Chapter 466 The Skill Gap Between Qin and Yan (5K)

Previously, Zeng Wenjie wouldn't have dared to even dream of owning a villa.

But now, you can buy whatever you want, and the price is cheaper!

In a few more years, housing prices will skyrocket, and countless people will become mortgage slaves.

Nowadays, buying a house or villa is considered a profitable investment.

But Zeng Wenjie wasn't very interested in making money this way. Speculating on real estate was too unambitious, and besides, houses are meant to be lived in, so he didn't want to push people down a path that went against that original intention.

The real estate market involves far too many complex issues; even Xiaomi, known for its aggressive price cuts, hasn't dared to drive down housing prices.

Before Zeng Wenjie had even chosen a villa, he received a message from the General Administration of Radio, Film and Television, saying that they would arrange an exclusive interview for him during the May Day holiday.

Zeng Wenjie uttered a big word: "Can't we just enjoy our holidays properly?"
But they couldn't refuse the General Administration's request, so they could only obsequiously agree and thank their superiors profusely.

The interview team was still led by the same leader as last time, and the host was Yan Xinyi.

Qin Yixuan, taking advantage of the information Zeng Wenjie provided about "Cun Chao," preemptively wrote several excellent articles.

In addition, since this interview was going to involve "Cun Chao" anyway, she finally got the chance to become the assistant host.

The co-host doesn't actually have many opportunities to show her face or speak, but for her, this is undoubtedly a symbol of elevated status!

Having this work experience is equivalent to truly establishing a foothold in the General Administration.

The General Administration of Sport had its reasons for scheduling the interview for May Day. After interviewing Zeng Wenjie, they planned to visit the two popular leagues, "Village Super League" and "Village Basketball League," to gather more reports.

The current big boss, who once held a powerful position in the province, has a deep affection for this poor and backward province and pays close attention to it.

Now that Trung Son province has been able to develop its tourism industry and become self-sufficient without relying on funding from the capital, it certainly deserves strong support and exposure.

As the host, Zeng Wenjie borrowed several commercial vehicles from Xue Lu's side to pick up passengers at the airport.

After the General Administration team came out, Qin Yixuan spotted Zeng Wenjie at a glance. She was secretly delighted and wished she could rush up and hug him immediately.

Unfortunately, I was surrounded by colleagues, and there were too many people around to do that, so I could only suppress the emotions surging in my heart.

Senior Sister Qin constantly manipulated herself, and finally managed to mold herself into the shape Zeng Wenjie wanted.

Yan Xinyi said to the leader in charge, "President Zeng has come to pick us up!"

The leader smiled and nodded. Like most of the high-ranking leaders in the General Administration, he admired and thought highly of Zeng Wenjie. In addition, knowing the superior's intentions, he was very polite to this young man.

Zeng Wenjie shook hands with the leader and greeted him, and then shook hands with familiar people in the team and greeted them as well.

"Junior, I didn't expect to meet you so soon!" Qin Yixuan said with a smile as she shook hands with Zeng Wenjie, her little finger tracing patterns on his palm.

“Yes!” Zeng Wenjie nodded with a smile and shook hands with Yan Xinyi.

Yan Xinyi said, "When you left last time, you made all the promises you made, and we thought you would come to Yanjing for an exclusive interview. I didn't expect that we would come down to interview you again! President Zeng, you really have a lot of influence."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Sister Yan, what are you saying? It's my regret that I couldn't go to Yanjing for an exclusive interview!"

The success of the snacks chain stores in major first-tier cities is remarkable, especially the Yanjing store, which caused a sensation in the entire business district on its opening day.

Riding on the success of the Yanjing store, the subsequent openings of stores in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou have also been successful, with frequent good news.

Zeng Wenjie's well-established supply chain has begun to bring him huge profits, a figure that is difficult for all the snack shops combined to match.

"Have the shopping malls opened yet?" Yan Xinyi asked.

"That's for the second half of this year, and the workload is enormous," Zeng Wenjie shook his head and smiled helplessly.

“That must be very profitable!” Yan Xinyi said.

"We definitely make money, but the profit margin isn't high. This is a company that aims to benefit the local people and solve certain employment problems," Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

The team leader said, "Haha, you're already talking about it? Zeng, why don't we settle down first and then discuss it further!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Hey, look at my pig brain, I can't even be a proper host! Come on, everyone, follow me, let's get in the car and go to the hotel first, and then I'll treat you all to dinner."

