These, a large part of the confidence, is precisely because of the man around him.

"Let's go." The man got up and tightened the saber in his hand.

Zhu Chenghu stood up, spit out the leaf foam in his mouth, and nodded.

Time can always give people some unexpected surprises.

It seems that in another instant, he Zhu Chenghu is already a newly rising newcomer in Qingzhou, and he also has the nickname of "Thunderbolt Tiger" outside.

It's something he's never thought about, and he doesn't hate it now.

……

People come and go, like water flowing through the years.

Nothing else.

……

……

Chen Ji returned home after a day's inspection, and Lao Chen had already taken the official appointment documents of the imperial court, which meant that it would not be long before he went to Dengzhou.

Dengzhou is the place where the Chen family is rooted, and many things that happened before are not excluded by the Chen family.

Chen Ji was an exception, so he was called to the study by Lao Chen to talk to him.

Chen Xiujie's face was solemn, she stared at her son seriously for a while, and said solemnly: "I have seriously thought about you staying. Pack up and come with me. ”

"As for the business here, I asked Shenqiu, most of the principal has been recovered, and the remaining shortfall, after returning to Dengzhou, will offset the salt farm."

Chen Ji was dumbfounded in his heart.

Chen Xiujie continued: "This is the result of my careful consideration, after all, you are the only seedling of the Chen family."

Chen Ji sat down dejectedly, and only after a while did he answer: "I still hope to stay."
