Boss Lu shook his head and said, "No need to bother, probably someone didn't see the closed sign. I'll send a clerk to shoo him away."

Mr. Kong Fang stepped into the bookstore; he didn't see Li Banfeng, nor the tableful of wine and tea. He only saw Boss Lu on a ladder, tidying the shelves by himself.
Boss Lu glanced at Mr. Kong Fang. "We're already closed. If you want to buy books, come back tomorrow morning."
Mr. Kong Fang let out a chuckle. "Lao Zhou, I came all the way here myself, and now you tell me you're closed—does that really seem appropriate?"
"It's not that we're closing now; we've long since closed." Boss Lu kept solemnly straightening the bookshelves.

Just now Li Banfeng felt someone enter the bookstore, but in the blink of an eye that person vanished again.
Boss Lu sat opposite him, still checking his notes. "Seventh Master, just now you were saying how the sixth chapter of the second volume ought to be revised?"
