Global Update [Quick Transmigration]

The new residence provided by Jing Xinglan was a two-story small villa with the style of the Republic of China, and there was a small garden and fountain on the outside. When Qiao Jing walked into the gate, he happened to see Qiao Jing cheering all the way from the handrail on the second floor. slide down.

He glanced at the boy and Yanzhi on the second floor, and after making sure they were all fine, he turned around and asked Jing Xinglan, "Where is my room?"

Now that the place is big, he and Jing Xinglan naturally don't have to be crowded in the same room.

Jing Xinglan said regretfully: "The room at the far end on the left on the second floor. The bedding has been packed, and you can change to another room if you are not satisfied."

Qiao Jing is not a picky person, he can live safely in the dilapidated bungalows before, not to mention this kind of high-end small villas in the Republic of China that are almost the same as modern themed hotels.

He nodded, first went to the second floor to wash up, then changed into the home clothes that Jing Xinglan had prepared for him, sat by the bed and began to think about what to do next.

The worst result would be that the mastermind behind the scenes would continue to send people to surround him, and openly criticize and slander him by name in the newspapers. In this way, in order to avoid the limelight, he would have to temporarily suspend or even drop out of school.

Qiao Jing couldn't help thinking, if he was really an ordinary student living in this era, this trick alone would be enough to ruin his future and life.

Even though Jing Xinglan had already said that he would personally pick him up and drop him off from school, Qiao Jing was still very worried that if there were too many people coming, he might be injured along with him.

What happened today really scared him.

Until now, the image of the boss falling in front of him is still flashing repeatedly in Qiao Jing's mind.

The young man pursed his pale lips tightly, and clenched the quilt slightly with his five fingers placed beside him. After a while, he forced his body to relax slowly, and stopped thinking about these messy things.

... Now that things are up to now, they can only see the tricks.

But what surprised Qiao Jing was that after a few days, there really wasn't any strange people around him.

And he noticed very keenly that even some gangsters who started wandering around in the city in the evening have basically disappeared. The security atmosphere can be said to be unprecedentedly good, and even some young girls dare to go together. Will set foot in the chaotic area to buy stuff too.

"This is the performance of the public security department," Jing Xinglan told him, with a serious expression on his face when he spoke, "Isn't this quarter coming to an end soon? Even prisons in the Republic of China have KPIs."

Qiao Jing: "..."

What kind of KPI, how many people are locked in the prison, or is it longer than who?

He always felt that Jing Xinglan was fooling himself, but he couldn't find any reason to doubt it, so he reluctantly accepted this explanation.

But Qiao Jing also knew that the reason why Jing Xinglan spoke so vaguely was because he didn't want to worry about these troublesome things, and he was really tired of such intrigues, and he just wanted to write his own essay with peace of mind—on this point, He was indeed very grateful to Jing Xinglan.

Have to say, it's really nice to have someone to help him with this.

Therefore, a few nights later, when Jing Xinglan casually told him that the two behind-the-scenes masterminds of the attack had been arrested, because they had committed too many and serious crimes, and it was estimated that they would be shot in the near future. , Qiao Jing only paused for a while, and then simply nodded to show that he understood.

During this period of time, Qiao Jing also figured it out. Jing Xinglan had done so much for him just to tell him that he only needed to write well, and he didn't have to worry about anything else.Moreover, "All Beings Crossing" has been finished for such a long time. Although he still wrote a short story during this period, it is indeed time to think about the new book.

Jing Xinglan: No, you don't know!

But Qiao Jing thought he had sensed the truth, and began to seriously think about the content of the new article, and whether he still chose to let the "Dongfang Beijing News" exclusively serialize it this time.

In fact, judging from the letters he received recently, his vest in this world has been dropped in a small area.

