Five Hundred and Eighty-Three, the Weight of a Sentence

The staff of the commercial department greeted them and walked towards the building: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Ying Yuzheng, and I am the director of the commercial department of Hope Media. Please come upstairs to chat."

After Ren Xiaosu walked into the building, he looked at the interior of Hope Media. The staff came and went, and there was no particularly strict security, just like a very ordinary office building.

You know, it is said that Hope Media has made a lot of enemies over the years and has offended the consortium countless times. Shouldn't such a company be more cautious?

On the 7th floor, as soon as Ren Xiaosu stepped out of the elevator, he heard a loud voice that seemed to be reprimanding others.

I saw an old man on crutches saying to a young man: "Journalists must respect the facts. Don't you know what's wrong with the manuscript you wrote yesterday? Have you investigated and collected evidence? Just rely on your own imagination." The method of attracting readers’ attention is absolutely unacceptable! Every newspaper published here must be true for future generations. When they pick up a copy of the current Hope Media newspaper decades later, they will immediately know what is happening today. Truth, that's what we're going to do!"

The young reporter said: "But other newspapers also..."

"Others are others, Hope Media is Hope Media!" The old man leaning on crutches said, "Don't forget, what is the original intention of entering this industry? Is it fame and fortune? And what we want the media to do is to respect the facts and record history!"

The young reporter stopped talking.

Ying Yuzheng smiled at Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue, "I'm sorry to laugh at you, our editor-in-chief is not very good-tempered, this way please."

He brought Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue into the conference room, and Ren Xiaosu saw large red characters pasted on the walls of the conference room: Seek truth from facts.

Ren Xiaosu didn't think there was anything wrong with the editor-in-chief getting angry with the reporter, but he trusted Hope Media even more.

Ying Yuzheng sat across the conference table and asked cordially, "What kind of advertisement do you two want to launch?"

"It's very simple." Ren Xiaosu smiled and took out a note: "Just publish it at the bottom of the fifth page, occupying a quarter of the page."

Ying Yuzheng took the note. There were only two lines on the note. The first line: "Don't let the sorrow of the times become your sorrow."

Second line: "61."

This is what Ren Xiaosu came up with. Since he hopes that the media's newspapers will spread all over the Central Plains, if Lao Wang is in the Central Plains,

Will definitely buy such an influential newspaper to pay attention to current affairs.

Wang Fugui seemed to be smiling all the time, but he was careful and reliable in his work. When Ren Xiaosu was still in the market town, he would often see him reading the official newspaper of the Qing family when he went to Lao Wang's grocery store, saying: It is to understand what major events have happened recently, and not to be out of touch with the times.

That's why Ren Xiaosu wanted to advertise in Hope Media's newspaper. Whether Yan Liuyuan or Wang Fugui saw this sentence, they would immediately think of him.

He said this to Yan Liuyuan in front of Old Wang, and Sister Xiaoyu would even occasionally mention it in front of other people, so it was a very iconic remark.

And the 61 below means that he will go to the No. 61 barrier to continue to settle soon. If Lao Wang and the others see this, they will come to the No. 61 barrier to find him.

This hint was not too subtle, but only Old Wang and Yan Liuyuan knew what it meant.

Ying Yuzheng looked at the note and asked in confusion, "You just published this advertisement?"

Generally, the people who want the media to publish advertisements are companies doing business promotion, such as selling clothes and cosmetics and other profiteering industries, but the advertisement that Ren Xiaosu wants to publish does not seem to have any utilitarian purpose.

Could it be a spy who passed on the password? Ying Yuzheng murmured in his heart that Hope Media often encounters this matter. For example, the earliest contact method of the knight was to use Hope Media newspaper to pass the code, and you can find the desired information by looking for words in the newspaper according to the code book.

It's just that no spy would occupy the fifth edition in such a high-profile manner. The first four editions were free of advertisements, and the price of the fifth edition was extremely expensive.

Ying Yuzheng glanced at Ren Xiaosu and said, "I don't know what is the purpose of the advertisement you two placed here?"

Ren Xiaosu smiled: "Just think of it as conveying positive energy."

"Then what does 61 mean?" Ying Yuzheng asked.

"Oh, 61 is Children's Day, and I want to wish everyone a happy Children's Day in advance," Ren Xiaosu explained with a calm expression.

Ying Yuzheng wanted to say on the spot that I believe in you, it's still far away from the fucking Children's Day, and he said patiently, "Sir, it's only November now."

"Well, our advertisement will run until June 1st next year," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "How much will it cost?"

Ying Yuzheng was stunned, and Zhou Yingxue next to her felt distressed. The fifth edition took up a quarter of the advertising space. How much would it cost to put it on for more than half a year!

Ying Yuzheng made some calculations, and then said to Ren Xiaosu: "Sorry, this business is a bit big, I can't make the decision, just wait a moment."

The advertising amount alone was more than two million, and the problem was that he didn't know the intentions of Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue.

Not long after Ying Yuzheng went out, Ren Xiaosu heard the sound of crutches hitting the ground outside the door again, and then the editor-in-chief pushed the door in. The other party's gray hair was combed meticulously, and he was wearing a black Chinese tunic suit. Get up in good spirits.

The editor-in-chief came to the conference table and picked up the note on the table and asked, "Is this the advertisement that the two guests want to publish?"

Ying Yuzheng next to him said, "Yes."

As a result, the editor-in-chief glanced at the note and was stunned. He couldn't help but mutter: "Don't let the sorrow of the times become your sorrow..."

He looked up at Ren Xiaosu: "Who said that?"

"I said so," Ren Xiaosu said.

"Why did you say that?" the editor-in-chief continued to ask.

"Because I want to warn my brother, don't follow the trend in this era," Ren Xiaosu said seriously, "Now that I'm publishing this advertisement, I just feel that I should tell more people about it."

The editor-in-chief laughed, because he didn't trust Xiaosu's reason for nonsense, it was just that he fell in love with this sentence in an instant.

The editor-in-chief looked at the note for a long time and suddenly said: "For this advertisement, you can pay 20% of the cost. 400,000 is the advertising fee for the word 61. I will waive the rest for you. I don't ask." What is your purpose for publishing this advertisement, I will publish it for you until June 1 next year."

Ying Yuzheng next to him was stunned, and he saved 1.6 million in one fell swoop.

Ren Xiaosu was also puzzled: "What are you trying to do?"

The editor-in-chief shook the note on his hand and said, "This sentence is worth so much money."

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu's heart was touched. It turns out that in this era, there are still people who value a sentence so valuable.
