When the first snowflake fell from the sky, Lin Jie had already set up his bookstore.
The invitation mentioned that the large scale banquet would last for a whole three days with food and accommodation all covered by the host Ji Bonong.
Lin Jie had inquired Ji Zhixiu about relevant information about the banquet. Just the guests alone numbered more than a thousand. According to her description, guests included all sorts of notable members of society, and perhaps even powerful figures of Norzin"s Central District would make an appearance.
No ordinary feating and accommodations could suffice, so it wasn"t too difficult to imagine the extravagance of this banquet. But given that Ji Bonong was the top figure of Rolle Resource Development, such an elaborate approach to a party was totally normal.
Lin Jie felt that he had gotten this invitation based on his own ability (doling out chicken soup) and thus he couldn"t let go of this chance to freeload for three whole days.

“The books on the shelf are cla.s.sified accordingly. From left to right, philosophy, religion, military, economics, culture, sciences, arts, astronomy…”
The original bookshelf that had the ability to be refreshed with a single thought could only be used by Lin Jie.
Thus, for now, Lin Jie sorted them all into these categories temporarily, putting appropriate books so that it would be easy for Mu’en to find and sell.
Lin Jie usually refreshed the shelf after completely reading each batch. Fortunately, he hadn’t refreshed the books for some time, so Mu’en who often cleaned the bookshelves would find them familiar and know what she was selling.
“If someone is looking to buy, charge the list price, no bargains.
“Don’t accept any bargaining!” Lin Jie emphasized this point. Then pointing to another bookshel…
