"Vice Town Chief Qin, investment attraction for Mingshan Town is a major event. I don't have the qualifications to offer an opinion," Chen Feng replied softly.
"I say you are qualified, then you are qualified," Qin Yan said with a solemn expression.
"Since that's the case, Vice Town Chief Qin, then I will gladly accept. I feel that the key to successful investment attraction is to tailor the approach to the specific situation." Chen Feng observed Qin Yan's expression as he spoke.
Serving a ruler is like accompanying a tiger; similarly, accompanying a leader is like being with a tiger. One must be observant and absolutely not drone on incessantly when the leader is upset.
"Continue." Qin Yan's expression softened slightly. She was very satisfied with Chen Feng's cautious response.
"Specifically for Mingshan Town, I believe the most famous aspect of Mingshan Town is the clothing industry. Eighty percent of the Mingshan Town Industrial Zone is involved in the clothing industry, and the industrial chain is very complete. Therefore, I suggest..." Chen Feng paused again to look at Qin Yan.
"Keep talking." Qin Yan nodded slightly.
"So, this time at the Provincial Trade Fair, we should head straight for the clothing company booths. That would be correct."
"Chen Feng, what was your major in university?" Qin Yan asked with curiosity. To be honest, Chen Feng's insights were absolutely spot on.
"Computer Science." Chen Feng replied awkwardly. Frankly, not to mention others, even he felt it was somewhat inexplicable and unreliable for a computer science graduate to be driving for a leader.
"Computer Science, a very good major, why..." Qin Yan asked with interest.
"Vice Town Chief Qin, ah, it's hard to explain. The main reason is that there are too many university students now. A good major is useless if the school isn't good. I've interviewed many times, but as soon as they heard I graduated from Jiangcheng University of Technology, there was no further progress." Chen Feng's face turned slightly red.
Alas, it was embarrassing. If only he had had a good homeroom teacher in high school. His high school homeroom teacher managed the class disastrously. It was already a town high school, and the class discipline was poor, which completely ruined it. If he hadn't had a little talent, he might not even have gotten into a vocational college. Out of over fifty students in the class, he was the only one who got into a bachelor's program; the rest went to vocational colleges, or didn't even make that.
"Yes, that's true. Jiangcheng University of Technology is a rather ordinary school, and it's not in high demand after graduation. It's normal. But it doesn't matter, you're quite sharp. Follow me and work hard, and I guarantee you'll be no worse than graduates from key universities in the future." Qin Yan said with admiration.
To be honest, even if Chen Feng were only a vocational college graduate, she wouldn't discriminate. Chen Feng was very sharp, knew how to handle things, and had strong learning abilities, which were more valuable than a diploma from a key university. Emotional intelligence is always more important than IQ!
"By the way, since you studied computer science, how do you understand economic matters so well?" Qin Yan asked with interest.
"It's mainly because I worked part-time during university and met some small business owners. Through osmosis, I learned a little bit." Chen Feng explained humbly.
"I see. In that case, you should go back to the hotel to rest first. I'll handle things here." Qin Yan's expression turned solemn again.
Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, but still turned and left the provincial trade fair hall. After thinking for a long time outside, Chen Feng finally understood why Qin Yan didn't want him to stay by her side. It was likely because she didn't want him to learn her investment attraction strategies. From this point of view, Qin Yan was truly an extraordinary woman. Capable and meticulous! Anyone who thought Qin Yan was just a woman with long hair and short insight would suffer greatly.
Chen Feng understood Qin Yan's actions. He had only been Qin Yan's driver for a short time, not yet reaching the level of a trusted confidant. Since he wasn't a confidant, it was natural for her to be wary. With this realization, Chen Feng didn't waste any more time and returned to the hotel to rest.
After sleeping for a day, and still seeing no sign of Qin Yan returning, Chen Feng became a little worried, wondering if something had happened to her. Just as he was thinking of going to the provincial trade fair to check, his uncle Chen Tao suddenly called.
"Xiao Feng, you're amazing, kid." Chen Tao started excitedly.
"Uncle, what do you mean?" Chen Feng was a little confused. Was sleeping for a day in the provincial capital worthy of such praise?
"I heard from others that Mingshan Town attracted a huge investment from a provincial clothing company today. I thought, weren't you at the provincial trade fair with Qin Yan for investment attraction today? Since you were recruiting together, you must have contributed a lot..." Chen Tao said excitedly.
"Uncle, I wish that were the case. But actually, it's not. All day today, Vice Town Chief Qin just had me rest at the hotel..." Chen Feng gave a bitter smile.
"What? Qin Yan didn't have you go? How is that possible? Aren't you her dedicated driver?"
"Uncle, if you were Vice Town Chief Qin, would you be willing to share the credit with a driver who's been here for less than a month?"
"Hmm, I was thinking too simply. But don't be discouraged. Good things take time, especially in the political arena. Without years of tempering, you won't truly grasp the nuances. I must remind you, don't become demotivated because of this. On the contrary, you should be even more proactive and let Qin Yan feel your diligence and composure." Chen Tao said earnestly.
"I understand, Uncle. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
"Don't hang up, there's one more thing I must tell you so you can prepare." Chen Tao said excitedly.
"What is it?" Chen Feng asked doubtfully.
"I have a former student who is now a top official in the town next to Mingshan Town. Their Education Bureau is recruiting several high school teachers. I thought you could prepare for both possibilities: secretly apply for the position of high school teacher in the neighboring town, and continue to work diligently for Qin Yan. Whichever path has a better future, go for it..." Chen Tao said earnestly.
"Uncle, I don't want to apply for a high school teacher position in the neighboring town." Chen Feng replied without hesitation. If it were during university, he would have chosen to apply for a high school teacher position without a second thought. After all, being a high school teacher was a stable job in the public sector. However, since he came to Mingshan Town to drive for Qin Yan, his horizons had broadened, and his inner ambitions had been awakened. As an ambitious young man, he had to make great achievements in the political arena. Being a high school teacher had too limited a life scope. Currently, driving for a female leader was just the beginning, not the final outcome.
"Xiao Feng, are you crazy? Didn't I tell you? My student is a top official in the neighboring town. You're not stupid. The written exam should be very easy for you. I'll also put in a word with my student, so your chances of becoming a high school teacher are very high." Chen Tao questioned with disbelief.
Has this kid Chen Feng gone crazy from being a driver? Nowadays, teachers, especially high school teachers, are highly sought-after positions! A teacher's official status could easily fetch over a hundred thousand in the black market, yet Chen Feng refused! He's gone mad, absolutely mad!
