Chapter Eighty-Eight: Andy Gets Killed

In the office, Andy quickly tapped on the keyboard on his notebook, the story of "Gossip Girl" has been written for more than a dozen chapters, and he wants to write the story of the first season as soon as possible, so that even if others are not in New York, the serialization will not be delayed.

In fact, as a newspaper that has been in operation for 20 years, the boss plays a very small role in the newspaper, and there are few places to intervene, and Andy has always believed that professional things are handled by professional people. He would never do that kind of thing for a layman to lead an insider, not only is it thankless, but it is also very likely to mess things up.

As for the loss of the newspaper, Andy did not care much, before the acquisition, he and Arthur Carter said that he had a complete future plan to get the newspaper out of the loss, not bragging.

But it needs to be injected first to build up the backward online version of the New York Observer.

Andy has seen the online version of The Observer, and it's almost funny that he has copied what was published in the print media onto the website. Originally, in the face of the challenges of the Internet, the witty and sarcastic writing style of "The Observer" in the past should be very easy to convert into an online version, rather than simply copying and pasting, which cannot but be said to have an important relationship with Arthur Carter himself, people do not want to make changes when they are old, and even stubbornly refuse to change, resulting in the newspaper entering the Internet era too slowly and in vain.

If you want to quickly gain a foothold in the Internet age, you can only go off the rails, and the "headline party" that will be hated by later generations will provide more explosive news information, replace text reports with pictures as much as possible, and create all kinds of street interviews, street experiments and candid special videos to erect the unique charm of the online version of "The Observer", so as to attract more readers and advertisements.

Well, these are just his own ideas, as for the viability, it needs to be studied and discussed in a meeting with the management of the newspaper.

Drip...

Andy stopped typing and reached out and pressed his hand on the answering machine that had been flashing red.

"Anne, what's the matter?"

"Boss, Editor-in-Chief Pete Kaplan wants to see you. ”

"Okay, let him in, and two cups of coffee, thank you. After saying that, he turned off the answering machine, shook the mouse and saved the file, Anne, as Arthur Carter's secretary, has been working very diligently and dutifully, Arthur hoped that Andy would not fire her before leaving.

Andy didn't have to replace Annie, and he didn't think about hiring a hot, good-looking stunner secretary, after all, he wouldn't stay at the newspaper for a long time, Annie had been working in the secretary position for a long time, and she was familiar with all aspects, so he agreed to Arthur Carter's request without the slightest hesitation.

This made Annie, who thought she would be adjusted to another position or be fired directly, so excited that she almost cried, after all, the boss's secretary has a good salary and is not tired from work, and Anne, who is already a mother of two children, is very afraid of losing her job.

Pete Kaplan pushed the door and walked in, his expression was a little anxious, Andy looked at him, smiled and asked, "What's wrong Pete, looking at your anxious appearance, could it be that there is some big news outside?"

"Ahem, boss, the biggest news in New York right now is the takeover of the newspaper, and the corridor outside the newspaper's office is crowded with reporters, all trying to interview you. Pete Kaplan almost didn't choke to death, the corridors were full, and the newspaper employees would be surrounded by reporters when they came in and out, which was too much to affect the work, and there was no choice but to come to the boss, hoping that he would go out for an interview and let those reporters leave as soon as possible.

"Hehe, I'm not going to be interviewed, it's not time yet, besides, these reporters don't have enough weight... Well, you come forward for an interview. Andy said with a smile, seeing that Pete Kaplan wanted to refuse, he continued to grow: "That's it, I'm sure you can handle it." Looks like you'll have to come back for coffee again, hehe. ”

"I... All right. Pete Kaplan had no choice but to stand up and leave Andy's office, complaining in his heart: "Since you don't want to be interviewed, why do you have to release the news of the acquisition yourself, hey, the reporters outside are really a headache, and the questions are not easy to answer." Yes, you must think about it before you say it, don't say the wrong thing when the time comes, and let the boss hold a grudge... ”

Andy shook his head and smiled, knowing that it was a bit unauthentic for him to let Pete block the gun, but who made him the boss, besides, he had already received a call from his father Auston, and what made him helpless was that his father had already given him an interview, and it was also the first time he had faced a reporter since he crossed over, no way, the other party was a bit big.

Originally, even if the other party was famous, Andy could not have liked him at all, but he couldn't stand his father's betrayal, and they all said that the Celestial Empire was a humane society, and it couldn't do anything without the network, and the same is true in the United States, what is a connection? As an old political family, the network is naturally very wide, which does not need to be repeated, and it is also someone else's network, everyone is mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial, and only by helping each other can they form a network.

