455: Chapter 455 Zhang Shiqing's New Opportunity! Building a Small Fishing Boat

"Did Old Dog Shen really do this?"

"This is just too inhumane. In that case, we definitely have to save him a fortune on endorsement fees."

"Brothers, build the thread!"

Consequently, under the pinned Weibo poll, an unofficial candidate [Shen Fei] appeared, and the photo used was even carefully polished.

The female fans who were originally voting for their own idols were also very confused, wondering how they ended up voting for their own boss while they were at it.

Under the pranks of these tech bloggers, the entertainment industry fans, who had already been fabricating dirt on each other, paused their efforts.

The trend on the internet shifted once again!

[Writing this far, I hope readers will remember our domain: Taiwan Novel Network is super awesome, with a vast library.]

The tech bloggers were also frantically campaigning for votes for Shen Fei!

"Our President Shen can plan such an amazing marketing campaign; President Shen himself is the true hidden top-tier celebrity!"

"Why choose an endorser? It would be better to let the planner go up there himself; the sales will definitely explode!"

"I heard the song was also written by President Shen. Why not just debut? If he doesn't want to be in the spotlight, being a songwriter is fine too."

"The tech world has lost a rising star, but the entertainment industry has gained a monster."

The person in charge at Time Fengjun, who had been slightly regretful, completely abandoned their worries. After all, in just three days, the TFBOYS group's fan count had instantly surged from 7 million to 27 million.

Moreover, the growth consisted entirely of active fans. Although it's unclear how their monetization capability is, their fighting strength is certainly impressive.

This endorsement was worth it. They could do the same kind of hype themselves later on; as long as they can make a group popular, it's worth it. As for the rest, they can just keep collecting breach-of-contract penalties!

...

Meanwhile, Shen Fei was following Zhang Shiqing to visit various uncles at the Yangcheng compound. He had no idea that he had become a major player online, the main candidate curbing the fans of various families from exposing dirt on each other.

Yangcheng compound, Building No. 1.

"Secretary, we've come to wish you a belated Happy New Year!"

"Shiqing, now that you're here, why talk about it being late!"

Secretary Li hurriedly greeted everyone to sit down and simultaneously had his life assistant take out his treasured fine tea.

Shen Fei also made his rounds. The setup here was a bit higher-end than the one Zhang Shiqing had, but that was understandable, given this was the No. 1 compound.

The two chatted for a while, and then Secretary Li's expression suddenly turned serious.

"By the way, Shiqing, you two should spend more time together these few days. In a while, if you want to meet up again, you might have to make a special trip."

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei and Zhang Shiqing both hurriedly put down what they were holding.

"Secretary, do you have news?"

Zhang Shiqing glanced at Secretary Li and then quickly looked at Shen Fei. After all, he was already at the peak of the vice-ministerial level and had supplemented it with grassroots experience, so moving up a step was normal, but he hadn't expected it to be so soon.

"The news I received is like this!"

Zhang Shiqing's breathing instantly quickened, but he hadn't received any news; even his teacher hadn't told him!

Seeing him like this, Secretary Li didn't know if he should say it!

As a cigarette was lit, Secretary Li coughed and then hurriedly said, "However, don't be anxious! Because this matter hasn't been finalized yet, and I don't know if I should let you know."

"Uncle Li, just tell us, otherwise my dad might not be able to sleep tonight."

There were some things Zhang Shiqing couldn't say, but Shen Fei asked for him.

"It's in our neighboring Fujian Province. Due to some matters, the position of Deputy Secretary has become vacant, and their Governor has also retired."

"So..."

Shen Fei asked for him, but Uncle Li said very bluntly, "If you secure this Deputy Secretary position now, the path will be clear. Moreover, the higher-ups have asked about it; Shiqing is indeed lacking the experience of a full-time Deputy Secretary."

Zhang Shiqing thought about it. This was indeed a temptation; as long as he took that step, he could extend his career by several years! But how big is big enough when it comes to officialdom?

He was already a Standing Committee member and the Secretary of Shenzhen; he had reached the peak. Moreover, in Shenzhen, he could see his granddaughter from time to time; why bother running off to the neighboring Fujian Province!

"Brother Li, let's forget it? I'm already very satisfied with my current position, and now I have three generations living under one roof. Spending time with the child on weekends, isn't that quite good?"

"Think clearly!"

Secretary Li looked at him, and Zhang Shiqing closed his eyes and nodded.

"If you miss this step, who knows when the next one will come! Push for the Yangcheng Secretary! He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and it should have been his in the first place!"

Just as the situation was getting tense, Shen Fei said, "Uncle, why don't we listen to my dad's wishes? By the way, our laboratory has come up with another good thing."

Secretary Li, who had been a bit disappointed, heard Shen Fei's words, immediately put down the cigarette in his hand, and looked at Shen Fei with a surprised expression.

After all, they were a private enterprise, and they wouldn't usually tell them about ordinary technical breakthroughs. The last time this little brat said something like this, he brought out the Kunpeng engine.

"Don't look at me like that, you two. It's really not some big technology; it's just an engine for a small boat."

"Are you sure it's a small boat?"

"That's right, a little fishing boat."

After saying that, Shen Fei pulled a USB drive from who knows where, and both of their eyes were immediately drawn to it.

"Do you have a computer at home? One that isn't classified!"

The life assistant nearby immediately got up after receiving a glance from Uncle Li.

"It doesn't matter if this thing is classified or not. If I'm not mistaken, this is definitely not just some small fishing boat..."

Not even five minutes later, the life secretary brought over a computer and, very thoughtfully, had prepared blood pressure medication for the two of them!

When Shen Fei saw this, he pointed to the medicine bottle and the water glass next to it, "Uncle Li, is there really a need to be so fully prepared?"

It's just a small engine.

"Then according to you, how much do you plan to sell this little engine for? 5 million, 10 million?"

Although he said that, Uncle Li still took the blood pressure medication, swallowed it in one gulp, and then took the USB drive to have a look.

QC-3500 Blue Whale Marine Gas Turbine. Unit Power: 35MW (World-class). Thermal Efficiency: 42%. Lifespan: 12,000 hours. Note: This engine is small in volume, low in noise, starts quickly, supports all-electric propulsion, and can power integrated electric systems.

Secretary Li hurriedly smoothed his chest. Fortunately, the blood pressure medication had already taken effect, otherwise, he was really afraid he might collapse.

He was a bit suspicious of Shen Fei's intentions. After all... just after talking about that matter, the other party came up with a "just broken through" technology. If he wasn't mistaken, this engine had been developed a long time ago! It's just that... well, that had nothing to do with him.

So, after smoothing his chest, he hurriedly said, "Old Zhang, I told you, there isn't a single word of truth in this little brat's mouth."

Zhang Shiqing just smiled and didn't make a sound, then he looked at Secretary Li's position.

He only had one thought in his mind now: is this position really not meant for him?

"Secretary! Now is not the time to talk about this. The important thing is that with this engine, just as Shen Fei said, it looks like our little fishing boat can have its heart replaced!"

"Right, you're the one who understands, Old Zhang. I'm going now; I believe those engineers will definitely love this New Year's gift!"
