    Chapter 118: She’s Not Right for You!

    “But if Shenzhen wants to make steady progress in intelligent technology, it still needs to focus on the economy first! Real estate is a good entry point.”

    “Economic development is the foundation for building a strong society. Once the economy is developed, with the help of policies, high-end industries can be attracted to establish roots in Shenzhen, which will better promote the development of intelligent technology!” Shen Fei spoke slowly.

    What Shen Fei said made Yu Guotu suddenly gasp in shock.

    He had just discussed these matters with the provincial leaders not long ago.

    The development of the economy, the introduction of high-end talent, and other actions were all intended to lay the groundwork for the future development of intelligent technology.

    Unexpectedly, this thought, which had been discussed just recently, was now being spoken by Shen Fei so casually.

    In an instant, the old man’s words rang in Yu Guotu’s mind:

    “This is an extraordinary talent!”

    At the time, Yu Guotu had dismissed this comment with contempt, but hearing it now, his heart was filled with astonishment.

    He truly was an extraordinary talent!

    “Fei Ge, are you saying there’s still a chance to make a profit in the real estate industry now?”

    Jiang Tiancheng, still confused, asked.

    Since Shen Fei and Yu Guotu had started their conversation, Jiang Tiancheng had been lost and unable to understand. He gave up thinking about it and decided to just enjoy the conversation.

    After all, he knew that Shenzhen’s future development would not be bad.

    In his mind, one thought dominated: Fei Ge was amazing!

    Although Fei Ge was just one year older than him, his understanding of politics, economics, and intelligent technology was far deeper than his own!

    In an instant, Shen Fei’s image grew even more impressive in Jiang Tiancheng’s eyes.

    Compared to Jiang Tiancheng, Jiang Shengcai was even more stunned.

    He watched Shen Fei converse fluently with Yu Guotu, the head of the Municipal Committee, and thought back to the information he had read about Shen Fei being a gambling addict.

    No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t reconcile the two images.

    Suddenly, Jiang Shengcai recalled a saying: “A scholar is to be viewed with respect after being separated for three days!”

    Shen Fei’s current demeanor was completely that of a different person!

    When Shen Fei heard Jiang Tiancheng’s question, he chuckled softly.

    “If you’re trying to make a big profit in real estate, you can in the short term, but it won’t work in the long run! The property prices are rising too fast, and how many people can afford it? Under these circumstances, the government will issue a series of macro-control policies to stabilize the property prices. So, in the future, property prices will stabilize within a certain range, and the increase will not be significant.”

    “Ah, I thought it was something else!”

    Jiang Tiancheng smiled awkwardly, feeling somewhat deflated.

    “Xiao Shen, no wonder the old Municipal Committee speaks so highly of you! After talking to you and hearing your well-reasoned analysis, you’re truly a genius! This is rare in Shenzhen, even in the entire country! Very impressive!”

    Yu Guotu praised Shen Fei sincerely without further questions.

    “Secretary Yu, you’re too kind. I’m just saying my piece. In the end, we still have to follow the policies! Just take it as a joke!” Shen Fei responded humbly.

    He was confident when needed, but still humble when praised.

    This demeanor only made Yu Guotu admire him even more.

    Such a young man—this was the first time Yu Guotu had seen someone like him.

    Even those young and successful entrepreneurs didn’t have this kind of outlook.

    “You are truly young and accomplished,” Yu Guotu nodded appreciatively, his regard for Shen Fei increasing.

    As the dinner continued, the conversation shifted away from politics.

    During casual chatting, when Yu Guotu learned that Shen Fei had no parents and grew up in an orphanage, he, as someone from a humble background, felt even more connected.

    Seeing Shen Fei’s manner of speaking and his knowledge, he was left speechless in amazement.

    After the meal, Yu Guotu could only summarize Shen Fei with two words: Genius!

    After three rounds of tea, Yu Guotu, due to his important duties, had to reluctantly end the meal.

    Before leaving, he suddenly looked at Shen Fei with curiosity.

    “I heard you know the I Ching and Bagua?”

    “Secretary Yu, do you want me to give you a reading?” Shen Fei smiled.

    “Yes, go ahead!” Yu Guotu said calmly.

    This request left both Jiang Tiancheng and Jiang Shengcai stunned.

    “Secretary Yu, if I really say something, please don’t think I’m trying to flatter or butter you up!”

    Shen Fei shook his head in a mock-ceremonial manner, acting a bit like a fortune-teller.

    “Does this mean you foresee a smooth career for me?” Yu Guotu laughed.

    “Yes! Secretary Yu, within three years, you will be promoted to the provincial head!” Shen Fei said playfully.

    “Well, let’s hope so, thanks to Xiao Shen!”

    Yu Guotu laughed heartily before leaving the room.

    ……

    After Yu Guotu and Jiang Shengcai were seen off, Jiang Tiancheng quietly asked.

    “Fei Ge, did you really predict Uncle Yu’s career?”

    “Not exactly!” Shen Fei laughed at himself.

    “Then what about this…” Jiang Tiancheng hesitated and glanced at Shen Fei.

    “A fortune-teller, three parts true, seven parts deception!” Shen Fei shrugged casually.

    “Tsk, Fei Ge, you’re really good at deceiving people!” Jiang Tiancheng teased.

    He had managed to convince even the head of the Municipal Committee.

    It had to be said, Fei Ge was really impressive in this regard!

    The two of them arrived at the parking lot.

    Just as Shen Fei was about to open the car door, Jiang Tiancheng hesitated.

    “Fei Ge, I…”

    “Speak!” Shen Fei turned to him.

    “That old classmate of yours, Su Ruyan, you…”

    Jiang Tiancheng suddenly became shy.

    This was the first time he had asked for a woman’s contact information.

    Hearing this, Shen Fei shook his head.

    “Tiancheng, she’s not right for you!”

    Shen Fei didn’t say this because he wanted to take revenge on Su Ruyan for rejecting him earlier.

    Rather, when Su Ruyan was young, she was willing to go into a hotel with a chubby man for fame and fortune, which showed that she was already quite calculating at a young age.

    As for what happened inside the hotel—whether it was studying or something else—Shen Fei didn’t know.

    But since Su Ruyan was still single and working as a saleswoman in a high-end area like Yunhe Villa, her ambition was clearly more than Jiang Tiancheng could handle.

    Love? Shen Fei didn’t believe she was a woman who would give up everything for love.

    She was far more calculating than he had thought.

    “Alright. Actually, I don’t really want Su Ruyan’s contact information! I’m just at the age where I should find someone to marry. I just thought your classmate looked good…”

    Jiang Tiancheng quickly explained.

    “Enough with all these nonsense!” Shen Fei waved his hand and opened the car door.

    Jiang Tiancheng didn’t respond and seemed to be lost in thought.

    The vehicle slowly started.

    Suddenly, the sound of a ‘tick’ brought Shen Fei’s thoughts back.
