Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 355 I Can’t Afford It

Pengcheng Baoan Airport.

After Xu Chen and Wu Feifei passed the security check, they went to sit in KFC.

Xu Chen replied to a few messages on his phone and said with a smile:

"Zhou Kai said he will have a meeting in Shanghai tomorrow afternoon and invited us to come over!"

Wu Feifei: "Isn't it still the Hongmen Banquet?"

Xu Chen: "No, Boss Wang and Zhou Kai will be there tomorrow afternoon...

I think the situation of the afternoon meeting has already been reported to Boss Wang."

Wu Feifei frowned: "Wouldn't it be a bad idea to have the afternoon meeting like that?"

Xu Chen: “It doesn’t really matter to us.

I said, our visit there this afternoon is just a formality.

Boss Wang knew that we would encounter clear resistance and even neglect, and Zhou Kai had already informed him of this in advance.

So no matter what Sun Man and the others say, it doesn’t really matter…”

"Zhou Kai said that Vanke was going to have a quarterly summary meeting in Shanghai tomorrow, and everyone who should come will come.

Boss Wang then said that he would handle the Rancho Santa Fe matter at the same time."

He glanced at Wu Feifei: "Are you coming tomorrow?"

Wu Feifei: "Come on! It's so exciting, of course I have to come and see it!
This is the first time I have seen so-called ‘internal fighting’ in a large company.”

Xu Chen was speechless:

"yes……

We were inexplicably involved in an "internal fight", which was a bit strange.

But as long as there is money to be made, it doesn’t matter.”

He paused:

"Then I'll drive over to pick you up tomorrow at noon."

Wu Feifei: "Okay, okay!"

She suddenly remembered something:
“The Asian Games are coming soon!”

Xu Chen: "Yes, it's almost there."

Wu Feifei: "I don't know how Brother Bing is preparing for the competition."

Xu Chen: "No problem."

Wu Feifei: "How do you know? It's not like you can't even see her."

Xu Chen: "I have absolute confidence in Brother Bing!"

Wu Feifei: "But in the last match in Osaka, Brother Bing was indeed too handsome...

Many of my classmates who usually don’t pay attention to sports and track and field have started paying attention to track and field just because Bing Ge won the championship in Osaka last time!

This Asian Games will definitely be a hot topic and a hot topic again!"

……

……

Monday morning, advanced mathematics class, before class.

As soon as Xu Chen entered the classroom, he heard a lot of discussion.

I walked to the back row and sat among the boys. After listening for a few words, I found out what was going on.

It turned out that the draw list for the "Senior Bai Miao Cheering Team" for the Doha Asian Games was released.

In order to ensure the fairness of the lottery and the safety of the entire itinerary, the college conducted two more rounds of research and discussion before finally finalizing it.

The draw results should have come out long ago, but the announcement of the draw results and subsequent arrangements was delayed until early Monday morning.

Three students in the same class won the lottery.

Among the boys, there happened to be Huang Hao, a little fan of senior Bai Miao.

On the girls' side, there was Chen Qiong, a local Shanghai girl, and another girl named He Sisi.

The three people who won the lottery were naturally extremely happy, while the others gathered around them with looks of envy and jealousy.

Local students in Shanghai generally come from families with better financial conditions than students from other places.

But traveling abroad to watch the Asian Games at my own expense is still a bit stressful.

So everyone still has great expectations of "winning the lottery".

Huang Hao is also a native of Shanghai, and he was obviously very happy after winning the lottery.

This "little fan" was extremely excited just thinking about being able to go to the scene to cheer for senior Bai Miao.

Moreover, since it is an activity organized by the school, there is no need to explain too much to the "strict" parents.

The "Little Prince of Jiangsu and Zhejiang" put his arm around Huang Hao's shoulders:

"Great, finally someone to keep me company!"

Huang Hao said jokingly:

"Go away! Don't you want to keep Goddess Su Rong company?"

Qian Xin obviously didn't want to bring up this, and Chen Wenyi happened to be sitting next to him, so he quickly changed the subject...

"Stock trading guy" Pei Qian seemed to be very depressed. He was stuck in stock trading recently and did not win a ticket to the Asian Games that he had been longing for.

Xu Chen felt somewhat helpless.

This time I went to Doha, I met quite a few acquaintances.

Qian Xin, Huang Hao, Chen Qiong, He Sisi from the same class...

The cultural and arts committee member Su Rong would probably buy her own ticket and go there.

