Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 113 He is knowledgeable

Fang Jun remained expressionless and serious.

Xu Chen remembered that she had bravely exposed the financial problems of the machinery factory, which directly led to the bankruptcy of a state-owned factory that had been in operation for decades, and he was convinced that the other party was "not joking"...

Xu Chen smiled and said nothing more, carefully putting away his contract.

Fang Jun glanced at the laptop behind Xu Chen:
"So, in the past hour, were you working on a plan?"

Xu Chen: "Yes, we have to submit the proposal tomorrow, so we have to get it done quickly."

Fang Jun frowned, still seeming unconvinced.

She glanced at the computer screen again and saw an open document page with what seemed to be the names of several companies.

Above are the names of several companies including Saatchi & Saatchi, Mega Creative, etc. When Xu Chen was thinking about the proposal ideas, he first wrote down these competitors in the document.

Xu Chen looked back and explained:
“These are several competing companies.

When doing a competition, you also need to understand who your competitors are. Only by knowing yourself and your opponents can you have a better chance of winning.

Sometimes, you also need to adjust the content of the proposal and the strategy of the proposal according to who your opponent is.”

Fang Jun had no expression on his face and spoke coldly:

"You really didn't do this on purpose for me to see?"

"..."

Xu Chen looked helpless and said with a smile:

"Do you usually talk like this?"

Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, but didn't seem to think there was anything wrong.

What she just said was actually a bit offensive.

But Xu Chen could sense that the other party was still being "straightforward" because he didn't believe that a high school student like him could handle a competition project.

There is actually no malicious intent in itself.

When it comes to judging people, Xu Chen is not as good as Guo Liang, the "human expert" who has traveled all over the country, but he has come into contact with many different kinds of people before his rebirth.

After two rounds of interactions with Fang Jun, I had a rough idea of her style.

Perhaps it is because he grew up in a very good family that he is really not afraid of offending others or getting into trouble.

Well... he is worthy of being the one who overturned Guangming Factory.

But she had no particular ill intentions, so Xu Chen didn't care.

"Let's go, it's time to board the plane."

As he spoke, Xu Chen quickly put away his computer and packed his bag.

……

While queuing to board the plane, Xu Chen glanced at Fang Jun's boarding pass.

Fortunately, she was not sitting with me...

The way this girl was "staring at Xu Chen" still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Economy class seats are crowded.

Xu Chen found his aisle seat and sat down.

Next to them were two middle-aged ladies, wearing travel agency hats on their heads, and it was obvious that they were going on a trip.

"Young man, are you going to Shanghai for tourism as well?"

Xu Chen smiled and responded casually.

"You look like a teenager. Is this your first time on a plane?"

"Oh...yeah."

Xu Chen was too lazy to explain to the two aunties, so he took out two sets of math exercises from his bag and started doing them whenever he had time.

The flight attendant explained the safety instructions, adjusted the seat, opened the small table, fastened the seat belt, etc...

Xu Chen made the adjustments skillfully and ignored everything else and went back to working on the test questions in his hand.

Two middle-aged ladies next to me who were flying for the first time were "tinkering" with the plane for a long time and seemed to have encountered a lot of trouble.

"How do I untie this rope?"

"Where do I adjust my seat?"

……

Xu Chen turned his head to take a look, then offered to help.

"Press here and the button will open."

"Press the button on the right-hand armrest all the way down, and then sit up straight, Auntie."

"The window curtains have to be opened now. You can close them after takeoff."

……

After some tinkering, the two noisy aunts were finally settled.

The room suddenly became quiet, and Xu Chen was able to continue immersing himself in the exercises.

"Young man, this is obviously not your first time on a plane!"

Xu Chen smiled obediently and said nothing.

……

In about half an hour of flight time, Xu Chen successfully finished two sets of exercises.

What he didn't know was that Fang Jun, who was sitting in the back seat, had secretly come over to take a few glances while using the restroom.

Fang Jun came over several times and found that Xu Chen was studying meticulously without any slacking or rest in between.

Even when the flight attendant was handing out meals, Xu Chen ate his boxed lunch without putting down the exercises in his hands.

……

After a turbulent moment, the plane landed smoothly.

Xu Chen queued up to get off the plane and found Fang Jun was already waiting at the exit.

Xu Chen walked over with a smile, took out his phone, replied a message, and said:
"I have another phone call to make, so I have to wait at the airport."

Fang Jun: "Oh... is it a work call?"

Xu Chen felt speechless again. The "big sister" Fang Jun in front of him was like a little detective staring at him and didn't even let go of any phone calls he made.

“I have managed to contact a colleague in the client’s marketing department and need to call to inquire about the details of tomorrow’s pitch.

This is also advance preparation. Try to know as much information as possible to be prepared for any eventuality and help the proposal succeed.”

Fang Jun: "Can I sit in and learn?"

