"Is this a late-night bookstore?"
The only customer seemed to be engrossed, but in fact he was obviously anxious. He had been paying attention to the exchange between the two from the moment Yuan Shan entered the door.
Seeing Fu Qian respond so straightforwardly at this moment, I couldn't help but rush to question him before he could drive people away.
"no."
Pay Qian looked at him doubtfully.
"Then how could you close so early?"
This person expressed that he had finally found a quiet place, but the result was so fleeting that it was hard to accept.
"It's unethical to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, and my turnover today has been zero. Just a quick calculation, it's obviously not suitable to open."
He put his chin in his hands and said casually.
“Don’t just think about making money when doing business, you must also shoulder your own social responsibilities...”
Although there was no special expression before paying, the customer was still so excited by these words that he subconsciously put down the book in his hand.
"Such as helping people with sleep disorders like you?"
Fu Qian nodded thoughtfully, then stood up the next moment, walked to the bookshelf opposite and pulled out three large books, flipped through them and picked the one with the most formulas and threw it away.
“No discounts, cash only.”
"Here, I don't understand mathematics..."
I almost got hit, and after I hurriedly took it, the customer took one look and was stunned.
"That would be better."
He was expressionless in front of me and offered no room for negotiation at all.
…
The customer mustered up the courage for three seconds, but finally did not dare to put the book down, and tremblingly took out the money to pay.
"I'm going to file a complaint against you..."
But when he was leaving with the book in hand, this person couldn't help but say a harsh word.
"Okay, you are welcome to contact any relevant department."
He agreed happily and even glanced at Yuan Shan.
…
"It's rare to see you take business so seriously!"
The bookstore was filled with customers and Chief Yuan, who was watching the whole process, couldn't help but praise him.
"There's no way around it. You have to be more serious when there are few people."
Fu Qian said while packing the garbage skillfully.
It's fun to just drive them away when there are a lot of people, so there's no need to go to such trouble, right?
Yuan Shan sighed, finding it difficult to accept that she understood so well.
"But wouldn't it be a waste to sell a book to someone who can't read?"
"How could it be? If you buy a book at the original price, no matter how obscure it is, you can't help but flip through it."
"...Let's go. Our journey is still a bit far. Do you prefer it to be more spacious or quieter?"
“Spacious and quiet.”
"clear."
…
"You've been very busy recently. Have you been to any interesting places?"
In the cabin, Yuan Shan handed Fu Qian a cup of tea and asked with a smile.
"It's okay, it's a beach vacation."
The other party had a chatting tone, and his posture before paying was very relaxed.
"Oh? It's quite pleasant?"
Yuan Shan's expression looked quite sincere.
"I'm so envious. I'm so busy here!"
"The weather is bad."
Fu Qian shook his head, but he was very satisfied with Chief Yuan's attention to detail.
When she went out this time, she used the special pass she had given her before. In theory, it would be too easy to track her, but her reaction was that she knew nothing about it.
In the current situation, there is no need for her to act stupid about this.
It seems that she has given herself a considerable right to be forgotten, and even strictly abides by it.
My many honest words of advice are not in vain!
"That is indeed a disappointing thing, but don't be too sad, the weather is very good where we are going."
Yuan Shan comforted her and sounded very eager to go back this time.
“It’s really been a long time since I went back!”
"Speaking of this, I still want to ask. After all, this is the headquarters of the Nightkeeper. I thought there would be a dimensional gate or something like that, but we still have to fly all the way there?"
Blink before paying.
"I understand how you feel, but crossing space is not that reliable in this world."
Yuan Shan explained with a smile and pointed around.
"There are very few means of access of that type, but if you think about everything on the bright side, we can chat for a while during the process. Are you satisfied with the environment?"
"good."
Before paying, I looked at the vehicle which was much more spacious and luxuriously decorated than the ones I had taken before.
"Is this your business jet?"
"Mine is not that big. It is not an asset of the Nightkeeper."
Yuan Shan shook her head and smiled.
"Didn't you say it should be more spacious? The original passengers decided to postpone their trip temporarily."
Domineering!
It hasn't been long since I made my choice. The group of human elites might have been dragged down directly before taking off.
I sighed in admiration before paying, not feeling anything wrong.
He just did something similar a few days ago.
"So now can you tell me why you took this trip?"
"No, the answer to this question is not within my authority now."
Yuan Shan simply shook her head.
"What I can tell you is that we will first meet with a person on this trip. He is very much looking forward to this exchange and will confirm the next step based on the results of the exchange."
"Does that include killing me on the spot?"
Fu Qian nodded repeatedly and asked a slightly pointed question.
"It cannot be completely ruled out...but I will do my best to avoid this happening."
Yuan Shan's answer was frank and serious, and her voice became softer the next moment.
"So thank you for coming."
"Of course, if you think about the bright side, it's a very interesting place. As long as it's not the worst possible situation, I believe you will like it!"
But after all, he is the chief of the party, his emotional control ability is top-notch, and he can turn into a tour guide in a second.
"If you're lucky, you can also visit Su Gao."
"Is she here too?"
The heroic appearance of his top thug naturally emerged in Fu Qian's mind.
"Not often, she's very busy recently."
Yuan Shan sighed.
"The world is getting more and more chaotic."
…
To be fair, this long journey to death was overall comfortable and satisfying.
Although Yuan Shan was very principled and never mentioned any information related to "Year of Change", she obviously had a good conversation without going to work, and she told Fu Qian a lot about going to Beijing.
According to her, the matter with Goulard has been completely settled.
In the end, this ancient family was deeply grateful to the night steward for his clear understanding and help in eradicating the family cancer, and expressed its strong support for the work of the new city official Gan Zixun.
At the same time, after keeping a low profile for a few days, Miss Wen finally appeared in social situations. Her rocket-like promotion speed was exposed, which shocked the extraordinary world in Shangjing.
Now the reputation is so high that it has surpassed the previous North Jiang Ennan Taylor, and is hailed as the most likely character to regain the status of the King of Universiade in Beijing.
The two of them, who pale in comparison, are keeping a low profile and have disappeared due to the previous turmoil.
All kinds of anecdotes, coupled with the very good quality ingredients, made me listen with gusto before paying.
Of course, all of this is not as good as the impact you will receive when you are about to arrive at your destination.
"Are you sure you didn't go to the wrong place?"
He withdrew his eyes from the few vaguely identifiable landmark buildings and frowned before paying attention.
"Is it different from the painting style you imagined?"
Yuan Shan had a look of enjoyment on her face, as if she had been looking forward to his reaction for a long time.
"Yes, my original idea was that even if it wasn't a holy temple and a demonic realm, it was at least a floating city in the mountains. What are you—"
"Casino."
Yuan Shan confirmed his judgment.
"But I want to correct your statement. This is indeed a hidden sanctuary. Welcome to-"
Her expression became serious for a second.
"The Holy City of Night."
...I just said that I have never heard of the Northern Headquarters of the Night Bearers before.
The trip to the Sea of Ashes is complete, sorry for being lazy and only have one update today.