Jiao Tianbo had previously heard that Wu Feifei was going to watch the Asian Games, and obviously wanted to go over to "take care of her."

What's more, there are a bunch of seniors from the same college...

Xu Chen thought about it and it seemed like a good thing.

When the time comes and you need to cheer for Brother Bing, you can actually ask these classmates for help.

He thought of something else and said to Huang Hao:

"What date are you going there? The competition is divided into group matches and finals, right?"

Huang Hao: "I'm not sure. It seems that they said they were only going to watch the finals in order to save costs."

Qian Xin joked, "Speaking of which, Senior Bai Miao, it's not 100% certain that you can make it to the finals, right?"

Huang Hao showed a trace of anger:
"What are you talking about? Senior Sister Bai Miao will definitely make it to the finals!
This is the Asian Games, not the Olympics...

They are all yellow people."

Qian Xin didn't say anything else, just laughed.

Huang Hao: "During the last East Asian Youth Games in Osaka, senior Bai Miao made a mistake at the start during the group stage.

According to her normal level, there is no pressure for her to enter the finals of the Asian Games! "

Speaking of the competition, Huang Hao became serious and continued:
“Feng Youping, the gold medalist of the last Asian Games, has officially retired.

Among this year's domestic contestants, three are guaranteed to advance to the finals.

Chen Lan, who won the bronze medal in the last Asian Games, has a chance to win the gold medal this time.

Then there are Senior Sisters Xie Bingran and Bai Miao..."

He paused and said, “Xie Bingran also has a chance to win the gold medal.

Senior Bai Miao was a little short, but there was no problem in making it to the finals!

And a chance to win a medal!"

Qian Xin showed a hint of pride:
"Xie Bingran has more than just a chance to win the gold medal?

Last time in Osaka, we almost beat the Japanese out of the way!"

Xu Chen: “…”

Huang Hao: “Xie Bingran is very strong.

But Senior Bai Miao is from the same college as us, so we still have to cheer for her!"

He paused, then continued:

"There are still variables for Chen Lan and Xie Bingran to win the championship...

For top-level players with similar abilities, on-the-spot performance is still very important.

In addition, in the past six months, women's short track seeded players have emerged from India and South Korea...

As for the two people from Japan, although they lost to Xie Bingran last time, their strength is still top in Asia!"

……

……

Xu Chen did not participate in the topic, but just listened quietly, and also took the opportunity to find out about Bing Ge's opponent in this Asian Games.

He thought about it and decided to find time to ask Sister Yue about the progress of the arrangements.

The passports of Xu Chen, Nie Fei and Wu Feifei were all sent to Sister Yue, and Sister Yue will handle the relevant visas and travel expenses through the travel agency.

As for the tickets for the Asian Games, Xu Chen contacted coach Cheng Hong in advance as usual. She said that they could only make unified arrangements through the team when the competition is closer.

Xu Chen also asked his father Xu Zhiquan if he wanted to join in, but old Xu was busy with the launch of "Morning Breeze Power" and really couldn't spare the time.

But he said that after he was done with this busy period, he could come to Shanghai to see his beloved son and Xie Bingran.

……

Xu Chen remembered the meeting at Vanke in the afternoon, and quickly sent a message to the squad leader Min Siyi asking for leave.

Min Siyi replied:

[You've taken so many days off, aren't you afraid of failing the exam? ]

Before Xu Chen could reply, Min Siyi replied:
[Well... you still have two first prizes in the 'Daguan Competition', which can be used to deduct two professional courses. ]

Xu Chen didn't say anything else, just responded with a well-behaved smile.

……

……

noon.

Xu Chen was in a hurry to go to Vanke for a meeting, but was stopped by "academic master" Jiao Tianbo.

After he spoke a few words, it turned out that he came to synchronize the progress of Yichun's promotion project.

This project has been handed over to Gu Xinxin, so Xu Chen doesn't need to worry too much.

But he still listened to the "scholar" patiently, and then he said:

"Thank you for your hard work, Tianbo. You will just need to connect with Gu Xinxin later.

Teacher Xinxin is very professional and I can learn a lot from working on projects with her.”

Jiao Tianbo hesitated for a moment, but finally said:

“You have other projects here, can you take me with you to learn?
I don’t need an internship salary, I just want to improve myself.”

Xu Chen was speechless.

I thought to myself that I would never take you with me...The Yichun project was introduced by Jiao Tianbo, so I can't leave him behind.

