Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 119 Is there a chance to dig a hole
Fang Jun held a cup of coffee and turned to look out the window.

Three people from "Meigao Creative" were standing outside chatting.

A few steps behind them, Xu Chen stood there, flipping through his phone. He seemed to be waiting for someone, but in fact he was eavesdropping.

A few minutes later, the gentle-looking middle-aged leader of "Mega Creative" put out his cigarette and left with his two subordinates.

Xu Chen turned around and walked back to the cafe.

"How is it?" Fang Jun asked.

Xu Chen smiled and said, "I want to thank Teacher Fang Jun again."

Fang Jun: “Why?”

Xu Chen: “I just heard them complaining that when they were making a proposal, they were challenged by a ‘medical expert’ on the jury.

The medical expert questioned their advertising copy, saying it did not fit in with the product's selling point and even went against medical common sense.

It seems that in this competition, Mei Gao is likely to be eliminated..."

Fang Jun: "That sounds like a good thing. We have one less competitor."

Xu Chen was actually a little surprised about this.

Although Mega is not a particularly large advertising company, it has had many medical product clients in the past and should not have made such a low-level mistake.

Perhaps they thought it was a sure thing and did not take it seriously, or perhaps the director leading the team this time was not from a healthcare background.

Although advertisers need to be able to work in all industries, there are still some barriers between industry categories.

Some advertisers focus on specific industry categories, and occasionally "fail" when crossing industries.

Xu Chen glanced at Fang Jun and said with a smile:

"Fortunately, we have the almighty teacher Fang Jun, who introduced me to a professional medical expert."

Fang Jun thought about it, then shook his head and said seriously:
“It actually has nothing to do with me.

You first asked clearly who would be on the judges, then anticipated the problems and took preventive measures in advance.

The three people from Mei Gao did not do research in advance and find solutions like you did.

I just happen to be here and can only be regarded as a resource for you.

So... you are still better."

Xu Chen laughed and put away the computer on the table:
"Let's go, let's eat nearby."

……

There is a "Yaxin Plaza" nearby, which is where white-collar workers in the area eat lunch, and it is filled with restaurants of all sizes.

It was only a few hundred meters away from here, so Xu Chen and Fang Jun walked there.

Xu Chen didn’t care what to eat, so he gave the decision-making power to Fang Jun.

As the elder sister with a "good family background", Fang Jun is obviously still a little picky.

She took a quick look around, picked a Huaiyang restaurant and walked in.

After sitting down, Fang Jun took the menu, glanced at it, and casually ordered the restaurant's signature dish.

Crab meat lion head, squirrel fish, Pingqiao tofu...

Several dishes were served. The portions were not large, but they looked exquisite and delicious.

Xu Chen couldn't help laughing:
"It's quite worldly to have dinner with Teacher Fang Jun!"

Fang Jun looked normal and said casually:

"State banquets are mostly Huaiyang cuisine, this one is just okay for the meal, I've had better ones in Beijing..."

Xu Chen shook his head with a complicated expression:
"What kind of family does Teacher Fang come from?"

Invisible pretense is the most deadly.

……

……

The afternoon competition didn’t start until 3 o’clock, and Dongchen Advertising didn’t submit its proposal until 5 o’clock, so there was plenty of time at noon.

The two of them were not in a hurry to eat. They chewed slowly and enjoyed themselves.

Xu Chen was eating a bowl of dessert while browsing the news on his mobile phone.

The "National Youth Track and Field Championships" are being reported intensively these past two days.

Especially the local media in Shanghai, they are all promoting the track and field athletes representing Shanghai in the competition.

There are also two women's 100-meter hurdlers, both freshmen from two universities in Shanghai, who will be Bingge's competitors on the track. Obviously, the local media have already promoted these two athletes as the "champions and runners-up".

Xu Chen found it a little funny and was even more looking forward to seeing Brother Bing crush them.

Xu Chen flipped through the pages but didn't find any news directly related to Xie Bingran.

But this is completely understandable. After all, Brother Bing has only participated in the Tiancheng City Games so far.

Tiancheng can only be regarded as an inconspicuous small county town.

The competition the day after tomorrow will be Xie Bingran’s first national event.

……

At this moment, an angry male voice suddenly came from behind:

"Don't you have a brain?! How many times have I told you not to put sugar in my coffee!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li... the clerk brought the wrong one. I'll go buy you another one..."

Fang Jun frowned, turned his head and saw that they were guests from the next table.

The "Mr. Li" who was angry was a fat middle-aged man with a greasy face.

The young man who got the wrong coffee ran out with an embarrassed look on his face and went to buy new coffee.

There were two other young men at the table, obviously subordinates of "Mr. Li", and they looked very nervous.

Xu Chen did not look back, but the moment he heard the voice, he thought to himself:
"I never thought that we would meet again on a narrow road..."

The fat "Mr. Li" behind him is named Li Fengfeng, and he is the leading director of Heiju Marketing's team participating in the competition this time.

In his previous life, Xu Chen worked at Heiju Marketing for about a year, working under Director Li Fengfeng.

Li Fengfeng is a very typical "bad leader" with extremely poor character.

Just like his attitude towards his subordinates, many people say that he enjoys "bullying and exploiting the younger generation."

And the more cowardly and obedient the subordinates are, the more harshly he will scold them.

In his previous life, Xu Chen was also stubborn and ignored Li Fengfeng. Later, Mr. Li also ignored Xu Chen.

But Xu Chen still had to wear a lot of small shoes, and a large part of his year-end bonus was deducted.

Li Fengfeng's professional character is also very poor.

The advertising industry can also be considered a "creative industry."

Whenever a classic advertising work comes out, people in the circle will discuss who created it, who the creative director is, who the copywriter is, and who the designer is.

In the team, Li Fengfeng would deprive his subordinates of the right to sign their works, and all the works would be signed with his own name.

He would even submit the works of his team members for awards.

After winning an advertising award, all the honor and prize money will belong to you privately.

In his previous life, Xu Chen resigned from Heiju in anger after two of his advertising works were "plagiarized" by Li Fengfeng.

Of course, Li Fengfeng is not completely useless in business.

His business ability is pretty good. He can deal with some clients and occasionally come up with some good solutions.

This is also the reason why he was able to be promoted to director in the company despite his extremely bad character.

Of course, lack of character will eventually bring disaster upon oneself.

In his previous life, four or five years after Xu Chen left Heiju, he heard news about Li Fengfeng in the circle again.

He had been promoted to group director of the company at that time, but he was reported to have "taken advantage" of the project. After investigation, he was dismissed by the company. His reputation in the advertising industry was completely ruined and no company dared to hire him.

According to the timeline before rebirth, Xu Chen would encounter this "evil leader" four or five years later.

I didn't expect to meet him now after my rebirth.

Xu Chen drank his tea and looked back.

Li Fengfeng was eating alone, but the two subordinates beside him didn't even dare to move their chopsticks.

The young boy next to him smiled in a flattering manner and said:
"Boss Li, once you win this project, you can be promoted from deputy director to director, right?"

Li Fengfeng snorted coldly:
"I should have been promoted to director a long time ago, but it was Mr. Wu who blocked me on purpose!
Wait until I win this competition, and then we'll see what he has to say!"

Xu Chen listened silently, and couldn't help but sneered in his heart:
"That's bad. Looks like you'll have to wait a little longer before you can be promoted to director."

I don’t know if I can set a trap for Mr. Li this time, so that you can stop harming young people…
