Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 229 A Little Move
Xie Bingran stuck out her tongue and licked her little lips.

She felt that Xu Chen's eyes were a little strange, as if he wanted to eat her.

Xu Chen narrowed his eyes, thinking that the little tongue that just stuck out accidentally...

You are really good at it...

It was not known whether Xie Bingran "didn't understand" or "understood too much". She dodged, took a grape from the fruit plate, and stuffed it into Xu Chen's mouth.

"I'm going to change my clothes!"

As he spoke, Xie Bingran stood up and picked up the backpack at hand.

When changing clothes, of course, I would change into a set of national team uniforms.

For the live event in the afternoon, wearing the national team's uniforms would naturally be more presentable, and it was also a deliberate arrangement by Xu Chen.

Xu Chen was chewing grapes in big mouthfuls, not seeming very happy.

“I want to go and see!”

"..."

Xie Bingran's face showed a cold light:
"Be careful or you might break your legs!"

As she spoke, she walked out with her bag.

Xu Chen sat alone on the sofa, looking down at his legs, thinking that even if he broke one, it shouldn't affect his life too much, right?
……

Just as Xu Chen was feeling anxious and confused, the sound of a combination lock was suddenly heard from outside.

He felt doubtful and got up to go out.

Standing at the door of the reception room and looking outside, I found that it was Teacher Fang Jun who came in carrying an office bag.

Fang Jun was stunned when he saw Xu Chen, then turned around and saw Brother Bing walking towards the rest room.

She suddenly narrowed her cold single-lidded eyes and said in a cold voice:
"What are you two doing here secretly?"

Xu Chen was speechless:

"How can it be sneaky? It's open and aboveboard!"

……

……

Fang Jun was indeed here to do some work. The nursery company had two projects that needed to be settled, so he took advantage of the lunch break to come here and take care of them.

As she turned on the computer, she asked:
"How do we deal with Li Fengfeng's matter?"

Xu Chen: "Of course I will expose it."

Fang Jun thought for a moment:
"It may not be possible to prove occupational infringement. It depends on the actual operation of 'Ekla Culture Communication'."

Xu Chen nodded:

"He split up the project and transferred money from one hand to the other. Even if it does not constitute occupational infringement, he will definitely lose his job."

He smiled again:
"I also have to make sure he doesn't make it in the advertising industry."

Fang Jun sat in front of the computer and started working:
"Then once you've dealt with it, tell me the situation. I'm also curious about the final result."

Xu Chen smiled and nodded.

Fang Jun: "Don't be late this afternoon. Sister Yue worked until 2 a.m. to finish the arrangement, and she started working again early this morning."

Xu Chen: "Don't worry, there's still time."

……

In the reception room, Xu Chen sat back in front of the computer.

He thought about it and decided not to have any direct negotiation with Li Fengfeng in the group, but instead created a small group of three people.

In the group are Gu Xinxin and Zhao Nan, the marketing director of Renhe.

Xu Chen originally considered communicating with Gu Xinxin first, and then letting Gu Xinxin decide which leader to report to.

But he hesitated and decided to directly contact the marketing director Zhao Nan.

One consideration is that Li Fengfeng was playing tricks in the project, and it is impossible to be sure whether there were people inside Renhe Pharmaceutical who took kickbacks and "favored" him.

If there is, it is impossible to confirm whether it is Gu Xinxin.

Although Gu Xinxin is Guo Liang's apprentice and Guo Liang has a high opinion of her character, Xu Chen has not had much contact with her after all.

Zhao Nan is the number one person in the marketing department of Renhe Pharmaceutical and is also the overall person in charge of this advertising project. It is naturally most appropriate to communicate with her.

And the marketing director Zhao Nan would definitely not have any "collusion" with Li Fengfeng.

A mid-level leader of a large domestic pharmaceutical company would never risk his career for a small profit from a small supplier...

Xu Chen created a small group of three people and said in the group:

[@赵楠赵总@谷鑫鑫, there are indeed some problems with the Black Duke's quotation:

When reviewing the quotation in Yangcheng, Dongchen took photos for record.

I compared the photos I had on file with the quotation sheet that Heiju just sent me, and found obvious discrepancies in the items.

The cost involved is about three hundred thousand...】

Xu Chen reorganized the photos he had kept and the quotation details in the email and sent them to the small group.

Then he carefully marked the specific items, amounts, etc. that came in and out.

Soon, the group received a reply from Gu Xinxin.

