Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 36 Cooperation
It was not too late, and the streets were bustling with people coming and going.

Xin You got into the carriage and went straight to Qingsong Bookstore.

In the carriage, Xiao Lian asked in a low voice: "Miss, will the old lady really give you money to buy Qingsong Bookstore?"

Xin You smiled: "Out of this door, she has to buy it for me."

Xiao Lian couldn't figure it out, but her heart felt more at ease, and she was worried about another problem: "Then if the price can't be negotiated, why won't the owner of Qingsong Bookstore sell it?"

The smile on Xinyou's lips deepened: "As long as the other party is willing to make a move, there is no price that cannot be negotiated. If you don't want to sell at all, there will always be shops that are not doing well in the big capital, and Qingsong Bookstore is not the only way to go."

Xiao Lian breathed a sigh of relief: "The maid is relieved."

Xin You explained a few words in a low voice, and Xiao Lian continued to nod while holding back her shock.

While talking, Qingsong Bookstore arrived.

When Xin You got out of the carriage, her first glance was not at Qingsong Bookstore, but at the opposite side.

There is no longer a crowded crowd in front of Yaxin Bookstore, and the store door can be seen wide open, with customers coming in and out from time to time.

Looking at Qingsong Bookstore again, there are still few people, the shopkeeper and the clerks are bored and stare at each other.

"Hey, miss, you're here again." Seeing Xin You, the man was both surprised and enthusiastic.

The shopkeeper secretly glanced at the steward who was following Xin You, and guessed the purpose of this girl who knew Master He twice in the same day.

Xin You turned sideways: "This is Steward Duan from Shaoqing's Mansion, he came to talk with me."

"Steward Duan." The shopkeeper cupped his hands.

The butler bowed his hand in return.

The shopkeeper hesitated between Xin You and the housekeeper, and asked Xin You, "I wonder what the girl is here to talk about?"

"I visited the bookstore this morning, and heard from the shopkeeper that your owner intends to sell the bookstore. It happened that I had plans to open the bookstore, so I went back and asked my elders. The elders asked the steward to accompany me to ask."

The shopkeeper was taken aback: "Girl want to open a bookstore?"

Xin You nodded: "Yes."

"Opening a bookstore is not an easy task—" the shopkeeper suddenly realized that he shouldn't have said this, and hurriedly stopped talking.

"It's not easy. But I have my grandmother's support. If I really want to sell the bookstore, don't I have you experienced help from the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper froze for a moment.

What does this girl mean, if the Qingsong Bookstore is bought, these people in the bookstore will not have to find another way out?
The shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat twice.

Since the old club fell ill and the young club took over, the bookstore began to go downhill. After Mr. Ping'an switched to Yaxin Bookstore, he even reached a loss situation.

The young owner's thoughts were not on the bookstore either. After the old owner died of illness, he only wanted to live a relaxed life, and he had long intended to sell Qingsong Bookstore.

However, the bookstore across the street is very beautiful, no one wants to take over the mess of Qingsong Bookstore, or they just take the opportunity to pick up a bargain, and the money they pay is not enough to buy the house attached to the bookstore.

The shopkeeper has feelings for the bookstore, and he also has feelings for the old guys who have worked with him for many years. If the new owner is willing to take over the entire bookstore, he is very willing.

The shopkeeper can't believe it. It's still a little girl who wants to run the bookstore, but hearing from the other party that there is support from the elders in the family, it seems to be okay?

Maybe the little girl thinks it's fun, and when the freshness wears off, the family will take care of it.

"Our boss is not here, just wait a moment, I'll ask the guy to ask for it."

"Not urgent."

The shopkeeper told the buddy to call for someone.

During the waiting process, in order to avoid the silence, the shopkeeper chatted with Xin You, and found that Xin You didn't want to talk much, so he chatted with the housekeeper.

