Dead after eight years [rebirth]

Cheng Shuibei walked around the neighborhood, making sure that this store was the only one on the fourth floor, and then he walked into this decaying bookstore with nothing to love.

The dozing boy saw someone coming in and rushed to meet him.

"May I ask what book you need, or I can recommend it for you."

After hearing this, Cheng Shuibei frowned, and the cloud in Yintang became thicker.

According to Cheng Shuibei's rules, this is a taboo.Bookstores are the place where sales are least needed. People who can walk in will not buy an extra set of books because of a few words from the salesperson, but will feel that the extra words are a kind of interruption.

What the bookstore salesperson has to do is to wait quietly, waiting for the customer to ask for help.

He didn't play any more scenes where the boss pretended to be a customer to test the clerk, and went straight up to show his identity to the young man.

"Hi, boss... I'm a part-time student here."

Cheng Shuibei's pupils trembled again after hearing this.

Before coming here, Zhou Xingzhan said that there is a manager and two employees in the store, who are paid monthly.But Cheng Shuibei looked at it this way, the manager was gone, and only one employee came to work part-time.

Cheng Shuibei didn't show it, he pretended not to know about it, and started to talk politely with the young man.

The young man's surname is Wu, and his name is Wu Yuan.Wu Yuan is a nearby college student who works part-time here three days a week. He said that the person who hired him was surnamed Wang, and there were two girls with him, and the three of them took turns to arrange shifts. He had never met other employees.

What Zhou Xingzhan was talking about was Manager Wang.

"Call Manager Wang and ask him to come over. Just say that a big client is looking for you."

Wu Yuan didn't know why, but Cheng Shuibei didn't look like he was joking, so he went to the lounge to get his mobile phone and called Manager Wang.

An hour later, Cheng Shuibei waited for the legendary manager Wang.This man has a big belly, and with a salary of [-] a month, he is greedy for the money of two regular employees to cheat three students, and his posture is even bigger than Zhou Xingzhan.

In 2007, a monthly salary of [-] was not a small sum.

"Yuan'er, where is the customer? How much does he want?" Manager Wang didn't notice Cheng Shuibei immediately.According to what Xiaocheng taught, Wu Yuan said that a big boss wanted to order a batch of books from the bookstore to donate to the mountainous area, and the huge amount required Manager Wang to come in person.

Wu Yuan dared not speak, and cautiously pointed to Cheng Shuibei who was sitting at the counter.

Manager Wang had seen Zhou Xingzhan's posture, and he probably felt that Cheng Shuibei's appearance did not look like a rich boss. He didn't even owe a waist, and looked at people with his nostrils: "How much do you want?"

Cheng Shuibei was already angry, but he still kept a polite smile on his face.

"Not much, eight thousand."

"Only [-]?" Upon hearing such a small amount, Manager Wang wondered how much he would not be able to commission, and even more impatiently tried to leave.

"Yes, eight thousand, your monthly salary." Cheng Shuibei said.

Manager Wang withdrew his foot that was about to go out, and there were not many people who could clearly know his reward.

Cheng Shuibei took out the shareholder business card that Zhou Xingzhan made for him after the company changed its name from his pocket, on which the gold letters of "Tongxing Culture Media Company" gleamed.

He handed the piece of paper with the words "Cheng Shuibei" printed on it to the person surnamed Wang, and the last trace of smile faded from his face. Cheng Shuibei said bluntly, "Wang Xuan, you have been fired."

The man named Wang Xuan hadn't reacted yet, and the disdainful expression was half-stiffened on his face just now, as if he didn't quite understand what happened.

But Cheng Shuibei had no interest in entangled with him at all, he had already brought Wu Yuan into the store, and forgave the former "Manager Wang" at the door of the store.

He could call Zhou Xingzan, Cheng Shuibei believed that Zhou Xingzan would make the same decision as him.

The store is not too small, it is as big as three or four North and South Bookstores put together.Cheng Shuibei walked in the middle of the rows of low bookshelves, inspected the layout of the entire bookstore, and asked Wu Yuan some basic information at the same time.

"How much does he pay you a month?"

Wu Yuan was afraid that Manager Wang would not be able to stay if he was fired, so he replied cautiously: "It is paid by the day, fifty a day."

Zhou Xingzhan paid 500 yuan a month to his employees, and Wang Xuan paid [-] yuan a month to part-time workers, and the rest went into his own pocket.

Wu Yuan and those two female students should have difficulties in working and earning money at an age when they can enjoy themselves.

"Don't worry, after he's gone, you can stay if you want. It's free here, and you can read books when you have nothing to do. Don't keep dozing off."

Although Cheng Shuibei didn't have a good first impression of Wu Yuan, he didn't dislike him, and it was not easy to recruit new people for a while. If he was here in the future, he wouldn't need too many employees, and part-time workers would be enough.

Wu Yuan seemed to be taken aback, and did not answer for a long time, Cheng Shuibei continued: "Since it is a part-time job, the salary is definitely not as high as that of a full-time job, you go back and talk to those two girls, in the future, you will change to a half-day shift, and the daily salary will be higher." It's still fifty, you can study hard at school in the time you save, and you can leave if you don't want to..."

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you boss!" Wu Yuan rushed to answer.Who wouldn't want to do a job where the salary remains the same and the workload is halved. It seems that this new boss is much easier to get along with than the previous Manager Wang.

Cheng Shuibei patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder: "You can just call me Brother Bei, that's all, go get busy, I'll take a look and talk to you about other things later. You can call them both over the weekend .”

Wu Yuan obediently left, and started working ten times more seriously, and he wiped the top and bottom of the counter three times.

