Chapter 38 Rules
Jishantang’s business is indeed very good, but dinner is the busiest time. Because it is the weekend, Zhou Bingkun stayed in the store to help.

Around seven o'clock, Zhou Bingkun saw Shao Jingwen coming to Jishantang with a person who looked like a leader. Zhou Bingkun had an idea and guessed that the other person might be the leader of Jiangliao Publishing House.

"Teacher Shao, you're here? Who is this?" Zhou Bingkun hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, then looked at the leader beside him.

"Zhou Bingkun, let me introduce you. This is the leader of our Jiangliao Publishing House! Are there any private rooms inside?"

"Hello, leader! There are still private rooms available. Please follow me!"

Zhou Bingkun discovered that since the leader arrived at Jishan Hall, he had been constantly looking at the lively scene in Jishan Hall, and unconsciously revealed an envious expression.

"Zhou Bingkun, I told our leader that you want to buy our publishing house's shop, and he decided to talk to you in person!" When they arrived in the box, Shao Jingwen explained with a smile.

"Oh? I wonder what the leader thinks?"

"Zhou Bingkun, right? Our publishing house won't sell the store!
If you are willing to cooperate with our publishing house to open a restaurant, our publishing house will help you solve all the formalities of opening a bookstore! "The leader looked at Zhou Bingkun arrogantly.

“This kind of cooperation is really impossible!

How about this, I’ll send the manager of our Jishantang to your publishing house!

Our manager will help you oversee everything from renovation to official opening." Zhou Bingkun was quite moved when he heard that the leader was willing to help him solve the paperwork issues of opening a bookstore.

"I really find it hard to understand why Mr. Zhou is unwilling to cooperate with our publishing house?" The leader showed a puzzled expression.

“If we really cooperate, how will the ownership issue be determined in the future?
Is it considered public property or my personal property?

To avoid trouble later, I have no choice but to do this now!"

“Since Boss Zhou is really unwilling to cooperate, then forget it!
You don't need to send any managers to Jishantang, our publishing house will handle it ourselves!" Seeing Zhou Bingkun's lack of understanding, the leader stood up and left angrily.

"Teacher Shao, since we haven't reached an agreement, let's just leave!"

"Okay! Leader!" Shao Jingwen gave Zhou Bingkun a wry smile, then followed the leader out of Jishan Hall.

Looking at this situation, Zhou Bingkun realized that he had offended this inexplicable leader of the publishing house and felt helpless. It was absolutely impossible to cooperate with the publishing house to open a restaurant.

When Jishantang was closing at night, Zhou Bingkun saw Sun Ganchao's hesitation and asked, "Ganchao, what's wrong?"

"Bingkun, Xiaoning wants to work at Jishantang!

I just saw that our Jishantang business is quite busy, so I came to ask if you agree?"

"Xiao Ning? It's too chaotic in Jishan Hall!

It's not appropriate for her to come here. I'm planning to open a bookstore in a few days. Once the paperwork is done, I'll arrange for her to work there!"

"Really? Bingkun!" Ganchao looked at Zhou Bingkun with joy.

"Catch up, did I lie to you? It's time to get off work, hurry home!"

"Goodbye, Bingkun!"

Looking at Ganchao's back as he left, Zhou Bingkun shook his head helplessly, then closed the shop and went home.

I have been thinking about Sun Xiaoning's affairs. In the original drama, Sun Xiaoning pursued me for a while, but after being rejected by me, it seemed that Sun Xiaoning ran to Shenzhen to work.

Then she disappeared. After Sun Ganyue passed away, Sun Xiaoning appeared in front of her family again, but she was wearing heavy makeup.

There is no need to go into it too deeply. Everyone knows that Sun Xiaoning's ending was not good. A girl who ran to Shenzhen alone was bound to have some bad things happen.

Now that I have the ability, I can help them catch up with them to the best of my ability, which is actually a cost-free thing to do.

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei brought Guangming back to Jichun from Hong Kong Island. Zheng Juan was the happiest to see her brother who had truly regained his sight.

