Chapter 59: Message from the Contact
Lin Hai recognized it at a glance, this is by no means a real literary youth, but an agent under the guise of a literary youth, yes, it is the agent Yang Shiyong, who is Lin Hai's contact, and the 'nephew' of Director Yang of the police station.
Lin Hai had to admit that Yang Shiyong's trick was really good, pretending to be a literary youth, and rationalizing the meeting and subsequent friendship between the two at once.
Without waiting for Lin Hai to answer, Yang Shiyong found out the person he was looking for from Zheng Yaoxin's eyes, of course, the truth was that Yang Shiyong already knew what the person he was looking for looked like.
Yang Shiyong stepped forward quickly, with a flattering smile on his face:
"You are Editor Lin, my name is Yang Shiyong, I am Teacher Xue, oh, it was Teacher Xue Linqian who introduced me to you."
Lin Hai raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was not yet time to go to work, and he didn't know if this guy had specially picked this time.
"Hello, I'm Lin Hai, let's go to the reception room to talk, you and Teacher Xue are..."
"Hehe, what, Mr. Xue is the husband of my mother's friend, hehe..."
Zheng Yaoxin pursed his lips, gave Lin Hai a vague look, smiled and got up and walked towards his seat, while Lin Hai stretched out his hand and motioned for Yang Shiyong to go with him.
Entering the reception room opposite the aisle, Lin Hai asked Yang Shiyong to sit, he went to the water dispenser and poured a glass of water for Yang Shiyong, then sat opposite Yang Shiyong, and looked at Yang Shiyong, Yang Shiyong is quite tall, about one meter eight, slightly athletic, but not that kind of muscular person, with a slightly long face and single eyelids, he looks a little gloomy when he is not smiling, and his eyes will squint when he laughs, so that Ran can not see his eyes clearly.
At the same time that Lin Hai has a large number of Yang Shiyong, Yang Shiyong is also a large number of Lin Hai.
Yang Shiyong didn't know what Lin Hai's identity was, although he knew that since his superiors didn't tell him, he shouldn't inquire about it, but he was still a little curious in his heart, so he wanted to guess Lin Hai's true identity through his own observations.
It's just that no matter how he looks at it, he thinks that Lin Hai is just an ordinary person, no different from those young people who work from 9 to 5 in the office, like dogs, desperately climbing towards a hopeless future, and even he thinks that Lin Hai is still a more mediocre category among these mediocre people.
However, the superiors obviously won't let themselves be an ordinary person's contact, so Lin Hai, who looks extremely ordinary on the surface, just shows that he is extraordinary, because he can hide all the extraordinary tightly, and he can't see any flaws at all, at least, Yang Shiyong can't see it.
As soon as he thought of this, Yang Shiyong put away the little caution hidden in his heart, and looked at Lin Haidao seriously:
"Editor Lin, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Saying that, Yang Shiyong took out a drop of manuscript paper from his bag, this is really a manuscript of a novella, of course, it was not written by Yang Shiyong, but the masterpiece of the colleague in charge of copywriting, although it was just a prop, but that colleague also wrote it very seriously.
Lin Hai smiled:
"You're welcome, reviewing manuscripts is originally within the scope of my work, even if you have nothing to do with Mr. Xue, we have to honestly review you when you come to submit."
"Hehe... Editor Lin, you are too modest, in the eyes of us literature lovers, you are not only the judge who holds the power of life and death of the work, but also the guide who can guide us. ”
Lin Hai picked up the manuscript and glanced at the name on the cover, then put it on the table, pressed one hand on the manuscript, looked up at Yang Shiyong with a smile and said softly:
"I'll read the manuscript carefully, and if it's convenient, tell me about the background and reasons for your creation. This helps me understand the work. ”
"Hey, hey... Is it convenient to talk here? ”
"Of course, as long as you don't shout."
Yang Shiyong grinned, then restrained his smile and replied seriously:
"I was instructed to report to you, the contact information is all there, those who do not involve confidentiality can contact in the usual way, if it involves confidentiality, you can make an appointment with me for a face-to-face interview, but the location is best determined by me."
Lin Hai nodded:
"Got it, you didn't write this product?"
"This is written by our colleague in charge of copywriting."
"I suggest that you better learn a little, if you want to integrate into my circle, this aspect must be indispensable."
"I understand, I will improve my literacy in this area as soon as possible."
"Okay, you'll go and communicate with your colleagues about what I said just now, and I won't necessarily ask you these questions next time."
"Yes, I'm here today mainly to connect with you, and in addition, we will set up some observation posts around you, of course, it will not involve your privacy, just to prevent people with ulterior motives."
Lin Hai didn't like it in his heart, but he didn't say anything on his face, just asked lightly:
"What kind of observation?"
"It's not really about tracking and spying on you, it's about observing the people who come into contact with you, and the people who try to get in touch with you, and analyzing whether they have other purposes, which is assigned by the superiors. Of course, we will not investigate those who have established a stable relationship with you and your loved ones, this observation refers to strangers and people whose identity is in doubt. ”
Lin Hai pouted secretly in his heart, what Yang Shiyong said may not be true, even if Yang Shiyong didn't lie, it doesn't mean that what he said is all, because Yang Shiyong may not know all the arrangements above. Besides, after Lin Hai was discovered by He Han, the details of him and everyone around him were probably checked by a certain department, and Yang Shiyong and these people could only see some superficial things at most.
