Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 504 My Superpower (7K)

After winning the National Top Ten Award, Zeng Wenjie has achieved his biggest goal of the year.

He doesn't plan to make too much of a fuss this year. Just as he told Mu Qingyang, he'll help the members of the Fengzhou Business Alliance with some marketing and development.

Miao Laoge's Series A funding was led by Tangxi, and he successfully expanded beyond the province, opening chain stores and is now making a fortune.

Some stores located in bustling downtown areas are constantly breaking records in the catering industry for daily table turnover.

Seeing how much money Brother Miao is making, no one can help but be envious. Even the provincial government has repeatedly commended Yan Peng, awarding him prizes such as Outstanding Entrepreneur, clearly intending to give him a boost.

Yan Peng is a grateful person. While developing his business outside the province, he would talk about Zeng Wenjie's awesomeness to almost everyone he met, which made Zeng Wenjie's reputation even greater in the business circle.

Then, Zeng Wenjie gained another nickname: the brilliant idea.

Thankfully it wasn't a gold bra, otherwise he would have coughed up three liters of blood.

This nickname seems very fitting, after all, almost no one would fail to make money after listening to his ideas.

Even giants like Jack Ma were willing to listen to advice and created an e-commerce festival, attracting more and more people to the e-commerce industry and causing the market to grow rapidly.

Zeng Wenjie has been receiving an overwhelming number of phone calls inviting him to dinner recently.

Some people even asked their superiors to invite them to dinner, which forced him to attend. Out of consideration for his superiors, he would offer them a little guidance.

Zhuang Aimin convened a meeting directly on this matter and summoned Zeng Wenjie.

When Zeng Wenjie saw that everyone present was a big shot from within the province, he couldn't help but grin and sit down at his seat.

Zhuang Aimin remained calm. When the time was up, he tapped the table, and everyone's attention immediately focused.

"Recently, the tourism industry in our Chong Son province has been booming, thanks to the two major competitive leagues, 'Village Super' and 'Village BA,' as well as various novel and ingenious promotional activities on the Internet."

“I know that many entrepreneurs have recently come to Chongshan.”

"Is that so, Zeng?"

Zeng Wenjie nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, a lot of entrepreneurs have come recently, including CEOs of listed companies."

Zeng Wenjie's network has recently expanded rapidly, and he has gotten to know big names in all walks of life.

Yan Peng works in the catering industry and has access to many people. He boasts about Zeng Wenjie's amazing abilities to everyone he meets, which inevitably makes some listeners eager to learn more.

As the story goes on, it gets more and more fantastical. But if you really delve into Zeng Wenjie's path to wealth, you'll find that he is truly a genius. Every marketing tactic he employs is so sophisticated that it's hard to imagine anyone else doing the same.

If he hadn't been so high-profile and unwilling to compromise last time, offending many large corporations, Marlenia would probably be a nationwide phenomenon by now, and those gold and jewelry giants would be completely crushed by him.

The bigwigs present couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"This is a good thing, but Zeng is a very busy man after all. He's already busy with his own business, and he has to help outside entrepreneurs come up with ideas and solutions. That's too tiring!" Zhuang Aimin said with a smile.

The bigwigs immediately frowned, and some even became nervous. They had all been invited to dinner by those outside entrepreneurs through connections, and then asked Zeng Wenjie for "brilliant ideas" at the dinner.

Unexpectedly, this matter came to the attention of Zhuang Aimin, the big boss.

Zeng Wenjie's heart tightened. "Damn it! My dear senior brother, please don't do anything to me. If all the big shots hold a grudge against me, that would be bad."

However, Zhuang Aimin did not criticize, but said: "The tourism industry in Chongshan Province has improved, but the economy of a province cannot rely solely on tourism, right? Therefore, we should try our best to win over these foreign entrepreneurs, keep them in Chongshan, and encourage them to invest more in Chongshan and build factories."

