Chapter 6, Ximen, "Too Great Joy"

Oh! It looks more like it! Teacher Chen, that's the one.

However, Wang Yu opened the book and said with a smile, "Publishers, sometimes it's just like that; this one is 'The Passionate Swordsman and the Heartless Sword'"

If it is really closed, then I will take the book home

Hello, waiter, I would like to buy a book, but I can't find it at the moment

Wang Yu took a book from the bookshelf, and indeed it was by Gu Long, but the title was "The First Blade of Wind and Cloud"

Too much joy

Wang Yu helped Yu Zili take over the position, and to be honest, he felt somewhat sorry for Yu Zili

Old Wang, I am prepared

Wang Yu roughly guessed that it was about this matter, and moreover, Teacher Chen had previously given the two of them a day to prepare, which was essentially to allow them to go back and thoroughly review "The Passionate Swordsman and the Heartless Sword"

You are simply deceiving people, and I do not believe it

At this point in Wang Yu's speech, Yu Zili felt a stir in his heart

Is there? Ah, this... Wang Yu seems to have thought of something.

By this point, the two had become friends, sharing a mutual affinity. They chatted and laughed together.

Now, it seems that a meal is worth more than a beautiful woman

Such a minor episode, Wang Yu did not elaborate further and straightforwardly provided a review to Old Yu

The situation at Ximen Bookstore is similar; one can discern clues from the uniform of the staff. This apron must have been provided for free as part of a promotional event by a seasoning company. In terms of cost, it likely only includes the three characters for 'staff,' which may not even be printed but rather painted on with a stencil.

What happened? Yu Zili asked again

Oh, it's still a yellow chicken, and there are three characters below the chicken, madam... Wait a minute, that's not right

As the two read this novel, Yu Zili also mentioned some other things, such as why he chose a store that was about to close its doors

She is truly a beauty, exceptionally beautiful, and of a very pure kind

"The First Blade of Wind and Cloud" is actually a former title of "The Wandering Son of the Border Town"

This is just a minor complaint, "This 'point' was probably deducted by you, kid."

Understood

Ximen Bookstore, I do not know why it was given such a name, perhaps it is because Fengtai is located to the west of the capital.

This first chapter describes how Li Xunhuan returned from beyond the pass and encountered A Fei on a snowy night, leading to their friendship.

Well, the current Wang Yu is just 'the waiter chicken is too big and happy'

Fortunately, it does not hinder others from conducting business now. Wang Yu and Yu Zili bid farewell to Teacher Chen. So, should these two young men also say their goodbyes

Fortunately, he did not forget the important matters, but soon strange events occurred again

Attending university, the tuition fees these days are quite substantial

Ah, goodbye, Teacher Chen

Wang Yugang wanted to speak, but Yu Zili smiled and interjected, "Well, Old Wang, could you help a brother out of class solidarity?"

Alas? Old Wang, why is it that we do not have this book in our bookstore

The character traits are very much like those found in martial arts novels. By the way, there is a character named Sun Tuozi in "The Sentimental Swordsman, Ruthless Sword" who is just like this. It's not just him, there are also ... ...

She took off her down jacket, then took the 'uniform' and put it on her own body

Old Yu does not admit it, yet he has a lewd smile on his face

"How can I help you?" Can Wang Yu still say no? The two of them will have to share the same trench in the future.

The voice was very pleasant. As soon as Wang Yu turned around, the waiter, Comrade Ji Tai Da Le, was completely taken aback.

The two people could not help but laugh again at this point, clearly indicating that this was purely a nonsensical situation

What?

This ... ... '' Old Yu is confused, and then Wang Yu's actions make him even more confused

Wang Yu and Yu Zili stood in front of the shelf of martial arts novels in the bookstore, where there were works by Master Jin, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, and Wo Longsheng, among many other books, but this particular book "The Passionate Swordsman and the Heartless Sword" was nowhere to be found

Have integrity, do not owe anyone a favor

... ...

The restaurant emphasizes a certain turnover rate, and today this 'rate' has been disrupted by the three of them

Upon seeing this, Wang Yu could not help but marvel at the profound depth of our Chinese characters. Clearly missing a 'dot', yet inexplicably feeling that there is so much more.

I truly lost track of time while chatting

Faced with such a situation with Old Wang, Old Yu gritted his teeth, slapped his thigh with a loud sound, and assumed a posture as if he was about to unleash a powerful move

Thus, when wearing this uniform, it is like this

How could I, Old Yu, be that kind of person

At this moment, the two seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, and thus refrained from saying more

Old Wang, this is the place where I am temporarily working. I won't hide it from you, I am poor, so I found a job at a bookstore. It's quite good since I can read books here

Yu Zili was very pleased to hear this, and he said: "Just now in front of Teacher Chen, you should have noticed that I have not read this novel by Gu Long, I have only seen the film and television adaptations. You have read it, so could you please explain it to me in detail?"

