Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 238 Lamb Yain
The matter concerning Black Lord can come to an end for the time being.

The risks of that commercial were controllable, as all the footage had already been shot, and the subsequent production and editing were basically completed by the director team.

Xu Chen may help to oversee the production and make some suggestions for revisions, and then the case will be closed.

One thing left behind is the designer Amy Sun.

Xu Chenke still remembers this great designer.

Xu Chen thought about it and decided that it was crucial to have a good designer in the company. In addition to several design jobs related to Morningwind electric vehicles, they would also be needed for the subsequent Dongchen Advertising and Ranbing Sports...

Thinking of the progress of Morningwind Technology, Xu Chen directly sent a message to Sun Amy:
[Teacher Amy, I mentioned to you that I have a design project that I need your help with...

Are you free now? I'll call you to chat! 】

After waiting for a while, I received a reply from Sun Amy:

[Teacher Xu Chen, please wait a moment. I will call you directly later! ]

A few minutes later, Sun Amy called. I guess she was just looking for a suitable place to talk.

Xu Chen went straight to the point and briefly talked about the design requirements.

The main focus is on the design of the two logos: "Morning Wind Technology" and "Morning Wind Ice Power".

In addition, there is also a VI visual system provided by "Morning Breeze Technology", which covers core visual elements and supporting extended designs, etc.

Xu Chen's plan is to use this project to let Sun Amy understand his family's company and business, laying the groundwork for recruiting her later.

At the same time, I also want to use this project to judge Sun Amy's professional ability.

Although in her previous life, Sun Amy had been promoted to creative director within Black Duke, Xu Chen had never actually worked with her, so a little verification was still needed.

For two logos and a set of visual VI designs, Xu Chen offered a remuneration of 20,000 yuan after tax according to the current market price of "private work".

In 06, the general salary in the domestic advertising design industry was not high, and the price for designers to take private orders from outside was about a few thousand yuan or ten or twenty thousand yuan.

A more experienced designer may quote between 50,000 and 100,000 yuan.

But at this moment, Sun Amy had just graduated, and a salary of 20,000 yuan was already very good.

Xu Chen had already evaluated this.

It is not advisable to pay too much money, just a little higher than the normal price, otherwise you will be treated as a sucker.

In fact, if you ask an advertising company or design company like Heiju for a quote for such a complete set of visual designs, the starting price is usually 200,000 or 300,000 yuan.

The quote from a well-known domestic design company may even exceed one million.

Of course, it would be better to seek the services of a design company. Usually, you will be given several plans to choose from, and a design team will be provided to provide services.

But for Xu Chen, finding Sun Amy was enough.

Although his purpose was to evaluate the other party's business capabilities, Xu Chen was still confident in the design level of this future creative director.

……

Amy Sun: "Does Teacher Xu Chen have any time requirements?"

Xu Chen: "Let's see how long it takes for Teacher Amy to schedule. It's not urgent, but I hope we can have a relatively definite plan within August."

Amy Sun: "Then I need to review the projects I have on hand and then reply to Teacher Xu Chen."

Xu Chen: "No problem. If you are still worried, we can sign a formal design contract."

Amy Sun: "Of course I trust Teacher Xu Chen..."

Xu Chen smiled and said:
"Our products are not yet online, so our business needs to be kept confidential."

Sun Amy: "Teacher Xu Chen, rest assured. I understand the industry rules. I have the obligation to keep business confidentiality and will not disclose any information to third parties."

Xu Chen: "Teacher Amy doesn't need to finish the manuscript before showing it to me. You can discuss the initial ideas and process drafts with me. After all, I am also engaged in advertising and marketing."

Amy Sun: “No problem…

Actually, I feel a little pressure when working on Professor Xu Chen’s project, because I am afraid that I can’t meet your requirements.”

Xu Chen smiled and said, "That's too much. I'm not a designer by background, so I can only discuss strategy and creativity with you.

I will compile some written materials later, which are general introductions that can be released to the public, and send them to your email for your reference. "

Amy Sun: "Okay, I'll wait for your email."

……

……

Guangzhou, Heiju Marketing Office.

Sun Amy hung up the phone and turned to walk towards her workstation.

Of course I am very happy to be able to take on some private work and earn some extra money. After all, the salary of a low-level designer is only a few thousand yuan.

But she did feel some pressure working on Xu Chen's project.

Xu Chen's professional ability is still very impressive.