As he spoke, Zhuang Aimin glanced at Zeng Wenjie and asked, "Little Zeng, do you understand what I mean?"

Zeng Wenjie understood instantly.

Zhuang Aimin's idea was to let the entrepreneurs who wanted to learn from him invest in Chongshan first.

This is equivalent to treating Zeng Wenjie as "Buffett's lunch".

The bigwigs present all felt as if they had been enlightened. Yes, they should be asked to cast some votes, more or less.

Those who come to Zeng Wenjie for advice are usually prominent figures. Even if they only invest a few million, it would be a political achievement for everyone present!
Why didn't I think of that?

"The purpose of this meeting is precisely this: to retain more talent and entrepreneurs in Chongshan. If they are willing, Zeng, it wouldn't hurt for you to provide more assistance," Zhuang Aimin said with a smile.

Zeng Wenjie possesses a vision and knowledge far ahead of his time, as well as a wide variety of marketing tactics.

If he were willing to say more, the listeners would definitely make a fortune.

However, if you want Zeng Wenjie to offer advice or suggestions in the future, it won't be as simple as asking a leader to treat him to a meal; you'll have to spend real money to have a chance.

Zeng Wenjie thought this was a good idea, so he wouldn't have to refuse.

Zhuang Aimin held a special meeting to set the tone for this matter. In the future, if anyone wanted to get something for free, he could simply blame it on Zhuang Aimin. If anyone was unhappy, they could come to this powerful official themselves; it was none of his business anyway.

After the meeting, Zhuang Aimin asked Zeng Wenjie to come to his office.

Taking the cigarette offered by Zhuang Aimin, Zeng Wenjie took a puff and said happily, "Senior brother, your idea is great. It can bring a lot of investment to our province!"

Zhuang Aimin shook his head and said, "If it weren't for you, how could we have had this opportunity?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "I hadn't thought of that before, which proves that you, senior brother, are the real 'brilliant idea'!"

Zeng Wenjie is best at being a simp.

Zhuang Aimin smiled and said, "The integration of the nation with the world, great! We've finally found a way! What do you think we should focus on next?"

Zeng Wenjie humbly replied, "These are all things that you, senior brother, should handle. I wouldn't dare to speak carelessly. However, I think the future lies in the internet, so you might as well think more about it."

Zhuang Aimin seemed to be deep in thought, and Zeng Wenjie suggested, "For example, build a database or something."

Apple's data will be stored in Chongshan in the future.

Now that the fourth generation of the iPhone has not yet been released and is not yet so popular, it is perfectly feasible to plan ahead.

Zeng Wenjie only pointed out a vague general direction. As for how to implement it, that was Zhuang Aimin's business. He didn't think he had the ability to guide a high-ranking official.

"When does Hao You Lai plan to expand? I've noticed that this brand has an excellent reputation; locals rave about it, and there are countless customers shopping there every day," Zhuang Aimin said.

Zeng Wenjie said, "Fengzhou is the capital of Chongshan Province, right under the nose of the provincial government, so no one dares to trip me up. But it's not necessarily the same in other places. In addition, I have offended too many people, so the pace of expansion must be slowed down."

Zeng Wenjie was certain that once he left Fengzhou, he would inevitably encounter great resistance.

Zhuang Aimin thought about it and realized that it made sense.

Zeng Wenjie's existence has undoubtedly benefited the working class, but it has also harmed the interests of capitalists, who see him as a thorn in their side.

The main problem is that netizens also like to stir things up. Whenever a company makes headlines for things like unpaid wages or unpaid overtime, netizens all tag Zeng Wenjie in the comments.

Zeng Wenjie's expansion plans might be welcomed by the locals, but local capitalists and officials may not.

Therefore, the current approach is to follow DL's example, steadily develop in the base area for a few years, and then expand outwards once sufficient foundation is laid.

Otherwise, if the company fails due to various adverse factors, it will affect the overall value of the company and the investors' evaluation of the company.

