"Sir, I think you must have misunderstood. If you don't believe there is surveillance over there, we can go check it out."
It's not that Zhou Zichen was worried about money and didn't want to buy the book. Under normal circumstances, the worst case scenario would be to tear it apart for you and I would just buy it. But this book was indeed not opened by Zhou Zichen, so why should he admit it?
"What surveillance are you checking? I think it's you!" But the librarian didn't care so much. He held the book in one hand and grabbed Zhou Zichen's sleeve with the other, pulling him to walk out.
"Stop pushing and shoving!" Zhou Zichen frowned. He hated people doing this to him the most.
"Yeah! You're reasonable, right? If you don't buy this book today, you won't be able to leave!" Seeing how stubborn Zhou Zichen was, the librarian not only didn't let go, but the words he said became even more unpleasant and persisted.
I want Zhou Zichen to buy this book.
Although Zhou Zichen was angry, there was nothing he could do about it. Who told him that he was unfamiliar with this place? And he believed that he would always be innocent. There were cameras all around, so there couldn't be any one of them that caught him, right?
"Director Liu! There is another person here who opens books without permission. What do you think we should do?" The librarian did not take Zhou Zichen to the counter. Instead, he took him to the back of the library.
There was almost no one here, but a middle-aged man who was sitting at a table reading a book raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhou Zichen.
"A fine of two thousand yuan." The middle-aged man took a mouthful of saliva with his hand and continued to read the book, as if he said he was fined two yuan.
Zhou Zichen laughed angrily, thinking that he was an outsider and was going to get a lot of money? If he opened the book privately, the worst he could do would be to buy it for you. Is there a fine?
"Did you hear that? Give me the money quickly!" The librarian who brought Zhou Zichen here before said to Zhou Zichen with a arrogant look.
"I told you, I didn't open that book. If you don't believe me, go investigate and monitor it!" Zhou Zichen had a hunch that these people often do this kind of thing. Maybe they opened it themselves and then bullied them from other places.
people.
"Surveillance? The surveillance there is broken. What surveillance do you want to see?" The librarian looked at Zhou Zichen with disdain. How many times have they done this? Even if the surveillance is good, it is impossible.
Let Zhou Zichen check it out.
"Broken? Then why do you say I opened it?" Zhou Zichen asked.
"I saw it with my own eyes. Are you going to pay it or not? According to our library's management regulations, anyone who opens the cover of a book without permission will be fined two thousand, otherwise we will call the police!"
When the librarian saw Zhou Zichen's expression of not wanting to give him money, he even called the police.
"Okay, then you call the police." Zhou Zichen sat aside. He didn't intend to leave, but wanted to see what these people had the guts to call the police.
Manager Liu, who was sitting nearby, paused in his movements and slowly raised his head.
"Xiao Li, report to the front desk and take him over so that everyone can see what he looks like!" Manager Liu snorted coldly. Since he has done this kind of thing many times, of course he will not do it so easily.
Let Zhou Zichen go.
They specifically target outsiders. As long as they don't look like locals, they will put on a show. Most people won't do it, but most people will choose to compromise at this time.
After all, they still want to be proud. People who come here from out of town can still come to the library. They are usually people with status and status. Maybe some of the people here know them.
"You have to think clearly, our library is a national first-class book collection point. As long as we say that you came in to cause damage, the TV station will make a big fuss, and you will not have time to regret it by then!"
Xiao Li looked at Zhou Zichen with a cold face and continued to threaten him.
Most people basically gave in after hearing this, and their library is indeed quite large and looks decent. If they were really on TV, someone would inevitably recognize them, and then they would be unable to argue.
.
"Oh, what does it have to do with me?" Zhou Zichen didn't even bother to raise his eyelids. If he didn't do anything, he definitely didn't do it. No matter what you say?
"Take it away. This kind of person really doesn't know how to have the dignity to come to such a sacred place as the library. He doesn't even know how to behave, so what's the use of reading?"
Manager Liu waved his hand, and they would act according to the rules for such disobedient people. Some self-media cooperated with their library and specialized in reporting such incidents, so the prestige of Deyun Books among the public was still very high.
As for the TV stations, they don’t have the qualifications yet. They are just making up the national first-level book collections to fool people.
"Let's go!" Xiao Li grabbed Zhou Zichen, feeling a little depressed.
Recently, these foreigners have become harder and harder to deceive. I have only encountered them three or four times this month, and they all failed. Fortunately, their public relations team is powerful enough. This matter made them turn white into black.
of.
Many people choose to come here because it is responsible, but little do they know that they are all lies.
Zhou Zichen didn't care, he didn't feel ashamed, but it was shameful for him to say that he took it without conscience!
"The following news is broadcast. Deyun Books have been passed down for centuries, but there are always people trying to destroy the tranquility here. A bad young man who destroyed the books has been caught and is being brought to the front desk."
The loudspeaker of Deyun Books is usually not used by anyone, but once the loudspeaker sounds, it means something is happening.
