Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

"Old Zhang, someone's come to the newspaper office to swindle people, they're so arrogant!" Xiao Lin said, winking at Old Zhang beside him.

Old Zhang, standing nearby, chimed in, "Sigh, the world is going to the dogs. Why not do something better at such a young age? Coming to a newspaper to scam people? Aren't you afraid of getting arrested and going to jail?"

"Given a chance to become famous, some people will naturally try their best to seize it."

"The worst part is, he actually succeeded!"

The two of them stood at the gate, singing and talking non-stop, just like a crosstalk performance, their eyes fixed on Chang Kun.

Chang Kun sneered. These kinds of people didn't even have the courage to talk to him. They only dared to make veiled accusations and insults. Paying attention to them would only be a waste of his breath.

"Get out of here!"

Xiao Lin and Lao Zhang's crosstalk suddenly stopped. The two looked at each other and were surprised that Chang Kun ignored their sarcasm.

"What? You're running away after scamming people? Afraid of getting caught?"

Xiao Lin's eyes widened, as if she had realized something. Chang Kun was in such a hurry to leave that he must have something to hide!

"We can't let him get away! Quickly, call for help!"

Old Zhang was even more of a character; before he even understood what was going on, he was already thinking about arresting the person first.

If this kind of person were placed in the Red Guards a few years later, they would be a really good one.

Chang Kun was a little annoyed. These two were courting death. If they weren't in the newspaper office, he would have liked to give each of them a taste of capsaicin so they could experience the saltiness.

Just then, a clear voice rang out from outside the gate: "Hello, may I come in?"

The two lively characters at the door turned around, their eyes widened in surprise, and they quickly straightened their backs and moved aside to the side of the door.

"Hello, please come in..."

They had never seen such a lovely girl before; she seemed like an angel descended to earth.

The girl outside said thank you and stepped lightly inside.

"Chang Kun? You really are here!"

When the girl saw Chang Kun, a surprised smile appeared on her face. She quickly walked a few steps to Chang Kun's side.

"You are... Li Xiaxia, right?" Chang Kun was stunned for a moment, then remembered that the girl opposite him was the granddaughter of Old Li the fisherman, the one who studied music.

Li Xiaxia nodded and smiled, "Not bad, you still remember my name. It's a big loss of points to call a girl by the wrong name."

Yesterday, I heard from my teacher that the music for "Hometown" had been completed. Today, Shen Yanbing arranged to discuss the music with Chang Kun. Upon hearing this news, Li Xiaoxia rushed over.

She particularly liked the song about her hometown, especially since it was composed by a young person like herself, which added to its charm.

Secondly, she had often read the articles of the elderly Shen Yanbing, but had never met him in person. At this time, Chang Kun happened to be talking to him, so she took the opportunity to meet him.

"I came here to take care of some things, and I've finished them, so I'll be leaving now..." Upon seeing Li Xiaoxia, Chang Kun recalled the time when Cheng Min was jealous.

Both being young and beautiful women, Cheng Min was thoroughly outshone by Li Xiaoxia's attire last time, which made her unhappy for quite a while.

This is nobody's fault. Li Xiaoxia is a musician, so she has a natural talent for dressing up.

People who are involved in art rarely lack a sense of style, regardless of gender or gender...

"Hey, hey, don't rush off." Li Xiaxia grabbed Chang Kun's sleeve.

Chang Kun turned and glanced at her. Li Xiaoxia quickly let go of his hand, gave an awkward smile, and asked, "I wanted to ask you, did you see Old Master Shen just now?"

"I've seen him, what's wrong?"

"Ah! I missed it... Oh well, it's nothing!" Li Xiaxia pouted cutely, pretending not to care. "Then I'm fine too, let's go together."

Xiao Lin and Lao Zhang, standing at the door, watched enviously as their goddess chatted with Chang Kun, their hearts pounding with jealousy. How come Chang Kun is everywhere? Even such a lovely girl knows him!

