In a small town, three types of news are most likely to spread like wildfire.

Gossip, supernatural sightings, and sensational mysteries.

Whether it's someone caught cheating on their spouse, a family whose fortune-telling by a fox spirit came true, or rumors of a lunatic serial killer secretly gouging out children's eyeballs, what Mrs. Zhang from the east street mentioned today, Mr. Zhao from the outskirts farming fields could hear about tomorrow.

At some point, rumors started circulating in the neighborhood, each with its twists and turns.

— There's a madman in Hongcheng.

Some say it's someone who escaped from a mental hospital, while others claim it's a fugitive from another province on the run. The versions vary, but everyone warns each other to watch over their children carefully, especially since a child went missing from the South Street market a while back and still hasn't been found.

Although Hongshan Primary School hasn't received any official notification from the police, they're not taking any chances. They've instructed teachers and security guards to keep an eye on parents picking up and dropping off their children, no longer allowing kids to go home from school by themselves.

Jiang Wang casually listened to these rumors and also reminded Xingwang to be cautious and not wander around after school.

In reality, all the shop owners on the street knew Xingwang. If Ji Linqui couldn't accompany him after school, he would often go to the bookstore to do his homework, which wasn't a problem.

Since the opening of the bookstore last year until the Lunar New Year, all the exam preparation books for middle and high school subjects have been rearranged according to a ranking system developed by Don't Forget Bookstore.

This strategy was something Jiang Wang had learned from playing games in the past.

The TO (Top-Over) tier consisted of the highest-quality materials, essential for students nationwide, regardless of their school.

The T1 tier belonged to overall excellence, with only minor flaws, but they could still make annotations in the Excel document.

The T2 and T3 tiers were ranked accordingly, with the last category having poor sales and even worse content, so there was no need to stock up on those books.

Initially, when this task was assigned, the staff thought the boss was being too meticulous, believing that selecting books based on sales volume would suffice.

It wasn't until later that they realized the true value of this screening system.

— With this system in place, they could promptly classify and organize old books, update content, and reprint them.

When publishers came to promote new books, they could also compare them with different tiers to determine whether to stock them.

Indeed, the boss was the smartest one.

Once Jiang Wang had this system up and running smoothly, he had dedicated staff in the company helping with selecting and organizing questions for collections, one for 《Twelve Golden Volumes》 and the other for tutoring materials.

He then personally took Ji Linqui and several other employees to interview teachers. The younger generation could be contacted by phone uniformly, while many older teachers needed to be visited at their homes.