[Teacher Xu Chen, let me confirm:
The quotation submitted by Heiju for your signature and review is inconsistent with the quotation in today's email. Does it mean that the other party made private modifications after your review?

But that is a scanned copy of a signed document, how could it be modified? 】

Xu Chen replied:
[Scanned copies are just pictures and can be modified using software. If necessary, you can ask a professional organization to identify them. It is not difficult to distinguish them.]

Gu Xinxin: [I checked and the overall project amount has not changed. It is still within the budget quotation range of the contract. What is the significance of Heiju's modification? ]

Xu Chen: [The several items involved in the changes are all related to the third-party company "Ekla Culture Communication".

I just found our financial teacher and checked through the industrial and commercial registration channels. The legal person of this company is named "Li Fufen".

The unconfirmed information I accidentally obtained is that Mr. Li Fengfeng’s real name is Li Fufen, which needs to be confirmed by Renhe. 】

The reason why Xu Chen took "a while" to reply to the message was naturally to leave some time for the "verification".

Otherwise, if you point out detailed problems right after receiving the email, it will seem too deliberate and make people doubt your real purpose.

……

At this point, everything that needs to be said has been said.

Even someone who doesn't understand can see what Li Fengfeng is doing.

This was clearly done without the knowledge of both Renhe and Heijue, with the intention of inserting a third-party subcontracting company registered by himself into the project in order to gain benefits for himself.

Any Party A unit that discovers this kind of thing will definitely not ignore it.

Xu Chen waited for a few minutes, and then Gu Xinxin called him directly.

Holding his cell phone, he walked to the door of the reception room and looked outside. He found that Xie Bingran had changed into the red and white national team uniform and was greeting Fang Jun.

Xu Chen gestured to the two of them while holding up his cell phone, meaning that he wanted to make a call.

Then he closed the door and pressed the on button.

"Teacher Xu Chen, our CEO Zhao Nan is here with me!"

Zhao Nan's voice was heard from the other end of the phone:

"Hello, Mr. Xu Chen. I'm with Gu Xinxin. The content you posted is quite sensitive. We'll call you directly to discuss it."

Xu Chen: "Hello, Mr. Zhao! I have already sent the information I found to the group.

These are all factual situations, and the photos I provide here can be verified...

Of course, these photos and quotation details are no longer important. The legal representative of Ekra Culture Communication is Li Fengfeng, which speaks volumes. Of course, this is only verified by my financial teacher, and you still need to verify and confirm it...

If this is true, it is not legal to split and subcontract projects in this way in the advertising industry.

I think Heijue Marketing must also prohibit employees from doing this kind of private operations...

In addition, if we look at the more than 300,000 yuan involved in this "Ekra", the specific expenditure details and output will soon become clear."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and Marketing Director Zhao Nan said:

"Teacher Xu Chen, is there any problem with shooting materials related to the spokesperson?"

Xu Chen thought about it and instantly understood what the other party meant.

For the brand Fang Renhe Pharmaceutical, the biggest concern at the moment is whether the filming of the commercial will be affected, and whether it will interfere with the production of the film and the launch of the commercial in the future.

Another possible consideration is whether it will affect subsequent work if Renhe points out and investigates the matter now.

Xu Chen paused and said:
“There is no problem with the filming of the commercial material, and I have confirmed every shot according to the script.

At the same time, Ekla is actually involved in the production of the commercial, and the follow-up is mainly part of the post-production...

Even if Li Fengfeng withdraws from the project now, it will not affect the production of this commercial.

After all, as the producer, Heiju Marketing has the obligation to arrange another team and resources to complete the post-production work.

In addition, I have not yet given any feedback to Li Fengfeng and Hei Jue regarding the problems I have discovered. I just informed you two of them as soon as possible.

This is also for project safety considerations. The final right of disposal still lies with the brand..."

To put it bluntly, it is actually equivalent to taking a step back verbally:
Dealing with Li Fengfeng now will not affect the project, but it is still up to you to decide whether to deal with him or not.

After all, Xu Chen cannot be too aggressive in front of Team A.

Zhao Nan said:

“As Party A, we will definitely investigate this matter to the end!
I will report this to Mr. Lu later. Given Mr. Lu's temper, he can't suppress this matter at all and will probably report it to Mr. Heiju's boss right away.

Fortunately, we trusted Hei Jue so much and handed over such an important project to him. I never expected that there would be a rat in the project team..."