Why do a business that's clearly likely to lose money?

Zhuang Aimin said, "You're young, you started early, and you've moved too fast. You should take some time to mature. Besides, you're already in a rush with your snacks that have gone nationwide, but there's no need to rush the rest. Most importantly, Game Science is already earning foreign exchange, which is a remarkable achievement."

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "Marinia is also earning foreign exchange. Although she doesn't earn as much as Game Science, I already have a strategy, and this year's foreign exchange income will multiply several times."

He has already contacted people in Paris and spent a considerable amount of euros to ensure that Marleneja can appear at the Paris Fashion Week.

And Marleneia certainly lived up to expectations; her designs were so striking that they amazed designers from abroad, especially those from top luxury brands like Valentino and YSL, who had an "aha!" moment after seeing them…

So, after investing the money, there was little resistance.

After the fashion show, we expect to receive even more orders from overseas.

After the meeting, Zeng Wenjie went back to Fengyuan. He had a legitimate reason not to go to the company today, so why would he go back after the meeting?
When Zheng Shouyun heard that he was going to attend a provincial government meeting, he didn't say anything more. Otherwise, if he saw him slacking off, he would probably scold him again.

Zeng Wenjie has been keeping a low profile lately, so there aren't many reporters staking out his school anymore, which makes him feel much more relaxed.

He went straight to the martial arts club's activity room and saw Mu Qingyang dressed in martial arts attire, teaching the club members.

She mainly teaches jujitsu techniques, which is also her specialty.

Among the members was a freshman, a tall and handsome boy who had participated in a fairly large competition in Hong Kong and won the championship in the youth group. His name was Liu Jucheng.

When he first entered Fengyuan, he heard all sorts of legends about Zeng Wenjie, including the classic story of Zeng Wenjie and Ye Qiansheng's bloody battle at the KTV, a 2v13 situation.

He had his own opinion on this, perhaps because Ye Qiansheng's fighting power was off the charts, and Zeng Wenjie just won by default.

Upon seeing Zeng Wenjie, Liu Jucheng immediately approached him and said, "Senior, I heard you got into a fight at the KTV, and you were bleeding from your head. You and two of you took down thirteen people on the other side."

Zeng Wenjie glanced at him and said, "If you hadn't brought it up, I would have almost forgotten about it."

Liu Jucheng threw a pair of boxing gloves at his feet and said, "My name is Liu Jucheng, a member of the martial arts club. I'd like to spar with you, senior, who is a master. You wouldn't object, would you?"

Zeng Wenjie was taken aback and raised an eyebrow.

Freshmen are indeed unruly; even after a semester has passed, they're still acting all high and mighty.

Mu Qingyang couldn't help but look over, and many others also turned their attention to Zeng Wenjie.

Liu Jucheng was eighteen years old and full of youthful vigor. In addition, Mu Qingyang was a member of the martial arts club, so he had the idea of ​​challenging Zeng Wenjie in front of Mu Qingyang.

Zeng Wenjie glanced at the boxing gloves on his feet, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Do you believe I can take you down without lifting a finger?"

Liu Jucheng was taken aback upon hearing this and said, "I don't believe it!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Fine, you don't believe me, right? Then I'll make you believe me right now."

As he spoke, he shouted to the members watching the play, "You all subdue him. Anyone who is willing to participate will be rewarded with two hundred yuan."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jucheng was stunned on the spot.

Upon hearing this, the villagers' eyes lit up with greed, and immediately more than a dozen of them pounced on them like wolves.

Liu Jucheng was instantly submerged in the vast ocean of people's war.

"You are despicable..."

Faintly, Zeng Wenjie could still hear Liu Jucheng shouting there, followed by a series of cries of pain.

With more than a dozen people swarming him, how could he possibly resist?

"Hehe, Boss Zeng, we've subdued him. What do you say?" Liu Jucheng was dragged by his hands and feet, lying on the ground like a toad, his face full of helplessness and resentment.