Qin Yixuan was in a hurry and didn't get to say much to Zeng Wenjie before Yan Xinyi spoke first.

But given the circumstances, they could only endure it for the time being.

As she boarded the bus, she felt a light pat on her bottom. She couldn't help but smile, then turned and rolled her eyes at him.

Senior Sister Qin has the figure of a standard print model, but since she left Fengzhou last time, it seems that she has... grown a bit more?
Fortunately, Zeng Wenjie is not General Manager Lü, and Senior Sister Qin is not Officer Zhang; otherwise, they might have offended each other.

The vehicle arrived smoothly at the Longdu Hotel, where Xue Lu had already arranged rooms for Zeng Wenjie in advance.

Xue Lu is the vice president of the business alliance and a close partner of Zeng Wenjie, but he listens to Zeng Wenjie's orders very much and often asks him for help with troublesome matters.

Xue Xiangyao even felt a little resentful, feeling that his father was like Zeng Wenjie's shadow, which made him lose face.

Yan Xinyi still had her signature short, neat hair that only reached her chin, and it was trimmed very frequently.

She deliberately walked up to Zeng Wenjie and joked with him.

Since she hosted the last interview, no one else found it strange.

Qin Yixuan could only walk aside, feeling frustrated, and silently listen to their laughter and conversation, his sense of crisis growing stronger.

The team consisted of twelve people, and Zeng Wenjie booked single rooms for all of them. Actually, double rooms would have been more economical and wouldn't have seemed cheap. The reason for booking single rooms was, after all, for Senior Qin's sake!
"Everyone, please go to your rooms to put down your luggage and rest for a while. After you've rested, gather in the lobby and then we'll have dinner," Zeng Wenjie said.

"Xiao Zeng, thank you for arranging all this!" The team leader patted Zeng Wenjie on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"You're too kind, it's just my duty," Zeng Wenjie said, shaking his hand.

Looking at Zeng Wenjie, Qin Yixuan felt that he was becoming more and more like a big shot, inspiring awe in ordinary people.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but purse her lips slightly and quietly close her legs, feeling a surge of emotion welling up inside her.

Yan Xinyi said to Zeng Wenjie, "Mr. Zeng, I have something I want to discuss with you. Is this a convenient time?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Okay, Sister Yan, you go put your luggage down first, I'll wait for you in the tea room."

Qin Yixuan glanced at Yan Xinyi with a hint of resentment and helplessness, then asked Zeng Wenjie, "Junior, how is Xiuqin doing at your company?"

Zeng Wenjie then said, "I sent Senior Sister Yuan to be stationed in Shenzhen because we need someone to handle the liaison work for our in-depth cooperation with Tencent. It's unfortunate that you came back this time; you probably won't see your good friend."

Qin Yixuan asked in surprise, "She went to Shenzhen?"

She already knew this information from Yuan Xiuqin's posts, and besides, the students from Chongqing University had a group chat, and Yuan Xiuqin wasn't the type to keep quiet; she would often post in the group.

Yuan Xiuqin was assigned to be stationed at Penguin, and she took many photos and posted them on social media, which aroused a lot of envy.

It's hard to say that she wasn't showing off.

However, this is normal. Yuan Xiuqin was a recent graduate and happened to join Zeng Wenjie's team to develop "Hero Kill". Then he reached an enviable deep cooperation with Tencent.

Now, she has been assigned to Shenzhen and frequently visits Tencent's headquarters, which is incredibly impressive for a recent graduate.
Qin Yixuan deliberately brought up Yuan Xiuqin's topic to chat with Zeng Wenjie until everyone left. Then she said with a resentful look in her eyes, "Senior sister is so annoying. She didn't even give me a chance to chime in."

“If anyone’s going to interrupt, it’s me. Why are you interrupting?” Zeng Wenjie teased.

Qin Yixuan was taken aback. After realizing what was happening, he couldn't help but unleash his "green tea fist," a light, flirtatious gesture rather than a form of punishment.

Zeng Wenjie caught her fist and then had someone else pin her down.

Having witnessed the officers effortlessly subdue Jiang Quan and his group, he had learned a lesson and put it into practice today.

