Little Bosses and Little Monsters

The woman took off her sunglasses after entering the room, and then inspected the study critically. During this period, her mobile phone rang several times, and she glanced over it with a helpless expression on her face.

"Are you really the boss? So young."

Shu Jing smiled: "If you look young, you can't open a bookstore? I've never heard of such a rule."

"Well, I came to you because I want to ask you for something. Of course, it's not for nothing, the price is negotiable."

"The shop only has books. I wonder what exactly you want, Ma'am?"

"I don't know what it is either."

Xu Ran let out a "poof": "What the hell, big sister, are you here looking for trouble?"

I don't know if it was a long wait for a reply, but the woman's cell phone rang like a reminder.

"Hey, wait a little longer!"

"Oh, I know, I'm not here!"

"Then what can I do?! I said that your friend is unreliable. What kind of bookstore owner doesn't seem convincing at all. I can't even name him. How do you tell me to find him?!"

"What? No! You are not allowed to come, have you heard that, just stay here!"

I don't know what was said on the other side, but the woman's attitude suddenly softened: "Oh, I know, don't worry!"

After hanging up the phone, the woman looked at Shu Jing helplessly: "That's right, although it's a bit inexplicable, but I have to ask, do you have anything that can make people not afraid of water?"

"Aren't you afraid of water?" Xu Ran was extremely speechless to this question: "What?! Landlubbers just go learn to swim, what is something that makes people not afraid of water! You should go buy a swimming ring, why come to the bookstore to make trouble? "

The woman showed embarrassment, obviously also very embarrassed by her question.

Shu Jing turned to ask another question: "Who taught you to come to me?"

"It's a friend. He said that he can find a solution for you."

But that friend seemed to be very unreliable. The woman now deeply suspected that they were being tricked at all, and at the same time felt that she must have been shot in the head before agreeing to come here.

"I'm sorry, just pretend I haven't been here and interrupt you." The woman turned her head and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Shu Jing stopped the other party: "Excuse me, who needs it? Listen to what you just said, it's not a lady, you can use it yourself."

Xu Ran looked at him in astonishment: "I'm sure! You really have it?!"

Seeing hope, the woman said excitedly: "It's really not what I need. Boss, can you really help us?"

"If someone introduced you, I can probably guess who it is. His friend, I should do a little favor. But, I have to see the Lord, please let the person who needs it come by himself .”

The woman's excited expression froze, and suspicion appeared in her eyes again: "This...can you talk to me about it? It's inconvenient for him. If you are worried about the price, we can do whatever you want."

When Xu Ran heard Qian Li's eyes lit up, he rushed forward with big strides, stretched out five fingers and said brazenly, "500 million!"

Both Shu Jing and the woman showed expressions of "Are you crazy?"

The woman gritted her teeth in embarrassment: "You are taking advantage of others too much."

"What poison have you been poisoned by?" Shu Jing looked at Xu Ran seriously.

Xu Ran's face was full of resentment: "Oh, what a great opportunity, with your small shop, and your habit of ignoring, how many years can you last?! This time, you can eat for ten years after opening this time. Well, we can buy some good ones when we eat in the future!"

Xu Ran was about to cry as he spoke, as if he could already see lobster, abalone, and bear's paw bird's nest.

"Aren't you impervious to being poor and humble, and never bow to these vulgar things?"

Xu Ran shamelessly said: "That's my master, I'm still a rudimentary person, why don't I be here with you?"

Shu Jing didn't want to talk to him, and gave him the back of his head.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't want money. Helping you is a favor, but that thing is something that ordinary people can use casually. I have to meet the other party to confirm it before I agree to you."

"This... well, I will come again, but you must keep this matter a secret! You can't tell us about us, let alone reveal our identities!"

Xu Ran, who watched the garlic lobster grow wings and fly away, was in a bad mood, just like every time Tian Wang scolded him, ready to show his teeth at any time: "Look at you! You think you are the president of the country! "

He looked at the woman glaring at him, and was stunned for a moment: "Hey, why do I think you look familiar?"

The woman looked at him nervously.

"Where have I seen you? Are you a Weibo celebrity?"

Perhaps because she was afraid that Xu Ran would recognize something if she stayed any longer, the woman put on her sunglasses, said goodbye and left in a panic.

"I'll go first, boss, I'll contact you next time."

It wasn't until the moment the woman rushed out the door that Xu Ran clapped his hands: "I just remembered! She is Wen Pei!"

Xu Ran chased him out, but Wen Pei was nowhere to be found.

He ran wildly suddenly, which made Tianwang excited, and chased him out barking.

"Tianwang!"

Shu Jing followed out: "Who is Wen Pei?"

Xu Ran beat his chest and stamped his feet: "Wen Pei! Di Jiang's manager!!! I'm so freaked out that I didn't recognize him just now!"

Tian Wang pricked up his ears, Xu Ran changed his words: "I beeped myself, let's do it."

"Di Jiang? That star you like?" Shu Jing tried hard to recall.He wasn't interested in the three-dimensional element at first, and he didn't even have a TV at home, but Xu Ran's backpack was covered with Di Jiang's pins, and he kept picking it up every day——

"The new song sung by Di Jiang is at the top of the list again this week."

"Dijiang has a new photoshoot."

"Dijiang was holding a concert two days ago."

"Dijiang BLABLALBA..."

But he had to pretend to be casual and mention it casually, and the result was that even Shu Jing, a good-for-nothing homeboy out of touch with the world, knew Di Jiang's weekly schedule like the palm of his hand.