Zeng Wenjie glanced at him with a smile and asked, "You think you're so good at fighting? What good is being good at fighting! In this world, you need power and connections... Don't slap me."

Mu Qingyang ran up, both amused and exasperated, and said, "You're causing trouble again!" Zeng Wenjie replied, "This junior wanted to challenge me, but I activated my money power."

Mu Qingyang asked, "What superpower?"

“Extremely rich.” Zeng Wenjie said with a serious expression.

Zeng Wenjie has always been someone who is willing to compete with centenarians in strength, barbarians in skill, blind people in eyesight, and deaf people in hearing.

Why resort to physical force when money can solve the problem?
Liu Jucheng said unwillingly, "Senior, your victory is not honorable. If you have the ability, fight me in a real match."

Zeng Wenjie retorted, "But I earned all my money through hard work and real battles. Now I'm using it against you, how can you say my victory is unfair?"

His sophistry left Liu Jucheng speechless.

Mu Qingyang laughed and said, "Alright, let him go now!"

Liu Jucheng regained his freedom, got up from the ground, and looked at Zeng Wenjie with eyes full of resentment and disdain.

Zeng Wenjie took out his wallet and distributed money to each of the commune members who had just contributed their labor.

"This punch, with the power of two hundred yuan, can you withstand it?" Zeng Wenjie asked in a flirtatious tone.

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this. This is why they like Zeng Wenjie – he's down-to-earth and loves to joke around with everyone.

Liu Jucheng went straight to Mu Qingyang and said, "Senior, I'm not reconciled!"

Mu Qingyang glanced at him and said, "Then you should just ambush him."

"Is it possible?" Liu Jucheng asked. If he launched a sneak attack, Zeng Wenjie would be furious and would then engage in a contest with him.
Young men are always full of immature and eccentric ideas.

Mu Qingyang said seriously, "Okay, but you also need to be prepared to be expelled from school."

Liu Jucheng's lips twitched, speechless.

After Zeng Wenjie finished distributing the money, he didn't disturb the martial arts club's activities and sat down to the side. Mu Qingyang also walked over and sat down next to him to watch the club members spar.

"The martial arts club is quite energetic!" Zeng Wenjie said.

"Yes, yes, yes." Mu Qingyang nodded happily.

Zeng Wenjie said, "That little brother must like you, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of challenging me."

Mu Qingyang was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Who wouldn't like Mu Qingyang?!"

Zeng Wenjie was surprised. He reached out and pressed her head, saying, "Oh, you're getting more and more narcissistic. I'm actually starting to miss the humble you."

Mu Qingyang rested his chin on his hand, his eyes shining, and said softly, "I did that on purpose, so that I could arouse your protective instincts towards me, do you understand?"

After sitting with Zeng Wenjie for a while, Mu Qingyang went to participate in the activities.

Zeng Wenjie sat quietly watching her. His soul was weathered by time, but looking at Mu Qingyang's radiant demeanor, he felt as if he were still a young student.

Then, Yao Na, the president of the club from the neighboring school, arrived.

"Xiao Mu, I'm here!" Yao Na called out excitedly as soon as she arrived.

Not long after Zhu Feiming graduated, Yao Na broke up with him; love during student days is bound to be no match for harsh reality.

After a period of depression, Yao Na suddenly realized the terrifying pressure faced by recent graduates!
As a result, she began to see Mu Qingyang more frequently.

The reason for this was, of course, for the sake of the future; otherwise, she might not have made a special trip to Baishui Town to visit Mu Qingyang last summer.

Now in her final semester of senior year, graduation is fast approaching, and she feels a bit apprehensive about her future.

After chatting with Mu Qingyang for a few minutes, Yao Na saw Zeng Wenjie and her eyes lit up. She immediately jumped up to greet him.

"One of the Ten Outstanding Young Persons, it's been a long time! It's rare to see you at school," Yao Na said.

