Writing in the Republic of China (12)
The big boss wanted to peel off Mr. Ji from the bottom of his heart. There was a moment of gnashing of teeth on his face. Fortunately, he soon remembered that the person standing in front of him was not Mr. Ji but Dajin Legs. The deep affection on his face was restored. Be kind to your relatives.
He held Ji Changze's hand cherishedly, and would have wanted to let go if he hadn't still had his sense. However, in order to prevent others from thinking that he was crazy, he could only let go with reluctance in the end.
When he looked at Liu Qingru again, the expression on his face was already very close, and he shouted very affectionately: "Qingru, I came here specifically to apologize to you."
After saying that, he took a careful look at Ji Changze next to him and added: "The other thing is that I want to invite you back again. It was my fault for what happened before. I apologize to you for it. I hope you don't argue with me. I'm here." I promise you, as long as you go back, your treatment will definitely be better than before, never worse. "
You can come back quickly.
Then get your junior brother back too.
Although the big boss who came here before wanted to increase the compensation for Liu Qingru, he never thought of asking him to go back in such a humble manner. After all, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. No matter how important Liu Qingru was, he was not worthy of him. Go say something more. But things are different now!
Mr. Shenze is Liu Qingru’s younger brother.
Although the big boss is usually not said to be very domineering, he is rarely so approachable to his subordinates. Liu Qingru was a little flattered, and opened his mouth to subconsciously agree. Fortunately, before he could agree, he remembered that his junior brother had just been with him. He said that they wanted to open a newspaper of their own, and then he tried hard to suppress the joy on his face.
Ji Changze replied for him from the side: "Thank you very much, Boss Zhang, but I'm afraid my senior brother will not be able to return to your newspaper."
The big boss suddenly became anxious.
If Liu Qingru said it himself, he wasn't so anxious, but Mr. Shenze said that he would certainly be anxious: "I did something wrong before, but you don't know the inside story, and I was also threatened."
The big boss is not stupid. He did not say that he did not want to offend Mr. Ji so he gave up Liu Qingru as editor-in-chief. Instead, he changed his rhetoric.
In his rhetoric, he is a boss who tries hard to protect the newspaper and Liu Qingru, but there are some villains who just don't like them. Of course, this villain will definitely be Mr. Ji.
This evil guy used his power to force him to choose between life and death in the newspaper office and Liu Qingru. The big boss was extremely hesitant and heartbroken. In the end, it was very embarrassing and painful that he had to choose Liu Qingru to leave.
And now he came here to get Liu Qingru back because the situation had changed. He received the news that Mr. Ji was going to be in trouble. This old man could no longer threaten the newspaper office. No, the big boss came over happily. .
After listening to the big boss's heartfelt words, Ji Changze and Liu Qingru both fell silent.
Ji Changze sighed deeply in his heart, otherwise he would have opened a newspaper. Although he never wrote articles, his ability to write stories was not weak. He was obviously a person who after weighing the pros and cons, found that it was not worth offending Liu Qingru. Sir, after driving away the people, I found out that Mr. Shenze was still standing behind Mr. Ji, so I forced him to talk about it in many twists and turns.
Of course, Ji Changze is very kind.
Although he didn't believe a word he said, it didn't stop him from showing a moved look on his face. He even took the initiative to hold the big boss's hand and sighed: "I didn't expect Boss Zhang to be so kind to my senior brother. It’s rare to find a boss like you these days, and you really impressed me today.”
The big boss didn't feel ashamed at all and shook hands with him: "No prizes, no prizes. In fact, Qingru and I have always admired each other. Although he works for me, in my heart, he has always been my friend. It is precisely because I regarded Qingru as one of my own, and as soon as this incident was over, I hurriedly tried to save Qingru."
Liu Qingru: "..."
Friend...?
He recalled how his boss once inhumanely squeezed him to go on business trips, and he had to work overtime even late at night. When he came back from the business trip, he was so exhausted that he was forced to write about all the past events he saw along the way before he even had a chance to drink water. He realized something profoundly. It’s called no businessman, no treachery.
Seeing such a thick-skinned person, one really cannot help but say a word of admiration.
Ji Changze: "Boss Zhang is indeed loyal, but senior brother really can't go back. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If senior brother goes back, what will the uncle do if he attacks the newspaper office again?"
The big boss choked.
Where to start? Although Mr. Ji looks a bit powerful, if he really does it, he will have a big boss standing behind him.
He was disdainful of Mr. Ji in his heart, but because he couldn't tell the truth because of what he just said, he could only smile awkwardly: "I received the news that something happened to him. I can't do anything wrong anymore. You can rest assured. If I'll take care of anything."
