The literary era since 1979

"Click."

As soon as the office door was opened, Ma Rongcheng walked out with an unhappy look on his face.

The secretary looked at him and immediately realized that the contract renewal had fallen through, and he didn't intend to get into trouble at this time.

However, things did not go as he wished. Huang Yulang's almost roaring voice soon came from the room, and his voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the entire corridor.

The secretary had no choice but to walk in and close the door quickly.

"Ungrateful! Absolutely ungrateful!"

Huang Yulang paced back and forth in anger, "Who does Ma Rongcheng think he is! If I hadn't cultivated and promoted him, he would have been just a loser who relied on drawing lines for others. How could he have achieved the success of "Chinese Hero"! This ungrateful loser!"

The secretary trembled and said nothing.

"Damn it, he looked so confident just now, he must have already found a new employer, otherwise he wouldn't dare to talk to me like that!"

Huang Yulang's eyes widened with anger: "Go check! Go check quickly! Which publishing houses have contacted him privately these days!"

The secretary said weakly, "Boss Huang, besides changing jobs, is it possible that Ma Rongcheng wants to start his own business?"

"Go it alone?"

Huang Yulang forced himself to calm down. "Given this bastard's personality, and the fact that he just kept telling me, 'I've made enough money, and I want to make more contributions to Hong Kong comics like Akira Toriyama,' the possibility of him working independently is indeed higher than switching to another company!"

"If this is the case, we must stop him even more. We must not let a tiger become a threat to us!"

There was some worry in the secretary's tone.

Huang Yulang stood still immediately. The reason why Yulang International Corporation had such a high premium in market value before the global stock market crash was because it had a dominant position in the Hong Kong comics market and was known as "the first listed Hong Kong comics stock"!

However, now, whether Ma Rongcheng jumps to a competitor or sets up his own business and works independently, it will severely damage the market value of Yulang International, causing the already shaky stock price to fall again and again, and it is hard to guarantee that it will not become a major threat in the future and break the monopoly.

"Mr. Huang, we must persuade him to renew his contract no matter what..."

The secretary reminded again and again.

"Since the soft approach doesn't work, let's use the hard approach."

There was a gleam of ferocity in Huang Yulang's eyes.

"Boss Huang, you wouldn't... wouldn't you want to..."

The secretary shuddered.

"What are you thinking? Do you think I'm a natural born killer?"

Huang Yulang curled his lips and said, "First find a few people to scare him."

The secretary asked, "Isn't this too radical? What if it backfires and makes him even more unwilling to renew his contract?"

"Then why don't you give me some advice on how to make this ungrateful loser change his mind!"

Huang Yulang cursed viciously.

The secretary shrank his head and dared not say anything more. It was the first time he saw Huang Yulang, who was always kind to others, doing such a thing.

Little did people know that since Huang Yulang secretly forged false accounts in order to prevent his company from being acquired, his courage has grown.

Precisely because he had already embarked on a path of no return and was temporarily at a loss for what to do, Wong Yuk-long turned his attention to the young and dangerous gangsters of Hung Hing.

………………

Three days later, Joint Publishing Company in Hong Kong.

After having dinner with Ma Rongcheng, Fang Yan started to think about the manuscript of "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky" whenever he had free time these days.

The TV series version is definitely not acceptable, as it has been so modified that it has deviated from the plot of the game. So much so that the game fans couldn't stand it and posted on Weibo, Tieba and other platforms saying that the show was a disaster. Some people even renamed the show "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Thunder of Heaven", which shows how unpopular this terrible show is.

In comparison, although the first and third TV series of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" also made major changes to the game plot, the story after the magical changes is still within the scope of reasonable adaptation, with clear logic, complete plot, and a climax at the end, which can be said to be more beneficial than harmful.

It’s nothing more than game fans criticizing the character settings in the TV series, such as "Lin Yueru" and "Li Xiaoyao", which are different from those in the game!
However, "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky" is different. Although the changes to Yuwen Tuo are quite good, the treatment of other protagonists, especially Chen Jingchou and Xiaoxue, is too ugly. Of course, this is also because Yuwen Tuo is played by Brother Hu, and as the number one star of Tangren, he naturally has to change the play.

Therefore, Fangyan completely abandoned the TV series version, and instead enriched the plot and added flesh and blood based on the game story.

However, when I write "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" later, I will try to find a balance between the TV series version and the game version.

It is only limited to the first and third parts. The most classic fourth part naturally has to refer completely to the game "Chinese Paladin 4".

"Swish, swish, swish."

Just as I was writing furiously, I heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the house.

Then, Pan Yaoming pushed the door open, holding a newspaper in his hand, and shouted, "Yanzi, something happened."

"what happened?"

Fangyan put down the pen in his hand.

"See for yourself."

Pan Yaoming handed over the newspaper.

Fangyan looked closely and saw a piece of news on the paper that reported the "Ma Rongcheng robbery" in a not-too-small space.

"I just called Assistant Cui, but no one answered."

Pan Yaoming said: "Then I asked someone to find out and found out that Ma Rongcheng was seriously injured this time and seemed to have been sent to the hospital."

Fangyan frowned: "Did you ask which hospital it is?"

Pan Yaoming said in a serious tone: "I have asked the people in the newspaper office to inquire about it. There should be news soon."

Fang Yan said, "As soon as there is definite news, Lao Pan, please inform me immediately, and then we can go to the hospital to visit together."

"it is good!"

Pan Yaoming agreed readily.

After more than two hours, I finally found out which hospital Ma Rongcheng was staying in.

The two did not set off for the hospital immediately to avoid running into Huang Yulang and others by chance, which would expose their plan to poach people.

It was not until the next morning that Pan Yaoming and Fang Yan arrived at the private ward where Ma Rongcheng was.

"Mr. Fang! Deputy Editor-in-Chief Pan!"

When they saw the face of the person clearly, Ma Rongcheng and Cui Xingzhong were both surprised.

After a brief greeting, Fang Yu asked with concern in his tone, "Why were you suddenly attacked out of nowhere?"

"That's what I'm wondering about, too."

Ma Rongcheng said that he was about to get off work when a tattooed man suddenly emerged from the darkness, holding a machete and blocked his way and attacked him.

Thanks to Cui Xingzhong's help, the two fought back hard. Although they were injured and bleeding, they finally drove the gangsters away.

"Then I quickly hailed a taxi and sent him to the hospital for treatment."

Cui Xingzhong said that Ma Rongcheng had eight stitches after being admitted to the hospital and the hospital asked him to stay in the hospital for observation.

Fang Yan and Pan Yaoming looked at each other and felt that this matter was quite strange. He had only met them for a few days, and he was attacked by such a coincidence?
(PS: Ma Rongcheng’s attack was a real incident, and he was threatened more than once during the contract signing period) (End of this chapter)
