Lin Yue knew very well how much money Stinky had earned. He had basically taken out all the money he had earned.

The child was filled with sincerity. Lin Yue accepted the 50 taels and smiled. "If 1 buy more books, that room won't be able to hold them. Uncle will get someone to tidy up the second floor attic for everyone to read for free."

Stinky said ambitiously, "I'll earn more money in the future and build a big, big house so that everyone can go in and read."

Lin Yue stroked his head. "Young Master Stinky is really amazing!"

Stinky returned home happily and told Sheng Huaixuan proudly, "Father, I donated another 50 taels of silver to buy books for everyone to read."

Businessmen doing charity, firstly, could help them gain a good reputation. Secondly, they could gain the favor of the commoners and their business would become better.

Stinky seemed to have contributed a lot of money to charity, but Lin Yue was actually the one behind it.

The store area in the central area, the manpower to maintain order and clean up, and the new weekly magazine and newspaper that were regularly replenished all cost more than what Stinky had donated in half a year.

Since it was what Stinky wanted to do, how could he let Lin Yue pay for it?

Stinky knew that he had caused Lin Yue a lot of trouble, but he had basically donated all the money he had earned. He could not even afford to hire Xiaobai's entire family.

If he borrowed money from Sheng Huaixuan, he might not be able to return it.

After all, he had sold all the fruits and vegetables in his mother's residence.

His monthly salary was only five copper coins. How could he afford the rent and manpower cost?

Stinky was so troubled that he felt that his rice was no longer fragrant.

Just as he was feeling guilty and uneasy, he suddenly heard Sheng Huaixuan say that there was a way to resolve it. His eyes lit up. "Father, Father, Father?"

Sheng Huaixuan smiled and said, "Didn't you say that there are many people in the reading room, so many that everyone can only queue outside?"

Stinky nodded in a daze. Sheng Huaixuan continued, "Since there are many people in the reading room and it's troublesome to manage, why don't we let them borrow the books to read at home?"

"To prevent them from damaging the books, we'll collect a certain amount of deposit. If the books returned are intact, we'll refund the deposit. This way, we can also reduce manpower cost."

"As for the new books that Lin Yue's Publishing House has just released, it's specially divided into areas so that everyone can spend money to rent them. Compared to buying books, renting a book for a day is much more cost-effective. They will definitely be willing to rent books."

"There are many people coming and going in the reading room. It can also increase the sales of other books in the publishing house. We can also set up a pantry in the publishing house, sell tea, and sell cultural products of various books to increase the profits of the publishing house."

After saying that, Sheng Huaixuan lowered his head and saw Stinky looking at him with admiration.

"Father, you're too awesome!"

Sheng Huaixuan thought to himself that this was nothing. If he was in charge of the reading room, not only would he be able to increase the sales of the publishing house, but he would also be able to take over the entire street.
