Zhou Chen and Han Chunming didn't stay here for long, because after a while, Grandpa Guan drove them away.

"There's no food for you at home, so get out of here."

Han Chunming didn't want to stay any longer, as he was still thinking about the copper coins he had left at Zhou Chen's house.

In the next few days, Han Chunming stayed at Zhou Chen's house, eating and drinking there, and even didn't go home to sleep at night.

Finally, Zhou Chen couldn't stand the smell on his body anymore and wanted him to go back and take a shower and change clothes before coming back. But he was still unwilling to do so and kept pestering Zhou Chen to lend him clothes. He just took a quick shower in the yard.

Faced with this scoundrel, Zhou Chen really had no choice but to let him do what he wanted. As for himself, he just lived his life as usual.

As for those copper coins, Zhou Chen was not in a hurry. He waited for Han Chunming to pick them first. When he had picked them and didn't want them anymore, he would take over.

After all, although the system can appraise treasures, they must be his own.

This also allowed Zhou Chen to determine his future goals. Regardless of anything else, he still had to keep making money in mind.

Damn, they say money isn't everything, but after traveling through so many worlds, he finally discovered that no matter what you want to do, you can't do without money. The only difference is the amount of money.

Damn, being poor is really the original sin.

After seven or eight days, Han Chunming finally finished looking at all the copper coins, and he looked at them more than once.

The final result made him both satisfied and dissatisfied.

I was satisfied that I did find quite a few copper coins with collection value, but I never encountered the master copy again.

He sighed for a long time about this matter, and every time he talked about it, he sounded sour.

On the one hand, he lost the mother eagle, and on the other hand, he really couldn't accept that he, a "veteran", was defeated by Zhou Chen, a novice. It was too shameful.

That was why, when Zhou Chen said he wanted the copper coins that he thought were worthless, he shuddered, then confirmed it again, and only after making sure it was correct did he give the copper coins to Zhou Chen.

There were no accidents this time. Zhou Chen put all the copper coins in his hand. Unfortunately, not a single copper coin was recognized by the system.

What pleased Han Chunming the most was that he found several intact Apocalypse Tongbao in the copper coins. According to him, these things are still of some value.

In addition, there is also a copper coin with the twelve zodiac animals from the Qing Dynasty.

In short, he spent fifty yuan to buy a bag of copper coins this time, which was definitely a huge profit because he didn't even have to pay back the borrowed money.

Of course, the one who made the most money was Zhou Chen. Although he paid fifty, he got a treasure recognized by the system, which was really a great profit.

Han Chunming dragged his tired body back home and was immediately questioned by his mother, who scolded him for where he had been in the past few days and why he didn't come back to tell her.

Han Chunming tried every means to coax his mother into submission, but not long after, Su Meng came to cause trouble again, also questioning him why he had not come back for so many days.

Zhou Chen was not as tired as Han Chunming. His life remained unchanged. He just took time to buy a few history books to read.

Not long after, Zhou Liangping came to him with good news.

"Xiaochen, your uncle has already informed my friend that you can go to the library to work tomorrow. When you get there, just report Director Hong's name and someone will arrange the entry procedures for you."

"Thank you, Uncle. By the way, which library is it?"

"X× Library!"

"?"

After hearing the name of the library, Zhou Chen was a little confused. He had lived in Yanjing for many years and had some knowledge of the libraries in Yanjing City, but he had never heard of the library that Zhou Liangping mentioned.

"Uncle, how big is this library?"

"It's huge, one of the best in the whole of Yanjing, right here..."

"Is this so?"

Zhou Chen frowned slightly, and had a guess in his mind. It seemed that different changes occurred in different film and television worlds. What existed in other worlds might not exist in this world, and what did not exist in other worlds might exist in this world.

The more you experience this kind of thing, the more you will be able to let it go.

"I understand, Uncle. I will report tomorrow."

"Okay, I came here to tell you this. Now that I'm done, I'll leave first."

Zhou Liangping came twice, and both times he came and left in a hurry, without wasting a moment.

Zhou Chen was planning to report tomorrow. Under normal circumstances, the college entrance examination would be resumed in two years, and he would have to stay in the library for two years.

Zhou Chen was naturally very clear about what the workplace was like. Even though he was not planning to work in the library forever, it was still necessary for him to establish good interpersonal relationships.

