"Editor-in-Chief Liu, I've long admired your name."
"Comrade Xiaolin, welcome."
Lin Yifeng was slightly taken aback.
Comrade?
He and Guo Fengsheng exchanged a glance, then smiled and walked into the inner room surrounded by the crowd.
Liu Shengxing, who was at the back of the group, frowned as he watched Lin Yifeng's back.
The other man beside them, who looked slightly more mature, also asked in a low voice.
"Squad Leader Liu, do you think this is a sure thing?"
"It's hard to say."
Liu Shengxing shook his head with a serious expression.
Strange!
That's so weird!
This was completely different from the big boss Liu Shengxing had imagined.
He had originally thought that the person who acquired the newspaper would be a more mature and stable individual, but he never expected that the person would be so young.
Even the man next to him couldn't help but complain angrily.
"It's probably those bastards from the Chongqing Daily who sent them again."
"I knew Wallace's foreign stuff wouldn't work."
"I never expected them to actually side with that group!"
Liu Shengxing simply shook his head again.
"Don't jump to conclusions."
"Let's take another look."
I'll test the waters in a bit.
On the other side, Lin Yifeng began to look them up and down as soon as he entered their office.
The place where the Mountain City Life Daily works can no longer be described as rudimentary.
The room contained several old desks, the edges of which had long been cracked due to the passage of time. Some of the desks were even teetering on the verge of collapse, held together by ropes to maintain their balance.
Even the glass that provided shelter from the wind and rain had long been broken, and the only thing that could be done was to use newspapers and paste to patch up the holes in the windows.
Moreover, judging from the faded appearance of the newspaper, it was probably only recently that it was re-updated.
There was only one light in the entire room, located in the very center. The bulb was covered with a thick layer of dust, indicating that it hadn't been used for a long time.
Many people from the newspapers around looked at Lin Yifeng with a troubled expression as he looked around.
The atmosphere inside the room became awkward.
The awkward situation inside the room was broken only when Liu Shengxing entered.
"Sit down, sit down."
"Xiao Wang, go and get some tea for Comrade Xiao Lin."
"Comrade Xiaolin, you flatter me. Our environment is a bit poor."
Liu Shengxing warmly pulled Lin Yifeng to sit in one of the few good chairs.
As soon as Lin Yifeng sat down, a large enamel mug with the words "Serve the People" printed on it was handed to him, filled with steaming hot tea.
The people around him also stood on the perimeter, staring intently at Lin Yifeng.
Lin Yifeng placed the teacup beside him, and there wasn't a single ink stain on it.
"I'll get straight to the point."
"Everyone knows why I'm here."
"150,000! I will buy your newspaper."
The room fell into a deathly silence.
Liu Shengxing stared wide-eyed at Lin Yifeng in disbelief.
"How many?!"
"Fifteen thousand?"
