In the building of the "Oriental Daily", Tian Guangzheng was standing respectfully in Ma Chengkun's office at this time, telling in detail the 'facts' that happened in front of him a few days ago.

And Ma Chengkun was looking down at the "Ming Pao" placed on the table, and what caught his eye was Jin Yong's comment.

Next to it are several issues of "Jiuding Daily" collected by Tian Guang, and each issue has turned to the novel section where "Looking for Qin" is published.

At this time, Ma Chengkun's face was expressionless, but Tian Guang felt that the temperature of the entire office seemed to drop a little.

“...... At that time, I listened to Wu Neng say a few words, and I felt that this "Xun Qin Ji" should be good, and I wanted to ask again, but Wu Neng had already said that he would reject the draft, and I hadn't read it, so it was not good to redeem it, I missed the opportunity, boss, I was at fault. ”

"Moreover, I also checked, the owner of "Jiuding Daily" and the author of "Xun Qin" are the same person, I heard that because there was no way to publish a novel, I simply bought a newspaper to publish the novel. Tian Guang said respectfully, and after speaking, he stopped speaking, stood in a regular manner and stopped making sounds, and even breathed as lightly as possible.

After listening to Tian Guang's words, Ma Chengkun did not express his opinion, and continued to read the newspaper "Xun Qin Ji" without raising his head.

"Rustling ......"

"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"

For a moment, the only sound in the office could be heard reading newspapers and fingers tapping on the desk.

As time passed, Ma Chengkun's face began to become gloomy, and his fingers tapped the table a little faster.

Then, Ma Chengkun raised his head and glanced at Tian Guang, which made Tian Guang feel like he was being seen through.

"I won't be caught by the boss about my thoughts, right?"

Tian Guang couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his heart was beating faster, his forehead was sweating unconsciously, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes looked at the floor, and he didn't dare to look at the boss Ma Chengkun, for fear of ushering in the boss's thunderous anger.

He hadn't forgotten what kind of person his boss was.

It can only be said that in order to pit Wu Neng, Tian Guang also took a big risk, if it weren't for the resentment against Wu Neng in his heart, Tian Guang really didn't have the courage to tell the boss, and he also added fuel to report the 'facts'.

Fortunately, it didn't usher in the thunderous wrath of the boss.

"Very good, if there is anything to report to the top in time, it is not your fault that you didn't leave "Xun Qin Ji", you have to pay more attention in the future, you go out first, and call Wu Neng in for me." Ma Chengkun said lightly.

"Okay, boss!" Tian Guang said immediately, and then carefully exited the office and closed the door gently.

After going out, Tian Guang let out a sigh of relief, wiped his forehead and muttered softly: "I'm scared to death, but fortunately, the boss is not angry." ”

"It's just, Wu Neng, the boss is not angry with me, then you will have to bear it, hehe!" A sneer appeared at the corner of Tian Guang's mouth, and he thought secretly in his heart.

After Tian Guang went out, Ma Chengkun's face became hideous and very scary.

Tian Guang can see the things, how can Ma Chengkun, an old Jianghu, not see it?

Moreover, he knew that "Xun Qin" was a much greater threat to "Oriental Daily".

Because Jin Yong sealed the pen and "Ming Pao" was constantly infiltrating the field of high-level intellectuals, it relaxed its operation at the grassroots level, and "Oriental Daily" seized the opportunity to encircle the grassroots.

Because the cultural quality is relatively low, I can't understand those deep-seated things, and the best way to attract grassroots readers is interesting news and novels, which is why Ma Chengkun paid a high price to receive the manuscript.

It's just that I never thought that the money was spent, and I didn't receive a good book, but I turned away "Looking for Qin", which even Jin Yong was optimistic about.

If it was simply a pity for a good book, and "Looking for Qin" was also buried, Ma Chengkun would not be very angry.

It's just that this "Xun Qin Ji", which was rejected by his own family, turned out to be "Jiuding Daily", and "Jiuding Daily" also had a strong impact on "Oriental Daily", and in just a few days, the sales of "Oriental Daily" fell steadily, and yesterday it fell again, with a total sales of less than 160,000 copies, only 158,000 copies, compared with the peak period, it has dropped by more than 10,000 copies, this situation was also known by his father, and he was told by his father yesterday, which made Ma Chengkun's mood very bad.

