Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 466 Invitation

Xu Chen smiled:
"Dad, you did the right thing!"

Xu Zhiquan took a puff of his cigarette:
"I didn't tell you and Ranran because I was afraid you two would think too much.

Dad has been through this before, and this is all for your future."

Xu Chen: "I understand."

Xu Zhiquan: "The matter has been suppressed, and they dare not come to our house again.

Including Ranran, they didn't dare to contact her alone anymore.

Feng Wenjiang also arranged for people from the town and village to help keep an eye on the situation.

Ran Ran is now the glory of the city, Feng Wenjiang himself has the responsibility to help watch over her! "

Xu Chen poured more tea for his father:
"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for coming..."

Xu Zhiquan smiled heartily, and stretched out his big hand to pinch his son's shoulder:

"Since you know everything, you can judge for yourself as to whether or not to communicate with Ran Ran."

Xu Chen thought about it and was still a little hesitant.

In fact, Xie Bingran had never talked to Xu Chen about his parents face to face.

Xu Chen first learned about Xie Bingran’s family situation when he was in junior high school and was the class monitor. He heard about it from his homeroom teacher when he was about to register for a scholarship.

Later, some bad rumors about Xie Bingran's father began to spread in the school.

Xu Chen had no idea what Bing felt towards her biological parents...

Xu Zhiquan glanced at his son again, put out the cigarette in his hand, and said:
“I also asked Feng Wenjiang to help check about Ranran’s father.

There is indeed no news at the moment, and it is unclear where the person has gone.”

“He was released at the end of the year before last, and soon after he was released, we couldn’t find him anymore.

It seems that his social relationships are quite complicated, and he had some creditors and enemies before.”

Xu Zhiquan paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice:
"Feng Wenjiang said that there is a high probability that the person is already dead."

……

After returning to the room, Xu Chen sent a message to Fang Tao alone, naturally asking about related matters.

Fang Tao replied:
[I told Mr. Xu first.]

Mr. Xu handled the matter and then said not to let Brother Bing know about it for the time being.

I thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, so I didn’t tell Brother Bing about it. 】

Xu Chen: [Okay, I understand.]

……

……

Early the next morning.

When Xu Chen got up, Xu Zhiquan had already gone out.

There was breakfast left on the table, including fried dough sticks and big buns.

Xu Chen happily filled his stomach and drove straight to "Tiansheng Mansion".

A batch of furniture that I ordered earlier has arrived, and I’m going to arrange it today.

……

As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw two workers moving a large dining table in.

Fang Jun's sister stood at the door, her hands folded in front of her chest, acting as a supervisor with an expressionless look on her face.

"Morning, Sister Fang Jun!"

Xu Chen looked well-behaved and quickly went up to say hello.

Xu Chen was originally going to receive the furniture that arrived today by himself, but Fang Jun seemed a little worried and said she wanted to come and take a look.

Fang Jun nodded to Xu Chen, and the two of them went into the house.

The sofa, coffee table, TV cabinet, etc. in the living room have all been installed.

Xu Chen looked around:

"It really looks good, almost the same as the design renderings."

He couldn't help but take out his cell phone and took a few careful pictures.

Fang Jun spoke expressionlessly:
"I've already sent Brother Bing to see it."

Xu Chen: “Oh…”

The bedroom and study have also been decorated, making it a warm little home ready for move-in at any time.

Fang Jun took Xu Chen for a stroll and then said:

“Just a little ventilation for two days.

But the furniture we chose were all stock and ventilated, so there was no smell.

They are all made of solid wood and contain no harmful substances.”

Xu Chen looked well behaved again:
"With Sister Fang Jun's help, it's definitely appropriate."

Fang Jun still smiled complacently:

"Then you owe me another drink."

Xu Chen: "Okay, okay!"

Fang Jun: "Brother Bing will be back for the New Year, right?"

Xu Chen: "When she comes back, I'll invite her over for a drink."

Fang Jun: "I heard from Li Rui that Brother Bing has a good alcohol tolerance.

It’s a pity that she can’t drink it now.”

She remembered something else, picked up a handbag from the coffee table and handed it to Xu Chen.

Xu Chen took it and looked at it:
"Thank you, Sister Fang Jun. I also want to thank Sister Fang Jun on behalf of Brother Bing!"

This is a gift for Brother Bing, brought back from abroad by the almighty Sister Fang Jun.

Fang Jun supervised the workers to set up the last table, then turned to Xu Chen and said:
"I have to go back to the park to work. Do you want to pack up or come back with me?"

Xu Chen thought for a moment:
“I’ll just admire it here.”

Fang Jun: "Okay!"

As she spoke, she handed the room key to Xu Chen.

Xu Chen: "How did Sister Fang Jun get here? How about I drive you back?"

