Midnight Bookstore Chapter 376 – Poverty Limited My Imagination

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lawyer An felt that he was like the head of the Imperial Household. When the Emperor hugged his beloved concubines to sleep, he had to take a sign next to him to record a certain year, month, and day,

did he e.j.a.c.u.l.a.t.e?

When the concubines were pregnant, he would take it out and compare it to confirm if it was indeed a dragon.

He sat in the car for four to five hours.

When the old priest woke up and opened the door of the bookstore, Lawyer An's face darkened. He brought Yueya and Zheng Qiang into the bookstore.

It was not that he did not want to rest. Although meditation was not as comfortable as sleeping directly, it was still an alternative way to rest. It was just that these two babies still needed someone to look after them.

Throughout the entire bookstore, even though these two ghosts were already injured, there were only two and a half people who had the ability to look after them.

One was himself,

the other was Zhou Ze,

the other half was the Little Loli.

The reason why the Little Loli was said to be half a person was because if the little loli were to look at them alone, there might be a risk of mistakes.

The problem was that you couldn't abuse them and deliberately cripple them,

of course..,

from Lawyer An's point of view, the beating he gave Zheng Qiang last night was his love for Zheng Qiang.

For these two, Lawyer An was prepared to be Zhou Ze's subordinate. If Zhou Ze wanted to advance to constable, he had to have at least five subordinates. Now, he was still short of three.

The Little Loli was one, and there was one in Changzhou. Zhang Yanfeng, who had gone back to visit his family, was one. With these two, it could be considered a joint task.

In Lawyer An's opinion, the reason why Zhou Ze brought the two of them back was also because of this aspect.

Since they were all on the same side in the future, and they still had to work together, it was impossible for them to deliberately torture or cripple them. Otherwise, it would be awkward if they worked together in the future.

Lawyer An made a cup of coffee for himself and specially took out Zhou Ze's favorite cat p.o.o.p-flavored one from the inside.

The boss slept comfortably. He had been a prisoner for the whole night, so he had to get some compensation.

With that thought in mind,

he put in another ten or so spoonfuls of coffee for himself.

And because of that..,

after Lawyer An finished brewing the coffee, he walked out with a large thermos cup that was as big as a water bottle.

Zheng Qiang, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, was sitting there. No one knew what he was thinking.

On the other hand, the crescent moon seemed to have arrived, so he took out a magazine and casually flipped through it.

The old Daoist didn't ask in detail, but since Zhou Ze brought her back last night and Lawyer An was watching her today, she was definitely a useful person.

She served the tea attentively,

of course..,

the old Daoist didn't forget to bring over the QR code for payment on the counter,

the crescent moon and Zheng Qiang were dumbfounded,

but they still took out their phones to scan the code and pay.

After a while, Zhou Ze came down. Boss Zhou glanced at the people sitting in the hall and nodded. He wasn't in a hurry to come over either. As usual, he took a shower after waking up.

After changing into dry clothes, Zhou Ze walked over and continued to sit in his seat where he could bask in the sun.

Bai Yingying brought up the newspaper and orange juice that had been ironed and pasted.

Zhou Ze looked at the orange juice and asked in puzzlement,

“Where's the coffee?”

Bai Yingying pouted and said,

“I don't know why, but the bottom of the coffee can has been seen.”

Boss Zhou's eyes immediately widened,

and even..,

there were even blood vessels that slowly began to spread out,

his entire imposing manner suddenly leaked out,

he reckoned that the person inside the seal inside his body was still surprised for a moment,

he had encountered a formidable enemy again?

Otherwise, where did this anger that could hardly be suppressed come from?

Lawyer An opened his Thermos Cup,

the rich aroma of coffee immediately filled the air,

he took a big gulp,

it was like an old farmer working in a field drinking the cold water he brought,

that carefree,

that comfortable.

Zhou Ze looked at Lawyer An,

his knuckles began to ring.

Crescent Moon and Zheng Qiang sat in front of Zhou Ze a little. They had been pretending to be calm, but they suddenly sensed the killing intent coming from behind and were stunned.

Could it be that..,

this ghost who could pa.s.s through the city had changed his mind?

He wanted to kill someone?

For a moment..,

anxiety appeared in the eyes of both of them. Originally, they had some self-respect for their status. Even if they were about to be forced to sign a contract to sell their bodies,

they still had to hold up their proud heads and maintain their face.

But at this moment, they were really afraid that Zhou Ze would change his mind and abandon them.

The two of them stood up together,

they were prepared to do some self-promotion,

to show that they would be a very capable little brother (little sister) .

But at this moment, Zhou Ze gritted his teeth and said, “I can't Take It!”

Crescent Moon and Zheng Qiang looked at each other,

this anger..,

wasn't directed at them?

The two of them obediently sat back down,

like two frightened quails.

Lawyer An opened the lid again and drank a few mouthfuls of coffee, as if he didn't notice Zhou Ze's anger at all.

Boss Zhou nodded,

poor people..,

also needed face,

the poorer they were..,

the more they needed face!

Boss Zhou forced a smile and asked,

“Coffee, is it good?”

“Oh, coffee, I guess I can drink it.”

“…”Zhou Ze.

At this moment, Xu Qinglang's Nissan came back, and Zhang Yanfeng got out.

Old Zhang had finished his family visit holiday and was back.

