Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 117: The One Who Appears Out of Nowhere and Defeates Everybody
Earlier at the airport, Xu Chen asked in a joking tone:
"So in this competition, do you hope that I win or lose?"

At that time, Fang Jun did not answer, but covered it up with silence.

At this moment, Fang Jun stood at the door, but suddenly turned around and answered the question:

"I hope you win..."

Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked:
"why?"

Fang Jun suddenly became silent.

She stood in the dimly lit doorway, and her fair face, which never wore makeup, could not be seen clearly.

The bright lights in the corridor outside outlined her petite figure and towering ponytail...

She stood there in silence for a few seconds before she spoke:
“From childhood to adulthood…

Almost everything in my life depends on my parents.

My parents and family will arrange everything for me, even though what they arrange may not be what I like.

I have tried to fight for what I want and like without relying on my parents...

But I found that I really couldn't do it without them.

I don’t have enough ability, nor can I make sustained efforts and hard work.

Even in my previous company, I wanted to expose some facts, but without my parents and family, I couldn't do it...

Many young people I know also rely on their parents and families, and they feel at ease.

I was almost at peace with myself and thought this was a good thing.

Until now, I have known you..."

Xu Chen listened quietly, without saying a word.

This sister who comes from a good family, with her high ponytail and arrogant and cold expression, may have always been just a disguise.

Fang Jun continued:
“You could rely on your father’s, too, but you barely have any.

You are doing everything entirely on your own. Your father has not helped you at all in what you are doing now.

You rely entirely on your own ability, perseverance, and hard work.

So I think if you don't rely on your dad at all, you can get things done tomorrow...

Then this road is still viable.

Then, I still have a chance to succeed...

So, I hope you can win tomorrow."

In the dim entrance hall, Fang Jun lowered his head slightly.

Xu Chen was still sitting at the table, feeling a little speechless.

When discussing with his father previously, Xu Zhiquan mentioned that Fang Jun looked like he "didn't want to rely on his parents".

At that time, Xu Chen also teased:
"People like Fang Jun should give up their chance to be reborn..."

Now, Xu Chen still has the same idea.

Although parents can be a support, he still wants to do everything on his own. It sounds passionate and courageous, but it is somewhat stupid.

Xu Chen's current struggles are only to "cultivate" his biological father, the richest man, in the future, so that he can stop struggling and quietly be an ordinary rich second generation.

In addition, Xu Chen's work on advertising is also "out of interest", not entirely for money or career...

Xu Chen could not empathize with Fang Jun, who had a "good family background", but he could understand it a little.

Perhaps, her powerful parents and family background made her feel her own insignificance.

Rich or poor, everyone has their own emotional dilemmas.

There is nothing wrong with this.

So the world is full of besieged cities, and many people build their own cages in their hearts.

Fang Jun cleared his throat and whispered:

"I'm sorry to make you listen to me."

Xu Chen suddenly laughed and said:

“If you say I don’t rely on my parents, I still rely on my dad a little.

If you want to join my dad's company, I should have the opportunity to introduce you to another person in the future.

She is the one who really relies on herself, even her parents can't find her, and she is a girl.

But she may not be comparable.

Because he is a gifted monster, the kind that instantly defeats everyone and everyone else no matter how hard others try, they can’t catch up.”

The person Xu Chen was talking about was naturally Xie Bingran.

Yes, when it comes to relying on oneself without relying on parents, no one can compare to Brother Bing.

Xu Chen is still taking advantage of his rebirth, while Brother Bing is a real gifted monster.

There is no golden finger, but born invincible.

……

……

After Fang Jun left, Xu Chen slightly modified the plan in the hotel room and then went downstairs alone.

He walked to the venue for the competition tomorrow, an office building called Yuanmao Business Building, just to check it out.

It is already past nine o'clock in the evening, but the office building is still brightly lit.

There is a cafe in the lobby on the first floor, and the staff is closing the shop.

The headquarters of Renhe Pharmaceutical is not in Shanghai. It is considered a sales and marketing company in the East China region.

There are many advertising companies and media companies in Shanghai, so this time the competition was held here.

After a quick visit, Xu Chen found a printing shop nearby and made two sets of business cards overnight.

In addition to his own, of course, it also includes Fang Jun's.

In business scenarios, try to pay attention to details as much as possible.

In this 24-hour printing shop, two young men who looked like college students were making something that looked like two banners...

Xu Chen thought about it and decided that coming to Shanghai to attend university was actually a good choice. Xie Bingran had told him before that there was one best hurdle coach in the country, one in Beijing and one in Shanghai.

After Xie Bingran finished the May Day race and won a medal, he was admitted to the national track and field team, so he should be able to choose any school he wants.

