Chapter 1042: Extremely Awkward

A few lackeys were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to do their job properly, so they specially discussed it with Lu Jianan. They all knew that Lu Jianan was the little princess’s best friend, so it was definitely right to discuss it with her.

Lu Jianan was very happy about this. She understood Zishan’s temper. On the surface, she didn’t care, but deep down, she was stubborn. If they came blindly and made her unhappy, what was originally a happy thing would turn into a bad thing in the end. Both of their moods would be ruined.

“Jianan, how many books do you think each of us should buy? Xiaoli said that she wanted to buy 100 books, and Cheng Xin said that he wanted to buy 200 books, but I don’t think it’s appropriate.”

The girl who spoke said that it wasn’t appropriate, but she couldn’t explain why it wasn’t appropriate, so they started arguing in private.

The others also stared at Lu Jianan, waiting for her to speak.

“You’re right.” Lu Jianan smiled gently and praised, “It’s not appropriate to buy too many.”

“Why? We’re not short of money. It’s Zishan’s first time publis.h.i.+ng a book, so we should buy more to support.”

“I think everyone should buy 50 books, that should be enough.”

Lu Jianan patiently explained, “To Zishan, she sells her books to people who like literature. She doesn’t do it to earn money, and she doesn’t do it to make her friends worry. It’s enough for everyone to buy 50 books as a token of their appreciation.”

Everyone was not stupid and understood immediately. They couldn’t help but feel glad that they had asked Lu Jianan, or else they would have done something bad with their good intentions.

Apart from her family background, Lu Jianan was also the reason why Song Zishan was so popular. Otherwise, if Song Zishan had to deal with these complicated interpersonal relations.h.i.+ps by herself, she would scare everyone away and offend them.

Lu Jianan was gentle, smart, and understanding.

Sometimes, when Song Zishan couldn’t control her temper, Lu Jianan would help to mediate. If she offended someone, Lu Jianan would also help her apologize tactfully or give her a stern warning.

Over time, everyone knew, so they acknowledged Lu Jianan and would discuss with her if they had any problems. Lu Jianan would never put on airs. She would help those who needed help and put in a good word for them to Song Zishan if she couldn’t directly help.

Everyone privately called Lu Jianan Song Zishan’s think tank. Those who had ill intentions would maliciously say that she was Song Zishan’s useless strategist, but no matter what, the two of them had always cooperated well together.

Song Zishan also knew how she was and was willing to listen to Lu Jianan.

Lu Jianan didn’t tell Song Zishan about their private discussion. It was best that Zishan didn’t know about such things so that she could maintain her cool image.

With a tacit understanding and a happy mood, the group arrived at the largest bookstore in the city center. Song Zishan walked in front with a sweet smile on her face.

After all the work done in the early stages, it was finally time to accept the results.

Song Zishan felt an unprecedented sense of joy when she thought about how all the positions occupied by Su Wen had been taken by her. However, she concealed her emotions very well and maintained the elegance of the Song family’s little princess on the surface.

However, Song Zishan’s good mood did not last long. The books that she had expected to be placed on the most conspicuous display shelves were not there. The shop a.s.sistant was busy taking her books off the shelves and stacking them all in a corner.

Song Zishan was so angry that she almost fainted.

“How did this happen?” Lu Jianan asked in disbelief.

The other lackeys who came with her were also extremely embarra.s.sed. It seemed that they had come at the wrong time.
