Looking at the pile of photos on the table in front of him, Lu Jinan's face was gloomy and uncertain.

As the editor-in-chief of Next Magazine, Hong Kong's most successful gossip weekly, and the former editor-in-chief of the entertainment section of Ming Pao, his power in the editorial department of Next Magazine is not insignificant. At the beginning, in order to dig up him, Jin Yong's general, Li Zhiying made a promise never to interfere with the content of "Next Magazine". And in the past year, Li Zhiying has indeed done it, except for a politician he knows well, the lace news was suppressed by Li Zhiying, he basically never interfered in the management of the editorial department of "Next Magazine" again.

But he has so much power in the editorial department of "Next Magazine", but now he has encountered a matter that he does not dare to make a decision.

Four days ago, when Shao Hongnian, the best ace entertainer under his command, knocked on the door of his office with a thick document bag with an excited face, bringing what he and his assistant had spent more than ten days to obtain, hundreds of photos taken from various angles, and a few reports, his troubles in Jinan also followed.

Without it, just because he is familiar with the male protagonist in these photos, it is Lin Xiaozhi, a Hong Kong director who is now popular in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and even Europe and the United States. Looking at the intimacy between him and a young woman and another baby in the photo, as a member of the media, he didn't need to look at the report made by Shao Hongnian to guess what was going on with the big director.

Suspected of being born illegally, a wealthy family stepped on two boats, and secretly raised a woman with his genuine girlfriend Li Jiaxin, the most beautiful Hong Kong sister!

This will undoubtedly be amazing news, once it is reported, Lu Jinan can't imagine what kind of uproar will be set off with the amazing popularity of Lin Xiaozhi, the protagonist of the incident, in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

But although he saw a lot of benefits, he Lu Jinan still didn't know whether to poke this matter out. Because if he Lin Xiaozhi is just a big director with amazing popularity in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, no matter how powerful the director is, he is just a monkey in the eyes of the media, can he still jump out of the palm of the media?

The problem is that he Lin Xiaozhi is not just a monkey, but also a hedgehog that can fight and can resist, and is covered with thorns. Just because he is not only one of the big Hong Kong directors with the title of a wealthy family, but also the Kowloon Lin family, where he lives, is now the two most popular banking families in Hong Kong along with the East Asian Lee family (Li Guobao family). And he himself is now the boss of Media Asia, the largest film group in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and even the whole of Asia, and he also owns the giant of Hong Kong's newspaper industry, Sing Pao Newspaper Group, and is the major shareholder of Asia Television, one of the two major free-to-air television stations, and is not just a super-rich man worth billions.

There are too many halos shrouded in Lin Xiaozhi, no matter which one is taken out, it is enough for the big boss behind him Li Zhiying to drink a pot, and I heard that Lin Xiaozhi's Media Asia Group has also set up a legal department with strong combat effectiveness, attracting many well-known Hong Kong lawyers and even retired justices to introduce them as consultants.

Don't look at their "Next Magazine" has developed rapidly in the past year, and it has indeed exposed the privacy gossip of many wealthy people in the entertainment industry and business, but most of them are due to lack of energy, at least they can't shake Li Zhiying's existence. Even if there is a lawsuit to eat, Li Zhiying is willing to spend some money to play with them to buy popularity for "Next Magazine". But if you really want to confront the legal department of Media Asia, not to mention whether they can win "Next Magazine", they really offended this entertainment industry bigwig, and it is difficult to say whether "Next Magazine" will be completely banned by Media Asia in the future.

"What should I do?"

Lu Jinan was so worried that his face was wrinkled, it would be a pity to give up such a big gossip news, but if it was reported, he was worried that the other party would investigate it and cause trouble for the company and the boss.

"Forget it, let's see what Li Sheng says"

Seeing that another day had passed, and if he didn't decide to miss the new issue of Next Magazine, Lu Jinan hesitated again and again, but decided to meet his boss Li Zhiying in person to see what his opinion was.

immediately hung up a phone call to Li Zhiying, and after learning from the servant in his house that he was meeting guests and it was inconvenient to answer the phone, Lu Jinan asked the servant to leave a sentence for him to wait for the next visit, and then sorted out the photos and reports, put them in his briefcase, and drove quickly to Li Zhiying's house.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. is meeting guests upstairs, why don't you wait in the living room for a while?"

