Don?

Jinling Spring Dream?

When Yao Wenjie spit out these two words, Huo Yaowen's memory suddenly went back to when he was in college, when he was once obsessed with a huge book, and that book was "Jinling Spring Dream".

This book "Jinling Spring Dream" is divided into eight episodes and 320 chapters, with a chapter of 2.3 million words, writing about Chang Kaishen's life in the mainland, from his rise to his downfall, to Taiwan, and until he continued his dream.

The eight episodes are "Zheng Sanfazi", "Ten Years of Civil War", "Eight Years of War of Resistance", "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood", "Before and After Peace Talks", "Taiwan Storm", "Three Major Battles" and "The Great River Goes East".

At that time, after the publication of the first episode of "Jinling Spring Dream", it quickly became popular throughout Hong Kong, and overseas newspapers and periodicals rushed to publish it, and people asked who the "Tang people" were, and Yan Qingshu achieved unprecedented success.

At the same time, "Jinling Spring Dream" was also the only Hong Kong book allowed to be published in the mainland at that time.

When he was in college, Huo Yaowen was very obsessed with this book, especially the content of the first episode of "Zheng Sanfazi", which not only told Chang Kaishen's birth, but also confused and didn't know whether it was true or false, which made him fascinated by it, but unfortunately, he didn't read the full version, or couldn't find the original version.

It's not that this book has been deleted, but the content of the eighth episode of "Da Jiangdong Go", Yan Qingshu was not very satisfied with the rewrite later, but he couldn't complete it due to serious illness, and until he passed away, the new eighth episode didn't write much content, and later Beijing Publishing House helped complete the rest of the content.

But three-quarters of the content of the new edition is ghostwritten, Huo Yaowen reads the ghostwriting part, overturning the original content before the rewrite, at that time the Internet has not fully developed, plus he has found a lot of used bookstores but has not found it, has been sighing pity, and later after graduating from college, because he was busy with his livelihood, he gradually forgot about this book.

In addition to this "Jinling Spring Dream" and the sequel of more than 300,000 words "The Remnant Dream of the Grass Mountain", Yan Qingshu also wrote "The Romance of the Beiyang Warlords", "Song Meiling's Most of His Life", "The Secret Record of Empress Jiang" and many other books.

He is a rare prolific writer in Hong Kong, and since "Jinling Spring Dream", he has written seventy or eighty dramas and film scripts in the past 30 years. There are also many pen names, in addition to the Tang people, there are about 40 such as Ruan Lang, Yan Kai, Jiang Xingyu, Gao Shanke, Luo Feng, Tao Ben, Zhang Bi, Caoshan Shangren, and Jinya Kuiyi.

As soon as Huo Yaowen thought of this, he glanced at Yao Wenjie and asked curiously, "Do you know Mr. Yan?"

Yao Wenjie said with a smile: "Well, when he was the editor of the supplement of Ta Kung Pao in Shanghai in his early years, we already knew each other and were old friends. ”

"Hmmm......"

Fok Yaowen muttered: "Mr. Yan, is he willing to be the editor-in-chief of the HKU Press?"

Don't look at the position and power of the editor-in-chief, but compared with Yan Qingpeng, a well-known writer, the salary is not a little bit worse, plus writers' writing is a very time-consuming thing, and the editor-in-chief is also quite busy, so Huo Yaowen doesn't know if people are willing to do it.

"I guess I want to......"

Yao Wenjie didn't dare to guarantee the vote on this matter, after all, he was not Yan Qingpeng, but he knew a little bit about Yan Qingpeng's situation recently, because he seemed to have fallen into a bottleneck in writing, and resigned from the job of editor-in-chief of "New Evening News" two years ago, and the economic situation may not be too good.

Huo Yaowen saw that Yao Wenjie seemed to be a little confident, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you can help contact Mr. Yan and ask him if he would like to take up the position of editor-in-chief of HKU Press." ”

"Okay chairman. Yao Wenjie responded with a smile.

After he went out, Huo Yaowen remembered what Lao Dou Huo Chengcai said last night, and after thinking about it, he picked up the phone on the table and broadcast a string of numbers.

Soon, the phone was connected, and Luo Qiaozhen's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey?"

Huo Yaowen took the microphone and said, "It's me, Huo Yaowen." ”

Luo Qiaozhen was stunned: "You came back from the United States?"

"Well, I just arrived last night. Huo Yaowen replied and asked, "Director Luo, do you know the phone number of Councillor Chen of the Kowloon Tong Municipal Council who came to my banquet last time?"

"Councilor Chen?"

Luo Qiaozhen thought for a while, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "Is it Chen Yanxin?"

"Yes, that's him. Huo Yaowen responded.

