Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 237 Hammered to Death
It was around nine o'clock in the evening, the alcohol had worn off a little, and we were ready to leave.

Xu Chen and Li Rui helped Xu Zhiquan and Feng Wenjiang into the car and then took them to the town.

Fang Jun was still drunk and started singing while holding Wu Yue's arm.

Wu Yue, with a speechless look on his face, dragged her into the car, a white hatchback Chery Fengyun.

In the past few years, this Fengyun model, which costs 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, has also helped Chery become a mainstream sedan company in China...

Xu Chen returned to the table and glanced at Wu Feifei and Huang Qianqian.

Both of them had red faces, but seemed to be sober.

"Let's go and send the two young ladies home."

Wu Feifei responded, but her speech was a little lisp.

"You guys wait here, I'll move the car over."

……

After a while, Xu Chen drove the Magotan over, parked the car, got out, and opened the back door.

The two little girls staggered a little and got into the car.

Xu Chen walked to the nearby store and bought two boxes of fresh milk, then walked back to the car and handed the milk to the back seat.

Huang Qianqian was in better condition and gave their addresses.

Xu Chen released the handbrake and drove out.

……

Wu Feifei and Huang Qianqian live not far from each other, both in the city center.

Wu Feifei stuck out her tongue and said to Huang Qianqian:
"Why don't you sleep at my house tonight? My parents are not at home!"

Huang Qianqian thought about it, but said excitedly:

"Okay! Then I'll send a message to my mom!"

Wu Feifei also took out her phone:

"I'll send a message to your mother too, in case she doesn't believe you."

Huang Qianqian: “This is the best!”

Xu Chen held the steering wheel without saying a word, thinking that this was a good thing, he only needed to make one trip.

Huang Qianqian looked at Xu Chen in the front row and suddenly said:
"Xu Chen, I'm so envious of your relationship with your dad!"

Xu Chen: "What's there to envy?"

Huang Qianqian: "I feel like the way you two get along is very good, more like friends than father and son."

Xu Chen smiled and said, "Maybe my dad is more open-minded."

He suddenly remembered that Fang Jun seemed to have said something similar.

Wu Feifei seemed to be half asleep and half awake, and suddenly spoke with a thick tongue:

"Xu Chen, are you with Brother Bing?

If we weren't together, I would have gone after Brother Bing!"

Huang Qianqian: “???”

Xu Chen: “…”

Ten minutes later, the car drove into a compound in the city center.

The courtyard looks inconspicuous from the outside, but once the car drives in, it is shaded by dense trees, the internal roads are wide and flat, and there are security guards patrolling back and forth.

After parking the car downstairs, Xu Chen walked out of the driver's seat and helped open the back door.

The two girls got off the car and seemed to be in good condition.

Wu Feifei showed her carefree side and patted Xu Chen on the shoulder:

"Bye, Master Xu. I'm very happy to be with you in Yangcheng!"

She staggered again, and Huang Qianqian hurried over to support her.

After watching the two people go upstairs, Xu Chen got into the car again and turned around to drive out.

……

Instead of driving back to town, he went to his office in the Jinfeng Building to sleep for the night.

I have to return the rental car tomorrow morning, and I also have an appointment with Chen Dahai for dinner.

I have already informed my father Xu Zhiquan and will be home tomorrow afternoon.

……

Ten minutes later, Xu Chen returned to the office.

There was no bathroom, so I just washed up briefly.

I returned to the lounge yawning and saw the wolf-dog doll lying on the bed.

Xu Chen couldn't help but smile, he held the big dog in his arms, and lay comfortably on the bed.

Although the Big Dog doll is very comfortable to hug, it is not as comfortable as the real Bing Ge.

……

……

The next day I slept until around nine o'clock.

I went to the refrigerator to get some fruit, washed it and ate it, when my phone suddenly vibrated.

Xu Chen picked it up and saw that it was Gu Xinxin calling.

"Teacher Xu Chen, we have carefully checked the reimbursement of Heiju Marketing...

That company, Akra Culture Communication, is indeed Li Fengfeng’s own company.

In addition, in our previous project with Heiju Marketing, Li Fengfeng also used Ekra Culture to steal some fees from the project.”

Xu Chen remained silent.

Naturally, he was not surprised by this.

“We asked someone in the industry to take a closer look and found that the price quoted by the Ekra company was inflated.

Not to mention the fact that they cut corners on materials, the inflated quote alone shows a lot of problems.”

Xu Chen did not comment, just responded twice and waited for the other party to continue.

Gu Xinxin then went on to explain in detail the situations on several projects. There was already very concrete evidence, and the matter was already very clear.

Li Fengfeng set up a fictitious company and used subcontracting to eat up part of the costs of the advertising project he was responsible for.

