029: Zhao Jiang's mental journey - despair

The same person who received the court summons was also "Tian Tian Daily", and they copied the layout design of "Dongxing Daily" and could not use it.

The newspaper was suspended for rectification, even if the layout is redesigned now, it will take time, this series of blows made Zhao Jiang desperate, he knew that he was mostly finished.

The one who once said arrogantly, "Lao Zhao, this is just the beginning, and the excitement is still to come!" Liu Zhiyuan's phone can no longer be reached; Liu Zhiyuan, who once made a promise to bring the "Daily Daily" to one peak after another with himself, can't find it now, and the phone lines may have been unplugged.

In less than half a month, Zhao Jiang has experienced too much, too much.

Now the "Daily Daily" left him with only despair and sadness, looking at the "Daily Daily" building, Zhao Jiang felt sour in his heart, this may be the last time he will come back!

In order to repay the debt, the newspaper has been shot by him, and this child he brought up single-handedly finally called someone else's father.

"Liu Zhiyuan!" This is an eternal pain in Zhao Jiang's heart, if it weren't for the sudden disappearance of the other party, Zhao Jiang would not have lost confidence, running a newspaper, but "Liu Zhiyuan" was like the last straw that crushed the camel.

defeated Zhao Jiang's psychological last line of defense, and also shattered Zhao Jiang's last hope.

The next day, the Chinese newspaper of All Xiangjiang was suspended, and only one "Dongxing Daily" was still in circulation, and it was not known what relationship Da Mo had used.

Yesterday evening, the Commissioner of the Heung Kong Police Department had a special telephone conversation with the Kowloon Tong Police Station and explained that the other party was focusing on the "East Star Daily" building in order to prevent dangerous elements such as associations from making radical incidents, and just last night, a group of pony boys who wrote threatening slogans and splashed paint on the "East Star Daily" building were arrested and returned to the police station in several cars.

Xiao Tang sat in the office, listening to the wind and rain outside the house, and his heart was not a taste, he had thought that if he did this, he might attract the suppression of the community, but although his methods were fierce, it was an out-and-out shortcut, because today the whole Xiangjiang newspaper was suspended, and the circulation of "Dongxing Daily" directly increased geometrically, as of 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the total circulation exceeded 650,000, which can be said to be the largest in the history of Xiangjiang, and it can be said that it seized the blank market after the closure of many major newspapers in one day. There are also a large number of people who came into contact with the "East Star Daily" for the first time, some out of curiosity about the "East Star Daily", and some because they are used to reading newspapers, and there is only one "East Star Daily" at the newsstand, so they bought it and took it home to read.

Most of these people are new readers, but the first time they read the "East Star Daily", they were also deeply attracted to it.

It's just that what makes people dumbfounded is that the hot spot of "Dongxing Daily's lawsuit against 46 newspapers in Hong Kong" has just been stirred up by the melon-eating masses, but "Dongxing Daily" suddenly unilaterally withdrew the lawsuit and applied for an out-of-court settlement, but the demand is that other newspapers must not continue to steal the pages of "Dongxing Daily", and the defendant publicly apologizes to "Dongxing Daily".

In fact, according to Xiao Tang's original plan, he first negotiated with 46 newspapers, and how long could it be delayed, but he received a document from the Hong Kong Governor's Office, and this time the impact of this incident was too great, and the Hong Kong government could not accept it, and a ruling newspaper company was born, which was not in line with their British interests and status in Hong Kong.

And Xiao Tang had no choice but to succumb, he was not qualified to say "no" to the British government in Hong Kong now! ”

So when he received the documents, Xiao Tang weighed it and called Zhang Yi from the Kowloon Court. Zhang Shan was asked to withdraw the lawsuit.

The explosion incident that was originally full of wind and rain in the city became a farce and ended hastily.

However, the effect that Xiao Tang wanted was halfway, which made him very satisfied.

……

"Oriental Daily" headquarters building, today, Ma Ruxi, who is also the founder and chairman of the newspaper, has not come to the company, and the entire meeting is in charge of the editor-in-chief Liu Jin. I heard that the boss was sick and went to the hospital to see a tooth.

While Liu Jin was very happy, he was also very grateful to Boss Ma's two teeth,—— it was too timely.

Clearing his throat, Liu Jin glanced around and said, "What do you think?" "The senior management of the "Oriental Daily" sat and looked at me, and I looked at you, and they didn't say anything for a while.