You don't believe it? Then why not give it a try, she might just come.

Such a store might close down and run away any day now

While thinking about this, Wang Yu did not notice that another person had entered the store

Wang Yu wanted to tease him, "Aren't you asking for too much, kid?"

No, you have crafted this story quite well in order to have me take your place; I believe you could replace Teacher Chen as the gold medal screenwriter.

Whenever tuition fees are mentioned, I cannot help but think of myself... This original owner, in order to graduate from university, needs to pay 40,000 yuan. Do not doubt it, this is the current price at Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama. At present, the national income is not high, with the average salary in the capital being only 1,000 yuan. Given this tuition fee, it is not just Wang Yu from the drama class; even many stars who later became prominent recall their school days, and most of them had to work part-time. The pressure is indeed immense

Forget it

Yu Zili couldn't help but laugh several times at his appearance. Under Wang Yu's bewildered gaze and the imminent threat of action, this fellow finally ran out through the back door of the bookstore

When Yu Zili spoke these words, he felt somewhat embarrassed; he certainly did not know what Wang Yu was thinking.

Ah?

Yu Zili looked at Wang Yu's expression and smiled softly, saying, "I chose it on purpose"

Not helping, yet not giving me a salary

A little less 'point'.

What if the salary is not paid

This store, I once saw a beautiful woman, the kind that is exceptionally beautiful, and particularly pure.

No problem, but we need to have a book. Shall we go buy one together

chicken

The issue with the book title is entirely due to the oversight of our mainland publishing house. It is important to note that this is still a legitimate publishing house. Interestingly, the titles of previously pirated books were correct.

Waiter

Upon seeing this, Wang Yu could no longer contain the smile on his face

Could you please help me

Wang Yu followed Yu Zili into the store. This bookstore was quite spacious, but after the shift change, he was the only employee. As for the work uniform, it was even simpler—a green apron with the word 'Waiter' printed on it, which seemed to have been added later, but below it, there was also an image of a chicken

To be honest, this old Yu is really stingy. If he were just a little more generous and said that he would treat us to dinner tonight, Wang Yu would definitely take over this position immediately.

Then, let's go back

However, Yu Zili's face was somewhat flushed

This knowledge was quite valuable in the late 1990s, which is its own advantage

Wang Yu realized that this guy's pockets were cleaner than his face, but he had to be honest himself, "I really don't have this book on hand right now"

Oh! Really? Haha... Old Yu was extremely happy, "Thanks to you, Old Wang!"

Sigh? Why do I feel like we are quite similar?

Old Wang, could you help me check if the store is open? I am going to take a look at this book

Just looking at a store is not tiring at all

Wang Yu had actually long intended to help him, but he held back his grievances and felt displeased. As for this beautiful woman, he truly did not take her to heart

At this moment, Yu Zili did not know what Wang Yu was thinking, but he proposed his own method

In this day and age, it is difficult to thrive in bookstores; state-owned ones are guaranteed to be profitable, but private ones face many challenges, with quite a few even relying on selling pirated books to make a living

We will officially start working the day after tomorrow, do you understand what I mean

This hardly qualifies as a condition; to adapt this novel, one must first have a copy, right

Oh?

Upon arriving here, Wang Yu contemplated certain matters, particularly that at this present time, much knowledge is indeed not as accessible as it would be in later generations. In the future, the level of internet penetration in Huaxia will be exceedingly high, and the direct benefit of this will be that everyone can conveniently acquire knowledge, most of which is free

She is quite flirtatious

Indeed, he is a time traveler, and I saw this later on the internet. It is evident that Yu Zili intends to borrow books from him

However, no matter how clearly others explain a book, it is not as good as seeing it for oneself

I believe the best-written part of this book is the first chapter

Therefore, the original owner sold the house and gave the money to his sister's family

I too find myself without a foothold in this capital city

Wang Yu, adhering to the principle of not revealing his tendency to be overly critical, refrained from speaking much

class sentiment

Beside Li Xunhuan stood a strong man named Tie Chuanjia

Old Yu might be even more unfortunate than himself. When I casually asked him where he was from, Old Yu simply said he was from a small place

It was already afternoon when we exited the hot pot restaurant, and the originally enthusiastic waiter rolled his eyes.

Wang Yu was amused, and rightly so; they had only just met. Previously, the atmosphere at the dining table had been quite harmonious, yet there was not much of a friendship between them. It was evident that both were similarly impoverished, which fostered a sense of class solidarity.

Too much joy

It turns out this fellow has such a scheme in mind, Wang Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this, and Old Yu laughed along.

What has Old Yu prepared

This matter, from another perspective, is indeed admirable

Old Wang, let me tell you, there is another reason why I am working in this store

What does Old Wang intend to do

In response, Wang Yu chuckled and said, "If it weren't for me, Old Wang, you would probably be in trouble this time."

Wang Yu followed Yu Zili to this bookstore; upon seeing the name, he actually thought of a grape trellis
