Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 354: Mr. Xu didn't give any face
At ten o'clock on Sunday morning, Xu Chen and Wu Feifei arrived downstairs of Vanke Center on time.

Sister Cindy Chen Xin came out with a smile:

"Welcome, Mr. Xu! Thank you for your hard work. You have to come here for a meeting on the weekend."

Xu Chen: “It’s my job.

I had to work overtime anyway, not to mention it was a meeting arranged directly by President Wang..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Xin took Xu Chen and Wu Feifei upstairs.

……

36th floor, conference room level.

Today is the weekend, and the entire conference room floor is empty. Only in two conference rooms are a few employees working overtime and discussing things.

Chen Xin brought the two of them to a large conference room.

As soon as I entered the door, a colleague was waiting inside.

Chen Xin said:

"Let me introduce you. This is Liu Sen, the marketing manager of the company's marketing and branding department.

For the Rancho Santa Fe project, just contact Liu Sen.”

Liu Sen doesn't look very old, and is a thin boy.

The two sides exchanged business cards and a few pleasantries, which meant they knew each other.

Chen Xin then said goodbye and left:

“For specific projects, you can just communicate…

When Mr. Xu is leaving, please send me a message and I will arrange a car to pick you up."

Xu Chen: "Okay, thank you Sister Cindy."

Liu Sen seemed very polite. He let Xu Chen and Wu Feifei sit down and handed them two bottles of mineral water.
"You two have to wait a moment, our CEO Sun is still busy."

Mr. Sun should be the deputy general manager Sun Man in charge of marketing and brands mentioned by Liu Wenqin yesterday.

According to Liu Wenqin's "intelligence", Sun Man is a direct descendant of Director Chen Qidong and is also the person Wang Shi wants to get rid of.

Xu Chen: "It's okay, we'll just wait a while."

Liu Sen smiled, then walked out of the meeting room and closed the door.

……

Xu Chen stretched, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and admired the sea view outside.

He turned to Wu Feifei and said:
"It will probably take a long time, let's take a rest first."

Wu Feifei frowned: "Are you making us wait on purpose?"

Xu Chen: "I already said it was from the Hongmen Banquet."

……

……

Vanke office area.

A few people work overtime on weekends.

Liu Sen returned to his workstation, sighed and looked embarrassed.

He hesitated for a while, then took out his cell phone and called his boss Sun Man:
"Sister Man, I'm already in the office. When will you arrive?"

"Leave it alone for now! I'm playing basketball with Mr. Chen!"

“Sister Man, this meeting was arranged by Zhou Kai.

That person is most likely Boss Wang..."

Sun Man on the opposite side said, "Tsk!"
"Boss Wang has already stepped down, and we report to Boss Chen and only take orders from him.

The higher-ups are also arm wrestling with each other now, we have to line up...

In addition, the supplier for the Rancho Santa Fe project had already been decided, so how could they assign another company to do it at short notice? "

"Okay, Sister Man, then I'll let the other party wait first?"

"Just wait. If he can't wait any longer and leaves first, that would be even better."

"Okay, then I'll follow Sister Man's arrangements."

……

……

Xu Chen found a spot with a good view, laid down the ergonomic chair, and half-lying down comfortably.

Wu Feifei was bored and started checking her phone.

The two of them were in a relaxed mood, resting and chatting from time to time.

More than an hour passed quickly and the office door was still closed.

Xu Chen looked at the time and said:
"Let's go eat first!"

Wu Feifei pursed her lips in annoyance:
"They were really rude and made us wait for a whole morning in vain."

Xu Chen: "As expected, I have just sent a message to Zhou Kai.

Zhou Kai is also aware of the situation here..."

Wu Feifei was still sulking.

Xu Chen smiled and said, "The Japanese restaurant we passed by yesterday looked good, let's go and eat there!"

Wu Feifei instantly became interested: "Okay, okay!"

Xu Chen thought about it, took out Liu Sen's business card, and called him:
"Manager Liu, the leader probably won't be able to come this morning, right?"

Liu Sen: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, the boss is indeed busy this morning."

Xu Chen: "It's okay, we'll go downstairs to eat first.

I will also take a walk downstairs after dinner. If the leader is coming soon, you can call me or send me a message. "

Liu Sen: "That's also OK...

Mr. Xu, I'll prepare a lunch box for you!"

Xu Chen: "No need! After all, we were invited by President Wang to attend the meeting. It would be embarrassing for Vanke if we just eat lunch.