Zhou Bingkun felt a sense of accomplishment for changing Guangming's fate with his own abilities. Looking at his brother Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Bingkun could feel that his whole temperament had changed after his perspective changed.

After a few months, Zhou Bingkun's "Zhou Family Bookstore" was open for business, and he still arranged for Sun Xiaoning and Xiao Guoqing's wife Wu Qian to work in the bookstore.

Today's "Zhou Family Bookstore" no longer only sells books, but also stationery and toys.

They did not use the house of Jiangliao Publishing House, but bought a shop directly opposite the Experimental Middle School.

Shao Jingwen left Jiangliao Publishing House and is now mainly responsible for the purchasing work of "Zhou Family Bookstore".

Xiao Guoqing also resigned from the wood processing factory. At first, Zhou Bingkun arranged for him to work in Jishantang to learn from Bachao.

When Zhou Bingkun saw that Xiao Guoqing had learned enough, he appointed him as the manager of Jishantang, and then sent Sun Ganchao to be in charge of the Jishantang branch.

When Sun Ganchao heard that Zhou Bingkun asked him to be in charge of the new store, he was reluctant at first. But after Yu Hong was arranged to work at the Jishantang main store, Sun Ganchao no longer had any objections.

Shao Jingwen arrived at the Jishantang main store and saw Zhou Bingkun as expected. He then explained to Zhou Bingkun, "Bingkun, the leader of Jiangliao Publishing House did not reach an agreement on cooperation with you last time.

I went back and opened a restaurant, but due to poor management, it has now become a burden to the publishing house!"

"No way! There aren't many restaurants in Jichun now, how could this happen?"

“It’s mainly the restaurants of their publishing houses that often have a lot of outstanding debts.

The customers who owed us money were all well-connected, so we ended up spending more than we earned!" Shao Jingwen explained with a wry smile.

"Yes! The debt problem is indeed a big problem!

Fortunately, we at Jishantang made the decision not to owe debts from the beginning!

Otherwise, our Jishantang will be in an even worse situation!" After hearing Shao Jingwen's explanation, Zhou Bingkun said with deep emotion.

Zhou Bingkun and Shao Jingwen were talking when they suddenly heard a noise coming from the cash register. Zhou Bingkun walked over in confusion.

"Boss, this customer insists that he is your brother and wants to put the bill on the table in our store!" The cashier said aggrievedly when he saw Zhou Bingkun coming over.

After hearing the cashier's explanation, Zhou Bingkun looked at the drunk customer and found that it was Cao Debao. "Debao, why are you so drunk?"

"Bingkun, will you give me, Cao Debao, some face?

What's wrong with me being on credit at your Jishantang?" Cao Debao said drunkenly when he saw Zhou Bingkun appear.

"Xiao Dong, how much is this table?"

"eighty two!"

"Here's one hundred yuan. I'll pay for their table!" Zhou Bingkun took out a hundred yuan and handed it to the cashier Xiao Dong.

"Hey! Bingkun, you're acting with me here!
It's your own restaurant, and you still need to pay?" Seeing Zhou Bingkun's behavior, Cao Debao said disdainfully.

"Debao, Jishantang never owes any debts!
This eighty yuan includes not only mine, Zhou Bingkun’s, but also the salaries of my employees!
So I have to pay for you!"

"Tsk! Forget it!

Zhou Bingkun, you have become a big shot now!
You don't want to bother with me, Cao Debao!"

Seeing Cao Debao making trouble, he said to Xiao Guoqing, "Guoqing, you should go home first!
Bring Cao Debao back directly!"

"Okay! Bingkun!"

Watching Xiao Guoqing taking the drunk Cao Debao away from Jishan Hall, Zhou Bingkun shook his head helplessly.

Considering the long-term friendship between the Qiao family and the Zhou family, although Zhou Bingkun did not have too close contact with Cao Debao, he did not offend him and always tried his best to tolerate him. However, Cao Debao became more and more excessive.
