Chapter 27 Lu Jiangting has a sense of crisis



When he thought of this possibility, Lu Jiangting felt a sense of crisis he had never felt before.

Because, in that small mountain village, there were few people better than him.

With me standing in front of her, how could she possibly fall in love with someone else?

It's different now. He is no match for Fu Huaiyi, and he knows it.

Lin Yuyao cooked rice with her newly bought stove and also simply stir-fried some vegetables.

Originally she only planned to buy a small coal stove, but Fu Huaiyi said it was too small and inconvenient for cooking, so he bought her a bigger one that could be used for cooking.

But in this way, kerosene consumption will be greater.

The little room was worth the ten bucks and had a little balcony, which was very convenient for those who cooked on a coal stove.

If it were in the house, the smell would be so strong.

Lin Yuyao simply made some food, took a shower and went to bed.

The next day, after a simple breakfast, she put on clean clothes and went to the bookstore.

On her first day at work, she seemed a little uneasy.

Zhou Jing smiled and guided her through the work she needed to do.

"You don't have to be nervous. Sister Fu is very easy to talk to."

"Sister Fu?"

"Yes, she's the owner of this bookstore."

"Then...then she and Fu Huaiyi..."

"You mean the guy who brought you here yesterday?"

Lin Yuyao nodded.

"It seems to be Sister Fu's younger brother, cousin?"

It turns out that she is his sister. I feel really embarrassed for introducing such a good job to myself.

He said he wanted to treat him to a meal to express his gratitude, but ended up eating three of his meals himself.

He also rushed to pay for those things.

Lin Yuyao silently kept a note of all the money she spent on him, hoping that she would have a chance to pay it back later.

"Thank you, Sister Zhou."

"You're welcome. Sister Fu asked me to guide you. It's also my job to help you get familiar with the work."

Lin Yuyao followed behind her and listened to her carefully.

"In fact, our job is very easy. You only need to do a few things. First, keep an eye on the customers who come into the store to prevent them from stealing books. Second, when customers need books, give them a brief introduction and answer their questions, such as what books will be available and when.

Third, when customers can’t find a book or can’t reach the books, you have to help them find it and help them get it. Fourth, when new books are put on the shelves, help them arrange the stock. Fifth, make sure the bookstore is clean and tidy. Some customers read a book and throw it away without putting it back. In this case, you have to pick up the books and put them away after the customer leaves. "

Lin Yuyao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll remember it."

Zhou Jing added: "It sounds simple, but it actually takes some effort. For example, if you want to answer customers' questions, you have to know the books in the bookstore very well. You also have to know where each book is. You have to remember all this as quickly as possible, otherwise you can't be unable to find a book when a customer needs it."

"Yes, I understand. Sister Zhou, I will remember it as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll get busy now. Come back to me if you need anything."

"OK."

Zhou Jing went to stock up on goods, glancing at Lin Yuyao from time to time.

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw her holding the book so carefully.

But on second thought, she could understand.

Girls from the country are all like this at first.

Some timid ones are so nervous that they can't speak clearly and dare not touch anything. They are no better than her.

It was a quiet time during working hours and there were few people in the bookstore.

Lin Yuyao tried hard to remember the locations of various books.

Zhou Jing and another colleague Liu Yihan were reading some youth novels.

Zhou Jing told her that they were like this most of the time and had a lot of free time.

Generally, there are more people after get off work, after school, and on weekends.

Also, the owner of this bookstore, Fu Leyi, doesn't come here often. She only comes when there are a lot of goods.

She was lucky that day.

After hearing this, Lin Yuyao said, "No wonder, I haven't seen Sister Fu these past few days."

Zhou Jing said, "The Fu family is very wealthy. Sister Fu's parents are both businessmen and even opened a factory on Lingxiang Street. She opened this bookstore just for fun."

It sounds so enviable.

"Hey, this book is quite interesting, would you like to read it?"

Lin Yuyao glanced at it casually and it seemed to be a sweet love novel.

"Hey, why is it in traditional Chinese?"

Zhou Jing smiled and said, "The author is from Taiwan. There are simplified Chinese versions, but I feel more comfortable reading the traditional Chinese version."

“I don’t recognize some of the words.”

"There is no such thing as guessing."

Lin Yuyao: “…”Okay, I’ll just guess.

It was a little difficult to read at first, but after a few guesses, I slowly got into it.

Fu Huaiyi came over on the weekend and the bookstore was busy.

She took some time to run over and said, "I'm afraid it won't work today. Look, there are so many people here, and I just got here. It's not easy to ask for leave."

"Okay, I get it. I just came to tell you that Lao Zhou is not here recently. He is on vacation. I'm afraid your matter will have to be postponed."

Lin Yuyao was stunned.

"How long will it take you to come back?"

"He has been working here for more than ten years and has one month of family leave every year. He has only been gone for a few days and will probably be back in twenty days at the earliest."

Twenty days.

She has found a job now and can wait for twenty days, but... she is worried that Lu Jiangting will come to harass her at night.

"Brother Fu, can I ask you for another favor?"

She raised her head, her eyes were dark, clear, and as clean as a deer's pupils.

Her hands were nervously grasping her pants, looking so cautious. Which man could refuse?

Fu Huaiyi swallowed his saliva and said hoarsely, "You say."

"Is there any way to prevent him from coming to see me at night?"

He had already solved this problem for her, otherwise how could she have peace of mind these nights?

"Well, he's been very busy recently, and Lu Jiangting probably doesn't have the energy to look for you."

Lin Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you."

Zhou Jing was calling her from the opposite side.

She looked embarrassed, "Brother Fu, I...I..."

Fu Huaiyi smiled and said, "Go quickly, I have something else to do. I'll just take two books and leave."

"Okay, Brother Fu, thank you."

She quickly ran towards Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing handed her a printing book and said, "A few pages of this book have been printed off. Please register it and return it to the printing factory."

"good."

When she went to register, Liu Yihuan came over.

"Hey, Xiaolin, what's your relationship with Sister Fu's brother?"

"Ah? It doesn't matter. He...he is a fellow villager of mine...a classmate."

She didn't know how to introduce him. She didn't admit that Lu Jiangting was her man, so he could only be a fellow villager.

Is Fu Huaiyi considered Lu Jiangting's friend?

Fu Huaiyi said that they were friends before, but he couldn't stand his shameless behavior, and then they were no longer friends.

So let’s just say we are classmates.

Lin Yuyao was very busy on the weekend. She was busy all day, and Fu Huaiyi sat in the cafe opposite all day.

He said he had something to do and left, but that was just an excuse.

I took two books and drank coffee made with malted milk and sat there for the whole day.
