Guide to Running a Shop in Another World

Chapter 207: The fifth store

Views:

Lu Yao was writing a magic circle in the lounge when Ku Ba came in and said that a guest wanted to see her.

Lu Yao asked him to bring someone in.

Wan Baozhu walked into the cinema lounge for the first time and fell silent again after sitting down.

Lu Yao stood up and made her a cup of tea, brought her some snacks, then sat down and continued to draw the magic circle, casually asking, "Mr. Qian, what do you want to see me for?"

Wan Baozhu came back to his senses and leaned forward slightly, "What are you drawing?"

Lu Yao put down his pen and looked up at her: "The cinema will be expanding to a new theater in a while, and I'm drawing the design that will be used when that happens."

Wan Baozhu frowned: "Is the new theater different from the 3D theater?"

Lu Yao nodded: "In theory, it will be very different. The new theater will use more mature technology than 3D technology. However, the new technology is still under development."

Wan Baozhu can clearly feel the difference between a 3D cinema and an ordinary screening room, and the visual experience is very intuitive.

There are also new technologies that can surpass the so-called 3D technology, which Wanbaozhu cannot imagine.

"New technology?" Wan Baozhu tapped the table subconsciously. "Isn't it too early for you to start drawing the blueprints for the theater when the technology is not yet confirmed?"

Lu Yao smiled: "Not too early. This is not the design drawing of the theater, but part of the new technology."

The technological research and development in Yeguang City was going exceptionally smoothly, and Lu Yao also wanted to get the design drawings of the magic array group as soon as possible, and then conduct tests in the Sea of Eden. If there were no problems, he would send them to Yeguang City and burn them directly.

Wan Baozhu looked down at the drawings on the table. Strange patterns and words were inlaid in circles of different sizes. The circles of different sizes were connected together in no regular pattern. There were plan views, side views, and complex perspective renderings.

She can't understand.

"You...are all the people in your place like you?" Wan Baozhu gave up beating around the bush and asked directly.

Lu Yao tilted his head and thought for a moment: "There should be very few people like me."

Ever since she was entangled with the dream-fulfilling system, her daily life has become different from that of most ordinary people.

Wan Baozhu inexplicably felt a sense of relief: "Sure enough, you are also one of the minority."

Lu Yao probably guessed what Wan Baozhu was thinking, "Is The Moon Landing Project any good?"

Wan Baozhu nodded: "It looks good."

Lu Yao: "I think it's good too. I was a little confused at first. I didn't understand why I embarked on the journey, nor could I figure out the meaning of this journey. Sometimes I would feel a little anxious because I didn't know what I was looking for. When I watched "Moon Landing" during the film review, I suddenly calmed down. In one's life, whether one is willing or not, one will eventually embark on a journey to pursue fame and fortune, seek wealth and love, or to explore the truth and experience the various flavors of the world... People always have to find something to feel at ease. This path may also be my own choice."

Wan Baozhu widened his eyes slightly, "You said you were on a journey?"

"Surprised?" Lu Yao smiled.

Wan Baozhu nodded blankly, "So Liangjing is just a resting place on your journey? Where are you going to go next?"

Lu Yao shook his head, somewhat helplessly: "I don't know either. It's clearly my journey, but I can't control it."

Wan Baozhu lowered his head and fell silent again.

Lu Yao added: "But it's not so bad once you get used to it."

Wan Baozhu raised her head, the shadow in her eyes disappeared, "Thank you, Lu Yao."

Wan Baozhu stood up and said goodbye to Lu Yao.

When I reached the door, I was called again.

While Lu Yao was tidying up the drawings on the table, he said, "Mr. Qian, you just said that I am a minority. Actually, that's not true. I am just like most people. I was born ordinary and don't have big dreams. I just work and live an ordinary life."

Wan Baozhu turned around, and the expression on her face seemed to say "Don't be ridiculous, this is nothing special."

Lu Yao smiled and continued, "You too."

The world is vast enough to accommodate any ambition, greed, or delusion.

Man is as insignificant as dust in the universe.

Many times, there is no need to think of your own existence as something special.

Wan Baozhu was startled and bowed his head again: "Thank you."

Is she the same

Walking out of the lounge, Wan Baozhu's lips curled up slightly.

Xie Wan and Sun Qinghe were sitting at a table in the corner of the rest area on the first floor. When they saw Wan Baozhu coming out of the lounge, they immediately stood up, walked over to call Hongyu who was being entangled by Xie Xu and others, and wanted her to help pass on a message.

Xie Xu and Chen Yuning were studying Hongyu's glasses together. Xie Xu tried to wear them, but felt dizzy when he stood up, so he took them off immediately. "Are your glasses different from the ones in the cinema upstairs?"

Hongyu stood aside and nodded awkwardly.

I am used to wearing glasses, and when I suddenly take them off, everything in front of my eyes is blurry and I feel very insecure.

Chen Yuning also tried to wear it, took it off immediately after walking two steps, and looked at Hong Yu: "I feel dizzy, and I can't see clearly. Why do you wear this?"

