Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 339: Just a Small Project

Chapter 339: Just a Small Project
Monday morning, computer class.

I learned VB programming, which was a simple introduction to programming and not difficult.

A group of students were sitting in front of the computer. The professor named Gong who was giving a lecture at the podium was a middle-aged female teacher with simple dress, appearance and speech.

When classes just started at the beginning of the semester, no one paid much attention to this simple teacher until someone discovered that the editor-in-chief of the "College Computer" textbook used in the class was actually Professor Gong.

Most universities across the country also use this set of textbooks.

A group of freshmen who had never seen the world realized that the plain old lady in front of them was actually a big figure in the academic world.

So in the face of this boring course, I still paid a little attention to it.

……

Xu Chen finished the programming homework in class early, then opened a document and began to write down the creative ideas for the two winning works of the "Daguan Competition".

This is what the department head Ni Zhi wanted. He said that it would be used to explain cases to the third and fourth year students, so we should take it seriously.

Xu Chen did not give a long speech. He just picked out the core strategies and creative logic and compiled a one-page plain text document, which he sent to Professor Ni Zhi's email.

……

During the break, Jeep brand manager Yan Chuan sent a message saying that he had booked flights for Xu Chen and Wu Feifei for Wednesday.

I flew to Pengcheng in the morning and arrived at Vanke headquarters at two o'clock in the afternoon to hold a PPM meeting with the founder Wang Shi.

The flight returned that evening.

BBDO Liu Wenqin and director Bao Junsen's team will go there a day in advance, and their schedule will be separate from Dongchen Advertising.

After Xu Chen received the itinerary, he immediately forwarded it to Wu Feifei.

Wu Feifei is obviously very excited and looking forward to her first business trip in her life:

[Copy that, boss! 】

[Do I need to wear formal clothes? Do I need to prepare a document or something...]

Xu Chen: [Just dress a little more formally, don’t be too deliberate.

We are a creative advertising company, so we don’t need to be too rigid…

You don't need to prepare anything extra, just attend the meeting on the day. If you have any special requirements, I will tell you separately. 】

Xu Chen actually had nothing to worry about taking Wu Feifei on a business trip.

This time, it was mainly director Bao Junsen's team that reported on their proposals, and Dongchen Advertising was mainly there to "listen in".

In addition, Wu Feifei has a generous and cheerful personality and high emotional intelligence, so she is not likely to get into trouble.

The girl is pretty and smart, and can help Dongchen Advertising to maintain its reputation.

Wu Feifei asked again in the message:

[I'll come over after class this afternoon. I'm going to have a meeting with Yichun. Do you need me to prepare anything? ]

Xu Chen: [No need to prepare, today we just need to talk about the other party’s needs. ]

Wu Feifei: [Okay! I have confirmed that the “friend of his father” that Jiao Tianbo mentioned is my father’s former subordinate.

Her name is Lou Ting, and she happens to be working in the Propaganda Department of Yichun City...】

Xu Chen: [Will she feel scared when meeting with her former boss's daughter?]

Wu Feifei: [Not really…]

Xu Chen thought, it would be strange if he wasn't scared.

There is still a big difference between the system and the workplace.

Even if they are "former leaders" who serve in different provinces and cities, you still have to respect and fear them, and even maintain the relationship with them from time to time.

Within the system, “former leaders” are also regarded as a person’s important network assets.

Especially those like Wu Yongming, who have already been promoted to a certain level but still have the potential to continue to "improve".

……

noon.

Xu Chen, who was about to go to the cafeteria to eat, was stopped by Jiao Tianbo from behind.

"I have already made an appointment for the conference call. We can just find an empty classroom after class this afternoon." Jiao Tianbo said.

Xu Chen: "Just go to my company. There is another colleague who wants to join us."

Jiao Tianbo: “Colleague?”

He was really a little surprised.

I had heard before that Xu Chen had a company, but I just thought he was just registering a company and doing some small things.

I didn’t expect that there are “colleagues”?
If Xu Chen himself is the boss, then he is his subordinate employee...

But he is just a freshman, who would be willing to work for him?
Xu Chen smiled mysteriously: "You know this colleague!"

Jiao Tianbo looked confused.