But for other projects, I really don’t want to bring Jiao Tianbo with me.

The most important thing is that the "nerd boy" with poor abilities really can't help much.

Xu Chen’s company does not do charity work or run a school, and has no obligation to help people improve.

As for Wu Feifei, she still has the responsibility to take good care of and serve the "leader's daughter."

In addition, Wu Feifei is smart and intelligent, with high emotional intelligence, and can still provide some help in the project.

For example, during these two business trips to Vanke, when Gu Xinxin and Sun Amy were too busy to travel, bringing Wu Feifei along was just enough to help Dongchen Advertising maintain its reputation.

Of course Xu Chen would not reject the "student tyrant" in person, and still said politely:

"Okay, then I have to see if there are any suitable projects later."

Jiao Tianbo: “Okay, thank you!
……

……

Xu Chen went downstairs to the office to get the car, and Sun Amy was already waiting there with a computer bag.

There is a meeting today, and there is a high probability that the "Rancho Santa Fe" project will be postponed, so we still have to bring Sun Amy along.

Sun Amy took a flight early this morning and should have just arrived at the company. She was still wearing a windbreaker.

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Amy!"

Xu Chen said with a smile.

Sun Amy smiled sweetly: "No, boss!"

Xu Chen: "In that case, Boss Wang also arrived in Shanghai this morning?"

Amy Sun: “He should have arrived last night.

After the shoot yesterday, I flew away overnight..."

She paused, then continued:

"Boss, did your Vanke presentation yesterday go badly?"

Xu Chen smiled: "Why do you say that?"

Amy Sun: "Secretary Zhou Kai received a call, and then Boss Wang called a conference call and seemed to be furious.

It seems to be because of the Rancho Santa Fe project.”

Xu Chen said calmly: “It’s none of our business.

We should just go to the meeting as usual and move forward as usual!"

Amy Sun adjusted her round-frame glasses and said, "Okay!"

The two got in the car, and Sun Amy sat in the back seat as usual, and then drove to pick up Wu Feifei first.

Xu Chen held the steering wheel and said again:
"Teacher Amy, have you been extremely busy lately?"

Amy Sun: “There are more projects, but it’s acceptable!”

Xu Chen: “There will be other projects coming in later.

There will be more things happening with 'Ranbing Sports' and 'Morning Wind Ice Power'.

I am considering placing two subordinates under you. It is up to you to decide who will be responsible for design, planning, and copywriting.

You can look for candidates first, and recommend the right ones to me for interviews.

I'll also help you keep an eye out for candidates."

Sun Amy showed a happy face: "Okay! Thank you, boss!"

Xu Chen smiled and said, "You are the creative director of our company. Of course a director needs to lead people!"

Sun Amy blinked her round eyes: "But I have never led a team, and I don't know how to lead people..."

Xu Chen: "You can learn everything. Sister Fei is also in the company now. You can ask her for advice."

Amy Sun: "Okay!"

At the north gate of Shanghai Foreign Language School, Wu Feifei was already standing on the roadside waiting.

Today, I wore a professional suit that looked smart and mature as usual.

Wu Feifei was still very happy when she got in the car and saw Sun Amy.

I was still very curious about her photography in western Sichuan and the snowy areas, and asked her many questions.

Sun Amy said she still had some altitude sickness, but as soon as she landed in Shanghai today, she instantly returned to normal.

……

In 06, Vanke’s headquarters in Shanghai was also located in MH District.

Xu Chen glanced at the map and found that it was quite close to the Xinzhuang training base.

It's a pity that Brother Bing is in a completely closed training, otherwise he could go and meet the little rich woman...

An hour later, the car stopped downstairs of Vanke Office Park.

Xu Chen saw that there was still enough time, so he took the two girls to a nearby American fast food restaurant and had a quick bite to eat.

Salads, burgers, chicken wings...

Ten minutes after finishing his meal, he contacted his secretary Zhou Kai in advance.

……

After receiving Zhou Kai's reply, Xu Chen took the two girls and walked towards the Vanke Building.

There were several cars parked at the lobby entrance, all of them were luxury business cars.

Mercedes-Benz S, Maybach, Audi A8...

There are also two Toyota Alfas.

Xu Chen stared at a Maybach for a few more seconds, just because of the Zhejiang A license plate. Why did it seem familiar to him?
Zhou Kai came out with a smile, looking warm and polite. After a few words of greeting, he led the three of them towards the elevator hall.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xu. Also, I want to apologize to you on behalf of the company for what happened yesterday."