In other words, Yang Shiyong told himself all this, in fact, some people passed a message to him, so that Lin Hai understood his real situation now.
Of course, there must also be a meaning to protect Lin Hai, after all, protecting Lin Hai from being discovered by other organizations is beneficial to both parties.
After Yang Shiyong said those words, he also stared at Lin Hai, wanting to see what kind of reaction Lin Hai would make, even if it was just a brief movement of his eyes, it would also help Yang Shiyong make some judgments about Lin Hai's true character, but unfortunately, Lin Hai's expression and eyes did not waver in the slightest, and he just nodded lightly when he heard the words.
"Well, anything else?"
Yang Shiyong nodded solemnly:
"One more thing, do you know Huang Yikun?"
Lin Hai was stunned for a moment, and then quickly rummaged through his brain, and soon he found the name from the conversation he had with his future mother-in-law when he visited Ye Xuexin's house last time.
"Huang Yikun? Seems to be a student of Xuexin's father, right? ”
"Yes, you've seen him?"
"No, just heard his name, what? Is there something wrong with this man? ”
Yang Shiyong nodded:
"Yes, we found that he seems to be behind the group of people who demonstrated at your publishing house and the Cultural Bureau last time."
Lin Hai's eyes narrowed, this thing is interesting, as the saying goes, people don't hurt the tiger's heart, the tiger hurts people's hearts, this Huang Yikun is going to do something!
The last time he saw that group of people making trouble downstairs, Lin Hai felt that this group of people had another purpose behind them, and now listening to Yang Shiyong's words, I'm afraid that the matter is still related to himself, of course, it can't be that someone specifically targeted him, but he must have been beaten by the grass.
"I heard that Huang Yikun's father is a member of the system?"
"Yes, Huang Yikun's father's name is Huang Yaosheng, the deputy mayor of the city, in charge of culture, education and health."
Lin Hai narrowed his eyes:
"This can only mean that Mayor Huang wants to do something, what does it have to do with me?"
Yang Shiyong leaned forward and said in a low voice:
"Yesterday we intercepted Huang Yikun's phone call, and he arranged for someone to put pressure on your publishing house to get the publisher to fire you."
Lin Hai chuckled, seemingly indifferent to this matter, and instead asked:
"Do you know something else, and they demand more from the publisher?"
Yang Shiyong asked curiously:
"You know this? Don't say it if it's inconvenient for you, I'm just a little curious. ”
"I don't know, I'm just guessing, can you tell me?"
"It's nothing, there are three relatively large publishing houses in our city, including Yunhai Publishing House, and Yunhai Publishing House has always had a good relationship with the official and has undertaken a lot of official publishing business, but once a son of heaven and a courtier, after the new mayor takes office, he will definitely knock on these enterprises that follow the previous mayor."
Lin Hai smiled noncommittally, if it wasn't for Yang Shiyong's deliberate concealment, or Yang Shiyong didn't know anything about politics at all, let alone the terrible background behind Yunhai Publishing House, Mayor Huang knocked Yunhai Publishing House not only out of selfishness, but for fear that the water was deep, as for himself, it should be Huang Yikun's fake public benefit, and by the way, he wanted to teach himself a lesson as a love enemy.
This Huang Yikun is also very ruthless, and he is ruthless when he comes up quietly, and it is really a dog bite that does not bark, fortunately he has a deep background, otherwise he may really be calculated by this goods, if it is not for Yang Shiyong to tell him, I am afraid that I will not know who to find if I am calculated.
"Now that I know this, what are you going to do? I'm referring to Huang Yikun. ”
"It depends on what you mean, I personally recommend ignoring it, he didn't achieve his goal anyway."
Of course, Yang Shiyong knew that the publishing house didn't want to move Lin Hai at all, he thought it was because of Lin Hai's ability, although he was a little curious, but he didn't investigate, and the above didn't let the investigation, since Lin Hai's status in the publishing house was as stable as Mount Tai, then there was no need to waste effort on Huang Yikun, if he did too much wrong, it would be unbeautiful for Huang Yikun to find out that there was a special department behind Lin Hai.
Yang Shiyong's meaning Lin Hai understands that even if he wants to do something to Huang Yikun, Yang Shiyong should not come forward, after all, Huang Yikun has a deputy mayor behind him, and Lin Hai doesn't know who else is behind the deputy mayor, Yang Shiyong's department or the police station will make the matter bigger and bigger, so that Lin Hai's name will enter the eyes of more people, so this matter must be solved by people at He Han's level.
"Okay, I'll solve this matter myself, you don't have to pay attention to it, but you can continue to pay attention to this person, and if he has any changes, notify me in time."
"Understood, then I don't have anything else to do here, do you have any other orders?"
"No, that's it, go back and remember to be a hard-working literary youth."
"Uh... Be. ”
