Zhang Ailing's visit made Huo Yaowen, who had been delayed for a day, have to postpone his trip to the UK again because of another matter.

Yaowen Book Publishing Company.

Yan Qingshu said apologetically: "The president is sorry to delay your trip to the UK." ”

"Don't get in the way, without you calling, I'm going to delay it for a day. Huo Yaowen shook his head with a smile, looked at the telegram from Aoki Publishing House on the table, glanced at it, frowned and said, "Didn't we discuss this matter before?"

Yao Wenjie said worriedly: "Yes, but the Taiwan side has issued a ban on any books from the Hong Kong University Press to be published in Taiwan, and Aoki's editor-in-chief Fang knows your relationship with the Hong Kong University Press, so he specially sent this telegram, asking the general manager to resign from the position of president as soon as possible!"

"What kind of ban has been officially issued?" When he agreed to help Bao Tianxiao publish "The Continuation of the Memoirs of the Shadow Building" at the end of last year, Huo Yaowen took this aspect into account, but it was published for more than two months, and although it was sold averagely, only a few thousand copies, he didn't think that Taiwan Culture really issued a ban.

Yao Wenjie shook his head, "That's not true, after all, it's not a glorious thing, but the editor-in-chief Fang said that he said hello to all the publishing houses over there, and he is not allowed to have any cooperation with the HKU Press." ”

Yan Qingshu sighed and said: "Mr. Bao also knows about this, and I originally wanted to come over in person to apologize to President Huo, but he fell not long ago, and his body was a little weak, so I didn't let him come." ”

"Bao Lao fell, how is his body now?" Huo Yaowen asked with concern.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that when people are old, it's always bad to fall on their heels, and the doctor also advises them to rest at home. ”

Huo Yaowen said: "Editor-in-chief Yan, you accompany me to see Bao Lao in the afternoon." ”

"What about this?" Yan Qingshu pointed to the telegram on the table.

"Since I agreed to Bao Lao Publishing, I naturally have the bottom of my heart, and now that you have been the editor-in-chief of the HKU Press for a few months, you should know very well that the business of the publishing house is only in Hong Kong. Editor-in-Chief Fang asked me to resign, then I will resign, anyway, I rarely manage the publishing house on weekdays, and I ask you to help manage it. Let's talk about the fact that after the publishing house is listed, in addition to the internal affairs of the publishing house, there are many complicated things outside. Instead of keeping you busy like this, it's better to pick someone else to be the president. ”

Hearing what the general manager said, Yao Wenjie glanced at Yan Qingshu, who was a little self-blaming, and couldn't help but smile and said with relief: "The general manager is right, he rarely cares about the affairs of the publishing house on weekdays, and even when he comes over the company, he just looks at the formalities, so why change the president?"

"Haha, it's still Editor-in-Chief Yao who knows me!" Huo Yaowen laughed when he listened to his jokes, it doesn't matter if he is not the president, and if he is not right, there will be more benefits, and if he wants to take back the shares of the publishing house in the future, he is really embarrassed to have this identity.

Yan Qingshu saw that Huo Yaowen said this, although he still blamed himself a little, but he was much better, but he was not the president and lost his salary.

In the afternoon, the two followed behind Yan Qingshu and went to visit Bao Tianxiao. Facing Bao Lao, who was lying on the bed with a guilty face, Huo Yaowen was relieved for a while, and said that it was nothing serious, which made the old man feel a little better.

After staying at Mr. Bao's house for half an hour, Huo Yaowen got up and before leaving, Mr. Bao said to Yan Qingshu in order to express his apologies: "Qingshu, go to the study and help me bring the painting!"

"Painting?" Huo Yaowen glanced at Bao Lao suspiciously.

Yan Qingshu was also a little confused and asked, "What painting?"

Bao Lao said: "It's the landscape picture of Xu Beihong." ”

Xu Beihong!!

Huo Yaowen's eyes widened, and he was a little surprised.