In the elevator, Zhou Kai whispered when he saw that there was no one else.

Xu Chen: "It's okay. You told me in advance, so I was prepared."

Zhou Kai: “Mr. Wang is still meeting with friends, he will come over later.

The bosses are all here today, and they will finalize the Rancho Santa Fe project.”

Xu Chen: "Okay, anyway, Dongchen Advertising will fully cooperate with Mr. Wang's needs."

……

……

16th floor.

Zhou Kai brought Xu Chen and the other two to a large conference room.

I knocked on the door of the conference room and walked in. There were already a few people sitting inside.

Xu Chen raised his head and took a glance, sneering in his heart.

Vice President Sun Man and Marketing Director Wu Xiaoding, who I met yesterday, are now in the conference room.

When they looked up and saw Xu Chen, they both looked obviously unhappy.

Xu Chen made them lose face yesterday, and the two were obviously still unhappy.

Zhou Kai said politely:
"Mr. Sun, Mr. Wu, Mr. Xu from Dongchen Advertising, you two should know each other, right?"

Sun Man lowered her head and drank the water without saying a word. Wu Xiaoding maintained his outward politeness and nodded slightly.

Zhou Kai pointed to a person sitting next to him:

"This is Mr. Cao Qiyuan, the person in charge of the product side of the 'Rancho Santa Fe' project!"

Cao Qiyuan looked to be in his forties, wearing a navy blue suit and had a big belly.

He was still polite, stood up, got acquainted with Xu Chen, and exchanged business cards.

Cao Qiyuan also gave a brief self-introduction. As the person in charge of the product side, he is mainly responsible for the planning and implementation of villa products.

It can be simply understood that the overall product planning and construction of the "Rancho Santa Fe" villa is coordinated by Cao Qiyuan.

Zhou Kai pointed at the three people sitting behind him:
"These three are colleagues from Black Crane Advertising. The Black Crane team was responsible for the promotion of Rancho Santa Fe earlier...

This is Fang Yu, the executive creative director of Black Crane Advertising. "

Xu Chen couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that they would directly bring the advertising company over.

This is very much like "playing opposite roles".

Black Crane Advertising is a mainland-based advertising company headquartered in Beijing.

From 2000 to the 2010s, Heihe worked on a number of large-scale real estate projects and also intended to develop into an agency specializing in real estate advertising.

It still has a certain influence in the industry.

However, after 2020, with the gradual decrease in real estate projects and the gradual decline of the real estate industry, Heihe did not have time to transform and gradually no one was interested in it.

The Black Crane team was brought here by Sun Man and Wu Xiaoding today, and naturally they had been informed of the background in advance.

When the "Executive Creative Director" Fang Yu introduced Xu Chen to each other, he still showed obvious wariness.

Xu Chen was still very polite and exchanged business cards with Fang Yu.

Fang Yu has a long, square face like a "brick" and looks very stern.

He looked at Xu Chen for a few more times and said softly:
"I didn't expect Mr. Xu... to be so young?"

Xu Chen just smiled politely without explaining anything further.

Fang Yu showed a hint of disdain:
"If you are so young, how can you empathize with the buyers of villas?"

Xu Chen smiled gently and said calmly:
“It’s just a villa worth tens of millions, it’s not like I can’t afford it.

I am the target user myself, so I don’t need to deliberately empathize with others.”

"..."

With just one sentence, Fang Yu was suppressed.

He originally wanted to "challenge" the young Mr. Xu in front of him, but he never expected that the other party would respond like this.

The two subordinates behind Fang Yu instantly looked unhappy.

Sun Man and Wu Xiaoding looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

They couldn’t help but wonder…

Being nominated by Boss Wang to participate in Vanke's project, and now being told that he can buy a villa worth tens of millions...

Could it be that this young “Mr. Xu” really has some background?
……

In fact, for the current "Mr. Xu", a villa worth tens of millions is still a bit stressful.

He said that just now purely to choke Fang Yu back.

The other party has already verbally provoked you, so should you just go along with what he says?
Bragging doesn't cost money, and it can also make the other person unhappy!

Just look at Fang Yu's frustrated expression and you'll know the effect is quite good...

Wu Feifei and Sun Amy looked at each other and both smiled secretly.

Mr. Xu, you are so domineering!
