The following events will not be described in detail.
In short, everything Chen Feng did for Cui Yali using his tools, he did the same for Cheng Lu.
Of course, one was a maiden and the other was not, so the difference in intensity was still quite significant.
It took a full three hours for everything to conclude.
Fortunately, everyone in Mingshan Town was on vacation today; otherwise, it would have been impossible not to be discovered.
"Chen Feng, you're so wicked."
Cheng Lu said, her face flushed red.
Normally, Chen Feng was quite a gentleman, so she never expected him to be so… playful.
It had to be said, Chen Feng was a man of duality.
In matters of the sexes, he was two-faced, being both a gentleman and thrillingly perverse.
In the political arena, he was also two-faced, showing warmth and ruthlessness.
Such a man, both righteous and wicked, she truly loved more and more.
"I apologize. Director Sun and Director Wu have been completely dealt with. I was too happy. When I'm happy, I get carried away."
Chen Feng apologized immediately.
To be honest, he shouldn't have acted on impulse.
His impulse had caused Cheng Lu, a maiden, to experience what it felt like to be a woman prematurely.
The fortunate thing amidst the misfortune was that Cheng Lu didn't seem truly angry.
"Actually, you don't need to apologize. Although what you did was very embarrassing, it was also quite…"
Cheng Lu found it too embarrassing to say the last few words, after all, she was a maiden.
"Since you're not blaming me, let's talk about something serious."
Chen Feng said with a solemn expression.
"Something serious?"
"Yes, Director Sun and Director Wu will definitely not be returning now. Another matter has naturally been put on the agenda."
Chen Feng continued with a solemn expression.
"What is so urgent?"
"Miss Cheng, you should know that Mingshan Town has put in great effort to improve its educational quality, and initial results are already visible. However, there is still one very important matter that has not been finalized. Only when this matter is handled well can Mingshan Town's education truly strengthen."
"Isn't Mingshan Town's education managed by Xiangyu Group? Xiangyu Group is a large-scale educational group in Huachao with extensive experience in educational management. My point is, you can rest assured entrusting the improvement of Mingshan Town's education to Xiangyu Group. Professional matters should be handed over to professional people; there's no problem with that."
Cheng Lu ventured.
"Miss Cheng, you haven't been deeply involved in the education sector, so you might not understand that management is only one aspect of whether an education is good or bad. The most crucial factor is the student source. Mingshan Town's student sources have been bought out by neighboring schools at high prices in recent years. Without excellent students, development will only be mediocre."
"Then what is your meaning?"
Cheng Lu probed.
"My meaning is that if others can buy excellent students at high prices, we can also buy them back at even higher prices."
"That's a great idea, but the problem is, where will the money come from? Mingshan Town's finances are depleted. Even if Xiangyu Group were to provide funds, they wouldn't give a lot. After all, they are a private company and need to consider costs."
Cheng Lu sighed lightly.
"What you've said is indeed a problem. Therefore, I plan to go to the provincial capital. There are many large companies there, and I intend to solicit some sponsorships. A few tens of millions in sponsorship fees is not a large sum for big companies. However, for the students of Mingshan Town, it would be an amount that makes them heart-stirred."
"That's a good idea. In that case, Chen Feng, I'll go to the provincial capital with you. I have a few university classmates in the provincial capital who work in large enterprises. With their help in making connections, the possibility of success is very high."
Cheng Lu said excitedly.
"That's exactly what I was thinking."
Chen Feng replied with a smile.
Thus, Chen Feng drove Cheng Lu to the provincial capital.
"Cheng Lu, I have three classmates, one in a real estate company, one in a mobile phone company, and another in a gaming company. Which company do you think we should approach for sponsorship to be more reliable?"
Cheng Lu asked tentatively.
"The gaming company."
Chen Feng replied without hesitation.
"The gaming company? Chen Feng, are you joking with me? Right now, people are very resistant to gaming companies. Everyone blames games for harming students. How can you expect a gaming company to sponsor education? This idea seems very unreliable."
Cheng Lu felt a bit dizzy.
"Miss Cheng, approaching real estate companies for sponsorship might have been highly possible a few years ago. Today, the possibility is very low. The era of high profits in real estate is over. The mobile phone industry is the same; it's saturated, and it's difficult to get sponsorships."
"If you say that, then it's even harder to get sponsorship from a gaming company. The state strictly regulates minors playing games, and the gaming industry is also in a downturn. How can we get sponsorship?"
Cheng Lu retorted.
"This is just a superficial phenomenon. In reality, the gaming industry is an evergreen industry. Unlike real estate and mobile phones, which will eventually decline, games are different. It's just a matter of game updates and replacements; the gaming industry will not decline. To alleviate parents' resistance to games, it is particularly important for the gaming industry to do some public welfare advertisements. Objectively speaking, games themselves are not wrong; it's the people who play them."
"Chen Feng, your thinking is truly profound. To be honest, I, like everyone else, have always resented games. After your explanation today, I have a new understanding of games. Alright, next, we will go to a provincial gaming company to persuade them to spend tens of millions to do a public welfare advertisement in Mingshan Town, to salvage the reputation of games."
Cheng Lu replied excitedly.
Through Cheng Lu's introduction, Chen Feng met with the Expansion Department Manager of a provincial gaming company.
"Chen Feng, I really agree with your idea. I also believe in your ability to handle matters, after all, someone that my old classmate Cheng Lu admires cannot be a nobody. However, this advertising investment is tens of millions, not tens of thousands, so I definitely need to be cautious. How about this, you prepare an advertising proposal for me to review. If its feasibility is good, I can sign off on the investment."
Manager Liao, Cheng Lu's old classmate, said earnestly.
"Manager Liao, please rest assured. Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, I will deliver the advertising proposal to your hands precisely."
Chen Feng said calmly.
"You can finish the advertising proposal in one night?"
Manager Liao was taken aback.
"It's not a big problem. To be frank, Manager Liao, I've been working in government document writing, so I'm quite adept at handling written matters."
Chen Feng said modestly.
"Then it's settled. Alright, you go back to your hotel room and focus on creating the advertising proposal. I'll catch up with my old classmate."
Manager Liao said, glancing at Cheng Lu beside him.
Cheng Lu originally wanted to refuse, but Chen Feng currently needed Liao Fan's help, so she couldn't let Liao Fan feel too embarrassed.
If Liao Fan wanted to catch up with her as an old classmate, then so be it; it wasn't a big issue.
"Cheng Lu, Chen Feng wasn't here earlier, so there were some things I felt awkward saying. Your father is the top official in Jiangcheng. How did you end up with a deputy town mayor in a small town?"
Liao Fan got straight to the point.
"Liao Fan, you are only my classmate. You don't need to worry about my affairs."
Cheng Lu replied coldly.
If it weren't for the fact that she still needed Liao Fan's help with something, she would have directly cursed him.
"Cheng Lu, I know you don't want to say bad things about Chen Feng. But, I'm not saying bad things; I'm stating facts. His status does not befit you. Also, from the way I saw Chen Feng look at you earlier, he clearly has the look of someone who wants to live off a woman. You are a top graduate of Capital University. Being deceived by such a man is not worth it. How about this, I'll talk to Chen Feng, as long as he doesn't have any more improper thoughts. The advertising investment will proceed as usual."
Liao Fan said earnestly.