After savoring the fragrant tea, Zeng Wenjie released Qin Yixuan and said, "Go back to your room and rest. I'll chat with Yan Xinyi for a while; she probably has something important to tell me."

Qin Yixuan nodded helplessly, then asked in a cute tone, "Is my outfit okay today?" "It's fine, black stockings with a pleated skirt are pretty amazing," Zeng Wenjie laughed.

"Knowing I was coming to Fengzhou today, I took a long time to get here," Qin Yixuan said.

Zeng Wenjie smiled without saying a word, raised his hand to signal her to go back to her room to rest. Qin Yixuan took two steps forward, then stopped and turned back to give her a deep hug.

The movements were fluid and flawless, yet the subtle tricks were on full display.

"It's getting more and more exquisite!" Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but think.

Not long after, Yan Xinyi changed her clothes and arrived at the tea room. Her new outfit surprised Zeng Wenjie.

When she arrived, Yan Xinyi was dressed simply and casually, but now she's wearing high heels, stockings, and a long skirt.

Already a well-known host, she deliberately dressed up, and even with simple makeup, she still exuded boundless beauty.

This makes one have to mention how inexperienced Senior Qin was in front of the host at Yenching University.

She came dressed up carefully, and she looked quite nice;
However, Yan Xinyi appeared in an ordinary outfit, but now she has changed into a more beautiful dress, which is a wonderful reversal and will leave a more deep impression.

"Why did Sister Yan change her clothes?" Zeng Wenjie asked knowingly.

"Oh, it's not good-looking?" Yan Xinyi asked in surprise. "I saved up my salary for a long time to buy this Chanel, and I wanted you, a giant in the luxury goods industry, to give your opinion."

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "Are you mocking me? I can hardly be called a tycoon, and the brand I run is just a mid-range luxury brand, which is several levels below top-tier luxury brands."

Yan Xinyi sat down, took the coffee Zeng Wenjie poured for her, and nodded her thanks. "What I want to tell you is about Marlenia."

Zeng Wenjie asked, "Oh? I'm all ears."

Yan Xinyi pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, it's not a good thing, and I'm not quite sure either, but I feel I should tell you so you can prepare in advance."

Zeng Wenjie frowned and said, "Just say it."

Yan Xinyi said, "Actually, I heard it by chance that Lin Dong of Jiucheng Capital is very dissatisfied with you. It is said that he has put a lot of effort into investigating your Marlenia and found out some things, which he plans to expose."

Zeng Wenjie had a disagreement with Nine City Capital, but it wasn't a big deal.

But Feng Xiao's refusal, coupled with his splashing water on Yan Xueyou's face, his subsequent cooperation with Tencent, and the huge success of Snack Panic in opening stores in first-tier cities, all piled up Lin Dong's anger.

Do you think high-end business warfare involves strategic planning, decisive battles, troop deployment, and short selling in the stock market?
No, high-end business battles are often simple and unpretentious, such as two bosses arranging a fight offline, sending each other insults to each other's mothers from afar, and exchanging sarcastic remarks.

Therefore, Nine City Capital was subjected to a lot of sarcastic remarks, which only fueled Lin Dong's anger.

"Check my Marlene?" Zeng Wenjie took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and was about to light it when he put the lighter down again.

Yan Xinyi couldn't help but smile and said, "Why don't you light it?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "I remember that Sister Yan disliked secondhand smoke."

Yan Xinyi said, "You're different from others. They smoke nicotine, but you smoke thoughtful consideration."

Damn it?

Listen to this! What the hell does it mean to call someone a "talented woman from Yenching University"?!
As she spoke, she picked up a matchbox from the hotel's tea room, struck a match, and brought it over, saying, "Here you go."

"Oh, thank you!" Zeng Wenjie leaned over and lit the cigarette.

Although other women might not light cigarettes as well as Mu Qingyang, it's still better than doing it yourself.

Zeng Wenjie's grandfather once said, "The best food is the one that's ready-made."

Previously, when Yan Xinyi first met Zeng Wenjie, she scolded him angrily because he was smoking in a corner and it affected the interview.

After taking a couple of puffs, Zeng Wenjie asked, "Is this Lin Dong the big boss of Nine City Capital?"

Yan Xinyi nodded and said, "Yes, it wasn't easy for me to find out this information!"

Zeng Wenjie said calmly, "Let them investigate, let them expose us, we can just do some public relations."