We can handle it ourselves, don’t worry about it.”

Liu Sen was silent for a while in awkward silence, then laughed it off before hanging up the phone.

Wu Feifei, however, burst out laughing.

Xu Chen thought about it and sent a text message to Liu Sen:
"Manager Liu, we have been waiting in the conference room for the whole morning, but no leader has come.

As it was approaching noon, we went downstairs to have lunch on our own, but we were still near the Vanke Center.

When the leader needs a meeting, you can call or text me at any time and we will come up immediately. "

……

Wu Feifei wandered behind Xu Chen and caught a glimpse of the text message Xu Chen was sending:

"Why did you send a text message?"

Xu Chen explained: "Leave a proof...

What if the other party says that we left early for no reason, we will have no place to complain later.

Let's be more cautious about these minor mistakes."

Wu Feifei pursed her lips and said, "The adult world is so complicated."

Xu Chen: “…”

……

……

Xu Chen took Wu Feifei downstairs to eat.

Pengcheng is at a much lower latitude than Shanghai, and it faces Dapeng Bay, so the climate is comfortable and pleasant.

Just stroll around and enjoy the scenery, and you will feel relaxed.

When I went to eat coconut chicken last night, I saw a Japanese restaurant nearby.

I went to find it now.

There were not many people on the weekend, so the store owner took the two of them to a small tatami room.

Xu Chen picked up the menu and handed it directly to Wu Feifei.

Miss Wu didn't hesitate to order food.

Among the people Xu Chen knows, there are probably two people who are the best at ordering food.

Teacher Fang Jun and Wu Feifei.

If you don’t know what to eat, you basically won’t make any mistakes by following these two people.

But in fact, in Wu Feifei's eyes, there would be no mistake in eating with Xu Chen.

Fried shrimp tempura, grilled eel, sukiyaki, salmon...

There was no such thing as "radiated seafood" in those days, so you could eat it with peace of mind.

They both ate with relish.

During the meal break, Xu Chen was also responding to work messages on his phone.

On the Jeep shooting side, the assistant director forwarded some of the morning's materials to the group, and Xu Chen looked through them carefully one by one.

Sun Amy is also on site to supervise, so there won't be any major problems.

The shots taken by Wang Shi are mainly of the Grand Cherokee. In addition to the scenes of "off-roading" over mountains and hills, there are also some scenes of driving in small cities in western Sichuan and national highways and rural roads.

Compared with Xie Bingran’s previous materials, the overall tone is still very consistent, and it would not appear abrupt when edited into the same commercial.

Wang Shi naturally also knew that this project had another spokesperson, Xie Bingran, and that their materials would be edited together.

He did not express any opposition or resistance to the Jeep brand.

This shows that in Wang Shi's view, putting Xie Bingran together with him will not "lower his value".

After all, she is already the undisputed number one in domestic women's short track and the national champion, and the best among hundreds of millions of girls. Naturally, no one would feel that she has lost value.

……

Xu Chen was concerned about Sun Amy again. At this moment, they had finished filming in western Sichuan and should have moved to the plateau.

"Teacher Amy, are you having altitude sickness?"

“It seems to be fine, maybe the body hasn’t had time to react yet.

Don't worry, boss. The team is equipped with oxygen tanks and even has a doctor accompanying the team..."

"Teacher Amy has worked hard on the journey. I will wait for you to come back and give you a good meal!"

"thank you boss……"

……

……

After finishing their meal, Xu Chen and Wu Feifei walked around the nearby commercial district, which was full of extremely modern buildings and facilities.

Pengcheng was originally a small fishing village. Everything was built from scratch, so there are no old buildings or roads.

This ensures the unity and freedom of planning and construction...

In terms of the overall "modern urban feel", it even surpasses Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou.

However, Shenzhen can be considered a "cultural desert". For example, if you want to buy some special souvenirs and local products to take back, there are simply no choices.

There are almost no "locals" in Pengcheng; all of them are "immigrants" from all over the world.

It does have its advantages, unlike Shanghai where you can occasionally hear arguments between “locals” and “outsiders”.

Xu Chen still had to entertain the "leader's daughter" and took her to eat some desserts and drink milk tea.

Miss Wu was generous and cheerful, and not polite at all.

Liu Sen from Vanke hadn't called or sent any messages, so Xu Chen was not in a hurry at all and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon.

The two of them walked back only after they felt a little tired from walking around.

When he reached the gate downstairs, Xu Chen called Liu Sen:
"Manager Liu, we are back at Vanke Center.