On the one hand, there is the advertising film project of Fuyanjie, and Sun Amy also participated in the pitch for Heiju Marketing.

She was originally very confident in Heiju's plan, but in the end she was defeated by Dongchen Advertising...

In addition, when Xu Chen was in Yangcheng a few days ago, Sun Amy also witnessed Xu Chen's professional ability in person.

At that time, the suggestions Xu Chen put forward regarding the modification of the commercial were all well-reasoned, and the abilities he demonstrated in business, communication, management, etc. were much higher than those of his supervisor Li Fengfeng.

……

Sun Amy had just sat back at her workstation when Chen Xiaolong, an account manager from the same team, came over from his chair and said in a low voice:
"Did something happen to Mr. Li?"

Amy Sun: "What's wrong?"

Chen Xiaolong: "You were not there for overtime last night, so Mr. Li was called in by the boss for a talk. When he came back, his face was very ugly, and he even broke a cup...

He just received a phone call, his face looked very ugly, and then he went to the boss's office..."

Sun Amy: "The boss likes him so much, what could happen?"

Chen Xiaolong:
"Could it be related to Fu Yanjie's project? He came back last night and asked me to sort out all the relevant quotation bills and correspondence emails and send them to him again..."

Sun Amy adjusted her round-frame glasses:

"You should know best whether there is any problem inside."

Chen Xiaolong curled his lips but didn't dare to respond.

……

General Manager's Office.

Wang Longchao, the general manager of marketing at Heiju, turned pale and put out his cigarette in the ashtray.

"I told you to keep it to yourself! Why would you covet such a small amount of money?!"

Li Fengfeng stood opposite, with a look of fear and horror on his face:
"Boss Wang...you have to save me..."

Wang Longchao was not happy:
"How can I save you?

The other party's email was sent directly to the internal auditor Chen Qimei, and was also copied to Boss Jimmy.

Boss Jimmy then sent the email to all directors...

If I continue to hide it for you, I will lose my job!"

Li Fengfeng blinked his eyes, and his already ugly fat face became even uglier.

He frowned and thought for a while:
"How do they know the contact information of Chen Qimei and Jimmy?
Not many people in the company know about this, right?!"

Wang Longchao put another cigarette in his mouth and also showed a puzzled expression:
“This is a strange thing.

The internal audit department has only been established for a few days...

Moreover, in order to facilitate private review, there is no plan to announce the information to employees below middle management within the company for half a year.

Boss Jimmy doesn’t come to the company once a year. He always gives orders remotely. Young employees may not have even seen him…”

He glanced at Li Fengfeng:
"Have you ever offended any of the company's directors or group directors?" Li Fengfeng thought for a moment.

"You helped me get rid of the two directors who didn't get along with me...

These directors now have no grudges against me. "

Wang Longchao: "This is really strange."

Li Fengfeng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Can I ask Renhe?"

Wang Longchao almost threw the ashtray on the table:
"How the hell do you want me to ask? I don't even have the face to answer Mr. Lu's call now!"

……

At noon.

The internal audit department bypassed Wang Longchao and directly intervened in the investigation of Li Fengfeng and the Renhe project.

Chen Xiaolong and Sun Aimy were interviewed separately and their detailed project information was transferred away.

At the same time, Li Fengfeng took advantage of the time when most people went downstairs to eat at noon, secretly came to the workstation, collected things, and left in shame.

But the news of Li Fengfeng's dismissal spread throughout the company in an instant.

Li Fengfeng would probably never know even if he racked his brains that this matter was related to Xu Chen, with whom he had only met in Yangcheng for two days.

……

……

Xu Chen was going to return the car in the afternoon, so he took the several pieces of luggage in the car to the office.

Mainly the dirty clothes brought back from Yangcheng, and of course the small suitcase for the national team that Xie Bingran gave him.

The small black canvas box has a small national flag printed on it. It is much more prestigious than Samsonite or Rimowa!

Xu Chen had an appointment with Chen Dahai and several other classmates to have lunch at noon, so he drove over directly.

One of my roommates was admitted to the "highest institution of learning" - Snow Region University. He has to go there in advance to adapt to the high-altitude environment and will leave next week.

So several roommates arranged a meal to see him off.

Naturally, students from inland areas would hardly apply to universities in the snowy areas.

The main reason is that this roommate’s family background is very ordinary and his grades are also average.