There are far too many fake foreign brand products in China. The key issue is that some of these fake foreign brand health products are outrageously low in content, and some even contain heavy metals.

But Zeng Wenjie's Marlenia is only a women's clothing brand, and the quality is excellent. Even if his secrets are exposed, he won't be afraid.

Moreover, with the authorities supporting him so strongly now, it's impossible for him to back down. The hype will be suppressed once it rises, and with some public relations efforts, he can get through this smoothly.

"We still need to be careful. It would be such a pity if someone ruined our hard-earned brand with their underhanded tactics," Yan Xinyi reminded her.

"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Sister Yan, which allowed me to prepare in advance," Zeng Wenjie said with a smile and a cupped-hand salute.

Yan Xinyi said, "You're welcome. You've helped me a lot too. Shouldn't we help each other more often?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Sister Yan, you have taken care of me and helped me a lot. I am very grateful!"

Yan Xinyi smiled, pursing her lips, and said, "You know, if you have any big plans in the future, just give me a heads-up, and you won't have to be so grateful to me! I'll also let you know in advance if I have any news."

"Yes, yes, don't worry, Sister Yan," Zeng Wenjie said.

"You're the one who leaked the information about 'Village Super' to Xiao Qin, right?" Yan Xinyi asked.

She has an exceptionally high IQ and keen insight. Qin Yixuan suddenly published several stunning articles about "Cun Chao," which surprised everyone.

But she immediately realized that this was not Qin Yixuan's level; she shouldn't have such vision, and her foresight was even better than Qin Yixuan's.

Therefore, she basically concluded that it was Zeng Wenjie who revealed the advance notice to Qin Yixuan.

Otherwise, given Qin Yixuan's level of expertise, that kind of article would be completely unrelated to her. She would need at least two or three more years to hone her skills and develop a keen journalistic intuition before she could have any hope of achieving that.

Zeng Wenjie nodded dismissively and said, "Yes, after all, Senior Qin is a recent graduate from Chongqing University. I'm very close to her principal, so it's only right that I take care of her. Her entry into the General Administration is a sign that Chongqing University values ​​her highly!"

Yan Xinyi didn't believe this explanation at all. Although Qin Yixuan was intelligent and concealed it well, Yan Xinyi had sharp eyes and could see through the trick.

Xiao Qin's methods were things she had already learned and wouldn't even bother to use.

"Xiao Qin has managed to establish herself based on those articles about 'Cun Chao,' otherwise she wouldn't have come with the team this time, let alone secured a position as a deputy host," Yan Xinyi said with a smile.

As she said this, she couldn't help but reminisce about the past.

When she first arrived at the General Administration, she faced many difficulties, but she quickly established herself with her intelligence and abilities, and soon gained the approval of her superiors, climbing the ranks.

So, at this moment, she couldn't help but think that if she had had a great person like Zeng Wenjie to help her back then, would she have reached even greater heights and set some records now?

Yan Xinyi felt that it was entirely possible.

“I’m happy for her that she was able to do it,” Zeng Wenjie said.

Yan Xinyi laughed and said, "You've made so much noise in Chongshan, I'm afraid I'll have to fly here more often in the future. My interview with you last time also benefited me; now the leaders think of me first when planning things for Chongshan."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Hey, Sister Yan is such an outstanding person, she's just too modest. She keeps praising me, but actually, I'm the one who benefits the most!"

Yan Xinyi said earnestly, "You are really amazing. You are the most outstanding young person I have ever met! The success of a 'village BA' is already amazing enough, but in such a short time, another 'village super' has emerged. It's simply unbelievable."

Zeng Wenjie was already so excited that he was internally imitating Xia Luo's punching technique, but on his face he was extremely humble, waving his hands repeatedly to decline.

“By the way, isn’t Ye Yixuan, our senior, the one who carried out ‘Village Super’? She also graduated from our school, and even after so many years, there are still many legends about her circulating in the school,” Yan Xinyi said.

“Well, you’re alumni, and you’re going to Guzhou County to do news reporting, so I can help you get introduced,” Zeng Wenjie said.

"Thank you for your trouble!" Yan Xinyi said with a smile, her eyes curving like a charming silver moon.

She seized the opportunity to get there first, always one step ahead of others.

Zeng Wenjie thought, if someone like Yan Xinyi isn't outstanding, then who is?
