Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 348 Brainwashed by You
In the evening, at Dongchen Advertising Office.

Xu Chen stayed alone in the "General Manager's Office", poured himself a glass of red wine, and worked overtime comfortably on the plan.

What we are working on is naturally the advertising plan for Vanke's "Rancho Santa Fe". It needs to be reported to the founder Wang Shi and it needs to be taken seriously.

Fortunately, the idea of the plan is already in my mind, so I just need to write it down today.

I'll give it to Sun Amy tomorrow and ask her to put together a few stylish floor plans, and it will be almost done.

……

"Student master" Jiao Tianbo suddenly sent a message:
[Xu Chen, I have compiled a batch of news and speeches by Deputy Mayor Cheng of Yichun City. I have sent them all to your email.]

【Thank you for your hard work, Tianbo! 】

Xu Chen logged into his email and downloaded the document sent by Jiao Tianbo.

The "academic master" was serious and careful in doing things. He organized them into categories and also posted web links.

It feels a bit funny to ask the arrogant "nerd" to help me collect materials.

Xu Chen read it carefully and gradually got an idea of it.

This deputy mayor is named Cheng Yumin. He is a bit similar to Wu Yongming and is also in charge of responsibilities related to economic development.

Therefore, Yichun City’s “investment attraction” and “tourism development” all fall on his shoulders.

It just so happened that he was in charge of the Propaganda Department, so this publicity and promotion project for Yichun City came into being.

In Cheng Yumin's recent speeches and news, he has focused on promoting Yichun City's latest investment promotion policies, etc. It is obvious that he is determined to promote economic development and reform.

But overall, Yichun City does not have particularly strong economic resources, so tourism resources represented by "Mingyue Mountain" have been pushed to the forefront.

After reading these news, Xu Chen gained a deeper understanding of the demands behind this promotion project.

At the same time, in case Deputy Mayor Cheng still has concerns or objections to the "moaning" plan, Xu Chen has already roughly figured out the words to communicate.

Jiao Tianbo sent another message:

[Director Lou, there has been no feedback all day. Is there any problem with the project? ]

Xu Chen was a little speechless. This “nerd boy” was really an anxious and impatient person.

[Don't worry, we just submitted the proposal last Friday, and we just finished the phone conversation yesterday...

It takes time for people to report to their leaders, and it may take several days to discuss the matter in a meeting.

[Okay, I'll wait for Director Lou's reply. I'll let you know if there's any follow-up.]

[Okay, thank you for your hard work, Tianbo! ]

Xu Chen was just about to close the dialog box when he discovered that Jiao Tianbo had been "typing" for quite a while.

He was puzzled and waited for a long time before finally receiving a message from "the top student".

[Xu Chen, are you and Feifei going on a business trip together this weekend? ]

After seeing the news, Xu Chen suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

I’m going on a business trip with Wu Feifei, so I hope Jiao Tianbo won’t have any wild thoughts again.

But Xu Chen was frank and had nothing to hide:
[Yes, there just happened to be a project, Wu Feifei also participated in it in the early stage, so we will go together this time.]

Jiao Tianbo hesitated for a while before replying:
[You and Feifei will live separately, right? ]

"..."

Xu Chen was speechless and replied:

【Stayed in the same hotel, but different rooms.

Sun Amy from our company will also be on the business trip with us. She and Wu Feifei will be staying in the same room. 】

[Oh...it's okay then.]

Thank you, Xu Chen! 】

Xu Chen took a sip of red wine and smiled helplessly.

These little boys and little bootlickers are sometimes really laughable.

……

After finishing his work in the evening, Xu Chen strolled back to the dormitory alone.

The nights in Shanghai in November were already very cold, and Xu Chen wrapped his jacket around himself.

I couldn't help but think of Xie Bingran, and I didn't know if she was cold at the moment.

Fortunately, I bought her some sweaters and coats last time, so she shouldn't have any problem getting through the winter.

……

……

Wednesday morning.

During the break, Xu Chen bumped into Jiao Tianbo in the corridor of the teaching building.

He looked a little excited again and said to Xu Chen:
"Director Lou said that Deputy Mayor Cheng wants to talk to us again on the phone."

