Chapter 229 Take a little action
Xie Bingran stuck out her tongue and licked her lips.
She felt that Xu Chen's eyes were a little weird, as if he wanted to eat her.
Xu Chen squinted his eyes, thinking about the little tongue that he just inadvertently stuck out...
You are so good at it...
I don’t know if Xie Bingran “doesn’t understand” or “too understanding”, so she dodged, took a grape from the fruit plate, and stuffed it into Xu Chen’s mouth.
"I'm going to change clothes!"
With that said, Xie Bingran stood up and picked up the backpack at the same time.
When changing clothes, it is natural to change into a national team uniform.
For the afternoon live event, wearing national team clothes will naturally help you maintain your appearance, which was also Xu Chen's deliberate arrangement.
Xu Chen chewed grapes and seemed unhappy.
"I want to follow and see!"
"..."
Xie Bingran's face showed a cold light:
"Be careful to break your legs!"
With that said, she already walked out with her bag in hand.
Xu Chen sat alone on the sofa, looked down at his legs, and thought that even if one was broken, it wouldn't affect his life, right?
……
Just when Xu Chen was feeling anxious and hesitant, the sound of pressing the combination lock suddenly came from outside.
He was confused, got up and went out.
Standing at the door of the reception room and looking out, he found that Teacher Fang Jun had come in carrying an office bag.
Fang Jun was stunned when he saw Xu Chen, then turned around and saw Brother Bing walking towards the rest room inside.
She suddenly narrowed her cold eyes with single eyelids and said coldly:
"What are you two doing secretly here?"
Xu Chen was speechless:
"How can there be secrecy? It's fair and aboveboard!"
……
……
Fang Jun was indeed here to be busy. The nursery stock company had two projects to pay for, so he took advantage of the opportunity at noon to come over and deal with it.
While turning on the computer, she asked:
"How to deal with Li Fengfeng's matter?"
Xu Chen: "Of course I'll stab him out."
Fang Jun thought for a while:
"Official infringement may not be achievable. It depends on the actual operation of the 'Aikla Cultural Communication' company."
Xu Chen nodded:
"He split the project into one thing and another to make money. Even if it does not constitute a job violation, he will definitely lose his job."
He smiled again:
"I also have to ensure that he can't survive in the advertising industry."
Fang Jun sat in front of the computer and started working:
"Then after you've finished dealing with it, tell me the situation. I'm also curious about the final result."
Xu Chen smiled and nodded.
Fang Jun: "Don't be late this afternoon. Sister Yue worked hard until two o'clock in the morning to finish the decoration. She went to work again early this morning."
Xu Chen: "Don't worry, you'll have time."
……
In the reception room, Xu Chen sat back in front of the computer.
After thinking about it, he chose not to have any direct negotiation with Li Fengfeng in the group, but instead formed a small group of three people.
In the group were Gu Xinxin and Renhe’s marketing director Zhao Nan.
Xu Chen originally considered communicating with Gu Xinxin first, and then letting Gu Xinxin decide which leader to report to.
But he hesitated and decided to directly recruit marketing director Zhao Nan.
One consideration is that Li Fengfeng made small moves in the project, and it is impossible to determine whether there are people within Renhe Pharmaceutical who took kickbacks for "convenience".
If there is, it is impossible to determine whether it is Gu Xinxin.
Although Gu Xinxin is Guo Liang's young apprentice, and Guo Liang has a high opinion of her character, after all, Xu Chen has not had much contact with her.
Zhao Nan is the No. 1 person in the marketing department of Renhe Pharmaceutical and is also the overall leader of this commercial project. Naturally, it is most appropriate to communicate with her.
And marketing director Zhao Nan will never "collude" with Li Fengfeng.
A middle-level leader of a large domestic pharmaceutical company will never block his career to pursue small interests with a small supplier...
Xu Chen formed a small group of three people and said in the group:
[@ Zhao Nan Zhao Mr. @ Gu Xinxin, there are indeed some problems with Heijue’s quotation:
When reviewing the quotation in Yangcheng, Dongchen took photos to keep the record.
I compared the photo I had left with the quotation just sent by Hei Jue. There were obvious discrepancies in the items.
Involving a cost of about 300,000 yuan...]
Xu Chen reorganized the photos left behind and the quotation details in the email and sent them to the small group.
Then he carefully marked the specific items of the discrepancy, the amount, etc.
Soon, the group received a reply from Gu Xinxin.
