Chapter 119 Is there any chance to dig a hole
Fang Jun held a cup of coffee and turned to look out the window.
The three people from "Mei Gao Creative" were standing outside chatting.
A few steps behind them, Xu Chen stood there flipping through his phone. He seemed to be waiting for someone, but in fact he was eavesdropping.
A few minutes later, the gentle-looking middle-aged leader of Meigao Creative put out his cigarette butt and left with his two subordinates.
Xu Chen turned around and walked back to the cafe.
"How is it?" Fang Jun asked.
Xu Chen smiled and said: "I want to thank Teacher Fang Jun again."
Fang Jun: "Why?"
Xu Chen: “I just heard them complaining that a ‘medical expert’ on the panel challenged the proposal in person.
The medical expert questioned their advertising copy, saying that it was inconsistent with the product's selling point and even violated medical common sense.
It seems that Meigao may have been eliminated from this competition..."
Fang Jun: "Sounds like a good thing. We have one less competitor."
Xu Chen was actually a little surprised by this.
Although Meigao is not a particularly large advertising company, it has had many medical product customers in the past, so it should not make such a low-level mistake.
Maybe he thought it was a sure thing and didn't take it seriously, or maybe the director leading the team this time was not from a medical background.
Although advertisers need to be able to work in various industries, there are still barriers to some industry categories.
Some advertisers will focus on specific industry categories, and occasionally "overturn" across industries.
Xu Chen glanced at Fang Jun and said with a smile:
"Fortunately, we have the all-powerful teacher Fang Jun who introduced me to professional medical experts."
Fang Jun thought for a while, then shook his head and said seriously:
"Actually, it has nothing to do with me.
It was you who first asked who was on the jury, and then anticipated the problems and took preventive measures in advance.
The three Meigao people are not like you who have done research in advance and found a way to deal with it.
And I just happen to appear here, and I can only provide you with a resource.
So... you are still better. ”
Xu Chen laughed and put away the computer on the table:
"Let's go, let's eat nearby."
……
There is "Yaxin Plaza" nearby, which is where white-collar workers working in this area have lunch. There are restaurants of various sizes.
It was only a few hundred meters away from here, so Xu Chen and Fang Jun walked there.
Xu Chen didn't care what to eat, so he gave Fang Jun the decision-making power.
As a sister with a "very good family background", Fang Jun is obviously still a bit picky.
She quickly walked around, picked a Huaiyang restaurant and walked in.
After sitting down, Fang Jun took the menu and glanced at it, casually ordering the restaurant's signature dish.
Crab meat lion head, squirrel fish, Pingqiao tofu...
Several dishes were served on the table. The portions were not large, but they looked exquisite and delicious.
Xu Chen couldn't help laughing and said:
“It’s quite a worldly experience to eat with Teacher Fang Jun!”
Fang Jun looked normal and said casually:
"The state banquet is basically Huaiyang cuisine, so this restaurant can make a living. I've had better ones in the capital..."
Xu Chen shook his head with a complicated expression:
"What kind of family does Teacher Fang have?"
Invisible pretense is the most deadly.
……
……
The afternoon pitch didn't start until three o'clock, and Dongchen Advertising didn't even start the proposal until five o'clock, so there was plenty of time at noon.
The two of them ate in no hurry, chewing slowly and enjoying themselves.
Xu Chen was eating a bowl of dessert and flipping through the news on his phone.
"National Youth Track and Field Championships" has been covered intensively in the past two days.
Especially the local media in Shanghai are promoting the track and field athletes who represent Shanghai.
There are also two women's 100-meter hurdles athletes, both freshmen from two universities in Shanghai. They will also be Brother Bing's competitors on the track. Obviously, various local media have promoted these two players as the "champion and runner-up".
Xu Chen found it a bit funny and looked forward to seeing Brother Bing crush them.
Xu Chen flipped through the pages but didn't find any news directly related to Xie Bingran.
But this is completely understandable, after all, Brother Bing has only participated in Tiancheng City Games so far.
And Tiancheng can only be regarded as an inconspicuous small county town.
The competition the day after tomorrow will be Xie Bingran’s first national competition.
……
At this moment, an angry male voice suddenly came from behind:
"Aren't you smart?! How many times have I told you not to add sugar to my coffee!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li... the clerk brought the wrong one, I'll buy you another drink..."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Fang Jun frowned, turned his head and looked around, and found that they were several guests at the next table.
The "Mr. Li" who got angry was a fat middle-aged man with a greasy face.
The young man who got the wrong coffee ran out with an embarrassed look on his face and went to buy coffee again.
There were two other young men at the table, obviously subordinates of "Mr. Li", and they looked very nervous.
Xu Chen did not look back, but the moment he heard the sound, he secretly thought in his heart:
"Unexpectedly, we really met enemies on a narrow road..."
The fat "Mr. Li" behind him, named Li Fengfeng, is the team director of Heijue Marketing who came to participate in the pitch.
In his previous life, Xu Chen had worked for Heijue Marketing for about a year, working under Director Li Fengfeng.
Li Fengfeng is a very typical "bad leader" with extremely poor character.
Just like his attitude towards his subordinates just now, many people said that he "takes pleasure in bullying and squeezing his juniors."
The more cowardly and obedient a subordinate is, the more fiercely he will scold him.
Xu Chen in his previous life was also stubborn and didn't like Li Fengfeng at all. Later, Mr. Li ignored Xu Chen.
But Xu Chen still wore a lot of small shoes, and more than half of his year-end bonus was deducted.
And Li Fengfeng's professional character is also very poor.
The advertising industry can also be regarded as a "creative industry".
Whenever a classic advertising work comes out, the circle will discuss whose work it is, who the creative director is, who the copywriter is, and who the designer is.
In the team, Li Fengfeng would deprive his subordinates of their right of signature, and all works would be signed by his own name.
He will even use the works of his team's subordinates to judge awards.
After winning an advertising award, both the reputation and the bonus will be privately owned.
In his previous life, Xu Chen resigned from Heijue in anger after two advertising works were "plagiarized" by Li Fengfeng.
Of course, in business, this Li Fengfeng is not without merit.
His business ability is quite good, he can deal with some customers, and occasionally he will come up with some good plans.
This is also the reason why he was promoted to director in the company despite having extremely poor character.
Of course, lack of character will eventually "reap the consequences."
In his previous life, four or five years after Xu Chen left Heijue, he heard about Li Fengfeng again in the circle.
At that time, he had been promoted to the director of the company group. He was reported to be "making money" in the project. After verification, he was fired by the company. His reputation in the advertising industry was completely ruined, and no company dared to accept him.
According to the timeline before his rebirth, Xu Chen would not encounter this "evil leader" until four or five years later.
Unexpectedly, after being reborn, we would meet him now.
Xu Chen drank tea and looked back.
Li Fengfeng was eating the food alone, but the two subordinates beside him didn't even dare to move their chopsticks.
The young boy next to him smiled in a pretentious manner and said:
"Mr. Li, when you win this project, you can be promoted from deputy director to formal director, right?"
Li Fengfeng snorted:
"I should have been promoted to director a long time ago, but Mr. Wu deliberately blocked me!
Let’s see what else he has to say when I win this pitch! ”
Xu Chen listened silently and couldn't help but sneered in his heart:
"That's too bad. It seems you have to wait a little longer for your promotion to director."
I don’t know if this encounter will give me a chance to dig a hole for Mr. Li, so that you can stop harming some young people...
