As he failed to secure a new round of financing, development cannot continue. The company is in arrears with employee salaries, and the core development team is leaving one after another.

After reading these three pieces of intelligence, Zhang Wei couldn’t help but laugh. This was money delivered to his doorstep. Lying in bed, a series of plans for tomorrow echoed in Zhang Wei’s mind. He decided to deal with the second-hand books first, then go to the Arts and Crafts School to meet Chen Feng, and finally visit the game company to find Wang Xiaoqu.

Early the next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains. Zhang Wei got up early. After washing up, he walked to the living room and saw An Xiaoxi playing with Nut.

”Little girl, don’t stay at home all day. Come on, I’ll take you out for a drive and buy some New Year goods,” Zhang Wei said with a smile.

Hearing this, An Xiaoxi’s eyes immediately lit up. She quickly jumped off the sofa and said excitedly, ”I want chocolate, and I want to buy little walnut kernels! Let’s go, let’s go!”

Zhang Wei set off with An Xiaoxi. He drove the cool lamborghini out of the garage and headed straight for Xinzhang Old Street.

With the New Year approaching, the old street was filled with a strong festive atmosphere on both sides. The trees were hung with bright red Chinese knots, and strings of colorful lanterns dangled from the street lamps. The air carried a faint aroma of New Year cake, immersing people in the joy of the holiday.

The road on the old street was clean and tidy, with small bridges, flowing water, and houses. Although the ancient buildings had been renovated in recent years, it was rare to find such a tranquil old water-town street in a bustling City Name like Shenghai City.

Shop doors on both sides of the street were pasted with couplets, and window paper-cuts glittered dazzlingly in the sunlight.

”Aren’t we buying chocolate and little walnuts? Why are we here?” An Xiaoxi mumbled, her brow slightly furrowed.

”The old street has everything. Come on, I’ll take you to have a look,” Zhang Wei said with a smile, his eyes sparkling with anticipation as if he had already predicted An Xiaoxi’s reaction.

The two walked slowly along the old street’s stone-paved road. The shops on both sides offered a dazzling array of goods, with all kinds of handicrafts andAll kinds of local snacks are available. The sweet scent of candied haws and the warm smell of roasted sweet potatoes intertwined, making one’s mouth water. At a paper-cutting stall on the street corner, an old artisan was skillfully cutting out vividZodiac patterns, attracting many passersby to stop and watch.

They strolled to the front of a bookstore. Theboss, with messy hair like a bird’s nest and looking dejected, was hunched over at the shop entrance, vigorously writing a large poster with a brush. Upon closer inspection, the poster read in flamboyant calligraphy: ”Clearance Sale, 10 Yuan per Jin!” The ink was not yet dry, emitting a faint scent.

Zhang Wei pulled An Xiaoxi straight into the bookstore. Looking around, theThe store’s interior is cluttered and disorganized.. Martial arts novels, comic books, and the familiar ”Zhiyin” magazine filled the store. In this age dominated by mobile phones, paper books had already become a rarity, let alone these yellowed old books.

Zhang Wei pretended to flip through the books in front of him, then casually walked further inside to a pile of old books. He squatted down, picked up a book at random, and casually flipped through it.

”Boss, how much for this pile of books? Also 10 yuan per jin?” Zhang Wei’s voice sounded particularly loud in the slightly dim bookstore, breaking the surrounding silence.

Theboss was standing at the entrance, focused on wielding his brush on the poster. Hearing Zhang Wei’s inquiry, he slowly lifted his head, glanced through the bookshelves at the pile of books in Zhang Wei’s hand, and lazily replied, ”Same, 10 yuan per jin.”

Zhang Wei bent down, carefully selected a yellowed old book from the pile, stood up, and his gaze inadvertently swept over the poster theboss was writing. He slowly said, ”Boss, my little sister really likes reading Lu Xun’s books. I see there seem to be several in this pile. Can you give me a price? If it’s reasonable, I’ll buy them all.”

After saying this, Zhang Wei didn’t forget to cast a few glances at An Xiaoxi standing nearby, his eyes carrying a hint ofTacit Implication, as if saying, ”Play along.”

Hearing this, theboss’s eyes immediately lit up, and an excited expression appeared on his face. Rubbing his hands together, he saidExcitedly, ”Little sister likes Lu Xun? That’s really fate! I won’t say much more, handsome guy. You sit for a while, I’ll weigh them for you right away.”

Theboss’s movements became brisk. He quickly picked up the pile of books, walked to an electronic scale nearby, and carefully placed the books on it one by one,I was afraid of damaging these precious old books.. The numbers on the scale jumped a few times and finally settled at 51.3 jin.

”Handsome guy, 51.3 jin, ten yuan per jin, total 513 yuan. I’ll round it down for you, 510 yuan,” theboss said with a beaming smile.

Theboss殷勤地递上一个二维码, his face full of smiles as if he already saw money waving at him. Zhang WeiQuickly scan the code to transfer money, and the words ”Payment Successful” soon appeared on his phone screen.

Theboss则手忙脚乱地拿出一个破旧的snakeskin bag, carefully bundling the books inbundle. He skillfully packed the books into the bag, not forgetting to tie several rounds of rope around the outside for safety.

”Alright, handsome guy, the books are all packed. Here you go,” theboss handed thesnakeskin bag filled with books to Zhang Wei, his face still wearing a warm smile.

Zhang Wei took the bag and nodded, ”Thanks, boss.” After saying that, he turned and walked towards An Xiaoxi.

”When did I ever say I liked Lu Xun? What I like is Conan, and Kindaichi!” An Xiaoxi sat in the passenger seat, arms crossed,Muttering in dissatisfaction. Her brows were tightly knit, and the corners of her mouth slightly turned down, clearly stillStill holding a grudge about theWhat just happened.

Zhang Wei glanced at her in the rearview mirror, a playful smile curling at the corner of his mouth. ”You Little girl, setting up a ’loves reading’ flag for you completely stunned the bookstoreboss. Didn’t you see his eyes? They instantly changed from suspicion to admiration, practically treating you like a literary goddess.”

”Hmph, I don’t want to be any literary goddess. In literature, I only care about my Conan and Kindaichi,” An XiaoxiHe curled his lip in disdain., but the smile at the corner of her eyes betrayed her innerproud.

”Alright, don’t dwell on that little thing. Now I’ll take you to meet a few handsome guys, guaranteed to make your eyes light up,” Zhang Wei said with a laugh, changing the topic. Turning the steering wheel, the car smoothly drove towards another part of the City Name.
