Xiangjiang Chai Wan, Ming Pao headquarters.

Inside an office with a Chinese décor.

Kim is working at his desk with a pile of papers, and since the closure of his pen, he has devoted himself to the newspaper and has been busy.

"Knock knock. There was a knock at the door.

"Come in. ”

Shen Baoxin came in and closed the door casually, walked in front of Kim Yong Kim, and sat down directly.

He is a shareholder of the company and a veteran of the company, and Ming Pao was founded together with Kim Yong Kim, plus he is a close friend, so even if Kim Yong is his boss in the company, he is usually more casual.

"What's the matter?" asked Kim as he looked up when he saw that his old friend was a little different from usual.

Shen Baoxin smiled: "The information you want has been found." ”

With that, he handed over a document.

Kim took it and looked at it carefully.

"How's that?" asked Shen Baoxin.

Kim seemed a little surprised by the contents of the document and asked, "Are you sure?"

"En!" Shen Baoxin nodded and confirmed: "Our people have seen him appear in Huixing Daily several times, and there has been a telephone contact between his family and the newspaper, which took me a lot of favor to find out from the Xiangjiang Telephone Company!"

Kim said, "That's not ironclad evidence, is it?"

Shen Baoxin said with a smile: "It's not to solve the case, why do you need so much ironclad evidence, and the Delan Middle School in Kowloon seems to have been circulating before the newspaper serialized, and this Xu Zhi's sister happens to be in this school." ”

Kim Yong nodded, so many coincidences should mean that they have found the true author of Iron Blood.

Kim Yong Kim, the chairman of the newspaper, spends most of his time thinking about the company's strategic policies, except for the occasional interest in reading the novels his newspaper has received.

But at a high-level meeting the other day, a manager reported that a newspaper in Kowloon had sprung up and its sales had skyrocketed. At first, he didn't care, but when he said that he had made progress through a novel, he suddenly became interested.

After the meeting, Jin Yong arranged for the secretary to find a complete novel.

Huixing's newspaper is not a collectible, and after reading it, it is basically thrown away, and if you think it looks good, you will read it a few times and then throw it away, after all, no one wants to make it black.

The secretary mobilized seven or eight people, ran for a long time to collect the newspaper from the first edition to the latest edition, and hurriedly handed it over to the boss.

After reading it, Kim immediately fell in love and arranged for Shen Baoxin to investigate the identity of the author.

But when he looked at the profile in front of him, Kim felt that the world seemed to have changed suddenly, and that a secondary school student could write a wonderful novel at any time.

Shen Baoxin saw Kim Yong Yong's strange expression and smiled: "What else are you more surprised by?"

Kim was curious, "What else?"

Shen Baoxin replied: "This Xu Zhi actually came to our newspaper about a month ago, but the novel was rejected because it did not meet our requirements. ”

After listening to Shen Baoxin's explanation, Kim Yong nodded and sighed, "It's a pity!"

However, Kim Yong Yong does not blame the people who missed the opportunity in the first place, the rules are set by the company, and the people below are just enforcing them.

Shen Baoxin asked, "Do you want to send someone to reconnect?"

Kim Yong Kim waved his hand and smiled: "No, we have already rejected it, and if you take the initiative to contact you, you will be disadvantaged." Besides, it's just a good short story, and if it can be like this in the future, then it's a talent. I guess you can find out about him, I think other media should be about the same, when he has a little fame, if you take the initiative to contact us, you can consider signing him, if not, you can't let you and me take the initiative to meet him. ”

"Yes, I became famous as a teenager, but I don't know if I can continue to write better novels?" Shen Baoxin sighed.

.................

Kim was right to speculate, the media in Xiangjiang noticed the new novel, a newspaper that sold thousands of dollars a day, and the sales of one more novel immediately skyrocketed several times, and the quality of the novel gradually reached a climax as the plot progressed, and after the reputation spread, even some of the old newspapers that were first published became sought-after.

Lin Wenzhou also noticed this situation, and hurriedly ordered the printing of 10,000 more copies of the previous newspaper, and the market was barely satisfied.

However, Lin Wenzhou also quickly got the information, a large number of people have already begun to ask the true identity of the author of the iron-blooded Tianjiao, this is not a big secret, that is, within Huixing Daily, most people also know Xu Zhi, and if they really want to investigate, they can't hide it at all.

Soon, Xu Zhi received a call from Lin Wenzhou.

"It's over!" This was Xu Zhi's first thought after receiving Lin Wenzhou's call.

It won't really be over, but don't think about peace during this time.

Knowing Xu Zhi's identity, it is easy for a reporter with a vast number of powers to find a place to live.

As expected, within a few hours, there was a knock on the door.

Even if he didn't want to pay attention to these people, Xu Zhi was afraid that they wouldn't find him, and instead harass his parents, which would outweigh the losses.

"Hello, is it Xu Sheng, the author of Iron and Blood Tianjiao?" Xu Zhigang opened the door, and the young man outside the door asked with a smile.

Zhao Deyuan is a small reporter at Oriental Daily, who often interviews some small things in the community, and his life is relaxed but boring. Just this morning, he was just about to leave when he was stopped by the leader and gave himself the task of interviewing a new writer to learn about it.

Although he is only a new writer, he is more or less famous, and he is also a good interviewee.

Seeing that there was only one person on the other side, Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Yes." Are you?"

A person's interview actually said that he didn't attach much importance to it, Xu Zhi was a little disappointed, he didn't want to be annoyed, but whether he was willing or not and whether he had two feelings.

Zhao Deyuan said with a smile: "I'm Zhao Deyuan, a reporter from Oriental Daily, I don't know if I can interview Xu Sheng for a few questions?"

Xu Zhidao: "Okay, there's a tea restaurant downstairs, let's go over there!"

Go to the tea restaurant for an interview, the grade is a bit low, but cafes are not popular in Kowloon, and there are a lot of them in Central.

"Good. Zhao Deyuan nodded in agreement, just asked a few words, the place didn't matter.

Tea Restaurant:

The two of them each ordered a drink, and the interview began.

Zhao Deyuan: "I don't know how Xu Sheng came up with the idea of writing the story of Iron Blood Tianjiao?"

Xu Zhi: "It's nothing, that is, I used to love reading Kim's novels, and then I tried to write my own." ”

Zhao Deyuan: "Then I don't know what difficulties are in the process of writing the book?"

Xu Zhi: "Fortunately, it's just that the level of literature is a little insufficient, so I often read more books." ”

..............

Zhao Deyuan: "Last question, we already know that Iron Blood Tianjiao is just a short story, the plot is not long, and it is about to end, I wonder if Xu Sheng plans to write another one?"

Xu Zhi: "I don't plan another book for the time being, but the follow-up plot will be written." ”

Zhao Deyuan heard the news and asked, "Xu Sheng means that there will be a sequel to the novel?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "No, to be precise, the current iron-blooded Tianjiao is just a prequel, and the name of the novel in the text is (Kunlun)." ”

PS: The outline of this book has been prepared, and the follow-up will only be a matter of update speed, and there will be no interruptions or anything, everyone is actively investing!
