Chapter 626 Night within Night_1

Chapter 626: Chapter 626 Night within Night_1 Chapter 626: Chapter 626 Night within Night_1 In fact, for Fu Qian, there was no absolute need to mislead Handsome Brother’s judgment.

After all, even if he did confirm the problem and complained to the Night Watchman again, the result would not differ from last time.

The main reason he did it so casually was thinking as a decent burner account it was more convenient and sustainable to use.

But it has to be said that the resulting unexpected situation did arouse some curiosity in Fu Qian.

Handsome Brother’s own strength was mediocre, yet just now, under the conflict between his persistence and the dream realm’s rules, the upgraded Clear Dream Ring exhibited noticeable instability.

Is this the power of dreams?

Seeing that Cha Yingjun’s emotions had gradually stabilized and that he was now sitting in the room staring blankly, Fu Qian left the scene of the crime amidst his reflections.

The new employee’s first day at work, let me, the store manager, make a surprise inspection.

…

Indeed!

Outside the bookstore, Fu Qian looked at the scene inside and nodded contentedly.

He truly had an eye for talent, and the performance was quite good.

At this moment, the small bookstore was undoubtedly more popular than usual, with the number of customers already in the double digits.

These people were scattered around but maintained an extreme quietness, their manners too good to be true.

Moreover, at the same time, they had one thing in common—all of them had their backs to the counter.

And Su Gao, by the counter, was arguably the most focused of all, her movements and posture almost unchanged since she had left.

She felt she received unfair treatment.

The so-called justice of aesthetic attraction?

Fu Qian did not believe for a second that this sudden influx of people was here just to mooch off books.

In fact, when Wen Li volunteered here before, a similar phenomenon had occurred.

The difference was, when Wen Li was around, at least some people mustered the courage to try and strike up a conversation.

Now with Su Gao manning the counter, no one even dared to look directly at her.

It wasn’t that she was intimidating, it was just that, although it was her first day on the job, Su Gao radiated an extreme satisfaction with herself, carrying an aura that ignored everything else.

It was now evening, and the sunlight streamed through the small window behind the counter, illuminating half of her face perfectly.

At first glance, there was an almost timeless tranquility.

Any admirer, faced with such a scene, would instantly lose the courage to approach.

As one who valued making guests feel at home, Fu Qian naturally wouldn’t disrupt the customers’ exemplary behavior, so he entered quietly, without making a sound.

Unfortunately, although the customers dared not look directly at Su Gao, they certainly had the courage to size up others, and they all turned their gaze toward him.

“How are the sales?”

Pulling such a crowd of gazes, Fu Qian walked to the counter and sat down, greeting Su Gao.

And it was then that the customers realized that he was not a fellow patron, but the owner of the store.

“Not a single one has been sold.”

Su Gao reluctantly shifted her gaze from the book and answered with a smile.

“Good, very good!”

Fu Qian did not skimp on his praise, expressing great satisfaction with her first day’s work.

This…

Not selling a single book, yet it’s very good?

Without a doubt, at this moment, the entire bookstore was listening to the conversation between the two with bated breath.

Even as Fu Qian asked about the performance, there were already some who reacted swiftly, trying to step forward to buy a book to save Su Gao from embarrassment.

However, the moment Fu Qian’s review was posted, those eager to try were instantly stiffened in their tracks, their minds flooded with question marks.

Indeed, they were still too young. The customers clearly lacked experience and knew very little about the corporate culture of this store.

“All right, everyone, thank you for supporting our work. The store is now closed.”

Unfortunately, before the customers had time to figure it out, Fu Qian behind the counter had already started tapping on the table to usher them out.

We’re not unscrupulous capitalists; how could we have such a heartless practice as overtime work?

And considering the scandalous conversation the two had earlier, although the customers were puzzled, none expressed any objection. They all returned their books to the shelves, even taking extra care to organize them neatly, and then left the store in an orderly fashion.

Now, these are quality customers!

Hiring a quality employee, a substantial rental income cashed in, and not even needing to restock, Fu Qian was quite satisfied with today’s business performance and in a very good mood.

“You two really know how to…”

Compared to Su Gao, who was equally pleased, Chief Yuan didn’t look as delighted.

The customers had barely left when he came barging in.

Looking at the counter, observing Fu Qian and Su Gao, whose postures were nearly identical to when he left, he was quite speechless.

“What do you mean play? And isn’t closing early to welcome Chief Yuan?”

Fu Qian wasn’t at all surprised by Yuan Shan’s arrival.

During his chat with Su Gao, he had sensed her prowling outside.

And considering he didn’t want to leave the bookstore to find a private place to talk, Fu Qian decisively chose to send everyone away.

“You’re back so soon. Did your operation yield any results?”

“You could say that.”

Yuan Shan sighed, but there was no joy of accomplishment on her face.

“You were right, the Gulad Family had a reason for their little antics with Gan Zuoxun.”

“My people found out that not long before the news of Gan Zuoxun’s suspected mental influence came out, this new city official had rejected a proposal.”

“And the proposal was about a business deal of the Gulad Family in the Shangjing area, supposedly very profitable.”

“What business?”

“…’Clear Dream Ring’.”

“What… that name sounds like it could be a sex toy?”

Fu Qian frowned slightly, not hiding his wild imagination.

“You’re not wrong to say that…”

Trusty old Auntie Chief Yuan mentioned such matters as casually as eating beans, with no embarrassment whatsoever.

“Only it’s not ordinary sex toys, it’s a drug with a mild Transcendent effect.”

“Ordinary people could take it too, and the effect significantly enhances male capability.”

“You might not know, but the review for Transcendent drugs is extremely strict, and the sale permits for different regions aren’t even interchangeable, so city officials have huge influence in this area.”

“I’ve heard about things like Dunis’ ‘Mercury Storm’.”

Listening to Yuan Shan’s description, Fu Qian responded naturally.

“Right… like ‘Mercury Storm’.”

The example casually mentioned by Fu Qian seemingly struck a nerve with Yuan Shan.

Giving Fu Qian a somewhat stiff glance, she eventually nodded, acknowledging his point.

Understanding her reaction, Fu Qian of course had a good grasp of the situation.

Considering the events that had unfolded in Dunis, Yuan Shan, having received a plea for help from there, couldn’t help but be sensitive to related information, even if she couldn’t confirm any connection to herself.

And as one who advocates for the joy of helping others, Fu Qian didn’t mind offering her a hand to extricate herself from the sensitivity.
