Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 431 An Interview with a Nineteen-Year-Old (5K)

On the day of his nineteenth birthday, which also happened to be the day of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television's exclusive interview.

The interview was held at the recording site of "The Voice of China" arranged by the provincial TV station, and the audience members were almost all staff members of the provincial TV station.

All five special guests have arrived.

Yan Xinyi obtained some key information from Zeng Wenjie, and with her own hard work, she successfully secured the role of host for this interview after some effort.

Because the interview content will to some extent revolve around the topic of "village BA" and ask Zeng Wenjie questions, Yan Xinyi has a great advantage in this regard, and other hosts are not as good as her in this aspect.

Zeng Wenjie had already memorized Feng Xiao's manuscript perfectly, so he remained very calm.

Despite this being an exclusive interview with the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, he remained relatively calm.

As the host, Yan Xinyi had read Zeng Wenjie's script long ago and admired him greatly.

She has good writing skills, but her insight is not as discerning, and her depth of thought is also lacking.

Feng Xiao also came to the scene today, mingling in the audience. She was resting her chin on her hand, looking at Zeng Wenjie sitting on the stage with anticipation and appreciation.

This young man is someone she has witnessed grow step by step. His current level of success is inseparable from the articles she wrote for him, which gave her a sense of joy, almost like playing a nurturing game.

Dressed in a suit and tie, Zeng Wenjie sat opposite Yan Xinyi, appearing humble and low-key, but his answers to questions were insightful and unique.

Yan Xinyi asked, "I've heard that Wenjie's employees are very well paid?"

Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "This is to learn from General Manager Yu of DL Group in Zhongyuan Province. He is my role model, and these are all things that an entrepreneur should do."

Yan Xinyi then asked, "Why do you think that?"

Zeng Wenjie pretended to think for a moment and said, "I just want to make a small contribution to the great rejuvenation of our country. This dream belongs to the country, to the nation, and to every Chinese person."

"What I've always been thinking about is how to fully integrate myself with consumers and employees, forming an unbreakable and inseparable close relationship."

"Instead of treating consumers as consumers, it is not about treating employees as slaves to be worked like cattle and horses."

Yan Xinyi exclaimed, "What an extraordinary level of thinking! Perhaps it is precisely because of this level of thinking that you have achieved what you have today?"

Zeng Wenjie shook his head and said, "Of course not. The ancients said it well: 'When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven.' I may have stumbled upon some success by chance, which broadened my horizons and gave me the thoughts and ambitions I have today."

Yan Xinyi smiled and said, "Thank you for your answer. Now, let's hear what our five special guests have to say about you."

The staff handed the microphone to the university president first.

Principal Gao, a man accustomed to grand occasions and possessing a wealth of knowledge, calmly smiled and said, "Zeng Wenjie, at first I also thought he was an unrealistic dreamer, but while he was imagining things, he was also able to take action, and some of his outrageous actions were actually successful in the end... I have been teaching all my life and have been a teacher all my life, and I have never met such a unique student as him before."

After Principal Gao had spoken at length, the microphone was handed to Zheng Shouyun.

"Mr. Zheng is a senior executive at Tencent Group and currently serves as the project director for 'Hero Kill'. May I ask Mr. Zheng's opinion and evaluation of his young partner, Zeng Wenjie?" Yan Xinyi turned to Zheng Shouyun and asked with a smile.

Zheng Shouyun, dressed in a suit and sitting upright, smiled and said, "Our initial impression of President Zeng came from our boss, President Ma. He praised President Zeng as a genius, with imaginative thinking and extremely strong execution ability..."

After interviewing them one by one, it was Qin Yixuan's turn.

Her evaluation was rather official, almost like reading from a prepared script.

When it was Fu Qianzhu's turn, she was clearly a little nervous, and her face turned red.

"Senior Fu Qianzhu is the one who truly accompanied me through the process of starting my business from scratch. She witnessed the snack shop grow step by step and also witnessed every achievement I made. I am very grateful to her from beginning to end," Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

Holding the microphone, Fu Qianzhu commented simply, "Many people consider Wenjie a genius, with unique ideas and extraordinary thoughts. But in my opinion, he is a pragmatic and simple-minded person, possessing the natural simplicity and cheerfulness of a child from a working-class family. He is happy to help the weak, willing to share his achievements, and always has empathy and care for the underprivileged. His success is well-deserved. I hope he can be even more successful, and I hope that all people with such simple emotions can achieve success... I firmly believe that such people can make our living environment and our country better."

