Chapter 57: Friendship

Zhu Ziqing's eyebrows twitched, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. The seal is not big or small, but if you help someone carve a seal without permission, it is disrespectful to people.

However, he has always liked to reveal his likes and dislikes, and pretends to take the box as if nothing happened.

"The master is really too polite...... his displeasure was still expressed in his words, and the title of Sun Shouqing changed from Sun Lao to master. But halfway through the words, I was startled back by the contents of the brocade box.

When I opened the brocade box, I found that there was a jade seal lying quietly inside, which was clear and transparent, like solidified honey, and extremely moist.

"Tian Huang?"

"Tian Huang Frozen Stone!"

The voices of Zhu Ziqing and Master Jia Qigong sounded at the same time. The former is an uncertain question, while the latter is a surprise.

Zhu Ziqing didn't understand jade, but he also knew that the best carving material was Tian Huang. At the first sight of this seal, he had such suspicions. It's just that I haven't seen the real thing, and I've only seen pictures on the Internet, so I'm not sure.

He also heard Master Jia Qigong's exclamation, and knew that this thing was the same as he thought, and there was no doubt that it was Tian Huang. But what is Tianhuang frozen stone?

"Tianhuang frozen stone is the best grade in Tianhuang, and it is hard to find. Sun Lao'er's piece was exchanged for a painting back then. I haven't been willing to use it for so many years, but I didn't expect it to be given to you. Jia Qigong further explained.

Several apprentices of the two masters were all dazzled when they heard the word 'Tian Huang', and they took a few steps forward to look next to Zhu Ziqing. Hearing Master Jia Qigong's explanation, they all showed envy.

"Old Sun, this thing is too valuable, I don't dare to ask for it, please take it back. "How dare Zhu Ziqing ask for it.

The price of ordinary Tianhuang is more expensive than the same weight of gold, as the top grade Tianhuang frozen stone in Tianhuang, it is not an exaggeration to say that its price is higher than that of a thousand gold. Such a large piece is at least hundreds of thousands. He really didn't dare to ask for such a valuable gift. And the little unhappiness in my heart just now is long gone.

"You talk a lot. Master Sun Shouqing glared at Master Jia, and then said to Zhu Ziqing with a pleasant face: "Don't shirk, your poem has helped me more than a stone can measure." If you don't want it, I'll sell the painting and give you a share of the money. Which one you want, stone or money, choose for yourself. ”

"This ......"

Seeing Master Sun Shouqing's resolute and non-negotiable expression, Zhu Ziqing weighed it, since the painting was recognized as a national treasure, its value was immeasurable. If you sell it, the price starts at least 10 million, and you can divide yourself more than a stone.

What's more, who wants to sell such a proud work. If he didn't want stones, the old man would have become a sinner if he really sold the painting. In the end, it was decided to accept the stone.

……………………………………………………………………

When I left the master's house, it was already dark. With such a valuable thing on his body, Zhu Ziqing didn't dare to squeeze the subway, in case it fell or was stolen, he really didn't even have a place to cry. To be on the safe side, he chose to fight.

When I returned to Tao Yingshuang's house, I found that he didn't go out, but read the newspaper in the living room.

"What's the matter today? Didn't go out for the night, hide at home and read the newspaper?"

After a few days of contact, the two lost their rustiness at the beginning and became familiar with each other. Occasionally, there are innocuous jokes.

"It's about you, of course. I said you're a newsmaker. Everywhere you go, you can make headlines. "Tao Yingshuang was surprised.

"As the protagonist, you must carry an aura of bad luck with you, and something will happen wherever you go. Otherwise, what the audience is watching. And I'm the main character. Zhu Ziqing remembered the ten auras that the protagonist carried with him summarized on the Internet, and said with a smile.

"It's also the protagonist, I think it's a pig's foot. But I think you must carry the mentally handicapped aura with you, and whoever shines on it will become a fool. Jin Linqi's behavior today, the word retarded is not enough to describe his stupidity. It's brain-dead. Didn't you take your medicine when you went out?"

"What kind of medicine to take, it seems that he can still be saved. ”

"Well, you're ruthless. Tao Yingshuang gave a thumbs up for this sentence, then raised the newspaper in his hand and said, "But you don't have to worry, he's finished." ”

"What's going on?"

"As a competitor, it's already very bad for him to question you. Now humiliating you to your face and making such an excessive bet is simply death. The credibility accumulated over more than a decade was ruined. You can breathe a sigh of relief, too. After today's events, he questioned that your actions were interpreted as envy and jealousy for you. Your crisis is solved. Tao Yingshuang said happily.

"It's not that simple. The topic has already been raised, and it is not something he can control. Without Jin Linqi, there are Wang Yang, Penghu, Liu Bingyang and the like. Zhu Ziqing said calmly.

