Ao Hing is a mid-to-high-end Western-style hotel in Central, and the owner of the hotel, a Londoner, is where Su Jingxian and two editors hired from the United States with high salaries are staying in the hotel.

Su Jingxian and Chen Bingzhong came to a room outside the Aoxing Hotel and knocked lightly.

There was a soft noise in the guest room, and through the cat's eye, a shadow could be seen behind the door, apparently the people inside were peeking into the hotel hallway.

"Johnny, Paul, I'm your boss, don't be nervous." Through the door of the guest room, Su Jingxian reported his identity in English.

There was a sound of the deadbolt ringing, and the door opened from the inside, and the two American ghosts looked a little unnatural, although they had confirmed Su Jingxian's identity, they still poked their heads out and looked at both sides of the corridor.

"Believe me, no one will be bored enough to come to Hong Kong to arrest you and punish you." Su Jingxian shrugged his shoulders and beckoned Chen Bingzhong, who was beside him, into the guest room.

The two ghost editors who came all the way from the United States have been so nervous that they don't even dare to go out of the hotel since they learned that Playboy Company was completely controlled by a Chinese like Su Jingxian.

They used to live in two single rooms at the Auchen Hotel, but now they have replaced the rooms with a double room for mutual comfort, and they buy a copy of The New York Times every morning lest their names and photos appear in the newspapers.

After opening his mouth to comfort him, Su Jingxian closed the door, walked into the room with Chen Bingzhong, and sat on the edge of the bed casually.

"I'm not biased against the Chinese, but if I had known in advance that the boss of the company would be Chinese, maybe I would have carefully considered this trip to Hong Kong." Johnny Bauken stood in the doorway, smiling and dissatisfied.

His other companion, Paul Wells, nodded in agreement and complained, "Damn Thompson lied to me, he told me that the Playboy boss was an Englishman. ”

Chen Bingzhong couldn't understand English, and listened to the two ghosts muttering a long list, and glanced at Su Jingxian curiously.

"They compliment you on looking good in your suit." Su Jingxian smiled at Chen Bingzhong, then looked at Johnny and Paul, and winked at them, "Thompson didn't lie to you, the nominal big boss of the playboy is indeed an Englishman, and he is a military official who has been recognized by King George and Queen Mary, but that British official owes me a lot of money, so he mortgaged the company's shares to me." ”

It's okay to fool a three-year-old child, but two adults certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to believe it.

But even if they don't believe it, there is no way, Johnny and Paul, who have come to Hong Kong and signed a three-year labor contract with Playboy Company, are now riding tigers and are firmly tied to Su Jingxian's boat.

"Don't worry, in three years' time, the devil knows what will happen in America, and that rogue politician may die tomorrow from alcohol, cancer, or even a shooting." Su Jingxian casually comforted the two, and then entered the topic, "Let's talk about the current matter, how is the first issue of the magazine doing?" ”

Paul, who looked a little distracted, opened the bedside table, took out the sample journal that Su Jingxian sent to the United States for review that day, and took out a thick stack of manuscript paper and threw it on the bed.

"Except for the stunner photo on the Sugar Baby page, most of the other articles are garbage, and we have rearranged the new articles according to the column category." Paul glanced at Su Jingxian's expression and added, "If those articles were written by you, I will take back what I just said, boss." ”

Su Jingxian smiled, put the manuscript paper full of foreign characters on his lap and looked through it, lowered his head and said, "Of course not, they are all from the hands of an employee named Zhong Qiang under my command." ”

I have to say that although the two American ghosts are dissatisfied with Su Jingxian's behavior of half-deceiving them to come to Hong Kong, they still have basic professional ethics, which can be found from the manuscript in hand.

After flipping through a few pieces of manuscript paper, Su Jingxian felt that compared with what these two professionals wrote, the results of him and Zhong Qiang's work behind closed doors in the Hilton Hotel that day were indeed not very good.

"Uncle Zhong, put away the sample journal and manuscript first, wait for you to return to the company, hand over the English on the manuscript to the translation department, and after the translation is completed, according to the layout of the sample journal, make two new sample publications, one in Chinese and one in English."

The translation department set up by China Hong Kong Daily was the only one in the Hong Kong newspaper industry at this time, and the original intention of its establishment was to translate foreign current affairs news and fill the blank space of the newspaper.

Because there was too much manuscript paper in his hand, and there were still a lot of waste manuscripts in it, Su Jingxian didn't read all of them, only picked a few interesting columns and flipped through them, and then opened his mouth and ordered Chen Bingzhong, who came with him.

Chen Bingzhong took the sample journal and the manuscript, he didn't understand English, so he directly put the two things into the leather bag he carried, and nodded to Su Jingxian to show his understanding.

"After the Chinese version of the new sample is made, you and other colleagues can see what improvements there are, and you have to help me pay attention to a few qualified magazine editors at leisure, with drawings, text, and typesetting." Su Jingxian yawned, stood up and said to Chen Bingzhong, "By the way, leave the gift for the ghost guy, let's flash first." ”

Chen Bingzhong took out two boxes of cigars from his leather bag and placed them on the bedside table, smiling at Johnny and Paul.

Su Jingxian walked to the door and said, "I heard Thompson say that both of you love cigars, so I specially asked someone to buy two boxes of Upman for you, I hope you have a happy time in Hong Kong." ”

After coming out of the Aoxing Hotel, Su Jingxian bought a new evening newspaper in front of a bookstore and went directly to the Arabian Nights column.

Su Jingxian can be sure that the first novel of Grandmaster Liang in the previous generation was definitely not the Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountain, but now in the novels serialized by the Arabian Nights, the familiar character names of Yang Yuncong, Chu Zhaonan and Wu Yuanying made him slightly stunned.

The China Hong Kong Daily serialized the new martial arts novels one step in advance, which would have an impact and make Seven Swords come out in advance, which he did not expect.

"Uncle Zhong, last time you asked you to talk to this Mr. Liang, did he have any intention of coming to China and Hong Kong?" Standing at the door of the bookstore, Su Jingxian looked at the new evening newspaper in his hand and asked Chen Bingzhong beside him.

Chen Bingzhong shook his head lightly when he heard this: "I also learned not long ago that this Mr. Liang is Chen Wentong, he is well-known in the newspaper industry, from the editor-in-chief of the supplement of Ta Kung Pao to the editorial committee of the New Evening News. I invited him to come to China and Hong Kong, and even said that the editor-in-chief position would sit for him, but he was not very interested in his appearance, and only said that he would go back and think about it, and give me an answer later. ”

Hearing Chen Bingzhong say that he planned to take the initiative to give up the position of editor-in-chief to Chen Wentong, Su Jingxian smiled: "I only know that this Mr. Chen's novels are well written, and I have never seen his editing talent, but Uncle Zhong is the editor-in-chief in China and Hong Kong, and I am much easier to be the boss, so even if he is willing to come, your editor-in-chief position will not change!" ”
