Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 141: Building momentum for Mingyan Newspaper
Liu Tao walked out of the shop with a rosy face, dressed in decent clothes and with a somewhat elegant temperament, giving people the illusion that he looked more like a scholar than a businessman.

Liu Tao glanced at the gathered people, bowed and said with a smile: "I am Liu Tao, thank you all for coming here to celebrate the opening of the store..."

As soon as Liu Tao opened his mouth, someone with a quick temper said, "Stop talking nonsense. Is Kong Siye in your shop?"

Liu Tao looked over and said gently, "As a distinguished guest, Kong Siye is naturally inside."

"Why don't you let Kong Siye come out and tell us what secrets are hidden in his article?!"

"Makes sense!"

"Yes, yes, yes, let Kong Siye come out and tell us what secrets are hidden in his article and why they need to be explained here."

Seeing that someone had taken the lead, the discussions among the scholars around him became louder and louder.

Su Chen tapped the folding fan in his hand with a playful look on his face, and heard an annoyed voice in his ears, "Oh no, I fell into a trap."

Sun Qiang: "Fell into a trap?"

Xu Qizhuang sighed, "Damn it, Kong Huiyuan is such a mean guy."

Sun Qiang: “???”

what happened?

Are you finding it increasingly difficult to understand?

Xu Qizhuang: "Brother Su, I made a mistake this time."

Su Chen smiled and shook his head. "Victory and defeat are common in the military. You have only taken over the newspaper for half a month, and it is already very good to have achieved the current results."

"I was just too anxious at the time and didn't read the article carefully, which led to them taking advantage of me. I will be more careful next time and won't make the same mistake."

Seeing that Su Chen did not blame him, Xu Qizhuang nodded heavily, "I understand, Brother Su."

Sun Qiang: "No, what are you talking about?"

Xu Qizhuang said coldly: "That person just now must be Liu Tao's agent!"

"Shill?"

"Not bad!"

Xu Qizhuang said in a deep voice, "Do you still remember what those scholars said when we came here just now?"

"Someone has spread the rumor that the secret of Kong Huiyuan's article will be revealed here today!"

"But the person who solved the secret of the article did not show up. Instead, some people started a commotion and asked Kong Huiyuan to come out!"

"This shows that no one has figured out the secret of Kong Huiyuan's article. All of this was a trick Kong Huiyuan set up to help Liu Tao open his business and build momentum for him!"

Sun Qiang suddenly realized, "So that's it!"

"and many more!"

"But if there is no secret hidden in Kong Huiyuan's article, then how will he end this situation?"

"This……"

Xu Qizhuang thought about it and shook his head. "I haven't figured it out yet, but I feel like he should be prepared."

Sun Qiang scratched his head, his eyes passing over Xu Qizhuang, who had a cold face, and Su Chen, who looked calm and composed.

I always feel that Su Chen doesn't seem to be surprised, but instead feels happy to see the prey.

Could it be that Liu Tao is really prepared?
Or is there really some secret hidden in that article?
What secret could there be?

Sun Qiang was thinking deeply, and suddenly his eyes caught sight of the door lintel covered by red silk. He felt like something was about to come out.

“It’s the door!”

Sun Qiang blurted out, "It must be the door frame!"

Xu Qizhuang looked up and nodded repeatedly, "It's very likely."

Sun Qiang looked at Su Chen uncertainly, "Sir, am I right?"

"That's right."

Su Chen smiled and said, "He left a hidden sentence in the article."

Sun Qiang: "Sir, do you know?"

Su Chen nodded.

After Xu Qizhuang left last night, he checked the newspaper of the day. After reading Kong Huiyuan's article, Su Chen understood the meaning. Kong Huiyuan used an article to write the name of the newspaper and the opening date.

"A sentence with a hidden head?"

Xu Qizhuang frowned and thought, then said slowly, "On the eighth day of the seventh month, Mingyan Newspaper will open for business with good luck?!"

Su Chen: "I remember hearing it clearly."

Xu Qizhuang would read every article published in the newspaper.

Xu Qizhuang would naturally pay more attention to the articles written by people like Kong Huiyuan.

But I didn't expect that he actually wrote a hidden sentence.

Xu Qizhuang smiled bitterly and said, "If I had noticed it earlier, I wouldn't have published his article in the newspaper."

Su Chen waved his folding fan, looking nonchalant: "It's okay, just showing off my skills."

At the same time, facing the urging of the crowd, Liu Tao sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, since you all want to see Kong Siye so much, then I will invite Kong Siye..."

"Kong Siye is out."

Before Liu Tao finished speaking, cheers came from the crowd.

Look back.

Kong Huiyuan came out with a smile on her face, and the two looked at each other, and everything was said without words.

Kong Huiyuan: "You are all polite."

"Kong Siye, what secrets did you hide in the article?"

"That's right, why can't I see it no matter how hard I look?"

"Did you spread the rumor on purpose?"

Facing everyone's suspicion and accusations, Kong Huiyuan smiled and said, "I did leave a little secret in the article."

"Do you still have yesterday's newspaper?"

"I have!"

One of them raised the newspaper in his hand and asked, "Kong Siye, what secret are you talking about?"

Kong Huiyuan: "You may wish to look at the first word of each line in the article."

"July……"

"On the eighth day of the seventh month, Mingyan Newspaper Office will open for business with good luck?"

After hearing these words, everyone suddenly realized.

It turns out that this article is not simply accusing Tianxia Newspaper of influencing public opinion and having an illegitimate foundation, but is telling everyone that Mingyan Newspaper is having a great opening today!

but.

Why is this happening?

"Why doesn't Kong Siye speak out openly?"

If I say it out loud, will it have such an effect?
Kong Huiyuan laughed secretly in his heart, then sighed and said, "The advertising fees of Tianxia Newspaper are too expensive. I really can't afford it."

"Besides, if the people at Tianxia Newspaper knew that I was going to support Mingyan Newspaper, how could they publish my article?"

Everyone was thoughtful.

after all.

This Mingyan Newspaper intends to compete with Tianxia Newspaper.

You can't let your enemies do propaganda for you, can you?

Besides, the person behind this Tianxia newspaper is Su Chen!
Liu Tao winked at Kong Huiyuan, who nodded in understanding and said in a deep voice, "The Tianxia Newspaper Agency has a flawed foundation and is misleading people. I am fully aware of the drawbacks of its existence!"

"After learning that Boss Liu wanted to build a newspaper that truly speaks for the people of the world and gives countless poor people the opportunity to be seen by the public, I realized that Mingyan Newspaper is a newspaper that truly serves the people!"

Liu Tao tore off the red silk, and the four big words "Mingyan Newspaper" came into view.

"Be discerning and speak out for justice! Mingyan Newspaper is willing to work with all like-minded friends to speak out for the people of the world and seek the welfare of the people of the world!"
