Chapter 228: The Weight of Trust.

Yang Fan had never believed in Arnold, and from the time he first saw Arnold, he had no good impression of this "eunuch king" who was known as the Duke of Hai.

It was because of the feeling at first glance that Arno had always had a bad reputation as the "Eunuch King", so Yang Fan analyzed Arnold's identity and found an opportunity to deliberately find him for a showdown.

Although, Arno didn't have any problems with his own showdown. However, he still exposed a lot of loopholes in his personality and personality.

After all, how could a writer who wants to use xx.com as a springboard and is full of ambition abandon his desire to go to a big website with "unlimited money" to create a new era with himself because of his unrealistic fantasies? Yang Fan doesn't believe that he has such a great personality charm and makes a writer like a careerist willing to succumb to himself.

What's more, he deliberately showed the words that were full of threats and middle two that made him unable to get along in the writer's circle, presumably this eunuch king had already become commonplace, since he was already commonplace, why did he show a panic in the end.

Of course, the main reason for the distrust was that when he was sad about the book review that "wanted to end his life", Arno found himself and told him a lot of big things in the name of caring about himself and winning the competition. At that time, he completely exposed his purpose, he wanted to force himself to go the opposite path to the character he had been running, so as to lose the readers who had been gathered because of his excellent personality.

After all, if they really regard themselves as friends and comrades-in-arms of a team, then they will only respect any choice they make, and will not point fingers at them to go the opposite way.

Although the above is only the result of Yang Fan's wishful analysis, for Yang Fan, who has always been cautious, this is enough for him not to believe this kind of person.

Trust is the easiest thing in the world and the hardest thing to maintain.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much. After Feng Xue left, Yang Fan spent another hour making his own writing plan, and when he was thinking about the writing plan, he looked at the book written by Arnold on the computer screen, sighed and said.

In fact, Yang Fan still has a trace of fantasy in his heart, fantasizing that he thinks too much, and Yano is not that kind of person. Because he remembered the sad eyes of the moon god and their people at the end of Arno's book, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

However, he is a team leader.

Team leaders must stifle everything that harms the team, even if it has a 1% chance of being realized.

Yang Fan, who sighed, began to put away his excess of mercy and kindness, and began today's update.

Today's first chapter is called The Weight of Trust.

It is said that a week after the noodle shop owner won the competition, the people who have been doing business all their lives in their old street unexpectedly received a notice that a large shopping mall and a bustling commercial street were to be built here due to urban planning and the invasion of the big chaebol.

Although the merchants in the old streets spontaneously organized to go to the street office and protest to the government after receiving the notice, they were branded as selfish.

This made them, honest people who have been doing business all their lives, feel angry and hateful, but they don't have the courage to resist, they can only accept it silently.

Entering one store after another with celebrities and Internet celebrity logos not only affects their business, but also affects their lives.

When the well-known shops that were over-hyped by the media saw the business opportunities on this street. They began to throw money at the investors behind them. And those landlords who were originally down-to-earth and honest, under the red eyes and persecution of the children's families, embarrassedly found those users on the old street, explained the situation, and wanted to raise the rent.

This made those simple and honest businessmen can only grit their teeth and agree.

And just like that, another month passed. Many merchants, including noodle shops, could no longer hold on, so they had to turn to their own chamber of commerce managers, the most respected and trusted bookstore owners, for help.

The bookstore owner looked at these decades-old friends, and he hesitated for a long time before agreeing to their request.

He went to the landlords and begged them to reduce their rent, but the landlords who had been brainwashed by money and family had already changed.

Not only did they not reduce it, but they also decided to levy more fees after this year.

After all, the high street is coming.

And the bookstore owner is burdened with the trust of the businessman's friend, as well as those expectant eyes. This made him decide to take out his life savings, that is, 500,000, and find those landlords again. Help all the shops on the old street pay half a year's rent.

Then, he found those chamber of commerce members and told them that he had negotiated that the price would not increase for half a year.

The bookstore owner laughed at the joyful calls of those merchant friends.

Soon, however, the crisis of bookstore owners also came.

The reason is that the arrival of a certain café, under the vigorous propaganda and the malicious marketing methods of registered members can rent books, constantly belittling traditional bookstores and promoting bookstores in the new era, snatched away his bookstore customers!

What an irony of the times!

Under the onslaught of coffee shops, bookstore owners are faced with two choices, the first of which is to leave it as it is. However, this choice only made the traditional bookstore commit suicide slowly.

The second option is to also learn from the coffee shop, and transform the bookstore into a restaurant that combines catering, presumably as the bookstore owner and the manager of the Chamber of Commerce, it should not be too difficult to get a catering license.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, the bookstore owner still made the first choice, which was to stick to his original appearance and not sell food and beverages.

The reason for choosing the first "chronic suicide" is not only because he is the manager of the Lao Cai Chamber of Commerce, and he wants to lead by example to fight the culture shock of foreign shops. It's more because bookstore owners have their own obsessions.

This kind of attachment should be explained as his desire to cultivate a good reading habit for those young people, or perhaps children.

This habit of reading can also be called: a person only does one thing to concentrate!

Although this kind of attachment may seem silly to outsiders, in the minds of bookstore owners, it is an act of responsibility to customers. As a person who really likes paper books, it is the responsibility to let customers understand the preciousness of paper books and develop good reading habits!

Of course, the bookstore owner's approach was very incomprehensible to his family. I feel that he made this decision to stick to his original intention, which is a stubborn and inflexible behavior that kills himself!

However, if it weren't for the reason why he was so stubborn and didn't know how to be flexible, and insisted on his original intention. So how could he be the most trusted and respected businessman on this old street?