"Caught another one? Hurry over and have a look..."
"Are these people crazy? What a sacred place the library is?"
One after another, "scholars" who were kept in the dark but maintained their aloofness rushed to the front desk in order to scold those who destroyed books.
Zhou Zichen was brought to the front desk by the staff, and soon many people came to watch. The scene was comparable to a writer's meeting.
"Everyone, our library has caught another person who tried to destroy books. Deyun Books has been passed down for hundreds of years in order to serve the majority of readers, but the person you see has used the books of foreign literary giants without permission.
Read it privately and destroy it!"
Librarian Xiao Li stood next to Zhou Zichen, giving an "impassioned" speech, looking very angry.
"It's a small thing to destroy books, but there is only one copy of this book in the library, and he tore out a few pages to prevent you from seeing it in the future!"
Xiao Li opened the book in his hand. Not only was it pitch black, it was even torn in some places.
Zhou Zichen really didn't expect this. He didn't even move when he saw it just now. Now he was sure that these people were wrongly accusing him.
"I haven't done it." Zhou Zichen replied calmly.
"I saw it with my own eyes, it was you! If I hadn't stopped you, you might have ruined this book!" Xiao Li stood up immediately, pointed at Zhou Zichen and said firmly.
"What evidence do you have?" Zhou Zichen asked.
"The evidence is what I saw with my own eyes! I have been here for five years. This is my second home. Every book is like my child. Would I lie?" Xiao Li's face immediately changed to
He looked very sad, but he didn't blush at all when he told lies.
"Haha...I said you did it, but you can conclude that I did it based on your words? Are you too hasty?"
Zhou Zichen sneered twice, it would be a pity for Xiao Li not to become an actor.
"Okay, then what evidence do you have that you didn't do this?" Xiao Li is naturally not afraid of Zhou Zichen. With so many people here watching, his rhetoric has long been practiced to perfection, and the atmosphere among the onlookers will definitely be
Be led by him.
"I can memorize this book backwards, why should I read it again?" Zhou Zichen's calmness and calmness originally made many people feel uneasy, but now Zhou Zichen actually said arrogant words, and everyone started talking and felt that
Zhou Zichen's brain must be broken.
It’s such a thick book, and it’s in a small language. It takes a lot of effort just to read it, and it’s almost impossible to remember it!
"Hahaha! Ridiculous! If you can memorize it now, how about I kneel down for you and not pursue the matter?"
Xiao Li didn't take Zhou Zichen seriously at all. What kind of international joke was he making? This is a book in a small language. Most people can't even recognize all the characters, okay?
"Add another condition, tell me all the dirty things you have done!" Zhou Zichen looked at Xiao Li. He had a lot of time anyway, so if he didn't agree, everyone would waste it.
"Humph, we always do things above board. If there is something that really dissatisfies you, so what if I just say it?" Xiao Li gritted his teeth and agreed first anyway, keeping his mouth to himself and saying no.
If you say no, do you still have the final say?
"Is there anyone here who understands a small language? Please stand here with a book and you can ask whatever you want. If there is anything I can't answer, I will admit it!"
Zhou Zichen looked around. There should be people here who understand this language. Otherwise, there would be too few talented people in the library, right?
"I understand. I'm a professor at Chengnan University. I was lucky enough to read this book, but in the end I still couldn't study it thoroughly!"
An old man walked out of the crowd, wearing a pair of reading glasses and with gray hair, followed by several of his students.
"Even the old professor hasn't studied it clearly. How can a young boy like him memorize it?"
"That's right, I won't make a draft when I'm bragging. We'll see how embarrassed he is later..."
The onlookers were all ready to see Zhou Zichen slap himself in the face. No one believed that Zhou Zichen could really do these things.
"Old sir, please stand opposite me, lest anyone accuse me of cheating." Zhou Zichen made a gesture of invitation. Upon hearing this, the old man moved a few steps and stood opposite Zhou Zichen.
Seeing the old man's cooperation, Zhou Zichen breathed a sigh of relief. If the old man didn't go to the opposite side of him, how could he peek?
Zhou Zichen is just bragging, but so what? It’s not like he doesn’t know the words of a small language. He just needs to be able to see the words with his eyes closed. So what if he memorizes them backwards from back to front, let alone memorizing them from the beginning?
"Old gentleman, please point to the page number, so as not to say that I only know the beginning. Your time is precious and cannot be wasted." Zhou Zichen said to the old man.
"Page 342, do you want to hear what you said in the middle?" The old man saw that Zhou Zichen looked confident until now, and he felt a little hopeful in his heart.
Sure enough, Zhou Zichen didn't even pause and answered directly with his eyes closed.
"Old sir, did I answer any questions?" Zhou Zichen opened his eyes and looked at the old man. He could see the shock in the old man's expression!
"Is it fake? How is this possible?"
"Old sir, is he lying?"
No matter how noisy the people around him were, they couldn't compare to the shock in the old man's heart.
"Not a single word left, really not a single word left!"
