Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 362 Ice On Fire
After afternoon classes, on the large lawn outside the library.

Seven or eight students from the advertising class gathered together, rehearsing the class program for the end-of-year "welcome party".

Those participating in the rehearsal today are the main actors of the show, and tomorrow, Friday, the whole class will participate in the rehearsal.

Xu Chen plays "a tree" in the show, so he naturally won't be the leading actor.

But as a member of the class committee, he had skipped several rehearsals before, so he still came here today.

Of course, another consideration was to establish a good relationship with the cultural and arts committee member Su Rong and to express gratitude implicitly.

He specially went out to buy a bunch of milk tea and snacks, and the students who were rehearsing thanked "Boss Xu" one after another.

It can also be considered as a small help to the event organizer Su Rong.

Xu Chen sat on the lawn, holding a cup of hot milk tea and a script in his hands, feeling relaxed and comfortable.

I am usually busy with projects in the company, and it is rare for me to feel the youthful campus atmosphere of college students and my peers...

The program was mainly compiled by the cultural and arts committee member Su Rong and the class monitor Min Siyi. It is a light-hearted and funny stage play, with the protagonists all being characters from the "Three Kingdoms".

The actor who played Zhou Yu was originally scheduled to be Chen Wenyi, but due to Chen Wenyi's previous "disappearance", the actor became the "academic master" Jiao Tianbo.

But after participating in two rehearsals, Jiao Tianbo tactfully resigned on his own initiative.

The honest and serious "academic master" really has no talent to be an actor.

Su Rong, who played Xiao Qiao, was very depressed because the role she was going to play opposite her was delayed.

Finally, Chen Qiong, the Shanghai girl who played Diao Chan, suggested that the squad leader Min Siyi play the role in reverse...

The result was unexpected.

Min Siyi is a fair and pretty girl. She looks pure and lovely at first glance, but in fact she has the strong and heroic character of a Sichuan girl. It is surprisingly suitable for her to play the role of Zhou Yu in a cross-dressing role.

……

The rehearsals went on as normal and smoothly, and the main actors quickly got into the rhythm and mood.

There were bursts of laughter.

Xu Chen was drinking milk tea and watching soy sauce on the side, and was also bored and scrolling through his phone.

……

Suddenly I received a message, which turned out to be from Director Li Yue of the General Administration of Sports.

[Teacher Xu Chen, I will be in Shanghai next week and come to visit Dongchen Advertising. I wonder if you are free? ]

Xu Chen frowned slightly, a little worried that Li Yue would not come to him for no reason.

Li Yue is in charge of the external business cooperation of the athletes of the national track and field team, naturally including Xie Bingran's.

Li Yue officially took over the position after his superior An Jinxiong was removed due to the incident involving Jiaduobao's Chen Jinru...

But overall, Xu Chen is no longer too worried about Li Yue.

On the contrary, Li Yue was particularly polite and even wary of Xu Chen after the last incident.

Xu Chen also learned from the side that after Li Yue took office this time, as long as he did not make any major mistakes, his position would basically be secure.

He should have been promoted earlier, but An Jinxiong was parachuted in instead.

Later, when An Jinxiong and his backers fell, Li Yue was no longer in trouble...

Xu Chen put down the milk tea in his hand and replied while typing:
[Hello Director Li, I will be in Shanghai next week, you can come anytime, I will arrange the reception! ]

Xu Chen suddenly thought of Nie Fei and added:
[It turns out that Vice President Nie Fei of Jiaduobao Group is also currently in our company. We can meet each other then! ]

Previously, Nie Fei had worked with Li Yue on the Kunlun Mountain mineral water project, so naturally the two knew each other.

Li Yue replied:
[Okay! I heard Coach Cheng Hong mention it before, but I didn’t expect that Mr. Nie would actually come to your place…

Congratulations! Mr. Xu's business is really getting bigger and bigger...】

Li Yue was obviously still very polite, with a bit of flattery.

This made "Mr. Xu" feel more at ease.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Li Yue said he would visit him next Monday at noon.

Xu Chen agreed and told Nie Fei in the group.

Nie Fei immediately replied:
[Okay, I'll arrange a place for the lunch reception! ]

……

……

It was getting dark and the rehearsal had officially ended. The overall rehearsal of the program had been completed to a high degree.

Miss Su Rong, the main person in charge, was obviously relieved.

The crowd then dispersed.

Pei Qian and Huo Dashan from the next dormitory invited Xu Chen to have dinner.

Xu Chen apologized and said:

"You guys go ahead, I have to go back to the company to take care of some things!"

Everyone dispersed, but Xu Chen was still waiting for Su Rong.

There will be a conference call with the design company in London in the evening, and Su Rong will also attend.

It is naturally a good thing for "Ranbing Sports" to let Su Rong get involved.

After all, the core midsole materials still rely on her father's company...

Finally, only Min Siyi, Su Rong and Xu Chen were left on the lawn.

