Those in higher positions have better opportunities for promotion, while those at the bottom have fewer opportunities. This principle has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Just as Yang Yun was finishing his tasks for the day in a daze, a colleague outside suddenly called out to him.

"Yang Yun, someone is looking for you. They say it's your classmate named Wei Xing."

Yang Yun wasn't doing very well at the newspaper, so his colleagues weren't very enthusiastic about him. They would pass on a message to him and then leave, as if they couldn't even exchange half a word with him.

Upon hearing her colleague's words, Yang Yun subconsciously looked up, revealing a hint of surprise. She clearly hadn't expected her old classmate to come looking for her.

After hesitating for a moment, he carefully tidied his clothes and then walked outside the newspaper office.

Outside the door, he saw his old classmate Wei Xing, who was also dressed impeccably and had a very handsome young man standing next to him.

"How did you come?"

Yang Yun looked at Wei Xing with some surprise and spoke.

To be honest, he and Wei Xing had a pretty good relationship in college. The reason he doesn't want to see Wei Xing now, and even deliberately acts a bit cold, is entirely because he's doing so badly, while Wei Xing is now a prominent figure at Nancheng TV Station.

The class difference made him subconsciously want to distance himself from the other person, because he felt that he and the other person were no longer from the same world.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy to see me?"

Wei Xing looked at Yang Yun and teased him.

He then walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and pointed to Lin Fan beside him, saying, "Let me introduce you. This is Professor Lin Fan, an honorary professor at Nancheng University. He is an outstanding person."

"Are you wondering why we've come to see you? Come with me, we'll talk about something personal."

And so, Yang Yun was taken by Wei Xing and Lin Fan to a small restaurant nearby without really understanding what was going on.

Lin Fan ordered a rather lavish spread of dishes, and the meeting began.

"Yang Yun, I know you're not having a good time at the newspaper."

"As a former friend, you might be a little unhappy that I'm saying this to you, but I'm fine with it. We used to be classmates."

"I don't know how you see me, but in my opinion, since we're classmates, I'll definitely help you if there's anything I can do. That's why I'm here today, and I've brought you an opportunity."

After a brief silence at the dinner table, Wei Xing looked at Yang Yun and got straight to the point.

Wei Xing's directness also put Yang Yun in a state of torment and embarrassment.

I thought my former classmates were unaware of all my messy affairs, but it turns out they've been watching all along, only keeping quiet out of politeness.

The fact that this wound was suddenly reopened today left him somewhat at a loss.

After a moment of silence, Yang Yun raised his head, his voice slightly hoarse as he looked at Wei Xing and asked, "What opportunity?"

Wei Xing didn't speak, but instead turned his gaze to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan finally had the opportunity to use his own methods to have a conversation with the dejected young man in front of him.

"Yang Yun, right? Hello. Since Wei Xing has already introduced me, I think it's necessary for me to introduce myself again."

"I am an honorary professor at Nancheng University, teaching foreign languages. The reason I've come to you today is to ask you to place an advertisement in the Nancheng newspaper!"

That's right, Lin Fan's publicity method is actually very simple and crude, which is to use advertising.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

Previously, Lin Fan was unable to promote his work directly through various advertising channels due to various limitations, but this time it's different.

First, he needs to accumulate wealth quickly in a short period of time, meaning his plan must be fast, otherwise it will delay many things.

Secondly, its products have indeed appeared in Nancheng, but for some reasons, they haven't become popular yet, and very few people even know about them.

Therefore, his current goal is very clear: to make a name for himself as quickly as possible, and he is willing to use any means necessary. In Lin Fan's view, advertising is the most suitable method.

"advertise?"

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Yang Yun subconsciously looked at Lin Fan.

Even Wei Xing, who was standing to the side, cast a curious glance at them.

Clearly, although Wei Xing accompanied Lin Fan, he didn't actually know that Lin Fan had contacted his classmate. What exactly was going on—what purchases were being discussed, and what newspaper articles were being published?

Upon hearing Lin Fan mention placing an advertisement, the two belatedly realized that the game was about to be released.

Wei Xing, in particular, couldn't understand why Lin Fan, as an honorary teacher, would need to advertise. Was he planning to start a tutoring center in private to advertise himself?

That doesn't make sense. Let's not even talk about whether there's such a thing as private tutoring or cram schools these days. Even if there were, there's still no need to advertise in newspapers, right?

"If you want to advertise, that's fine, but this isn't my responsibility, nor can I handle it. Advertising in our newspaper requires paying for advertising space. You should talk to our director, not me."

After a slight hesitation, Yang Yun looked at Lin Fan and spoke calmly.

Nancheng Newspaper and Nancheng TV Station are both government-owned enterprises.

The government will certainly do advertising, and the advertising revenue will go to the government, not to private individuals.

If Lin Fan wanted to place an advertisement, he could have simply gone to the head of their newspaper office, negotiated the price, and then his ad would have been published. It seemed unnecessary for him to come to him.

Could it be that he thinks that because he works at the newspaper, he has a connection with the newspaper and can get some leniency to save him some money, or perhaps use some other back door?

Thinking about this, Yang Yun couldn't help but laugh.

Perhaps in other people's eyes he might be considered someone important at the newspaper, or at least someone who could say a few words, but only he knows how miserable his situation at the newspaper is right now.

He's practically been kicked out. I bet the director is annoyed by him now and wouldn't give him any face at all.

“You’ve misunderstood. I do want to use your newspaper to advertise for myself, but my way of advertising is a little different from the traditional way. I don’t need your advertising space. I just need you to write a story about me in your section, just like you usually do when you collect news stories.”

"Of course, I will also give you some compensation, and I will also teach you a good method, which is exactly what you need right now."
