But before he could sit firmly on his butt, his colleague Mao Yuchun pushed open the office door and ran in hastily.
"It exploded! It exploded!"
Lin Yuandong just took a sip of water, but was caught off guard and choked directly.
I’m glad I didn’t cough myself to death.
He patted his chest and said.
"Lao Mao, what happened to you today? Are you so excited?"
The person who ran in was named Mao Yuchun.
He is also a teaching teacher at City University of Hong Kong.
He is also one of Lin Yuandong’s few good friends.
Mao Yuchun held a newspaper in his hand and said mysteriously.
"Old Lin, you want to treat me to dinner this time. I'm not asking too much. Let's go eat claypot rice."
Lin Yuandong immediately began to complain.
"Old Mao, you know my situation. My trouser pockets are cleaner than my face. Where do I get the money to treat you to dinner?"
Mao Yuchun handed over the newspaper in his hand.
"Isn't this coming soon... What do you think this is?"
Lin Yuandong subconsciously took over the newspaper.
My eyes glanced up.
Say the name of this newspaper.
"China Hong Kong News..."
He frowned, feeling that the name seemed familiar.
It seems that I have seen it somewhere.
But where exactly is it?
Lin Yuandong lowered his head and started thinking.
Mao Yuchun was a little anxious now.
"Lin Yuandong, why did you forget all the newspapers you contributed to?"
"That's right!"
Lin Yuandong slapped the palm with a fist.
After being reminded by Mao Yuchun, he suddenly remembered that he had submitted articles to the office of China Hong Kong Newspaper.
Just a few days ago, when Typhoon Signal No. 8 passed through.
After coming back, I told this experience to Mao Yuchun.
It's just that these days have passed without any news from the newspaper. I have forgotten it. I didn't expect Mao Yuchun to still remember it.
In fact, speaking of it, Lin Yuandong is not to blame for this matter. It is really the China-Hong Kong Newspaper that is somewhat unreliable.
I have never heard this name before.
Therefore, I subconsciously feel that China Hong Kong News is just a pheasant newspaper.
It belongs to the kind of third-rate newspaper that exists today but will go bankrupt tomorrow.
He flipped through the China Hong Kong Newspaper and found the serialization page of his novel on one page.
To be honest, he was still a little excited.
This is the first time his work has been published in a newspaper.
However, Lin Yuandong was still a little confused.
asked in confusion.
"Old Mao, you just said it was explosive, what's going on?"
Mao Yuchun chuckled.
"You don't know, right? In our Gangcheng District, the sales volume of Huagang Newspaper is the first in the whole district. Now it is sold out outside. I asked my friends to help me grab this newspaper."
"Your article is published in such a high-traffic newspaper. Think about it, can the royalties be reduced?"
This is really the truth.
But Lin Yuandong was still shocked.
It always feels a little unreal.
"But the last time I went to submit an article, I felt that the newspaper was about to close down. What on earth is going on?"
Mao Yuchun turned to one of the pages of the newspaper, pointed at it and said:
"It's because of this serial novel."
Lin Yuandong looked over.
"Journey to Piaomiao...what does this have to do with high newspaper sales?"
Mao Yuchun hated that iron could not become steel.
"Do you know who wrote Piaomiao Journey?"
Lin Yuandong shook his head.
Mao Yuchun looked at Lin Yuandong like an idiot, couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead and said.
"It's Cao Weidong, the author of Zhu Xian, and The Misty Journey is his new work."
"The China Hong Kong Newspaper is a newspaper founded by Mr. Cao. In order to increase the sales of the China Hong Kong Newspaper, Mr. Cao specially created Piaomiao Journey and published it in the China Hong Kong Newspaper."
"These are written in the remarks in the last volume of "Zhu Xian". Didn't you miss it?"
Lin Yuandong scratched his head and said somewhat sarcastically.
"I couldn't bear to read Zhu Xian in one sitting, so I haven't watched it yet."
Mao Yuchun sighed, patted Lin Yuandong's shoulder, and said: "Anyway, you are crazy, you must treat me to dinner later."
Before Lin Yuandong could speak, the phone in the office suddenly rang. Lin Yuandong answered the phone, and the voice of Lao Wang from the school mailroom came from the phone to help transfer the call.
"Is it Lin Yuandong?"
Lin Yuandong said confusedly.
"Yes, who are you?"
"Oh, this is the China-Hong Kong Newspaper Office, and you have submitted articles before."
The staff on the other side of the phone said.
"We have published your manuscript, and now we are notifying you to come to us to collect the manuscript fee. Also, we are a daily magazine, so please give us the manuscript of your subsequent works as soon as possible..."
Lin Yuandong asked with concern.
"I will write the manuscript as soon as possible, but I just want to ask, how much fee do I have this time?"
The staff member smiled and said a number on the phone.
Lin Yuandong: "......"
Lin Yuandong's brain buzzed, and he was shocked by this number that far exceeded his expectations.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuandong waved his hand.
"Lao Mao, let's go to dinner tonight, I'll treat you!"
"Clay rice?"
"What about claypot rice? Let's go to the seafood buffet!"
Lin Yuandong said domineeringly.
.......
Ding Pinghou came to Cao Weidong's office.
His mouth has not been closed since he came in.
"Xiao Cao, the China-Hong Kong Newspaper is really on the rise this time, ranking first in the Hong Kong city in terms of newspaper output!"
"It's really thanks to the Piaomiao Journey you wrote. Many readers buy the China-Hong Kong Newspaper because they want to read the Piaomiao Journey."
Cao Weidong nodded.
He only did two things to save the China-Hong Kong Newspaper, which was on the verge of bankruptcy.
First, in the last volume of Zhu Xian's single volume, he announced that he was about to serialize Piao Miao Journey, and also included an introduction to the work of Piaomiao Journey, as well as a short excerpt of the text of Piaomiao Journey.
Second, the Piaomiao trip was officially published in the Hong Kong newspaper in China and updated daily in the form of a daily publication.
With the strong support from Cao Weidong's fans, China-Hong Kong Newspaper has completely completed a magnificent turnaround, setting new highs in Hong Kong newspaper sales and becoming one of the most popular newspapers nowadays!
All of this is due to the high quality of Piaomiao Journey itself.
It is also one of the three great legends of early ancient online literature. Journey to the Piaomiao is known as the originator of cultivation novels. This book mainly tells the story of the protagonist Li Qiang who mistakenly enters the Tianting Star, comes into contact with cultivation, and begins his magnificent legendary life.
.
Settings and imaginations that are commonplace in all cultivation novels of later generations.
If "Zhu Xian" is based on the stereotypes of new martial arts, then "Piao Miao Journey" is thorough, introducing readers to another fantasy world of cultivation!
What's more, Cao Weidong is well-read and has extraordinary experience. He has re-written "The Misty Journey" based on his own understanding. Whether it is plot, rhythm or characterization, it must be better than the original work!
Cao Weidong brought out such a powerful weapon, no wonder the people of Hong Kong City went crazy for it.
But he still warned.
"Now is a special period. China-Hong Kong Newspaper can rely on my help, but you must remember to dig out high-quality content and pay attention to editorial guidance."
"Only by walking on two feet can the China-Hong Kong Newspaper be able to go long and steadily."
Ding Pinghou said respectfully.
"I understand this, don't worry."
Cao Weidong nodded, and then asked: "By the way, how did you help me with my house purchase?"