And today I learned even worse news, "Jiuding Daily's "Xun Qin Ji" was recommended by Jin Yong, and it is completely foreseeable that the sales of "Jiuding Daily" will soar again.

Originally, of the four factors analyzed by Li Nan yesterday, the third influencing factor was the weakest, after all, no matter how good "Xun Qin" was, it had only been serialized for a few days, and it was only a few tens of thousands of words, and the support for the sales of "Jiuding Daily" was small after all.

It's just that now with Kim Yong's assist, this situation will change drastically.

Of course, this is not what makes Ma Chengkun the most angry, what makes him angry is Tian Guang's last paragraph.

It was because "Xun Qin" was rejected that he had to buy his own newspaper to serialize, which led to the emergence of "Jiuding Daily".

Although he didn't know whether what Tian Guang said was true or not, Ma Chengkun already believed most of it in his heart, because reason told him that this situation was very likely to be true.

Thinking that there was one more opponent for no reason, and "Oriental Daily" would be impacted again, Ma Chengkun's heart was full of anger, and he had the heart to kill.

And the reason for all this is because his own editor Wu Neng has no eyes!

......

At this time, in the original office, Wu Nengzheng, the middle-aged editor who rejected Xia Yu's manuscript, was sitting on a stool with blank eyes, and it was "Ming Pao" and "Jiuding Daily" on the table that were placed on the table.

Apparently he also saw Jin Yong's comments, and also recognized the book "Xun Qin Ji".

After all, although a large number of manuscripts had to be reviewed every day during this time, Xia Yu also left some impressions in his heart, of course, this impression was a bad impression.

He found out yesterday that the "Xun Qin Ji" on the "Jiuding Daily" was the one that he rejected and threw away as garbage, of course, he was scared into a cold sweat after seeing it, of course he understood what it meant.

After yesterday's meeting, he didn't dare to breathe, and when he heard the four analyses said by Minister of Information Li Nan, he was even more worried.

He also thought about it last night, and when he rejected the manuscript that day, there was only one Tian Guang sitting next to him, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't seem to say anything, and Tian Guang hadn't read the manuscript, so he shouldn't know that the rejected book was "Xun Qin Ji".

It's just that he doesn't know why, he is always a little uneasy in his heart, after all, he has done something bad and has had an impact on the newspaper. But he can't help it, he can only pray that the boss won't know.

It's just a pity that after he bought "Ming Pao" as usual, when he saw Jin Yong's comment, his mind suddenly exploded, and he became depressed early in the morning.

Now, he had been sitting in his chair for half an hour, not doing anything, and his mind was in chaos, with regret, worry, fear, and other emotions filling his mind.

At this moment, Tian Guang walked in and said casually: "Brother Wu, the boss has something to do with you." ”

After Tian Guang finished speaking, he found that Wu Neng was still indifferent, as if he was distracted, he raised his eyebrows, his eyes glanced at Wu Neng's desktop, and after seeing that it was "Ming Pao", the corners of his mouth hooked up a hint of a smile, but immediately disappeared again, and shouted in a louder voice again.

"Brother Wu, Brother Wu, the boss asked you to go to his office. ”

"Huh?" Wu Neng was awakened, and after hearing Tian Guang's words, his face changed in an instant, and he shouted out in some panic.

"Go ahead, don't keep the boss waiting. Tian Guang said again.

"I can't really be found out by the boss, right? What should I do?" Wu Neng thought subconsciously.

People who have done bad things are always afraid of ghosts knocking on the door!

"Gollum. Wu Neng swallowed his saliva, then squeezed out a smile and asked Tian Guang, "Xiao Tian, do you know what the boss is looking for me?"

"I don't know, I also happened to pass by in the boss's office, and the boss asked me to call you. Go ahead, don't keep the boss waiting. Tian Guang said with a puzzled expression.

"Okay. Wu Neng smiled reluctantly, then lifted his heavy legs and walked towards the boss's office.

Looking at Wu Neng's heavy back, a sneer crossed the corner of Tian Guang's mouth, and a sense of revenge arose.