"Hello, Yao Na!" Zeng Wenjie greeted her with a smile. "Last time you visited my hometown, I happened to be busy and couldn't entertain you."

Yao Na laughed and said, "It's okay, I had a lot of fun with Xiao Mu during the summer vacation."

During his summer vacation in the countryside, Mu Qingyang went wild. He often took Yao Na to the streams to catch crabs, fish, and shrimp, and to the fields to catch loaches and snails. Every now and then, they would take a bus to the county town to play chess with the old men and win a lot of pocket money. They were very happy.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Zeng Wenjie, she was invited by Mu Qingyang to spar.

Watching two beautiful girls fight is quite interesting, and Zeng Wenjie watched with great interest.

"I'd like Yao Na to have dinner with us, is that alright?" Mu Qingyang asked, pulling Yao Na over.

"As long as you're happy," Zeng Wenjie said.

So, Mu Qingyang treated everyone to tofu and grilled fish outside the school. This tofu and grilled fish restaurant was very good, with plenty of small red chilies, and the spicy sauce made by the restaurant was extremely fragrant, so Mu Qingyang frequented it.

Mu Qingyang, who used to be so spicy that tears would stream down her face from her grandfather's stir-fried beef broth, is now a champion at eating spicy food.

If she were to return to Tiannan at her current level, she could easily defeat a large number of Tiannan spicy kings.

While eating grilled fish, Zeng Wenjie asked proactively, "Yao Na, have you found a job after graduation?"

Yao Na was taken aback and said, "No, I'm under a lot of pressure. I'm even thinking of working at Fu Qianzhu's sports complex for a while before I decide to go back to work."

Zeng Wenjie said, "How about this, my foundation is short-staffed, and your expertise is a perfect fit for the job. If you can't find a suitable job, come and try working at my foundation."

Yao Na's eyes lit up. She raised her glass full of drinks and asked, "Mr. Zeng, you're not joking, are you? I'm serious!"

Zeng Wenjie nodded slightly and said, "Of course I'm not joking, but you still have to do your job well."

Yao Na said, "I will definitely use all the knowledge I have acquired in my life!"

Yao Na and Mu Qingyang have a good relationship and get along well. As for the foundation, although Mu Qingyang is the chairman, he basically doesn't manage anything, except for occasionally attending public events and cooperating with media interviews.

Yao Na's major is quite suitable for working in a foundation.

Zeng Wenjie is a shrewd man, so of course he could see through Yao Na's thoughts. Moreover, he thought this girl was quite nice; she was the straightforward type, and because she practiced martial arts, she also had a bit of a chivalrous spirit.

Most importantly, she was quite considerate of Mu Qingyang, and her most ulterior motives were probably just about finding him a job.

“Xiao Mu is the chairperson. If you don’t do your job well, she can fire you anytime,” Zeng Wenjie said with a laugh.

Mu Qingyang said happily, "Yes, Yao Na, I am the chairman! From now on, when you see me, you must respectfully call me Chairman Mu."

Yao Na rolled her eyes and said, "I didn't realize you had such a strong desire for power, Xiao Mu!"

"As for the salary, it's based on Marlenia's benefits. If you can accept that, you can start as an intern. Once you graduate and get your certificate, you'll be able to become a full-time employee," Zeng Wenjie said.

"Great! I'll work at your foundation. Not only will I earn a salary, but I can also spar with Xiao Mu every day! Hehe!" Yao Na said happily.

After finishing her meal, Yao Na returned to Chongqing University, feeling as if a weight had been lifted from her heart.

Mu Qingyang glanced at Zeng Wenjie and said sharply, "You made these arrangements because of me, didn't you?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "The foundation is short of people, and Yao Na is a top student from Chongqing University, so it's quite suitable to recruit her."

Mu Qingyang thought for a moment and said, "Don't let my actions affect your work."

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "No, if she doesn't do a good job, she should be fired. We should keep public and private matters separate!"

