Chapter 292 Daughter, you've finally figured it out?! Preparing to record an interview.

The situation over on Lin Hong's side was much the same; her father answered the phone.

"Dad, I want to ask you something..." Lin Hong had a straightforward personality and didn't bother with much preamble. "What do you think of Jiang Jing?"

"Jiang Jing? That goes without saying! A pillar of the nation! A model for the youth! Many of the old guys in our military region give him a thumbs up whenever they mention him." Lins Father's voice was loud and resonant, full of admiration.

"Then... what if he has designs on your daughter?" Lin Hong asked, steeling herself.

"What?!" Lins Father paused for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter.

"Hahaha! That's a good thing! Daughter, have you finally seen the light?"

"If you can actually make it work with that kid Jiang Jing, I'd be proud! It just shows how outstanding my daughter is!"

Lin Hong stomped her foot in anger. "Dad! He's a playboy! He has tons of girlfriends!"

"Bah!" Lins Father dismissed it. "Which capable man doesn't have a few romantic entanglements? What matters is that he takes responsibility!"

"Look at the things he's created; every one of them benefits the country and the people. That shows his core is upright!"

"So what if he's a bit of a playboy? It's still better than those who are incompetent and only bully their own! Besides..."

Lins Father lowered his voice, sounding a bit mysterious. "Daughter, do you know how many connections your grandfather had to pull and how much effort he spent just to get you into this security team?"

"Why? It was because he saw that you're skilled and look decent, and he was wondering if... hehe, you know, the convenience of being close to the action!"

"Now the opportunity is here, you have to seize it. Don't act all coy and petty!"

Listening to her father's undisguised plan, Lin Hong curled her lip and swung her fists at the air a few times.

But deep down, she knew her father was speaking the truth.

They knew better than anyone just how important Jiang Jing was.

It was just... understanding it was one thing, but being annoyed was another!

After finishing the two calls, Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong looked at each other. Both could read the same expression in the other's silence—a mixture of laughter and tears at having been sold out by their families.

Their families' attitudes were perfectly synchronized—full support, one could even say they were happy to see it happen.

They even took the opportunity to brainwash them a bit.

If Jiang Jing knew the content of these two calls, he would probably be grinning from ear to ear.

He would sincerely exclaim: "When it comes to support, I, Jiang Jing, am willing to call you the strongest!"

Just as the two women were complexly digesting what their families had said, time quietly slipped by, and it was soon afternoon.

Outside the suite door, Jiang Jing's clear voice rang out: "Two captains, get ready; it's time for us to go."

Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong took a deep breath, trying hard to smooth out the unnatural expressions on their faces, tidied up their appearance, and opened the door.

Jiang Jing looked at them; although they were trying their best to hide it, a trace of embarrassment and complexity remained in their eyes. He chuckled inwardly but kept a straight face. "Let's go."

The two women gave a low response and followed silently behind him.

The group left the hotel and headed to the agreed-upon interview location.

The vehicle pulled up smoothly in front of the CCTV headquarters building in the Imperial Capital.

As the Finance Channel under CCTV, it naturally operated within this magnificent building.

As soon as Jiang Jing got out of the car, a group of people who had been waiting at the entrance greeted him warmly.

The woman leading them was none other than Yan Shuyao.

Today, she was wearing a well-tailored light gray professional suit that looked both dignified and soft. Her hair was pulled up, revealing her smooth forehead and slender neck.

That unique intellectual aura was even more intense than before. She wore delicate, light makeup, and her smile was gentle and moving.

"Academician Jiang, welcome!" Yan Shuyao stepped forward quickly, extending her slender hand. Her tone carried sincere joy and a trace of imperceptible excitement.

Jiang Jing smiled and took her hand; it felt warm, soft, and delicate.

He looked openly at the mature beauty before him and teased her in a familiar tone: "Great Host Yan, long time no see. You look even more elegant than before."

"You flatter me." Yan Shuyao felt a bit embarrassed by his gaze and lowered her eyelids slightly.

A faint blush appeared on her cheeks, but the smile at the corners of her mouth deepened. "It is my honor to be able to interview you again."

Following behind Jiang Jing, Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong watched the naturally familiar atmosphere between Jiang Jing and the intellectual beauty host. They exchanged a look, and the same thought occurred to both of them simultaneously:

As expected!

No wonder this guy agreed to the interview so readily; it turns out this was the root cause.

This old pervert really came for the beauty of Host Yan.

The two women couldn't help but mentally label Jiang Jing with "lecherous" and "shameless" again; they almost rolled their eyes to the heavens.

Their "all-seeing" gazes fell onto Jiang Jing's back like a physical weight.

Jiang Jing, as if he had eyes on the back of his head, clearly felt those two "scorching" gazes.

But he wasn't flustered at all. He didn't even pause his steps, and his face still wore that calm, collected (thick-skinned) smile.

That's right!

I came precisely because of the beautiful Yan! What are you going to do about it!

The completely unashamed look on his face fully demonstrated his strong inner fortitude.

Or rather, his thick skin, which had been tempered through thousands of trials and was already impervious to swords and spears.

The group chatted as they walked into the building and arrived at the specially prepared interview room.

The lighting and camera equipment were already set up, and the atmosphere was professional and rigorous.

At this moment, the director of the Finance Channel also appeared in person.

He was a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and a sharp, capable air. As soon as he saw Jiang Jing, he immediately reached out his hands warmly to greet him:

"Academician Jiang, I am Director Wang of the Finance Channel. Thank you very much for accepting our interview despite your busy schedule!" His attitude was respectful, as the person before him was the most sought-after figure in the country right now.

Jiang Jing shook his hand and responded humbly: "Director Wang, you are too kind. It is also my honor to be able to come to CCTV for an interview."

"Not at all, not at all!" Director Wang beamed, guided Jiang Jing to sit on the sofa, and began to chat enthusiastically, from the weather in the Imperial Capital to his admiration for Jiang Jing's achievements.

After chatting for a few moments, Director Wang got to the point, saying in a relaxed tone: "Academician Jiang, rest assured, the atmosphere of this interview will be very relaxed."

"It is mainly to ask you to share your entrepreneurial journey, your insights on scientific research, and your expectations for our country's technological development and the younger generation."

"The main goal is to spread positive energy and set an excellent example!"

Jiang Jing understood.

Simply put, they wanted to take advantage of his current popularity to do a positive, inspiring exclusive interview.

It would boost their channel's influence while further consolidating his positive image; it was a win-win.

Jiang Jing didn't mind this kind of "clout chasing" behavior.

Popularity is something that can be shared with anyone, right?

Letting an acquaintance like Yan Shuyao and her platform benefit was better than letting unfamiliar media do it.

So he nodded with a smile, very cooperative: "Director Wang, rest assured, I understand. I will definitely cooperate and strive to achieve good results."

"That's great! With your word, I can rest easy!" Seeing that Jiang Jing was so easy to talk to, Director Wang felt greatly reassured.

After being polite for a few more sentences, he tactfully rose to leave, leaving the space to the interview team.

After Director Wang left, Yan Shuyao took the interview outline and sat opposite Jiang Jing, beginning the final communication before the recording.