When Xu Chen said Wu Feifei's name, Jiao Tianbo's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

He swayed and didn't know where to put his hands.

The "Academic Master" never expected that the goddess Wu Feifei, whom he wanted to meet but couldn't, was actually in Xu Chen's company and became an "intern" under Xu Chen...

Xu Chen saw what Jiao Tianbo was thinking, but was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he explained with a smile:
“Wu Feifei just happened to be looking for an internship, so she contacted me.

It happened last week, and I didn’t have time to tell you…”

Jiao Tianbo said “oh oh” a few times before he calmed down a little.

But when he thought about meeting Wu Feifei in the afternoon, he became nervous again:

"She knows...I'll be here this afternoon too, right?"

Xu Chen: "I told her."

Jiao Tianbo: "Okay, okay...

Do you want me to find a place to eat this afternoon?"

Xu Chen: "No, we can just pack some food from the cafeteria and eat after the conference call."

Jiao Tianbo: "Alright... I'll pay for Feifei's meal."

"..."

Jiao Tianbo still looked a little nervous, Xu Chen asked again:
"Who is the leader on the other end of the afternoon telephone conference?"

Jiao Tianbo was stunned for a moment, and then he said after he recovered:

“Across the street is the Yichun City Propaganda Department.

Attending the meeting today are Director Lou Ting from there, who is also the person in charge of this project.

Director Lou’s boss is Secretary Ding Guoqiang, so he will not attend this afternoon’s meeting.”

Xu Chen: "So your father's former colleague is this Director Lou?"

Jiao Tianbo: “Yes.”

Xu Chen paused, and seeing that Jiao Tianbo didn't react, he deliberately reminded him:

"Wu Feifei will also attend the afternoon meeting. Do you think you need to say hello to Director Lou in advance?"

Jiao Tianbo was stunned for a moment before he understood the key point and said quickly:
"Yes...I really need to tell Director Lou about this in advance."

This Director Lou Ting is naturally Wu Yongming's former subordinate.

It was naturally part of Xu Chen's plan to let Lou Ting know that Wu Feifei would also attend the meeting.

With Wu Feifei, the "daughter of a leader" in charge, Lou Ting would naturally pay more attention to Dongchen Advertising, and would naturally look at the proposals put forward by Dongchen Advertising more carefully.

The currently known information about this project is obtained from Jiao Tianbo, and the actual situation is still unknown.

What Xu Chen was worried about was that the other party only agreed to let Jiao Tianbo participate in this project out of personal favor.

Although Jiao Tianbo is a "top student", he is unreliable in every aspect...

It is very likely that Director Lou on the other side is not optimistic about the solution that Jiao Tianbo can provide.

As a result, people will naturally look down on Dongchen Advertising, which was recommended by Jiao Tianbo in the past.

However, with Wu Feifei, the daughter of a leader, in charge, this contempt and deception can be dispelled invisibly.

At least, the other party will carefully examine Dongchen Advertising's proposal and will not hastily give a negative conclusion.

Although Xu Chen didn't take this project too seriously, he just wanted to do it...

But since I have spent the effort to do it, I should try my best to get it done.

Jiao Tianbo calmed down a little and said:
"Then I'll go call Director Lou first."

Xu Chen smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead!"

……

In the afternoon, there are two professional courses of our college, which happen to be in the Xiaohuang Building in the South Campus, which is closer to the company.

Xu Chen staggered into the classroom and found that his classmates were looking up at him, and many of them had strange expressions on their faces.

He was somewhat puzzled, but after sitting back in his seat he gradually realized that perhaps it was still a matter of winning the two national first prizes in the “Grand Broadcasting Competition”.

It seems that these two first prizes have put some psychological pressure on my classmates.

In the afternoon, there was a photography class and a new media theory class. When the two teachers called the roll, they unsurprisingly took a few more glances at Xu Chen.

It seems that the two national first prizes won by "Xu Dacai" have attracted widespread attention among the teachers in the college.

……

between classes.

Xu Chen still specifically looked for the class monitor Min Siyi and apologized to her in person for not attending the "class committee" over the weekend.

"How much is the afternoon tea on Saturday? It's agreed that I'll treat you!" Xu Chen said with a smile.