Mu Qingyang was quite happy that Zeng Wenjie was giving her friend a chance. Yao Na was one of her few friends outside of school. Thinking that after graduation, they would go their separate ways and it would be difficult to see each other again, she felt a little sad.

Now that Zeng Wenjie has hired her to work at the foundation, we can see each other more often.

"I still remember where I came from. When the company is short of staff, we will give priority to graduates from Feng Shui College, and then to graduates from Chongqing University," Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

Although Principal Mo is the principal of Chongqing University, he has been quite supportive of Zeng Wenjie, so it is only natural that he should reciprocate.

Moreover, there is no competition between Fengyuan and Chongqing University; at most, it's just that the two former presidents are trying to show off and annoy each other.

The next day, Zeng Wenjie arrived at Game Science on time.

Zheng Shouyun had arrived long ago and was sitting not far from the time clock.

This is his habit.

General Manager Zheng is known in the company for his strict separation of public and private matters and his bad temper, so the employees are all quite afraid of him. They are very punctual in clocking in every day, and almost no one is late.

Traffic jams in Fengzhou are as bad as a large sparrow in America, but almost everyone at Game Science is on time for a game.

Zeng Wenjie chuckled and patted Zheng Shouyun on the shoulder, asking, "Why are you so serious?"

Zheng Shouyun said, "How can we not be serious? WG has been targeted overseas recently, and various game platforms are lowering the prices of the games on their platforms... Our contracts with the manufacturers haven't reached their due date yet, so we can't lower the prices."

Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. We're a new platform, and they're an old one. It's already pretty good that we've gained a group of die-hard fans with Hollow Knight. When Dark Souls comes out, I'll beat those stupid foreigners to a pulp."

“Your expectations for Dark Souls are a bit too high, but I still have reservations! Players are used to nanny-style tutorials, but Dark Souls has practically no guidance, and its difficulty is even greater than Hollow Knight's... Putting a high-difficulty boss at the entrance at the start is too much!” Zheng Shouyun said with a serious expression.

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "Games are not just for entertaining people. They are also meant to teach players the importance of not being afraid of difficulties and to help them achieve a sense of accomplishment in overcoming all obstacles."

He vividly remembers the feeling when he played "Black Myth: Wukong". When he got to the last chapter, Erlang Shen, the opponent had a dazzling array of special effects, while he could only roll around like an idiot. It was torture.

But the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction after playing for a whole day and night, until I got up the next morning and died three times before finally beating the game, was even more satisfying than C13!

If Zeng Wenjie wants Dark Souls to become an instant hit and break into the mainstream, then he definitely can't let Miyazaki Hidetaka have complete freedom to create and follow the path of Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls 3.

He also directly intervened in the game's development, incorporating the best features and gameplay elements of Souls games, including cleverly designed miniature garden maps, fragmented narratives, epic boss battles, an excellent weapon system, and a precise progression system...

This Dark Souls game, which will be released in 2009, features Tseng Wen-chieh bringing Gundyr, the opening boss from Dark Souls 3, into the game. As for the story background and main plot, that was left to Hidetaka Miyazaki to develop.

Only Hidetaka Miyazaki could create such mysterious, dark, and epic stories; other game developers, including Feng Ji, couldn't do it.

Zheng Shouyun complained, "This is fucking bizarre. If Hollow Knight hadn't been such a huge success, I definitely wouldn't have supported this project!"

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "Today we should be able to experience our first BOSS battle."

Zheng Shouyun sneered, "I'll see how you get tortured first."

He simply didn't believe that Zeng Wenjie would still be spouting such nonsense even after dying dozens or hundreds of times.

Once all the employees had arrived, Zeng Wenjie began the first hands-on trial in front of them.

There's still a lot of work to be done, but the character animation system is complete, and the boss Gundyr, designated by Zeng Wenjie, has also been created.

The soundtrack and scene modeling weren't done yet; it was just a rather rough BOSS battle, with the boss experiencing the game's action system.
