Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 494 Study and Career

Thursday.

During the morning break, Xu Chen sent a separate message to the class monitor Min Siyi, asking for leave again.

Min Siyi replied: [Why do you and Su Rong always take leave together recently?
There is something strange...】

Xu Chen was speechless. Actually, he had nothing to hide, so he replied frankly:
[Su Rong is interning in our company, and we just happen to be going on a business trip together for a project. ]

Min Siyi: [Does your company still recruit interns? I really want to come and learn. ]

Xu Chen hesitated and pondered for a moment, but temporarily blocked it tactfully:

[Our company is truly honored to hear that from the squad leader.]

But I really don’t know about this matter, I have to go back and ask the HR boss…]

Min Siyi is also a girl with high emotional intelligence. She did not continue to pester him, but just sent a cute expression.

……

During the break, Xu Chen received a friend request on QQ.

[Jin Yuelan, president of the college student union...]

Xu Chen was stunned, wondering why the student union president wanted to see him?

Xu Chen naturally knew about this senior classmate Jin Yuelan. She had even given a speech at the college's "Freshman Orientation" last semester.

I remember that I was a junior majoring in "Radio and Television Directing".

Xu Chen accepted the friend request and politely greeted her with “Hello, senior sister”.

Jin Yuelan quickly replied:

[Hello, Junior Xu Chen! It’s like this…

Our college student union is about to hold an election.

The current student union team has first discussed the candidates.

We all want to invite you to run for the Student Union, mainly because you won several advertising awards last year and have a high reputation among college students.

If you run for the college student union position, you will definitely get a lot of support...】

Xu Chen frowned, wondering why such a "troublesome matter" would come to him on its own initiative?

He naturally didn't want to get involved.

My company is busy with the real money-making projects, so how can I have the time to deal with these childish "student unions"?

He was thinking about how to decline politely when Jin Yuelan replied:

[As for the position you want to run for, you can decide for yourself, Junior Brother Xu Chen.

My personal suggestion is that you can directly run for president of the Student Union or director of the academic department.

The current academic director Zhao Siting and I have both started off-campus internships this semester, and are also considering gradually withdrawing from student union work.

We feel that Xu Chen is capable of taking on the positions of Student Union President and Academic Department Director!
You have your own advertising company. Whether it is management ability, professional ability, or even industry resources, they are all very convincing, and you are also prestigious among students in the whole college...】

Xu Chen thought about it and replied directly without any beating around the bush:

[Thank you very much for the recognition from my senior and the Student Union.

I also really want to contribute more to the college, but I have too many things to do in the company, and I am afraid that I will not have the energy to support the work of the Student Union! 】

Jin Yuelan sent a few more messages, naturally still politely persuading Xu Chen.

Xu Chen laughed and used emoticons, and responded politely but did not give in. He still refused directly.

There is no need to hesitate about this matter, "Mr. Xu" is busy as hell.

As for the so-called "connections" and "resources" of the Student Union, Xu Chen really didn't care at all.

After a few more arguments, Xu Chen was still in the "politely declined" state.

Jin Yuelan seemed to still not give up, and sent the subsequent student union election process:
[Xu Chen, if you are still interested, you can contact me directly at any time! ]

[Okay, thank you, Senior…]

……

Noon, canteen.

Xu Chen and several roommates were having dinner together. Qian Xin, the "Little Prince of Jiangsu and Zhejiang", was playing with his iPhone and said with emotion:

"I finally became the second person in our class to use an iPhone after Boss Xu!"

Xu Chen was speechless and said:
"You are the third one."

Qian Xin: “Hmm?”

Xu Chen: "Su Rong is the second one."

Qian Xin: “Hmm…”

Pei Qian on the side said jokingly: "You are the second one among the boys."

Qian Xin smiled indifferently and happily browsed his phone again:
“This big touch screen is so cool for replying messages and browsing the web!
The texture of this body cannot be compared with those big, black and thick Symbian machines."

A face full of asking for a beating and showing off.

The others immediately stopped wanting to pay attention to him.

Huang Hao chewed a chicken leg and suddenly said:
"I found that we are the only ones who usually eat together. Chen Wenyi, Jiao Tianbo, and Huo Dashan are the three people you rarely see."

The people in front thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.

Pei Qian said casually: "Maybe the three of them are busy."

Huang Hao: "How can Boss Xu be so busy? I haven't seen them start a company yet."

Hong Xiaoqiang joked, "Jiao Tianbo looks down on those of us who are not ambitious and spend every day studying in the library.

