424: Teacher Examination

Wang Ziyan's exclusive interview with Lin Zifeng went very smoothly. Lin Zifeng was highly knowledgeable and answered the questions she had prepared in advance with great ease.

Moreover, he frequently quoted classics and drew inferences from one instance, elevating the art of language to another height.

Of course, Lin Zifeng was an extremely clever and farsighted politician. During the interview, he didn't forget to timely sneak in his own agenda to promote Chunhua City and Yushu City.

He focused on promoting the local humanities, geography, and the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains. The Yingjianzui Scenic Area and the Yushu Film and Television City were also included in his subtle promotion.

This series of actions did not seem out of place during the interview; he handled it with great ease and finesse.

Through the exclusive interview with Lin Zifeng, Wang Ziyan got to know him even better. She hadn't expected the man she fell in love with to be even more outstanding than she had imagined.

Consequently, while Wang Ziyan admired Lin Zifeng even more, the look in her eyes became increasingly filled with infatuation.

After more than an hour, the interview ended. The photographer gave Wang Ziyan an OK gesture and turned off the camera.

Only then did the photographer speak up, "Secretary Lin, Ziyan, the effect of the exclusive interview is perfect. I don't think we even need to edit it after we get back. Once the title is edited, it can be broadcast directly."

"Secretary Lin is so learned and talented, full of witty remarks and humor. It's truly admirable!"

Hearing the photographer's words, Lin Zifeng and Wang Ziyan stood up at the same time. Lin Zifeng stepped forward to shake hands with the photographer and expressed his gratitude.

He then spoke again, "Ziyan, it's been a while since we last met. Now that the official business is finished and you've finally made it to Yushu City, let's sit down, have a cup of tea, and catch up properly!"

"Secretary Lin, you're too polite. Since you're being so hospitable, if I were to refuse, wouldn't I be failing our friendship?"

"It just so happens that our director promised to give me a few days off to relax once the task was completed. I also promised some friends from The Capital that I would spend a few days playing in Yushu City."

"But I have to go downstairs first to explain things to my colleagues. I'll come back to catch up with you in a moment."

Wang Ziyan said generously.

Lin Zifeng nodded and smilingly saw the two of them out the door.

Seeing the three of them walk out of the Office, Ouyang Huahua and Wang Zhongyu gathered around.

Ouyang Huahua said with a smile, "Secretary, did everything go smoothly?"

Lin Zifeng nodded and said, "It went very smoothly. Our Reporter Wang and the photographer are both very professional."

"Minister Ouyang, please help me see them off. Zhongyu, go brew two cups of good tea. I'm going to catch up with a friend later. Unless it's something particularly important, don't disturb our conversation later."

The two of them each agreed. Ouyang Huahua escorted the three downstairs, while Wang Zhongyu turned and walked into Lin Zifeng's Office.

Lin Zifeng returned to the Office, looked at Wang Zhongyu who was brewing tea, and said, "Zhongyu, let me test you. What are your views on this Film and Television City project?"

Lin Zifeng was in a very good mood today, so although he said he was testing Wang Zhongyu, he also intended to give him some guidance.

After all, Wang Zhongyu couldn't be his Secretary for his whole life; sooner or later, he would leave his side to take up a position elsewhere.

As his closest and most trusted Secretary, Lin Zifeng would take every opportunity to guide Wang Zhongyu, laying a solid foundation for his future career.

Wang Zhongyu also understood Lin Zifeng's intention, so whenever such an opportunity arose, he would take it very seriously.

After a moment's thought, Wang Zhongyu spoke up, "Secretary, I feel that the Film and Television City project is of great significance to our Yushu City and even Chunhua City."

"This isn't just an ordinary economic investment project. The development and construction of the Film and Television City not only adds another scenic spot and drives tourism, but also promotes the vigorous development of the humanities and the film and television industry."

"For example, when a film crew comes to the Film and Television City to shoot, besides food, clothing, housing, and transportation, they also need extras and special actors, right?"

"The crew can't possibly bring these groups from elsewhere; they can only recruit them locally."

"In this way, our local people will have another industry to earn money from."

"And as time goes on, it's possible for some stars to emerge from these extras and special actors, which will drive a surge in the study of art."

"The emergence of one industry will create a butterfly effect, giving rise to even more industries."

"This will play a huge role in promoting all aspects of local development."

"Secretary, this is my overall understanding of the Film and Television City project. If there are any deficiencies in my summary, please criticize and correct me."

Seeing the serious Wang Zhongyu, Lin Zifeng nodded with satisfaction. He couldn't help but think that his Secretary's insights had already surpassed those of some township Cadres. It seemed he was progressing quite fast!

Thinking of this, Lin Zifeng intended to increase the difficulty for Wang Zhongyu, so he spoke again, "Zhongyu, I am very satisfied with your summary; you already have great foresight and insight."

"Let me test you again. If you were standing at the height of the Yushu City Municipal Leaders, how would you further promote the work based on local conditions for the Film and Television City project?"

Hearing the new question raised by Lin Zifeng, Wang Zhongyu scratched his head and said somewhat hesitantly, "Secretary, I'm just your Secretary. How could I have the strategic vision of the Municipal Leaders? You'd better not let me make a fool of myself."

"There are no outsiders here. Speak boldly. It doesn't matter if you say it well or poorly; I won't blame you."

Lin Zifeng said very patiently.

Wang Zhongyu then spoke up, "Secretary, I think regarding the Film and Television City project, what our government can currently do—besides assisting the investors in accelerating the pace of development and construction and ensuring quality control—is to work with the investors to promote and generate buzz for the Film and Television City in advance. I can't think of anything else."

Lin Zifeng nodded and said, "Zhongyu! Your thinking is the same as most people's."

Lin Zifeng's "most people" referred to ordinary Municipal Leaders. He first evaluated Wang Zhongyu's line of thought before speaking again, "But you forgot an emerging industry that you just mentioned yourself.

Once the Film and Television City is completed, with Yanran Entertainment Media Company's influence in the entertainment industry, there will certainly be no lack of film crews coming to shoot.

At that time, just as you said, many extras and special actors will be needed.

This industry is bound to rise in our Yushu City. We have anticipated this, and the Film and Television City will take at least nearly two years to be fully completed.

Our government has seized the initiative. Why wouldn't we take advantage of this to do something in advance?"

"Secretary, you mean...?"

Hearing Lin Zifeng's words, Wang Zhongyu grasped a bit of it—that the government could do something by leveraging this upcoming industry. However, he hadn't thought of exactly what to do yet, as the time was too short.

Seeing Wang Zhongyu's changing expression, Lin Zifeng said with a smile, "Our city's Vocational Technical School was only expanded three years ago. This time, the Municipal Public Security Bureau's expansion of the police force borrowed classrooms from the Vocational Technical School.

All the facilities at the Vocational Technical School are brand new.

Although the Vocational Technical School covers many disciplines, the enrollment rate is less than half of the planned recruitment. Most classrooms are left idle. Isn't that a waste?

If we add a new Department of Performing Arts and hire performing arts teachers with high salaries, wouldn't our Vocational Technical School become a popular choice?"

Hearing Lin Zifeng's concept, Wang Zhongyu suddenly saw the light and said happily, "That goes without saying! It will definitely attract a large number of students. As long as the promotion is in place, this Department of Performing Arts will certainly be very popular.

Secretary, you still stand higher and see further! I have too much to learn from you."