Speaking of which, Huo Yaowen, a Justice of the Peace, is very unqualified, not only did he not remember the number of Chen Yanxin, an official member of the Kowloon Tong City Council, but he also did not have the phone number of the police commissioner in his jurisdiction.

Luo Qiaozhen didn't ask Huo Yaowen what he wanted Chen Yanxin to do, but said, "You wait, I'll look for it." ”

There was a sparse sound from the microphone that seemed to be turning over the bag, and Huo Yaowen also waited patiently.

Soon, Luo Qiaozhen picked up the microphone and read: "This is the number of Chen Yanxin's office, I will report it to you." ”

"Good. ”

“68……”

Huo Yaowen held the microphone between his shoulders, picked up an automatic oil pen on the table, and began to write it down on a newspaper on the table, which was only six digits in total, and he remembered it quickly.

Luo Qiaozhen asked, "Did you write it down?"

"Well, I've written it down, I'll hang up first. Huo Yaowen said.

"Wait!"

Luo Qiaozhen hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry to hang up the phone, I still have something to look for you here!"

"What's the matter?" Huo Yaowen put down his pen and put the microphone to his ear to listen carefully.

Luo Qiaozhen said: "The boss of Hexingtang called two days ago, saying that he invited you to attend the charity gala they held, and also said that he would donate a batch of white flower oil to our foundation. ”

"White flower oil?"

Huo Yaowen frowned, he had used Xingtang's white flower oil, and its main effects were similar to wind oil essence, both of which were to relieve headaches and refresh the mind, and the effect of repelling insects, but the white flower oil smelled a little better.

In Hong Kong, white flower oil is more popular than wind oil essence, and almost every family will have a bottle, which can be said to be a must-have medicine for home travel.

But what he couldn't understand was, how could anyone think of donating a batch of white flower oil to his charity education foundation?!

Although it feels a little funny, since the people of Hexingtang are willing to donate white flower oil, Huo Yaowen can't do it, he must accept it in full, he replied: "Okay, since the people of Hexingtang invited me to hold a charity party and donated white flower oil to us, I should be there." When?"

Luo Qiaozhen smiled on the other end of the phone: "Coincidentally, it's tonight." ”

Huo Yaowen glanced at his watch, it was already past eleven o'clock at noon, and he said, "Okay, I know, I'll go to your foundation to find you at two o'clock in the afternoon." ”

"Hmm. Luo Qiaozhen responded.

After hanging up the phone, Huo Yaowen dialed the number of Chen Yanxin he had remembered before, and he coughed a few times while he was still in the blind voice.

"Hey, I'm Chen Yanxin, may I ask who you are?"

Huo Yaowen smiled and said, "Haha... Councillor Chen, I'm Fok Yiu-man, haven't been here lately?"

Chen Yanxin on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a few seconds, and probably didn't expect Huo Yaowen to call him, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Huo, since I met Mr. Huo at the last banquet, I have long wanted to ask you out for tea, but I have never found any good opportunities." ”

Huo Yaowen said: "Haha, Councilor Chen is the same as I thought, why don't you do this, is Mr. Chen free tomorrow? Let's go to Lianxianglou to drink tea." ”

Chen Yanxin hesitated for a few seconds, thought about it, and still agreed: "Since Mr. Huo invited, then see you at Lianxiang Building at eleven o'clock tomorrow morning?"

Huo Yaowen agreed: "Okay, then I'll see you at Lianxiang Building at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

After a few polite greetings, when the other end hung up the phone, Chen Yanxin put down the microphone while his brows were still locked.

More than a month ago, Chan attended a banquet hosted by Fok Yiu-man, mainly because he worked in the municipal department of Kowloon Tong, and it was inevitable that he would have to deal with JP Fok Yiu-man, who was appointed by the Governor, so he chose to get acquainted with one or two in the past. can

It is said that the two of them exchanged a few words at the banquet, and after getting to know each other, they never had too much friendship.

So he didn't understand how Huo Yaowen would ask himself out for tea for no reason?

Forget it, don't want to.

I don't understand, Chen Yanxin doesn't bother to think about these things, anyway, whether Huo Yaowen has something to ask him for help with, or if he has other problems, he will know tomorrow.

And to be honest, Chen Yanxin's heart still hopes that Huo Yaowen will find him for help, as an official member of the Municipal Council, his appointment as a member of the council will expire at the end of this year, and if he wants to continue to be re-elected, in addition to the support of the citizens in Kowloon Tong District, there are also some famous people to help.

If he can win the support of Fok Yiu-man, a famous writer in Hong Kong who has the JP medal, even if the other party only casually says something in support of him in the newspaper or when he is interviewed by reporters, Chen Yanxin feels that his possibility of re-election will be invisibly expanded a lot.