Xu Chen helped to pick up things very seriously.

Class monitor Min Siyi noticed something strange, glanced at the two people in front of him, and said with a sly smile:

"There's something strange about you two..."

Xu Chen: “…”

Su Rong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained:
"Xu Chen's company has a project, and I just happened to be participating in it...

There happens to be a conference call tonight."

She looked obviously flustered, as if she was afraid that a "scandal" would spread.

After all, girls are more gossipy than boys.

Perhaps the previous incident with Chen Wenyi had already caused Su Rong to experience some embarrassment in the girls’ dormitory.

In addition, boys usually discuss these things with a joking and playful attitude, and basically do not have any malicious intent...

When girls discuss such things, they often show some inexplicable hostility, jealousy or contempt.

Xu Chen still spoke generously:

"We are really discussing a project, and Su Rong happens to be able to help us!"

Min Siyi smiled:

"Okay, I understand!"

……

……

Ten minutes later, in the Dongchen Advertising office.

As soon as Xu Chen and Su Rong walked in, they saw a bustling scene inside.

It turned out that "Vice President Zhou" and "Miss Wu" had come over.

Zhou Junjun is a "lively treasure" and the place is basically full of laughter when he is around.

Wu Feifei has a cheerful and generous personality, and it is obvious that she already knows Zhou Junjun and is very familiar with her.

Seeing Xu Chen bringing Su Rong in, Zhou Junjun smiled and said:

"Is this classmate Su Rong? I've heard of her for a long time!
She is indeed extremely graceful and has an extraordinary temperament!"

Vice President Zhou's words are exaggerated, and he always likes to show off his knowledge...

Su Rong looked anxious and followed behind Xu Chen without daring to speak.

Xu Chen was speechless and whispered:

"Don't be afraid, he's not a bad guy."

Wu Feifei had already walked over and got to know Su Rong directly:

"Hello, my name is Wu Feifei!"

"Hello, I'm Su Rong..."

I think Wu Feifei already has a general idea about Su Rong and Wan Rong's materials.

Xu Chen introduced with a smile:
"Fei Fei is also Xie Bingran's fellow villager. We are from the same place."

Su Rong thought about it and showed a look of delight:
"Oh, yes! I've seen a photo of you and Xie Bingran!"

Xu Chen pointed at Zhou Junjun who was standing beside him:
“This is Zhou Junjun, Vice President Zhou.

The shoes designed by our Ranbing Sports for Xie Bingran were produced by Vice President Zhou Xiao's factory!"

Zhou Junjun came over, restrained his exaggerated expression, and said in a slightly serious tone:

"I'm from Fujian Lifeng Shoes. Actually, our company has had some procurement cooperation with Wanrong Materials before...

But you may not know it! "

Su Rong still looked reserved:

"Hello, Mr. Zhou. You can just call me Su Rong."

Nie Fei smiled and said:

"Let's eat first! Xinxin helped order tacos!"

Meeting room. With so many people gathered together, the meeting room seemed small.

Several large boxes of tacos were placed on the table, and everyone started eating with their hands without hesitation.

This kind of roll from Mexico in South America has never been popular in China, but it is actually much more delicious than hamburgers and French fries.

……

Everyone was talking and laughing.

The main reason is that with the presence of Zhou Junjun, a "lively treasure", the atmosphere will not be dull.

Xu Chen was a little worried that he would scare the little girl with some dirty jokes, but fortunately he was more restrained today.

Su Rong was still a little reserved, so Wu Feifei took the initiative to sit next to her.

The two girls quickly started chatting to each other and were showing signs of becoming good friends.

This is also Miss Wu's personality advantage. She is generous and cheerful and can easily become good friends with others.

Su Rong was very happy when she learned that Wu Feifei was a student at Shanghai Foreign Language School and also a freshman.

Wu Feifei said with a smile:

"Come to Shanghai Foreign Language School on the weekends and I'll take you out to play!"

Su Rong: "Okay! I've always wanted to go and see it too!

I heard your school is very beautiful..."

Wu Feifei glanced at Xu Chen:

"I won't have to look for just you when I come to your school next time!
I will come to play with Su Rong later!"

Xu Chen laughed evilly:
"You can also look for Jiao Tianbo!"

Wu Feifei pursed her lips and deliberately showed an angry expression.

Su Rong blinked:
"You also know Jiao Tianbo!"

Xu Chen whispered:

"Tianbo, you really care about Feifei!"

Su Rong said "Oh" and seemed to understand.

Wu Feifei took a big bite of taco and obviously didn't want to talk about her "nerd brother".

She remembered something else and said to Su Rong with a smile:
"I heard you're going to watch the Asian Games too. We can stay in the same room!"

Su Rong: "Really? That's great!"

She was still a timid little girl, and was a little afraid to sleep alone in a room outside, let alone in a foreign country.