Renhe Pharmaceutical and Heiju Marketing have already collaborated on four or five projects of varying sizes, all of which were mainly led by Li Fengfeng.

In three of the projects, Li Fengfeng’s related operations were found.

Gu Xinxin paused for a moment, then continued:

"Our CEO Lu is very angry. He has already called the boss of Black Duke Marketing and had a very serious conversation..."

Xu Chen was stunned:
"and then?"

Gu Xinxin: "This is why I called Teacher Xu Chen...

The response from Heiju Marketing was a bit ambiguous and perfunctory, and they did not deal with the matter immediately.

This made Mr. Lu very angry.

We are preparing to draft a formal communication letter and are considering taking legal action.”

Xu Chen frowned. This was very unexpected:
"Which boss of Black Duke Marketing did Mr. Lu contact?"

Gu Xinxin: “Their general manager is Wang Longchao.

We are also discussing whether Wang Longchao was personally involved.

But this is too strange. He is the general manager of the company, and he would not do this for a little profit..."

She paused and then said:
"We are currently drafting a formal communication letter. Our CEO Zhao Nan asked me to contact Teacher Xu Chen first to see if you have any suggestions or something."

Xu Chen was silent for a while.

He thought about it for a moment and came up with some guesses.

Xu Chen naturally knew Wang Longchao, the general manager of Heiju Marketing.

When I joined Heiju Marketing in my previous life, Wang Longchao was the general manager, and I had met him at several employee meetings.

According to what Gu Xinxin said just now, Mr. Lu directly called to complain, and Wang Longchao responded ambiguously, which means he was protecting Li Fengfeng.

Then there are two possibilities.

One reason is that they are afraid of the external impact of this matter and do not want it to affect the reputation and word of mouth of Heiju Marketing. After all, if this matter is confirmed, it may also affect other customers and other projects.

Perhaps in Wang Longchao's view, no matter whether the matter was handled or not, Renhe Pharmaceutical had already lost this customer and there would be no more cooperation in the future.

But if Li Fengfeng's story is true, it will affect Heiju's reputation in the industry. In addition, if Xu Chen remembers correctly, Heiju Marketing should have been planning to go public in the domestic capital market in the past few years.

In 06, there were no listed advertising companies in China.

Currently, Nanyue Advertising and Heiju Marketing are both trying to enter the domestic capital market to see who can become the first local advertising company to go public.

If this matter were to spread to the market, the impact could be big or small...

Apart from the above, there is another possibility that is a bit "bloody".

That is the personal relationship between Wang Longchao and Li Fengfeng.

When Xu Chen was working at Heiju Marketing in his previous life, rumors spread in the company that Wang Longchao and Li Fengfeng had a close relationship.

Otherwise, Li Fengfeng would be arrogant and domineering in the company, bullying his subordinates, and even openly plagiarizing his subordinates' ideas to win awards...

All these operations have no impact on his work and promotion. The most direct explanation is that there is someone in the management who is "protecting him".

There were many different versions of the relationship between Wang Longchao and Li Fengfeng at that time.

Some say that the two are relatives, while others say that they are "good friends."

At that time, Xu Chen had just entered society and was completely unable to understand the gay circle.

Later, after working in the advertising circle for a few years, I realized that there are many "gay men" in the advertising creative industry.

However, Wang Longchao and Li Fengfeng still found it a little unbelievable.

After all, it is hard to imagine that Li Fengfeng is a person with poor appearance and figure...

But now that I think about it, Li Fengfeng does fit the appearance of a "bear" in that circle.

Although it's a bit cliché, it seems to be a possibility.

……

Xu Chen thought about it and asked again on the phone:
“What is the expected content of your communication letter?”

Gu Xinxin: "The whole story and relevant evidence, as well as our demands, including compensation for existing and previous projects, etc."

Xu Chen: "Where is the recipient of the letter?"

Gu Xinxin: "On the Black Duke Marketing side, it's mainly Li Fengfeng's direct supervisor and their general manager Wang Longchao."

Xu Chen: "I'll give you two more email addresses, you can copy them."

Xu Chen thought about it and explained it briefly:
“I have a friend in Black Jazz Marketing, so I have some understanding of the situation there.

One of the email addresses I gave you is from Chen Qimei, the head of Heiju’s internal audit department.

Heiju has been seeking to go public in recent years, and compliance is required in all aspects, so it has set up a special internal audit department. Chen Qimei was directly appointed by several directors.

There is another email address, which belongs to an independent director of Heiju. Although no public information can be found about it, he actually has a very strong say in the operation of Heiju.

There is no need to worry too much about this matter. Even if Wang Longchao wants to protect Li Fengfeng, he cannot do it openly.

Although he is the general manager, he is just an external manager.

