Chapter 918 The World on the Left

There seems to be no conflict between wanting to grow up and wanting to go to elementary school, but it's too greedy...

While joking, Zhang Zhong took Xu Yuhan and the others into Tong You Tong Wu Bookstore.

A young girl stood at the front desk sorting out something, while the boss, Qin Cheng, was tinkering with the coffee machine behind the cash register.

When Zhang Zhongjin came to the cash register, the little girl looked up at Zhang Zhong and the others, showing a standard professional smile, and then her pupils gradually grew bigger. She wanted to call out Zhang Zhong's name, but she held back.

"Hello."

Zhang nodded emphatically, and said that the professionalism of the cashier that Qin Cheng found somewhere was quite good.

The hello did not attract Qin Cheng's attention, and the girl said to Qin Cheng again, "Boss, someone is looking for you."

Only then did Qin Cheng turn his head to look, and when he saw Zhang Zhong and the others, he asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"Why, I'm also a shareholder, so I can't take a look." Zhang Zhong joked with a smile, "Why are you working in the dining area again?"

Qin Cheng said with a smile, "Xiao Li asked for personal leave today, and I'll help him for a long time. Anyway, I like to tinker with these things myself, so I just use them as exercises. I'll make them for you to drink."

Zhang Zhong was not too polite, and ordered directly, "Give me a cup of hot Americano, give Pengpeng a cup of fresh milk, and Yuhan will order it herself."

"I want a cup of hot cocoa, Brother Qin." Xu Yuhan said.

Qin Cheng made an OK gesture, "Okay, it will be fine in a while, there are few people today."

Zhang Zhong looked around again and asked, "Where's Qin Zhao?"

"He is reading on the balcony on the second floor. You can see him when you go up." Qin Cheng pointed to the second floor and said.

Zhang nodded, probably knowing Qin Zhao's location.

Qin Zhao has an exclusive place on the second floor, and basically every time he reads a book, he is in that place.

But the weather is very cold today, and there is no sun outside. The seat where Qin Zhao often sits is a place where the cold wind often visits. Zhang Zhong thought that Qin Zhao would not read a book there today.

Zhang Zhong was not in a hurry to go up to find Qin Zhao, but first took a look around on the first floor.

It will be in the evening, and it is the middle of the week, and the weather is cold, so there are many fewer people who come out to read.

Maybe there will be more people after dinner, but the number may be limited, after all, not many people are willing to go out in this weather.

There were about a dozen people sitting on the benches on the first floor, and there were more than a dozen people scattered in other places. The total number of people in the lobby on the first floor was estimated to be only 34 people.

Although Zhang Zhong hadn't gone up to the second floor yet, he estimated that the situation should be similar.

"Just put the things on the bar after a while. Let's come and get them ourselves." Zhang Zhong said something to Qin Cheng, and then took Xu Yuhan and Pengpeng to the lobby on the first floor.

Now the bookshelves on the first floor are basically full, which is different from when the bookstore just opened.

At the end of the bench is a whiteboard with the most liked book reviews posted during this period.

There is an electronic display next to the whiteboard, and the content is a little richer. In addition to book reviews, there are also recent store owner recommendations, in-store event notifications, scrolling book reviews, and the like.

Zhang Zhong stopped in front of the two boards and looked at the contents for a while.

There are two book reviews posted on the whiteboard, one for Lord of the Flies and the other for The World on the Left.

"The World on the Left" is Zhao Nuo's new book. It has just been released for less than a month, and it is still in the hot selling stage.

Zhang Chong has already read this novel. The protagonist of the novel is a rather special person. Because he was deaf in his left ear since he was a child, he is very resistant to his left side.

He basically doesn't look to his left. Even if someone calls him from the left, he will turn 270 degrees to the right and face the person who called him.

Going out of the house, his first step will not go to the left, even if his destination today is on the left, he will make a big circle.

This is nothing, at most, life is a bit inconvenient, and occasionally some innocuous jokes are made.

Until one day, a neighbor moved in from the left side of his house.

When the neighbor first moved in, he greeted him several times, but he didn't respond, but turned his head and left, because he himself had a sense of fear of the left side of his door.

Even after more than a month, he didn't know what his new neighbor looked like.

In fact, he himself is very regretful. It would be great if he could meet a new neighbor once when he gets off work at night, because then he can say hello to each other normally.

In the following period of time, it seemed that many things happened in the new neighbor's house, and they all happened when he went out in the morning.

Sometimes you can hear a man and a woman arguing from a neighbor's house, sometimes you can hear a lot of people talking, and sometimes you can hear some decoration sounds.

Even once, he heard a slight scream.

But none of this made him turn left in the morning for a glance.

Until one day, when he was off work at night, he met a man at the neighbor's door.

He was very happy because it was the first time he met his new neighbors.

When they met for the first time, he apologized to his neighbors, saying that he didn't mean to say hello to his neighbors before, but it was because of special circumstances.

But the neighbor told him with some doubts that he had just moved in, and the previous owner told him that the house had not been lived in for a long time.

The story came to an abrupt end here, and Zhao Re left readers in suspense.When the book first came out, many people scolded Zhao Re, saying that he was playing tricks, and the story ended halfway through.

But Zhao Re insisted that he has definitely finished writing this novel, and he has no plans to publish a sequel in the future.

Moreover, this is not a novel with an open ending. In fact, the specific ending has already buried clues in front. As long as you find the clues, you can know what the ending of this novel is.

But nearly a month has passed, and no one has found the answer in the book.

Zhang Zhong only read it once, trying to find the answer through his powerful memory, but ended in failure.

Zhao Re said that if no one finds the answer within three months, he will announce the answer himself at that time.

It has to be said that Zhao Re's move at least has a marketing effect.

No one wants to admit that they are stupid, and everyone thinks they are smart, so many people frantically look for answers in books.

As long as the book is discussed in the forum, they are also exchanging things about the ending and exchanging clues with each other.

And the book review in front of Zhang Zhong is actually a post about sorting out important clues. Because it's sorted out best, it gets the most likes.