As soon as he entered, old Zhang was overjoyed:

“The application has been approved, and I will be transferred to Tongcheng to be the captain of the criminal police team. Don't you think it's a coincidence? It just so happens that I made up for the vacancy I had previously.”

He sacrificed himself, and then he made up for his own vacancy.

Boss Zhou suddenly envied old Zhang,

a good person,

was he really that Lucky?

“I'm Thirsty.”

As he said that,

old Zhang took the large thermos cup from Lawyer An,

he drank like a cow,

then he burped,

he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand in dissatisfaction:

“Why is it coffee? I thought it was pure water. This thirst quenching, relying on drinks won't work.”

Old Zhang didn't notice,

boss Zhou, who was sitting across from him,

the corner of his mouth subconsciously twitched again.

“I still have a week of vacation. After a week, I'll go back to work.”

Old Zhang was so happy that he was like a child.

It was indeed worth being happy,

returning from the dead,

he was still a criminal police officer,

it was good that he could return to his original position and continue to be a police officer.

He was only a child who could graduate from the Police Academy next year. His parents had pa.s.sed away, his sister had pa.s.sed away, and he had been divorced for many years. He could almost be considered to be alone.

This was like being reborn after being ten years younger. Nothing else had changed.

“Since you're back, let's do everything together, Old Priest,”Lawyer An called out to the old priest.

“Yes, what is it?”The old priest asked.

“Go to Tong Cheng Hotel and order a table of food. have them send it over. No, forget it. We'll go there for lunch. Book a private room and order the dishes. Also, go buy some fireworks.

“Don't order too many dishes. Order less seafood. If there's game or prohibited items, remember to order less. A table of dishes should not exceed 50,000 yuan.”

Zhou Ze's fingers trembled,

less,

not more than 50,000 yuan?

He had lived two lives,

zhou Ze felt that poverty limited his thinking.

“If it's fireworks, don't buy too much. Just order three truckloads of goods. There's no ban on fireworks in Tong Cheng, right? But we have to keep a low profile. If we put too much, it won't be good for the people.”

Don't buy too many,

just three truckloads?

Boss Zhou's hand that was holding the newspaper trembled slightly.

“Are we going to the public account?”The old priest asked.

“Yes, we're going to the public account.”

Boss Zhou couldn't sit still anymore. He felt that if he didn't get up and say a few words, he wouldn't be able to hold back 200,000 yuan today.

“Don't go through so much trouble. Just keep everything simple,”Zhou Ze said as if nothing had happened.

Keep everything simple,

sometimes..,

it was a synonym for “I'm poor.”.

“If it's a person asking you to be the constable, everything can be kept simple. Now, it's that person asking you to be the constable. It's just like the ancient apprentices.h.i.+p. It has to be more solemn.

“Once I ask you to be the constable, for a long period of time in the future, I'll really be with you through thick and thin. We'll share the glory and the loss together. Isn't it worth being more solemn?”

“…”Zhou Ze.

What you said is so reasonable. Let me think about how to refute it..

Zheng Qiang and crescent moon didn't say anything else. They knew that they could have survived in university yesterday. The reason why the man surnamed an didn't kill them last night was to make them acknowledge him as their master.

I'm a meat on the chopping block,

at this moment..,

they didn't have the right to bicker,

they just had to obediently accept their fate.

At this moment, the Little Loli had also finished was.h.i.+ng up. When she saw the group of people below, she sighed with emotion:

“Yo, it's really lively today.”

Lawyer An waved at the Little Loli and said,

“You came at the right time. You're the Boss's first ghost errand, so you can be considered an elder sister. It's your younger brothers and sisters'entrance banquet at noon, so you have to come too.”

The Little Loli was a little surprised and said, “I'm the big one, and they're the little ones, right?”

Then..,

the Little Loli seemed to have realized something and immediately said, “d.a.m.n it, I let this big pig trotter take advantage of me for no reason.”

The old priest couldn't help but want to laugh at the side,

he had to get into bed every day,

what kind of advantage hadn't been taken?

The Little Loli coughed a few times and asked, “He actually took five? Such a big scene.”

Hearing that..,

zhou ze suddenly frowned and said, “Didn't the constable say that he would accept five Ghost Guards?”

“Of course? Who told you that?”The Little Loli asked doubtfully.

“You.”

“Me?”The Little Loli pointed at herself and said with a smile, “You must have remembered wrongly. I remember that I told you that you only needed to accept three. The lowest is to accept three.”

Zhou Ze looked at Lawyer An,

Lawyer An was also surprised,

he thought to himself, weren't you the one who brought these two back last night to accept underlings?

However, Lawyer An still replied, “If you want to be a constable, you have to accept at least three, at most five, and at the most perfect five. This is because after you become a constable, every ghost under you will get ten GPA points, and you will get three. However, they won't be able to get any of yours. Of course, the more, the better.

“Moreover, this has to be completed before you officially become a constable. After you truly become a constable, you can no longer take in any more subordinates. “Some constable who only accepts three, when a few of their ghosts die in the future, they will truly become a single commander.

“I arranged this plan for you according to the highest standard of equipment. You also understand that a high-quality starting point is very important…”

Zhou ze raised his hand and interrupted Lawyer An's words:

“I remember that you just said that if you only had one ghost, everything would be simplified, right?”

Hearing this,

the crescent moon and Zheng Qiang, who were standing on the side,

suddenly felt a terrifying chill at the side of their necks.