Because of business matters, he often comes to Li Zhiying's house, so most of the servants in Li Zhiying's house know him. As soon as Lu Jinan arrived, a servant arranged for him to wait in the living room for a while, and he nodded and agreed.

"Thank you"

Seeing that it was a servant who was familiar with him pouring tea for himself, Lu Jinan was curious and asked her, "Who are the people who came to visit Li Sheng?" Li Sheng: When did they go up? ”

"About an hour ago, two gentlemen came to visit, one of them Lu Sheng, you have seen Li Chuming, as for the other one, it is the first time I have met, I only heard Mr. call him Bao Sheng"

He really didn't know who the parliamentarian surnamed Bao was, but the servant mentioned Lee Chu-ming, and Lu Jinan suddenly felt in his heart, this person is even the most famous pro-British parliamentarian in Hong Kong, and he is also one of the most opposed politicians to Hong Kong's return

In the past few years, this gentleman has not mixed well, but in the past two years, because of his resolute opposition to the return of Hong Kong, he was suddenly favored by hawkish politicians in the United Kingdom, not only was he frequently invited to give reports to universities and houses in the United Kingdom, but also began to follow the wind and water, not only became a member of the Legislative Council, but also was appointed as a member of the Law Reform Commission of Hong Kong and the chairman of the Consumer Association, and is the most famous 'star politician' in Hong Kong.

Although the two had only met the year before last, they had relied on each other in the political storm to criticize the leftists on the mainland and in Hong Kong, and both of them had earned sufficient political capital and won the favor of the Taiwan authorities and the British government. Lai Zhiying's "Next Magazine" broke the news everywhere to offend people, but it is developing bigger and bigger, and it is Lee Chu-ming who blocks a lot of pressure from celebrities in the business world for him.

Presumably, the maid in the house also told Li Zhiying that he was coming, but he didn't let him wait too long, Lu Jinan only sat in the living room on the first floor for a few minutes, and Li Zhiying, who was full of spring breeze, went downstairs and walked over with a smile.

"Anan, why do you have time to come to my house today? I'm sorry, I have a guest here" Li Zhiying, who was born in poverty, did not receive much education when he was young, but his temperament was not as vulgar as rumored outside, and he did not have the arrogant style after starting a business from scratch. On the contrary, he has always shown respect for people who are smarter than himself, which is why he was able to make hundreds of millions of dollars in the clothing business first, and then engage in media across the industry, which is also popular.

Although Lu Jinan was curious about what they were talking about, he also knew that he couldn't inquire, he was a smart person, and he heard the meaning of Li Zhiying's inquiry, and he was afraid that his matter hadn't finished yet, so he made a long story short: "Li Sheng, I'm here to disturb you today because I can't make a decision when I encounter something over there in Next Magazine." My paparazzi found big news about a well-known person, and I couldn't make a decision whether to publish it or not."

Li Zhiying's face was stunned when he heard this, he once promised not to interfere in the management of the editorial department when he dug Lu Jinan over, so almost all the content of "Next Magazine" was done by Lu Jinan. And when this gentleman used to work under Jin Yong, he was famous in the industry for repeatedly fighting with the stubborn Jin Yong, and he was famous for not being afraid of heaven and earth, and even he himself said that he dared to publish the gossip news of the Hong Kong governor. I couldn't help but wonder which well-known big man's news could make him say to himself, 'I can't decide,'

"Who's the other party?" Li Zhiying asked curiously.

The idea that he wanted to engage in the media originated the year before last. That year, the political storm blew from the north to Hong Kong, and he, who had always been hostile to the northern mainland, also took the opportunity to make a wave of trouble in Hong Kong, not only earning enough influence and political capital, but also getting to know many pro-British politicians. And he wanted to create a media that could easily influence and control the will of the people, and he did so at their suggestion.

After deciding to create a media group that could easily influence the will of millions of people in Hong Kong, Lai Zhiying made a perfect plan for himself, first avoiding the newspaper industry with fierce competition, and starting to gain a firm foothold in the relatively less competitive weekly market, and then entering the newspaper media industry after three or two years when it became bigger and stronger.