[Teacher Xu Chen, let me confirm:
The quotation that Heijue submitted to you for signature and review is inconsistent with the quotation in today's email. Does it mean that the other party made private modifications after your review?
But it was a scanned copy of the signed document, how would it be modified? 】
Xu Chen replied:
[Scans are just pictures and can be modified using software. If necessary, you can find a professional organization to identify it. In fact, it is not difficult to distinguish. 】
Gu Xinxin: [I took a look and found that the overall project amount has not changed and is within the budget quotation range of the contract. What is the significance of Heijue's modification? 】
Xu Chen: [Several items involving changes are all related to this third-party company of ‘Aikla Cultural Communication’.
I just found our finance teacher and checked through the industrial and commercial registration channel. The legal person of this company is called "Li Fufen".
The unconfirmed information I got inadvertently is that Mr. Li Fengfeng’s real name is Li Fufen. This still needs to be confirmed by Renhe. 】
The reason why Xu Chen took "a long time" to reply to this message was naturally to set aside some time for this "verification".
Otherwise, if you point out the detailed issues as soon as you receive the email, it will appear to be too deliberate, and it will make people doubt the true purpose.
……
At this point, everything that needs to be said has been said.
Even people who don't understand can still see Li Fengfeng's operation.
This was obviously going behind the backs of both Renhe and Heijue, and privately plugged their own registered third-party subcontracting companies into the project to gain benefits for themselves.
Any Party A unit that discovers this kind of thing will never ignore it.
Xu Chen waited for a few minutes, and Gu Xinxin's phone number came directly.
He took his mobile phone and walked to the door of the reception room and looked outside. He found that Xie Bingran had changed into a red and white national team uniform and was greeting Fang Jun.
Xu Chen gestured to the two of them holding up his mobile phone, meaning he wanted to make a call.
Then he closed the door and pressed the switch button.
"Teacher Xu Chen, I also have our Mr. Zhao Nan and Zhao here!"
Zhao Nan's voice also came from the other end of the phone:
"Hello, Teacher Xu Chen, I am with Gu Xinxin. The content you posted is relatively sensitive. We will call you directly to discuss it."
Xu Chen: "Hello, Mr. Zhao! Everything I discovered here has been posted to the group.
These are all factual situations, and the photos I provide here can be verified...
Of course, these photos and quotation details are no longer important. The legal person of Aikela Culture Communication is Li Fengfeng, which itself speaks volumes. Of course, this is just a verification by my finance teacher, and you still need to verify it...
If true, it is ultimately illegal to subcontract projects like this in the advertising industry.
I think Heijue Marketing will definitely prohibit employees from such private operations...
In addition, if we take a look at the more than 300,000 yuan involved in this 'Aikela', the specific expenditure details and output, things will soon become clear. ”
The person on the other end of the phone paused, then Marketing Director Zhao Nan said:
"Teacher Xu Chen, is there no problem with the material shooting related to the spokesperson?"
Xu Chen thought for a while and instantly understood what the other party meant.
For the brand Fang Renhe Pharmaceutical, what they are most worried about right now is whether the filming of the commercial will be affected, and whether it will interfere with the production and advertising in the future.
There may be another consideration: if Renhe identifies and investigates this matter now, will it affect subsequent work.
Xu Chen paused and said:
“There was no problem with the shooting of the commercial material. I confirmed every shot according to the script.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
At the same time, Aikela is actually involved in the production of the commercial film, and the follow-up is mainly part of the post-production...
Even if Li Fengfeng withdraws from the project now, it will not affect the production of this commercial.
After all, Heijue Marketing, as the producer, is obliged to arrange for additional teams and resources to complete the post-production work.
In addition, I have not yet had any feedback to Li Fengfeng and Hei Jue about the problems I discovered here. I just informed them of them as soon as possible.
This is also due to project safety considerations, and the final right of disposal lies with the brand..."
The words are relatively straightforward, but in fact it is equivalent to taking a step back verbally:
Disposing of Li Fengfeng now will not affect the project, but it is up to you to decide whether to dispose of it or not.
After all, Xu Chen couldn't act too aggressively in front of Party A.
Zhao Nan said:
“As Party A, we will definitely pursue this matter to the end!
I will report it to Mr. Lu later. With Mr. Lu’s temper, this matter cannot be suppressed at all, and he will probably scold Boss Heijue immediately.
Fortunately, we trust Heijue so much and hand over such an important project. I really didn’t expect that there was Shuo Shu in the project team..."