Fang Jun: "No, I'm driving."

Having said that, he turned around and walked out in a cool manner.

Xu Chen was still polite and sent the "God of Wealth" straight to the elevator.

After respectfully watching Fang Jun take the elevator down, Xu Chen turned around and went back into the house.

……

The pure black sofa is made of calfskin.

Soft and skin-friendly.

Xu Chen sat down, then lay down for a while, feeling very satisfied.

He sat in the living room for a while, then turned and went to the small study.

Bookshelves, desks, ergonomic chairs...

Xu Chen sat down comfortably. Behind him was the small balcony of the study, and a fresh and cool breeze blew in slowly.

He couldn't help but feel some emotion again.

This is the first warm "little home" for me and Brother Bing.

Of course, more importantly, I am happy for Brother Bing.

Xu Chen had been to the dilapidated old house in Nanhe Village. It had fallen into disrepair and was not very habitable.

Now that Brother Bing has this house in Tiancheng, he finally has a proper home.

Although it is highly likely that Brother Bing will not come back to live often, especially during the few years or decades he is still in service, having a property in his hometown gives him an emotional home.

……

I opened my phone and saw messages flashing in the company group.

When I clicked on it, I saw a bunch of messages saying "Congratulations, Boss" and "Congratulations, Mr. Xu". It turned out to be the "Effie Awards" this morning...

Nie Fei went to receive the award with Sun Amy. The case of "Fear of Getting Angry" won two major awards, "Gold Award for Effectiveness" and "Special Case of the Year".

In the group, Sun Amy shared some photos. In the group photo on the stage, in addition to Nie Fei and Sun Amy, there was also Chen Xinyi from the marketing department of Jiaduobao.

Xu Chen had a very good impression of Chen Xinyi, a young girl who spoke with a strong Cantonese accent.

I first got to know Nie Fei when she happened to be leading a team to Tiancheng to do market research and pay a visit.

Among the subordinates that Nie Fei led at that time, there was Chen Xinyi, who was rigorous and meticulous in his work.

The group was bustling with activity. In addition to the on-site photos shared by Sun Amy, Gu Xinxin had also shared some PRs officially released by the "Effie Awards".

"Dongchen Advertising won the Effie Annual Special Case Award and was also the winner of the Great Wall Award of the Year last year..."

"The 'Fear of Getting Angry' case won the Effie Gold Award in the Effectiveness category, and Dongchen Advertising has officially become a 'hot creative store'!"

"What you don't know about Dongchen Advertising: Few people have heard of it, but it has won major clients such as Jiaduobao, Jeep, and Vanke..."

"Who exactly is Xu Chen from Dongchen Advertising?"

……

Xu Chen glanced at the news headlines and felt that they were too serious.

But this is a good thing, which will be beneficial to enhancing the popularity and industry influence of "Dongchen Advertising".

Of course, it is also good for future business expansion...

In the company group, several seniors in their third and fourth years were also congratulating Xu Chen.

Xu Chen still responded politely:

[When I come back, we'll have a dinner to celebrate! ]

Gu Xinxin: [I will win more awards next year!
We have so many great projects coming out, I have already started researching the awards! 】

……

Xu Chen sent a separate message to Sister Fei, asking her about the Effie Awards event.

[It’s a pity that you didn’t come. Many colleagues in the advertising circle want to make friends with Teacher Xu Chen! ]

[It's good to have Sister Fei here, just help the company build some connections, I don't like dealing with people or saying nice things. ]

Nie Fei: [By the way, there is one more thing...

As the business volume has expanded this year, the pressure to recruit people has also increased.

I just talked to Chen Xinyi and she is also interested in coming.

Xinyi is still a very reliable girl. I have been with her in Jiaduobao for more than three years.

Mr. Xu, please take a look at the time. We can interview again after the New Year. 】

Xu Chen: [Hahaha, no interview required!

Miss Xinyi is very reliable, just let Miss Fei make the decision! 】

Nie Fei: [Okay, then I will arrange for her to join the company.

She still has to take over the Jiaduobao business, so she will probably come back after the New Year. 】

Xu Chen: [No problem, we should expand our team as soon as possible.

I see that Jiang Yuze and Sun Lingfeng from Burning Ice are also working overtime every day. 】

Nie Fei: [I'm already looking for people. There have been too many things to do recently, but with three interns, things have eased a little.]

Xu Chen and Nie Fei had already briefly discussed the team planning for "Ranbing Sports" and "Dongchen Advertising" in 07.

Based on the work arrangements for the whole year, both sides still have a clear need for expansion.

"Dongchen Advertising" is divided into [Creative Department] and [Customer Department].

[Creative Department] is led by Sun Amy. In addition to Tang Xiaowei, it is necessary to recruit 3 additional people, a total of 4 full-time subordinates.