Liu Jin had no choice but to call the department head of a newspaper and ask him to draft the "Apology Letter" for tomorrow's newspaper.

Although the boss hated the newspaper very much, he had to do the same thing on the surface.

However, to Liu Jin's surprise, just halfway through their meeting, a secretary ran into the conference room and announced to everyone the order of the boss Ma Ruxi: "Whoever dares to write a public apology letter for the Oriental Daily, I will cut off the hand on which he writes." ”

For a while, everyone looked at each other, they can see it now, the boss is going to be hard to the end, and the rhythm of "Dongxing Daily" is endless, one or two are now a little headache, originally this matter is his infringement first, people only let you apologize, it is already very cheap for you, a very simple thing has to be difficult to do, because in Liu Jin and their people, this is to bear the pressure of public opinion.

But when he thought of the boss's background, Liu Jin was relieved again, is the boss the kind of person who cares about public opinion? Obviously, it was a collision with "East Star Daily".

On the contrary, in the "Ming Pao" building, when Shen Baoxin walked into Jin Yong's office, Jin Daxia was writing hard at the desk.

"Liangyong, do we really want to apologize? Will this be detrimental to our reputation? Looking at Jin Yong, who was writing, Shen Baoxin, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't help but ask the question in his heart after all.

"Baoxin, what do you think about this matter?" Jin Yong suddenly paused and looked up at his old friend Shen Baoxin.

Shen Baoxin stood and looked at Jin Daxia with a solemn face, her lips moved, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, so she simply fell silent.

"This time, we are not right first, people sue us, we have to admit that as a well-known newspaper in Hong Kong, we need to have our own responsibility, this incident also reminds us that we must pay more attention to details in the future, as for the reputation ......" Jin Yong frowned slightly, sighed and said: "Slowly go back!" ”

"Alright then!" Shen Baoxin shrugged.

"Okay, this is my handwritten letter of apology, you go and bring it to the editorial department, and tomorrow we will publish it with the headlines of the old version of the previous page." Jin Yong picked up the page in his hand from the table and handed it to Shen Baoxin.

Shen Baoxin was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Can't you just find someone for this little thing?" ”

Jin Yong shook his head, but did not explain.

Shen Baoxin didn't ask anymore, and then went out with Jin Yong's manuscript, but after Shen Baoxin left, Jin Yong was stunned in the office.

This time, "Ming Pao" dug up Ni Frame's "Hair" and copied the layout of other people's "Dongxing Daily", no matter what, it is a bit of a bully. The most embarrassing thing is that they bullied the small and let people sue them.

No matter what he said, Jin Yong's face felt hot, which was why he didn't want to explain it to Shen Baoxin.

"Boom, boom, the thunder outside the house suddenly exploded, and a torrential rain poured down in a moment," Jin Daxia couldn't help but squint his eyes, looked out of the house, and said in his heart: "This ghost weather." ”

……

The night is full of sky, and occasionally a few shocks appear in the clouds.

The heavy rain has lasted for more than three hours, Xiao Tang was trapped in the office building, and finally just about to be ruthless, braving the rain to catch up with the rental apartment, a taxi suddenly stopped at the bottom of the steps of the building.

"Hitchhiker, boss!" A voice that was colder than the night came into Xiao Tang's ears, and through the faint light from the outside world, Xiao Tang saw that the driver was a young man in a leather jacket, with a lean board hair, and the whole person looked particularly sharp.

Xiao Tang smiled and said, "Of course, go to Fuxing Apartment, thank you!" Xiao Tang didn't expect that his luck would be so good today, so coincidentally he met a passing taxi, so he got into the empty seat in the back of the car without warning, took off the somewhat wet blazer on his body, and put it on the crook of his arm.

The taxi driver in a leather jacket didn't speak, and directly started the vehicle and drove north.

"Friend, my house is in the east, do you know the way?"

"Oh, is it? I didn't make a mistake! ”

"Where do you want to go?"

"Send the boss, you go home!" The taxi driver said.

Xiao Tang already felt wrong at this time, this is not going home but on the road! However, looking at the speed of the car, Xiao Tang did not overreact, after all, this taxi was obviously carefully modified, and glanced at the driver coldly, Xiao Tang just said, "Okay, call me when you get to the ground" and closed his eyes and recuperated. ”

This made the "knife" in front of him stunned for a moment, and suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, but the smile was very cruel.