At the beginning, when he heard the other party's name, Andy's head was big, Ma's, this is a standard pit son.

Andrew Sorkin, a gold medal reporter for the New York Times, has always been known for asking tricky and direct questions, and in his interviews, you don't have to think about being in a happy mood at all, he will ask whatever is embarrassing.

The people he interviewed were all well-known. Usually, politicians want to be interviewed by him, and he really doesn't necessarily agree, except for scandals. Well, it was too late for people to hide from him at that time.

Andy also knew that he had seen a contest with Daddy Ma at the Davos Forum in his previous life. Ma's father's eloquence is not blown, and the character who can fool people and be lame will naturally not scare him, and the verbal battles between you and me are extremely exciting.

No way, Andrew Solkin is also a republican DANG, and he is a hardcore, and has a good relationship with the Smith family, the phone call to Auston, he agreed for his son without the slightest hesitation, anyway, it is not him who is uncomfortable, he is going to run for Congress, although it is an election year, but it can't be taken lightly, the advertorial of the "New York Times" is 10,000 times stronger than the "Observer"...

What do you say? The black history of the son?

Andy's rise to fame at a young age shows that his education was successful and that he was an excellent father. As for the black history ... At that time, Andy was already an adult, he could already take responsibility for his actions, and he had nothing to do with Mao, besides, who hasn't had an embarrassing past, it's good for the prodigal son to turn back.

As for the scars that were revealed... Auston could only shrug his shoulders indifferently, begging for more blessings, men have to be cruel to themselves!, isn't it?

If Andy knew what his unscrupulous father really thought, he would definitely vomit blood in anger. He sighed, took a sip of his coffee, and prepared to continue writing a novel.

Buzz...

The mobile phone on the table kept vibrating, and Andy smiled bitterly, it seems that there is no way to write with peace of mind today.

After looking at it, he immediately picked it up and asked respectfully, "Grandpa, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you feeling okay lately?"

"Haha, stinky boy, you know it's been a long time, why don't you come and see me?" Old Smith's barrage of questions embarrassed Andy, but fortunately, this embarrassment was quickly dispelled by Old Smith's words of relief.

"Andy, well done! The downturn of the previous years has not allowed me to sink, but has become more mature, and I am very pleased, worthy of the Smith family. Your dad told me about your performance in the morning, it was amazing, it was amazing, Arthur's stubborn old man was persuaded by you, it was really unexpected... ”

It is definitely an extremely happy thing to be praised by his relatives and admit it, even if Andy has not met this grandfather of this congressman, he is still very happy and not modest, "Thank you, I just did what I could, and in the end it was the beautiful knife that moved him." ”

"Hehe, you stinky boy, Arthur is not short of money... Okay, I'm just calling to congratulate you, do it well, "The Observer" is a high-quality asset, although it is only a regional newspaper, but its influence and credibility are not possessed by many newspapers, 20 years of consistent neutrality, it is really commendable, even the "New York Times" has broken out of the scandal of fake news, not to mention some other tabloids, run it well, it will make you get the friendship and respect of many people. Old Smith leaned back in the boss's chair in his office and smiled kindly.

"I see, grandpa, you said so much, you don't want me to let the newspaper write an advertorial for Republican dang in the future, right?" Andy laughed jokingly.

"Hahaha, stinky boy! No, at least not now, it's Manhattan! The celebrities of the Upper East Side value interests, of course, public opinion will affect many things, and maintaining neutrality is what the Observer should do, as long as it does not touch the mainstream values, its status will become more and more important, and when it is necessary to write an advertorial, the value and role it plays is huge... Okay, I know you hate politics, but it's the foundation of our Smith family, and I don't force you to enter politics, but I can't stay away from it like your uncle. Old Smith smiled heartily and told Andy his opinion, just thinking of Andy's rejection of politics and his eldest son who disappointed him, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Don't talk about that, old George called me yesterday, and he has a lot of respect for your girlfriend Vanka, and praises her for her elegance and grandeur. I read her information, she is indeed an excellent woman, both in appearance and knowledge, and the most important thing is that there is no chaotic private life, very cultivated, although the family lacks heritage, but it is not a problem, it is very suitable to be your wife... ”

Andy was still listening to old Smith's teachings very carefully, but as he listened, the topic came to the issue of his wife, and Andy immediately interrupted his grandfather's self-talk, "Grandpa, we are just in love, I am only 21 years old, I will not get married so early... ”
