CHAPTER 12 A CLEAR POSITION

Looking at Yue'er with a smile, Li Ling suddenly smiled bitterly and reached out to squeeze her small nose gently: "Yue'er, you have something bad this time."

Li Yue'er hates her brother pinched her nose the most and was about to resist immediately, but after hearing this, he stopped and looked at her brother blankly. Li Ling then explained: "Don't you see that I'm slandering him? It's just to put more things out of this guy's mouth to help Boss Gu deal with them. But as soon as you come in, you disrupted your plan."

"Ah... I didn't expect it..." Yue'er lowered her head with some remorse after she came over, and the joy just now disappeared. Seeing this, Li Ling rubbed her hair again: "Okay, don't blame yourself too much. At least I heard something from his words, which is somewhat useful. I'll go to see Boss Gu now, you can just wait at home."

"Well, brother, we will definitely not lose, right?" Yue'er looked up at Li Ling with anticipation and said. The latter's Zheng pointed: "Of course, there's a brother here."

...

When Li Ling entered Gujia Bookstore, he found that the atmosphere in the store was not right. Whether it was the shopkeeper or several friends, they all looked worried. It was not until he walked up to him that the shopkeeper reacted and barely showed a professional smile and greeted: "Young Master Li is here, are you here to deliver the manuscript?"

"No, I have something to look for Boss Gu today. Can he be behind?"

"It's... it's here, but..." Before the shopkeeper could say anything, Li Ling had already stepped forward to the courtyard behind. During this period, his friendship with Gu Yuezi became deeper, and he saw that he became casual. The shopkeeper wanted to stop him, but Li Ling had already pushed the door into the backyard and rushed into the account room many times. As a result, before he got close, he heard a threatening voice from inside: "Boss Gu, I advise you to recognize the reality and resell the bookstore to my ten thousand families. The price we gave was already very high. As long as you nod, two thousand taels of silver can be delivered tomorrow, and there will be no default."

Then, Gu Yuezi's voice also sounded: "I said, this is a transaction created by my grandparents and grandchildren of the Gu family for several generations. I will never sell it to you! Don't worry about it! Don't say two thousand taels, just twenty thousand taels, and two hundred thousand taels are placed in front of me. If I, Gu Yuezi, hesitated for a moment, I would not be a man!"

The conversation inside froze, and the shopkeeper also came to Li Ling, smiled bitterly at him, and lowered his voice: "Young Master Li came unfortunately, and the boss is now entertaining guests."

It should be a bad guest. I didn't expect that Wan Family would come here to buy the entire Gu Family Bookstore. No wonder Wan Rong would finally say such threatening words to himself, but he shouldn't give in to Gu Yuezi's attitude.

After a while of silence, the talent said again: "Boss Gu, don't say some things too much. There is no inevitable thing in the business world. If you are not satisfied with the price, we can still talk about it again. If you feel that this is a transaction passed down by your ancestors, we will not be able to leave, and we will not force others to do anything. We still ask you to take charge of our daily affairs, but you must obey the orders of the general account. How about it? Boss Gu, we have given sincerity this time, don't ignore this cup of toast."

"Toast? It seems that there is a punishment for wine? I want to see what methods you can do!"

Seeing that he still refused to compromise, the man was a little annoyed and threatened: "If you really refuse to cooperate with us, then you will be the enemy of my Wanjia family. By then, we will not have any reservations. To be honest, we are not afraid to tell you. Our Wanjia Bookstore will next sell all kinds of books from our Wanzizhai to Jiangcheng County at a low price, and the price will be 80% or even 70% of your original price. In addition, we have also contacted the authors who provide you with special articles for you in Jiangcheng County and will let them write books for us at a better price. By then, your Gujia Bookstore will naturally have no chance to turn around.

"So I advise you to sell all the shops to us now, so that there will be a good result. Don't end up being betrayed by everyone. That would be too decent!"

The following words were really a bare-fruit threat. Even outside the house, Li Ling could hear Gu Yuezi's angry heavy breathing, obviously he was extremely angry. Speaking of which, he had been with Boss Gu for several months, but he had never seen him get angry. Even though he had last encountered him in the county government office, he just smiled bitterly and said a few words. Obviously, this time, the people from Wanjia completely angered him.

Not only Gu Yuezi inside, but also the old shopkeeper outside, he blushed at this time, and was full of anger. He even looked at Li Ling with suspicious eyes, thinking that he was here to show off with his boss.

Li Ling was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and pushed open the door of the house that had not been locked. He strode into the room and said, "You are wrong. Who said that the person who wrote the book would be the fence-bearer? I, Li Ling, will tell you here that I will not write even one word for your Wanjia!"

