Writing in the Republic of China (11)

Liu Qingru’s house has been a bit busy recently.

At first, he was fired for no apparent reason. When he returned home and told the news to his family, the whole family was dumbfounded.

Although Liu Qingru didn't earn a lot of money before, he was still an editor. Compared to ordinary people, the money he earned in a month was enough to cover their expenses for a year.

In the past, the Liu family lived a very comfortable life, and the two old people took good care of themselves. Liu Qingru hired someone to take care of them.

The two elders lacked everything else. Not only did they have someone to take care of them, but their daughter-in-law accompanied them when Liu Qingru was not at home. They lived a happy life. The only regret was that their son and daughter-in-law had not yet had a child.

During this period, Liu Qingru was very proud of Mr. Shenze and Mr. Dongliu in the newspaper office, and received a lot more money than before. The whole family was happy. However, before he was happy for a long time, he was fired inexplicably.

Now the whole family was angry.

His mother said: "How can it be like this? When we first sent people to other places, it was not you who went there. Later, your newspaper was able to get up, didn't it also rely on your hard work to communicate with the authors? Now their newspaper is up, using Throw it away if it doesn’t bother you anymore, bah!”

His father said: "It seems that this is a waste of time. I have been reading the novels written by Mr. Shenze in the past two days. I thought that businessmen were not all like that. It seems that your boss is such an insidious businessman who only seeks profit."

They all feel sorry for their son. After all, when the newspaper business was not doing well, their son never left him. Instead, he brought in two heavyweight writers to support the newspaper. As a result, the newspaper is now doing well. Over there Fired their son?

The bridges across the river are not demolished so quickly, right?

Liu Qingru's wife did not speak. Instead, she looked at her husband with a decadent face full of worry and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay. You have this ability. How can you be different? They don't want you. It's because their newspaper office has no vision." "

Hearing her words, Liu Qingru smiled bitterly and shook his head.

If he could have said this with such confidence when he was young, but now he is no longer young. Not to mention his age, he still has a family to support. Once the family's funds run out, he should worry about whether he will be wronged. Family members.

What's more, he used to be the editor-in-chief, and all major newspapers have editors-in-chief. He has been doing it for so long, how could he just jump in and grab the position as soon as he left? But if he was just an ordinary employee, he was used to being the editor-in-chief before, and then he went Liu Qingru didn't know if she could please her boss and obey the last arrangement.

Taking a step back, his rich experience and age may be a benefit in modern times, but in this period, the editors are afraid that he will seize their throne, and will definitely do everything possible to prevent him from joining.

The best outcome would be for a new newspaper to come out and recruit people, but nowadays all the new newspapers have people behind them and they have great backgrounds. If they don’t have the person they want, why bother to come to him?

The more Liu Qingru thought about it, the more frustrated he became. His wife noticed it and said softly: "Don't think too much. Isn't the teacher's business picking up? If the job search doesn't go well, the teacher will definitely help."

Although these words were comforting, Liu Qingru felt even more uncomfortable.

He must be obligated to help the teacher. After all, the teacher has taught him. If it hadn't been for the teacher's teaching, how could he be where he is today.

But asking the teacher to help him, Liu Qingru really couldn't open his mouth. He was already quite old and had a family, but he still wanted the teacher to help him. This was really, really...

Seeing that he was unwilling, the wife hurriedly stopped talking and just coaxed her husband to go to dinner first. She also told him that the family had a lot of savings due to his previous efforts, so there was no need to be in a hurry when it came to finding a job, just take your time.

The whole family cared about Liu Qingru's feelings and sat in the courtyard eating. Liu Qingru didn't know how to taste the food. He sighed and put down his chopsticks. Just as he was about to say that he didn't want to eat, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

The wife asked strangely: "It's this time, who will come?"

She stood up and opened the door.

The door opened, and Ji Changze stood outside with a bottle of wine. When he saw her, his face immediately smiled: "This is my sister-in-law, right? I am Changze, my senior brother's junior brother."

The two of them had never met each other, but Liu Qingru’s wife heard what her husband said many times and knew that this junior brother was the eldest son of his teacher. He was very filial and capable. When he heard Ji Changze’s self-reported identity, his face quickly changed. A smile appeared.

They are currently worrying about their husband's work. At this time, the teacher's son, who never visits the house, suddenly comes to the house. It is easy for the wife to think that he has heard about this incident.

Whether they are here to comfort or help, the husband will definitely be happy.

"You are Nagaze, come in, come in, Qingru, come and see who is here."

Liu Qingru looked up and saw Ji Changze. He was a little surprised and stood up quickly: "Changze, why did you come here in such a cold weather?"

Ji Changze first greeted Liu's father and Liu's mother and then said:

"I heard about senior brother's dismissal, and I have something to discuss with him."

Ji Changze brought up the wine in his hand and showed it to him, his brows full of relief: "How about we brothers and sisters drink two cups?"