The housekeeper was suddenly ordered to go out with the cousin girl, and he was in a fog. He was happy to understand the situation with the shopkeeper, so he didn't notice that Xiaolian also went out quietly after the waiter left.

"Brother, where is your boss?"

To the little maid who was chasing up, the man was a little surprised: "Why did my sister come out?"

"Our girl has an explanation. Before your boss meets our girl, let me have a few words with your boss first."

The man was even more puzzled.

Xiao Lian skillfully slipped a piece of silver to the clerk: "Brother, I can do you a favor, just say a few words."

"That's fine. What's my sister's name?"

"My name is Xiaolian. What do you call my brother?"

"Sister Xiaolian calls me Liu Zhou."

"Liu Zhou, did your boss mention how much the bookstore is selling for?"

The guy became vigilant: "How can I, a little guy, know this?"

"Then... is your boss friendly? Is it easy to talk to?"

The man wiped off his sweat, thinking that this little maid can really speak.

Fortunately, the place she was going to was not far away, and Xiao Lian soon met the owner of Qingsong Bookstore.

It was a young man in his twenties, dressed in plain clothes, with a handsome appearance and a somewhat loose temperament.

Hearing what the buddy said, the young man looked at Xiaolian.

Xiao Lian saluted.

"Your girl wants to buy a bookstore?"

"Yes."

The young man was very direct: "Are you rich?"

The man secretly rolled his eyes.

The Young Master's family really doesn't miss the bookstore at all. It's so obvious that they won't be ruthlessly bargained down later.

"Our girl sincerely wants to buy it. I don't know how much the owner plans to sell it for?"

The young man frowned, obviously feeling that there was no need to talk about this with a little maid.

Xiao Lian hurriedly said: "Our girl wants to buy a bookstore, and it took a long time for the elders to agree. The person who accompanied the girl today is the manager of the house. The girl is afraid that the discussion will not be good, so I sent the servant girl to talk to the owner first."

The guy twitched his lips.

It can be seen that the girl who wants to buy a bookstore also doesn't know how to hide her thoughts. It's not obvious that she tells the seller that she really wants to buy it.

Looking at Shaodong's house, and then looking at Xiaolian, the guy suddenly calmed down: there are clubs on both sides, it's even.

Hearing what Xiaolian said, the young man said calmly: "8000 taels, if there is less, we won't sell it."

Xiao Lian didn't know whether the price of the bookstore was expensive or cheap, but she didn't need to understand, just follow the girl's instructions.

"8000 taels will not work."

The young man stopped, with an impatient expression on his face: "If you think it's expensive, then there's no need to waste each other's time."

He knew that there were not many people who bought it sincerely, and some people thought of buying it for 5000 taels before.No matter how much he wanted to get rid of the burden of losing money, he couldn't sell it.

Seeing the young man turned around and wanted to leave, Xiao Lian hurriedly stopped him: "Master, listen to the servant girl first."

"You said."

Xiaolian stretched out two fingers.

The young man's face suddenly changed: "2000 taels? Are you girls making fun of me?"

"My boss misunderstood. It's not 2000 taels, but 2 taels."

The young man was stunned, and couldn't help but look at the buddy.

Did you hear me wrong?
The guy's stunned look made him realize that he heard correctly, and he frowned and stared at Xiao Lian.

Xiao Lian finished her sentence without changing her face: "When you meet my girl, you will ask for 2 taels, and the girl will buy it. You will keep 1 taels later, and the other 1 taels will be returned to our girl."

The man's eyes straightened.

He has never seen anyone make such a difference in the price at home!
"What do you think?"

The young man frowned even tighter.

Of course he is willing to earn 2000 taels more for nothing, but the people in the Shaoqing Mansion are not fools. He agreed to buy it when he said 2 taels?

Listening to the young man's doubts, Xiao Lian's tone was firm: "If our girl wants to buy it, she will definitely be able to buy it. It just depends on whether the boss is willing to cooperate."

The young man was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Deal."