[Customer Department] is led by Gu Xinxin, and will add 3 additional full-time staff this year.

"Ranbing Sports" will be divided into [Product Department], [Marketing Department] and [E-commerce Department].

The [Product Department] will be directly led by Nie Fei. The current team includes Zhou Junjun and the product team from Lifeng Shoes.

This year, we will consider hiring a full-time "Chief Designer" for the [Product Department].

However, since the requirements will be very high, the selection of this "chief designer" cannot be rushed for the time being.

But now we have "Pearl Cat" and "Chen Youjian Studio" to help with the design, so we are not too anxious.

[Marketing Department] is responsible for overall marketing promotion. It will be led by Jiang Yuze and will form a team of 5 people.

[Operation Department] is responsible for e-commerce channel operation, user operation, etc., led by Sun Lingfeng. The execution of this module is very complicated and a team of 10 people will be built.

In addition, the two companies will share functional departments.

[Administrative Department] In addition to the existing Han Mina Nana, one additional person will be recruited.

[Finance Department] There will be a two-person team to cooperate, and they will report directly to Fang Jun and report to Nie Fei through a dotted line.

[Human Resources Department] There will be 2 people responsible for the personnel-related work of the two companies "Ranbing Sports" and "Dongchen Advertising"...

In this way, it is expected that by the second half of the year, the team of Hucheng Company will expand to a size of 30 people.

Xu Chen also doesn't want the company to have too many people.

For example, hundreds or thousands of people, just thinking about it makes it very troublesome to manage.

Both "Ranbing Sports" and "Dongchen Advertising" are business models that can be run in a lightweight manner, and do not require the recruitment of a large number of people.

This year, the team will expand to 30 people to meet current business needs.

Let’s see later, and discuss it with Sister Fei if necessary.

……

Regarding the "Effie Award", Xu Chen soon received several "congratulations" messages, which turned out to be from partners in the circle.

The first are Liu Wenqin from BBDO and director Bao Junsen.

After that, there were also Gong Ming, the vice president of marketing of Jiaduobao, and Sun Yat-Shen, the brand group director of Procter & Gamble.

Xu Chen responded politely one by one and expressed his gratitude.

Gong Ming, Vice President of Jiaduobao, was naturally very happy that the “Fear of Getting Angry” case won an award.

This can help Wang Laoshun brand enhance its influence within the industry, and also enhance the influence of Gong Ming's marketing department within the group.

It was only natural for him and Xu Chen to "congratulate each other".

And P&G's "Sister Sia" Sun Yat-Sze also came to congratulate, which was naturally a deliberate consideration to maintain the relationship.

In addition, Xu Chen actually received a message from the "advertising tycoon" Mo Kangsun.

Earlier at the "Great Wall Award" dinner in Kuncheng, Xu Chen and this "legendary advertising man" from Hong Kong Island exchanged contact information.

Later, we met again when Baidu was pitching for a position.

At that time, Mo Kangsun did not have any airs of a big shot at all, and he actually took the initiative to come over and say hello to Xu Chen.

Today, in addition to congratulating Xu Chen, Mo Kangsun also sent an invitation:
[I am also fortunate to serve as the Honorary President of the "China 4A Advertising Association".

I wonder if Dongchen Advertising has the willingness and interest to become an official member of the "Huaxia 4A Advertising Association"? 】

"Huaxia 4A Advertising Association" is a semi-official 4A advertising organization in China.

At the beginning, it was composed of a group of foreign-funded 4A companies that entered the country in the early years.

The vision was to introduce national advertising creation concepts and systems to the mainland, where the advertising industry was just starting out at the time.

“Huaxia 4A” are basically foreign-funded companies, and it was only in the last two or three years that they began to absorb very excellent domestic local advertising agencies.

The fact that Dongchen Advertising received the invitation is undoubtedly a great recognition from the industry.

Moreover, "Huaxia 4A" is an invitation-based system and one cannot apply for it proactively.

Xu Chen did not expect that the person who invited "Dongchen Advertising" was the legendary advertiser Mo Kangsun from Hong Kong.

Although Mo Kangsun has no airs of a big shot, he is a real big shot at the level of "Advertising Godfather" in the Chinese advertising circle.

Xu Chen was naturally honored and quickly replied politely:

[It is such an honor to receive the invitation from "Huaxia 4A".

Especially to receive an invitation from Mr. Mok himself, I am really flattered! 】

[Mr. Xu, you are too polite. Then it’s settled.]

As the promoter of "Dongchen Advertising", I will submit a formal recommendation letter to "Huaxia 4A"! 】

[Thank you again, Mr. Mok! I have another project to go to Beijing after the New Year. I will go to McCann-Erickson and thank you in person! ]
