Chapter 160: Giving an Interview, the Fish Takes the Bait

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Giving an Interview, the Fish Takes the Bait

Meanwhile.

Yang Qingqing had just received an assignment from the magazine’s office.

They wanted her to try and persuade Lin Feng.

Seeing his sister’s helpless expression, Yang Qiniang said while munching on an apple, "You should just give up on this assignment!"

"Brother Feng really thinks it’s a waste of time!"

Yang Qingqing sighed and said, "But the professor in charge is really eager for the interview... I’ll give it a try first!"

「During this time.」

Yang Qingqing was constantly sending Lin Feng messages.

Touting all the benefits of being in the university publication.

Unfortunately, Lin Feng truly wasn’t interested in the matter.

After hitting a wall so many times, Yang Qingqing was starting to feel discouraged.

"This is the content from the ’Figures of the Year’ section of the university publication for the last ten years..."

"Brother Feng, just take a look when you have a moment..."

Yang Qingqing was like someone making a last-ditch effort.

Lin Feng glanced at the document she had compiled and gave it a quick skim.

The university publication was indeed well-made.

From a quick glance, the quality seemed pretty good too.

But what caught and held Lin Feng’s attention the most were the people who had been interviewed in this collection.

Basically, every single person’s introduction was very impressive.

Lin Feng even spotted some big names from the world of finance among them.

"Oh? These people..."

Reading the personal accounts of the people in the magazine, Lin Feng paused for a moment as an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

The reason Lin Feng hadn’t wanted to do the interview was that he felt it was a waste of time with no useful returns.

But upon seeing the people who had been interviewed, Lin Feng changed his mind.

This university publication showed Lin Feng the potential for connections.

He could see from their interviews that back when these big shots were students, they had all looked up to the figures featured in the publication.

They treated the people in the publication as role models...

This made Lin Feng realize that participating in the interview wasn’t entirely pointless...

In Lin Feng’s eyes, the students of Yang City University were, in fact, a hidden treasure trove.

These students were the fresh blood of society’s future.

Moreover, as far as Lin Feng was concerned, if these students admired him, he could screen them later and have them join his investment company.

This was a reserve pool of one talented individual after another!

Thinking of this, Lin Feng suddenly recalled what Yang Qiniang had said before.

The people who made it into the university publication were basically already famous figures or industry titans.

This was, in effect, another hidden network for Lin Feng.

After all, some successful alumni also had the habit of reading the university publication.

With that in mind, Lin Feng no longer felt that doing the interview for the university publication was such a waste of time.

At the very least, it could bring him tangible benefits.

Just as Lin Feng was pondering this, he saw a pitiful-looking sticker that Yang Qingqing had sent:

"Brother Feng, please just do the interview!"

"We promise it won’t interfere with any of your business!"

In truth, Yang Qingqing had already been on the verge of giving up.

But the magazine office still didn’t want to.

That was why Yang Qingqing had asked again, without much hope.

She hadn’t really expected a response.

But to her surprise, Lin Feng actually replied: "Okay."

Yang Qingqing immediately leaped up from her bed.

"Oh my god! Brother Feng agreed?"

In her eyes, Lin Feng was an extremely strong-willed person, so the idea that he could be persuaded by just a few words from her... was practically impossible.

’He must have decided on his own to accept the interview.’

Now that she had Lin Feng’s permission, Yang Qingqing immediately relayed the news to the professor at the magazine office.

At the same time, she also started to briefly explain the process to Lin Feng.

"It actually won’t take long, half an hour at most, and the questions won’t be out of line!"

"We just want to get a general idea of your entrepreneurial journey, Brother Feng!"

Yang Qingqing explained in a rush, terrified that Lin Feng might go back on his word.

But since Lin Feng had decided to agree, he naturally wouldn’t back out.

"You guys handle the specific arrangements. I’ll make time to cooperate with the magazine’s interview!"

After agreeing, Lin Feng sent over his availability.

In reality, the people who knew Lin Feng, including Yang Qingqing, all hoped he would be featured in the university publication.

For one, it would increase his fame; for another, it was a matter of prestige.

Yang Qingqing, especially, who had been put in charge of this matter by the professor, let out a long sigh of relief after learning of Lin Feng’s change of heart.

"Okay then, Brother Feng, I’ll let you know if there are any updates."

Yang Qingqing felt like she had come back to life, full of energy.

As long as the timing didn’t conflict with his other matters, Lin Feng had no objections.

During this period, Lin Feng maintained a routine, shuttling between his company and the university.

However, after some time and effort, certain other matters were finally showing progress.

Yang Qiniang had just rushed over to the company from the university when he saw Lin Feng grabbing his car keys, about to head out.

"Brother Feng, are you heading back to the dorm?"

Yang Qiniang asked curiously.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I have something else to attend to. You can get back to work."

With that, he immediately drove off to a location.

It was the Yangcheng Shangri-La Hotel.

A very high-class establishment, one might say.

And standing at the entrance of this grand hotel was someone waiting for Lin Feng.

The person waiting for Lin Feng at the entrance was none other than Huizi, dressed in professional office attire.

Standing next to Huizi was a middle-aged man with a constant smile on his face.

"President Lin, this is the project manager for Joy City I told you about, Li Cheng."

Huizi smiled as she introduced the man beside her to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng understood immediately. This was the fish that had been lured by the bait.

Over the past while, Li Cheng had finally managed to get on good terms with Huizi.

He had also taken the initiative to give Huizi all the relevant paperwork and permits for the Joy City project to review.

Huizi, however, maintained a hesitant attitude.

Whenever Li Cheng pressed her, she would make excuses, claiming the company was still uneasy about the project.

Li Cheng was so anxious he was like an ant on a hot pan.

Left with no other choice, he had started giving Huizi gifts in private.

The first time Huizi received a gift from Li Cheng, she was a bit hesitant.

However, when Lin Feng found out, he told her without a second thought to just accept it.

Just in the past two days, after she had accepted a number of gifts, Huizi’s tone had finally started to soften.

On his end, Li Cheng had been pushed to his limit.

If construction didn’t start soon, he would lose all his workers.

By then, it would truly be a case of the guests leaving and the tea growing cold.

Huizi had already said she could approve some investment funds for Li Cheng.

But the final decision still required the boss to personally review it.

Li Cheng was also exceptionally perceptive.

Without a word, he directly booked a banquet at the grand hotel.

It was specifically to host a dinner for Lin Feng.

Ultimately, he just hoped the investment funds could be disbursed smoothly.

When Li Cheng met Lin Feng, he never expected the boss behind this investment firm to be so young.

One could say he was a young and promising talent.

Most importantly, Lin Feng didn’t look very old, which made Li Cheng feel a bit more at ease.

’At least, compared to dealing with those old, cunning foxes, dealing with an impulsive young man like Lin Feng should be much easier.’