Although Jing Xinglan was quick to arrest people, Yuan Sanmasi was not a gentleman, so of course he would not keep Qiao Jing's identity a secret.In addition, the arrest of them was so violent that even most of the north was alarmed. After realizing that the second young master of the Jing family had returned to the country, they were also surprised. Sudden attack on Yuan San Ma Si Da——

Some people with connections will naturally inquire about relevant inside information.

Since then, Qiao Jing began to receive letters from other newspapers.

Most of them are here to poach the wall. The editor-in-chiefs and presidents of the major newspapers personally wrote letters, asking Yan Heqing to come to their newspapers to serialize novels at a high price, and promised a lot of hype benefits.Although I don't know if it's true or not, Yan Zhi and Qiao Jing were both so excited that they were going to die anyway. The two who were dissatisfied with the "Dongfang Beijing News" immediately urged Qiao Jing to kick his old club quickly, and the good birds choose a tree to live in!

After Xu Weixin found out about this incident, he was so angry that he beat up his nephew who had done nothing but failed.No, as soon as the weekend arrived, he came to visit with gifts on the pretext of congratulating on the housewarming, and doubled Qiao Jing's thousand-character manuscript fee.

Qiao Jing didn't think too much about it.Because for him, if it wasn't like the previous Xingchen.com, where he was so ugly that he didn't even want to have a conscience, he would generally not change his old club.

And after changing jobs, I have to get to know the new editor and negotiate a new contract. What a hassle.

He was just thinking that although "Dongfang Beijing News" is one of the largest newspapers in the north, its influence is only limited to the north after all. In the south, people in many areas have never heard of this newspaper.

Now there are two major new culture dissemination centers in China, one is in the capital and the other is in Shanghai. If he can cooperate with another newspaper in the south at the same time, maybe the number of readers will be more than doubled by then. The more reputation points, the better.

He told Xu Weixin about this idea, although he was very reluctant, but after all, there was such a big mistake before, and the newspaper market in the southern region was indeed something that the "Dongfang Beijing News" could not win within a few years.

Therefore, after thinking twice, Xu Weixin gritted his teeth and agreed to Qiao Jing's request to revise the contract.

But before leaving, he also recommended to Qiao Jing a famous newspaper in the south, "Aimin Daily".

Xu Weixin: "The boss of this newspaper is my old friend. He is warm and generous. He doesn't like to be petty. Mr. Qiao can consider submitting a manuscript to their family. Although the novel column of "Aimin Daily" already has a main writer, but They sell almost twice as much as we do, and they pay their authors a lot of bonuses.”

Qiao Jing sent him to the door, but he didn't say anything dead: "Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Xu, I will consider it."

He had also heard of the reputation of "Aimin Daily", Xu Weixin was right, even in the whole country, this is one of the top newspapers.But Qiao Jing is not someone who only listens to the opinions of the family. After that, he plans to buy a few southern newspapers and read them before making his own judgment.

After that, Qiao Jing received many letters, including the one written by the boss of "Ai Min Bao". It is estimated that Xu Weixin got through with him in advance. In the letter, he expressed his appreciation for Qiao Jing eloquently, and A warm welcome to Yan Heqing for serializing novels in this newspaper.As for the remuneration, he also offered a slightly lower price than Xu Weixin's, but still very high - among other things, he is indeed very good at being a man.

The price of the main writer is naturally different from the manuscript fee of ordinary authors.

What's more, Qiao Jing is not an exclusive serialization.

Qiao Jing also understood this, so after comprehensive consideration, he finally agreed to the conditions given by "Aimin Daily", and said that he was already preparing a new article, and he would send the manuscript to the newspaper office as soon as he finished writing it, but I hope that Boss Gao will discuss the publication time with Editor-in-Chief Xu in advance, preferably on the same day.

In this regard, the other party naturally agreed.

After signing the contract, everything is ready now, and the only thing left is Dongfeng.Coincidentally, the editor in charge of Qiao Jing of "Aimin Daily" was also surnamed Xu. The two Xu editors sat in the newspaper office every day, waiting for Qiao Jing to send Dongfeng, ah no, the manuscript of a new book.

