Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 425 What Prize
At the "Great Wall Award" ceremony, the last "Grand Prize" was finally announced.

Second row VIP area.

Two young men walked out hand in hand, one after the other, and headed towards the stage.

Sitting in the VIP area were advertising creatives who had just received gold, silver, and bronze awards.

They basically all come from the top 4A companies in the country.

But when they saw the two young men going up to the stage to receive the "Grand Prize", everyone couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"What kind of company is Dongchen Advertising? Why have I never heard of it before?"

"Is it a foreign-funded or local company? Or a Taiwan or island company?"

“It can’t be a local advertising company…

How can this be? "

“The grand prize was won by a local company?!”

“But the ‘fear of getting angry’ project is really well done, it directly beat out several new beverage products launched this year!”

"It's really hard to say anything. It's really ruthless to completely promote a product with just a wave of advertising!"

"Look, look! Is that boy the main creator?

Why are you so young? "

“This guy looks… less than twenty years old?
How can I become a creative director? ! "

……

A seat in the back corner of the venue.

A group of students from Tonghai University were stunned when they saw their "junior" Xu Chen who had just walked onto the stage, and the "boy" following behind him wearing a baseball cap and a black mask.

The "Xu Chen" that the award presenter just read out turned out to be Xu Chen, a freshman in the advertising class at the same college? !
"Oh my god! Is it really Xu Chen?!"

"Is this true? And what about the mysterious boy who has been following him these past two days?"

"This is awesome! The Grand Prix of the Great Wall Awards!

This is better than a bunch of good foreign 4A projects!"

"Dongchen Advertising... Is this Xu Chen's own company?"

Zhang Yuchen, a junior in the photography class, seemed to have remembered something and said:
"That's Xu Chen's own company...

When we went to Doha to watch the Asian Games, we heard about it from two classmates of Xu Chen.

It is said that he opened an advertising company, and it should be Dongchen Advertising.

I just didn’t expect that I would win the Great Wall Award today, and it’s the grand prize.”

"The most unexpected thing is that the 'Afraid of Getting Angry' ad was actually made by Xu Chen.

This is the big project that everyone knows about this year.”

“That’s awesome!

Last month, I saw this case explained in the column of "Dragon Song List"...

I never thought our junior would do this!"

"Xu Chen received two first prizes in the Grand Cantonese Contest yesterday, and he was a little bit dissatisfied at first.

As a result, I won the Great Wall Award today. I am speechless..."

……

……

Xu Chen led Xie Bingran onto the podium.

Brother Bing was dragged up here by force, and followed behind Xu Chen, probably feeling a little confused.

Fortunately, she has a cold personality, especially in crowded places, she exudes a strong sense of strength...

He didn't show any sign of timidity at all, and still looked cool and confident.

At this moment, he was also wearing a baseball cap and a black mask, which seemed to fit the strange style of some "creative people".

The two were guided by the host and stood in the center of the stage.

The male host from Tencent looked at the two people in front of him, showing a look of embarrassment and confusion.

He wanted to figure out who was the Creative Director Xu Chen...

But Xu Chen himself looks very young.

The other one was wearing a hat and a mask, so his face couldn't be seen.

Also somewhat confused were the two guests holding the trophy and certificate, advertising tycoon Lao Shuangan and the head of the Advertising Association...

Xu Chen seemed to have noticed something strange, so he took a small step forward and whispered, "I am Xu Chen..."

……

The first row of guest seats.

Lin Ruyang adjusted his glasses and smoothed the sparse hair on his forehead.

His eyes passed through the dazzling lights on the stage and he finally confirmed that the young man was his "favorite disciple" Xu Chen.

Dean Lin laughed out loud and stood up.

He seemed a little anxious and turned around to pat Professor Jin Changhai of Xiamen University on the shoulder.

Then he pointed at Xu Chen on the stage, but stuttered and couldn't speak for a moment...

Professor Jin Changhai looked confused.

I wondered if this old man Lin Ruyang was outshined by me yesterday and today, and was so angry and embarrassed that he even had a mental breakdown?
What does it mean that I just patted myself?
And the anxious and stuttering look at this moment...

Done!

This is a scam!

Get away from this old guy...

……

Center stage.

Xu Chen took over the golden "Golden Great Wall" from the "advertising tycoon" Lao Shuangan.

The head of the Advertising Association held up the award certificate with both hands...

However, Xu Chen pulled Xie Bingran forward.

Xie Bingran was stunned for a moment, but still half-bent over and took the red certificate from the leader.