Min Siyi: "No need, Mr. Xu, you treat me next time!"

Xu Chen felt a little helpless. Why did he feel that "Xu the Talented Man" had become his nickname?

He put on a good-natured smile and said:

"Then I'll treat you to a meal and a glass of milk tea at the next class committee meeting!"

Min Siyi looked very happy: "Okay, you said it!"

……

In the evening, the academy cafeteria.

Xu Chen and Jiao Tianbo lined up to pack their dinner.

Jiao Tianbo took the initiative to help Wu Feifei serve the food. He looked serious and took a long time to choose.

The two men came out from the food line, each carrying two large bags of food.

Jiao Tianbo was puzzled and said:

"How come you bought more than me? I already bought Feifei's."

Xu Chen: "There are two other colleagues as well. I bought it together."

Jiao Tianbo widened his eyes and looked surprised again.

There are actually two employees in Xu Chen’s company?
Is he serious about starting a business?
……

……

Tonghai Creative Design Building, 8th floor.

As soon as Xu Chen entered the office, Sun Amy and Gu Xinxin, who were busy, called him "Boss" with a smile.

Xu Chen placed a package of food on the table in the lounge area:
"You two eat first!"

Gu Xinxin: "Don't worry, boss. Let's go together after you finish the meeting!"

Xu Chen smiled and said, "That's fine!"

He turned around and pointed behind him: "This is my classmate, Jiao Tianbo."

Gu Xinxin and Sun Amy stood up and walked over, and tried to get to know Jiao Tianbo seriously.

Jiao Tianbo was still holding food in his hands. He looked flustered and even stuttered when he spoke.

This confident and self-important "nerd" was still confused and surprised when he saw Xu Chen's office and his two subordinates.

It turns out that when Xu Chen said he was starting a company, he really wasn't joking.

He has such a spacious and luxurious office, and even some employees who look very senior call him "boss" respectfully.

The arrogant "academic master" suddenly felt a sense of inferiority.

At the same time, he felt that his original contempt for Xu Chen seemed somewhat ridiculous and absurd.

……

"Where is Feifei?" Xu Chen asked.

Before Sun Amy and Gu Xinxin could reply, Wu Feifei's voice came from the conference room:
"I'm here!"

She leaned out half of her body, smiling sweetly and beautifully.

Jiao Tianbo was stunned for a moment, and then looked embarrassed and nervous.

Wu Feifei was very generous and took the initiative to greet Jiao Tianbo:

"Long time no see, Jiao Tianbo!"

The "scholar brother" then smiled shyly:

"Fei Fei, long time no see. I bought you dinner..."

Xu Chen: "Let's talk business first."

……

meeting room.

In addition to Jiao Tianbo and Wu Feifei, Xu Chen also called Gu Xinxin. If the project really needs to be promoted later, it will be more reassuring to have Gu Xinxin's help.

Jiao Tianbo has already dialed the number of the Propaganda Department of Yichun City.

The "nerd brother" calmed down a little and introduced the two sides.

In addition to Director Lou Ting, there were two other colleagues from the Propaganda Department, but none of them had as much experience and rank as Lou Ting.

Jiao Tianbo also specifically introduced "General Manager of Dongchen Advertising" Xu Chen, "Account Director" Gu Xinxin, and "Account Manager" Wu Feifei.

This is all read out from the business card.

Lou Ting, who was sitting opposite, first politely greeted Xu Chen and Gu Xinxin, and then enthusiastically tried to get close to Wu Feifei.

"Hello Feifei, I wonder if you still remember Aunt Lou?

One year during the Spring Festival, our company organized an event and we met at a dinner party, but you were still young at that time..."

Wu Feifei: "Hello, Director Lou, of course I remember, my father mentioned you before..."

Lou Ting: "Really? Is Director Wu okay now?
No...Now you have to call him Mayor Wu!"

……

Lou Ting naturally responded with compliments and praise without showing it, and Wu Feifei was also very open and didn't avoid anything, being well-behaved and open.

Xu Chen listened silently at the side and looked at "Miss Wu" with a wicked smile.

Wu Feifei looked helpless, but still responded politely to Director Lou on the other end of the phone.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a long time before finally getting to the point.

Director Lou began to introduce the project background and promotion needs, and started with a long paragraph of official documents.

