Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 150 Interview with Film Emperor Chen
Hearing Mi Tong ask this, Ruan Bao became even more embarrassed, her face turning red to her ears, and she lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

Of course, we can't blame her for this. After all, we can't expect her to say, "Actually, we just finished, and right now, not only am I not wearing anything under my skirt, but I also have hundreds of millions of dollars stored inside. I'm afraid that if I stand up, these hundreds of millions of dollars will be exposed..."

The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment, but Chen Yan quickly saved the day by saying, "Editor-in-Chief Mi, my girlfriend is a bit shy, so why don't we start?"

"Uh… okay then."

Mi Tong nodded, then followed Chen Yan to the boss's desk.

Chen Yan moved two chairs and placed them opposite the table, gesturing for Mi Tong and Assistant Yang to sit down.

Then he walked around to the boss's chair behind the table and sat down: "Editor-in-Chief Mi, let's begin."

As a professional editor, upon hearing Chen Yan's words, Mi Tong immediately switched to work mode, a professional smile appearing on her face. She straightened her back, focused her gaze, took a voice recorder from her bag, placed it on the table, and began to speak clearly and logically:
"Mr. Chen, as far as I know, you started your business last year when you had only been in college for a short time. Others hadn't even fully adapted to college life yet. How did you come up with the idea of ​​creating a part-time job platform like 'Daily Part-Time Jobs'?"

Chen Yan leaned forward slightly, crossed his arms, and said slowly and deliberately:

"Editor-in-Chief Mi, to be honest, after the college entrance exam, I had a full three months of vacation. I was home alone with nothing to do, so I took on part-time jobs, handing out flyers, tutoring, and waiting tables in restaurants..."

"However, I always have a lot of trouble finding part-time jobs. Either the information is false, or the agency fees are ridiculously high. I've fallen into a lot of traps in the process."

"After entering university, I found that many of my classmates and alumni had similar concerns, and many companies also faced difficulties in short-term employment."

"I was thinking, wouldn't it be great if there were a platform that could integrate scattered part-time job information, making the information transparent, safe and reliable, helping job seekers quickly find suitable part-time jobs, and enabling companies to efficiently solve their short-term staffing needs?"

"The prototype of 'Daily Part-Time Jobs' originated from this."

Mi Tong nodded slightly, giving high approval to Chen Yan's answer, while Assistant Yang quickly jotted down the key points in his notebook.

To be fair, Chen Yan's answer was indeed flawless; it was a very official statement.

Of course, he was just making all this up.

In fact, during the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, he spent his days either playing games or reading novels, and even took the time to get a driver's license.

But so what?
When successful entrepreneurs from later generations write their autobiographies or give interviews, do you think they are telling the truth?

I can tell you responsibly that 50% of it is half true and half false, and the other 50% is pure wishful thinking.

The content and logic of these people's autobiographies are all the same.

First, it was said that when he first started his business, he had no money, no resources, and no connections. On the road to entrepreneurship, he suffered countless losses, shed countless tears, endured countless hardships, and faced bankruptcy countless times. It was only because of his wisdom, skill, and meticulous planning that the company was finally able to turn the tide.

They just keep mythologizing themselves, portraying themselves as incredibly resourceful and strategic, and how they planned every step of the way.

Under the spotlight, they speak eloquently, recounting only embellished stories, presenting the public with a series of inspiring and legendary journeys.

To put it another way, many people's first pot of gold is earned in a shady way. Even if they really wanted to tell you, they wouldn't have the courage to say it out loud!

……

Mi Tong then posed the next question: "The idea sounds great, but there are bound to be many difficulties in the early stages of starting a business. Funding, technology, and promotion are all challenges. What was the most memorable problem for you, and how did you overcome it?"

Chen Yan picked up the conversation, his tone heavy:

"If I had to pick the most memorable thing, it would be the lack of funds."

"In the early stages, platform development, maintenance, and server leasing all cost money. I was trying to secure investment everywhere, but was rejected countless times, and even doubted whether I had chosen the wrong path." "But..."

Chen Yan paused for a moment, then continued, "Fortunately, the school provided me with a lot of help. They not only gave me office space for free, but also waived all my water and electricity bills, which helped me get through the most difficult period..."

At this point, a sincere expression of gratitude appeared on Chen Yan's face, his eyes slightly reddened, and he tilted his head back as if suppressing the surging emotions within him.

He took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Without the school's timely help, there would be no 'daily part-time job' today."

Back then, we had to be extremely frugal, stretching every penny. The team members tightened their belts along with me, but we were all driven by a strong sense of responsibility, determined not to let the school down.

After speaking, Chen Yan raised his hand and gently rubbed his temples, seemingly immersed in memories of those difficult years.

Assistant Yang, who was standing nearby, quickly stopped writing, opened the camera, and recorded this "reminiscence of the past".

Mi Tong listened intently, nodding repeatedly: "President Chen, it's truly remarkable that you've persevered in such a difficult environment and achieved what you have today. Your perseverance and hard work will surely inspire many more entrepreneurs."

Chen Yan smiled modestly and waved his hand: "This is the result of everyone's hard work. No matter how strong one person is, it is limited. Without the unwavering support of the team members and the strong backing of the school, I, Chen Yan, could not have accomplished anything."

After speaking, Chen Yan deliberately posed for the camera lens that was filming, showing off his handsome profile.

what?
You ask why Chen Yan's acting is so good? He just spouts nonsense.

There is nothing special about it, it’s just a matter of practice.

Next, Mi Tong asked Chen Yan about the future development plans of [Daily Part-time Jobs], when the next round of financing would begin, and some questions about the new project [Boss Direct Hire].

……

Time flies, and the hour and a half interview passed in the blink of an eye.

Mi Tong stood up and extended her right hand: "President Chen, thank you for cooperating with us despite your busy schedule. I have a feeling this report will definitely go viral."

Chen Yan warmly shook Mi Tong's hand and said, "Editor-in-Chief Mi, you've been busy for so long, let's have dinner together tonight, it's on me."

Mi Tong shook her head gently, a helpless smile on her face. "Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry. Today's interview was very informative, and I have to rush back to Shenzhen to work overtime to finish the article and present your story and 'Daily Part-Time Job' to our readers as soon as possible. This report is also very important to us, and we can't afford any delays. I'll definitely do you the honor of joining us next time."

Chen Yan nodded slightly and released his hand: "That's a pity. Work is more important. Editor-in-Chief Mi is so dedicated, no wonder she can do so well in the industry. I look forward to your reports. I believe that through your efforts, our platform will be known to more people."

"Mr. Chen, you flatter me. Your entrepreneurial experience is already quite remarkable; I was merely recording it as it was. Today's interview was very pleasant. If there is any additional information that needs to be provided, I will have to trouble you to cooperate further."

Chen Yan laughed heartily, "No problem, Editor-in-Chief Mi can contact me anytime."

Interestingly, when Mi Tong left, the pretty girl who was "too shy to speak" also stood up from the sofa, revealing a sweet smile: "Editor-in-Chief Mi, thank you for your hard work. See you next time!"

"Why isn't she shy anymore?"

Mi Tong was a little puzzled.

Hehe, of course I can't tell you, it's because it's already dried up.