Xu Chenming had done everything he should do, so it was not convenient for him to say anything more.

His purpose from the beginning to the end was very simple, which was to get rid of Li Fengfeng.

In his previous life, Xu Chen worked under Li Fengfeng. As a corporate animal who had just entered the workplace, he had personally experienced "workplace bullying".

What's more, there was the matter of Li Fengfeng plagiarizing the advertising work.

In his previous life, Xu Chen failed to find an opportunity to bring down Li Fengfeng. After his rebirth, he eliminated Li Fengfeng from the advertising circle, preventing him from harming more young people. This could be considered a good deed.

……

Zhao Nan paused, then continued:

"We will immediately check the company 'Ekla' to see if it is confirmed to be owned by Li Fengfeng.

Once confirmed, I will report to General Manager Lu and then initiate investigation.

Teacher Xu Chen, if I need your cooperation at that time, I may still have to trouble you to help me. "

"No problem! I was commissioned by the Renhe brand to 'supervise' this commercial, which is also my job. If you need my cooperation, Mr. Zhao will tell you."

He paused, and then deliberately showed a hint of embarrassment:
"Of course, after all, we are still in the advertising circle, and I don't want to blatantly make enemies with others..."

On the phone, Zhao Nan replied:
"Teacher Xu Chen, rest assured, we will try our best to get you out if possible!

Try not to cause any direct or indirect conflict between you, Li Fengfeng, and Hei Jue."

Xu Chen: "Okay, thank you Mr. Zhao for your understanding!"

The consideration here is naturally to make oneself not too conspicuous.

Cutting off someone's money is like killing one's parents.

When dealing with things like this, always just be a "behind-the-scenes mastermind" and expose yourself as little as possible. This will ultimately help you avoid unnecessary trouble and risks.

Zhao Nan spoke again:

"Teacher Xu Chen, I still want to express my gratitude to you for this matter!
Without your careful review, we would not have discovered the tricks that Mr. Li had used in the project.

To be honest, we, the client, are not professional in the details of advertising production and execution, and we don’t even review very detailed quotations one by one.

Maybe this is why some people dare to do small things in private...

In short, I would like to thank Teacher Xu Chen and Dongchen Advertising very much.

This time, our brand has avoided unnecessary losses and also ensured the quality of the commercial..."

Zhao Nan said a lot of words of thanks, and it could be heard that she was not just being polite.

Xu Chen thought for a moment and asked casually:

"Does Renhe have a colleague who is specifically responsible for reviewing the quotation for this project?"

There was a pause on the other end of the line.

Zhao Nan and Gu Xinxin immediately understood what Xu Chen said.

Yes, Li Fengfeng dared to do this blatantly. Is there someone inside Renhe who took advantage of him and cooperated with him?

Zhao Nan paused for a moment before replying:

"We have a colleague in our team, Liu Huachun, who is responsible for reviewing quotations...

Thank you, Mr. Xu Chen, for reminding us. We will also investigate more risks internally. "

Xu Chen thought about it and realized that he had met this Liu Huachun before during the last competition in Shanghai. He was a young man who came with Gu Xinxin to greet him.

He had done what he was supposed to do, so he said no more.

……

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chen thought about it again.

There is almost no doubt that Li Fengfeng will lose his job this time.

And not only did he lose his job at Heiju, Xu Chen also confirmed that he would not be able to find any job in the advertising industry in the future.

It's just a matter of letting the bullet fly for a while.

If it can be confirmed as "job infringement", his career will be ruined...

……

……

Xu Chen put away his computer, feeling somewhat proud.

With just a few moves, he avenged his past life and purified the advertising industry at the same time!

I looked at the time and it was almost time to go to the event.

He walked to the door of the reception room and looked up to see Xie Bingran sitting on a chair next to Fang Jun, seemingly in a daze out of boredom.

Xu Chen pretended to be serious and said:
"Brother Bing, you still have to come over for a moment. Let's review the speech later!"

Xie Bingran said "Oh", stood up and walked over.

After she walked into the reception room, Xu Chen closed the door and locked it.

Xie Bingran looked puzzled:
"I have finished reading the speech. Do I need to revise it?"

Xu Chen grabbed her waist and held her in his arms:
"No need to change, I'm just looking for a reason to bring you back...

"

Xie Bingran threw herself into Xu Chen's arms, pursing her lips but revealing a trace of grievance:
"The coach just sent me a message saying he's going to take me away tonight."

As she spoke, she hugged him tighter.