Qiao Jing: "..."

He looked at the two letters in front of him, one was from his new editor, and the lines were full of enthusiastic anticipation for Teacher Yan Heqing's masterpiece; the other one was written by Xu Xiaoming, or an old acquaintance who knew the basics, His resentment for urging the manuscript almost overflowed the envelope—"Mr. Qiao, you haven't opened for several months! Save the child!"

Qiao Jing glanced at the stack of blank manuscript papers beside her, and silently lit a candle for Xu Xiaoming in her heart.

Thinking about it with his toes, he knew that his life at the newspaper office must have been difficult recently.

As for writing the manuscript...

Qiao Jing said: I have no inspiration, I can't save it, so I leave.

He put the two letters aside, and opened another letter from the "So-and-so Association" to Yan Heqing.

After reading it briefly, Qiao Jing sighed.

This is the first time he has received an invitation letter for this kind of gathering of literati. He has heard it before. These groups, large and small, basically represent different factions. Created by the New Culture School.

They often make debates and speeches in newspapers, and even develop into street speeches. They are invited by many social celebrities to attend some banquets, publicize their ideas at the meetings, and make contacts by the way.

This invitation letter is from one of the top New Culture Associations in China, and it can also be said to be a test for Yan Heqing——

Because these days, no matter what kind of literati they are, they must have a position.

They wanted to know whether Yan Heqing, who had recently gained quite a reputation in society, was their "comrade-in-arms" of the New Culture faction.

Qiao Jing had thought at the time of the first crossing that he must support the new culture, but this did not mean that he would join a certain faction. If he was asked to participate in some speeches and debates, it would be better to end him with a knife.

Therefore, he hesitated again and again, and decided to write a reply letter to decline the other party's invitation.

"Huh," but at this moment, Jing Xinglan's voice came from behind him, "This association actually wrote you a letter?"

Qiao Jing turned her head to look at his frowning expression, and asked doubtfully, "You know them?"

Jing Xinglan nodded: "I know." He paused, as if thinking about how to tell Qiao Jing, and finally expressed his dislike directly, "This association is deeply influenced by Western culture. It can be said that Although there are quite a few capable and knowledgeable people, their ideas are too radical...they are the ones who asked the government in newspapers to abolish Chinese characters and replace them with Latin.”

Qiao Jing was silent for a few seconds, looked down at the letter he had just written at the beginning, put down his pen, crumpled the two letters together, and threw them into the trash can next to him.

Jing Xinglan let out a chuckle.

"Are you so decisive?" There was a faint smile in his voice, "Your principal Wen is also the honorary vice president of this association."

Qiao Jing said confidently: "I am a student of Zuo Xiangting."

Jing Xinglan coughed because of his choking, and laughed softly uncontrollably

To be honest, he is really cute by Qiao Jing very often.

For this, he is also very distressed——

They are all adults in their twenties, how can they be so cute?

And because of Yan Heqing's delay in replying, the New Culture Association seemed to understand that they were not in the same way, and did not continue to contact Qiao Jing after that.

However, the internal members are dissatisfied. Some think that Yan Heqing is too arrogant and self-proclaimed. Anyone with eyes can see that Yan Heqing definitely supports the new cultural reform, but he still doesn't like them. He didn't even reply to a letter, could it be that he felt that he was superior to others with a little fame?

Others think that although Yan Heqing writes vernacular novels, maybe his thoughts are actually more conservative. The evidence is his positive description of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in "All Beings Crossing"—and for For those of them who advocate the abolition of Confucianism and Taoism, this is simply old and stubborn!

Originally, most of their evaluations of Yan Heqing were admirable, thinking that he must be a talented young man, and many people had publicly recommended his novels at gatherings, and even crowned Yan Heqing as a "pioneer" name.

No one expected that in just a few days, the evaluation of him within the association would completely change.

