Chapter 106: A Gift from My Boyfriend
In the first week after the bookstore opened, the flow of customers was not bad. The vacant positions in the bookstore were filled up one after another. With more manpower, Lin Gantang did not have to run ragged like she did at the beginning.
Every day, before operations started, Lin Gantang would go to the bookstore in advance to check on the cats’ body and condition, combing their fur.
Qian Ruoxi was scheduled for the morning shift and arrived early. When she saw Lin Gantang, she came over and asked her nervously, “Boss, 1 took a video of three cats yesterday and uploaded it. 1 thought no one would watch it, so I didn’t ask you. I didn’t expect the video to have so many views yesterday. I… I thought I should tell you.”
Lin Gantang knew that Qian Ruoxi was a fan of short videos and would usually upload videos on the platform.
“That’s a good thing. It proves that you filmed well.” Lin Gantang smiled encouragingly.
Qian Ruoxi heaved a sigh of relief. “Quite a number of people have asked whose cats these are, and I replied with the bookstore’s address. Boss, short videos are quite popular now. Have you thought of getting an account for the bookstore?” “To shoot videos to promote it?” Lin Gantang raised her head.
“You can say that. Daily uploading of videos would lead to more interactions, and there will definitely be more customers who want to come and have a look.” Qian Ruoxi scratched her head and said shyly, “I’m just saying; I don’t know if it’ll work.”
“You’re right.” Lin Gantang thought it was feasible and smiled. “I’m thinking of increasing my online operations. Your suggestion is great. I’ll give you a raise at the end of the month.”
“Thank you, boss!” Qian Ruoxi bowed happily and ran to tidy up the shop.
After finishing her work, Lin Gantang registered for an account and recorded a video, taking advantage of the fact that there were few people. The three cat employees appeared together, looking especially cute.
Lin Gantang buried her head in editing.
A car drove past.
When Gu Zhichuan saw the Cat Bookstore, he called for the driver to stop.
He knew that Lin Gantang had opened a bookstore, but he also remembered that Lin Gantang had once said that she wanted to marry him and be his wife. She wanted to stay home and be a good wife to him.
Unknowingly, he walked in and saw a calico cat lying on Lin Gantang’s lap. It was focused on doing its own thing.
He did not disturb them.
It had been a long time since he had entered a bookstore. The fragrance of the books seemed to have a soothing magic, and the quiet environment made him relax at once.
Ever since Gu Zhichuan had found Feng Yangyang, he had to go to the hospital often. Mr. Gu’s health improved and he was discharged from the hospital. Mrs. Gu found that he still went to the hospital from time to time and became suspicious. She followed him and discovered Feng Yangyang.
Things got out of hand.
All of Feng Yangyang’s expenses were paid by Gu Zhichuan, and Mrs. Gu was increasingly unhappy with Feng Yangyang. She interrogated Gu Zhichuan many times.
He had just picked up two books when Mrs. Gu called. “The people in the office said that you weren’t around. Did you go and look for that Feng Yangyang again?”
“I’m your son, not your puppet,” Gu Zhichuan said in annoyance. “Do you get to decide where I go?”
Mrs. Gu was crying over the phone, saying that her son was unfilial. Gu Zhichuan promptly hung up.
The familiar voice made Lin Gantang raise her head, and she saw Gu Zhichuan.
Gu Zhichuan looked over, but the other party had already calmly retracted her gaze.
He took the books and walked in front of Lin Gantang. “The bill, please.”
“The cashier is over there. Thank you,” Lin Gantang reminded.
Gu Zhichuan refused to move.
The visitor was a guest. Lin Gantang put the calico down, took the books from his hand, and walked to the cashier. Gu Zhichuan followed behind her.
“Thank you for the 84 yuan.”
After Gu Zhichuan paid, Lin Gantang wordlessly helped him pack the books.
Gu Zhichuan admitted that he was disappointed. He picked up the books and saw the pearl bracelet on her wrist. “It suits you very well.”
“Thank you,” Lin Gantang smiled. “It’s from my boyfriend..”
