Chapter 20: Targeted

As soon as he arrived at the newspaper office in the morning, Dong Qiao received a call from Jin Yong, asking him to go to the office.

This made Dong Qiao a little puzzled, Jin Yong rarely found someone to have a direct interview when dealing with the daily affairs of "Ming Pao", and usually asked people to pass down a note explaining how to deal with it.

The wording on the note is usually very polite, but it is a non-negotiable tone, which can be regarded as Jin Yong's characteristic "paper note governance". Unless there is something particularly indecided, Jin Yong will invite someone to the office for an interview.

Dong Qiao has joined "Ming Pao" for so many years, and he can't remember how many notes he has received from Jin Yong, but the number of times he has been directly invited into the office by Jin Yong can be counted on one hand.

With this puzzled mood, Dong Qiao knocked on Jin Yong's office.

Jin Yong raised his head from the table and beckoned to Dong Qiao.

"Sit down first, I'll talk to you after reading this manuscript."

Dong Qiao answered, and then sat down a little stiffly.

All the employees of "Ming Pao" know that Jin Yong is always amiable in front of the public, but in private he is an unsmiling, indifferent and solemn person, coupled with a non-threatening and angry appearance, which makes his subordinates a little silent when they see him. Once Dong Qiao went to Jin Yong's office with a female staff, and he saw the female staff carefully "sitting on her side".

In fact, Jin Yong never scolded the employees, and he didn't even say anything serious, but it would be wrong to think that he was a good talker, he was just polite and thoughtful, but his style was very tough.

It can be said that the newspaper series is Kim Yong's personal kingdom, and the decisions he makes are never refuted.

Jin Yong talks about Twenwen, but his personality can be said to be more rigid than soft, stronger than weak, which is why Dong Qiao seems restrained in front of him.

After waiting for about five or six minutes, Jin Yong spoke.

"I got a draft from below last night, the content probably says that Lin Shu's son Lin Xi is going to start his own program on a commercial radio station, the specific content has not been disclosed, but it is said that it may be in the form of idle talk and storytelling, what kind of attitude do you think "Ming Pao" should have towards this?"

Dong Qiao's heart was shocked, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Although Dong Qiao is the deputy editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao", with Jin Yong's usual style of acting, this kind of thing will not come to him for consultation, and now Jin Yong just does it, and the reason for this is somewhat intriguing.

"Mr. Cha, the manuscript of "The Peerless Double Pride" last time was handed over to me by the Taiwanese publisher Ma Fangxi, I am very familiar with him personally, and he also wanted to use the platform of "Ming Pao" to help this novel open up the situation, so I agreed to help him hand over the manuscript, from beginning to end, I have no intersection with Lin Shu's father and son, and the relationship between me and Lin Shu before was only a general nodding friend."

After listening to Dong Qiao's explanation, Jin Yong just hummed expressionlessly, but he didn't want to give up listening to Dong Qiao's opinion on this matter.

In desperation, Dong Qiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "This kid from the Lin Shu family is indeed a master who can toss, and the serialization of "The Peerless Double Pride" over there has not yet ended, and this head has made such a big move with the commercial radio station...... In fact, I asked Ma Fangxi about this matter long before this, and at that time, Ma Fangxi patted his chest and assured me that Lin Xi had indeed participated in the creation of "The Peerless Twins", and even the concept of this story was thought of by him, and Lin Shu just helped him make some improvements. ”

"Just based on Ma Fang's traces, it can't completely clear Lin Xi's suspicions." Jin Yong interjected.

Dong Qiao was silent for a moment.

"In fact, I haven't been able to figure it out about this matter, but after a long period of investigation by the media, I believe one thing is certain, "The Peerless Twins" is not ghostwritten by others, and the author will only be one of Lin Shu's father and son."

When he said this, Dong Qiao deliberately glanced at Jin Yong, and saw that he had no intention of refutating, so he said with confidence: "Now many people think that "The Peerless Double Pride" was actually written by Lin Shu, and signing Lin Xi's name is just to pave the way for his son in advance, but there are several things that can't be explained by this point of view. First of all, why did Lin Shu do this? If Lin Xi didn't have the talent in this area, he would only do this to encourage the seedlings, and judging from Lin Shu's experience, he should know better that it is not easy to gain a foothold in this industry, why do he want to push his son into the fire pit? This brings up the second doubt, if he can write a work of the level of "Peerless Double Pride", why didn't Lin Shu publish it himself? ”

"So when you say this qiē, you want to prove your point in the first place?" Jin Yong asked quietly.

Dong Qiao knew that he had left an impression in Jin Yong's heart that he was close to Lin Shu's father and son, so he simply admitted generously: "Mr. Cha asked me what I thought of this, and I could only tell the truth. ”

"Do you have any more basis for that?" Jin Yong asked again.

"At first, I actually had doubts, until I heard Mr. Cha say that I was sure that Lin Shu's son is definitely not simple, from another point of view, if Lin Shu's previous actions were all paving the way for Lin Xi, then the most important thing for Lin Xi to do now is to be steady, instead of jumping out in such a hurry to give people a handle, but Lin Xi did it, which shows that he should have something to rely on."

Jin Yong is such a smart person, and he immediately grasped the point of Dong Qiao's words.

"You mean that show is going to be of high quality?"

"I think Lin Shu and his son may be in the next big game." Dong Qiao paused, "Doesn't Mr. Cha think that the news about this show has been revealed too quickly?" ”

Jin Yong's eyes lit up, and when Dong Qiao reminded him like this, he suddenly figured out the doubts that he had been confused before.

According to the normal situation, Lin Xi and commercial radio should cooperate to open a new program before the media will be informed by the media when the commercial station begins to build momentum for publicity, but the media has now gotten the news one step ahead of schedule, which is definitely not a coincidence.

"It seems that Lin Shu's father and son still have the guidance of experts in our line behind him, so I won't press this manuscript for the time being, and I don't think this kid Lin Xi can afford you to say so many good things for him!"

Jin Yong didn't say this completely to find a step for himself, after this incident, he really had a trace of anticipation for this upcoming radio program.
