The leisurely life of rebirth

When we arrived at the bookstore, it was already 09:30.

yo ho,

There is actually a row of flower baskets at the door.

Zhou You didn't buy it himself, and he didn't plan to buy it. He planned to have the lowest-key opening in history.

As a result, someone actually sent a flower basket.

Looking at the red ribbons on the flower basket, there is one for Zhao Yun and one for Yu Hua.

The rest all belong to Sun Caixia, some in the name of the company and some in her personal name.

Seeing Zhou You coming, Sun Caixia strode over: "Brother, you are too low-key. Fortunately, I sent a few flower baskets, otherwise it would be a bit shabby."

"Low-key, low-key, the owner of the bookstore is just a leisurely person." Zhou You felt a little guilty.

"No wonder, I'm still thinking, if so many celebrities send flower baskets, it will be a wave of traffic." Sun Caixia also knows the power of Zhouyou in the entertainment industry, and through Lao Deng, she learned more about Zhouyou.

Only then did I realize that my brother, with his accurate vision, could actually make money from the entertainment industry.

"Brother, who is this Yu Hua? I know Zhao Yun. We had dinner together last time and we met several times during the decoration." Sun Caixia was a little curious. There were only three sources for the flower basket.

"Oh, has Sister Sun watched "Alive"? And "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood"?" Zhou You reminded.

Although Sun Caixia does not work, she is still a college graduate. She only reads less after graduation, but her basic foundation is still there.

After thinking about it carefully: "When I was in school, I seemed to have learned about Fugui, right?"

Zhou You also laughed. Where is his background? No matter how bad he is, how bad can he be.

Nodding with a smile.

Sun Caixia said excitedly: "Is this author still alive? I thought everyone who teaches textbooks is dead?"

Wang Yumei stood nearby and couldn't help laughing.

"Sister Sun, he's not dead yet. You're not the first to say this. Everyone thought he was gone."

Zhou You also laughed: "Yu Hua, a writer who claims to live by "Alive"."

Sun Caixia was dumbfounded by the laughter of the two of them. They were so familiar with each other, yet they could still be successful. She then said excitedly: "Brother, do you know anyone in the cultural circle?"

Zhou You was stunned by Sister Sun's brain circuit.

If you are so concerned about your connections, you are not a star chaser, and you don’t like reading books. What are the things in the cultural circle that people who are star chasers are involved in?

But seeing how the eldest sister was so supportive, he still said, "We don't know each other very well, so I just want to get acquainted with Yu Hua."

Sun Caixia's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Brother, you are so powerful. You know everyone. Sister, I have nothing to do every day. When they come to Shanghai in the future, if you let me receive them, I will also know more people. Young At that time, I also had a literary dream."

Sure enough, leisure is the driving force for human progress.

"Why, Sister Sun still wants to pursue her dream of entering the literary world." Zhou You joked.

"I really have this idea. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I want to write some words for fun. When the time comes, I will ask the boss to give a lecture, and I will go and listen." Sun Caixia said with a serious face. There is no point in eating, drinking and having fun every day, so she still wants to do something new. Try some tricks and do something with spiritual pursuits.

Otherwise it would be easy to get bored.

"Sister Sun, this is simple. In the future, I plan to invite writers from all walks of life to come here to sign books and give lectures, and build it into a reading and cultural center. You can just read books often in the future." Zhou You does have this idea.

A group of people who love books connect with a group of people who write books.

See if you can spark a spark of passion.

There are rows of flower baskets, and the decoration has taken so long. Although there is no big publicity, basically all the interested residents from the surrounding area come here.

Working hours.

Most of the people who came here were retired people, and there were also a few young people who had just graduated or were newly unemployed.
Or a freelancer.

The original freelance worker might have gone to coffee shops more, but now that I have a place with a better environment, I will definitely change my location.

It can also virtually improve your performance.

When everyone walks into the bookstore, there is a big difference between what they can see outside and what they see inside.

An old man with black hair and a strong build. After a brief tour of the bookstore, he became more and more surprised. The decoration was not cheap, and the facilities inside were also very complete. Could it be a public store?

When I met a staff member wearing work clothes, I asked: "Is this done by your work unit, provincial map, or city map?"

"Uncle, we are not, we are holding it privately." The staff said politely.