Hongyu reached out to take back the glasses, put them on again before replying, "I have an eye disease, and can only see with these. This pair of glasses was given to me by the shopkeeper."

Lu Yao came out for some fresh air and happened to hear this. He replied casually, "Hongyu is nearsighted, so she wears glasses to correct her vision. Normal people have no problem with their eyes, so of course they are uncomfortable wearing them. The lenses of 3D glasses are different from these, and their uses are also different. If you observe carefully, you should be able to find the difference."

Xie Xu looked at Lu Yao and said, "I really didn't notice it before. It turns out that glasses have different uses."

Lu Yao nodded: "Of course. Many older people have poor eyesight. They often cannot see things close up, but can see things far away clearly. They also need stronger light to see things. This is presbyopia, which can be corrected by wearing glasses."

Old Master Jiang, the chief steward and others were sitting at the next table. They exchanged glances when they heard what was said and felt a little moved.

This thing called "glasses" turns out to be so practical.

The Prince of Jin asked: "If Hongyu wants to watch a 3D movie, what should she do? Should she wear two pairs of glasses?"

Lu Yao shook his head. "That's pretty much the same idea, but we have prepared clip-on glasses. If Hongyu wants to watch 3D movies, she can just add another layer of lenses to her glasses."

Xie Xu and the others wanted to talk, but Xie Wan gently pulled Lu Yao's wrist, frowned slightly, and said anxiously: "Little Shopkeeper, we have something to say to you, can we talk for a moment?"

Lu Yao glanced at her and Sun Qinghe, then turned and walked towards the lounge. "Come with me."

Xie Wan and Sun Qinghe followed Lu Yao into the lounge. Chen Yuning asked Xie Xu, "Why does your sister want to see the shopkeeper?"

Xie Xu shook his head: "I don't know either."

The people at the next table were actually also waiting for Lu Yao, but they didn’t expect him to be intercepted halfway.

Jiang Yudie and Jiang Cheng were a little impatient. Old Master Jiang raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "It seems that the young manager of the cinema is busy and can't talk for a while. Butler."

The butler stood up and said, "Yes."

Old Master Jiang: "Go buy a few more tickets. I haven't seen any other movies yet."

The butler took the order, turned around and went to the ticket office.

In the lounge, Xie Wan and Sun Qinghe sat opposite Lu Yao, looking around uncontrollably.

The furnishings in this room look simple yet novel everywhere.

Lu Yao still poured tea for the two of them, served them cookies, and sat down before asking, "Ladies, what do you want to see me for?"

Xie Wan and Sun Qinghe looked at each other, and finally Xie Wan spoke: "Little shopkeeper, we were inspired by the movie and want to open a girls' school in Liangjing. But we have no experience, so I wanted to ask you."

Sun Qinghe couldn't help but continue: "I've had this idea since "The Sea Train Serial Murder Case". Miss Anne, who is smart, careful and calm, is really amazing. And "Want to See You", even women can go to school and attend classes with men. And today's "Moon Landing Plan", I really can't help it, those women are not inferior to men at all. I talked to Wanwan and think that these women are so outstanding because they can study and go to school like men."

Xie Wan added: "There is also the story of 'Meeting You Again When Flowers Fall', in which Miss Hua Shi finally leaves Prime Minister Shen and becomes a female teacher in the countryside, with students all over the world. We thought that we could also run a girls' school."

Lu Yao was a little surprised, and the corners of his lips curled up uncontrollably. "Your ideas are very interesting. What are the problems? Tell me."

Although she has never run a school, she has been a student for nearly twenty years and still has some say.

Xie Wan took out a stack of letter paper from his sleeve and said, "This is the plan that Qing He and I wrote after discussing it together. Can you help us take a look at it?"

The stack of letter paper was not thin. Lu Yao counted and found that there were nine pages. "Let me take a look first. You guys eat something and take a rest."

Xie Wan and Sun Qinghe were a little nervous. They stared at Lu Yao without blinking, and time seemed to last exceptionally long.

To relieve the tension, Xie Wan reached out and took a piece of cookie. He took a bite and it was crispy and fragrant with just the right amount of sweetness. Paired with hot tea, it tasted better the more he ate.

She quietly pulled Sun Qinghe's sleeve and asked her to have a taste too.

Sun Qinghe reached out carefully and took a piece of chocolate cookie. It had a burnt aroma and a slightly bitter aftertaste, but the taste was really good with a sweet aftertaste.

The two of them gradually indulged in the joy of snacks. Lu Yao quickly glanced through the plan in his hand and was a little surprised. The knowledge of noble ladies is indeed higher than that of ordinary people.

This plan is not perfect, but considering the situation in the Dawu Dynasty, it can be considered an innovation.

She raised her head, ready to have a serious talk with the two about the details of running a girls' school, when there was a sudden knock on the door.

Lu Yao: “Come in.”

Hongyu pushed open the door, her face looking a little unhappy: "Shopkeeper, someone is coming from the palace."