That night, Zhou Chen had a good rest. The next morning, after getting dressed, he rode his bicycle to the library.

After arriving at the destination, Zhou Chen was surprised when he looked at the unfamiliar library in front of him.

Because the scale of this library is quite large, I don’t know how much its total area is, but it covers an area of ​​at least two to three thousand square meters, and it is several stories high.

You have to know that it is 75 years now, not several decades later. In this era, it is not easy for a library to be so large.

Chapter 642 Leisurely Life in the Library

Zhou Chen walked into the library and explained the situation to the guard, and then he was taken to an office.

"Master Zhao, this comrade said he came to see you."

Zhou Chen looked around and found that this was an independent office, but since he was the deputy director, this was normal.

That’s right, the friend his second uncle mentioned was the deputy director of this library, one of the most powerful people in this state-owned library.

After the guide left, Zhao Lijie put away his serious expression and said to Zhou Chen in a friendly manner: "You must be Lao Zhou's nephew, right? I am an old friend of your second uncle. You can just call me Uncle Zhao."

Since he was giving him face, Zhou Chen naturally called out obediently, "Uncle Zhao."

"Okay, come and sit down."

After Zhou Chen sat down, Zhao Lijie said, "Your second uncle has already greeted me and said that you like reading, so you want to work in the library."

Zhou Chen said modestly: "I like reading books, but I was too ignorant when I was in school and didn't study hard. Now I think about it, I feel that I wasted my time before. Now I am just purely interested in reading books."

"This is great. Young people like you should learn more and strive to become talents who can contribute to the country and society in the future."

Zhao Lijie is obviously used to being a leader and speaks in his own way.

"In our library, there is nothing else, but books. We have absolutely everything you need. No matter what book you want to read, we can find it for you."

Zhou Chen smiled and replied: "That is really a happy thing."

Zhao Lijie nodded: "For someone who loves books, it is indeed a happy thing to be able to work in a library."

The two chatted for a while and then got down to business.

Zhao Lijie took the initiative to say, "Before you came, your uncle should have explained the situation to you. Originally, with my relationship with your uncle, it wouldn't be a big problem to arrange a regular position for you. But you came at an unfortunate time. Two months ago, one of our employees just retired and his position became vacant. If you could have come two months earlier, I could have arranged a position for you directly. What a pity."

Zhou Chen has been looking at Zhao Lijie. Although Zhao Lijie sounded sincere in what he said, who knows whether it was true or not?

"Uncle Zhao, you are so worried. In fact, you really don't need to take care of me. No matter what position you assign me, I will work hard. Anyway, I am contributing to society and the country. It doesn't matter what position I take."

"it is good."

Zhao Lijie immediately clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Zhou Chen, you are worthy of being your second uncle's good nephew. Your second uncle is highly conscious, and your consciousness is not bad either. Our library lacks good comrades like you who are young, smart, and conscious."

After he had finished his high-sounding remarks, he got down to business.

"Xiao Zhou, although there are many positions in our library, since you are new here, I can't assign you an important position. How about you start from the grassroots level?"

"Uncle Zhao, you don't have to be so polite. I'll listen to your arrangements. I'll do whatever you ask me to do."

Zhou Chen really didn't care. He believed that Zhou Liangping must have told Zhao Lijie about his situation and it would be impossible for him to be assigned particularly heavy work.

Zhao Lijie was very satisfied with Zhou Chen's attitude. He was afraid that Zhou Chen would rely on his relationship with Zhou Liangping to make decisions here, so he asked him to arrange a good position.

"In fact, our library already has quite a few people, and it's hard to put them elsewhere. I want you to be a librarian, responsible for organizing and classifying things. It's relatively easy. What do you think?"

Don’t think that librarian is a cadre position just because the word “management” is in his/her title. In fact, it is not.

Although there are not as many positions in libraries nowadays as there were later, librarian is just a nice-sounding title. In fact, librarian is an ordinary employee who is responsible for daily book organization, classification, inventory, maintenance, shelving and other chores. If a customer cannot find a book, the librarian also has to help the customer find the book, etc.

Unlike later generations, where one can be responsible for purchasing, management and other matters, in short, it is a low-level position.

This is also normal. He does not have a position now, so it is definitely impossible for him to get a better position. After all, Zhao Lijie is only the deputy director, not the director.