Black Lord still has several major shareholders, and Wang Longchao cannot have the final say at all."

Gu Xinxin: "That's great..."

Xu Chen: “Go back and discuss this with Mr. Zhao and Mr. Lu.

My suggestion is to send a formal communication letter first and not rush into legal action.

The formal letter was copied to the internal auditor and independent directors, so Wang Longchao did not dare to act on his own.

If we take legal action now, I am worried about the subsequent production of the current commercial. After all, you haven’t received the final film yet, so don’t cause unnecessary losses.”

Gu Xinxin: "Okay, I understand! In fact, Mr. Zhao was also worried about this, so he asked me to call Teacher Xu Chen to discuss it with you..."

……

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chen sent the two email addresses.

Gu Xinxin politely replied with some words of thanks.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Xu Chen received a new email in his mailbox.

When I clicked on it, I saw that it was a communication letter sent by Renhe, and Gu Xinxin also copied himself.

Xu Chen took a closer look and found that Gu Xinxin's email was very well-written and of high quality.

……

After a while, Xu Chen received another call from Gu Xinxin.

"The email has been sent, and Teacher Xu Chen has also been copied." Gu Xinxin sounded a lot more relaxed.

"I have received it and am looking at it now."

Gu Xinxin paused:

"There is one more thing I want to tell you in private.

Teacher Xu Chen reminded us last time, and we also checked it internally in our company.

Liu Huachun from our marketing department did collude with Li Fengfeng.

He has been in charge of reviewing the quotation and settlement list for Heiju. He must have received some benefits from Li Fengfeng, so he ‘deliberately’ didn’t find any problems. ”

Xu Chen was not surprised. Li Fengfeng dared to do this, most likely he had someone cooperating with him.

Gu Xinxin: "Liu Huachun was fired yesterday afternoon...

In addition, I would like to personally thank Teacher Xu Chen."

Xu Chen smiled: "Why?"

Gu Xinxin said softly: "Liu Huachun has been competing with me for internal promotion qualifications...

In addition, I was the one who introduced Dongchen Advertising and Teacher Xu Chen to this project. My leader also praised me and has recommended me for promotion.

I really want to thank Teacher Xu Chen..."

Xu Chen: "You're welcome! It's also because of your outstanding ability.

I also want to thank your master Guo Liang, as he was the one who introduced us in the beginning."

Xu Chen asked casually:
"How is Mr. Guo doing recently? I haven't contacted him recently!"

Gu Xinxin:
"He seems to be not doing well recently..."

Xu Chen: “Ah?”

Gu Xinxin: "There is a new senior leader in their company who is in charge of regional market distribution.

The new official made three big moves upon taking office, introducing a bunch of new policies and a new KPI assessment mechanism, which caused chaos in all regions.

I guess Master is not feeling well either..."

Xu Chen thought about it and decided that this was a good thing for him.

I have always wanted to bring Guo Liang to Morningwind Technology, and this seems to be a good opportunity.

It just so happens that the production line has been arranged, and it is time to start working on matters related to marketing, sales, and distribution.

……

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chen ate some fruit, and a few more notifications flashed in his mailbox.

I clicked on it and saw that it was the communication letter that Gu Xinxin had just sent, and there were already several replies.

The first one was from Lu Wenhua, vice president of Renhe Pharmaceutical, in which he formally and sternly requested Heiju Marketing to respond and handle the matter.

The second one is the response from the independent director of Blacklord.

It was obvious that he was in a high position. He directly asked Wang Longchao to investigate and asked the internal audit department to intervene, and also copied the email to several other people.

Xu Chen flipped through it and guessed that the new people who were copied should also be the directors of Heiju Marketing and other people with a say.

The last one was the reply from General Manager Wang Longchao.

First, he apologized to the customer, which seemed sincere, and said that as the general manager, he had management responsibilities, etc...

The email also mentioned that Li Fengfeng had been suspended, and would be immediately dismissed once the investigation and work handover were completed.

There is also a long paragraph at the end, which is the subsequent disposal measures.

This includes re-arranging the project team, taking over the subsequent production of the commercial, and communicating compensation matters after the investigation, etc.

While Xu Chen was checking his emails, he received another reply.

A certain director leader of Heiju asked Wang Longchao not only to fire Li Fengfeng, but also to thoroughly investigate whether Li Fengfeng was involved in economic crimes and report the situation to the 4A Advertising Association.

The situation was reported to the 4A Advertising Association, which meant that if Li Fengfeng wanted to work in the advertising industry in the future, basically no company would dare to hire him...

Seeing the content of the email, Xu Chen couldn't help but smile.

Li Fengfeng, the disgusting boss I had encountered in my previous life...

Basically hammered to death.
