33: She was too eager to improve.

The next day.

Chen Qiu drove the brand-new Audi Horch to his blind date.

The clothes he was wearing were one of the four sets Xu Jia had helped him pick out yesterday.

As for the style, it was a relatively casual set.

A simple t-shirt with a zipper jacket over it, paired with cargo pants.

The reason Chen Qiu chose this set was very simple.

That iconic LV logo was printed brightly in the most conspicuous position on the jacket.

Hmm, it looked very luxurious!

It had quite the vibe of a gullible fool who is rich and harmless!

Chen Qiu was also looking forward to it.

Hopefully, this blind date, Shao Shushuang, could be just like that He Ting.

Making an exorbitant demand!

The location for today's blind date was set at a Hunan restaurant in Jiufang Mall.

It was decided by the woman.

Just as Chen Qiu steadily parked the car in the underground garage spot.

His phone vibrated, and he received a message from her.

"Aren't you here yet?"

Chen Qiu raised an eyebrow.

He re-confirmed the time displayed in the top right corner of his phone.

"That's not right, there are still ten minutes until the appointed time..."

However, Chen Qiu only hesitated for a second.

He replied directly.

"I'm downstairs."

Three minutes later.

Chen Qiu saw his blind date in the restaurant.

She was sitting at a window seat.

Wearing a clean and sharp high ponytail.

Her face had light makeup, and a pair of thin-rimmed glasses rested on the bridge of her nose.

She was wearing a light-colored shirt, with a well-fitted beige trench coat over it, and dark dress pants on the bottom.

Her whole person exuded an intellectual and capable aura.

Chen Qiu was a bit surprised.

Because the real-life Shao Shushuang in front of him was actually better-looking than in her photos!

You have to know.

In this era where everyone uses beauty filters and you can only trust thirty percent of a photo.

This kind of situation was simply as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!

"Hello, I am Shao Shushuang!"

Seeing Chen Qiu approach, Shao Shushuang stood up on her own initiative and reached out her hand.

This formal gesture surprised Chen Qiu again.

"Hello, Chen Qiu!"

They shook hands, a fleeting touch.

Just as Chen Qiu sat down.

Shao Shushuang handed the menu from the table over to him.

"I've been to this place a few times before, the food is quite good."

"I've already ordered two dishes that I like."

"If you can't handle spicy food well, just choose from these few; they are also quite good."

Chen Qiu looked closely.

On the menu, sure enough, there were a few dish names circled with red ink.

These should be the choices Shao Shushuang had circled for him.

Since she had already circled them for him, what else was there for him to order?

"This woman's desire for control is a bit strong!"

Chen Qiu thought to himself.

But he didn't mind and casually ordered two more dishes she had circled.

"If I didn't know Miss Shao was a civil servant."

Chen Qiu spoke first, breaking the silence.

"I would have thought you were a university teacher!"

Whether it was her attire or her temperament, Shao Shushuang really did have the feel of a highly educated female teacher from a university!

"My parents actually hoped I would take the exam to become a teacher."

"They are both professors at the University of Science and Technology."

"But I don't think a routine teaching life is what I want."

"So, after I finished my master's degree, I went straight to take the civil service exam!"

Shao Shushuang adjusted the glasses on the bridge of her nose and said calmly.

Immediately after.

Her beautiful, slightly sharp eyes, hidden behind the lenses, lingered for a moment on the jacket Chen Qiu was wearing with the conspicuous LV logo.

"Mr. Chen, on the other hand."

"Doesn't look much like someone who is starting a business."

"Instead, you have the vibe of a rich second generation!"

Shao Shushuang's tone remained flat.

But Chen Qiu heard a subtle, aggressive feeling in it.

Shao Shushuang was a bit disappointed!

Before coming to this blind date, she had learned from the matchmaker.

That Chen Qiu was a young man who had started from scratch and succeeded in business!

It was precisely because of this that she was willing to come on this date.

She had originally thought she would see a peer full of drive and high spirits.

Before coming, she even had a trace of expectation.

If he were a grassroots entrepreneur, she could win him over and guide him to invest in projects in the city!

Although she hadn't been in the Culture and Tourism Bureau for long, she was full of ambition!

And she was lucky enough to have just encountered the newly established Cultural Industry Park!

This made Shao Shushuang see an opportunity to display her talents!