I need you to come down and take it..."

After a while, Liu Sen came running down, still with an apologetic look on his face:
"Sorry, Mr. Xu, our sister Man is coming over, so we shouldn't have to wait long."

Xu Chen: "It's okay, we can just take a rest in the conference room."

Liu Sen: "What time is your flight this afternoon? You won't miss it, will you?" Xu Chen: "I can make it in time, as long as the boss doesn't arrive until three or four o'clock."

He paused, then smiled and said:

“Our schedule was arranged by Zhou Kai and Sister Cindy.

So they and Mr. Wang will know exactly what time we arrive in the morning and leave in the afternoon.”

Liu Sen looked embarrassed: "Okay, I understand...

I'll wait and urge Sister Man again, she should be almost done with her work."

……

……

meeting room.

Only Xu Chen and Wu Feifei were left.

Wu Feifei said, "Since they are so slow, can't we just leave?"

Xu Chen: “Boss Wang used Dongchen Advertising as a weapon to force the other party to make mistakes.

We cannot make any mistakes in this process..."

Wu Feifei frowned, obviously still a little angry.

Xu Chen smiled again and said: "We just need to make money from this business, and don't worry about the rest.

Just treat it as a weekend vacation in Pengcheng. We don’t have to pay for the travel expenses ourselves, so why not do it? ”

Wu Feifei: "When you say that, I feel like I'm happier."

Xu Chen: “Many things are like this.

The thing itself has not changed, but how you look at it affects your mood."

……

……

After waiting for another half an hour, the door of the conference room was knocked from outside and then pushed open.

Liu Sen was walking in front, and there were seven or eight people following behind him.

The leader was a "big sister" in her thirties or forties, wearing a golf suit and a conspicuous pearl necklace around her neck.

At first glance, she is the legendary "Sister Man".

Liu Sen:

"Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Xu Chen from Dongchen Advertising.

"This is Sun Man, our Vice President of Vanke in charge of marketing and branding. Sister Man..."

Xu Chen was naturally respectful and polite, and greeted him seriously.

Sun Man glanced at Xu Chen, a trace of confusion on her face, but also a hint of disdain:
"So young?"

Xu Chen smiled and said nothing.

Liu Sen then introduced the other people one by one.

Another leader is the marketing director, named Wu Xiaoding, who looks fair and gentle, probably in his early thirties.

The remaining six or seven people are also colleagues in the marketing and brand department, but they are all young people in the team.

Xu Chen exchanged business cards with them one by one, and on the surface he was naturally polite and flawless.

Today is Sunday, and I guess their "Marketing and Branding Department" is also on holiday.

But the seven or eight people in front of him actually rushed over, with a very aggressive look, which seemed to be intentional.

After a few pleasantries, everyone sat down.

Sun Man still had some airs, and two of his subordinates came to serve him, bringing him tea and water.

She drank her tea and said:
"For our 'Rancho Santa Fe' project, we have already finalized the advertising vendors and promotion plans, so there is no need to bring in new vendors."

It's also very straightforward.

Sun Man paused, took another sip of tea, and said without raising his eyebrows:
“So I don’t understand why Boss Wang asked Dongchen Advertising to come and make a report.

I wonder if Mr. Xu knows about this?"

Xu Chen smiled and said:

“We also came here according to Mr. Wang’s arrangement.

However, what Zhou Kai told us is that the current plan for 'Rancho Santa Fe' is very poor, and Mr. Wang strongly disapproves and likes it.

So we came here to check and exchange ideas, not to report. "

"..."

As soon as Xu Chen finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly froze.

Especially that "Sister Man", her face became extremely ugly.

Wu Feifei turned her head and glanced at Xu Chen, her expression becoming extremely interesting.

Ok……

"Mr. Xu" seems polite on the surface, but in fact he doesn't give me any face at all!
Coming over to "check" it, the tone and direction were instantly reversed.

Xu Chen naturally did it on purpose.

Since the other party has already revealed its resistance and hostility to the point of "showing off", there is no need to hide it.

For Xu Chen, today was just a formality. He could discuss the plan in a procedural manner and leave.

As for the discussion process, it is not that important.

……

Sun Man suppressed his ugly expression and sneered calmly:
"So, Mr. Xu, how are you going to check it out?"

Xu Chen: “You can bring out your current plan and I will give you some suggestions and comments.

Then we'll take a look at Dongchen Advertising's proposal..."