Now that I can be with Wu Feifei, I am naturally very happy.

Wu Feifei looked at Xu Chen and said:

"Asian Games, is Brother Bing going there early?"

Xu Chen: "Brother Bing will fly to Beijing next week...

The national team has an assembly and departure activity, which is probably equivalent to pre-war mobilization.

Then we will go directly to Doha.

Brother Bing will also attend the opening ceremony on the 1st!"

Wu Feifei: "Great! Then I can see Brother Bing in the live broadcast of the opening ceremony!"

……

Nie Fei has always eaten very little. At this moment, he was holding a can of Diet Coke and replying to messages on his mobile phone.

She suddenly moved closer to Xu Chen and whispered:
"Jiang Yuze and Sun Lingfeng have already communicated, and they will both join."

Xu Chen was stunned:
"That's great!"

Jiang Yuze and Sun Lingfeng are the colleagues who were interviewed previously and are responsible for the e-commerce distribution of "Ranbing Sports".

Nie Fei nodded:

“It’s indeed better if they both come at the same time.

Sun Lingfeng can handle the online store in the short term.

Jiang Yuze is also capable of planning long-term distribution layout.”

She thought for a while and added:
“Gu Xinxin’s execution tasks can also be shared by Jiang Yuze and Sun Lingfeng.

For example, Sun Lingfeng can handle the production of official websites for Morningwind Technology, Burning Ice Sports, and Dongchen Advertising."

……

Xu Chen turned his head and looked outside the meeting room, then said to Nie Fei:

"With more employees, our office seems small...

As for Amy, I also asked her to hire another designer!"

Nie Fei understood what Xu Chen meant:
"Xinxin and I will go take a look. It would be best if there is one on another floor of the same building.

If that doesn’t work, look for a nearby office.”

Wu Feifei heard the noise here:

“Want to change offices?”

Xu Chen: “With new colleagues joining us, we need to find a bigger office.

What’s more, we are two companies running together!”

Wu Feifei: "You have to leave a workstation for me!"

Xu Chen: "Of course!"

……

……

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the conference call with London started on time.

Su Rong and Wu Feifei were only there to "listen" and sat obediently aside.

The meeting was mainly chaired by Nie Fei, and Gu Xinxin had helped to organize some information.

When the cross-border call was connected, Nie Fei communicated directly with the other party in English.

In fact, foreigners don’t exchange too many pleasantries and just go straight to the point.

Both sides briefly introduced the participants.

On the "Ranbing Sports" side, Nie Fei focused on introducing Xu Chen and Zhou Junjun.

Opposite us are the customer development director, chief designer and several colleagues from the design team of “PearlCat Design Studio”.

The chief designer named Leon Chu is the Chinese artist mentioned by Nie Fei before, who has lived in both America and Europe.

Leon Chu also introduced himself in Chinese. His original Chinese name is Zhu Yunang.

"Just call me Leon...

Because all the colleagues here are from London, we still need to communicate in English.

If there are any difficulties, I can also translate for you. ”

Just by listening to the voice, Zhu Yunang could imagine that he sounded "gentle and handsome".

The meeting was still mainly focused on Nie Fei’s synchronization needs.

Nie Fei first briefly introduced the background of the establishment of "Ranbing Sports" and some brand concepts of "Ranbing-Ice On Fire".

Naturally, a more detailed introduction was also given to the core figure, Xie Bingran.

Some photos and video materials of Xie Bingran participating in the competition were also synchronized.

Following Nie Fei's introduction, Gu Xinxin also synchronized the relevant information in real time in the MSN project group.

And when the other party watched the video of Xie Bingran winning the competition, they could still hear bursts of exclamations and admiration from the phone.

The charm of sports competition naturally transcends national boundaries.

……

In his previous life, Xu Chen had worked in a foreign company for two years and had also worked with overseas project teams when he was at Tencent in Pengcheng. Therefore, he felt basically no pressure to attend this kind of purely English meeting.

"Vice President Zhou" scratched his head, clearly looking troubled.

The other young ladies were extremely serious, but faced with this scene which was almost like a "listening test", they were still obviously struggling.

……

Afterwards, Nie Fei synchronized the design requirements for "Ranbing 001".

Naturally, this requirement had been discussed with Xu Chen in advance.

First, the conceptual definition of "national tide" was explained, as well as the unique "national tide sports" brand image that "Ranbing Sports" wanted to create.

Then comes the core product positioning: professional jogging shoes with lightweight and soft elastic soles.

……

During Nie Fei's introduction, the person on the other end of the phone remained quiet and listened attentively.

After Nie Fei finished his introduction, the voice of the "chief designer" Leon Chu was heard.

He spoke in Chinese with some turbulent emotions:

“National trend, these two words are so good.

The collision of Chinese trendy design elements and fashionable sports competition...

The two words "Ran Bing" are better, Ice On Fire, everything is perfect!
I feel very excited now!"