Lu Yao was a little slow to react.

Xie Wan and Sun Qinghe looked at each other and stood up.

Seeing that Lu Yao didn't respond, Xie Wan gently reminded: "Little Shopkeeper, someone is coming from the palace, get out quickly."

Lu Yao came back to his senses and typed into the system: "What's going on?"

The system wanted to scare her: [Your cinema is so big, it must have been noticed. ]

Lu Yao got up slowly, went outside and saw three people coming.

A eunuch in a tall hat holding a whisk and two thin eunuchs were standing at the door.

All the guests in the lounge area had run away, leaving only Ye Xiao and Ku Ba standing at the door, while Zhu Zhu hid behind the counter.

When Qin Mingde saw someone coming out, he immediately raised his voice and asked, "Who is Lu Yao? The emperor has issued an order."

Lu Yao raised his hand and walked over slowly: "I am Lu Yao."

Qin Mingde looked her up and down. He had never expected Lu Yao to be so young, and there was no fear in her eyes. He flicked his whisk and unfolded the bright yellow scroll. "Lu Yao, listen to my order."

Lu Yao stood in the distance, lowering his head slightly.

Qin Mingde raised his head and looked at him with an unfriendly look in his eyes, "Lu Yao, listen to my orders."

Lu Yao also raised his head, looking innocent: "I'm listening."

The young eunuch frowned, rolled up his sleeves and made a move to step forward.

Lu Yao raised his hand and said, "I'm sorry, for some reason, my legs and feet are not convenient. Can you stand and listen to the order?"

She actually tried it just now, but her legs were like cement and she couldn't bend them.

System: [You carry the finger bones of the demon god and the eyeballs of the mother god, which is half of their bodies. The emperor is just a son of god, so he can't bear your kneeling ceremony.]

In short, the shop owner has never knelt before the gods, so how can he be the son of gods

But in front of Chief Steward Qin, this attitude was too arrogant.

Xie Wan and Sun Qinghe were both a little surprised.

Lu Yao was also helpless.

Two young eunuchs came over and tried to force Lu Yao to kneel down.

Ye Xiao came over and threw the two out of the door, saying calmly: "She doesn't have to kneel to anyone."

Qin Mingde was so angry that he thought this man was really not afraid of death. He gritted his teeth, read the imperial edict, and left in anger.

Just wait, when you get to the palace, we’ll see if you still have some backbone.

He was about to return to the palace to talk to the emperor about this cinema and the manager Lu Yao.

Lu Yao lay by the door, looking at the imperial carriage driving away: "How can I enter the palace?"

Xie Wan and Sun Qinghe held their foreheads in their hands, thinking that this young shopkeeper was really bold.

Originally, Eunuch Qin was afraid that he would take the young shopkeeper with him, but he left in anger.

Xie Wan thought about it and took the initiative to speak: "Little shopkeeper, I will take you to Suzaku Gate."

Lu Yao thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your kindness, young lady. I will go by myself. As for the matter of the girls' school, I will discuss it with you in detail when I come back."

Xie Wan and Sun Qinghe looked at each other and couldn't help sighing.

I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get out this time.

When Harold learned that Lu Yao was going out, he ran down from the second floor and said he would take her there.

Ye Xiao also said that he would send her off, and the two of them faced each other at the door, secretly competing with each other.

Lu Yao changed his clothes, packed up, and prepared to go out. "Let's go."

Harold took the lead and followed, "I'll take you there."

Ye Xiao also followed from behind and handed Lu Yao something, "Emperor Wu only summoned you, I will send you to the Suzaku Gate. Wear this, and touch it when you encounter danger."

Lu Yao thought that this guy was not even pretending anymore. He took the object and looked at it, and was slightly stunned: "What is this...?"

Lying in Lu Yao's palm was a golden lotus with distinct textures, attached to two round golden lotus leaves and a small unopened lotus bud.

Lu Yao looked at it carefully for a while, "Is this... an earring?"

The lotus leaves and buds are connected to the thin golden branches, which are bent into a peculiar hook shape. It is difficult to understand if you don't look closely.

Ye Xiao pursed his lips and remained silent.

Harold snorted coldly, reached out from his clothes on his chest and took out a dark hairpin with a strange glow, and handed it to him: "This is the hardest dragon scale on my body. I asked Ambrose to make it into a prop. Wear it, and I will definitely appear if there is any danger."

The hairpin was so delicately made that one could vaguely see the pattern of the dragon's scales. It was as black as ink, yet sparkled when held in the hand.

Ambrose has always had good taste. Lu Yao took it, looked at it for a few seconds, and pinned it directly on his hair. "Does it look good?"

Harold glanced at Ye Xiao complacently and nodded proudly: "Not bad. When I grow up, I will grow a new scale. Then I will ask Ambrose to make a new one for you."

Ye Xiao frowned and said nothing.

Lu Yao touched the dragon scale hairpin in his hair, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and carefully wrapped the lotus earrings and put them away. "Okay, I'm leaving."