When applying to a university in the snowy region, the main reason is that after graduation, you can basically be "assigned" a stable job within the system, and there is not much pressure in terms of academics, employment, etc.

The price is that you need to stay in the snow area and build the snow area.

It can be said that from the moment he applied for the exam, the picture of his life for the next few decades was basically determined.

But overall, it is a good choice for this student from an ordinary family.

After all, if he stayed inland, he would only be able to attend a very bad college, and he might not even be able to find a stable job after graduation...

The only challenge is that he needs to use his body from the Central Plains to adapt to the natural environment at high altitudes, and it is unknown how long it will take him to fully adapt.

……

The dinner was scheduled at a mutton restaurant near No. 1 Middle School.

When Xu Chen arrived, the other six or seven roommates were already there.

As soon as they saw "Young Master Xu" come in, they greeted him warmly.

Chen Dahai even pulled Xu Chen to his side:
"Did you go to Yangcheng to watch Brother Bing's game? Why didn't you tell your brothers?"

Xu Chen: "How do you know?"

Chen Dahai put his arm around Xu Chen's shoulders:

"I saw you on TV! Even though it was just a flash, Master Xu's handsome face was easy to recognize!"

"..."

Xu Chen ignored Chen Dahai and first expressed his congratulations to his roommate who was admitted to Xuequ University.

He was a somewhat introverted boy, and he said thank you to Xu Chen in a slightly reserved manner.

The others contributed their ideas to help him "look forward to" life in the snowy area.

“Girls in the snowy area are great! They all have high noses and big eyes!

When you graduate, you can find a beautiful wife from LS!"

"Why are you looking for a wife? Let's find a few first to practice with in college!"

"We need to train our soldiers. I don't know if the oxygen concentration in the plateau can support high-intensity sports for men and women..."

"You need to keep up with the nutrition. Eat more mutton to replenish your body later!"

"Boss! Add another plate of lamb kidneys!"

……

The topic went off topic and the boy seemed a little embarrassed.

Chen Dahai ordered a dozen beers, but Xu Chen had to drive back later, so he replaced the beer with tea.

"Come to think of it, our dormitory rarely has dinner together. I can't believe we've already graduated."

Chen Dahai brought up this topic, but the scene became a little sad.

After they clinked glasses, Chen Dahai began laughing again.

Among the eight people, four stayed in the province and went to the provincial capital to study.

Just as Xu Chen remembered in his previous life, Chen Dahai was admitted to the Sports University in the provincial capital.

Following the path of his previous life, he stayed in the provincial capital after graduation and worked as a physical education teacher in an elementary school. He also fell in love with a music teacher from the same school, and their life was considered happy.

Four students were admitted to other provinces, including the student who went to the snowy area, and naturally including Xu Chen.

Xu Chen was admitted to a 985 prestigious university and went to study in Shanghai, which attracted waves of envy and compliments.

"I also want to go to Shanghai to study, but my score is too low, so I can only apply to a crappy school...

Besides, unlike Master Xu’s well-off family, I can’t afford the high consumption in Shanghai…”

"The girls in Shanghai are all so cute. I envy Master Xu!"

"Don't talk nonsense, or Brother Bing will come and kill you!"

"Boss, please add a plate of lamb kidneys for our Master Xu!"

……

Xu Chen was too lazy to respond to the deliberate teasing, and just smiled and focused on eating.

The mutton here tastes great, tender and tasty, with lots of gravy.

It’s a pity that Xie Bingran doesn’t dare to eat beef and mutton outside, so there’s no way to bring her here to taste it.

Brother Bing has returned to the team and should have started the hard and arduous training.

There is a TV on the counter of the store, and the local channel is broadcasting the anti-Japanese drama that is popular among middle-aged and elderly people.

There were advertisements interspersed in the middle, and suddenly the slogan "He is good, I am good too" was heard.

Xu Chen put down the lamb leg he was chewing, wiped his hands with a wet towel, took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Guo Liang:
[Mr. Guo, are you free recently? I helped you with the Renhe Pharmaceutical project last time, and I haven’t found a chance to treat you to a meal yet! ]

Guo Liang: [Teacher Xu, you are too polite. It is a bit too much to invite me to dinner. I will come to visit and ask for advice someday! ]

Xu Chen: [Is Mr. Guo free next week? Why don’t you come over to my dad’s factory and we can chat and drink tea.]

Guo Liang: [It’s such an honor! ]
