As soon as the news broke that "Notes on Tomb Robbery" would be serialized in the "Oriental Daily", the Hong Kong press was in an uproar.

Since "The Peerless Double Pride" was serialized in the "Oriental Daily", the newspaper's sales have increased by more than 30%, and now "Notes on Tomb Robbery" has been included in the bag, completely securing the throne of the daily sales of Hong Kong newspapers and magazines.

But what everyone is really curious about is the reason why Lin Xi chose "Oriental Daily".

Originally, the highest bidder won it, and it is not surprising that "Oriental Daily" has deep pockets and stands out from a crowd of competitors, but this time "Oriental Daily" also competes with "Ming Pao".

Although "Ming Pao" cannot be as rich and capricious as Ma Yankun, the owner of "Oriental Daily", Jin Yong's influence and the status of the newspaper itself in the industry are there, otherwise there would not be so many Hong Kong writers who want to open a column in "Ming Pao" despite the high remuneration offered by other newspapers.

This has nothing to do with money, it is mainly a status symbol.

But Lin Xi rejected "Ming Pao", and the reason for this is difficult not to make people think.

Lin Xi saw this, so he said those words to Yu Zheng, and he not only said this to Yu Zheng, but also told Dong Qiao, deputy editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao", who came to the door with Ma Fangxi.

Such a reason for refusal really made Jin Yong's face gloomy, but this matter was indeed the fault of "Ming Pao" in the first place, and now he can't blame the other party for not giving face.

In the eyes of outsiders, even if Lin Xi is talented, he is only a sixteen-year-old boy, and Jin Yong is much older than Lin Xi's father Lin Shudu.

If Jin Yong turns his face because of such a trivial matter, he will inevitably seem a little lacking in bearing, and he is also suspected of bullying the small.

The key is that Lin Xi asked Dong Qiao to bring it back in addition to refusal, but also revealed another layer of meaning: everyone is evened out like this!

The more Jin Yong pondered about this matter, the more he felt that Lin Xi's move was very meaningful.

On the surface, Lin Xi rejected "Ming Pao", but in fact, it also smoothed out the obstacles for the future cooperation between the two sides.

Going deeper, this is actually a step that Lin Xi found for himself in order to cooperate with "Ming Pao" in the future, literati, it is a good character to say that it sounds good, and it is hypocritical to say that it is ugly, and he always cares about a face problem, he can't say that he was "Ming Pao" for the first time, and the second time he has to rush to cooperate with "Ming Pao", pushing himself and others, if Jin Yong stood in Lin Xi's position, it is estimated that he would not do this.

Thinking about this, Jin Yong's mood also calmed down, but with his moody and unmoved character, he naturally wouldn't show this layer of affection on his face.

This created a false impression for the employees of "Ming Pao", and everyone felt that Jin Yong was still worried about this matter, so in the past two days, the employees in the entire newspaper building even lowered their voices and spoke carefully, for fear of being caught in something wrong and reprimanded.

And Dong Qiao has also had a hard time in the past two days, and he has smashed the matter of nine out of ten, and Jin Yong has never given a clear attitude, and his heart has been hanging like this.

When he was about to get off work that day, Dong Qiao received a call from Ma Fangxian and invited him to have dinner together in the evening.

At first, Dong Qiao agreed, but when he learned that this meal turned out to be Lin Shu as the east, and invited friends in the circle to get together, he immediately regretted refusing.

"I said Dong Qiao, you won't be so careful, right? That's right, the matter of "Tomb Robbery Notes" does make you a little embarrassed, but everyone is in business, and buying and selling is not benevolent, not to mention that this time it is Lin Shu and not Xi Zai, is it interesting for you to take care of yourself like this? ”

Ma Fangxi's words were half joking and half serious, but Dong Qiao was in a hurry.

"Ma Fangxi, I treat you as a good friend, but you can't entertain me like this, right? I know that you have a good relationship with Lin Shu's father and son, and everyone has their own positions on the matter of "Notes on Tomb Robbery", and I have never said anything about complaining about anyone, right? You think about Lin Shu's father and son, but why don't you think about it from my standpoint? I'm the deputy editor-in-chief of Ming Pao, and I've just been rejected here, and I'm sitting with you like a nobody, eating and drinking, what will others think when they see it? ”

"I'm afraid this other person you are talking about refers to Mr. Cha, right?"

Ma Fangxian was very faceless and debunked Dong Qiao.

Dong Qiao did not deny it, "So what? Mr. Cha is my boss, and as long as I am still at Ming Pao for one day, I will be worthy of the salary he pays me. ”

Ma Fangxian disagrees with this statement.

"If you really want to think about Mr. Cha, then you still have to eat this meal, and you have to eat it in a higher tone!"

Dong Qiao was confused all of a sudden, what kind of thing is this?

"Okay, let me ask you, after you went back to sue Mr. Cha, did Mr. Cha say anything?"

"Nope."

"So have there been any comments on "Tomb Robbery Notes" in the "Ming Pao" in the past two days?"

"Nope."

"Isn't this the end, with Mr. Cha's character, if he was really angry, would he not do anything for so long? He didn't say anything about it, which means that he wasn't angry about it, but it did make him lose face, so he had to put on a show in front of you, and I said that, you should understand, right? ”

As the so-called bystander is clear, after Ma Fangji woke up at such a point, Dong Qiao suddenly figured out the whole thing.

"Then I shouldn't go to Lin Shu's dinner right now, right?"

