Tang Xiansen obviously waited for news at home, and at this time on weekdays, he was already in the office early in the morning.

Now that he knew that she had her own success, he persuaded himself to stop, and persuaded himself to let go of his heart, kissed her lightly on the cheek and went to work.

Qu Ning touched her still warm cheeks, the corners of her lips almost involuntarily showed a smile, and then she quietly sat down at the table to finish the rest of the breakfast, and then began to classify today's newspaper.

In the newspapers of the past few days, she has carefully sorted them together, and pasted representative articles on the wall to represent their respective categories, and she also marked them with colors. With a woman's keen sixth sense, she reviewed the past one by one, and could always find the difference in the subtle transformation of tone and angle between the lines, perhaps because of her personal relationship, she could clearly feel that some newspapers were not right about people, some were not right about people, some were involuntarily, and some were eager to put her to death.

In this way, the factions behind them and the instigators belong to each other, and it is very clear.

In the end, Qu Ning looked at the column that represented "duplicity", that is, the column she deliberately marked in gray, and looked at several of the names in a daze.

The circulation of these newspapers is not too large, but when they are making reports, they are all a little disobedient, and the writing is weak, and there is a bit of a taste of drama and fiction.

In Qu Ning's current classification, red represents enemies who are very hostile to her personally, while the black column represents political enemies that are difficult for male chauvinism to win over, and green is an ally - at present, there is only the newspaper that Tang Shaoshuai has stood up to support, poor and miserable, as for the small number of gray that cannot be ignored, she has already considered it in her heart: perhaps, it is time to talk to them.

Green is close to gray, and in that empty column, Le Fuwen's signature is particularly conspicuous because of its independence, Qu Ning's gaze swept over the name, but a touch of awkwardness and irrepressible curiosity that could not be ignored rose in her heart: this question has lingered in her heart for too long, Tang Shaoshuai undoubtedly believes in Le Fuwen very much, even if there is no ambiguity between them, there must be a special bond, binding the two people together. And this bond, secret, strong, invisible to others, but also difficult to break.

She suddenly remembered the time she saw Le Fuwen, the cold edge she felt from her unruly and polite, and the doubts in her heart rose higher and higher: what kind of secret existed between them?

***

Qu Ning quickly asked someone to secretly invite the editors-in-chief of those newspapers to meet with her. I don't know if it's because the name of her young marshal's wife is easy to use, or because the practitioners in the news industry have a strong thirst for knowledge and curiosity, she sent people to invite them, and all of them arrived.

Qu Ning made an appointment with them in a book apartment located on the outskirts of Beijing, and when they came, she waved away the women who were playing and singing hard, took off the veil on her face, and breathed a deep sigh of relief as if she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and smiled slightly at the men with different expressions: "You can come today, I already appreciate it." Without waiting for them to say kind words, she continued, "I have gathered you here today, I want to talk to you about some interesting things that have happened recently. ”

There are five editors-in-chief seated here. From old to young, the expressions on their faces are either smiling or cold, or not cold, but in general, they are not very friendly.

As soon as Qu Ning said this, someone immediately asked in a weird way: "Is the young lady going to hold a press conference in the book?" Isn't this place a little unsuitable for Mrs. Tang's identity? ”

Qu Ning's eyes glanced at the pile of people lightly, and accurately captured the person who spoke, his eyes turned on his face like a knife, and the tall and thin man who only looked at it felt cold in his heart, and she smiled and opened her mouth: "I can only be regarded as half a peer with you, since you call me a young lady, you should know that although I have funded a bosom friend, but in the final analysis, I don't rely on this to make a living, unlike you, the family is afraid that they will rely on your pen and eyesight to eat, right?" She paused slightly, and then accurately called out the name of the person who spoke, his resume had been imprinted in her mind early in the morning, and it was easy and effortless at this time, these were all homework that she had done early in the morning before the party, "You are the editor-in-chief of Yan Huaiyan of the Kyoto Times, right?" If I'm not mistaken, the Kyoto Shiji Bao had a circulation of 100,000 copies three years ago, but what is the subscription now? 20,000 copies? Editor-in-Chief Yan, I'm afraid your boss won't be satisfied, right? Your life, without the year-end bonus, may not even be able to share the monthly salary, I'm afraid it's not good, right? The four children in the family are waiting to be fed, if you don't have this job anymore, I'm afraid you don't know where to get the milk powder money, right? ”

In fact, it's not just that it's not good, but it's definitely a kind word -- it can be seen from the white clothes washed on this man's body that he can't even do a decent façade, and how stretched his life is can be seen.

Not only him, Yan Huai is just a wage earner who does things for others, and he is already facing the situation of being owed wages, and several editors-in-chief are both founders and bosses, so the situation is even less optimistic.

The reason why Qu Ning deliberately named Yan Huai was a kind of shock, saying that I knew the situation of each of you, and secondly, who told him to make a sound?

Yan Huai was shocked, and looked up at her almost in disbelief, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd. But there was only one thing that the men here had determined in the silence of the room: that she was undoubtedly serious.

was so serious that she had made a lot of preparations in advance, so serious that she would rather step into a place like the book that did not match her identity, and gather them together. And the seriousness of the superiors, in many cases, is a signal that they can't resist and must be taken seriously.

Several people looked at each other, and finally the man with a mustache who looked the oldest among them, about the age of not being confused, nodded to Qu Ning, and opened his mouth in a very polite tone: "The young lady is young and promising, and the bosom friend has become famous in Kyoto in just one month, so we naturally know it." In fact, we talked about it in private, and we also admired the young lady's courage, ability and means, since the young lady knows our situation well, then presumably today is not just to meet with us so simple, if the young lady has any instructions, you might as well say it directly. ”

Qu Ning glanced at him, raised his chin slightly, and said with a bit of arrogance in his tone: "I ordered, you will do it?" ”

...... "Do you want to hit the snake like this?"