Whenever someone mentions Yan Heqing, he will definitely look angrily, thinking that he is a "traitor of the new culture", "an antique with half a foot still in the old century", at least fifty years old, and some radicals even directly It is not worth mentioning that "Untimely Life" is actually the autobiography of Yan Heqing.

In fact, it is from Qiao Jing a century later: "..."

However, if he really knew that this group of literati from a hundred years ago actually called him "Old Antique", then Qiao Jing seemed to have nothing else to say except a series of ellipses in his heart.

Fortunately, the gust of wind has not yet reached his ears.

As the honorary vice president of the association and the principal of Jingluo University, even though Wen Chunqiu is very busy on weekdays and doesn't have time to attend those large and small activities and discussions, some entertainment is naturally inevitable.

Like the activities organized by the association, he occasionally goes to show his face once or twice, and by the way communicates with other people about the latest news in the domestic literary world.

This time he was attending a banquet. Apart from Wen Chunqiu and some high-level executives from the New Culture Association, there were also many political celebrities, wealthy businessmen and courtesans present. It can be said that it was a very high-grade banquet. .

Under the bright western crystal lights, some men are wearing suits, some are wearing long gowns, and most of the women are wearing cheongsams and long skirts, embellished with pearl necklaces or emerald earrings, and the precious jewelry shines brightly under the light .They gathered together in twos and threes, chatted with each other with smiles and smiles, and raised their wine glasses to salute each other from time to time.

Among them, there is a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and dressed as an upper class elite standing in the center of the hall, telling people fiercely his idea of ​​saving the country: "If you want to save China today, you must abandon it." All old things, abandon the traditional dross of thousands of years, and fully westernize! Otherwise, the day of national subjugation will come!"

Wen Chunqiu sighed with a smile, neither affirming nor denying the young man's speech.

But in fact, he also has a little bit of approval in his heart, but at this age, he is no longer like a young man who would emphasize his thoughts in public.

He casually picked up a peanut on the plate at hand and threw it into his mouth. He looked at the western clocks, blue and white porcelain and the huge Renaissance oil painting on the wall. Collisions and blends in the lobby form a picture that is both contradictory and harmonious.Just like this era of great change.

"Principal Wen, don't come here unharmed."

Just when he was fascinated, a smiling voice not far away interrupted his thoughts.

Wen Chunqiu came back to his senses, looked at the person coming, he immediately brushed the dust off his gown, and said seriously: "Long time no see, how is Staff Officer Wang?"

Staff Officer Wang put his hands behind his back and walked to him with a smile: "That's it, neither good nor bad. But I see that you look pretty good, Principal Wen. Is there anything good going on recently?"

Hearing that there was something in his words, Wen Chunqiu couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked doubtfully, "Why did Staff Officer Wang say that?"

Staff Officer Wang showed a disapproving expression of "you pretended to be me", looked at Wen Chunqiu and shook his head: "Principal Wen, you are not being kind, it is obvious that you teach well, and the world is full of peaches and plums, how can you So humble?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, patted Wen Chunqiu's shoulder with a blank face, and said meaningfully: "Sure enough, I strongly recommended you to be the president of Jingluo University in front of the president. Look, it's only been a few years ? Jingluo University is full of talents!"

Wen Chunqiu was confused, but managed to extract what he wanted to express from Staff Officer Wang's words, as if he was praising him for teaching students?

He couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't play charades with me. You know, I'm just an educator. Although I have some connections in the political world, I dare not get involved too deeply. Just tell me, is it someone? Did the student commit a crime?"

"How can it be called a crime?" Staff Officer Wang fussed, "No, Principal Wen, you really don't know about it?"

Wen Chunqiu paused word by word: "I really don't know."

"Cough," Staff Officer Wang coughed suddenly, leaned into Wen Chunqiu's ear and asked in a low voice, "Yan Heqing, do you know this person?"