Zeng Wenjie was surprised to receive such high praise from Fu Qianzhu. He then smiled and looked down.

After the guest's Q&A session ended, Yan Xinyi cleverly picked up the conversation again and continued talking with Zeng Wenjie.

Next, the special guests asked questions, which Zeng Wenjie then answered.

Most of the questions were actually pre-arranged by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and the guests only needed to read from the script.

Only Principal Gao was unrestrained. He came up with several witty ideas on the spot, asked Zeng Wenjie about them, and then interacted with him. The response from the audience was excellent.

"Okay, thank you Wenjie for accepting our invitation to participate in this interview, and thank you to the five special guests! I hope we can meet again on the show someday." Yan Xinyi stood up and smiled at Zeng Wenjie.

"Okay, thank you, host," Zeng Wenjie said politely, extending his hand to shake hers.

As they shook hands, Zeng Wenjie noticed that Yan Xinyi's little finger swiped twice inside his palm, which startled him.

Goodness, the host from Peking University is incredibly bold! How dare he flirt in a setting like this?!
After Zeng Wenjie and the others left, Yan Xinyi gave a series of summaries to the camera, and then officially ended the interview.

Feng Xiao sat in the audience and applauded along with the other audience members. She was also very satisfied with Zeng Wenjie's performance on stage.

Judging from Zeng Wenjie's performance, it can be described as perfect. After the program airs, the official team will definitely like it very much and will strongly promote this college student entrepreneur with a broad vision.

Most entrepreneurs don't receive this kind of treatment; after all, Zeng Wenjie is a college graduate.

This identity is nothing special in ordinary times, but if you use this identity to do a lot of amazing things, then this identity becomes incredibly awesome.

Students are the most closely watched group in any country, even in Europe and America.

Because this group represents the future of a country and a nation, and even more so, the spirit and vitality of this generation of young people.

Even Yan Xinyi, a host accustomed to big events, felt a sense of relief after the interview ended. Zeng Wenjie was so outstanding that she was even afraid of making a mistake that might affect the high quality of the entire interview.

Fortunately, she performed consistently, and the mental fortitude honed through countless practices and experience in big stages made her performance commendable.

Qin Yixuan also sighed inwardly, only Yan Xinyi had the ability to handle the situation.

She thought to herself that if she were in Yan Xinyi's position, she would find it difficult to maintain composure and would never have been able to make this interview so engaging.

Yan Xinyi's abilities combined with Zeng Wenjie's excellence make this interview seem like it will be surprisingly effective!
Zeng Wenjie thanked each of the staff members of the General Administration.

The usually arrogant people from the General Administration treated him very politely, shaking his hand, speaking kindly, and exchanging contact information.

Yan Xinyi smiled and said, "Wenjie, you performed very well and were excellent. I even think that this interview might be featured on the program 'Focus Interview'."

Zeng Wenjie said, "That's because you, Sister Yan, did a great job hosting. I was just answering questions based on a prepared script."

Such official interviews have no room for improvisation; the scripts must be written and reviewed in advance.

If you're interviewing entertainment stars, it's probably much simpler; there aren't so many complicated details.

"Everyone has worked hard. I've arranged a dinner, please do me the honor of joining us!" Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

Of course, everyone from the State Administration of Radio and Television will be there, along with the five guests and some leaders from the provincial TV station.

Zeng Wenjie is a good person.

Of course, the cost is different when you're a dog.

The banquet was held at Xue Lu's Shanshui Pavilion, with the highest level of hospitality and expensive drinks.

There were about sixteen people at the table, including Zeng Wenjie and five guests, Yan Xinyi, and leaders from the State Administration of Radio and Television and the provincial TV station.

The rest of the people were left to their own devices.

Shi Hao looked at Zeng Wenjie with a somewhat convinced expression and said, "Junior, if I were to step down as student council president and you didn't take over, I would think it was all a shady deal!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "President, do you think I don't have enough work? I don't have the energy to take on any more important work in the student union."

Principal Gao smiled and said, "You should focus on your entrepreneurship. I'm looking forward to seeing you achieve even greater success this year."

Zeng Wenjie said, "It'll be soon. After 'Hero Kill' is released, Teacher Gao, you'll be very satisfied!"

Principal Gao nodded, hoping that "Hero Kill" would exceed his expectations. However, he was getting old and there was a generation gap between him and young people. He also didn't understand the current online game environment and market.

After playing it, I found it quite interesting.

There is still more than a month until the release of "Hero Kill".