"Why haven't you understood what I mean? Mr. Cha doesn't mind this matter, and Xi Zai doesn't mean to target "Ming Pao", the so-called coming day is long, this time there is no cooperation and there will be a next time, is it possible that you think that Xi Zai only has two novels in his head, "The Peerless Double Pride" and "Tomb Robbery Notes"? ”

Ma Fang's words unintentionally leaked the news, which made Dong Qiao's heart move.

"Are you saying that Lin Xi has a new book again?"

Ma Fangji deliberately coughed twice on the other end of the phone, "Well...... It's better to ask Lin Shu yourself later. ”

Speaking of which, Dong Qiao felt that he couldn't go tonight.

"Okay, tell me the time and place, and I'll take the bus over after work in a while."

"You don't have to squeeze the bus, Huang Zhan and Lin Yanni's advertising agency is not far from your newspaper building, I'll call Huang Zhan later, and tell him to let him drive you over at that time."

Dong Qiao and Huang Zhan don't have much contact, but he is very familiar with Huang Zhan's current girlfriend Lin Yanni, who is one of the columnists of "Ming Pao", and Dong Qiao, as "Ming Pao", often deals with him.

Dong Qiao thought that Huang Zhan would take Lin Yanni to the appointment, but he didn't expect that half an hour later, in front of the "Ming Pao" building, only Huang Zhan's head poked out of the black conspicuous car.

Huang Zhan beckoned, and Dong Qiao noticed him.

After doing the past and getting in the car, Dong Qiao naturally asked about Lin Yanni's whereabouts.

"She still has something in the company, and she has already called Lin Shu to talk to her...... Besides, it's not appropriate for a group of big men to eat with us, and it's not appropriate for her to go with a woman, if she is there, we can't even tell jokes, so it's boring to eat and drink like this! ”

Huang Zhan is Huang Zhan, and the three sentences are inseparable from women, so it is no wonder that everyone will call him "Bu Wenzhan".

Dong Qiao was a serious person, so he had to change the topic.

"You and Yanni's advertising agency should have been doing very well lately, right?"

"Normal!" Huang Zhan pretended to be modest, but he couldn't hide the smugness in his tone.

On Christmas Eve in 1975, the movie "Everyone's Music" directed by Huang Zhan and starring Wen Na Band was released, which not only ranked among the top ten grossing films of the year, making Wen Na Band an instant hit, but also made Huang Zhan and his partner Lin Yanni collide with sparks.

In August of the following year, the movie "Jumping Ashes" premiered, and the theme song "Ask Me" written by Huang Zhan quickly became popular, Lin Yanni praised "Ask Me" in her Ming Pao column, and Huang Zhan did not shy away from the relationship with Lin Yanni, the relationship between the two was going public, and this also made Huang Zhan's marriage with his first wife Hua Wa come to an end, Hua Wa, who was pregnant with her third child at the time, categorically filed for divorce with Huang Zhan, and Huang Zhan, who was madly infatuated with Lin Yanni, quickly agreed.

After divorcing his first wife Hua Wa, Huang Zhan and Lin Yanni founded Huang and Lin Advertising Company to enter the advertising industry, and Huang Zhan served as the chairman of the company. Because both of them are well-known talents and talented women in Xiangjiang, Huang & Lin Advertising Company quickly became famous in the industry, after so many years of development, the company is doing well, no wonder Huang Zhan is so complacent.

On the way, the two chatted a few words on this topic, and for some reason, Huang Zhan, who was originally elated, suddenly sighed.

"To say that people are really angry than people, I have worked hard for so long, but it is just a small success, Lin Shu just gave birth to a good son, writing two books easily left me behind, now I am worried, that kid wrote these two books as soon as they are published, it is estimated that the sales record held by my "No Anthology" will be broken, think about it is really unwilling, live to the age of forty and suddenly find that he is not as good as a hairy boy, what is this?"

Hearing that even Huang Zhan was jealous of Lin Xi, Dong Qiao's heart suddenly felt much better, to say that there are many talented teenagers in this world, but achieving such results at the age of sixteen like Lin Xi will cause a lot of pressure on the adults around him.

"Lin Shujia's kid is also good at writing books, he may not be as good as you in other aspects, such as making movies, writing songs, and doing advertisements, he can't be like this, you are mainly distracted too much, concentrate on doing something, and your achievements will definitely be much higher than now."

Dong Qiao's words can be regarded as a holding point, and of course, he also praised Huang Zhan by the way.

didn't think about it, but Huang Zhan shook his head, "Actually, you said that these things, except for writing songs, are all common, you can change careers to become a screenwriter if you are good at writing books, and if you do a good job as a screenwriter, you can try to be a director, I listened to the radio drama that the kid and the commercial station made together, this kid actually has talent in this area." ”

Dong Qiao didn't expect Huang Zhan to have such a high opinion of Lin Xi, so he asked Huang Zhan on a whim if he was worried that he would soon be surpassed by Lin Xi.

Huang Zhan has such worries, but he is very face-saving, it is one thing for him to take the initiative to praise others, and it is another thing for him to admit that he is not as good as others, Dong Qiao asked, of course Huang Zhan will not admit it.

"Although I am optimistic about this kid's future development, he can't be exhaustive, at least in terms of advertising, I'm not too worried, even if he starts learning from his mother's womb, he can't be more experienced than me, and it's absolutely impossible for him to surpass me in this regard."

Although Huang Zhan's words were a bit of a boast, what he said was basically the truth, and he even joked with Dong Qiao that he would have to ask Lin Shu about it when he saw him, and he didn't believe that Lin Xi was really so demonic.