"That's why I said that Jin Linqi is mentally retarded. It's nothing to offend you. Didn't he also attack a female journalist outside the arena? This behavior was seen by the journalists as unfriendly to them. Now it's a hornet's nest. None of the media had a good word for him. Tao Yingshuang gloated and said:

Not only that, but those who dared to stand in the same camp with him were also implicated, and the old bottom was exposed. Who hasn't done a few bad things these years. Wang Yang and Penghu have also been picked up, and they are still too busy to take care of themselves, so how can they have the strength to deal with you. With such a lesson from the past, who would dare to talk about your plagiarism now. ”

"Is that an exaggeration? I'll take a look at the newspapers. Zhu Ziqing said with some disbelieving.

"Wow. Tao Yingshuang handed over a stack of newspapers in his hand: "Especially this one in the Southern Metropolis Evening News, you must read it." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Ziqing directly found the Southern Metropolis Evening News in Tao Yingshuang's mouth, and easily found the information he wanted. After reading it, I was speechless for a long time.

"Does Jin Linqi have a grudge against the Southern Metropolis Evening News?"

"Who knows, but I checked it just now. The editor-in-chief of this Southern Metropolis Evening News must be a huge fan of yours. From your debut to now, you have been advocating for you. Never said a word badly. If you don't know, you think this newspaper is owned by your family. ”

"Really?" Zhu Ziqing was a little unconvinced.

"Why lie to you, I've been saying good things for you since "Shuck and Beta". They are still defending you when they hack you online, and they don't hesitate to fight with other media for this. Tao Yingshuang said affirmatively.

confirmed that the matter was true, and Zhu Ziqing's favorability towards this Southern Metropolis Evening News suddenly reached full value.

"We want to encourage such a friendly media. ”

"How do you encourage? Give them a certificate or a pennant?"

"No kidding, they run a newspaper. We're in the writing business. This encouragement should naturally start with this convenience. Zhu Ziqing said.

"You can't be serious, are you?" Tao Yingshuang said in surprise.

"Do you think I'm joking?"

After confirming that Zhu Ziqing was not joking, Tao Yingshuang said with some amusement: "What are you going to do? Accept an interview? Or just write a few press releases?"

"Neither, I flipped through it just now, and they have a mystery fiction section. I'm going to write a mystery novel and cast it to them as a reward. ”

……………………………………………………………………………

Southern Metropolis Evening News, don't look at the atmosphere of the name, is actually just a regional newspaper. The main SZ city is in the near future.

"Lao Zuo, how about the market development of the demon capital?" Yue Zhenlun, the editor-in-chief of the Southern Metropolis Evening News, leaned sideways and asked Zuo Qingquan, the marketing manager next to him.

"Progress has been slow, and the sales of the day before yesterday, which relied on Zhu Ziqing's report, barely reached 5,000 copies. Yesterday it dropped back to fifteen hundred. Zuo Qingquan shook his head and said.

"I'm to blame for this, the steps are too big and too fast. Yue Zhenlun said with a sigh.

"It's not your responsibility alone, it's our unanimous decision to enter the demon capital market. Our development in SZ City has fallen into a bottleneck, and going out is the only way out. We're in the right direction, but the problem is that we don't have a main topic with its own characteristics. Qiu Zhipeng, the head of the planning department, put forward a different opinion.

"I agree with Manager Qiu. Recently, our marketing department did a survey. As long as we report the news about Zhu Ziqing, there will be a slight increase in sales. The day before yesterday was even more obvious in the report, with sales directly rising by 14 percentage points.

And one out of every seven people who buy a newspaper because we help Zhu Ziqing speak, becomes our regular customer. So I think we should think of a way to do that. Zuo Qingquan said approvingly.

"I know that, too. But our temple is too small, and those distinctive critics are unwilling to give in. You can't tie them up. It's harder to discover and cultivate on your own, and you've seen the results over the years. Yue Zhenlun spread his hands and said.

"It would be nice if Zhu Ziqing could serialize his work in our newspaper. Qiu Zhipeng said suddenly.

His words made Yue Zhenlun and Zuo Qingquan silent. Yes, if Zhu Ziqing was willing to serialize his work in their newspaper. They may not be able to become the second "Children's Literature and Art".

But why do people who are not relatives or relatives serialize their works in their newspapers? Is it because they help him speak? Don't be kidding, they help him talk for the sake of sales. It's too naΓ―ve to expect people to be grateful to Dade because of this.

Just then, the office door suddenly opened. A middle-aged man in his forties rushed in with joy on his face.

"Editor-in-chief, good news, good news. ”

"Lao Li, you are also the old editor-in-chief of our newspaper, why don't you understand this bit of politeness. No matter how big it is, you should at least knock on the door before you come in, right?" Yue Zhenlun reprimanded unhappily.

"Yes, yes, I was wrong, pay attention next time. Lao Li said casually, and then continued what he had just said: "Zhu Ziqing has contributed to our newspaper. ”