……

Lao Shuangran shook hands with Xu Chen, smiling with surprise on his face.

Then he spoke in Mandarin with a strong Hong Kong accent:

"I didn't expect that he was so young?"

Xu Chen: "Hello, Teacher Shuang'an, I admire you very much and I am very honored to receive this trophy from you..."

Lao Shuangan smiled.

These few simple sentences show the young man’s emotional intelligence and thoughtfulness.

……

Take a group photo.

As the lights flickered, Xu Chen happened to catch a glimpse of Dean Lin Ruyang sitting in a row of guest seats.

The old man stood in the stage and clapped his hands vigorously, his eyes revealing immense pride and "favor".

For some reason, that feeling of "pampering" actually reminded Xu Chen of his father Xu Zhiquan.

……

The host asked the people on the stage to stay.

We also interviewed the chairman of the jury, Lao Shuangen.

“I think my colleagues in the advertising industry need no further explanation as to how excellent this ad is.

And this comes from a purely local advertising company, which is also extremely valuable.”

He turned around and looked at Xu Chen with a smile:
“And it’s really surprising that our lead CD creator is so young.”

The host took over the conversation and handed the microphone to Xu Chen, asking him if he had any "acceptance speech".

Xu Chen really had no preparation, but he still behaved calmly and confidently.

The “acceptance speech” is naturally mainly about “thanks”.

“Thank you Great Wall Award, thank you judges…

Thanks to my alma mater, Tonghai University..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chen saw Dean Lin Ruyang standing in a row out of the corner of his eye and laughed heartily twice.

Professor Jin Changhai next to him seemed to finally understand.

He looked at the overly excited Lin Ruyang, then turned to look at the young man on the stage, with an expression of disbelief...

It was not until this moment that Professor Jin Changhai, who was a little dazzled and face-blind, suddenly recognized this "Xu Chen".

It turns out that the two first prize winners of the national “Advertisement Contest” yesterday were also him…

In the back corner of the venue, applause and cheers came from the dozen or so seniors from Tonghai University.

……

Xu Chen paused for a moment.

He turned his head to look at Brother Bing beside him, smiled and said:

"Thank you, too, to the people around me..."

Xie Bingran's face was covered by a mask and his expression could not be seen.

But there was a warm smile in her beautiful eyes.

……

…The award ceremony ended successfully.

As soon as Xu Chen and Xie Bingran walked off the stage, they were stopped by Dean Lin Ruyang.

Professor Lin grabbed Xu Chen's arm and said cheerfully:
"You can't skip classes anymore. Come to the dinner party tonight."

Xu Chen smiled awkwardly, but then said:

"Can I bring someone with me?"

Lin Ruyang turned his head and looked at the young man wearing a hat and mask:

"of course can!"

Just then, a few other guests gathered around.

They are all judges of the "Great Wall Award", including advertising tycoons from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, as well as Professor Jin Changhai from Xiamen University.

In front of Professor Lin, who looked happy and proud, Professor Jin seemed to have quietly restrained his edge, and his momentum was obviously suppressed.

Lin Ruyang smiled and pulled Xu Chen to introduce it to everyone:
"This is my beloved disciple!"

Xu Chen was a little speechless.

Didn’t we just officially meet and get to know each other yesterday…when did you become my “beloved disciple”?

Of course, Dean Lin has no bad intentions.

With his temperament that shows his emotions clearly, he is actually an old professor with a clear mind.

Lin Ruyang pulled Xu Chen aside and introduced him to a group of "celebrities" in the advertising and academic circles.

Xu Chen was still somewhat secretly happy in his heart. After this wave of connections, he had accumulated some connections.

With the help of Dean Lin, he also exchanged business cards with a number of bigwigs and exchanged phone numbers with each other.

Talking and laughing.

……

……

There was also an internal communication meeting of the jury later, and the staff came over to urge them.

Lin Ruyang seemed to be afraid that Xu Chen would "escape" again, and said with his eyes wide open:
"You can't run away. Come with me to the dinner party tonight!"

Xu Chen smiled awkwardly:

"Yes, Dean Lin."

……

At the same time, a group of people gathered around and said "Congratulations".

Xu Chen turned around and saw that they were his seniors from the same college.

Everyone was very envious and curious about the Great Wall Award trophy, so Xu Chen generously let them play with it.

"What a heavy golden wall! Is it made of pure gold?"

"Gold-plated, right? If it were pure gold, it would weigh a pound..."

This group of juniors and seniors were now more serious about "re-acquainting" Xu Chen.