Although that guy is fine now, it doesn't matter. Wait until he walks out of the Liu family's door and goes to his father to cry a few words and complain that he was bullied and threatened (whether it's true or not, anyway, he gave the blame to that bad old man). (must continue), dad always loves him and will definitely not ignore him.
By then, isn't there something going on with Mr. Ji?
Facing the big boss's guarantee, Ji Changze looked unbelieving. He held the big boss's hand and said gratefully: "I know that you and my senior brother have a friendship, and you will not hesitate to offend your uncle for the sake of your senior brother. But my senior brother has never been a good person. We understand that you are willing to cause trouble to others, but you cannot go to the newspaper office."
The big boss opened his mouth to continue to persuade him to stay, but Ji Changze held his hand in excitement and stopped him: "We can't harm you!!!"
do not! ! !
He made up those words before.
He's just an old man with a good appearance. How could he be touched?
Seeing the unwavering look on Ji Changze's face in front of him, the big boss felt regretful and annoyed at the same time.
If I had known that Mr. Shenze would refuse to go to the newspaper office because of the nonsense he compiled, he must not have compiled it like this just now, he must have changed it in another way.
The big boss naturally didn't know that no matter what reason he made up, Ji Changze would still block him back. He regretted it deeply in his heart. After thinking about it, he felt that his face was not as important as his golden legs.
never mind! It's shameless to have legs, tell the truth!
Ji Changze saw the change in the big boss's expression and immediately said, "Don't feel bad. My senior brother has praised you many times before, saying that you are honest and friendly to others. Although you are a businessman, you never lie to others. This way You are an outstanding person, and you are the admirer of many people. After seeing it today, it turns out that you are better than seeing it. You are even better than what my senior brother told me."
Liu Qingru, who once complained to Ji Changze that the big boss only cares about money: "..."
He tried hard to maintain his expression and looked at the big boss who looked stiff for some reason, and nodded hard: "Yes."
The stiff-looking big boss didn't feel the joy of being praised at all: "..."
Play ball.
Now when people praise him for his integrity, he turns around and says, "I'm sorry I just lied to you." So, should Mr. Shenze, who still seems to admire him very much, turn around and leave?
The big boss is currently riding a tiger with a hard time getting off, neither advancing nor retreating. The more this happens, the more he hates Mr. Ji in his heart.
If this guy hadn't suddenly come out and asked him to get rid of Liu Qingru, his editor-in-chief and the big guy would still be staying at his newspaper.
Bah, wait for me, wait until I finish solving this matter, I can't kill you!
He was cursing in his heart, but his face was still stiff with embarrassment and he didn't know what to say.
I want to persuade him to stay, but I can't even come up with a reason. I want to clarify, but I'm afraid that Ji Changze will fall out directly.
He could only say tactfully: "But if Qingru doesn't repay the newspaper, where will he find a higher position in the future? Ah, and Mr. Shenze, you are no longer at the newspaper. If you want to publish an article again, you will have to find a new newspaper. ?"
Yes, that's it. It seemed like it was just a casual question. Mr. Shenze couldn't let Mr. Shenze think that he came here just for money.
Ji Changze didn't hide anything and said it directly: "My senior brother and I plan to open a newspaper together, so we won't be afraid of injuring others."
Open a newspaper agency...
Isn't that just the golden doll running out to open his own shop?
How is this possible? This is not possible!
The big boss was so heartbroken that his face twisted. Ji Changze pretended not to see it and continued to sigh: "My father had an accident before and my uncle refused to help. I thought it was nothing. After all, although my father and uncle are brothers, they have separated their families. Uncle doesn't It's normal to be willing to cause trouble, but now that you said that your uncle used the newspaper to threaten you and forced you to fire your senior brother, it can be seen that it is because of the previous rumors in the city that you have some grudges. I know that Boss Zhang is a good person, but it is precisely because of this that we I can’t even bring you any trouble.”
big boss:"……"
He just wanted to open his mouth and yell.
The person you are afraid of is not even a plate of food in front of my father! ! !
I'm not afraid of him! ! !
Feel free to come! Come and be happy! Come and make money! !
But he can't.
He is an "honest" person, how could he tell Mr. Shenze that he was lying to them before.
He could only hold back the breath in his heart and coughed dryly: "But I want to help you. Although Qingru has experience, he has never been in charge of the business. He opened a newspaper office so rashly. I'm afraid it will end badly. Now the newspaper office in the city The competition is not small. If you two newcomers enter, you will probably be swallowed up. "
As expected, Ji Changze showed some hesitation on his face.
He looked at the big boss "hesitantly" and asked with a bit of uncertainty: "Is it really so scary?"
The big boss nodded heavily without any guilt: "It's so scary."
