Zhu Ziqing really didn't expect him and Liu Xiaoping to have such a relationship.

In fact, his first impression of Liu Xiaoping was not very good. I don't know if it's an illusion, he always feels that Liu Xiaoping is too impetuous, not like a person who can calm down and write.

Therefore, a few days ago, Xiao Jinguang came forward to ask Zhu Ziqing to meet on behalf of their senior brothers, but he shirked and didn't go. Now that he knows that others have been helping him speak, Zhu Ziqing is also quite embarrassed.

A thousand degrees of Liu Xiaoping's information, the encyclopedia defines him as: author, time critic. Then there's the bio. This is a very ordinary introduction, listing his various deeds. One of the most conspicuous sentences is 'the youngest disciple of Jia Qigong, the master of Chinese studies'.

However, Zhu Ziqing still found problems from this resume.

"Why did he only publish books in the first few years of his entry into the literary world, and the next ten years were all commentary on current affairs. Is this incomplete profile, or is there no work he has ever published?"

Zhu Ziqing suppressed his doubts and continued to look down. The answer was found quickly.

Liu Xiaoping, who has been in the literary world for four years, has published three works. Two collections of essays, one novel. caused a sensation in the literary world and was hailed as a rare genius in fifty years. However, he later went astray and entered the current evaluation circle to become a 'self-done five'. Spending a lot of time fighting with 'public knowledge' and 'cents', a talent is wasted. ”

Seeing this introduction, Zhu Ziqing finally understood why Master Jia Qigong was so unkind to him. More precisely, it was a kind of anger.

Looking through some of his comments, most of them are arguing with the 'cents' and 'public knowledge'. This reminded Zhu Ziqing of Zhou Xiaoping, a person in his previous life.

Zhou Xiaoping is an online writer, director, company CEO, and current critic. At the beginning, he was a quasi-'public knowledge', and later turned into a 'self-employed five' in time. From 'black' to 'blowing', he has attracted countless abuse.

The difference between the two people is that Zhou Xiaoping did not delay his career when he turned to 'Self-Doing Five' to publish a current commentary. He has also done a good job in his main business, and even received encouragement from President Xi. As for Liu Xiaoping, even his talent has been lost, and the master and apprentice are not in harmony.

"Liu Xiaoping? Isn't this the apprentice of Master Jia Qigong? How do you care about him? Tao Yingshuang walked in with a cup of tea, glanced at the computer screen, and said.

Now Tao Yingshuang has changed his sad appearance when he first met, and he seems to be full of spirits. "Little Beanie by the Window" has been the top seller for more than half a month, with a total sales of 760,000 copies. Let them not only earn enough money but also make a name for themselves.

"Little Doudou by the Window" can have such a high sales, in addition to Zhu Ziqing's own reasons, and the efforts of the publishing house are also inseparable.

When the novel is still unknown, it can be distributed all over the country. Not to mention a publishing house on the verge of bankruptcy, even many large publishing houses in China may not be able to do it. It can be seen how extensive Tao Yingshuang's connections are.

The first printing of 500,000 copies shows their courage. When they found out that the book was a phenomenal work, they reprinted it when there were still hundreds of thousands of copies in stock. Temporarily contacted the printing house to rush to work day and night. ensured that no matter how high the sales of the book were, there was never a shortage of supply.

And with a best-selling writer like Zhu Ziqing, it is foreseeable that the future of Tao Yingshuang's Silian Publishing House will be bright.

All these reasons add up to make this publishing house a star publishing house. Countless writers have listed it as one of the top choices for submission. There are also many writers who are not satisfied with the original publishing house and seek to change their doors...... The business department of Silian Publishing House has changed from the deserted scene in the past and has become the busiest department of the publishing house.

Tao Yingshuang, as the boss, is naturally very busy, going out early and returning late every day to negotiate business. But in the past two days, he has not gone out unusually, and he has circled around Zhu Ziqing every day. His purpose Zhu Ziqing naturally couldn't be clearer.

"The Devotion of Suspect X" has been serialized for five days, and it has shaken the entire mystery community. Taking advantage of this east wind, the Southern Metropolis Evening News not only gained a foothold in the demon capital, but even increased the sales of the base camp SZ City by 50 percentage points. After this data was released by a third-party statistical agency, it caused a sensation in the entire print media circle.

Tao Yingshuang left a thriving magazine but stayed at home, just for "The Dedication of Suspect X". To be precise, it is for its single book distribution rights. Zhu Ziqing only granted the serialization rights of the Southern Metropolis Evening News, and the distribution rights of the single book are still in his own hands. No one else knows this, but Tao Yingshuang knows it very well.

The Southern Metropolis Evening News is a regional newspaper covering only two provinces and cities. In other words, only readers in two provinces and cities can see this novel, and there are still more than 30 provinces and cities that readers are looking forward to. And many mystery enthusiasts also have a hobby of collecting classic works, so even these two provinces and cities can sell a lot.

As long as you are not stupid, you know that the single book of this novel is definitely a big seller, and you don't need to publicize it much, as long as it is printed, you can wait to count the money.

Tao Yingshuang is not stupid at all. In the past few days, his cat has been serving tea and pouring water at home, just for the right to distribute the single book of this novel. Maybe it's because I feel a little embarrassed to take advantage of this, so I haven't spoken.