Probably because he didn't expect to hear this name from Staff Officer Wang, Principal Wen frowned slightly and nodded.

Before he wrote a letter to the newspaper, he thought that even if Yan Heqing refused the invitation, he would at least write a reply letter explaining his situation.

However, several months passed, and Wen Chunqiu didn't even see a stamp.

No matter how good his temper was, he felt that this young man was too arrogant and impolite.Wen Chunqiu is not relying on the old to sell the old, but no matter what, there should be the minimum respect for the seniors in literature, right?

Therefore, he just asked in a light tone: "You mentioned Yan Heqing, could it be that he wants to ask you to bring me a message and plans to come to Jingluo University to teach?"

Staff Officer Wang: "Ah? But isn't he a student of your school?"

The two stood in the corner of the hall, staring at each other.

After a few seconds, Principal Wen finally came to his senses.His eyes widened in disbelief, and he asked repeatedly: "What? What did you just say? Yan Heqing is... a student at Jingluo University?"

"That's right," Staff Officer Wang said, "I'm not the only one who knows about this. If you don't believe me, President Wen, you can ask someone to ask in the government. Although not many people know about it, there are still a few of them. I heard it seems to be a young man named Joe?"

He picked up the champagne and asked curiously, "Principal Wen, do you have any impression?"

As soon as he heard that Yan Heqing's real name was Qiao, Wen Chunqiu immediately thought of the shy and silent black-haired young man he saw in Zuo Xiangting's office.

But he quickly returned to his normal expression, and shook his head towards Staff Officer Wang with a wry smile: "I really don't know. Sigh, these students are all bold now, dare to provoke anything, dare to write about anything, I Being a principal is also a headache."

After a pause, he suddenly bowed to Staff Officer Wang seriously: "Consultant Wang, I will verify Yan Heqing's real identity later, but if he is really an old student, please..."

"Hey, Principal Wen, what are you doing?" Staff Officer Wang waved his hands and said, "All right, all right, I know you care about students dearly, don't worry, as long as Yan Heqing doesn't cause any major trouble, I will help anyone within my ability. Help."

Wen Chunqiu could hear what he meant, but he also knew that it was not easy for Staff Officer Wang to give such a guarantee in his position.

After the banquet, he personally sent Staff Officer Wang to the car, finally looked up at the sky, and finally decided not to take the rickshaw, and walked back directly.

Most importantly, he had to think carefully about what to do with Yan Heqing.

Wen Chunqiu was walking on the way back to school. This unattractive little old man in a gray gown had his hands behind his back, thinking about it all the way, the expression on his face was unpredictable, but finally he settled on a proud expression mixed with helplessness and arrogance. superior.

Wow, he thought, what a Yan Heqing!

No wonder the letter has been sent out for so long and there is no response. It turned out to be because of this!

Wen Chunqiu thought about it in a different position. If he received such a letter, he would definitely be so entangled in his intestines—should he reply or not?

And now he was basically sure that the young man Zuo Xiangting had his eyes on was probably Yan Heqing himself.

In fact, Qiao Jing's strange reaction when he saw the "Dongfang Beijing News" in the office at that time could not have been more obvious.It's just that Wen Chunqiu never thought about it, nor did he expect Yan Heqing to be so young, even a student.

Most importantly, he believed in Xuanhua's vision.

——A young man who can be favored by him, among other things, must have the best talent among his peers!

The more Wen Chunqiu thought about it, the happier he was for his old friend, and the little knot in his heart was completely untied.

But this doesn't mean that Wen Chunqiu doesn't plan to trouble Qiao Jing anymore.

As we all know, teasing children is the hobby of all the elderly in the world, and Principal Wen is no exception.

Along the way, he has already come up with a wonderful idea. At that time, he doesn't even need to take the initiative to ask, this classmate Qiao will definitely recruit him obediently and truthfully.

Waiting for tomorrow, Wen Chunqiu thought with a smile, he should go to the client to try it out.
