1928: The Rise of Giants

Weekend, Peking.

Chen Dexin finished making breakfast and shouted towards the inner room, "Xiaojue, Xiaoyan, hurry up and get up to eat!"

"Got it~" The girls' sweet and confused voices came from the bedroom.

Ma Yuzhao, who had just gotten up, came downstairs in a long gown and opened his own newspaper box. In addition to the several newspapers he subscribed to, there were also two pieces of letter paper and a thick magazine.

One letter was from his old friend Qian Xuantong, and the other was written to his daughter Ma Jue.

"A love letter to Xiaojue?" Ma Yuzhao suddenly became nervous.

He is now called "Peking University Father-in-law". Countless boys call him that behind his back, and even some male teachers in the school joke with him using the title of "Father-in-law".

It's because his eldest daughter is so beautiful and outstanding.

Especially recently, Ma Jue assisted the workers of the Palace Museum in transferring cultural relics, and became famous among the progressive student groups. His status as the "father-in-law of Peking University" also rose with the tide, and he is now known as the "son-in-law" everywhere.

Back in the living room, the two daughters finished washing up and sat at the table waiting for dinner. Ma Yuzao handed the letter to Ma Jue: "Xiao Jue, this is your letter."

"Thank you, Dad." Ma Jue took it and opened the letter.

The letter was sent from Shanghai, but she didn't remember having any acquaintances in Shanghai.

Ma Jue unfolded the letter and was shocked to find that it was a forwarded letter. The original address was actually the United States!
"Sister, whose letter is this? Let me see!" Ma Yan came over and asked curiously.

Ma Jue quickly covered the letter and said, "Go, go, read your own letter."

"Hmph~ It must be another love letter written to you by someone, the campus belle of Peking University~" Ma Yan pouted.

Ma Yuzao's ears pricked up, and he quickly coughed a few times, pretending to be casual and asked: "Who wrote the letter? Xiaojue, you are still in school, there are some things that you don't need to be exposed to so early."

"Dad! It's really not a love letter!" Ma Jue's cheeks flushed. It was indeed not a love letter, but to her, this letter made her heart beat faster than a love letter. "It's an invitation letter sent to me by the second young master from the United States."

"An invitation letter from the Second Young Master?!" Ma Yuzao's voice suddenly rose eight octaves. "What invitation is it?"

Ye Luo's name was well-known in Peking and Tianjin. Whether it was his crackdown on foreigners and compradors in Tianjin, his sponsorship of students, or the transfer of cultural relics, all of these were spread and he was worshipped as an idol by students.

Ma Yuzhao had also benefited from Ye’s investment, so when he heard that the letter was from Ye Luo, he felt relieved.

The other party is a family man and will definitely not do anything to his own daughter. Apart from being pretty, what else can make his daughter worthy of the second young master?

Even in terms of appearance, the second young master's concubines were all stunningly beautiful, not inferior to Ma Jue.

"They said that they wanted me to go to the United States to be a journalist." Ma Jue held the letter and read it several times, his heart pounding.

"Being a journalist in the United States? What's going on?" Ma Yuzao became even more confused.

Ma Jue quickly handed him a copy of the "World" newspaper that had been sent to him, which also contained news about recruiting college students.

"No wonder I always hear students at school say that they want to work at Ye Investment recently." Ma Yuzhao suddenly realized, took the newspaper and took a look. Even he was tempted by the salary offered!
As long as you are successfully hired as an overseas reporter by Ye's Newspapers, all food and accommodation expenses will be covered. The monthly salary during the internship period is 100 oceans, and the published articles will be charged separately. After being hired as a regular reporter, the monthly salary is 130 oceans, plus various welfare subsidies of 50 oceans.

There are a total of 30 days of fixed holidays each year, and travel expenses can also be reimbursed.

If a journalist is admitted to a famous university overseas, Yeh's Newspapers can retain your employment status and sponsor your studies.

As a professor at his university, his monthly salary is only a little over 200 dollars, and he often cannot pay his salary. Not to mention the intensity of his work, after a group of teachers left the school, those who stayed behind basically had to take on multiple jobs.

Ma Jue's invitation letter is even more extraordinary.

Ye Luo personally invited her to the United States to work as a reporter for Ye's Newspapers. That means the boss directly recruited people, and the salary was double that of ordinary reporters! Ma Jue always thought that since she confessed her feelings, the second young master didn't want to see her again.

It seemed like the second young master didn't take it to heart at all, and his letters were full of brotherly words and care.

He even said that after Ma Yan graduated, he could consider working together.

"This is a good thing. The domestic situation is so turbulent. It would be a good thing if Xiaojue and Xiaoyan could go to the United States to take shelter." Chen Dexin cared more about the safety of her family. She didn't want anything to happen to her daughters after the war spread to Peking.

Ma Yuzao pondered for a moment, sighed, and said, "My daughter has grown up, let her make her own decision on this matter."

"Thank you, Dad!" Ma Jue said happily.

Ma Yan looked at the envelope with envy and said with a smile: "When I finish college, I want to go to the United States like my sister! Go to Europe!"

"Finish your homework first!" Ma Jue glared at her.

at the same time.

Yeh’s Press Office in Peking.

A young female college student named Yu Peichen came with a newspaper to apply for the job.

She had just been released from a prison in Tianjin City, charged with having an affair with an underground organization.

Fortunately, when Zhang Hanqing left, he listened to Ye Luo's words and did not make things difficult for the patriots in the prison. He released them all in one go.

Otherwise, a young and beautiful female college student like her would be dead in prison.

Yu Peichen had a younger sister named Yu Liqun, who was Guo Moruo's wife. She also came to the office with her sister.

These students are all very happy to join Ye Newspapers as reporters.

Anyway, just don't go to a war zone as a war correspondent, and your life safety will be guaranteed.

Yu Peichen originally thought that she would be rejected by Yeh’s Newspapers because of her “disgraceful” experience, but after hearing about her story, the recruiter actually took the initiative to shake her hand and then took her to a small room.

There was another interview there, and the interviewer was Mingtai who came to Peking with a group of people.

Ever since Ye Luo rescued him from the Secret Service last time, the young master of the Ming family who returned from studying in Hong Kong has become much more sober.

He firmly supported the underground organization.

Ye Luo was also happy to see him going in this direction, so he readily agreed to transfer him to the north to work.

Mingtai stood up and shook hands with Yu Peichen, saying with a smile, "Hello, comrade."

Yeh’s newspaper company’s massive recruitment alarmed all sectors.

The World newspaper caused a sensation across the country as soon as it was released.

The sales volume in Shanghai exceeded 5 copies in just half a month, and over 30 copies were sold nationwide.

This is simply a miracle in the newspaper industry of the Republic of China today.

The newspaper headline used a sentence Ye Luo said: "Open your eyes and see the world!"

He hoped that this way people could understand the world, see through the Japanese invaders’ evil ambitions, and make adequate preparations before World War II. (End of this chapter)