Yes, yes, that’s right, the outside world is too dangerous, you should just throw yourself into my arms and make money and be happy with me, hahahahaha.
The corners of his mouth were already rising a little.
Ji Changze: "In that case, I remember that my father's classmate also opened a newspaper in the city. Why don't I go find him to protect our newspaper, and when I make money, I will share a penny of the profit as a thank you."
The big boss' expression froze.
How did this happen?
Why, after talking about it, didn't talk about the person back to him, but pushed the person to someone else's newspaper office.
He wanted to make up for it, but Ji Changze's face was full of "I see" and he happily made a thank you gift to him: "Thank you, Boss Zhang, for the tip. I will go find that uncle right now."
"No...wait..."
Seeing that Ji Changze was really about to go out, the big boss became anxious and hurriedly called to Ji Changze: "I can do this kind of thing too!"
Ji Changze, who had his back to him, smiled cunningly, and when he turned around, he looked innocent again: "What do you mean?"
The big boss gritted his teeth and said: "Instead of looking for others, why not look for me? I will help you support the newspaper, and I will invest money in it. How about dividing it according to the proportion?"
Anyway, I can't divide the money in my own newspaper, and it's the same to go to Ji Changze's newspaper.
The money may be a little less, but since the two newspapers are close, it's not uncommon to sell some resources together, right?
At that time, he can make money from Ji Changze and his side, and also make money from his side.
And the most important thing is that now that it is everyone's newspaper, can Ji Changze write novels more frequently? After all, this time he earned fame for his own newspaper. If the newspaper rises, he, as a shareholder, will only have more money and can also drive his previous newspaper.
It was just a word in a hurry, but after saying it, the thoughts in my mind became smoother and smoother. In the end, I have completely thought about the way forward.
This is a win-win situation.
After taking a firm stand, the boss's previous firm attitude of persuading both of them to stay in his newspaper immediately changed to a firm attitude of wanting to invest in your newspaper.
Although he wanted to agree in one go, Ji Changze still refused for a while to put on a good show.
"How can I be so embarrassed? You have helped my senior brother so much."
"Uncle is targeting you. If he hates you more because of your helping us, it will be my fault with my senior brother."
"There is really no need to invest so much money. We have enough money."
Finally, under the strong request of the boss, Ji Changze reluctantly agreed to give him 15% of the profits of his own newspaper, and the two newspapers could try to cooperate.
In exchange, the boss will help their new newspaper to stand up and not be bullied, share his various channels, and invest a large sum of money.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Ji Changze smiled more sincerely.
The boss also got the friendship of Mr. Shen Ze and the supply of newspapers in the future, and his smile was quite warm.
The two of them had a great time talking. After they had quickly agreed on a series of matters at lightning speed, they smiled and shook hands with each other. Behind them was Liu Qingru, who was completely confused and couldn't keep up with the pace.
Liu Qingru really couldn't keep up with the pace.
He didn't understand why the big boss had invested in their newspaper to support them and pull resources.
These three things should have been the most difficult to do, but Changze just said a few words, and the big boss actually decided on this matter in such a hurry that if he didn't decide it quickly, it would be snatched away by others.
The big boss left, and only the two brothers were left in the room again.
Ji Changze sat back and took a sip of wine, and raised his eyebrows at Liu Qingru, who was still in a state of confusion: "Brother, look, don't you have a backer now?"
Liu Qingru: "..."
He sat down in a daze with a blank face, and paused for a long time before he came back to his senses and asked Ji Changze: "Changze, when did you become so powerful?"
Didn't the teacher always say that Changze was still too simple and was not educated to be good at scheming?
Ji Changze ate a mouthful of food without changing his expression: "Brother, what are you talking about? Haven't I always been like this? My father taught me this way since I was a child. Didn't he teach you?"
Liu Qingru: "..."
He recalled and found that the teacher had really taught him some thick black studies that were not easy to talk about, but he didn't have that nerve. Even if he memorized everything the teacher said, he still couldn't apply it to life.
But hasn't Changze always been a young master who plays around? ?
When did he become like this? ?
Seeing that Ji Changze was drinking happily, and just before he had negotiated a good deal, it was not the time to talk about these things, Liu Qingru could only suppress the confusion in his heart and continue to drink with his junior brother.
He went out to relieve himself after drinking too much. As soon as he arrived in the yard, he saw his wife looking forward to them. When she saw him coming out, she greeted him with a happy face and pulled him to ask how the big boss came just now. When she saw the other party walking away with a brisk pace, she seemed very happy.
Are you still so happy after being tricked by Changze? As expected of a big boss, your mentality is good.
Liu Qingru has a good alcohol tolerance and did not get drunk. In order to reassure his family, he rubbed his face and told his wife what he had decided.
