On the weekend, a teahouse outside the Chu Bao newspaper office.

Chu Mufeng received an invitation from Zhang Guangsheng to come over.

After all, Zhang Guangsheng plays a very important role in his future career, so he also attaches great importance to Zhang Guangsheng.

Besides, isn't it okay now? It's time to rest well on the weekend.

People can't always hold that string, and the combination of work and rest is king.

"Lao Zhang, how is the business of the newspaper recently?" Chu Mufeng picked up the teacup in front of him, smelled the leisurely fragrance of Anji white tea, took a shallow sip, and asked with a smile.

"Boss, the development of the newspaper is very good, and it has begun to make profits, but recently the sales have stabilized, and the growth rate is limited, and I am thinking about whether there is any good way to expand the sales performance."

Thinking of this, Zhang Guangsheng had a headache, his goal was not to be satisfied with the status quo, but to continue to grow and make the newspaper bigger and stronger.

"You don't have to be in a hurry, the market in Beiping City is so big, as long as the situation remains good."

After a little silence, Chu Mufeng pushed the teacup and said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, since the sales here can't go up, then let's change our thinking, shouldn't our newspaper be confined to one place?" ”

"Boss, do you mean to go to another city to set up a branch?" Zhang Guangsheng's brain also turned quickly, and he blinked and said with a little surprise.

He really didn't think about opening up a position now.

Of course, it is necessary to open up, after all, if the newspaper wants to develop, it is an inevitable choice to have more readers and cover more regions.

But now, is it necessary to be in such a hurry?

You must know that at present, this newspaper has just begun to make a profit, and it has not yet reached the point of making a profit, and if it continues to expand, it will require a lot of expenses.

"Not bad!"

On this issue, Chu Mufeng naturally had already made a conclusion.

Outside the city, there are garrisons of the island countries eyeing them and preparing to move, and with the sound of a gunshot at the Lugou Bridge, this place will become an enemy-occupied area next year.

If Chu Bao does not seize the time to develop in other cities, it will definitely be too late to do so after the fall.

Besides, after the fall, "Chu Bao" can still develop with peace of mind like now, is it possible? It's simply impossible.

Under the control of the despicable and shameless Japanese invaders, if the newspaper wants to survive, it can only grovel and smear and curry, but it can change the principle of reporting the news from facts, is that still "Chu Bao"?

Therefore, it is necessary to plan ahead and plan the layout in advance.

"Lao Zhang, if you say that the newspaper needs funds for its outward development, I will provide it, you don't have to worry about it at all. I have only one request, and that is to start a branch as soon as possible. ”

"It's certainly not realistic to cover the whole country at once, but at least set up a few key cities. In this way, you have recently drafted a plan, and the first branch will choose the mountain city! Chu Mufeng tapped his fingers on the table and said lightly.

"Mountain City?"

Zhang Guangsheng raised his eyebrows, feeling a little strange.

It's not Jinling, it's not Shanghai, the place where Chu Mufeng wants to develop Chu Bao is actually a mountain city, it doesn't make sense.

You must know that the place in the mountain city is not something that anyone can go in and run a newspaper office in, and he knows a little bit about the situation in the mountain city.

There are many robe clubs over there, and if a newspaper like theirs rushes in, you will encounter a lot of troubles and problems.

On the contrary, cities like Shanghai and Jinling are much more convenient, and Jinling is now the capital, and Shanghai is the financial center, so wouldn't it be more reasonable to build a branch there?

"Boss, the situation in that place in the mountain city is a bit special, and it's not suitable as the first target, right?" Zhang Guangsheng is not a person who only obeys orders, he will express his views and attitudes.

This kind of Zhang Guangsheng is exactly what Chu Mufeng wants most.

He doesn't need a submissive follower?

What you want is the kind of general who is assertive and does not blindly follow.

"Lao Zhang, do you think we can maintain this situation with the Japanese invaders now? Or in other words, do you think that you have invaded Dongshan Province, and these insatiable little devils will turn a blind eye to the fat of Beiping City? ”

Chu Mufeng knew that he had to say something to Zhang Guangsheng, otherwise this guy might not be willing to do his best to do this well.

Hearing this, Zhang Guangsheng's eyelids twitched twice, and then a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, instantly clarifying Chu Mufeng's thoughts.

He said in a somewhat dry voice: "Boss, are you worried that once China and Japan go to war, it will affect the situation in Beiping City?" ”

"Not bad!"

Chu Mufeng said calmly: "In my opinion, there will inevitably be a war between China and Japan. As long as there is a war, what do you say will happen if Beiping City is in it? It is inevitable that it will be baptized by war. ”

"At that time, it will be nothing more than two endings, either win or lose, if you win, it's okay to say, but what if you fail? That will inevitably be invaded by Japan, right? ”

"At that time, our newspaper still wanted to develop like it is now, do you think it is possible? Because of this, let's make a two-handed plan and go to the mountain city to develop the layout, which is also what we should do, right? ”

Zhang Guangsheng took a deep breath, stared into Chu Mufeng's eyes, and said seriously: "You are right! This matter is narrow-minded, the battle between China and Japan will not be won or lost, we must all plan a way out. So, when I get back, I'm going to do it, and try to come up with a charter in the shortest possible time. ”

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, I'll pay for you!" Chu Mufeng nodded and said, he was still very satisfied with being able to persuade Zhang Guangsheng, which showed that Zhang Guangsheng was not a pedantic person.