“Wenjie, I hope that once the Fengzhou Business Alliance is established, it will also make a name for itself. That way, we should be able to meet again very soon! Next time, it will most likely be you coming to Yanjing to be interviewed by us,” Yan Xinyi said.

“Thank you for your kind words, I hope so too,” Zeng Wenjie said.

Yan Xinyi looked at Zeng Wenjie with great admiration, and she also hoped that the Fengzhou Business Alliance would achieve some success after its establishment.

After Fu Qianzhu finished eating, she whispered to Zeng Wenjie, "Boss, I'm going back now. I still need to calculate the day's revenue later."

Zeng Wenjie said, "I've given you the day off, so just relax!"

Fu Qianzhu shook her head and smiled, "I don't feel at ease if I'm not guarding the snack shop. Besides, I still need to study when I get back. You're getting taller and taller, so I have to study hard to keep up with you!" Zeng Wenjie smiled helplessly and said, "Alright then, I'll see you out."

He greeted the guests present and then saw Fu Qianzhu out.

"You look very handsome today!" Fu Qianzhu said with a smile.

"When am I not handsome?" Zeng Wenjie tossed a cigarette into his mouth and replied with a roguish grin.

"Anyway, I look the most handsome today!" Fu Qianzhu said.

"Alright, you're in charge. Who told you to be so nice today?" Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

When they reached the roadside, he reached out to help Fu Qianzhu flag down a taxi, then handed the driver a 20-yuan note and asked him to take her to her destination.

Otherwise, Fu Qianzhu would definitely be willing to walk a few hundred meters forward to take a bus and then transfer to another bus to go back.

Fu Qianzhu glanced helplessly at Zeng Wenjie, her eyes clear and innocent.

"Don't look at me like that, or I'm afraid I won't be able to stop myself from overthinking," Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

However, the driver, oblivious to the romance, sped off before Fu Qianzhu could reply.

Zeng Wenjie rolled his eyes. Damn it, what's wrong with waiting another half a minute? Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry?

He returned to the hotel smoking and bumped into Xue Lu.

"President Zeng, congratulations! You've already been interviewed by the General Administration without us even realizing it. That's amazing!" Xue Lu flattered Zeng Wenjie.

"Mr. Xue, you're too kind. We'll be partners from now on, so we should learn from and improve together," Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

"I'll cover today's expenses, Mr. Zeng, please enjoy your meal without worry," Xue Lu said.

"No, no, no, I can't let you come today. Otherwise, if others find out, they'll start to have all sorts of questions," Zeng Wenjie refused.

In the past, he would have felt perfectly justified in taking bribes and using them to deal with Xue Lu.

But now, the matter of Century City has been settled, and Shi Jing has been sent to Xudu to study with DL. He and Xue Lu are now officially bound together.

It's not advisable to take advantage of small things now, even if the problem may not be serious, it can easily cause resentment.

A pleasant collaboration is certainly much better than a collaboration based on mutual resentment.

Xue Lu also sensed the change in Zeng Wenjie's attitude towards him, and he couldn't help but admire him inwardly. This young man was truly remarkable!

It's a pity he already has a girlfriend; otherwise, it would be perfect to have his daughter, Xue Xiangyao, pursue him.
He had always had confidence in Xue Xiangyao, but when he thought of Mu Qingyang, he felt that even if Xue Xiangyao pursued him, there was not much of a chance.

Qin Yixuan was waiting for Zeng Wenjie outside. When she saw him, she immediately waved to him.

Then I saw Senior Sister Qin with her hands behind her back, leaning slightly forward, and saying with a smile, "Wenjie, we're going back tomorrow!"

Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "Then I wish you all the best on your journey."

Qin Yixuan was both amused and exasperated. That damned Zeng Wenjie was still so vengeful!
She looked at Zeng Wenjie with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

She was afraid of being raped before...

But today, I kind of want to be fucked.

Zeng Wenjie, dressed in a suit and tie, sat in front of Yan Xinyi. Facing so many cameras, he chatted and laughed with ease, and his words were full of poise and had the demeanor of a big boss. This really hit her sweet spot!

Who says only men like the allure of uniforms?

Women will really like it too!
Zeng Wenjie had already seen through Qin Yixuan's thoughts, so he teased, "Addicted, huh?!"

Qin Yixuan lightly bit her lower lip with her silver teeth, a charming expression on her face, then stomped her foot in annoyance and said, "I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

After saying that, she turned and left.