In response to the spirit of something, under the guidance of something, led by something, launching a general propaganda offensive...

After hearing this, Xu Chen also felt a little drowsy.

Wu Feifei and Xu Chen exchanged glances and smiled helplessly.

However, Jiao Tianbo listened very carefully and even took out a pen and paper to take notes.

After Director Lou talked a lot, he gradually got to the point.

This project was jointly initiated by the Publicity Department and Tourism Bureau of Yichun City. The person in charge is the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee who is in charge of Yichun's publicity work.

The overall demand is similar to what Jiao Tianbo said before.

The main purpose is to increase the popularity of Yichun and promote Yichun’s local tourism resources.

The core is a tourist attraction called "Mingyue Mountain".

Director Lou Ting gave a careful introduction to the scenery of Mingyue Mountain and several other tourist resources.

In addition, in addition to the promotion goal of promoting tourism resources, there is also an implicit demand for "attracting investment".

And this may be the key.

In the context of promoting economic development, Yichun naturally also needs extensive investment attraction.

But the reality is that, apart from the locals in Jiangxi Province, almost no one in the country has heard of the city "Yichun", let alone entrepreneurs and investors in Hong Kong Island, Taiwan Island and even overseas.

Therefore, this promotion is very necessary to increase the visibility of Yichun City.

……

After listening to Lou Ting's introduction, Xu Chen had a rough idea in his mind.

No wonder Yichun in its previous life chose such a controversial slogan as "A City Calling Spring". It seems that the desire to increase its "popularity" was indeed very strong.

And from Lou Ting's few words, it can be seen that the final decision maker of this project should be the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.

He also attaches great importance to Yichun’s popularity and investment attraction.

In this way, Xu Chen felt more at ease.

There is a high probability that the other party will be willing to accept the "moaning" plan.

However, it still needs to be carefully packaged and a relatively complete packaging plan should be produced to eliminate the overly controversial parts.

Then you still need to use your brain and think about it...

Finally, Director Lou Ting added:

"For this project, we have applied for a total planning budget of 300,000 to 500,000 yuan.

The most important thing is a promotional slogan for Yichun City. If adopted, the cost would be 300,000 yuan.

In addition, we also hope to have a more complete publicity and promotion plan. If we can provide it and be selected, the upper limit of the budget will be 500,000 yuan. "

This just happened to be in line with Xu Chen's plan.

"Director Lou, no problem. We will come up with a relatively complete plan." Xu Chen said.

Lou Ting added:
“There could be a few more options for that slogan.

To be honest with Mr. Xu, we have collected hundreds of them, and other planning companies also helped us out, but the leaders didn't like any of them.

The most important thing is that sentence. "

Xu Chen: “No problem, we’ll add a few more.

In terms of time, does Director Lou have any requirements?"

Lou Ting: "Of course the sooner the better. We have been tormented on this plan for more than half a year, and our leaders are pushing us very hard.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and we hope that everything can be settled down soon.”

She paused:

"Mr. Xu, do you think a week is enough time to prepare a plan?"

Before Xu Chen replied, Jiao Tianbo showed some anxiety and looked up at Xu Chen.

What this obviously means is that one week is too tight.

But Xu Chen wanted to strike while the iron was hot and finish the project quickly.

Some previous projects deliberately delayed the preparation time because they were afraid that the other party would not pay enough attention to the proposals made by Dongchen Advertising. But now with Wu Feifei, the "leader's daughter", in charge, they are naturally not afraid that the other party will not pay attention.

At least the plan will be carefully reviewed.

"A week is fine. Then we'll submit our proposal next Friday."

"Okay, thank you so much, Mr. Xu!"

……

After finishing the conversation, Lou Ting exchanged a few polite words with Wu Feifei before hanging up the phone.

Xu Chen frowned and thought about it, mainly focusing on how to package the plan.

But suddenly he found that Jiao Tianbo and Wu Feifei were staring at him.

Wu Feifei said, "Boss, what should we do?"

Jiao Tianbo: "Xu Chen, isn't one week too much time?"

Xu Chen smiled and said, "One week is enough. It's just a small project worth 300,000 yuan."

Wu Feifei: “…”

Jiao Tianbo: “??!”

