Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again

Chapter 690: Chapter 249: Behavioral Psychology of High-IQ, Strong Novelty-Seeking Personality Types (Part 2)

Even if an ordinary employee works for decades and has abundant experience, they cannot compare to such top talent.

If hard work was enough, what would be the need for geniuses?

This statement also applies to Yan Qiuwen.

"I’ve decided, your position will be my exclusive business consultant. You don’t need to do anything else, just be my brain trust!"

Su Zelin made the decision on the spot, as if he had found a treasure.

The New Era’s expansion into the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Lu markets urgently needed such a brain trust; Yan Qiuwen’s arrival made him feel like a tiger growing wings.

Unfortunately, these wings are only temporary. If only there were a way to make them stay on this old tiger permanently.

Mr. Ma’s eyes darted around as he began scheming, thinking about how to keep Yan Qiuwen after her internship ends, urgently needing her for his own use.

If it were another woman, he could easily persuade her to stay with his glib tongue.

However, this woman is too smart, and his otherwise infallible glib tongue is useless.

Should he sacrifice a little and use his charm?

Hmm, I’m overthinking...

Although she’s not completely indifferent, she is somewhat distant.

It feels like Yan Qiuwen has no interest in men.

In his previous life, he knew old spinsters, and she was one of them.

Perhaps she’s too smart and asexual, unwilling to find a boyfriend.

Such good genes, and so beautiful, what a pity, a waste!

"Director, please don’t think about messy things, it brings me trouble!"

Yan Qiuwen could read the situation and see that Su Zelin’s thoughts weren’t pure, so she said irritably.

"Oh, it’s nothing like that."

Su Zelin laughed it off awkwardly.

Interacting with a clever girl was quite pleasant; you could discuss topics that ordinary employees wouldn’t understand, and she could provide constructive ideas.

The only downside was that it was hard to hide what you were thinking from her keen eyes.

Looks like I need to keep my Oscar-winning acting skills sharp at all times.

"Come on, let’s continue talking about this advertisement copy. How do you think we should modify it to better address consumer pain points?"

Yan Qiuwen: "..."

The two of them talked in the office for a full two hours.

Su Zelin felt he had gained a lot.

The intense clash of ideas with Yan Qiuwen indeed sparked a lot of inspiration, and stimulated by her thoughts, he felt his own thinking becoming ever clearer, creativity flowing like a spring.

Having such a think tank is wonderful; casually discussing the copy with her is very beneficial to his business empire.

Freeloading like this felt a bit embarrassing, maybe he should consider giving her a raise, also as preparation for keeping her in the future.

Of course, a raise probably wouldn’t do much good either; for someone like Yan Qiuwen, money might just be a number.

It’s not that her family is immensely wealthy.

Some people are genuinely uninterested in money.

Scientists and scholars, for example, are only attracted by everything in their field and are willing to give everything for research.

As for what Mr. Ma says, just listen; don’t take it seriously.

He’s not like those fervent scientists and scholars.

Of course, Yan Qiuwen’s family background isn’t poor either, given the status of her parents.

Anyway, compensation still needs to be discussed.

Whether or not Yan Qiuwen cares is one thing, but my sincerity is another.

So Su Zelin said, "Qiu Wen, let’s discuss your salary now."

"I don’t need any compensation," Yan Qiuwen said calmly, "But I have a request. If possible, consider it as my compensation!"

"Oh, let’s hear it."

"Answer one question for me every day."

Su Zelin was taken aback.

What kind of strange request is this?

In his previous life, he had many talented subordinates, some of whom were technical or research folks with eccentric personalities.

They had made some odd requests, but none as strange as Yan Qiuwen’s.

"Don’t worry, it won’t involve personal privacy!"

Yan Qiuwen added.

"Alright then!"

Mr. Ma agreed.

Although the request was odd, it wasn’t excessive, and he had no reason to refuse.

At this moment, Song Yuwei walked in, and was a bit surprised to see Yan Qiuwen.

Isn’t she the intern who reported today?

"Yuwei, you came just in time. Arrange for Qiu Wen to have a separate office later; she’s now my exclusive business consultant!"

Exclusive business consultant?

Song Yuwei was taken aback.

This is a very high position, providing consultation to executives, akin to a strategist, usually held by experts.

Yet this girl, just an intern, was so highly valued by the boss.

After a moment of shock, Song Yuwei finally reacted, couldn’t help but size up Yan Qiuwen.

Then the assistant noticed something special about this girl.

She had a pair of beautiful and profound, seemingly all-seeing, magical eyes.

The feeling was quite peculiar.

With just a glance, it was as if secrets in one’s heart were left without defense, fully exposed.

Song Yuwei couldn’t help but feel a chill inwardly.

Yan Qiuwen withdrew her gaze.

This female assistant, if not mistaken, was the cause of the laurel scent in Su Zelin’s car.

Or possibly one of them.

"Assistant Song, please take care of me!"

Yan Qiuwen extended her hand proactively, suddenly remembering to curve her lips into the perfect arc.

She must smile.

"Uh, likewise!"

Song Yuwei hurriedly extended her hand.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Assistant Song then took Yan Qiuwen to arrange for her office.
