Chapter 1043: Too Embarrassing

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Wasn’t Song Zishan’s book a bestseller? It attracted a lot of attention the moment it was released yesterday. All the major bookstores were filled.

How could this be?

But the sight in front of them right now showed that it was obviously not popular!

Someone refused to give up and grabbed the busy shop assistant. He aggressively asked, “Why did you put this prose in the corner?”

The shop assistant was busy. She was in a bad mood when she was suddenly grabbed by someone. She angrily replied, “It’s not easy to sell it. I can’t push it out no matter what. Why does it have to occupy the best spot? Our boss has made a big mistake this time. He actually bought so many goods.”

After saying that, she flung her arm and pushed him away. She continued to walk away with her book.

The person who asked the question blushed. He felt that Song Zishan’s gaze was terrifying. “This… Maybe it’s a misunderstanding. Maybe the owner of this bookstore did it on purpose. Yes, this must be Su Wen’s scheme. She must be behind it.”

This person had come up with an excuse in a moment of desperation. It was originally unintentional, but it seemed to have opened a new window for everyone.

The others were also very embarrassed, but when they heard this, they immediately agreed.

“Yes, yes, yes. That makes sense.”

“Hmph! We’ve really underestimated Su Wen. I didn’t expect her to have such an ability to do this behind our backs.”

“Why not? With Zhou Hengyang’s support, it won’t be difficult to do this.”

“That’s true.”

“How does the owner of this bookstore survive? They don’t even have such good eyesight.”

“It’ll go bankrupt sooner or later. When you suck up to people, don’t you see if it can last long?”

At this point, everyone turned all their anger to the bookstore owner and condemned him. They wished that the bookstore owner would be so unlucky as to close the shop immediately. No matter how capable Su Wen was, she could not be compared to the little princess of the Song family.

It was not worth it to offend the little princess of the Song family just to curry favor with Su Wen.

Even though everyone said so, Song Zishan was still so angry that her face turned ashen. Her nails dug into her palms and she pursed her lips tightly. She was furious. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was in public, she would have smashed things in anger.

She glared at the shop, and her heart was filled with hatred.

She was very sure that Su Wen was behind this. She had just removed Su Wen’s books from all the shelves in the Capital, and she had retaliated by backhandedly pulling this trick.

But this was such a small trick and would only be worth viewing it as a joke.

In fact, she was not angry because Su Wen was playing tricks behind her back. To her, Su Wen’s little tricks were a joke and not worth mentioning. She was angry that someone would offend her in order to curry favor with Su Wen.

This made her feel that her authority had been challenged.

“Zishan, since the owner of this bookstore doesn’t know what’s good for him, let’s go to other bookstores to take a look!” Lu Jianan whispered, “There’s no need to be calculative with this kind of person. There are plenty of people who don’t know better. At most, we won’t let him continue operating the store.”

Lu Jianan’s words managed to curb Song Zishan’s anger.

“Alright! I’ll listen to you, Jianan.” Song Zishan finally revealed an ugly smile.

The others immediately followed suit, so the group immediately changed to another bookstore, but an even more embarrassing situation appeared. The situation at the new bookstore was similar to the previous one. The best spot was no longer Song Zishan’s, but a best-selling Wuxia novel.

This time, the excited crowd realized that something was wrong and did not dare to make a sound.