I have to say that in the more than a year since the establishment of "Next Magazine", everything has been according to his original plan. Under the influence of Lin Xiaozhi, Ni Zhen, who was supposed to be doing the magazine "P", went to learn from him to tinker with movies, and without this powerful opponent that should have existed in history, today's "Next Magazine" has become the largest circulation magazine in Hong Kong's weekly industry in just over a year with more bottomless reports than the "Oriental Daily" that started with entertainment news in the past, with each issue shipping more than 100,000 copies, and has won the favor of a large number of small citizens.

But it is such a powerful "Next Magazine", there is still someone who can make the editor-in-chief jealous, Li Zhiying is waiting for his answer, but unfortunately Lu Jinan did not speak, and directly took out a file bag from his briefcase and poured out a thick stack of photos and a few reports and handed them to him. Li Zhiying picked up the stack of photos and looked at them quickly for a while, and his face suddenly changed, and after reading twenty or thirty in a row, he took out a few more reports and looked at them, and after a while, he said meaninglessly: "It turned out to be his ......."

Lin Xiaozhi

This is an existence that the vast majority of people in Hong Kong need to look up to today, including him Lai Zhiying.

Some people are jealous of his good family background, and some people are sarcastic about the unbearable past and deliberately call it a derogatory "wealthy family, but more Hong Kong people have begun to look at him and his legend with admiration, praising him as a prodigal son," "talented, and even this young man who has created a myth of more than 10 billion yuan in just three or four years, and now he has won the honorific title of "Hong Kong's Murdoch", which can earn himself a wealth of six or seven billion Hong Kong dollars from scratch in just a few years, and there are few people who can do it in the whole of Hong Kong.

Because it is him, Lu Jinan will be afraid and dare not make a decision, just because this young man is now one of the bigwigs in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he can call the wind and rain in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. If you are a smart person, you will think carefully about whether it is worth it.

After reading the complete report that Shao Hongnian made and putting it next to him, Li Zhiying picked up a photo and looked at it for a while, Lin Xiaozhi in the photo was confident, young, and had too many things that made him jealous. Rao is concentration is good, and in an instant, he also had an emotion called jealousy, and sneered and mocked: "Yo, I didn't expect that our wealthy family, who rarely has scandals, also secretly raised women outside."

Lu Jinan nodded and asked: "This news is definitely hot enough, if it is reported, it will definitely set off a huge wave in Hong Kong." But because of this, we are worried that we will offend this wealthy man and attract his revenge. ”

After another pause, he saw that Li Zhiying seemed to be a little moved, and reminded: "After all, the legal department of Media Asia is not a vegetarian."

Holding the photo in his hand and shaking it, Li Zhiying squinted and thought. It's not that he doesn't know that Lu Dao is in danger, but after thinking about it for a while, he smiled and threw the photo on the sofa next to him, and said to him disapprerovingly: "Report, who has our "Next Magazine" been afraid of." Does he, Lin Xiaozhi, have the ability to gag other people's mouths? We don't report that sooner or later someone else will say"

His finger dotted on the thick stack of photos, "The photos are not adulterated, even if our gossip news is a bit of artistic processing, can he still sue us for slander?" If he really wants to sue, it depends on whether he still has the energy at that time. There is a lawsuit, I Li Zhiying took it, the lawyer I know is overseas, the big deal is to lose more than 100,000 yuan, and spend money to make a big promotion for our "Next Magazine", I am happy with this money

Lu Jinan was stunned when he heard this, and he was still a little hesitant in his heart.

However, Li Zhiying didn't mean to stop, pointed upstairs and looked at him and said, "Do you know who my guests upstairs are, they are all members of the Legislative Council." He Lin Xiaozhi is a good businessman, and he really thinks that if he hugs the thighs of the buns in the north, he will be able to gain power after Hong Kong's return to the motherland, thinking about it so beautiful, Anan, you should remember that this year, the Legislative Council members accused Hong Kong Governor Wilson of misappropriating government funds to support the mainland's disaster relief, right? Let me tell you, there are now more people in Britain who are dissatisfied with the current governor of Hong Kong, and the new prime minister, John Major, Hong Kong people call him Ma Cheuk-an, has already proposed a bill to change the governor of Hong Kong in both houses, and Hong Kong will soon be changed."

He got up and his eyes shone brightly: "Those buns, do you really think that the British will willingly give up Hong Kong to them?" Hmph, we'll see."