His wife was stunned, but she quickly grasped the key point: "But we can start a newspaper together. Where can we get the money to invest in it?"
Opening a newspaper is not a small amount of money. Even if they are in partnership, the Liu family probably can't get that money.
Liu Qingru smiled and comforted: "Junior brother said that our family doesn't need to pay, as long as I sit firmly in the position, and wait for the newspaper to start making a profit, I will get 20% of the profit, which is equivalent to me not spending a penny and getting money."
He naturally didn't agree at first, but his junior brother insisted, and said that he had no intention of management. If there was no Liu Qingru, he would still have to spend a high price to hire someone to manage it, and the person he hired could not make him feel at ease like Liu Qingru, his senior brother. If he was embarrassed to take this money, he could just treat it as a salary.
The wife really reacted strongly. She covered her mouth in surprise and whispered, "This, this is taking advantage of others. How can I be so embarrassed?"
Liu Qingru didn't know why, maybe he was drunk, but he suddenly felt a surge of infinite pride in his heart, and even started to raise his chest and head: "Junior brother told me that when the teacher was in trouble, I went to help him regardless of reward. They, these teachers and junior brothers, they all remember it clearly in their hearts. He also said that since I could help their family for nothing at the beginning, now that I have no job, they can naturally help me. "
He should be proud. Although he didn't want any reward for helping his teacher and his family, when the teacher and his junior brothers affirmed and acknowledged his efforts and rewarded him, it was like a certificate of grand prize, which made Liu Qingru Very proud.
"Look, what I said at the beginning, I said that teachers and junior brothers are not the kind of people who don't remember their gratitude. Although the world is very chaotic today, as long as you find the right person and help the right person, they will definitely be the same. I will not forget it without conscience, and I will definitely keep it in my heart.”
Seeing that Liu Qingru could not stand still and was still so happy, his wife couldn't help but smile and support him: "Yes, this is good news for good people. Go to the latrine quickly and I will get you a basin of water to wash your face." Wake up and wake up. Junior brother is still young, so it’s too late to let him go back alone. When you wake up from the alcohol, send him home and thank your teacher and wife properly. "
"I understand, so don't be too busy. The family will not have to endure hardships in the future. I will make you and your parents happy."
In a drunken state, Liu Qingru rarely said a few sweet words, staggered to the latrine to put some water in, and when he came back, he washed his face and felt much soberer.
When he returned to the house, he supported Ji Changze and was about to take him home.
In fact, Ji Changze, who was just tipsy, refused a few times but still refused. He greeted the Liu family who couldn't restrain their joy and gratitude after hearing the news, and then left with Liu Qingru.
When they arrived at Ji's house, it was Ji's father who opened the door. Seeing that the two of them were drunk, his face became serious: "Why are you so drunk? Qingru, you are the same. Nagasawa is young, so you don't know how to keep an eye on him."
Ji Changze was a little dumbfounded: "Dad, I'm not drunk. It's my senior brother who is drunk. He insists on sending me back because it's unsafe on the road. I can't shirk him no matter what."
"Okay, I'm going to go inside and wash my face first. Don't let the smell of alcohol bother Sister Huan anymore."
He left, and only Ji's father and Liu Qingru were left in the yard.
Liu Qingru actually woke up, but she was still a little dizzy. When she saw the teacher, she couldn't help but sigh: "Teacher, Nagasawa is so smart. How did you teach him? I always thought, hiccup! I always I thought he was just playing around, but I didn’t expect him to be so smart. He is a good candidate for business!”
Ji's father suspected that his student's brain was damaged by alcohol.
Is Nagasawa a good candidate for business?
Such a simple child, hehe, that's not what he said in a joke.
Listening to Liu Qingru's continued praise, he regarded these words as drunken words. Liu Qingru continued to say: "You were always saying that you thought Nagasawa was unscrupulous and that he was too easy to coax, but I saw that he didn't. It’s good to deceive others, but you are still being deceived. Teacher, your requirements for Nagasawa are too high.”
Ji's father agreed: "No, I'm not satisfied with how he is now. He still has experience."
Liu Qingru sighed: "Teacher, you can't set such high standards. Nagasawa is already very good."
"Yes, yes, that's fine."
Ji's father took Liu Qingru out and said, "I think you are quite drunk, so I'd better take you back."
Liu Qingru sighed harder.
Hey, I really sympathize with Nagasawa, can't he achieve the standards in the teacher's mind even if he does this?
Father Ji also sighed.
Hey, he is so smart all his life, but how can he teach his son and students to be stupid?
It doesn't matter that I am stupid, but I still think that another person is stupid and smart, which is really a headache.