Xu Chen: "Okay, no problem."

Wanting to chat on the phone again actually means that things are really complicated.

If the deputy mayor is not interested in the plan, there probably won't be any follow-up feedback.

Jiao Tianbo: "I still made an appointment for the evening."

Xu Chen: "Sure, Feifei will be here today too."

Wu Feifei has relatively few classes in the afternoons on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, so she will come to the company when she is free.

Actually, Xu Chen didn't give her much to do at work. It was mainly because Wu Feifei was hanging out with Sun Amy and Gu Xinxin, and she seemed quite happy.

During lunch yesterday, Wu Feifei couldn't help but say:

“It’s great to be with my two sisters, I learn something new every day.

When I was with those classmates, all we talked about every day was manicure, makeup, boyfriends...

It’s meaningless.”

……

Xu Chen remembered something else and quickly sent a message to Gu Xinxin.

[The two interviews in the afternoon need to be postponed by half an hour to an hour.

There is a conference call for Yichun’s project, but it won’t be long...】

The interview in the afternoon was about the position of head of e-commerce marketing at "Ranbing Sports".

Nie Fei had already interviewed two people over the phone last week, and now he asked Xu Chen to interview them and decide which one to use.

Xu Chen had Gu Xinxin schedule an interview for this evening, but now Yichun's conference call suddenly interrupted, so the two interviews would have to be postponed.

Nie Fei has introduced the situations of these two candidates to Xu Chen.

Both of them are interested in the position of "Ranbing Sports", so they are willing to move forward. Of course, there are still some differences in the reasons for their interest...

Xu Chen arranged for them to interview in the afternoon and evening, of course, for a certain purpose.

The two were also deliberately made aware that there were other candidates competing for the same position so that they could attach more importance to this opportunity.

……

……

At noon, in the “International Students Canteen” of Tonghai University.

This place is far away from the southwest area where Xu Chen lives, and he seldom comes here.

I came here to eat with some classmates today, just to change the taste.

The prices in the "International Students Canteen" are slightly higher, but no matter how expensive it is, it is still much cheaper than eating out in a restaurant.

Many of the international students in domestic universities come from the third world.

However, as a world-leading school in disciplines such as architecture, transportation, and mechanics, Tonghai University still has some international students from Europe and the United States, especially many exchange students from Germany.

So in the "International Students Canteen", you can still see some blonde, blue-eyed girls with long legs.

……

Xu Chen and several roommates ordered their food and found a seat to sit down.

Jiao Tianbo actually came along as well, which is quite rare.

The previous "nerd" had always been a loner and was somewhat disdainful of hanging out with this group of roommates.

There are steaks, hamburgers, and pizzas, and the prices are indeed much more expensive than those in Xueyuan Canteen, Xiyuan Canteen, etc.

While eating, several boys were watching the foreign students coming in and out of the cafeteria.

Of course, the most important thing is to search for beautiful girls...

Several groups of international students passed by, chatting and laughing. There were white people from Europe and America, as well as dark-skinned people...

"Why do you all wear perfume?" Hong Xiaoqiang asked.

Xu Chen smiled and said, "To cover up the body odor."

Hong Xiaoqiang: “Ah?”

Pei Qian: "Fox... odor?"

Xu Chen just smiled again, no further explanation was needed.

Hong Xiaoqiang: "That makes me... instantly lose interest in blonde girls."

……

On the way back to the teaching building, Jiao Tianbo approached Xu Chen and said:
"Xu Chen, we have a meeting with Deputy Mayor Cheng this afternoon. What are you going to say?"

Xu Chen: “Ah?”

Jiao Tianbo paused and said, "You asked me to collect the leaders' speeches, saying that you wanted to study and summarize the speech skills...

I just want to ask you for advice."

Xu Chen was somewhat helpless, but still said patiently:

“I still have to digest it and think about it.

Also, I don’t know what the leader will ask or say during the afternoon conference call, so I will have to improvise when the time comes.”

Jiao Tianbo thought about it, nodded and said:

"Okay... I'll study with you again during the meeting this afternoon."

Xu Chen: “…” The proud “nerd brother” is really stupid but serious, sloppy but hardworking.