Cheng Shuibei found out the situation in the store this time, and on the way back, he called Zhou Xingzhan and told him about the expulsion of the king. Zhou Xingzhan said that he was very angry after being kept in the dark for several years. Can't do it in the industry.

"That's not necessary, Brother Zhou, I'll take a look in the next few days, and we'll talk about it after we've decided on the rectification plan." Cheng Shuibei didn't want to make things worse and stop people from surviving. As for whether others are willing to use Manager Wang, that's someone else's. something happened.

"Okay, I'll ask Xiaohai to transfer the start-up funds to you later, let go of your hands, I'm going to buy a small cake for your sister Tong first, hang up."

Zhou Daqingzhong went to run for his girlfriend without saying a word, Cheng Shuibei smiled contemptuously, and also went to buy a small cake for his brother.

Dong Sining told him that if the current anxiety cannot be improved for a while, it is better to try to transfer energy to other things.Cheng Nan's admission notice came, and the school would not start until the beginning of September. Cheng Shuibei took his brother and Chacha with him when he was free, and devoted himself to the work of the bookstore.

Those two female students came later, one named Chen Xiaowen and the other named Xing Ruyi, and they both studied law, which made Cheng Shuibei very happy.They are all from the countryside. Xiaowen's parents divorced when she was young, and they are all children of poor families.Cheng Shuibei promised to get a commission at the end of the month for a good job, and the two were so happy that they said "Brother Bei" and called Boss Cheng elated.

Zhou Xingzhan's original store name was also the same as his magazine's name, "Apostle of Light", Cheng Shuibei felt ashamed at a glance, so he simply took off the signboard, let Cheng Nan choose the name, and changed it to "Ruoshui Bookstore".

Xiaotiancai has not made much progress in the field of science recently because he has not been led by Professor Zhang, so he simply picked up a book in the bookstore and started to study Zhouyi and Laozhuang.

Cheng Shuibei doesn't care about him, and he can't control him. All he can control in this family is what time to go out to do important things.

If the water bookstore is closed for renovation, Cheng Shuibei thought about it, and felt that the empty shops on both sides of the store were too deserted and not conducive to development, so he discussed with Zhou Xingyan and rented the two rooms on the left and right, and opened up the partition, so that there are three rooms in a row. , The bookstore turned into the largest store in the entire commercial building.

The original small bookcases have also been changed into large cabinets placed against the wall, with soft cloth benches beside the cabinets, and upper tables and small stools in the middle of the store, making it convenient for visitors to sit down and read.

The easternmost place far away from the elevator is a little cleaner. Cheng Shuibei didn't put bookshelves at all, but put long tables and high stools for self-study and office. In addition, there is tea supply next to it. It will probably become a good place for students and white-collar workers.

The tables and chairs in this area can be moved, and a large display screen is installed in front, which can also be used for small gatherings and publicity.

Except for Wu Yuan and two female students who came to help occasionally, most of the rest of the work, such as purchasing and refitting, was done by Cheng Shuibei alone or by temporary workers. during holidays.

Wu Yuan, Xiaowen, and Ruyi asked him for leave one after another to go home, and Cheng Shuibei suddenly realized that Zhang Ci'an should also be on vacation.

It was time to go home after the holiday, and the fact that Cheng Shuibei had sneaked in was revealed.

When Cheng Shuibei thought of this, he became anxious, and when he was anxious, he snored the dog's head, causing the little princess to lose dog hair one by one, and Zhang Fei became Zhang Bald.

"I think it's lenient to be honest." Cheng Nan rescued his pet dog from Cheng Shuibei's evil hands, and made moves to Cheng Shuibei as if nothing had happened.

It seems to be the truth to be frank and lenient.

Cheng Shuibei made up his mind to strike first, but Professor Zhang called before he did.

"Xiao Bei, I've finished the exam and I'm going home tomorrow. Is there anything you want? I can take it back."

As soon as Zhang Ci'an left the examination room, he impatiently called Cheng Shuibei, his tone full of anticipation: "Do you want to eat butterfly cakes? I'll buy them later. There is also your favorite youth group at the corner..."

Amid Zhang Ci'an's chatter, Cheng Shuibei said to himself: "Zhang Ci'an, I'm not in Jiangshuo now, I'm in Yunan."

After he finished speaking, what he got was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

In the silence was Zhang Cian's increasingly tense and rapid breathing.

"Xiaobei, you are for me, for me..."

He worked hard for a long time, but still failed to say the words "come for me", but Cheng Shuibei could understand.

"I'm here to see a doctor, and my brother is here to go to school."

Cheng Shuibei retorted.

He couldn't speak his heart outright, he could only make excuses one after another, in order to answer Zhang Ci'an's increasingly heavy hopes.

With such a few words, the clever Professor Zhang must be able to figure out that Cheng Shuibei is hiding it because he doesn't want to see him.

Zhang Ci'an didn't say anything, but only answered in silence.

"Go home quickly, Auntie is still waiting for you."

Cheng Shuibei didn't know what Zhang Ci'an's expression would be when he heard his words. The two of them are now in the same city, and they don't see each other very close.

"okay, I get it."

Zhang Ci'an's magnetic voice was full of disappointment, but he still assured him: "Xiao Bei, don't worry, as long as you don't agree, I won't show up."

He didn't blame Cheng Shuibei for hiding it from him, nor did he rush over to meet him right away, all he could give was the utmost respect.

Cheng Shuibei's breathing was shallow, and his voice became smaller and smaller, like a kitten that was finally comforted.

"Go home, give me some time. When you come back, there is plenty of time to meet."

Life is not easy, Cha Cha sighed.