If she could operate properly within the Cultural Industry Park project, she would be able to accumulate achievements quickly!

But.

She hadn't expected.

That the Chen Qiu in front of her was actually wearing a full set of conspicuous luxury goods.

His whole demeanor also seemed slightly leisurely, or even one could say, lazy.

This was not at all like the grassroots entrepreneur she had expected.

Instead, he was more like one of those rich, playboy types who only seek pleasure!

For someone like this, let alone bringing her achievements, it would be good if he didn't cause trouble!

"I wonder which industry Mr. Chen is involved in?"

Shao Shushuang continued to ask.

"Finance."

Chen Qiu brought out the excuse he had thought of beforehand.

Upon hearing this, the disappointment in Shao Shushuang's eyes could no longer be completely hidden!

That's it.

She knew it.

She heard that this Chen Qiu was still working for someone else not long ago.

To be able to earn a large amount of wealth in just a few short months.

That was highly likely the finance industry!

She had absolutely no interest in finance.

In fact, she even felt some deep-seated disgust for it.

Back then.

Her father, who was a professor, had become obsessed with stock trading back then and ended up owing a mountain of debt.

Causing the household to be in chaos every day during that time!

On the other hand.

Her personality was naturally not fond of industries like finance, which are full of uncertainty and impossible to control!

In her view.

Many people in finance, don't look at how they are infinitely glorious one day, with luxury cars and mansions.

They might be ruined the next day because of investment failures or policy changes!

There was simply no guarantee; it was just a game of passing the parcel!

Furthermore.

Looking at Chen Qiu's slightly nouveau riche temperament.

The "finance" he spoke of might even be some grey industry prohibited in the country!

For example, crypto trading!

Chen Qiu keenly noticed the subtle changes in Shao Shushuang's expression and attitude.

"Miss Shao, you seem to have some resistance to the finance industry?"

Shao Shushuang's expression instantly returned to calm.

"It's not exactly resistance."

She leaned forward, fingers interlaced, presenting the posture of a superior.

"As the core of the modern economy, finance plays an irreplaceable and important role in promoting our country's economic and social development."

"It can effectively allocate social resources, promote capital circulation, and serve the real economy..."

She paused, and the tone of her conversation shifted.

"However, finance can indeed make a lot of money, quick money."

"But no matter how much money you make, it's just making money."

"At best, you can only become a businessman."

Chen Qiu was now one hundred percent certain.

This Shao Shushuang was definitely not cut out to be a teacher.

The civil servant vibe on her was just too strong!

"Mr. Chen, do you know about the Cultural Industry Park that the city recently approved?"

Shao Shushuang suddenly asked.

Chen Qiu shook his head.

Shao Shushuang showed an expression of no surprise.

In her heart, she had completely pegged Chen Qiu as the kind of shallow person who only cared about making money and having fun, and didn't care about the development of his hometown.

However, she still patiently continued.

"This Cultural Industry Park is a major project that the city has been focusing on promoting recently, and the total investment scale is very large!"

"Once this project is built and landed."

"It will not only be able to revitalize the local characteristic culture of Gannan."

"It can also directly stimulate local employment and consumption."

"Comprehensively upgrading our city's cultural and tourism brand image!"

"This kind of comprehensive social benefit is far beyond what the finance industry you are engaged in can achieve!"

Chen Qiu was a bit baffled listening to this.

He could tell now.

This Shao Shushuang and that He Ting from yesterday were two completely opposite types.

Strong, with a strong desire for control.

This one was also "full of official air."

It seems that his wearing this LV outfit today had actually backfired.

"So, Miss Shao, you would prefer your other half to have achievements in the real industry?"

"Yes!"

Shao Shushuang nodded without hesitation.

"If Mr. Chen has the heart to contribute to the construction of your hometown in the future."

"After our Cultural Industry Park is officially established, you are also welcome to invest and join, Mr. Chen."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiu was a bit dumbfounded.

Was she treating today's blind date as a conference for investment promotion?

If he remembered correctly, this person was just a small fry who had just passed the exam!

Did she really think of herself as a leader?

She really wants to advance too much!

Just at this moment, the system's voice rang in Chen Qiu's mind.

[Ding, the blind date's requirements have been matched. You have obtained 30% of the shares of the Qiancheng Cultural Industry Group and the complete business plan for the Cultural Industry Park!]