In fact, he is also concerned about chaos. If you think about it a little, you know that with the relationship between Zhu Ziqing and Lin Baoer, the right to distribute the single book of this book will never fall into the hands of others.

It is rare to enjoy such considerate care, and Zhu Ziqing is also happy to pretend to be stupid. Not the slightest mention of it.

"The last time I saw him at Master Sun's place, I always felt that the name was familiar, but I couldn't remember it. Today I finally learned that he has been talking for me online. So get to know the person. Zhu Ziqing took the teacup from his hand, took a sip lightly, and said.

"Is that the time when Master Sun gave you the Tian Huang seal?"

When he mentioned the seal, Tao Yingshuang's eyes were red. Tian Huang Frozen Stone is also counted, although it is rare, but it is not difficult to get one with his family background and current financial resources.

The difficulty is that the words on that seal were written by Master Sun Shouqing himself. The workmanship is carved by hand by the master carver. That's the most valuable thing about this seal. It should be said that you can't buy it with money.

"Yes. At that time, I felt that this person was full of impetuousness and uncertainty. Today I finally know why. Zhu Ziqing nodded and said.

"You know one thing but you don't know the other. Tao Yingshuang shook his head and said with a straight face: "Liu Xiaoping was indeed a genius before, and I chased his books when I was young. So I know a little bit more about him. Most of the responsibility for his coming to this point lies on Dingshuang. ”

"Yu Dingshuang, "Cultural Journey"?"

"Yes, that's them. You have also heard of the grievances between "Cultural Journey" and Master Jia. When Liu Xiaoping first stepped into the literary world, it happened to be when Yu Dingshuang took over the magazine. At that time, Liu Xiaoping was young and talented, and his heart was arrogant. Before Master Jia and the others could make a move, they jumped out and became a pioneer. At the beginning, he single-handedly beat "Cultural Journey" without fighting back. ”

"But Yu Dingshuang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He shifted the battlefield from traditional media to online media. Using his familiarity with online media, he temporarily stabilized the situation. Then he found Liu Xiaoping's weakness again. took advantage of his enthusiasm and indignation, concocted a lot of black Chinese topics on the Internet, and induced Liu Xiaoping to criticize and argue. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Ziqing could roughly think of the follow-up development. There was a saying in the previous life: Spread rumors and open your mouth, refute rumors and break your legs. Liu Xiaoping refuted a question, and Yu Dingshuang and they could concoct ten hundred questions.

That's a big quagmire. If Liu Xiaoping can't recognize the reality in time and come out, he will only fall deeper and deeper and eventually be submerged. And now his situation is a testament to that.

"No wonder Master Jia Qigong hates "Cultural Journey" and Yu Dingshuang so much. Zhu Ziqing sighed.

Speaking of "Cultural Journey" and the grievances of Jia Qigong and others, it can be traced back to before the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, the country was invaded by foreign powers, and countless people with lofty ideals sought independence.

Ideologically, they are mainly divided into two factions. One faction advocates the complete study of the West. One faction advocates taking the traditional Chinese culture as the foundation, absorbing the essence of Western culture, and transforming the traditional Chinese culture.

In the end, of course, the latter won. But the former was not willing to fail, and founded many newspapers and magazines to promote his views. Later, the living space became smaller and smaller, and most of them went out of business. There is only one "Cultural Journey" left.

Moreover, at this time, "Cultural Journey" has also changed from advocating the West to introducing the West, and has become a window for China to understand the West.

Master Jia Qigong is the backbone of the reformists, and he has struggled with "Cultural Journey" all his life. This contradiction continues to this day.

Knowing what happened, Zhu Ziqing's impression of Liu Xiaoping completely changed. I am also ashamed of my misunderstandings. Fortunately, the excuse he made at the beginning was very convincing, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to meet them next time.

However, he still decided to contact Xiao Jinguang and make an appointment to come out to meet.

………………………………………………………………………

Just when Zhu Ziqing was trying to make up for his mistakes and have a good relationship with Liu Xiaoping. However, there was a 12-magnitude earthquake in the art world.

"The Palace Museum solemnly welcomed the latest work "Jiangnan" by Master Sun Shouqing into the museum at noon today. ”

"Master style: Chinese artist Master Sun Shouqing donated his priceless work "Jiangnan" to the Palace Museum free of charge. ”

"Three works by Master Sun Shouqing have been recognized as national treasures and restricted from leaving the country. ”

"Master Sun Shouqing......"

The fact that Master Sun Shouqing's works were recognized as national treasures was first circulated among some people in the circle and did not spread.

The first people to learn about this news were not stupid, they knew that once the news was announced, the price of Master Sun's works would go up. So I consciously concealed the news, just to make a time difference and buy as many works as possible before the news was announced.

It is not until today that the cultural relics authorities have officially announced the news. It is also today that Master Sun Shouqing donated this latest work, named "Jiangnan", to the Palace Museum.

The Palace Museum attaches great importance to this and not only held a grand entrance ceremony. It was also announced in public that this work would enjoy the same treatment as works such as "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival".

These things have nothing to do with Zhu Ziqing. What has something to do with him is that when the photo of this work was released, the poem on the canvas once again shook the literary world.

The headline on the front page of the day of the Chinese Youth Daily expressed its shock with this headline:

"Allow me to call one: the great poet Zhu Ziqing. ”
