Songfo Township.
A middle-aged greasy poet.
A middle-aged intellectual.
Editor-in-chief of magazine.
The brave man who punched and kicked Xie Jinghu.
In the past, Editor-in-Chief Song only had these labels, but now he is involved in a major event of the moment. His actions can even determine whether the large-scale theme park project will be won by Zhao Dong. A normal person would definitely feel pressured and scared when faced with such a thing.
Editor-in-Chief Song is not a normal person. Sometimes he has the integrity of a scholar, and sometimes he has the shrewdness of a businessman.
Holding the "black material" about Zhao Dong sent by the group representative, Song Foxiang wanted to roar to the sky three times.
Damn Zhao Gou!
Last time, it should have been Song Foxiang's turn to show off at the donation ceremony, but he resisted the temptation of 1 million yuan and, following the advice of his nephew Song Shao, donated it all to the Writers Association. He did it for fame and to pursue spiritual satisfaction.
Zhao Dong appeared at the donation ceremony with reporters, snatching away the highlight moment belonging to Song Foxiang.
That's not enough.
From then until now, Zhao Dong has been using "Zhao Family Letters" written by Song Foxiang to gain fame and reputation everywhere, and has quickly emerged in the cultural circle of Chengdu. Every time Song Foxiang hears Zhao Dong's name from others, he feels disgusted.
Song Foxiang wanted to slap himself countless times.
Why did you write for Zhao Dong?
Why should I bother to earn that shitty ghostwriting fee!
No matter how many times I wash my hands, the smell of dog shit lingers.
——Damn it, earning Zhao Dong’s money feels as bad as eating shit.
Many times, Song Foxiang wanted to stand up and expose Zhao Dong, but hiring someone to write an autobiography is actually a semi-public unspoken rule in the circle. Celebrities love to publish autobiographies, but not everyone has writing talent. Some autobiographies are dictated by celebrities and then compiled into books.
Song Foxiang wanted to stand up and say that he was the one who wrote "Zhao Family Letters", which would have little impact on Zhao Dong, as Zhao Dong did not make a living by writing books.
But if this thick layer of "black material" in his hands were leaked out, Zhao Dong's entire personality would collapse.
A noble scholar-businessman?
Pooh!
It's clearly a family of gigolos!
Just live off others, but you have to flatter yourself and try to squeeze into the circle of cultural people. You are really ruining the atmosphere of Chengdu's local cultural circle!
Song Foxiang was very eager to rid Chengdu's cultural circle of pests. If he had gotten hold of this piece of black material by chance, he would have leaked it without a second thought. But someone came to him with the material and asked him to take the lead... then he couldn't just use him for nothing.
"This is a difficult matter."
Song Foxiang's face was stern and serious. "I heard that Mr. Zhao is now at a critical stage in his bidding. If I expose his past, he'll lose the bid and vent his anger on me. I'm just a small editor with no money or power. I've been dependent on my daughter for so many years. How can I resist Mr. Zhao's revenge? No, no, I can't intervene in this matter."
Song Foxiang pushed the documents on the table in front of the group representative in a suit.
The group representative was not angry either. This was not the first time he and Song Foxiang had met. In order to persuade Song Foxiang, he had already figured out Song Foxiang's weaknesses.
Song Foxiang is a ruthless man who doesn't give in to any persuasion. His only weakness is his daughter Song Chan.
He sent his daughter to a provincial key school in Chengdu, arranged for her to participate in the New Concept Writing Competition, and even accepted payment to write for Zhao Dong, all for the purpose of giving his daughter Song Chan a bright future.
The ghostwriter pulled another information bag from the briefcase.
"Mr. Song, time is running out. I won't beat around the bush with you. We will naturally take your worries into consideration."
The person who came to see Song Foxiang was a representative of a large group company. He would not use money to bribe Song Foxiang, but since it involved such a large investment project, it would be okay for him to contribute some resources to help Song Foxiang.
Giving gifts that the recipient wants is a high-quality gift. It has nothing to do with the value of the gift, but more about whether you put thought into it.
This gift touched Song Foxiang's heart. Song Foxiang only took a few glances at the contents of the information bag and his serious expression instantly turned into a beaming smile.
"Are you sure this will work?"
"From what we know, your daughter is very talented. As long as you follow the instructions, the chance of success is 99%."
99% of the time, this is just modesty. Unless Song Chan refuses to cooperate, there is basically no possibility of failure.
Song Foxiang was as happy as a rat that had successfully stolen oil. He accepted the information bag given by the representative and picked up the negative information about Zhao Dong. He showed an expression of fearlessness: "Forget it, forget it. Cultural scum like Zhao Gou can only be dealt with by me at the cost of my own life. The Buddha said that if I don't go to hell, who will? I am the messenger of justice who will punish Zhao Gou!"
represent:"……"
——Just now you were calling me Mr. Zhao, but now you are just Mr. Zhao Gou?
Although Song Foxiang shared the same stance as the representative, the representative was still offended by the greasy tone of Editor-in-Chief Song.
Zhao Dong was also unlucky. He could have offended anyone else, but he had to offend the vengeful Song Foxiang.
The representative concealed his thoughts, looked at his watch, and reminded Song Foxiang: "Mr. Song, do you need me to take you to the venue?"
Song Foxiang waved his hand, "No, no, I still have to prepare. It's okay if you guys delay for a while!"
That must be no problem.
…
Cocktail parties are always very long.
Listen to the speech by the representative of the organizer, and then officially start. Eating and drinking are minor matters. The main thing is whether the goal can be achieved.
Zhao Dong squeezed from a marginal figure to the center of society, holding his wine glass with great pride.
Jiang Youjia, who had followed his biological father Jiang Xuekun in to gain some experience, felt sick when he saw Zhao Dong.
He is clearly uneducated, but he insists on pretending to be cultured. It's so disgusting.
Zhao Dong also saw Jiang Youjia, and he raised his glass to greet Jiang Youjia.
——Look, even without the Jiang family, he still managed to get into this circle.
Jiang Youjia was so angry that his nose was tightening.
"This villain!"
Jiang Youjia's expression was distorted, and he looked even more like a villain than Zhao Dong: "If he really succeeds, it will be really disgusting."
Although Jiang Youjia was prejudiced against Wen Ying at first, Zhao Dong's repeated behavior of bullying Wen Ying and making things difficult for her also made Jiang Youjia feel ashamed.
Wen Ying has now proved herself with her strength. Her background cannot limit her development. She is qualified to be friends with Xie Qian. Although Wen Ying's novel is published by Zou Weijun, Jiang Youjia comes from a family of scholars and knows a lot about the publishing industry. He knows that the quality of the book is not good. Even if he mobilizes the power of the entire Rongcheng Publishing Group to promote the book, it will be useless. If best-selling books are so easy to create, then why sign best-selling authors? Whoever you promote will become famous.
"Teenage Idol" has become a recent phenomenal best-selling novel. This is thanks to Zou Weijun and the publishing house, but the most important thing is that Wen Ying's novel has been recognized by readers!
Jiang Xuekun glanced at his own son and did not correct Jiang Youjia's idea.
Of course, Zhao Dong couldn't be allowed to win the bid, but the reason was not what Jiang Youjia thought, that Zhao Dong had bad character.
Those are secondary and Jiang Xuekun doesn't care at all.
What’s important is that Zhao Dong’s success means the success of others. Jiang Xuekun likes Xie Qian very much, and he doesn’t want Xie Qian and his mother to be forced to give in step by step by some people!
