  Chapter 36 Cooperation

  It was not too late, and the streets were bustling with people coming and going.

  Xin You got into the carriage and went straight to Qingsong Bookstore.

  In the carriage, Xiao Lian asked in a low voice: "Miss, will the old lady really give you money to buy Qingsong Bookstore?"

  Xin You smiled: "Out of this door, she has to buy it for me."

  Xiao Lian couldn't figure it out, but she felt more at ease, and worried about another problem: "If the price can't be negotiated, why won't the owner of Qingsong Bookstore sell it?"

  The smile on Xinyou's lips deepened: "As long as the other party is willing to make a move, there is no price that cannot be negotiated. If you don't want to sell at all, there will always be shops that are not well run in the big capital, and Qingsong Bookstore is not the only way to go."

  Xiao Lian breathed a sigh of relief: "The servant girl can rest assured."

  Xin You whispered a few words, Xiaolian endured the shock and kept nodding.

   While speaking, Qingsong Bookstore arrived.

  Xin You got out of the carriage, and her first glance was not at Qingsong Bookstore, but at the opposite side.

  There are no longer crowds in front of Yaxin Bookstore. You can see the store door is wide open, and customers come in and out from time to time.

  Looking at Qingsong Bookstore again, it is still empty, the shopkeeper and the staff are bored and staring at each other.

   "Hey, you're here again, girl." Seeing Xin You, the guy was both surprised and enthusiastic.

  The shopkeeper secretly glanced at the steward who was following Xin You, guessing the purpose of this girl who knew Mr. He visiting twice in the same day.

  Xin You turned sideways: "This is Steward Duan from the Shaoqing Mansion, and he came to talk with me."

   "Steward Duan." The shopkeeper cupped his hands.

  The butler bowed his hand in return.

  The shopkeeper hesitated between Xin You and the housekeeper, and asked Xin You: "I wonder what the girl is here to talk about?"

   "I came to visit the bookstore this morning, and heard from the shopkeeper that your owner intends to sell the bookstore. I just happened to have plans to open the bookstore. I went back and asked my elders for instructions. The elders asked the steward to accompany me to ask."

  The shopkeeper was taken aback: "Girl want to open a bookstore?"

  Xin You nodded: "Yes."

   "Opening a bookstore is not an easy task—" the shopkeeper suddenly realized that he shouldn't have said this, and hurriedly stopped.

   "It's not easy. But I have my grandmother's support. If I really want to sell the bookstore, don't I have experienced help from you, the shopkeeper?"

  The shopkeeper froze for a moment.

  What does this girl mean, if the Qingsong Bookstore is bought, these people in the bookstore will not have to find another way out?

  The shopkeeper's heart beat twice violently.

  Since the old owner fell ill and the young owner took over, the bookstore began to decline. After Mr. Pingan switched to Yaxin Bookstore, he even reached a loss situation.

  The young owner’s thoughts were not on the bookstore either. After the old owner died of illness, he only wanted to live a relaxed life, and he had long intended to sell Qingsong Bookstore.

  However, the opposite bookstore is very beautiful, no one wants to take over the mess of Qingsong Bookstore, or they just want to take advantage of the opportunity to pick up a bargain, and the money they pay is not enough to buy the house attached to the bookstore.

  The shopkeeper has feelings for the bookstore, and he also has feelings for the old guys who have worked with him for many years. If the new owner is willing to take over the whole thing, he is very willing.

  The shopkeeper can't believe it, it's still a little girl who wants to run the bookstore, but it seems that it's okay to hear from the other party that there are elders in the family to support it?

  Maybe the little girl thinks it's fun, and when the freshness wears off, the family will take care of it.

   "Our boss is not here, just wait a moment, I'll ask the guy to ask for it."

"Not urgent."

  The shopkeeper ordered the buddy to call for someone.

  Waiting process In order to avoid silence, the shopkeeper chatted with Xin You, and found that Xin You didn't want to chat more, so he chatted with the housekeeper.

  The housekeeper was suddenly ordered to go out with the cousin girl, and he was in a fog, so he was happy to understand the situation with the shopkeeper, so he didn't notice that Xiaolian went out quietly after the waiter left.