Xu Chen: "Of course, Mr. Fang is here to participate in the project, so I just want to give you some pointers."

Fang Jun: "I really don't understand what you are doing, so I can't say I can give you any advice..." Xu Chen smiled and said, "Once this project is won and the other party wants to transfer the money, Teacher Fang Jun will be needed to control the financial and tax processes."

Fang Jun: "How much will this project cost?"

Xu Chen: “This advertising bidding is divided into three parts: creative bidding, production bidding, and media bidding. We only participate in the creative bidding.

A budget of 1.2 million.”

Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, but still showed a hint of surprise:
"A project worth 1.2 million, can you, a senior high school student, really participate in it?"

She paused and whispered:
"And you don't have a team yet, you're just doing it all by yourself..."

Xu Chen thought about it and explained it briefly:
“In advertising competitions, what we compete for is creative ideas, which can also be considered a form of creation.

There are some similarities with those singer-songwriters, writers, etc.

Theoretically speaking, as long as you are capable enough, you can do it alone.

Some unknown singers who have just debuted can also become popular in a short period of time relying on their creative ability.

In advertising competitions, as long as the creative proposal is strong and acceptable to the client, a small company also has a chance to win the competition.”

Fang Jun listened silently and felt that he had gained some new insights.

Xu Chen added:
“I really can’t participate in the production of labels and media labels.

That requires the company to have a production team, a media purchasing team, etc. It is impossible for one person to do it.”

"I see."

Fang Jun nodded and said.

At the same time, she has also realized that the senior high school student in front of her is indeed "knowledgeable".

Just the advertising industry knowledge he talked about is not something an outsider can know.

Xu Chen couldn't lie when answering questions on the spot.

No, he really needs to finish this project...

Fang Jun frowned, his expression a little complicated.

……

Both of them only had a backpack and no luggage to pick up, so they walked towards the terminal together.

Fang Jun: "I saw you were doing homework on the plane."

Xu Chen: "The college entrance examination is next month, so I have to hurry up and study."

Fang Jun: "Your family is quite powerful, and you can even start your own company...

Why do you have to study so hard? "

Xu Chen: "I'm not really that hardworking, but now there's only one month left before the college entrance exam, so working hard now is very cost-effective.

Now I can remember every question I did clearly, and if I pass the test, I will win! "

Fang Jun: "If you can start your own company now, you don't have to go to a very good university, right?"

Xu Chen: "It's always good to have many skills...

My family owns a company, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to get into a good university.

Being able to go to a good university will give me an extra platform and security.

A good university can provide you with vision, connections, and future social resources.

Maybe in the future, it can help my dad’s business.

To be pessimistic, if my father's business goes out of business, it would be easier for me, a graduate from a good university, to find a job.

If my dad is no longer able to do so, I have to be able to support him..."

Fang Jun listened silently, and the expression on his expressionless face changed slightly.

“Of course, I didn’t work particularly hard or study very hard.

I just put in the right amount of effort within a controllable and comfortable range.”

Fang Jun was silent for a while, then said:

“There are many people around me who come from well-off families, but none of them work as hard as you do.

They only think about relying on their family and parents.

I am not like you, who considers my family and parents carefully..."

She paused and continued:

"You're so young, but you're different from the people I know."

Xu Chen said nothing more.

He pondered over Fang Jun's words and seemed to understand some of the reasons behind her thoughts...

Fang Jun's attitude obviously changed a little, and he turned around and said:
"Is this your first time in Shanghai?"

Xu Chen thought about it and realized that this was indeed the first time for his 18-year-old self to come here in this life.

Although I had been here on business trips many times before my rebirth...

"Yeah, this is my first time going out so far."

Fang Jun: "Then I'll take you to dinner later. I've been to Shanghai several times, so I'm pretty familiar with it."

Xu Chen: “That’s great.”

Come to think of it, I look like an "18-year-old high school student" and Fang Jun, who is seven years older than me, should just treat me like a kid who has never been far away from home...

Fang Jun: “I saw Mr. Xu sent me my schedule. The competition will be held tomorrow, but you will not be back until the day after tomorrow.

If you want to have some fun in Shanghai the day after tomorrow, I can take you there."

Xu Chen: "No need, Mr. Fang, I have some plans for the day after tomorrow."

Fang Jun: "That's fine, just tell me if you need anything."

Xu Chen smiled obediently:

"Okay, thank you Sister Fang Jun!"

……

Hudong Airport is much more luxurious and spacious than the provincial capital airport we came from.

The two walked around and came to Starbucks in the airport.

Xu Chen did not follow Fang Jun into the store, but looked up at the TV hanging outside the store.

On TV, the sports channel was broadcasting news about the National Youth Track and Field Championships during the May Day holiday.

Regarding Xie Bingran, Xu Chen smiled and looked up to read carefully.