"Then you have spent a lot of money. How can you make money by opening a bookstore now?" Retired men in Shanghai are all great people. They are well-informed and can chat about anything.

The staff smiled and said nothing. They didn't know what to say. Now that the benefits are so good, they want to work for a few more years.

The young man goes to the bathroom to put some water first.

The floor is clean and bright, and the area is not large. There are two standing positions and two squatting positions. In a place like Shanghai where land is at a premium, it is a good idea to have a separate toilet and still be so clean.

I walked around the bookstore and looked at the categories of various places.

History, philosophy, literature, social sciences, children, and economics are just a few broad categories. They are not comprehensive.

I walked to the front desk and asked the staff: "Why don't you have any political books here?"

The staff have also been trained and know the positioning of their bookstore, which is to read books leisurely, gain more knowledge, and broaden their horizons. The rest are not involved.

As for this, it still needs to be adjusted and changed at any time.

"Sorry, no." The staff was also very polite.

"Then you don't have all the categories here." The young man continued to ask.

"Yes, our bookstore currently only has these books. As a small bookstore, the variety is limited. Please understand." The staff said politely.

Traveling around to open bookstores is not only for my own ideals, but also to screen customers and find people who share the same goals.

Readers screen authors and bookstores, and bookstores screen readers.

Only those with the same values ​​and interests can continue on.

Only by uniting this group of people can the bookstore survive for a long time. This is also Zhouyou's store opening strategy.

Those who do not follow the Way are not qualified to travel far.

The first day of opening was uneventful.

Some people come and go, some sit down and read quietly, and some come and go in a hurry, take pictures and then leave.

There are also people who have a book in front of them and have not opened it at all. They have been playing with their mobile phones to find self-comfort.

Some people took out a set of papers and started to answer the questions. This was for the examination, postgraduate examination, or public examination.

All kinds of people, all kinds of people.

Others are reading, and Zhou You is observing others. I hope I can send some books to you today.

The tour focused on the two areas of philosophy and psychology.

When you are sick, everyone knows to go to the hospital.

People rarely go to the hospital when they are mentally ill.

The reasons for reluctance to go to the hospital are complex.

The individual's unwillingness to accept the status quo is on the one hand, and the pressure of social public opinion is on the other.

Afraid of being known,

Then accept other people's strange eyes.

What’s more important is: Heart disease requires heart medicine.

Major mental hospitals and psychiatry departments, or psychology departments, actually don’t have many methods for treating mental illness. They focus more on alleviation and control. Severe hospitalization can prevent harm to family members and society.

Mental illness is roughly divided into two types:

Physiological and non-physiological.

Most people actually suffer from non-physiological symptoms, which can be alleviated or even cured through self-regulation.

As for the physiological ones, this is really a matter of life and death. So far, most of them are based on genetics or large stimulation.

According to relevant national data, the probability of mental illness is [-] in [-].

In other words, there are four out of a thousand people
When I travel around, I think about it carefully, and when I compare it to my hometown, it’s really quite the same.

As for someone who retorted: "My colleagues are all normal people!"

Then just ignore it.

After all, it’s not convenient to go to work if you’re mentally ill, right?

The only people who can be on the train are those who have bought tickets, right?
Li Tao was unemployed and stayed in a rental house for two months, but could not find a satisfactory job. He was idle and found that something was not right with him.

I actually don’t want to go to work.

However, if you don't work, you won't have money, and you won't be able to ask your parents for it. You've already graduated three or four years ago, so you still have the nerve to ask your parents for it. Your parents don't even know that you are unemployed.

I always feel an inexplicable pressure lingering in my heart. I want to go to work, but I don’t want to go to work.

After taking a break of two months, I feel that work is meaningless and life is meaningless.

I will definitely not be able to afford a house in Shanghai in the future, so what is the point of persisting? I was reluctant to go back, and there were no suitable positions in the small place.

I feel extremely irritable.

The only consolation is that Li Tao doesn't like to spend money in advance or buy expensive things, so he still has some money in the past few years of working, otherwise he would really be desperate.

I didn't expect that there was a bookstore nearby. I didn't want to go anywhere else, so I just happened to come to the bookstore to read.

Find the meaning of life.

Li Tao knows that we are no smarter than the ancients. The issues we are thinking about now were already considered by the ancients.