Zeng Wenjie reached out and grabbed her, then hugged her. Taking advantage of the quietness, he put his hand directly into her collar and said reassuringly, "Senior Sister Qin, I have something to do today."

Qin Yixuan said resentfully, "You should have said so earlier! You were just teasing me, making me feel like... like... like I'm so insecure!"

As she spoke, she became somewhat tearful.

A low-level green tea master misuses tears, but a true master of tea uses them perfectly, and with terrifying skill.

"Don't worry, senior, go back to work. We'll keep in touch anytime. Once the work in Guzhou County starts, I'll give you priority to let you know so you can take the initiative," Zeng Wenjie said.

Qin Yixuan turned around and hugged him, saying coquettishly, "What I want is for you to be with me. What does work matter compared to you!"

That being said, she was quite satisfied with the answer.

This means she's being protected by a powerful figure, right?

When the two returned to the private room, they appeared completely at ease, chatting and laughing, and no outsider could detect anything amiss.

But Yan Xinyi is an incredibly perceptive host; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she has the same sharp eyes as Zeng Wenjie.

Others might not notice, but she could.

Previously, Zeng Wenjie and Qin Yixuan's relationship was visibly strained, but now it seemed much more natural. Considering that this junior sister Qin had stayed out all night several times, she had already made a guess and reached a conclusion.

The atmosphere at the banquet was very lively, with everyone in high spirits and drinking quite a bit of alcohol.

Principal Gao had drunk too much, so Zeng Wenjie asked Shi Hao to take him home to rest. No one dared to keep the old principal, lest something really bad happen.

In the past, if he had ordered Shi Hao, the student council president, around like this, the latter would have spat at him. But now, he obediently listens to him!
It's clear that there's a reason why Senior Qin has become so docile.

After all, Zeng Wenjie had even tamed Shi Hao.

Yan Xinyi also drank quite a bit of wine. She said to Zeng Wenjie, "We are still not close enough. When I have time, I will fly to Fengzhou. You must give me a proper welcome."

"Don't worry, Sister Yan, I will definitely treat you well," Zeng Wenjie said hurriedly.

Yan Xinyi leaned over with her wine glass and clinked glasses with him, then leaned to the side and rested her head on his lap.

Zeng Wenjie was taken aback. Recalling the scene of her scratching her palm with her little finger, he unceremoniously leaned against her shoulder, casually pinched her wrist, and laughed, "Be careful, you're a little drunk."

"I can hold my liquor very well," Yan Xinyi said with a smile. "If you don't believe me, let's have a second round!"

“I have other things to do,” Zeng Wenjie said.

"Sigh, there's always something going on. I don't know if it's genuine regret or just you brushing me off! It makes me a little sad," Yan Xinyi sighed helplessly.

"Haha, Sister Yan, you're joking. Who wouldn't want to spend more time with an outstanding woman like you?" Zeng Wenjie said.

Normally, he would have agreed immediately, as this would undoubtedly be a great opportunity. But today, even if the Heavenly King himself came, he would have to go back!

For Zeng Wenjie in the past, a woman like Yan Xinyi was simply unattainable, and he was even destined never to cross paths with her.

She was on TV, and he was off TV.

But now, girls like this are taking the initiative to express their affection and want to get to know him better, maintaining an ambiguous relationship?

In the noisy private room, Zeng Wenjie quietly held hands with Yan Xinyi and drank several glasses together.

It was limited to the ambiguous act of holding hands.

Seeing that the other party could remain sober and restrained despite having drunk quite a bit of wine and being surrounded by beautiful women, Yan Xinyi couldn't help but feel even more favorably disposed towards him.

"I hope that when we meet again, you'll have reached a new level," Yan Xinyi said with a smile, gently patting Zeng Wenjie's shoulder.

"With your blessing, I'm sure I can do it!" Zeng Wenjie raised his glass and smiled.

Yan Xinyi smiled gently, shaking her short hair, and said, "Yes, keep in touch anytime."

That head tilt is absolutely breathtaking...

Zeng Wenjie asked Xue Lu to come in and help arrange the next event, then ran away.

Without a doubt, Zheng Shouyun is going to have a great time tonight, and tomorrow he'll definitely be shouting, "I'm never drinking again!"

However, he still went out drinking with Xue Lu as usual.

Everyone who drinks too much wakes up feeling unwell the next day and thinks about things like "I'll never drink again," but once they start drinking, no one can stop them.

Zeng Wenjie did not return to school, but instead went back to the house that Zeng Xiangdong rented.