After listening carefully for a few moments, they finally understood that Chang Kun wasn't familiar with this girl named Li Xiaoxia, and it was already good enough that he hadn't mispronounced her name.

Xiao Lin's eyes lit up, and he instantly perked up. He shamelessly ran to Li Xiaoxia's side and said, "Comrade, is there anything I can help you with? I know everyone at the newspaper."

Li Xiaoxia was beautiful and knew how to dress. She had seen too many men like Xiao Lin. She just glanced at him disdainfully and didn't say a word to Xiao Lin. Instead, she turned to Chang Kun.

"Chang Kun, let's go."

Simp, simp, in the end you'll have nothing left. That's the kind of person I'm talking about.

Completely ignored, Kobayashi's face flushed red.

Young people are at the age when they care most about their reputation; they can't bear such humiliation.

"Comrade, be careful, don't let him fool you."

In his excitement, Xiaolin shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the surrounding newspaper staff.

Before Chang Kun could speak, Li Xiaoxia interrupted, "What a joke! You know what kind of relationship we have, yet you're telling me to be careful!"

There are usually many people vying for her attention, but I've never seen anyone like Xiaolin who says nonsensical things on the first meeting.

Chang Kun laughed too, too lazy to pay attention to this person, instead letting him jump around like a clown.

"Comrade, I'm lying? Which eye of yours saw me lying?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolin became even more agitated: "You still dare to say you're not lying? Anyone with eyes can tell that this piece wasn't composed by a young person, yet you dare to pass it off as an original!"

Li Xiaoxia blinked. Was this person talking about "Hometown"?

This piece sounds like it was created by someone with a story to tell, even her teacher said so, and she really wanted to hear Chang Kun's explanation.

Just then, Editor Zou heard the commotion and walked over with a frown.

"Kobayashi, what's going on? What are you doing here?!"

"Editor Zou, I..." After hesitating for a moment, Xiaolin mustered up her courage and said, "I suspect that the piece wasn't originally composed by Chang Kun, and I'm questioning it."

Editor Zou's face immediately darkened: "Do you need to question me? Is Chief Editor Shen really that smart as you? You think he'd be fooled?"

Xiao Lin retorted, "Everyone makes mistakes, and even horses stumble. Who can say for sure..."

His voice trailed off as he saw Shen Yanbing peeking out from the second floor.

"What's all the noise about!"

Shen Yanbing, with a straight face, casually uttered a sentence, and the room immediately fell silent.

Both Xiao Lin and Lao Zhang became obedient, shrinking their heads and not daring to speak.

Editor Zou reached out and gently patted Chang Kun on the back: "Chang Kun, I'm sorry, we didn't do a good job and made you feel wronged. These young people are all inexperienced."

Chang Kun didn't even glance at the two clowns, exchanged a few pleasantries with Editor Zou, and then walked out the door.

Getting angry with a few petty people will only make you look bad.

Li Xiaoxia also came out, and she kept looking towards the second floor of the newspaper office, looking reluctant to leave.

"What, do you know Editor-in-Chief Shen on the second floor?" Chang Kun asked curiously.

"What?! You called him Editor-in-Chief Shen? My God!" Li Xiaxia slapped her forehead, her face showing disbelief.

???

"Isn't that Editor-in-Chief Shen? I see everyone calls him that." Chang Kun asked, puzzled.

"Then do you know his name?"

"It seems he calls himself Shen Dehong, but some people also call him Yan Bing..." Chang Kun paused, then realized, "Could he be quite famous?"

"Heh!" Li Xiaxia sneered, clearing her throat before speaking.

"I'll broaden your horizons today. Mr. Shen Yanbing, he also has a pen name."

Seeing Chang Kun staring at her expectantly, Li Xiaxia kept him in suspense before slowly speaking.

His pen name was—Mao Dun!

Click!

Chang Kun felt as if a thunderbolt had struck his mind; it was utterly astonishing!

Having talked with him for so long, I had no idea that Old Shen was actually Mao Dun!

It is truly an honor to meet this master craftsman here!