Wu Feifei can actually roughly understand it. After all, Xu Chen is working on projects like Vanke and Jeep.

But Jiao Tianbo was really confused.

A small project worth three hundred thousand?
Three hundred thousand, still small?!
……

Xu Chen added:

"The budget is not much, and the project is not big, so let's just treat it as a training exercise..."

"One week is enough for us to come up with several plans."

"It's just a publicity and promotion for a prefecture-level city. It's not a big deal and it's not troublesome..."

Wu Feifei: “…”

Jiao Tianbo: “??!”

Wu Feifei smiled and said:
"Then boss, you can assign the tasks. I have never done it before. Everything is up to you!"

Xu Chen pondered for a moment and said:
"Then let's do it the same way the advertising industry does when it comes to creative ideas. Everyone comes up with a plan, and then we brainstorm together.

Anyway, the other party wants more options, so we can just make a few more alternatives...

We will each work on it in a week, and we will have a meeting next Thursday to review it, so that we can submit it after finishing it on Friday."

Jiao Tianbo frowned, still feeling that it was a bit hasty.

But soon, he became eager to try again:

"That's perfect. We can also compete with each other on our plans!"

Wu Feifei: “…”

Xu Chen: "Okay, I look forward to your plan!"

Wu Feifei still looked a little timid:
"Xu Chen, I've never done this before. I don't know how to develop ideas or write a plan..."

Xu Chen: "We don't need to write a plan for the meeting on Thursday. Just think of a slogan in one sentence."

Wu Feifei thought for a moment: "A slogan in one sentence...

I know, it feels easier this way.”

Xu Chen turned his head and looked at Gu Xinxin:

"Let Xinxin work with you. You two can come up with a plan together."

Wu Feifei: “That’s great!”

Gu Xinxin: "Okay, I also want to learn about advertising creativity."

Xu Chen slapped the table and stood up:
"Call Amy, let's have dinner!"

"Good boss!"

……

The meals from Tonghai University cafeteria were still hot.

Xu Chen went to the refrigerator and got some soda water and juice.

Everyone was talking and laughing while eating.

Only Jiao Tianbo was a little serious, but he would secretly glance at Wu Feifei from time to time.

While eating, Wu Feifei said to Xu Chen:

"The food in your cafeteria is really delicious, no worse than the restaurants outside."

Xu Chen: "I'm a little tired of eating."

Wu Feifei: "I don't know how lucky I am..."

Jiao Tianbo wanted to join in the conversation, but paused, and then, in a panic, didn't say anything.

……

We were almost done with the meal and it was getting dark.

After cleaning up the trash together, we turned off the office lights and went downstairs together.

Sun Amy and Gu Xinxin took a taxi and left first.

Jiao Tianbo turned his head and glanced at Wu Feifei, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

He paused, then spoke again:
"Fei Fei, how are you going back?"

Wu Feifei was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xu Chen, with a look of seeking help in her eyes, and then she said:

"Xu Chen, didn't you say you would drive me back?"

Xu Chen was confused. When did the other party know that he bought a car?

Jiao Tianbo was stunned and speechless for a moment. He suddenly felt like he had shortened by half a head.

Xu Chen smiled awkwardly, laughed it off and said goodbye to Jiao Tianbo.

……

"Mr. Xu"'s white Land Cruiser was parked downstairs.

Wu Feifei followed behind Xu Chen, looking embarrassed:
"I'm sorry, I took your car without even telling you. I was really afraid that Jiao Tianbo would offer to give me a ride..."

Xu Chen smiled and said, "It's okay!

But how did you know I bought a car? "

Wu Feifei: "Sister Fang Jun told me."

Xu Chen was speechless: "Why did she tell you everything?"

Wu Feifei stuck out her tongue.

Walking to the front of the car, Xu Chen opened the back door.

Wu Feifei was stunned for a moment, looking puzzled, but still sat down obediently.

Xu Chen walked to the cab, fastened his seat belt, and started the engine.

Wu Feifei looked at the front passenger seat and said:
"So Brother Bing is the only one who can sit in your passenger seat?"

Xu Chen smiled and said, "What else?"

……

The tall white Land Cruiser slowly drove out of the parking lot.