The fair-faced marketing director Wu Xiaoding said:

"Mr. Xu, you have to understand that we are Party A and you are Party B..."

Xu Chen: "I am here to attend the meeting on behalf of Mr. Wang, so I am Mr. Wang's Party B.

But there is no cooperation between us yet, and we are not Party A or Party B yet.

All communication is equal.

If Mr. Wu has any objections to this communication, he can contact Mr. Zhou Kai and Mr. Wang directly first. "

"you……"

……

Sun Man smiled, revealing an interested smile.

She turned to Wu Xiaoding and said:
"Then let's show the current plan to Mr. Xu...

Let’s also learn from Mr. Xu’s plan.”

Wu Xiaoding's face was obviously not good, but he still picked up the mouse unhappily and flipped through the current promotion plan of 'Rancho Santa Fe'.

Xu Chen took out his cell phone and checked the time first.

Looking up at the projection screen, he saw the same plan that Zhou Kai had shown him yesterday:

"The great hermit hides in the city..."

"Above the great city, there is fame and honor..."

"A rare and precious villa that you will treasure for a lifetime..."

“Very few villas for very few people…”

……

Xu Chen took the mouse, flipped through it carefully, as if he was reading it seriously, and then said:
"No wonder President Wang doesn't approve of this plan. It really is a terrible plan..."

"The creative ideas are old-fashioned, pretentious and nothing new!"

"It smells contrived and stale, and the target users will sneer at it."

"The writing is of a low standard, and the tone of the rural advertisements from the last century is simply too low!"

"If you don't know, you might think it's a property in some rural-urban area. How can it look like a high-end villa?"

"I suggest that we stop cooperating with this advertising company in the future. It is simply polluting the advertising industry..."

"Also, I suggest that we investigate who decided to use this company to see if they received any benefits in private..."

……

"??!"

Xu Chen started to criticize without showing any mercy.

Wu Feifei sat next to Xu Chen, her big eyes blinking non-stop, and she could hardly suppress the smile on her lips.

However, the faces of the seven or eight people sitting opposite them became increasingly unsightly.

You are not here to "communicate", you are here to curse people? !
……

Marketing Director Wu Xiaoding was unable to suppress his anger and wanted to speak but was stopped by Sun Man.

After Xu Chen finished his long speech, Sun Man cleared his throat and said:
"Mr. Xu's comments are very interesting. I am looking forward to your proposal..."

Xu Chen: "Dongchen Advertising's proposal has been sent to Liu Sen's email...

Need help checking it out."

Liu Sen, who had been sitting in the corner without daring to say a word, now quickly stood up and walked over.

He took the mouse, quickly logged into his email, downloaded the file sent by Xu Chen, and then ran back to his seat in the corner in shame.

Wu Feifei looked confused, not knowing how Xu Chen would end this.

I just criticized the other party's finalized plan. Now that I bring out Dongchen Advertising's plan, I will definitely face a round of accusations...

This has nothing to do with the plan itself, it's just a rhythm of finding fault with each other.

Wu Feifei felt a little worried. Today's situation was really going to be difficult to deal with!

Xu Chen looked calm and comfortable as he took the mouse and opened the Dongchen advertising materials.

"Without a certain height, it is not suitable to be so low-key..."

"When you are used to walking on red carpets, you will dream of cobblestone roads..."

……

When the plan was revealed, seven or eight people in the audience were stunned, and all showed a look of surprise.

Sun Man's expression changed, but he snorted coldly:
"I thought it was some advanced plan!"

She turned to look at the seven or eight subordinates beside her:

"You all come and give your comments. Since we are communicating, let President Xu also listen to our opinions!"

Xu Chen was speechless.

No wonder they called seven or eight people over...

The marketing director Wu Xiaoding cleared his throat, as if he had already prepared a long "critical speech" and was eager to give it a try.

Xu Chen suddenly stood up, looked at the time and said:

“I’m really sorry…

We arrived on time at 10 o'clock in the morning, but we waited for you for most of the day.

Now I have to catch a plane..."

Wu Xiaoding: "You..."

Xu Chen: “Due to your lateness, we were unable to have a good conversation.

If you have any opinions to exchange, you can reply directly in the email.

I also copied this email to Zhou Kai and Mr. Wang, so they could see it too.

Let’s talk again when we have time. It’s nice to meet you all!”

He reached out and tugged at Wu Feifei, then turned around and quickly walked out of the meeting room.

All that was left was a confused crowd, filled with anger and unable to vent.