A man was wandering alone in front of the philosophy and psychology bookshelf. He saw the book "What Philosophers Have Done", picked it up, and turned two pages.

The preface attracted me: "When a child cannot restrain his inner confusion and fear and hurriedly asks his parents "Why do people live?", the answer he often gets is: "Don't think nonsense." "

It is very consistent with my own state of mind, yes, why do people live?

Just to go to work?

Then we continue to see: When we continue to ask "Why do people live? What is the meaning of life? What is the nature of the universe?"
Most people will not think that we are smart people who love to think. They will only think that "you are such a weird person."

But I'm sorry, I'm not the only weirdo in this world.

Throughout history, many smart people have also thought about the above-mentioned "strange questions", and they have thought much more deeply than we have.

They are philosophers.

In just a few words, Li Tao had already sunk in.

Yeah, am I a weirdo? Are you a weirdo if you don't go to work?
The opening chapter is Socrates, the sage of philosophy.

Why was such a powerful person executed? Are philosophers so annoying?

With one question after another.

Li Tao kept scrolling down, and his heart was already turbulent. It had been a long time since he had seen a book that suited his liking. What the hell were those garbage poisonous chicken soups?

Continue reading later.

It turns out that the king is also a philosopher. What, philosophy even had a fight with religion!
Damn it, Descartes was not a mathematician, but he was also a philosopher. Newton, Hume, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche were all wonderful characters, and they all appeared on the page.

There are scientists, mathematicians, military strategists, religious figures, rich second generations, kings, and poor people. The philosophers are really all-encompassing and welcome everyone.

Sink into it wholeheartedly, and time passes quickly.

It wasn't until my stomach growled that I realized it was already noon.

Looking at the book in my hand, I couldn't help but put it down. I really wanted to read it in one sitting.

After thinking about it, I haven’t bought a book in a long time. What I bought was food, drink, snacks, clothes, games, and video VIP.

Books, I rarely read them after graduation, let alone buy them.

My heart is filled with guilt and self-blame.

Pick up the book in your hand and walk to the stage.

I definitely have to buy it, I will read it again in the future, and I will read it again and again. When I am confused, I will take it out and study it.

"Hello, how much does this book cost?" Li Tao asked.

Manager Wang scanned it and said loudly: "Hello, the price is 52. If you join our WeChat group, you can get a 9% discount. We will organize some activities regularly. If you are interested, you can also participate."

Li Tao hesitated for a moment. A book is indeed not cheap, but the sense of satisfaction and security that books bring to him is something that no other book can provide.

Many people are like this. They don’t think it’s expensive to buy a piece of clothing for a few hundred dollars or a pair of shoes.

If you buy a book worth dozens of dollars, it feels expensive.

Calligraphy is difficult.

"Okay, don't you want to be a member?" Li Tao said curiously.

"No, people who like to read will naturally come. If you don't like to read, if you give it to them, they will find it too heavy, and membership is meaningless." Manager Wang had deep feelings.

Li Tao nodded, scanned the QR code to join the group, paid the bill and prepared to go to dinner.

At this time, Zhou You came over and said happily: "Brother, this book is given to you. It will be a great reward for opening the business. The book will be given to the destined person."

It’s fun to travel around, this guy’s taste is similar to my own.

Li Tao took it and took a look at "Broken Pens in Disease Gap", written by Shi Tiesheng.

He nodded and said happily: "Thank you, I haven't read this book yet. I'll take a look when I get back."

I bought a book for nothing and was still very happy.

This is the third book Zhou You has given away.

The first few copies were given to an old man and a little girl who looked in a hurry.

Some are "The Temple of Earth and Me", some are "Broken Pens in the Sickness",
Randomly.

People who are sick want to be healthy most, and other desires will be greatly reduced.

It helps people to maintain themselves and their inner truth in this materialistic era, and allows people to constantly reflect on what is meaningful.

After having enough of the addiction of giving books, the only thing left is to read books myself.

It's much bigger than my own study, and it's all my own. This kind of satisfaction is more comfortable than making hundreds of millions.

As for making money, look at the sparse crowd.

There was no success in opening the door.

But it’s all as expected when traveling around, take your time and don’t rush.

There are roads and roads as paths in Shushan.
There are so many ways to travel around,

Traffic era,

I am king. (End of chapter)