   "Brother, where is your boss?"

   The man was a little surprised by the little maid who was chasing up: "Why did my sister come out?"

   "Our girl has an explanation. Before your boss meets our girl, let me have a few words with your boss first."

   The guy was even more puzzled.

  Xiao Lian skillfully stuffed a piece of silver to the buddy: "Brother, do me a favor, just say a few words."

   "That's fine. What's your sister's name?"

   "My name is Xiaolian. What's your name?"

   "Sister Xiaolian calls me Liu Zhou."

   "Liu Zhou, did your boss mention how much the bookstore is worth?"

  The buddy became vigilant: "How can I, a little buddy, know this?"

   "Then... is your boss friendly? Is it easy to talk?"

  The buddy wiped off his sweat, thinking that this little maid can really speak.

   Fortunately, the place she was going to was not far away, and soon Xiao Lian met the owner of Qingsong Bookstore.

  It was a young man in his twenties, dressed in plain clothes, with a handsome appearance and a somewhat loose temperament.

   Hearing what the buddy said, the young man looked at Xiaolian.

  Xiao Lian saluted.

   "Your girl wants to buy a bookstore?"

"yes."

  Youth is very direct: "Are you rich?"

  The buddy secretly rolled his eyes.

  The Young Master’s family really doesn’t miss the bookstore at all. It’s so obvious that they won’t be savagely bargained down later.

   "Our girl sincerely wants to buy it. I wonder how much the owner plans to sell it for?"

  The young man frowned, obviously feeling that there was no need to talk about this with a little maid.

  Xiao Lian hurriedly said: "Our girl wants to buy a bookstore, and it took a long time for the elders to agree. The person who accompanied the girl today is the manager of the house. The girl is afraid that the talk will not be good, so I sent the servant girl to talk to the owner first."

  The buddy twitched the corner of his mouth.

   It can be seen that this girl who wants to buy a bookstore also doesn't know how to hide her thoughts. It's not obvious that she tells the seller that she really wants to buy it.

  Looking at Shaodong's house, and then at Xiaolian, the guy suddenly calmed down: there are clubs on both sides, it's even.

  Hearing what Xiaolian said, the young man said calmly: "Eight thousand taels, if there is less, I won't sell it."

  Xiao Lian doesn’t know whether the price of the bookstore is expensive or cheap, but she doesn’t need to understand, just follow the girl’s instructions.

   "Eight thousand taels is not enough."

  The young man stopped in his tracks, with an impatient look on his face: "If you think it's expensive, then there's no need to waste each other's time."

  He knew that there were not many people who bought it sincerely, and some people thought of five thousand taels to buy it before. No matter how much he wanted to get rid of the burden of losing money, he couldn't sell it.

  Seeing the young man turned around to leave, Xiao Lian hurriedly stopped him: "Master, listen to the servant girl first."

"you say."

  Xiao Lian stretched out two fingers.

  The young man suddenly changed his face: "Two thousand taels? Are you girls making fun of me?"

   "My boss misunderstood, it's not two thousand taels, it's twenty thousand taels."

  The young man was stunned, and couldn't help but go to see the buddy.

   Did you hear me wrong?

  The stunned look of the guy made him realize that he had heard correctly, and he frowned and stared at Xiao Lian.

  Xiao Lian finished her sentence without changing her face: "When you meet my girl, you will ask for 20,000 taels, and she will buy it. You will keep 10,000 taels later, and the other 10,000 taels will be returned to our girl."

  The buddy's eyes straightened when he heard this.

  He has never seen anyone earn the price difference like this!

   "What do you think?"

  The youth frowned even tighter.

  Of course he would be happy to earn two thousand taels more for nothing, but the people in Shaoqing's mansion are not fools, he agreed to buy it when he said twenty thousand taels?

  Hearing the young man's doubts, Xiao Lian's tone was firm: "If our girl wants to buy it, she will definitely be able to buy it. It just depends on whether the owner is willing to cooperate."

  The young man was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Deal."
