Songshan felt wronged. What would be the first thing he would look at if not the face? Did he have to look at her figure? Isn’t that even more impolite?
“Then what should I watch?”
“Temperament, vibe.” Song Jinyan rubbed his chin. He had an indescribable feeling when he thought about the first impression Su Wen and Fifth Sister gave him. He just felt that these two little girls were not bad. They were good ladies.
He would subconsciously want to protect them.
Songshan was dumbfounded.
Boss’s words were too surreal. He couldn’t feel it.
“If I had known that these two girls were not bad, I would have personally appeared. That way, that brat from the Feng family would not have the chance to s.n.a.t.c.h them away from under my nose.”
Songshan remembered that Su Jun was Professor Su’s daughter, so he agreed with his boss.
Su Jun had that value and was worthy of attention.
“Right, arrange for someone to go to the Clear Water County. The sooner the better.” Song Jinyan suddenly changed the topic, and even his expression became much colder.
“Alright, we can set off tomorrow.”
“Remember to find out something for me. You have to be meticulous and not miss any details. If you find anything, report to me immediately.”
“I understand. Don’t worry!” Songshan nodded seriously. He asked, “Oh right, Boss, do you know something?”
Song Jinyan’s pupils constricted instantly. He said, “I do know something, but there are still some things that I don’t understand, so I need more evidence.” What puzzled him the most was Professor Su’s att.i.tude and thoughts back then.
Moreover, he suspected that Professor Su must have been an insider. He must have grasped Second Uncle’s weakness.
What could it be?
Professor Su must have known something, but why didn’t he say it? Why didn’t he choose the most beneficial way to deal with it?
Was it for the reason he guessed?
At the thought of his shocking and unbelievable guess, Song Jinyan’s usually calm and strong heart couldn’t take it for a moment, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Today, the largest bookstores in the Capital were busy from the moment they opened. It was not to welcome customers, nor was it to stock a best-selling book. Instead, it was to remove the display of the prose that had just been officially released yesterday.
Previously, because the higher-ups had informed them, the manager did not dare to put it off and gave all the best spots in the shop to the new prose.
The largest shelf, the best location, and an entire row of display s.p.a.ces that other book suppliers could not buy with money.
However, he had just worked overtime for half a day yesterday to get the display s.p.a.ce ready. Today, he had to take it off the shelves in a hurry. Although the shop a.s.sistant was puzzled, it was not strange. Many people supported this.
They had spent a lot of effort to promote the prose that had been put on the shelves yesterday, but it still did not sell well.
Not many readers bought it. Who would still read prose in this era?
Interesting and many meaningful things were plenty and one could apply what one has learned by looking at it more. At the very least, there were novels and martial arts novels. There was really no market for prose.
The new prose had occupied such a good spot, and all the staff had pushed it hard, but it had not met their expectations. They could not compare to the previous best-selling “sc.u.mbag’s handbook” at all.
It had been a few months since the “sc.u.mbag’s handbook” was released, but there were still many people who bought it. There was no need to recommend readers and directly ask if they wanted to buy it. For some reason, the books had been taken off the shelves this time, but many people were still asking about them yesterday.
Such a situation did not only appear in one bookstore but in many bookstores.
In the morning, Song Zishan, Lu Jianan, and a few other followers had agreed to go to the bookstore together. Everyone knew that they were going to the bookstore to support the little princess of the Song family.
Before they came, everyone had discussed in private how many books each person would buy. They were not allowed to be different.
