Sponsored by Xinghua News Agency, the newspaper has a daily circulation of more than 3.5 million copies.

In addition, "Reference Daily" is also one of the only two newspapers in mainland China that can legally and directly publish foreign news, and it selects the latest news and commentary from all over the world every day, and reports international and domestic news in an all-round and multi-perspective way, which is one of the most important channels for domestic people to directly report foreign news.

There is no doubt that the influence of the "Reference Daily", which has such a background and strength, in the mainland of China is undoubtedly immeasurable.

At the same time, many of the staff members of the "Reference Daily", especially those reporters who are currently editing, have the strength, self-confidence, and even arrogance that surpass the reporters of other newspapers in the country.

For example, this time, when Zhao Xingchi announced to the outside world through Silian Publishing House that he was about to announce a major news at the signing meeting in Zhouhang, reporters from many major newspapers in Zhouhang came to the signing meeting as quickly as possible to wait, but none of the reporters from the "Reference Daily" came.

Yan Minjun informed Zhao Xingchi that Silian Publishing House sent an invitation letter to the "Reference Daily", but the "Reference Daily" never replied to them, obviously not taking Zhao Xingchi seriously.

Zhao Xingchi was quite angry, but he couldn't do anything about the "Reference Daily", and with the strength of the "Reference Daily", he was indeed qualified to ignore him.

What Zhao Xingchi didn't know was that after receiving the invitation letter, the "Reference Daily" did not deliberately ignore him, but because the "Reference Daily" did not have a reporter in the Zhouhang area.

As a matter of fact, after receiving the invitation letter from the Silian Publishing House, the "Reference Daily" immediately decided to send a reporter to rush over, but this reporter was delayed on the road for half a day, so he waited until the signing meeting was held normally, and their reporter was still in a hurry on the road.

The reporter sent by the "Reference Daily" to interview was named Xia Qingqing, female, 24 years old, from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

Xia Qingqing is not a beauty, or should it be said that she is not a beauty in appearance, because her appearance is just average, less than the top but more than the bottom, no man will think that her appearance is a beauty. However, she graduated from Jiangsu and Zhejiang University at the age of 21, and after everyone looked at her a few more times, they would sigh from their hearts: "There is poetry and books in the belly!" ”

That's right, Xia Qingqing is not a beauty in appearance, but she is a temperamental beauty!

The temperament beauty is not amazing, but the face and the sparkle of the eyes make people feel more and more tasteful, and even taste a unique beauty enjoyment, and the appearance is very attractive.

Xia Qingqing drove a low-key Volkswagen car on the road, biting her lip lightly, her brows furrowed, obviously in a very unhappy mood.

Sitting in the co-pilot seat was a childish young man named Lu Ishi, a college student who had just graduated from Jiangsu and Zhejiang University, and was still Xia Qingqing's younger brother. Lu I Shi is currently interning in the "Reference Daily", following Xia Qingqing behind, running errands, doing chores and assistants, and sometimes having to carry a camera to shoot.

"Sister Qingqing, who are we going to interview this time? In such a hurry, there are so many big names in the people? What kind of high-ranking official is it? Lu I Shi was very puzzled by Xia Qingqing's actions, this was the first time he saw Xia Qingqing frowning and pondering, and he was driving so fast.

Xia Qingqing was obviously stunned for a moment, but he didn't speak for a while.

finally waited for her to come to her senses, but then she said, "Oh oh...... What did you say? I didn't hear clearly, you say it again. ”

“…… cough cough ......" Lu My Master was speechless, choking and coughing.

After a while, Master Lu repeated the question just now.

This time, Xia Qingqing finally heard it clearly, but the tone of the answer was very unhappy, and after sneering, he said: "Cut, what a big name, it's just a young writer who has just emerged." ”

"A young writer in his early teens? Wouldn't it, our "Reference Daily" even have to report such news? This is not in line with the tradition of our newspapers! Lu asked in astonishment.

Although Lu I Shi has not been in the "Reference Daily" for a long time, he is very familiar with the rules of the "Reference Daily". In his impression, the news reported by the "Reference Daily" is not important domestic and international news, but should be comments by experts, articles by a special commentator, the development of a certain major scientific and technological development, and so on, because the main audience groups of the "Reference Daily" are cadres and leaders of party and government organs, groups with high educational qualifications and high incomes, and experts and scholars who are more concerned about current political news.

Not to mention a young writer who has just emerged, even if he is a master-level writer, unless there are special circumstances and really great influence, it is impossible to appear in the "Reference Daily".

Xia Qingqing sneered and said: "Your name is still my teacher, threesome, there must be my teacher, but I didn't expect it to be an elm head." Don't you know that the reason why this writer came out is entirely because of the very effective building of spiritual civilization in our country? ”

Lu My Master was stunned for a moment, then patted his head and said with a wry smile: "Sister Qingqing, you can see far-reaching." ”

Xia Qingqing snorted lightly, her face indifferent.

Lu My Master then asked, "By the way, Sister Qingqing, who is this young writer who is just starting out?" Do I recognize it? ”

Xia Qingqing pondered for a while, and then said: "You should know, he is the recently popular historical novel writer Jin Gu Legend, whose real name is Zhao Xingchi, a native of Changnan City, Xijiang Province. ”

"It's him!" Lu My Master suddenly shouted.

"Of course it's him, and our "Reference Daily" happens to be a newspaper in Xijiang Province." Xia Qingqing suddenly said something like this.

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Lu My division was choked again.

Xia Qingqing was full of resentment, even if it was an elm head, he should understand it at this time. It turned out that the real reason for Xia Qingqing's troubles and unhappiness was this, because he couldn't get used to seeing people because of his hometown relationship, so he specially chose Stephen Zhao as the protagonist of this report.

Fifteen minutes later, the two of them, who had been silent all the way, finally arrived at the scene of the signing meeting.

To the relief of the two, although Stephen Zhao was already standing on the stage and was talking, he should not have announced the so-called major news yet, so they were not too late.

After negotiating with the on-site staff, Xia Qingqing led the landing division and hurriedly walked into two empty positions in the reporter group, which were prepared by the Silian Publishing House for the reporters sent to the scene by the "Reference Daily" early in the morning.

On the stage, looking at the hundreds of book lovers and one or twenty reporters in the audience, all looking forward to the major news he was about to announce, Stephen Zhao felt a sense of accomplishment at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a coldness, a lonely coldness, a psychological loneliness.

"It's cold in the heights!" Zhao Xingchi thought to himself.

Zhao Xingchi took a few deep breaths, slowly suppressed the strange emotion in his heart, brewed a feeling, and began to organize the language to announce: "...... There is only one big news I want to announce, and that is that I will be launching my second novel, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, which is a martial arts novel, on May 1st of next month. I can't guarantee that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will become a famous book for centuries, but I am confident that it will be a martial arts novel that most martial arts fans love. Because I'm not like some of the people who play tricks, who are not strong, so they have to deceive the reader by fooling and making things up. I'm different because I'm mindful! ”