Chen Wenyi probably thinks we are just ordinary people, and they play guitar and write songs every day, which is very elegant..."

He smiled again: "What is Huo Dashan busy with every day in your dormitory?"

Pei Qian: "He's been thinking about getting into the student union every day...

He was eliminated in two rounds of the school student union election.

Now I heard that the college student union is going to have a new term, so Huo Dashan goes there every day to build relationships.

I'm so busy..."

Xu Chen remained silent, but felt speechless in his heart.

If Huo Dashan knew that Xu Chen had received an invitation from the student union president himself, he would probably be so envious and jealous that he would doubt his life.

……

Qian Xin was browsing his phone and started talking about Xie Bingran's game at the end of the month.

And he also gave everyone some scientific information about how awesome this competition was and how many world-class hurdlers gathered there.

Pei Qian asked, "Why don't I see any discussion in the college group? Isn't Senior Bai Miao going to participate?"

As a fan of Bai Miao, Huang Hao said helplessly:

"Senior Bai Miao's track record is not good enough to participate in this competition."

"..."

Qian Xin: "There are only two people from China participating in the competition, the gold and silver medalists of the Asian Games, Xie Bingran and Chen Lan."

Pei Qian: "Is Mr. Qian going to fly to Ruishi to watch the game? Please bring us some chocolates!"

Qian Xin sighed:

“I don’t have money to book a flight or hotel!”

Pei Qian smiled wickedly and said jokingly, "Ah?! Boss Qian is still short of money?"

Qian Xin looked helpless: "I spent too much money last semester, so my dad has restricted my living expenses this year.

It is no longer possible to go abroad casually. "

He looked at Xu Chen again and said with an envious tone:
"I'm jealous that Boss Xu has his own company and can earn and spend his own money."

Xu Chen modestly tried to help the other party:

"But I'm also busy. I have almost no extracurricular life. I often work overtime at night and often sleep in the company."

Pei Qian: "We want to be busy but we can't be busy! If I could make as much money as Boss Xu, I would not sleep every day." "..."

……

……

After finishing class in the evening, Xu Chen called Su Rong to go on a business trip together.

I accompanied Su Rong back to the dormitory first, and the girl quickly brought down a packed suitcase.

Xu Chen took the box very gentlemanly and helped carry it. He looked down and found that Su Rong had changed into a pair of "Ranbing 001" shoes.

The little girl was a little bit cocky: "Does it look good?"

Xu Chen: "Of course it looks good!"

The two went downstairs of the company to pick up the car, and Gu Xinxin and Sun Amy were already waiting there.

Xu Chen started the engine and the three girls sat in the back seat.

Su Rong sat in the middle, looking excited and expectant about this business trip.

She looked left and right, and saw Gu Xinxin and Sun Amy on both sides were still working on their phones.

Tomorrow's report is scheduled for the afternoon, but I still flew there a day in advance. This way I will be more relaxed and I won't have to get up early tomorrow.

……

It was already around eight or nine in the evening when the group landed at Pengcheng Airport.

As soon as I got out of the cabin, I felt a warm and humid breath.

As it approaches the end of April, the weather in Shenzhen is much hotter than in Shanghai.

The four of them took off their coats, and some held them in their hands, or tied them around their waists.

During the day, he attends classes at school and eats in the cafeteria, and at night he arrives in South China on a business trip to work on a project. This sense of disconnection makes Xu Chen a little dazed.

……

This time it was not a "extravagant" client like Vanke, so there was no special business car to pick us up.

Several people hailed a taxi at the airport and drove towards Nanshan District in the city center.

The taxi turned around and got on the highway. Xu Chen saw the beautiful lights and night view of Pengcheng through the car window.

He recalled that when he brought Xie Bingran to Pengcheng last year, Brother Bingran was still impressed by the beautiful night view and strong urban feel of Pengcheng.

Thinking of Brother Bing, Xu Chen began to crave the coconut chicken he had once eaten with her.

Then he turned to the three girls in the back row and said:

“Go eat coconut chicken tonight!”

Foodie Su Rong was the first to shout excitedly, "Yes, yes!"

……

The headquarters of "Xizhilang" is in Nanshan District.

Initially this was not considered a prosperous area in Shenzhen, but with the rise of Tencent and the entire Internet industry, Nanshan District has become the area with the highest housing prices and the most prosperous.

The headquarters of "Xizhilang" is not conspicuous, located on the sixth to eighth floors of an ordinary office building.