But since they all agreed to come here, it doesn't hurt to listen to it, at most it is just one more disobedience, so the men all nodded slowly.

Qu Ning smiled: "The reason why I want to talk about the Kyoto Times is not to insult you, Editor-in-Chief Yan. I want to emphasize to you once again the fact that the performance of all of you here has been declining all the way over the past three years. To say that I pay attention to freedom and openness in Huaxia now, and the number of people who can read and hyphenate is increasing day by day, which can be seen from the number of students in the school. According to common sense, since there are more people who can read, it means a broader market prospect, but why are fewer and fewer people subscribing to your newspaper? ”

Everyone looked at each other.

She said sincerely, but they frowned.

This question, of course, has been raised and discussed repeatedly. In fact, there is only one reason for the decrease in subscriptions: their newspaper is not good enough! Since it can't attract readers, it is natural that people will no longer subscribe for a long time.

However, this problem is also a problem faced by many newspapers in the industry today, not only in this room, but in fact, even the most successful newspapers in Kyoto today, their sales are not decreasing, but they are only barely flat, which shows that the market is actually shrinking, and readers are not satisfied with them.

A group of men frowned, and stopped talking.

Qu Ning smiled and shook her head: "I know what the reason is. Here, you don't have to be shy about it. It is because of the existence of the 'Press Association'. ”

That's the whole point.

This is because the Press Association has set very strict limits on the content of newspapers, one of which is that "those who are inciting rumors and causing damage to the national system will be punished by the publishers and editors in addition to stopping publication", that is, if there are political tendencies in the news that lead to some consequences, both the editor and the publisher will be imprisoned. The second is that "if the investigation is untrue and the personal reputation is tarnished, the person who is defiled may request correction, and if the request for correction is not performed, the person who has been defiled may be punished at his discretion when the person who has filed a lawsuit." As for this article, although it will be the same for future generations, but in the eyes of the Newspaper Association, this "personal reputation" has become a matter of opinion, wisdom and wisdom, and there is too much flexibility, in short, if something involving * is reported, such as the divorce case - if they really want to wield this sword of Shang Fang, Qu Ning and Kim Yunzhu can be imprisoned.

This has led to the fact that those tabloids who have no backstage and no big trees to support themselves are struggling to survive and move forward, and they must only be watched by the newspaper association, just like this incident, they have to write whatever the newspaper association tells them to write, and the so-called freedom of the press is just an empty word.

Since he shrunk when reporting, this will hit the thunder and can't write that the high-voltage line can't touch, so later, the reader will look at it very little, and see that it is "thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are red", which will lead to a daily decrease in subscriptions, which is reasonable.

However, although this newspaper association is a cancer, it is still a semi-governmental organization under the government, and in the name of other than Qu Ning, it does not even have the courage to talk about this "fascist" organization.

After Qu Ning broke this matter in one mouth, the scene immediately became silent, and the people present were suddenly dumb, and no one spoke for a while.

In the end, it was the middle-aged man who had just spoken who coughed dryly, and his face was embarrassed: "The young lady is humble and has just entered the industry, and she doesn't rely on this to make a living, but it seems that she knows no less than us......

Qu Ning nodded and made a tongue twister without modesty: "You know, I know." What you don't know, I'm afraid I know. ”

"......," the middle-aged man snorted, and examined her very carefully for a while, and then said slowly, "But you know that it's one thing, everyone here has had a bloody time, and we have all had a day of hesitation, but the newspaper association ......" he shook his head, "it can't be shaken by our strength." Then he sighed slowly, "It's not that we're willing to be emasculated by those people to have our freedom of speech, it's just that we have to compromise with that behemoth in order to maintain our remaining power to run a newspaper." The young lady can look down on our submissiveness, or she can feel that we are a group of powerless little people, but this is the philosophy of survival of the little people. ”

He explained a lot, and Qu Ning listened patiently.

Then her response was just a slight contemptuous smile with her eyes: "The so-called survival philosophy of the little people is to watch their hard work decay little by little, and finally fall to the point of being boiled frogs in warm water and slowly steamed to death?" There was no longer the gentleness of the beginning, on the contrary, it was as cold as an ice blade, and it deeply pierced the hearts of these men—it was unbearable to be despised by a woman like this, a man!

"Then young lady, what do you think you can do?" Editor-in-chief Yan couldn't help jumping out first, he was obviously young and impulsive, squinted at Qu Ning and said, "Everyone can speak empty vernacular...... and muttered in a low voice, "A full man doesn't know how hungry a hungry man ......is hungry."

The author has something to say: Yesterday there was a comment with a red mouth and white teeth saying that this article is like a cautious ...... I silently deleted it.

I can guarantee one thing, before I started writing this, I didn't read the words, and I couldn't refer to the writing and setting of that article, before I finished writing this, in order to prevent me from subconsciously writing the plot I had read into my own article, I shouldn't have read that article, this is my habit before and after writing.

If there is a sister paper under the text and really find that there is something similar, please leave a message to inform the details. I don't rule out when I opened my brain too big and actually collided with the great god (although I subjectively guessed that since Jinyan is * This is BG, what women and men will do in that era should be different, and the possibility of hitting the stalk is very low), but I reiterate it again: I don't welcome undocumented and unsubstantiated people who run to say "similar to Jinyan" Yunyun, because I was very serious when I wrote the article, and the interlocking of conspiracy drama and commercial drama took me a long, long time to set it completely. In addition, my attitude as a person will not allow me to borrow other people's memes to change my face and rewrite myself.

Hopefully, this "resemblance" is the last time I've seen it.

The tiger touches everyone.