"I'm fine, Uncle Zhao."

Zhao Lijie breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Zhou Chen had no objection. Zhou Liangping was his friend, but there was still a gap in their status. Being able to help meant that Zhou Liangping owed him a favor, which was also a good thing for him.

"In our library, we manage books. Everyone has their own area. Xiao Zhou, which area of ​​books are you most interested in? I will arrange for you to go to that area."

It would be great if I could choose by myself. Zhou Chen answered without hesitation: "Then history is ok?"

"History? Okay, no problem. Come on, I'll take you there now and find someone to guide you. He was in charge of the history books section before."

Led by Zhao Lijie, Zhou Chen came to the second floor of the library, where the area for historical books was located.

The first and second floors of this library are used to store books, and there is also a reading room, exhibition hall, etc., all on the first floor; the third and fourth floors are offices, conference rooms, toilets, water rooms, etc.

"Song Bo, come here."

The library was not officially open yet. After Zhao Lijie came to the second floor, he shouted loudly.

"coming."

A man in his thirties ran over from the bookshelf and immediately stood up straight after seeing Zhao Lijie.

"Director Zhao, you're looking for me?"

Zhao Lijie didn't waste any words and said directly: "Song Bo, I have a task for you. This is Zhou Chen, who just arrived today. From now on, he will be in charge of the history book area. I will hand him over to you. You should explain the situation here to him. If you don't teach him seriously, you will be in trouble."

Song Bo smiled and replied, "Director, don't worry, leave it to me. I guarantee there will be no problem."

The person who was brought here personally by Deputy Director Zhao to give instructions is obviously a relative. He does have some good eyesight.

Zhao Lijie was very satisfied, and then he said to Zhou Chen in a gentle voice: "Xiao Zhou, you will learn from him from now on. Song Bo has been in our library for several years and is very familiar with it. If you have any questions, just ask him directly. Don't be polite."

"Yes, Uncle Zhao, I understand."

Hearing Zhou Chen calling Zhao Lijie "Uncle Zhao", Song Bo blinked and the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Do your best. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

"Uncle Zhao, goodbye."

"Director Zhao, please walk slowly."

After Zhao Lijie left, Song Bo looked at Zhou Chen with a smile on his face and asked in a low voice: "Your name is Zhou Chen, right? Hello, my name is Song Bo. You can just call me by my name, or call me Old Song."

Zhou Chen did not act arrogantly, but just smiled and said: "Brother Song, I will trouble you to take care of me in the future."

Seeing Zhou Chen calling him brother, Song Bo's smile became even brighter.

"You're too polite, brother. We'll be colleagues from now on. Zhou Chen, you're very familiar with our Director Zhao. I heard you call him uncle?"

Song Bo pretended to ask casually and began to inquire about Zhou Chen's background.

Zhou Chen replied calmly: "Uncle Zhao and my second uncle are good friends, so he is taking care of me."

"Oh, I see."

Song Bo nodded. He was a little unsure about Zhou Chen's situation, but this did not hinder his enthusiasm.

"Come, Brother Zhou, let me show you around here. Our library is ranked among the best in the whole of Yanjing. Many people come here to read and borrow books, but this has little to do with us employees. At most, there are too many people, so we will be busier."

Song Bo was a very talkative person, and soon he told Zhou Chen a lot about the library.

From books to people, from men to women, he even talked a lot of gossip, as if there was nothing in this library that he didn't know.

This surprised Zhou Chen very much. If you said Song Bo was a woman, it would be fine to have so much gossip, but he is obviously a man, and there are even more gossips about him than about women.

Zhou Chen only has one evaluation of Song Bo.

Talent.

This guy shouldn't be a librarian, he should be an entertainment reporter. Oh, by the way, there is no such thing as the entertainment industry now...

But Zhou Chen was also very grateful to Song Bo, because his help helped him adapt to this position quickly.

There are quite a lot of history books in the library, with more than a dozen bookshelves and at least tens of thousands of books.

According to Song Bo, the number of books in their library reaches hundreds of thousands.

This is not a library from decades later. In this turbulent era, it is really impressive for a library to have hundreds of thousands of books.

This is only the case in the capital, Yanjing. If it were in other cities, it would be difficult to reach this number. It would be difficult to have tens of thousands of books.

After learning from Song Bo for a few days, Zhou Chen officially started his work.