At the beginning, Shu Jing hadn't figured out the awkward psychology of Mensao fans, but when he heard him keep mentioning this celebrity, he naturally asked, "Do you like Di Jiang very much?"

As a result, Xu Ran immediately responded fiercely: "Of course not! I didn't like him! How could I do such a naive thing as star chasing? Besides, these are mortals, how can I be worthy of chasing them?"

"It's not as exaggerated as you said. What's wrong with ordinary people? Those stars can be loved by so many people, at least it shows that they have merit. Worship idols, absorb positive energy from outstanding people, and make yourself better. Can you say it's childish?"

Xu Ran clicked his tongue twice, and found some reports about brain-dead fans to show Shu Jing.

Shu Jing was dumbfounded by those people's desperate and crazy actions for their stars: "Unexpectedly, people chasing stars is like this now? It's really different from our time."

Xu Ran was puzzled: "When were you guys at that time?"

Shu Jing looked at most four or five years older than him, so it stands to reason that the two should be of the same age.

"Uh, no, it's just when I was a kid."

Xu Ran recalled those celebrities when he was a child, and felt that Shu Jing was really weird. It’s okay to not know about the entertainment industry, but it’s rare to not know a celebrity, but his memory still stays in the 90s, he is almost the same age People are broken.

Shu Jing brought the topic back to the beginning: "You don't like him, why do you keep mentioning him?"

Xu Ran immediately put aside the doubts just now, and curled his lips awkwardly: "No, he is so hot, and there are always people around him talking about him. Him, just chat casually."

Shu Jing smiled meaningfully, knowing that Xu Ran couldn't wipe it off, so he thoughtfully stopped mentioning it. After that, every time Xu Ran pretended to mention it inadvertently, he just smiled at Xu Ran's clearly indifferent tone, but was caught by his own words. The look betrayed by bright eyes.

Now that it was brought up again, Xu Ran subconsciously retorted: "It's not my favorite star!"

"Okay. That very popular star is always mentioned." Shu Jing glanced at Xu Ran pointingly, but Xu Ran's big nerves didn't feel at all, and said with satisfaction: "Yes, yes. Yeah, that's him."

Said with unconcealable excitement in his eyes.

In view of the fact that Xu's eating and drinking for free is too bad, Boss Shu, for the sake of fairness, ordered Xu Ran to come to eat every time, but he had to help Xiaohe buy vegetables.

Xu Ran carried the cloth bag that Shu Jing gave him, and shuttled through the vegetable market with ease.

"Sister, this radish is too juicy. Did you plant it yourself?"

"That's not."

"I said! Just like you, white and watery."

"Hahahahaha, why are you so good at talking, I'm old enough to be your mother. I haven't seen such a rare young man before!"

"Oh, I'm helping the bookstore in Yulin Lane, North Street, do you know that store?"

"Yulin Lane? That alley is remote. I don't remember there being a bookstore?"

"It's remote. The owner's surname is Shu. He may not go out often. You don't know, but every time there is a little girl in a red dress who comes to buy vegetables in their house. She has long hair and is about this tall. She looks pretty, do you remember?" Is it?" Xu Ran gestured in front of his chest.

The aunt who sold the vegetables frowned and recalled for a while, but still looked at a loss.

On the other hand, a woman at the stall next to her interjected: "You mean that little girl who doesn't talk much? She's quite young."

"Ah yes! Yes!"

"The little girl is not very old, but she doesn't look very lively. Every time she buys vegetables, she leaves without saying a word, and I have never seen her smile. Is she working for a bookstore at such a young age? Don't be Have you been abused by your parents?"

This is a big misunderstanding, her parents are probably older than you when they are ashes.Xu Ran hurriedly laughed to help Shu Jing get rid of the charges of employing child labor and child abuse.

"So, you are not familiar with the bookstore owner?"

"Haha, this is the first time I know of a bookstore, where can I get to know the boss?"

"That's it..." Xu Ran tightened his schoolbag belt, "Okay, thank you both, sister, can you weigh two radishes for me?"

"Hey, I'll give you the change, just give me five yuan."

"Come and put it away."

Xu Ran took the radish and turned around to leave. He stumbled behind his feet. He lowered his head and found a little girl squatting beside his feet at some point. She was very young, maybe three years old or not, curled up into a ball with almost no sense of existence.

"Hey, little sister, why are you here alone? Are you separated from your parents?"

Xu Ran knelt down and asked her.

The girl looked at him timidly, clutching the lace edge of the little skirt with her small hands.

"Don't be afraid, did your adults bring you here?"

The girl's eyes are surprisingly big, and the reflection of the world is printed on the two glass beads on her small face, which is not as big as a fist.

"Tiantian, why did you come here? I made my mother worry to death!"

Xu Ran stood up, and a woman ran towards her, hugged the girl into her arms, touched her up and down to make sure the girl was safe, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Xu Ran showed a kind smile, and wanted to explain a few words, but unexpectedly, the mother didn't even look at him, hugged her daughter tightly and strode away.

The little girl Tian Tian was hugged by her mother, and she was still looking at Xu Ran when she turned around. Xu Ran quickly grinned, and suddenly found that the girl's big eyes did not seem to be focusing on his face. He was staring at the radish he had just bought.

Xu Ran shrugged, turned his head and found that the vegetable sellers who were gossiping just now had already gone to their own business, and no one noticed what happened just now.

Everyone, happy Lantern Festival.

Have you eaten Lantern Festival yet?

I seem to be hurt by eating rice cakes during the Spring Festival, and I am not looking forward to it...?