It wasn't until Yan Qingshu brought over the scroll that he had collected in the study that he came back to his senses, thinking that this bag of old men actually had Zhang Daqian's paintings.

Bao Lao touched the scroll and said: "Huo Sheng, this landscape map is what I brazenly asked Zhang Daqian for 37 years, and I am also carefully maintained on weekdays, and the condition is still intact, so I will give it to Huo Sheng today." ”

"This, how can this be made!" Huo Yaowen hurriedly refused, joking that just by Xu Beihong's name, he could expect that this painting was worth a lot of money.

Bao Tianxiao frowned and said, "What's wrong with this, isn't it just a painting?"

Huo Yaowen shook his head: "Since Bao Lao is well maintained, he likes this painting in his heart, how can I win people's love!"

"Qingshu help me up!" Seeing that he didn't agree, Bao Tianxiao said to Yan Qingshu.

"Yes. Yan Qingshu stepped forward to help, and Huo Yaowen and Yao Wenjie followed.

The four of them went to the study together, Bao Tianxiao spread out the picture scroll, Huo Yaowen went up to see that it was a standard landscape map, he couldn't see whether it was good or not, but the painting was extremely full of meaning.

Look closely, there is a small couplet in the lower left corner: "Shanghai Spring and Autumn Autumn and Autumn, Mirage Building." There is a red chapter at the bottom, which is written on July 13, 1937, as a gift to Brother Xiaoxiao, Xu Beihong's pen.

This couplet is written by Bao Tianxiao, "Shanghai Spring and Autumn" and "Mirage".

At this time, Yan Qingshu had already polished the ink, Bao Tianxiao hunched his back, lifted the brush, dipped it in some ink, and wrote in the lower left corner: "Countless joys and sorrows, unexplained love and hatred. On January 28, 1971, he gave Huo Xiaoyou a smile pen.

After writing, he picked up the seal on the desk that had followed him for decades, pressed it and wiped it in the ink, and then stamped it on his name, and the clearly visible seal was "Master of Kushikage Building".

"Huo Sheng, you should accept it!" Bao Tianxiao laughed, but immediately coughed again.

"This ......" Huo Yaowen hesitated.

Seeing that Bao Tianxiao insisted on giving it away, Huo Yaowen told the truth, he was still a little greedy in his heart, not the value of this painting, after all, when he went to the mainland in a few years, what kind of treasure did he want to beg for?

After repeated refusals, he finally accepted the painting and promised Bao Lao that he would take good care of it.

As soon as I got home, I locked it in the safe I bought before, thinking that I would find a professional to teach me how to maintain the scroll in a few days.

dragged on for two or three days, and early the next morning, Huo Yaowen bought a ticket with his suitcase and flew directly to the UK, he was really afraid that something would delay the trip.

On the other hand, Zhang Ailing is still reluctant to let go for a long time, she always thinks that Huo Yaowen is the most suitable candidate, but she also knows that Huo Yaowen's identity is impossible to make movies, so when looking for actors with Li Xing, she always looks for them according to Huo Yaowen's standards.

After seven or eight days, I also met a lot of actors, such as Jiang Dawei, Xie Xian, Guan Shan, Wang Yu and many other well-known Hong Kong actors, but they are either as strong as they are all making martial arts films, or they are more than heroic and not elegant.

Originally, Zhang Ailing wanted to go to Huo Yaowen and ask him if he had any good suggestions and candidates, but when she arrived at the Huo family mansion in Wota, she heard from the maid inside that Huo Yaowen had gone to the UK, so she had to return in vain.

In the end, I chose to choose, and I didn't give the choice of the actor, but the heroine has a little eyebrows, there are three best candidates, the first is Zhen Zhen, the second is Chen Baozhu, and the third is Shen Zhihua, all three of them are beautiful and graceful, wearing cheongsam and makeup, they have their own oriental beauty. The rest of the candidates include the baby-faced Feng Baobao, Taiwan's Wang Ling, Jiang Qing, etc.