……

……

evening.

As usual, Xu Chen and Jiao Tianbo went to the cafeteria to pack some food and took it to the Dongchen Advertising office.

As soon as I entered the office, I saw Wu Feifei had also arrived.

After putting down the food, they went to the meeting room first.

Gu Xinxin said:

“The two interviews have been pushed back half an hour.

I just said hello to Amy. If they arrive early, Amy will receive them first. "

Xu Chen nodded: "Okay!"

Wu Feifei: "Mr. Xu's company is hiring again?"

Xu Chen: "Sis Fei is here, and we need to start working on the business line there. We still need to assign some subordinates to Sis Fei."

Wu Feifei said jokingly, "Mr. Xu is so successful at such a young age. It's really enviable."

Jiao Tianbo remained silent, but a hint of loneliness flashed across his expression.

……

After waiting for a while, the call from Yichun City finally came.

Director Lou Ting was still presiding over the meeting, and she first introduced the participants to both sides.

The leaders opposite, apart from Secretary Ding Guoqiang of the Propaganda Department, Director He Jie of the Tourism Bureau, was Deputy Mayor Cheng Yumin.

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, and Cheng Yumin also got to know "Mr. Xu" over the phone.

Xu Chen was still very cautious and polite:

"We should go to Yichun City to visit the leaders. The project communication is urgent, so I discussed the proposal with Director Lou Ting first..."

Secretary Ding Guoqiang's gentle voice came from the other side:

“It’s okay, Mr. Xu.

Our promotion project is indeed quite urgent. Just as you wrote in the plan, it would be best if the project can be implemented around the Spring Festival.

We have the same consideration and will hold an investment promotion conference at the beginning of the year.

The task given to us by Deputy Mayor Cheng is to increase the popularity of Yichun and promote our tourism resources before the promotion meeting...

If there is a follow-up cooperation, we will still have the opportunity to meet in person, and we also welcome your company to visit Yichun for exchanges. "

After a few more pleasantries, he got down to business.

Since the big leader was there, Xu Chen gave another concise explanation of the plan.

It mainly revolves around "A City Calling for Spring", the overall conceptual ideas and the steps for implementing supporting activities.

After Xu Chen finished speaking, Secretary Ding Guoqiang and Director He Jie asked two or three more small questions, and Xu Chen answered them one by one.

Wu Feifei and Jiao Tianbo both looked puzzled, because these two or three small questions had actually been asked once during the last phone conversation.

It mainly revolves around the potential risks and concerns of the "spring calling" plan, as well as the countermeasures in the plan.

Xu Chen continued to tell his story, repeating the answer and plan he had given last time in exactly the same way.

Xu Chen naturally understood that the reason why Ding Guoqiang and He Jie asked the same question was to let Xu Chen tell it specifically to Deputy Mayor Cheng.

Sure enough, after Xu Chen finished speaking, Ding Guoqiang's voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Deputy Mayor Cheng, do you have any questions?"

Deputy Mayor Cheng Yumin cleared his throat and then spoke:
“Thank you Mr. Xu for sharing, it is very rewarding.

This proposal from Dongchen Advertising is indeed the most impressive one I have seen in this period of time..."

He paused for a moment, as if he was struggling with something:
"But as Mr. Xu just mentioned, the 'Spring Calling' plan is still very controversial and even involves some risks.

So I personally hesitate to make a judgment.

Should I use 'a city crying for spring' or 'a year's plan in Yichun'...?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xinxin, Wu Feifei and Jiao Tianbo who were in the meeting all looked towards Xu Chen.

Xu Chen quickly organized his speech, and the source of his speech was naturally the speeches and articles of Deputy Mayor Cheng that he had already studied:

“Risk and reward are directly proportional.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't be too afraid of being famous and too fat at the same time..."

Cheng Yumin: "So this is indeed a difficult choice."

Xu Chen paused for a moment:
“Based on previous communication with several leaders, the core purpose behind our promotion this time is to enhance the popularity of Yichun to serve investment attraction and economic development.

If this general direction does not change, then there is no need to hesitate to choose the 'Spring Calling' option. "

Cheng Yumin: "What do you mean?"