In fact, we had met briefly yesterday, but I guess neither of us took it too seriously.

In fact, Xu Chen couldn't remember many names...

But at this moment, this group of seniors in their third and fourth years seemed to treat Xu Chen as a "connection" and even made more in-depth self-introductions.

Everyone was also very curious about Xu Chen's "Dongchen Advertising" and took the initiative to ask about some things related to the advertising business.

There were even a few seniors who took the initiative to ask if there were any internship positions.

Xu Chen laughed it off and said that he was not in charge of personnel matters and that he had to go back and ask the human resources director first.

Xu Chen glanced at Xie Bingran beside him again, and was afraid that she would get bored after waiting too long, so he wanted to end the topic as soon as possible.

He looked around and deliberately changed the subject and asked:

"Where's Teacher Ni Zhi? Why didn't I see him this afternoon?"

Senior Zhao Siting said:

"Professor Ni was sent out by Dean Lin to participate in a forum exchange activity, so he didn't come this afternoon."

Xu Chen smiled and nodded: "I see."

Senior Zhang Yuchen looked at Xu Chen with enthusiasm and said:

"Xu Chen, are you taking the same train with us tomorrow?"

Xu Chen: "I will stay in Kuncheng for two more days before leaving. It happens to be the New Year's Day holiday."

Zhang Yuchen: "What a pity! I was hoping to find an opportunity to ask you for advice."

Xu Chen: "Wait until we get back to school..."

Zhang Yuchen smiled and said, "Okay!"

Senior Zhao Siting glanced at the time and said:
"We have an appointment to eat Yunnan hotpot, Xu Chen...

Can you and your friends come together?"

Xu Chen looked embarrassed:

"President Lin called me to attend the Great Wall Award dinner."

Zhao Siting smiled, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Some other students, upon hearing the word "dinner", showed envy:
"The Great Wall Awards dinner! So cool!"

"Then can you talk to the advertising boss?"

"It's more than just striking up a conversation. It's no problem to introduce yourself and even try to get a job opportunity after graduation."

"..."

Xu Chen remained silent.

As expected, students in their third and fourth years are already thinking about their jobs after graduation.

"Mr. Xu" still didn't take it seriously. After all, for him, there was no such worry as "finding a job".

Not to mention his own company, he also received an offer for a vice president position at Vanke...

……

Xu Chen was just looking for an opportunity to leave when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the three rows behind him.

I happened to see Zhao Ling, Vice President of Marketing of Baidu Group, and her assistant Miao Xiaoyu.

Zhao Ling and Miao Xiaoyu were actually "waiting" for Xu Chen with a smile, and it was obvious that they had something to say.

After thinking about it for a moment, Xu Chen remembered the "project requirements" that Zhao Ling mentioned.

He looked at Zhao Siting:

"Senior, I have something else to discuss..."

Zhao Siting said "Oh":
"You go and do your work..."

A group of seniors finally calmed down from their excitement and said goodbye to Xu Chen.

……

Xu Chen took Xie Bingran and finally escaped from the "siege".

He turned to look at the little rich woman:

"Tired?"

Brother Bing smiled through his mask:
"You're tired."

Xu Chen: "I still have to go discuss business."

Xie Bingran: "Oh... I'll just follow you."

Xu Chen: "If you are too bored or don't want to attend the dinner later, I will send you back to the hotel first."

Xie Bingran: "I want to follow you."

……

As they were talking, Zhao Ling and Miao Xiaoyu came over with smiles on their faces.

"Congratulations, Mr. Xu!"

Zhao Ling extended her hand politely and enthusiastically and shook hands with Xu Chen.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao! I didn't expect you haven't left yet..." Xu Chen said with a smile.

Zhao Ling: "I'm waiting for you. I want to discuss the project with Mr. Xu in more detail!"

Xu Chen smiled and thought, as expected.

Zhao Ling: "Or, I'll treat Mr. Xu to dinner?"

Xu Chen: "I'm so sorry, I still have to attend the organizer's dinner.

It doesn’t matter, there’s a long way to go.

Let’s first briefly discuss the project requirements…”

Zhao Ling looked around and took Xu Chen and Xie Bingran to a quiet corner on the east side of the venue.

There just happened to be a tea break there.

"I wonder if Mr. Xu knows about our Baidu's business?"

Xu Chen: "Of course I know about it. I am a user of search engines, Tieba, Zhidao...

Zhao Ling: "That's great."

She paused for a moment:

"Our project is being personally monitored by our big boss, Li Yanhong..."
