Chapter 239 Adding fire in time

Knowing that today is the opening day of Zhao Chen's Wangyou Bookstore, the shopkeepers of the aristocratic family were filled with joy.

Naturally, they were not happy because of Zhao Chen.

But because today, they can make Zhao Chen disgraced.

They had received orders from their respective family heads two days ago to destroy Zhao Chen's reputation on the opening day of the bookstore.

Although these shopkeepers have some status in their respective families, in the eyes of their respective family heads, they are just high-level servants.

But it was really the first time that they were suddenly summoned by their respective family heads.

Several people were happily waiting to make Zhao Chen look embarrassed.

"I heard that it was a storybook called The Story of the Stone, which made many ladies from official families fall in love with it. Most of those sedan chairs were made by ladies from official families." Shopkeeper Wang explained.

In fact, they had already known about this before.

We even know that Zhao Chen recommended this script to all the officials in front of the emperor at the Tai Chi Palace Super Meeting.

But no one expected that so many ladies from official families would come here today.

"It's just sensationalism. They haven't been able to buy a piece of paper these days, let alone print it."

"I'm going to see how they can get the book out later." Shopkeeper Cui sneered.

Several people were hidden in the crowd, looking indifferently at the entrance of Wangyou Bookstore in front of them.

At the entrance of Wangyou Bookstore, Zhao Chen stood behind a stack of books.

Beside him were Li Ruoshuang, Cheng Chumo, and Qin Huaiyu.

On both sides of the bookstore, there were some strong men standing.

There are also two old shopkeepers.

These people were all found by Li Ruoshuang and the others.

For the future management of the bookstore.

"Is that Wannian County Marquis Zhao Chen? He's so good-looking!"

"I heard that the stone record was written by himself. I never thought that Zhao Xianhou, at such a young age, could be so capable."

"Both talented and beautiful, he is truly a rare husband."

"It's good to think about it. The person standing next to him is Li Ruoshuang, the only daughter of Duke Wei. Li Ruoshuang is pursuing the Marquis of Zhao County."

"The Marquis of Zhao County is both talented and beautiful, so it's okay to be his concubine."

"Are you crazy? You are the princess, and you want to be someone's concubine?"

At the entrance of Wangyou Bookstore, a group of ladies from official families were talking quietly.

The eyes that looked at Zhao Chen were filled with stars.

There was even a princess who threatened to be Zhao Chen's concubine, but this shocked her friends nearby.

"Zhao Chen, have you heard that someone is willing to be your concubine?" Cheng Chumo leaned close to Zhao Chen's ear, his eyes filled with envy.

No matter how quiet the voice was, Li Ruoshuang heard it clearly, and her eyes suddenly became sharp.

Cheng Chumo felt the chill around him, his head suddenly shrank, and he took several steps back from Zhao Chen.

"Zhao Chen, it's almost time. It's time to announce the opening." Li Ruoshuang was a little afraid of the fiery eyes looking at Zhao Chen in front of her, so she quickly urged Zhao Chen.

Look at the sun above your head, it's almost noon.

The street in front was even more crowded.

"Okay, let someone open the door." Zhao Chen nodded.

Behind him, a strong man opened the six doors of the bookstore.

But at this glance, I didn't see many books.

It even looks a little shabby.

"this……"

"Didn't we agree to release the follow-up to The Story of the Stone today? Why are there only so few books?"

"You can't be lying, right? I got up very early, but I just wanted to buy a follow-up book of Stone Chronicles. If not..."

"If not, I will definitely set this bookstore on fire."

I saw that there were not many books in the bookstore, and many people had been waiting on the street for a long time.

People frowned.

They all came here to buy books, but what they had in front of them was not enough for them.

Many people seemed a little annoyed.

"Haha, this Zhao Chen is really looking for death. He dares to sell without books." Shopkeeper Cui's face showed a joking look.

I thought that Zhao Chen was indeed defeated by his own methods.

"I think we can add fuel to the fire later when Zhao Chen starts selling storybooks." Shopkeeper Wang on the side said with a sneer.

"Oh? What can I do?" The other people looked curious.

"So..." Shopkeeper Wang said slowly.

"Haha, what a great idea. If this happens, Zhao Chen's reputation will definitely be ruined."

"If you do this, Zhao Chen must go back in disgrace today."

"You dare to fight with us, are you a mere county magistrate? Do you really think you can change the world?"

Several people sneered, squeezed through the crowd, and walked forward.

…

"Wangyou Bookstore opens today. Thank you for your love and support."

"As a thank you, all books today are sold at 20% off."

"Wangyou Bookstore is open for business!"

Zhao Chen stood in the center. As he finished speaking about the opening, he saw firecrackers exploding on the side.

The sound was loud and it was so lively.

"I want to read the Stone Narrative Book. Please sell me one!"

"I want it too, I want it too. This is twenty coins. I'll take one for myself."

"Hey, don't rush. Can you please wait in line?"

"Line up? What kind of queue? Whoever gets it first gets it!"

Before the sound of firecrackers stopped, a group of ladies from official families and students who had heard the news rushed straight to the books at the door.

The one who rushed to the front grabbed a storybook and took the money

Throw it aside, turn around and walk away.

There was even more crowds behind him, and there were constant shouting.

It just almost didn’t start a fight.

In a matter of moments, all the notebooks piled outside were snatched away.

Those who had grabbed the storybook happily walked around and looked at it. Those who had not grabbed the storybook were staring at the books in the bookstore.

However, there are actually fewer books there than outside.

"Marquis Zhaoxian, what's going on with your bookstore? Does it only have a few books?"

"I think it's better not to open your bookstore."

Someone failed to grab the book and was stopped by the strong man in front.

Stopped immediately.

"Are you still selling this book? Let's go in and buy books. I've been waiting all morning, and you told me that there are no books?"

"Hurry up and take out the book, otherwise I will set your shop on fire."

There was another noise after another.

There was a sense of excitement in the whole street.

"Everyone, there are still books. Don't be impatient. Line up one by one and come one by one..."

"You fart, where are the books here?" Shopkeeper Wang, at the sign of Shopkeeper Cui, walked out of the crowd, pointed at Zhao Chen's nose and scolded.

Now is the time when the crowd is excited, and it is a good time for them to add fuel to the fire.

"You're right. You don't have any books here. If you don't take them out today, we will definitely burn down your shop."

"Take out the book, otherwise you won't be able to leave today." The other shopkeepers also encouraged them.

"Everyone, the bookstore really has books, please wait in line." Zhao Chen said to everyone with a grimace, as if pleading.

"Are there books? Damn it, Zhao Chen, if you have books here, we can have as many as we want, and we can buy them for thirty cents each, how about it?" Shopkeeper Cui walked out of the crowd with a sinister smile on his face, Stopped next to Zhao Chen.