As for Xu Chen, we still have to look at his actual college entrance examination results.

But there is no problem in finding a university in Shanghai.

There are so many universities in Shanghai, it all depends on how well you do in the college entrance exam, whether you have a chance to get into the top three...

Well, when it comes to going to college, the talented Xie Bingran is still ahead of himself.

I guess Xie Bingran can probably choose from the best universities in Shanghai.

……

At nine o'clock the next morning, Xu Chen went downstairs alone.

There are five companies participating in the pitch today, two in the morning and three in the afternoon.

Since Dongchen Advertising was the last one confirmed to participate in the competition, it happened to be arranged as the last one.

Each company has one hour for proposal and Q&A. Xu Chen's proposal time is 5 pm, but he usually arrives half an hour earlier.

Xu Chen could naturally go there after four in the afternoon, but based on his experience in the previous competition and yesterday's site visit, he decided to go there early today, perhaps in the hope of gaining something unexpected.

He didn't plan to take Fang Jun with him, but when he went downstairs, he ran into him in the hotel lobby...

Fang Jun showed a trace of annoyance again and said:
"I said we were going to do this project together, and I need to be involved throughout the entire process."

"..."

Xu Chen smiled and said nothing more, then took out a box of newly made business cards from his schoolbag.

Fang Jun took it and looked at it:
【Dongchen Advertising, Strategic Director, Fang Jun】

Xu Chen explained:
“Finance teachers are usually not included in the competition, so ‘strategy director’ was printed first.”

Fang Jun nodded and put the business card away.

……

After the two of them went out, they went straight to the Yuanmao Business Building, which was also the location of the Renhe Pharmaceutical competition.

Xu Chen came to the coffee shop in the lobby on the first floor, chose a suitable seat, and sat down with Fang Jun.

In this era, there was no mobile phone ordering, so you had to go to the bar and find a waiter to place your order.

Fang Jun stood up and walked to the bar...

Soon, the waiter brought the food and drinks.

Two sandwiches for breakfast, followed by a latte and a pot of herbal tea.

The tea was naturally Xu Chen's, Fang Jun already knew that he didn't drink coffee.

It was already past nine in the morning, and the hall was filled with white-collar workers rushing to work.

Xu Chen took out his laptop, plugged it in, and leisurely worked on the PPT while drinking tea.

Fang Jun was a little bored, but since she came here on her own initiative, she could only stay there quietly.

At about half past nine, five people walked into the lobby together.

Xu Chen knew at a glance that this was the proposal team of "Great Wall".

People from these foreign-funded advertising companies are very easy to identify. They usually dress a little "unconventionally" and you can tell at first glance that they are creative people.

What's more, among these five people, there are two foreigners, one man and one woman.

A tall white sister with blonde hair and blue eyes, she looks to be around thirty years old.

There was also a muscular white guy who looked a little younger.

It is obvious that these two foreigners were specially invited to preside over this competition.

They should all be foreign creative directors or account directors.

Fang Jun saw Xu Chen looking at those people and asked:
"who is it?"

"People from the Great Wall."

“There really are foreigners…”

“For this kind of foreign-funded 4A companies, the directors are basically all foreigners, from Europe, America, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

It’s very difficult for mainland creative people to make it big…”

"How do you know all this?"

Xu Chen smiled and did not give a direct answer. Instead, he changed the subject and said:
“The big boss of Renhe has a filter for foreign advertising companies, so he hired Saatchi & Saatchi.

They will definitely cater to his wishes and deliberately arrange for a foreign creative director to come.

Maybe these two foreigners had no involvement in the proposal they submitted today.”

"It's still possible." Fang Jun said.

"What do you think? In many foreign advertising companies now, foreign directors are dominating, while mainland creative people are working hard under them..."

What Xu Chen said was indeed true.

From the mid-to-late 4s to , many foreign-funded A studios indeed had such an ecosystem.

The top management all comes from Europe and the United States.

Among the middle-level directors, a small number are from Europe and the United States, but most are controlled by people from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore.

Advertising professionals from the mainland are basically people who work at the bottom. Even if they have outstanding abilities, it is difficult for them to be promoted to the position of director...

As the two were talking, they saw four or five people from Shengshi Great Wall walking over from the lobby and entering the coffee shop.

It's only half past nine now, and their proposal should start at ten o'clock, so we'll just wait down there for a while.

The two foreigners found a seat and sat down, while the other three Chinese employees went to order coffee and food.

Xu Chen looked at the two foreigners from a distance, frowned and thought about it.

"Wait for me for a moment. I'm going to... do something."

Having said that, Xu Chen stood up and walked towards the two foreign directors of Shengshi Great Wall.