The Liu family members all heard that he was here to solve Liu Qingru's work, and they suddenly looked happy and wanted to stand up to make room for them.

Ji Changze quickly stopped: "Uncle and aunt, there is no need to be so polite. I am not an outsider. I will go to the house to drink with my senior brother."

After entering the house, he and Liu Qingru sat cross-legged on the kang. Liu Qingru's wife urgently cooked a few dishes, all of which were the best she could offer. The two of them drank with the dishes.

Liu Qingru could still hold on in front of his family, but now that he had drunk two cups and was in front of his junior brother who knew everything, he couldn't help but feel depressed and started drinking.

Ji Changze saw that he was going to drink himself to death, so he quickly reached out to stop him; "Brother, don't be depressed. Think about it, many people know that you were fired. If you don't recover from this, I don't know how many people are waiting to see you laugh."

Everyone has a few enemies, even Ji's father, who has always been kind to others, has one, and Liu Qingru naturally has one too. After hearing this, he smiled bitterly; "I want to get back on my feet, but I have nowhere to go now."

Even if the teacher helps, he certainly can't force him into the newspaper office. The teacher may help him find a high-paying job, but he prefers working in the newspaper office. He likes this job.

Ji Changze saw that Liu Qingru was not only depressed but also sad, so he also drank a cup and said, "I heard that you were fired, so I wrote a letter to the newspaper and told them that if you leave, I will leave too. Now I am no longer in Rouan Daily."

Since Liu Qingru was fired, he wandered aimlessly on the street for several laps, and then went home. He really didn't know about this and was shocked when he heard it.

"Don't be angry. Although Rouan Daily was a little ruthless to me, it has always been very good to you. Many authors can't even dream of getting that share. The big boss really values ​​you."

Seeing that he was worried about himself, Ji Changze smiled and said, "Yes, the newspaper is good to me, but the big boss also needs to make money, so he will always take some of my money."

Liu Qingru sighed, feeling helpless that his junior brother was so childish: "It's all like this. If he doesn't take your money, why should he sell novels for you and promote you? Even if it's not Rouan, other newspapers are also like this. Like this. "

He felt bad for his junior brother for a while, and then thought that the teacher had come back, and the pain was slightly relieved: "It's not bad that the teacher has reopened now. It doesn't matter if you don't make money in Rouan. Junior brother, I know you are feeling sorry for me, but it's really not the case. Who would have a hard time with money?"

Ji Changze patted his senior brother on the shoulder and nodded seriously: "Yes, senior brother, who would have a hard time with money? Wouldn't it be nice for us to open a newspaper and divide the money ourselves? Why do we have to divide the money with an outsider, who is an outsider who will demolish the bridge and fire you after crossing the river?"

Liu Qingru was stunned.

Yes, why don't they open a newspaper themselves.

Money, what Ji Changze made before is enough, not to mention that there is Ji's father now.

Future sales, with Ji Changze here, why do they have to worry about sales, this is a golden signboard.

And being a boss, the money you get will definitely be much more than before.

Liu Qingru was excited for a while and suddenly calmed down.

"But although we have money, we don't have much background. If you don't have a background, you can't run a newspaper these days."

This background must at least be linked to the political or military circles, otherwise people can find an excuse to close your newspaper.

For example, there was an incident in the past. A newspaper published a big boss's gossip, and its sales increased greatly. Another newspaper followed suit, but it was closed down miserably. The newspaper owner was not convinced and asked around, only to find out that the newspaper that published the gossip was backed by another super big boss. Even if the big boss was angry, he didn't dare to do anything to the big boss. When he saw that his newspaper also wrote the same thing and had no background, wouldn't his anger be directed at his family?

A very alarming fact.

Ji Changze didn't think this was difficult, and just said, "Brother, don't worry. I'm sure I can do this. Just wait. Our backers will be here soon."

Liu Qingru: "?"

He was still confused when his wife suddenly came in and said, "Qingru, someone is looking for you. He said he is the big boss of Rouan Daily and he came to invite you back."

She had a happy look on her face, and it was obvious that she was very happy.

Liu Qingru turned to look at Ji Changze. Ji Changze raised his lips at him, and his face was full of expectations: "Sister-in-law, please ask him to come in."

The big boss came in soon. When he saw a strange face, he was stunned. Ji Changze took the initiative to stand up and stretched out his hand to him:

"Hello, I am Ji Changze, the son of my senior brother and teacher. He calls me his junior brother. At the same time, Mr. Shen Ze and Mr. Dong Liu are also me."

The big boss felt like he was struck by lightning, and his head was buzzing.

Junior brother...

Is the relationship so close?

No wonder his big golden leg wanted to run away.

That old bastard actually let him personally force Mr. Shen Ze's senior brother away.

Old thief Ji, I'm not done with you!!!