After finishing the business, Zhang Guangsheng followed and said: "Boss, please come out this time, there is one more thing I want to tell you, I hope you don't mind." ”

"What's the matter?" Chu Mufeng said lightly.

"It's that Mrs. Helian wants to personally thank you for Jiang Yi and Huang Xiaoxie, but I don't know if it's convenient for you here, so I asked me to ask."

"There is also that Huang Xiaoxie, that kid admires and worships you very much now, and he has to perform a mouse show for you in person, he said that you helped him avenge the blood and the sea of blood, and he has nothing to do to repay him, so he can only show his heart like this, you see?"

Zhang Guangsheng asked cautiously.

What a thing!

After Chu Mufeng listened, he looked at Zhang Guangsheng and asked seriously: "Old Zhang, I have heard you say it before, but I don't know much about it, can you tell me what is going on with this Mrs. Helian now?" What the hell is she doing, and can this person be trusted? ”

"Boss, Helian is a heroine with faith, conviction and enthusiasm!" Zhang Guangsheng also looked full, on this issue, he was telling the truth, and he didn't dare to be false.

"Tell me, what has she done?" Chu Mufeng asked lightly.

"Good!"

Zhang Guangsheng told everything he knew, and everything he did was told the truth, without any oil and vinegar, and the original narrative.

A heroine who robs the rich and helps the poor.

A female judge who punishes traitors.

Assassins who assassinate little devils.

As long as Zhang Guangsheng knows, he will say it all this time.

He is now in a relationship with Chu Mufeng, so there is no need to hide these things.

And he also knew that the young man in front of him was also a person who cared about the country and was full of justice, but he was not rigid, as long as these facts were said, they could add a good impression to Helian Lingxi.

"In short, Helian Lingxi is a person who does not seek personal gain, has a bottom line of principles in everything she does, and will never betray the country and the nation, she is worthy of trust!" Zhang Guangsheng closed the coffin.

"She should still have someone under her, right?" Chu Mufeng asked thoughtfully.

If you want to do these things, she will definitely not be able to do it alone, if you don't have enough power in your hands, can you do this?

There is no doubt that it cannot be done 100%.

Zhang Guangsheng didn't have the slightest intention of hiding this, and said very frankly: "There is indeed a team under Helian, there are not many people, but all of them are elite soldiers. ”

"The elite soldiers I am talking about do not only refer to force, but to say that they all have their own unique skills, like Huang Xiaoxi's tricks and Jiang Yi's disguise technique, so it should be more accurate to describe them as strange people in the rivers and lakes."

"That's it!"

Chu Mufeng stood up, walked a few steps in the private room, and suddenly turned around and asked, "You say, is it possible to let Madame Helian serve me?" ”

"For you?"

Zhang Guangsheng was slightly stunned, and said with some embarrassment: "Boss, I really don't dare to say this, Helian has always been a very individual person, and he belongs to the kind of person who will never compromise as long as he sees a direction." ”

This is already very clear, that is, Helian Lingxi may not serve Chu Mufeng.

"Let's not talk about this for the time being, you can contact her, just say that I agreed, we can meet tonight, speaking of which, I also want to talk to her!" Chu Mufeng squinted his eyes and said.

"Okay, I'll get back in touch!"

……

At the same time, Huaihua Hutong, Chen Bailu's house.

Recently, Chen Bailu's mood has been very comfortable, after all, Wang Manyu's condition has been controlled, although he has not fully recovered, I believe it is only a matter of time.

"Man Yu, you said we should go back to our hometown in the mountain city, right?"

Chen Bailu brought over a bowl of freshly boiled Chinese medicine, and after Wang Manyu finished drinking, such a sentence suddenly popped up.

This made Wang Manyu a little surprised, and after handing the bowl back, he asked strangely: "Bailu, why do you suddenly want to go back?" ”

"Because it's our hometown, and your condition has stabilized recently, I think it's better to go back and recuperate, and I know that you've always wanted to go back."

"Manyu, as the saying goes, the fallen leaves return to the roots, we have been in Beiping for so long, we should go back and see. It's also easier for you to recover, and since the school over there has telegraphed me several times, I think it's a good idea to go back and teach. Chen Bailu stroked his wife's hair and said.

"I'll listen to you." Wang Manyu's eyes are full of tenderness, and there are a lot more white hairs on her husband's sideburns.

"Well, I'll talk back then!"

"But what about the newspaper?" Wang Manyu followed and asked.

"Newspaper?"

Chen Bailu raised his head and said, "I'll go to President Zhang in the afternoon to talk about this!" ”