……

North, on the banks of deep rivers,

"How's that, nice place! Boss Ma chose it specifically for you. ”

"Boss Ma?" Xiao Tang thought in his heart, looking at the young man who was playing with the butterfly knife opposite, his eyes slowly became solemn, his expression was cold, his eyes were cold,

"It's the boss of "Oriental Daily", right?" Xiao Tang asked.

"If you know, just die!" The movement in the knife hand suddenly paused, and he pounced directly on Xiao Tangfei.

He is Ma Ruxi's confidant, and he has done a lot of dirty work for the other party over the years.

In Xiaodao's opinion, Xiao Tang is just the same as those who did right with Boss Ma in the past.

"Whoosh~Whoosh~" The sound of two sharp blades breaking through the air brushed Xiao Tang's ears, and his heart moved. Although Xiao Tang had not systematically practiced martial arts, the combat instinct honed in his predecessor was still there, and he narrowly avoided the two attacks of the knife with just a slight side, and then followed by a fierce leg sweep and slammed into the opponent's ankle.

The torrential rain was still pouring, there was only the glimmer of a taxi on the deserted beach, and the cold glow of the butterfly knife in the knife's hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, the knife snorted coldly, jumped up and kicked Xiao Tang's chest directly. Xiao Tang couldn't dodge with his previous strength, and he was kicked hard, and took a few steps backwards, but the knife was a killer who was the best at seizing opportunities, how could he let go of the opportunity to take advantage of his illness to kill him, and the butterfly knife in his stride hand cut through the flesh under Xiao Tang's shirt as soon as he flipped over, and blood overflowed.

A sense of anger arose from the bottom of my heart, as if I had returned to the battle group of thousands of people. Xiao Tang grabbed the collar and directly tore the shirt on his body, revealing the strong muscles of his upper body and the seven or eight wounds that were cut by the knife, his eyes were red, he no longer cared about whether the butterfly knife would bring him fatal injury, but clenched his hands into fists and fought with the knife.

"Desperate?" The knife couldn't help sneering, and the two of them fought together. I saw Xiao Tang smash a punch, the momentum sank, and the knife went to block one punch, so he no longer wanted to continue to block the second punch, because Xiao Tang's strength was too great, and his arm was numb and almost out of strength with just one punch.

It's just that the most taboo thing is to have scruples, seeing that the knife doesn't dare to fight, Xiao Tang opens and closes even more.

"Boom!" A thunderbolt appeared, and a cold light swept away from the neck less than two inches, soaked in rain, Xiao Tang felt a chill in his neck, but Xiao Tang did not have the slightest fluctuation in his heart, and his face was indifferent, at this time, as soon as he grabbed the other party's wrist, he was about to use his strength to break it alive, but Xiaodao noticed that something was wrong in his heart, and he jumped directly into the deep river, and Xiao Tang also fell into the river.

The two scuffled and fought in the river.

Less pouring, the water splashed everywhere, only to see a stream of blood gushing, the river was red, and finally there was no movement.

After a long time, he found a figure in the river, and he swam eastward for more than ten minutes, paused, waited, and swam west for more than half an hour, but he swam farther and farther away from the riverbank, until an hour later he stopped in the deep river.

The pouring rain poured down from the sky, and there was no intention of stopping.

Xiao Tang wiped the rain on his face, and floated in the middle of the river at a loss, he was lost, he couldn't tell the southeast and northwest at all now, and there was water all around, if he soaked until tomorrow morning, he wouldn't be swollen.

But if he swims blindly like this, he may be tired to death, Xiao Tang made a mistake for a while, and stopped in the water shirtless.

After a while, Xiao Tang gritted his teeth and said secretly in his heart: "It's out of the way, if he lets Lao Tzu swim to Houhai, he will be a warrior and do it." ”

Xiao Tang was ruthless, burying his head in a fierce swim, like a baby fish in the deep river, drilling around, but this time he changed his strategy and swam in one direction, as for where he could swim, it was up to fate.

Everything is fate, everything is providence, anyway, you can't soak yourself in the water.

After falling into the river with the knife before, Xiao Tang solved the knife directly under the water with the help of the superb swimming skills in his previous life, and after solving the knife, Xiao Tang wanted to go ashore quickly, so he predicted the direction according to his memory, and swam to the "shore" suddenly, but after he swam for more than ten minutes, he couldn't swim to the shore for a long time.

Fortunately, he is not the kind of person who gives up easily, and this time he directly chose a new direction and swam down.

Just this tour.

"Alas!!"
