Chapter 83
In the evening, No. 1 Fiction Street, Peace Bookstore.

Seven booksellers were sitting together, chatting while drinking tea, including Zhao Heping, the owner of Heping Bookstore, Li Qing, the owner of Qingfeng Bookstore, Lin De, the owner of Houde Bookstore, and so on.

"Liu Xing's rise is too fast. In just one year, he has already established a firm foothold in the novel street. What we have failed to do in seven or eight years, he has done it all in one year. "Zhao Heping frowned slightly, "Meteor Book Bar will open tomorrow, do you want to celebrate?"

"You must go!" Li Qing, the owner of Qingfeng Bookstore, said, "Liu Xing is unstoppable this year. Do you think this is just a coincidence?"

Lin De, the owner of Houde Bookstore, was curious: "Lao Li, what do you mean by that?"

Li Qing reminded: "Think about it, the three most popular novels on Fiction Street this year, "Detective Wang Nan", "Detective Wang Nan: The Strange Case of Shooting the Carved Book Coffin", and "The Master of the Book Coffin" were all written by Liu Xing alone. Do you think this is normal? If there is no noble person to help you secretly, how could Liu Xing get the sales agency rights of so many good books in a row and make a lot of money?"

Lin De asked: "Who is this noble person who secretly helps Liu Xing?"

"I suspect it's the top management of the Fiction Street Management Committee, maybe even Chairman Wang Tairan." Li Qing speculated, "Chairman Wang Tairan will retire next year, and Liu Xing's sudden rise to fame in Fiction Street this year may not be a coincidence what!"

Lin De heard the implication: "Could it be that Wang Tairan wants to train Liu Xing to be his successor?"

"It's impossible to tell!" Li Qing said with emotion, "Liu Xing wants wind to win wind, rain to win rain, and according to the development of the situation, in a few years, it's really hard to say who will rule the novel street. "

"According to your analysis, it seems that Liu Xing really shouldn't be underestimated." Linde was a little belatedly aware, "It seems that the Meteor Book Bar will open tomorrow. What kind of congratulatory gift did you say to Liu Xing? Okay? Wouldn’t it be too shabby to send a star novel?”

……

In the early morning, the golden sun shines on the street, and the fresh air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers. The entrance of Meteor Book Bar is decorated with lights, lanterns, flowers, colored balls, red couplets... a joyous scene.

Today is the opening day of the book bar, Liu Xing got up early, and at this moment, he is instructing the waiters in the store to make the final preparations.

"Xiaomei, move these pots of flowers to the reading room, and place a pot in every corner."

"Okay, Mr. Liu."

After working for more than an hour, everything was ready, Liu Xing glanced away, only to find Wang Lanlan standing at the door of the book bar, Xiaoliu's brows were tightly locked, her childish face was slightly serious, and she looked preoccupied.

"Wang Lanlan, why do you have a bitter face?"

"Liu Xing, what if no one comes to support the opening of the book bar today?"

"The emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry. I am not worried. What are you worried about?"

"However, the book club has been in preparation for so long, and it would be very frustrating if no one came to support it...Huh? Someone is here!"

Just as he was talking, a figure walked into the bookstore. It was Zhao Heping, the owner of Heping Bookstore, with a big red gift box in his hand.

"Boss Zhao, why are you here?" Liu Xing stepped forward.

"Your bookstore is open, of course I want to come and see it." Zhao Heping said with a smile, and handed over the red gift box in his hand.

"Come here, why do you still bring gifts?"

"It should be, please have a good time!"

……

Seeing this, Wang Lanlan secretly rejoiced: finally someone came to cheer for Liu Xing's book bar, hehe!
In the midst of joy, at this moment, two more people walked into the bookstore, Guo Meiyu, the proprietress of Meijiayang Bookstore, and Lin De, the owner of Houde Bookstore, both holding gifts in their hands.

"The number of people supporting Liu Xing has increased to three!" Wang Lanlan's face showed joy, and she made a note secretly, her big eyes were fixed on the door of the book bar, looking forward to the appearance of new guests.

Wang Lanlan's expectations did not come to nothing, and in the next two hours, some booksellers from Fiction Street came to congratulate her one after another.

At 8:15, the owner of Shangwen Bookstore came;

At 8:19, the owner of Qingfeng Bookstore came;

At 8:22, the owner of Yucai Bookstore came;

……

Wang Lanlan stood at the door of the book bar, pinching her fingers, secretly counting the number of guests who came to the book bar today.Seeing more and more people in the book bar, Wang Lanlan smiled happily.

At this time, Liu Xing hurried over and asked, "Wang Lanlan, how many people are here today?"

Wang Lanlan stroked with a small hand, and said a little excitedly: "36!"

"So many?" Liu Xing frowned. He originally thought that there would be a dozen people at most today, so he only set up five tables of banquets to fool around.Unexpectedly, so many people came, and five tables of banquets were obviously not enough.

Immediately, Liu Xing took out his mobile phone, called Liu's father, and temporarily added another five tables.

