What is going on? Could it be that something went wrong during the printing of the newspaper?
"You've printed it like this, how dare you send it out?"
"Tsk, tsk, there are only six words on this big piece of paper, 'This page is an advertising page', and the rest is all white. It would be good to take it back and give it to your child to practice calligraphy!"
"That's fine. The newspaper looks cleaner... But it looks a bit strange. There are words on one part and no words on the other, just like patched clothes..."
The Mirror has once again become a hot topic on the streets. There are different opinions, and all kinds of outrageous theories have come out: some say that the Mirror has been ordered by a big shot not to publish advertisements; some say that the editor-in-chief Xiao Jing has taken money for personal use.
After escaping, none of the remaining people knew how to advertise, so they could only leave them empty; some people said that the Mirror owed money to the printing workshop, and Xiao Jing persuaded him to get the credit opportunity, but the people in the workshop
Still based on the idea of ​​"I don't make money, you can't make money either", I just omitted the advertising aspect.
Xiao Jing, who was sitting firmly on Diaoyutai in Puhua Town, sipped his tea happily.
Since the establishment of the newspaper, he has not had the opportunity to take a good rest like today. Shao Ning and Su Yuxian are playing with Dong Huaiyuan, Dong Xiaoya is smiling on the side, and Pan Feiyu rarely washes his own clothes...
This is life!
The courtyard door was open. The door that had been struck by an ax had not been repaired at all. It was already dilapidated and crumbling, and it looked like it was accusing something.
Xiao Jing put down the tea cup and said leisurely: "It's almost time. Is it time for someone to come?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a call from outside: "Is Mr. Xiao here?"
"He's here!" Xiao Jing straightened his clothes and went out to welcome him. When he saw the person, he was "surprised and happy" and said: "Mr. Fan! You are a rare visitor. What kind of wind brings you here? Come on, come on.
Come on, come in quickly! Where’s Xiaoya, make some good tea I just bought two days ago!”
Xiao Jing was very enthusiastic, but Mr. Fan said lukewarmly: "I wonder what happened in the newspaper office? It turns out that the young master is so leisurely. I came here for nothing else, but I just want to ask the young master something: Today
Why don’t you see my home’s advertisement in the newspaper?”
Xiao Jing, who was originally smiling, suddenly changed his expression. He looked up to the sky with a frown, sighed, and made a "please" gesture forward.
As soon as he walked into the yard, Mr. Fan suddenly frowned. Soon, he covered his nose with his hand and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "It stinks!"
Looking around, I saw a few yellow and black things under the east wall of the south wall, and many flies were flying around it.
Is it poop?
Mr. Fan was an elegant person who worked in the home of a wealthy merchant. Where had he seen such a scene? He quickly turned his head away, covered his mouth and retched several times.
No wonder people from the newspaper office are active on the side of the south wall near the west wing. It turns out that’s why!
Mr. Fan said angrily: "Sir, if we are not villagers, how can we defecate in the open? Even if it is done by children, they should be taught how to use the toilet, and at the worst, they should clean up the filth. But you are like this
…”
Xiao Jing sighed again, looking helpless.
Mr. Fan couldn't help but paused and said: "Ever since Mr. Fan mentioned the advertisement, you have been frowning and sighing. Now, when it comes to cleaning up the pickled things on the floor, you still look like this. I dare to ask the young master, but you are suffering from Qi deficiency and blood deficiency.
Is there something wrong with you?"
Seeing that the other party was a little anxious, Xiao Jingcai said calmly: "Sir, please see, the filth is not just under the wall?"
Mr. Fan turned around and saw, right? There were traces of excrement flowing on that wall, which looked like the branches of trees in landscape paintings.
He suddenly felt something in his heart and said, "Did someone throw the dirt in from outside?"
Xiao Jing said: "To be honest, sir, that's exactly what it is."
After the two entered the room and the host and guest were seated, Xiao Jing said helplessly: "Sir, when you came in, did you pay attention to the ax mark on the door?"
Mr. Fan nodded and said: "Fan is still wondering why the gate is so damaged, but the young master hasn't found anyone to repair it. It turns out..."
Xiao Jing smiled mockingly and said, "What's the point of repairing it? Will I have someone hack it again?"
He stood up, supported the table with both hands, and said with a sad face: "Sir, I think you know the effect of advertising better than anyone else. As soon as the Mirror made some money with its ability, the advertising area was coveted. A few days ago, someone sent a book
He threatened to occupy the advertising space at a very low price and asked the newspaper to reserve the space for him before the next auction, but Xiao refused sternly.
Advertising space has always been awarded to the highest bidder. Members of the Communist Party of China are very generous and know that there are incomings and outgoings in business. Who cares about this little money? If the newspaper was forced to do it for him under threat, there would be many
People can’t take photos of advertising spaces. In this case, Xiao will break trust with others, how can this be done?”
Not long after, these people wrote again. The letter said that if I don't advertise for his family, then I won't advertise. Otherwise, the newspaper will never have peace. At first, Xiao thought it was a joke; but
, this man really dared to say and do: not only the door was hacked, feces was thrown into the courtyard, but also people wrote bloody words on the walls of the courtyard, and set fire outside the courtyard. All the neighbors can testify to these things!
People from the newspaper office gather here because they like newspapers. Not only Xiao and Pan Feiyu live in the yard, but also weak women and ten-year-old children! Yesterday, the fire burned outside the wall. Who knows tomorrow?
Where will the fire start again? Yesterday, the ax hit the door. Who knows where it will hit tomorrow! Xiao is a seven-foot man in vain, but he is unable to protect everyone. For everyone, I can only
I was able to compromise and removed all the advertisements from the newspaper."
At this point, Xiao Jing, who felt sad, wiped the corners of his eyes and said: "Xiao knows that he has failed all the advertisers, but this matter is related to the safety of everyone in the family, and Xiao Jing cannot allow him to do more.
Please don't blame Mr. Fan, Xiao Jing is here to apologize to you!"
After that, he made a gesture and bent down. Mr. Fan, who had been prepared for it, hurriedly supported him and said indignantly: "How unreasonable! Fan returned the mirror to report the breach of contract. It turns out that the young master also has his own reasons. In broad daylight, the world is bright, such evil people
Do you still have Wang Fa in your eyes?"
He helped Xiao Jing stand up straight, and then said cautiously: "May I ask Mr. Xiao, are the two letters still there? Can I borrow some insights from Fan?"
Xiao Jing took out the two letters with trembling hands. The more Mr. Fan read, the uglier his expression became. Finally, he became furious and said loudly: "Fan knows the difficulties of the young master. The things about the newspaper will be truthful when I go back next time."
Report it to the master and ask him to make a decision, and please be at ease, sir!"
Although they only kept the words alive and did not say "I will help" or anything like that, the enemy's situation is still unclear, and the enemy is not yet known. If you can say this, it can be regarded as expressing your "willingness to help".
.
Xiao Jing bowed his head to the ground and said loudly: "Well, thank you very much, Mr. Fan!"
