Under the bright sunshine, the plane trees on both sides of Jinshenfu Road in the French Concession spit out tender green shoots, and the balconies of European-style villas of different shapes gradually bloomed and were full of vitality. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The gentle south breeze gradually dries the wet streets, and the constant flow of pedestrians seems to blend into the atmosphere of spring flowers, and every face is filled with a cheerful smile.

The newly completed three-storey western-style building diagonally opposite Guangci Hospital occupies a wide area, the momentum is extraordinary, the architectural style is novel and unique, the 100-meter wall composed of stone foundation and fancy cast iron fence is elegant and atmospheric, and the simple and heavy marble doorposts on both sides of the gate and the tall cast iron door are integrated, and it is full of unique European charm everywhere.

In the luxurious office on the east side of the top floor of the western-style building, Zheng Xuan, the young and beautiful president of the Oriental News, is reviewing the third issue of this year's "Oriental Outlook" monthly magazine that will be printed.

Two middle-aged editors-in-chief in suits sit quietly in front of their wide rosewood desks, waiting for the young president to give instructions on one of the important current affairs commentaries selected for this issue.

A few minutes later, Zheng Xuan, who looked attentive, put the sample journal in front of the two editors-in-chief: "Very good, General Feng Yuxiang, the cover character of this issue, is undoubtedly the focus of attention at home and abroad, and the interview with him is detailed and fascinating, I am very satisfied!" ”

"Editor-in-Chief Lu and his colleagues from the Ministry of Current Affairs have worked hard, so hand it over to the printing workshop behind for printing, and according to the growth level of the previous two months, the number of prints in this issue can be increased to 8,000 copies."

The editor-in-chief of the editorial department of current affairs, who was full of red face and shiny hair, smiled: "It is completely feasible, since the establishment of the journal six months ago, the number of subscriptions and wholesale numbers every month has been steadily increasing, and last month's 6,500 copies were sold out in less than a week, which was well received by all walks of life, and also aroused strong repercussions from all walks of life, and it is not an exaggeration to increase the number of 1,500 copies printed." ”

Zheng Xuan nodded with a smile and looked at the British editor-in-chief in charge of financial analysis: "Boris, the new financial column is very distinctive, and it analyzes the development direction of the problems existing in the three stock exchanges in Shanghai and Shanghai, with keen vision, objectivity and fairness. ”

"I'm very confident in this new column, and if there's anything else I need to do, just bring it up."

Boris, a financial expert hired from Hong Kong two months ago with a high salary, was very happy, and stood up with a slight bow politely: "The support you have given me is enough, all the conditions here are not good, and the relationship between colleagues is also very harmonious, and I am confident that after a year, the financial column will be shaped into a financial journal that is independently edited and distributed." ”

"Thank you! I'm looking forward to seeing this day come soon. ”

Zheng Xuan showed a satisfied smile, and after sending off the two editors-in-chief, she picked up the intercom on the desktop and gave a few orders, and after a while, her special assistant Liu Yu hurriedly arrived.

"Sister Xuan, I was looking for you, can you tell me where the current affairs commentary article at the beginning of this issue of the monthly magazine came from? Who is this author named Guan Shan? ”

Liu Yu also held the sample magazine in his hand, and came to Zheng Xuan and asked curiously.

Zheng Xuan pointed to the chair in front of her with a smile: "Every time I come in, I'm frizzy, there are always endless questions, and I'm not too tired, sit down." ”

Liu Yu smiled and sat down: "You haven't told me yet." ”

Zheng Xuan thought for a while and asked, "What do you think of the current review article at the beginning of this issue?" ”

"The level is very high, the point of view is unique, and the courage is also very big, and it is even predicted that the four groups of the National Revolutionary Army will split within a year, and even tear their faces to fight each other, which feels a bit alarmist, but if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible, it is estimated that this expert of the current review is coming back from abroad, he is not very old, and he is quite talented, right?"

Liu Yu was not reserved in front of Zheng Xuan, but said something like a little sister, quite willful.

Zheng Xuan couldn't help laughing: "If I say that you know this Guan Shan, can you remember who it is?" ”

Liu Yu's big eyes showed surprise: "How is it possible?" I am familiar with the five current affairs critics of our newspaper, and none of them are so bold, even if they criticize the Nationalist Government and the army, and their words and tone are relatively tactful, and these five celebrities are all old scholars in their forties and fifties, and their styles are completely different! ”

"As for other scholars, I haven't found that one with such a unique vision and edge, unless it is a young man from Beiping or the province and Hong Kong, I have no impression of the others."

Zheng Xuan nodded appreciatively: "Not bad!" There is progress. ”

"Oh, Sister Xuan, just tell me, who is this Guan Shan?" Liu Yu began to be coquettish.

Zheng Xuan laughed: "Girl, just finish listening, don't pass it on in your heart, there are only three people who know who this Guan Shan is, one is my father who transferred this article, one is me, and the next one is you!" ”

Liu Yu was stunned, as if he had guessed something, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Zheng Xuan leaned forward slightly, lowered her voice and told Liu Yu: "It's Zheng Yi, and he also wrote the serials of the battlefield in today's and tomorrow's newspapers, and then forwarded them from Hong Kong after they are sent to Hong Kong, and these two articles will be published in Hong Kong's "Oriental Times" at the same time. ”

"It is estimated that in three days at most, it will cause a huge sensation, maybe this afternoon or tomorrow morning, the call from the Nanjing Central Party Department will come, but we don't have to worry, the "Ta Kung Pao" in the north and the "Declaration" in Huhai are even bolder, and even Sun Ke and Commander-in-Chief Jiang dare to scold, and we are polite in comparison."

Liu Yu was stunned, his breathing became rapid, his full chest rose and fell, and his fair face flushed.

Zheng Xuan sighed, glanced at the floor clock in the corner, and instructed Liu Yu, who was in a daze: "Cheer up, there are still ten minutes before that guy Han Zixu arrives, you accompany me to have a good chat with him." ”

"That guy's family is quite famous in Nanyang, and he is a family friend of our Zheng family, giving people a very good impression, courteous and extraordinary, in fact, he is full of ghost ideas and is very cunning......"

"Less than three years after returning to Nanyang from the UK, Han Zixu won the British Special Journalism Award twice with his sharp strokes, keen sense of smell, broad vision and fair attitude, and became a well-known current affairs reporter in the world."

"Are you talking about the Nanyang reporter who whispered with your brother-in-law when you attended a banquet last weekend?" Liu Yu finally came back to his senses.

Zheng Xuan nodded: "This guy is quite remarkable, he resigned as the chief reporter of Nanyang News Agency, politely refused the solicitation of "The Times" and "New York Times", and returned to China as an independent reporter to start a new journey. ”

"My dad wrote to him saying that he was very optimistic about this guy's future, and asked me and your brother-in-law to support him a lot, and your brother-in-law became good brothers with him after meeting him twice...... Oh, and it's almost time, so let's get your meters in order. ”

Liu Yu hurriedly stood up and entered the lounge inside to change into formal clothes, and Zheng Xuan also took out the dressing box and began to touch up her makeup. (To be continued.) )