Two hours later, the Meteor Book Bar was already full of people.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, under the witness of more than 40 booksellers and hundreds of people, Liu Xing, Liu Shiming, Lu Yuxin, Wang Lanlan and others attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the book bar.

With the end of the ceremony, Meteor Book Bar officially opened!
After the ribbon-cutting, Liu Xing and more than 40 booksellers went to Mingxing Hotel for a banquet.

At the banquet, Liu Xing became the focus of everyone's discussion. His rise in the novel street this year has made many booksellers envious.

Everyone understands that Liu Xing already has a place in this novel street.

To be precise, it is two seats.A Meteor Bookstore, a Meteor Book Bar.

When it comes to these topics, the happiest people are Liu's father and Liu's mother.

A year ago, the two elderly people were still worrying about Liu Xing's illness, and the family owed a lot of debts.Now, their son has not only recovered, but also thrives in the novel street, and has become a millionaire inadvertently.

"Liu Xing, I haven't thanked you for "Detective Wang Nan" last time. Let's have a few drinks today!" On the wine table, Zhao Heping, the owner of Heping Bookstore, said holding his glass.He previously distributed "Detective Wang Nan" from Liu Xing and earned more than 1 yuan.

Before Liu Xing could speak, Liu Shiming on the side said, "Boss Zhao, my Ah Xing doesn't know how to drink..."

"How can a man not drink! Liu Xing, come, have a drink!" Zhao Heping filled a glass of wine for Liu Xing.

Liu Xing said: "Boss Zhao, I really don't know how to drink."

"Xiao Liu, drink even if you don't know how to drink. I'm so happy today, I can't justify not drinking!"

"Old Zhao is right. The opening of the bookstore is a great event. How can you not drink. Xiao Liu, I will drink with you too!"

……

More than a dozen booksellers booed one after another, finding all kinds of high-sounding excuses to drink with Liu Xing, but in desperation, Liu Xing had no choice but to insist.

He drank a glass of wine with eight booksellers including Zhao Heping, Lin De, and Guo Meiyu successively. After drinking the eight glasses of wine, his face immediately turned red and his mind was a little dizzy.

"Everyone, excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom."

After saying hello, Liu Xing walked into the bathroom of the hotel and closed the door.

"These old guys are really drinking!"

Complaining secretly, Liu Xing calmed down slightly, and with a thought, the internal force in his body swam, mixed with wine, flowing along the meridians, from the abdomen to the arms, and then along the arms, and finally forced to the fingertips.

While reciting the mental method of "Six Meridians Excalibur" silently, water drops overflowed from the fingertips, one drop after another, and the falling speed of the water drops became faster and faster, gradually turning into thin water lines.

Suddenly, a thick smell of alcohol permeated the bathroom.

These drops of water are exactly the wine that Liu Xing drank just now.

"Although "Six Meridians Excalibur" cannot be used to hurt people now, it is more than enough to be used to drain wine."

Two minutes later, the eight glasses of wine had all been drained out of the body from the fingertips, Liu Xing's flushed face returned to its original state, and his consciousness regained consciousness.

After flushing the drink away with the toilet, Liu Xing returned to the lobby of the hotel.

"Xiao Liu, you're finally back. I thought you'd run away. Come on, I'll have a drink with you too!"

As soon as he was seated, there were booksellers who wanted to have a drink with Liu Xing. There seemed to be a lot of alcoholics among these booksellers. How could they let Liu Xing go on a festive day like today?

Of course, Liu Xing was not afraid of them, he drank as much as he drank, at worst he went to the toilet a few more times!

Therefore, Liu Xing would not refuse anyone who came, and cheered to these booksellers one by one. Liu Xing passed all 45 booksellers in the audience and passed the customs.

"Xiao Liu, you still said that you don't know how to drink. This amount of alcohol is... a monstrosity! No, I have to get you drunk today!"

Several old alcoholic booksellers did not give up, and started to drink with Liu Xing for the second round.

After Liu Xing went to the bathroom, he continued to fight.

These booksellers were thinking about getting Liu Xing down, but after more than a dozen rounds, Liu Xing became more and more energetic, but the dozen or so booksellers had already woken up unconscious and drunk.

After two o'clock in the afternoon, the banquet was almost over, and the booksellers left one after another, and a dozen drunk booksellers were carried away.

After the banquet, Liu Shiming looked at Liu Xing in surprise: "A Xing, you drank so much wine, aren't you dizzy at all?"

"good."

"Why are you so good at drinking?"

"Uh... it's all forced out!"

……

After the banquet, Liu Xing didn't take a break and rushed to the book bar immediately.

When I arrived at the lobby on the first floor, I saw a pile of gift boxes on a round table. These were congratulatory gifts from more than 40 booksellers. At this time, Wang Lanlan was looking around the gift boxes curiously.

"Ah, Liu Xing, you are finally back!" Wang Lanlan said with a smile, "Hurry up and open the gift box to see what's inside."

Liu Xing glanced at the gift boxes on the table, and said, "When will so many gift boxes be unpacked? Wang Lanlan, help me unpack together."

"right!"
