Zhu Xiaoyue is not only smart, but also very measured. Once she joined Qingsong Bookstore, she changed her name to Xin You's boss.

 This is one of the reasons why shopkeeper Hu admires Zhu Xiaoyue. Business people can go a long way if they are measured.

When Zhu Xiaoyue shouted, He Yushi, who was holding a thick travel journal, immediately looked over and then hurriedly lowered his head and buried it in the book.

Xin You caught a glimpse of He Yushi's movements out of the corner of his eye, and his suspicion that he was the Dongsheng was dispelled.

It's not that she is rash, but that Yushi He is really thin-skinned when pursuing the girl he likes. He can't imagine that the forces behind the murder of his mother would use such a chess piece.

“Miss Zhu, are you still getting used to being in the bookstore?” Xin You walked over and asked with a smile.

“I’m getting used to it very well. The shopkeeper and the staff are all very nice, and there are a lot of books to read...” Zhu Xiaoyue’s lips curled up as she talked about her life in the bookstore these days.

Although the pain of losing her family cannot be eliminated, Zhu Xiaoyue clearly knows that being able to live such a life is the best thing for her after misfortune.

 And all this is thanks to Miss Kou.

Zhu Xiaoyue looked at Xin You with gratitude in her eyes.

“Miss Zhu, just adapt to it. If you encounter any inconvenience, just tell Shopkeeper Hu and Aunt Fang.”

 “Hmm. Will the host stay here today?”

"No, I have to go back to Shaoqing's Mansion later." Xin You looked at Shopkeeper Hu, "Shopkeeper, are there a lot of miscellaneous items in the library on the second floor?"

 The lobby of Qingsong Bookstore is spacious and bright, and is sufficient to handle daily transactions except during special periods when new books are on sale. The second floor is a bookstore, with only four floors on the first floor. The stairs are inward, and you have to go up from the back yard. Over time, it became a place where debris was piled up.

"Yes. Does the boss have any plans?"

Xin You smiled: "The shopkeeper knows me well. I see that there are often customers who come to read books, and I want to make use of the bookstore."

 “Please give me details, my boss.”

“Rebuild the stairs that can go up from the lobby, clean up and decorate the bookcase, put some screen tables and chairs with cushions, and let the guests who often come to read books register, so they can read and relax on the second floor.”

Shopkeeper Hu listened carefully, and Liu Zhou couldn't help but interject: "My boss, are you doing something good again?"

 “Huh?” Xin You raised his eyebrows.

Liu Zhou quickly glanced in the direction of He Yushi and lowered his voice: "Look, people are coming here all the time just standing like this. If a place is specially set up for people to read comfortably, it won't be a headache."

 Let people who read books feel so comfortable. Isn't this a good deed?

"Tea and snacks can be sold. Guests who go upstairs will consume at least one cup of crude tea..." Xin You went on to explain a lot of details.

Shopkeeper Hu’s eyes became brighter the more he listened, and finally he touched his palm and said, “My boss is a great talent!”

 With these characteristics, even if Mr. Songling stops writing new books in the future, the bookstore will not fall into the same situation as before. As for tea and snacks, it’s worth it if you can maintain the operation of the second floor. If you can make a small profit, that’s the icing on the cake.

“Master, our bookstore cannot do without you!” Shopkeeper Hu looked at Xin You eagerly and said sincerely.

Xin You covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed lightly: "Since I was tortured at Jinlin Guard, my body is a little weak. I will come back after I recover."

Hearing what she said, Shopkeeper Hu and others naturally stopped talking.

 At this time, Yushi He came over.

Zhu Xiaoyue introduced: "My boss, this is Mr. He Yushi. Mr. He, this is Miss Kou, our boss."

Xinyou was blessed: "I have long heard of the name He Yushi Qingtian, and the women of the people have long admired him."

He Yushi handed over his hand and said: "Miss Kou's good reputation spreads far and wide, and He has also admired her for a long time."

“I just heard from Sister Zhu that Mr. He often comes to the bookstore to read books recently.” Xin You mentioned Zhu Xiaoyue and found that He Yushi was obviously nervous for a moment, “I just want to introduce new measures in the bookstore...”

After talking about the general measures, Xin You smiled and invited: "The first three registered guests can enjoy free tea for half a month. The reading room has just been launched. I wonder if it can attract guests. Can Mr. He be the first book guest? It’s a bit of a publicity for us.”

He Yushi was still hesitant at first, but half of his hesitation disappeared when he heard that tea was free for half a month. When he saw Zhu Xiaoyue's expectant eyes, the other half of his hesitation was gone.

"Okay." Seeing He Yushi nodding, Xin You felt slightly relieved and glanced at Shopkeeper Hu.

Shopkeeper Hu immediately opened a new booklet: "Sir, you can register first, and our reading room will be open in three days."

He Yushi took the brush from Liu Zhou and wrote down his name and other simple information.

 “He said goodbye.” Yushi He cupped his hands and was too embarrassed to look at Zhu Xiaoyue, and quickly walked out of the bookstore.

Xin You looked away and landed on the new book.

 The ink is still wet, and the writing is sharp and completely different from the handwriting on the letter.

 Unless He Yushi can also write with his left hand, just by looking at this handwriting, we can rule him out.

 “The character He Yushi is really well written.” Shopkeeper Hu praised.

Liu Zhou looked at Shopkeeper Hu with a look that was hard to explain.

 Does the shopkeeper know that He Yushi is only in his twenties, and suddenly he will discover the advantages of He Yushi?

“Shopkeeper, please put away the booklet. I will take a look at it regularly, and the bookcase on the second floor will also be put away as soon as possible..."

 “Don’t worry, boss.”

Shopkeeper Hu was about to put the book away when he saw He Qingxiao walking in.

 The old shopkeeper stopped silently.

 As soon as the boss comes, Mr. He comes, haha.

Liu Zhou greeted him enthusiastically: "I haven't seen Mr. He for several days. Mr. He, our bookstore has launched a new initiative..."

After hearing what Liu Zhou said, He Qingxiao stretched out her hand: "Then let me register."

Seeing the simple message left by He Yushi, He Qingxiao paused with the pen he was holding, and also wrote down his name on the side.

"It's been a long time since I saw Mr. He. If Mr. He is free, come to the guest room and have a cup of tea." Xin You invited.

 “Thank you, Miss Kou.”

The two of them entered the guest room, feeling stuffy and hot. It was obvious that the guest room was unused during the period when Xin You was away from the bookstore.

He Qingxiao walked to the window and opened it, letting in the breeze.

Liu Zhou, who originally wanted to open the window, silently exited the reception room upon seeing this.

 “Miss Kou wants to confirm it through handwriting?”

Xinyou nodded.

 “I have arranged for someone to be with Mr. Zhao, and I will find an opportunity to take away the paper he is writing on. The painting is waiting for the edict—”

Xin You answered: "I am working with Hua Daizhao, and it should be very convenient to see his writing. I just don't know if these three people can write with their left hand..."

 “Take your time. Now that you have a goal, it’s easier to dig out more.”

"Master He is right." Xinyou pursed her lips and asked, "Master He came here, is there something new?"

He Qingxiao nodded: "The men who were staring at the paintings came to report that a man wearing a bamboo hat went out from Hua Daizhao's residence and set up a stall on the street to sell paintings. After the man went to the street, he took off the bamboo hat and saw that it did not look like a painting. Awaiting the edict."

His eyes fell on Xin You's face and he guessed: "It should be that the painting was changed after the edict."