Xu Chenming had done everything he needed to do on his face, so it was inconvenient to say anything more.
His purpose from beginning to end was very simple, which was to get rid of Li Fengfeng.
In his previous life, Xu Chen worked under Li Fengfeng. As a social worker who had just entered the workplace, he had experienced "workplace bullying" firsthand.
What's more, there is also the matter of Li Fengfeng plagiarizing advertising works.
In his previous life, Xu Chen failed to find a chance to overthrow Li Fengfeng. When he was reborn, he shoved Li Fengfeng out of the advertising circle so that he would less harm to young people, which was considered a meritorious deed.
……
Zhao Nan paused and then said:
"On our side, we will immediately verify whether the company 'Aikla' belongs to Li Fengfeng.
Once confirmed, I will start the investigation after reporting to Mr. Lu.
Teacher Xu Chen, if we need to cooperate at that time, I may still have to work hard for you to help. ”
"No problem! I was entrusted by the Renhe brand to 'supervise and produce' this commercial, which is my job. If you need my cooperation, Mr. Zhao will tell you."
He paused and deliberately showed a hint of embarrassment:
"Of course, after all, we are still in the advertising circle, and I don't want to blatantly antagonize others..."
On the phone, Zhao Nan replied:
"Teacher Xu Chen, don't worry, we will try our best to remove you if possible!
Try not to cause any frontal or side conflicts between you and Li Fengfeng and Heijue. ”
Xu Chen: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your understanding!"
Considering this, it is natural to make yourself not too conspicuous.
Cutting off someone's money is like killing one's parents.
To operate this kind of thing, you can always be a "mastermind" and try to expose yourself as little as possible. In the end, you will avoid unnecessary troubles and risks.
Zhao Nan spoke again:
"Teacher Xu Chen, I still have to express my gratitude to you for this matter!
Without your careful review, we probably wouldn't have discovered Mr. Li's little trick in the project.
I feel ashamed to say it, but in fact our Party A is not professional in the details of advertising production and execution, and we will not really review the very trivial quotations one by one.
Maybe this is also the reason why some people dare to make small moves in private...
In short, I am very grateful to Mr. Xu Chen and Dongchen Advertising.
This time, our brand side has avoided unnecessary losses and also ensured the quality of the commercials..."
Zhao Nan said a lot of words of thanks, and it could be heard that she was not being polite.
Xu Chen thought for a moment and asked slightly casually:
"At Renhe, do we have any internal colleagues who are responsible for reviewing the quotations for this project?"
There was a pause on the other end of the phone.
Zhao Nan and Gu Xinxin instantly understood what Xu Chen said.
Yes, Li Fengfeng dared to do this blatantly. Is there anyone inside Renhe who took advantage of him to cooperate?
Zhao Nan paused for a while and then replied:
"There is a colleague in our team, Liu Huachun, who is responsible for quotation review...
Thank you to Mr. Xu Chen for reminding us. We will also investigate more risks internally. ”
Xu Chen recalled that Liu Huachun had met him during the last draft review in Shanghai. He was a young man who came to greet him with Gu Xinxin.
He did what he had to do and said no more.
……
After hanging up the phone, Xu Chen thought about it again.
There is almost no suspense about Li Fengfeng losing his job this time.
And not only will he lose his job at Heijue, Xu Chen will also confirm that he will not be able to find any job in the advertising industry in the future.
It's nothing more than letting the bullets fly for a while longer.
If it is best to implement "job violation", his career will be completely destroyed...
……
……
Xu Chen put away his computer, feeling a little proud.
As soon as he took action, he avenged his past life and purified the advertising industry circle!
After checking the time, it was almost time to go to the event.
He walked to the door of the reception room and looked up to see Xie Bingran sitting on the chair next to Fang Jun, as if in a bored daze.
Xu Chen pretended to be serious and said:
"Brother Bing, you have to come here, let's go over the speech draft later!"
Xie Bingran said "Oh", stood up and walked over.
When she walked into the reception room, Xu Chen closed the door and locked it.
Xie Bingran looked puzzled:
“I have read the speech, do you still need to revise it?”
Xu Chen grabbed her waist and held her in his arms:
"No need to change, I just found a reason to capture you...
Ravage it. ”
Xie Bingran threw herself into Xu Chen's arms, pursed her lips but showed a trace of grievance:
"The coach just sent me a message that he will take me away tonight."
As she said this, she hugged him tighter.