Xu Chen: “When it comes to attracting investment, what do external entrepreneurs and investors value?
The location, resources, prospects of the place...

Another very important factor is whether the local government is open-minded and innovative.

All external companies are actually afraid of local conservatism and even local protectionism.

We also learned about Yichun City's investment promotion policy, which prompted us to boldly propose the promotion plan of "Calling Spring".

Yichun City has taken bold steps in economic development and investment attraction, launching a series of investment attraction support policies that are very innovative and open!"

“Our promotion this time needs to allow foreign companies and entrepreneurs to see Yichun’s innovation, openness, courage and boldness.

A conservative, backward and old-fashioned city would never dare to use a promotional phrase like "calling for sex".

Only an innovative, open, courageous and resolute city, a progressive, young and vibrant city, can confidently express and explain it this way! "

"We give a lot of lectures to foreign companies and entrepreneurs, and send a lot of press releases, but it's not as good as a 'performance' in front of them.

Openness, innovation, tolerance and courage are not just slogans for Yichun!
We are open, innovative and inclusive enough, so we dare to 'call for spring'!
This is, 'Yichun the Spring Caller'!"

……

Xu Chen spoke slowly and calmly, but there was a natural touch of emotion in his calm words.

After he finished speaking, there was a slight silence in the conference room and on the other end of the phone.

Jiao Tianbo frowned slightly, but was writing something in the notebook.

So it’s really like this!
It turns out that the speeches and articles of those leaders can be used in this way...

Wu Feifei blinked and looked at Xu Chen, with little stars in her eyes.

Gu Xinxin, who was standing by, also looked somewhat moved.

You are such a good speaker!
You are brainwashing me!

Is there such great value and significance behind this promotional slogan? !

These are all profound truths, but when they are put together, it feels so exciting!

……

……

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and suddenly there was applause.

Then came the hearty laughter of Deputy Mayor Cheng Yumin:
"Very good! Very well said!"

“This is Yichun, this is our openness, innovation and inclusiveness!”

"It is precisely because of our innovation and courage that we dare to 'call for spring'!"

"This is a very good interpretation! Very wonderful!"

As soon as the leader finished speaking, several other leaders beside him followed suit.

"It's really great! Through this promotion, foreign companies and entrepreneurs can truly feel the innovation and youthful spirit of Yichun!"

“Yes, youthful spirit!”

……

……

Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and half leaned back in his chair.

I worked overtime last night to study the deputy mayor's speech, and it finally came in handy.

The words he just used were naturally in line with the deep-seated needs of the leaders, and could be said to be persuasive words specially "tailored" for Deputy Mayor Cheng...

It was natural that he could impress the deputy mayor who was in charge of Yichun City's investment promotion and economic development.

Wu Feifei, Jiao Tianbo, and Gu Xinxin looked at Xu Chen, all with unconcealed admiration on their faces.

Especially Miss Wu, who showed a playful smile again, as if to say:
You are awesome! You are awesome!
On the other end of the phone, several leaders of Yichun City had another excited discussion.

Deputy Mayor Cheng Yumin cleared his throat and said:
"Secretary Ding, Director He, I think we can reach a consensus.

This proposal from Dongchen Advertising is the best I have ever seen or heard! "

Ding Guoqiang smiled and said, "Thank you, Vice Mayor Cheng, for coming to review it. With your approval of the plan, we can move forward with confidence."

Cheng Yumin pondered for a moment and said in a low voice:

“Innovation will eventually involve some risks, but these risks are worth taking!
For the sake of Yichun City's reputation, economic development and the future well-being of the people of the city...

Any doubts you may face will be worth it!
History will give us the answer!"

"Well said, leader!"

“The leader is so high-level!”

……

Cheng Yumin cleared his throat again, interrupting his flattery, and said into the phone:

"Mr. Xu, thank you very much for taking the time to talk to me today.

Thank you for your hard work in the future, and for helping to supervise the implementation of this project!"

Xu Chen: "Leader, you are too kind!

Dongchen Advertising is very honored to contribute to the development and construction of Yichun City..."

in this way.

Once the project is won, it’s a done deal.
