Chapter 422: 422 (first watch of the night)

After hanging up the phone, Song Juan looked anxiously at the driver, "Old Song, head to the city hospital right away."

The call had come from the nanny at home, informing her that her mother-in-law had suddenly fainted and was hospitalized due to an acute cerebral hemorrhage, and her condition was very grave.

At this moment, she couldn’t care less about Chu Jin’s advice; human life was at stake.

Besides, what could such a young girl know? The things she said were very likely made up.

Song Juan chose to ignore Chu Jin’s advice.

The driver immediately started the engine, kicking up a cloud of dust, and the black sedan quickly disappeared from view.

Chu Jin arrived at Yan Yuzhai by car, and it was already 8 o’clock when she got there.

Standing in front of the familiar doors, she was overwhelmed with emotions.

Because it was the opening day, there were many fresh flowers placed in front of the store, and a long red carpet was laid out.

The staff inside were all busy with their respective tasks, preparing for the opening.

As soon as she walked in, a young woman in a uniform approached her; she was wearing a blue uniform with a name tag that read "Store Manager" on her chest.

"Hello, you must be Miss Chu."

Chu Jin nodded slightly, "Yes, it’s me."

Knowing that Chu Jin was the owner of Yan Yuzhai, the store manager’s attitude was very respectful, showing no neglect because she was just a young girl, "Miss Chu, we will officially open in half an hour. Let me show you around first."

Chu Jin waved her hand slightly, "No need, I’ll just take a look around on my own; you go ahead with your work."

Although she was young, she emanated the presence of someone superior, inspiring an involuntary fear in others. The strong aura she projected from within was inimitable.

The store manager involuntarily bent her waist, "Alright, Miss Chu, if you need anything, just call for me." With that, she turned and left.

Only then did Chu Jin leisurely move from the first floor to the second floor. As she looked around, her eyes became somewhat warm.

Compared to her previous life, the layout of Yan Yuzhai had been altered slightly, with an antique decoration. Whether it was the bookshelves or the tables and chairs, all were made from authentic mahogany. The bookshelves were placed in the center of the room, and beside the windows, there were tables and chairs for people to sit, rest, drink tea, and read.

There was also a guqin placed in the back of the bookstore.

The place was filled with the fragrance of books, creating an elegant environment that could relieve stress.

Tea was offered for free, reading incurred no charge, the bookstore operated 24 hours, and students and seniors could enjoy a 20 percent discount on book purchases with their IDs.

It could be said that this was a bookstore that was not aimed at making a profit.

The initial purpose of opening this bookstore was to leave a light in this city and provide a glimmer of brightness for the burdensome journey of its people.

After her rebirth, she still retained her original intention, sticking to her initial dream.

...

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed. With the crackle of firecrackers, Yan Yuzhai was officially open for business.

During this time, the store manager had come to ask Chu Jin if she wanted to make an opening speech, but Chu Jin declined. Therefore, the opening ceremony was very simple, with no ribbon-cutting and no speech, just a string of firecrackers.

On the first day of opening, all books were half-price, which attracted many people. Before long, customers filled the store. Gradually, the nine young girls working there started to get overwhelmed.

Seeing this, Chu Jin also joined in the busyness to help customers find books. When her staff saw that the boss herself was taking part, their efforts doubled.

She was wearing a pink dress, fluttering through the crowd like an agile butterfly, turning everything around her into a mere backdrop, unforgettable at a glance.

Chu Jin was carrying a heavy stack of books down to the first floor; the thick pile of books seemed almost effortless in her hands.

Passersby could not help but take a second look at her.

A beautiful person always attracts attention no matter where they go, and Chu Jin was completely unaware that several young men had already passed by her back and forth five or six times.

The thick stack of books blocked her view, and she didn’t notice a little boy rushing towards her at high speed. Chu Jin simply felt a hard bump; she herself was fine and quickly steadied her stance, but the little boy who had caused the accident lost his footing and was sent stumbling forward, about to hit the edge of a nearby vase. Concerned for the boy, Chu Jin reached out to help him, and in doing so, the books in her hands scattered on the ground.

The little boy, realizing he had caused trouble, immediately apologized, "Thank you, sister. I’m sorry for the trouble. I was in a hurry to find my mom, I didn’t mean it." It was clear that he was a well-taught child.

"It’s okay, just run a bit slower and remember to watch where you’re going," Chu Jin said with a smile, shaking her head as she reached out to pat his head. "Go find your mom."

"Thank you, sister," the little boy said, his face flushing as he ran off quickly.

Chu Jin squatted down to pick up the books. She had just picked up two when a pair of very clean hands appeared in her field of vision: pale, well-proportioned, with clear knuckles and a perfection that resembled an artist’s hands. Wearing a black ring on his index finger, and moving upward, there was the sleeve of a black jacket with gemstone cufflinks reflecting dazzling light under the illumination.