In the evening, Xu Chen and his friends went to check out the location first, then checked into the hotel next door and went out to find food...

When he took a bite of the sweet coconut chicken, Xu Chen couldn't help but think of the little foodie Xie Bingran.

Last time I ate coconut chicken in a store near Vanke Center in Dapeng Bay, Xie Bingran obviously liked it very much, and her soft little mouth kept moving.

It seems that there is no decent coconut chicken restaurant in Shanghai, but it is easy to make. Just buy some coconuts and cook it at home.

At this moment, Su Rong was eating happily, with her cheeks puffed up, just like a little hamster.

While eating, Sun Amy and Gu Xinxin were working on their computers to modify the plan for tomorrow's report.

In fact, the plan was already very complete. When Xu Chen reviewed it during the day, he did not raise any further comments. However, the two girls still tried to make it perfect and wanted to make the PPT look better.

Xu Chen tried to stop him, but Sun Amy said pitifully:

"The plan was all yours, boss. We are already very sorry about it.

We should at least prepare the PPT for the report!"

Xu Chen couldn't help but think of the subordinates he had led in his previous life, and wondered how could they be so reliable?
Xu Chen felt extremely lucky to meet and get to know these "fellow travelers" after his rebirth.

Sun Aimei, Gu Xinxin, Nie Fei, Fang Jun, Guo Liang...

For all of these, we should be grateful.

……

The next day Xu Chen slept until almost noon.

He slowly got up from the bed, washed up, and made a cup of coffee in the room. Then he changed his clothes and went out.

As soon as I arrived at the restaurant, I saw three little girls who were also coming over for lunch.

Hearing them chattering, I realized that the three of them got up early in the morning and went out to look for local delicious food.

Xu Chen was speechless:

"Pengcheng is a city of immigrants. Where are the local delicacies?"

Su Rong looked helpless: "We don't know...

I went out for a few rounds and ended up eating some really bad rice noodle rolls. "

"..."

……

The headquarters of "Xizhilang" is not far from the hotel and can be reached on foot.

The 7th to 9th floors of a brand new office building in Yuehai Street.

Xu Chen remembered seeing reports about the "Xizhilang Building" in the news, but it probably had not been built yet.

A few minutes later, Xu Chen and his companions met the marketing manager Zheng Wan who came to greet them at the front desk on the 7th floor.

Zheng Wan is as graceful and friendly as her name and her tone of voice.

"Our CEO Lily is still in a meeting. I'll take CEO Xu and you guys on a tour first!"

Ms. Lily is referring to the marketing director Kuang Lili who had spoken to her on the phone earlier and is also the main person in charge of the "Ulemei" project.

The guests followed the host's wishes. Xu Chen and his party followed Zheng Wan to visit the huge office area on the 7th floor.

After turning the corner of the front desk, there is an area displaying the company culture and honors. Zheng Wan took the group to talk about it.

This is roughly the process of how Li Yongjun, the founder of "Xizhilang", worked hard to create the world's number one jelly brand.

In addition to jelly products, there is also a "Good Time" seaweed product line.

The current "Xizhilang" Group is mainly supported by these two core products.

There was no content related to "Ulemei" in the exhibition area, but Zheng Wan still mentioned it casually:
“The 'Ulemei' product line is the company's core strategy this year, and was personally planned by our Chairman Li Yongjun.

It is also the third product line that the group is committed to building in addition to the jelly and seaweed product lines.”

Xu Chen nodded and said with a smile:
"We have made a serious plan and hope it can help your company's product strategy."

Zheng Wan thought of something and said with a hint of apology:
“Originally, our chairman, Mr. Li, was supposed to attend today’s meeting, but it just so happened that Mr. Li’s daughter came over.

Mr. Li’s daughter is studying in high school in Hong Kong Island and rarely comes back, so Mr. Li has to accompany her in the afternoon..."

She paused for a moment:
“Let’s just have a meeting with Sister Lily first. Sister Lily will synchronize the plan with President Li.

As for Dongchen Advertising, it was actually Mr. Li who specifically invited us, so Mr. Li will definitely review the proposal carefully, so there is no need to worry about this."

"Ok, no problem."

Xu Chen still felt a little distressed. He couldn't communicate directly with the big boss about selling the manuscript, which was still lacking.

The main concern is that "Sister Lily" Kuang Lili may not have good eloquence and be able to perfectly convey Xu Chen's proposal.

Xu Chen thought about it again. Fortunately, the PPT was well written. Even if the "big boss" only looked at the text of the plan, there would not be any major problems.