"Young Master Li..." Gu Yuezi was extremely angry and extremely chilled, and she was unable to vent her anger, but when she saw Li Ling suddenly breaking in, she was like a drowning man seeing a big piece of wood floating over, and immediately hugged her: "With your words, I have no regrets!"

"Are you?" Another person in the room changed his face and stared at Li Ling and asked. Li Ling also looked at this person, but he was three or four minutes alike, but he was older and more steady. Before he could tell his identity, Gu Yuezi had already said first: "This young master Li is the leading novelist in our Jiangcheng County, Xiaoyaozi, the author of the book "The Romance of the Gods"!" As he said that, he pointed to the man: "Wanjia Wanhua!"

When Li Ling heard the name, he showed a strange smile on his face. Why don’t you call Wanai? The other party seemed to see contempt in his eyes, and immediately snorted: "Is Xiaoyaozi? Didn’t he just write a few volumes of the gods? I really think he is amazing?" He immediately understood that his unscrupulous brother should not be able to persuade the author of the most popular novel in Jiangcheng County to turn against him.

"I'm not up to you, Wan family, has the final say. It's just like you have no right to use the ones I'm waiting to threaten Boss Gu." Li Ling immediately went back to the front.

Gu Yuezi really didn't expect Li Ling's words to be so sharp. The anger on his face finally turned into joy. He nodded and said, "Yes, Lao Gu has nothing else, he has that little ambition, so I advise you not to worry about that!" After pausing for a moment, he even issued a direct order to expel the guest: "It's easy to leave, I won't send you off."

Wan Ai looked at the two of them again, his face changed a few times, and finally he snorted coldly, got up and walked out. But when the person arrived at the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at the two of them and said, "Don't be too happy. Since the business is not done, don't blame me for taking action. Then you will know that what I said is not false. And..." He stared at Li Ling again, "I don't even keep a mere God in my eyes. Do you think you can write it?" After that, he shook his sleeves and left.

It was not until he left the courtyard that Gu Yuezi breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, he was still very nervous just now and was very consuming. Then, he clasped his fists and saluted Li Ling: "This time, Brother Li, you have helped me, otherwise..."

"No need to say that, Boss Gu, you and I are friends, and you have helped me a lot. Now I am just doing my best."

Gu Yuezi laughed and waved his hand again, "Since you said we are friends, don't call me so unfamiliar. What's the boss Gu, Mr. Li. From now on, I'll call you brother, just call me brother."

"This...is something wrong. After all, you are much older than me, you are a senior." Li Ling looked at the other party's vicissitudes of face, not Wuwei.

As soon as these words were said, not only Gu Yuezi, but also the old shopkeeper's face became strange, and after a moment, he couldn't help laughing. Gu Yuezi frowned: "How old do you think I am?"

"Uh... it's almost forty." Looking at his beard full of cheeks and wrinkles on his face, Li Ling reported a number, which was a little conservative conclusion.

"You... brother, I'm only twenty-five this year. Do you think I'm so old?" Gu Yuezi was about to collapse and asked loudly.

Now it was Li Ling's turn to be confused. He was only twenty-five in this way? How anxious he looked? He looked like he was in his forties and went out with him, saying that he was uncle and nephew or even father and son, no one would doubt it.

"Didn't I just look a little mature and have a beard? Isn't it just to look sophisticated and manage the bookstore well?" Gu Yuezi seemed very aggrieved at this time, but in return, the laughter of Li Ling and the old shopkeeper. They really didn't expect that the Gu Boss, who has always been mature and steady, would have such a performance.

After laughing for a while, Li Ling said, "Okay, Brother Gu, you guys are OK."

After joking about this, the three of them relaxed their originally tense emotions. Since their relationship was closer, Li Ling no longer had too many concerns and immediately got to the point: "Brother Gu, it seems that the Wanjia Bookstore's plan is really big. They are going to swallow the entire book market in Jiangcheng County in one bite."

"Yes, this is Wanjia's style of doing things in the shopping mall. He is domineering and likes to eat alone. In fact, in two years, Wanjia Bookstore had swallowed up the book markets in several other counties in Hengzhou Prefecture, and now they have set their minds on my Jiangcheng County."

Li Ling nodded: "This Wanjia Bookstore is so powerful that it can actually occupy all the book markets that are in the same place as the one in the palace?"

Gu Yuezi's expression became solemn: "The one that is amazing is not Wanjia Bookstore, but Wanjia. Why? Don't you know the name of Wanjia in Hengzhou?"
