Who wants to take the civil service exam after being reborn?

Chapter 637 "Nian Nu Jiao: Ascending Duojing Tower"

"I originally wanted to introduce you to some friends from CITIC."

After a moment, Song Zuomin shook his head and broke the silence.

"CITIC..."

Chen was not surprised.

Since the fate of private enterprise giants is inevitable, it might as well find a reliable "heavenly leader" to cooperate with.

Even within a conglomerate like CITIC, there's a mixed bag of people. I reckon the people my father-in-law wanted to introduce me to were from one of those two or three top-tier families.

Of course, Song Zuomin would never treat retroactive appeal as a political donation and give it away to someone for nothing.

Moreover, having worked at CITIC for so many years, he must know which companies are cunning, which are honest, which are good at betraying their partners, and which like to waver between right and wrong.

I just didn't expect that Chen Zhe and the Yi family would have gotten involved first.

"Maybe there will be another opportunity in the future."

Chen Zhe didn't completely rule out the possibility of anything. He mostly used Yi Baoyu because this princess didn't follow the rules very well.

However, one advantage of the Yi family is that the old man is about to pass away, and the second generation has not yet taken over. There is only Yi Boxiang who needs to be treated with caution.

Once Yi Sanshu achieved some success in the mobile phone and instant messaging industries, he could only grumble and complain about minor setbacks.

If you choose a "prosperous" family, your ultimate fate may not be in your own hands. The final outcome could be "treating someone to a feast, beheading them, and taking them in as dogs."

Of course, whatever the choice, the business leader's skill is crucial.

Not long after, the nanny called out from the dining room that it was time to eat. Chen said he had something to do after he finished eating, so he left first.

At home, Professor Lu asked her husband curiously, "What were you two talking about just now? One minute you were talking about the Yan family, the next you were talking about the Yi family."

Song Zuomin did not explain, but only sighed and said, "What did the Six Dynasties amount to? They only served to enrich their own families and schemes..."

Lu Man is a university professor, so she naturally knows that this is Chen Liang's "Nian Nu Jiao: Climbing Duojing Tower" from the Southern Song Dynasty.

I just don't know what her husband's intention is in bringing this up now, especially in such a sorrowful tone.

……

December 24th arrived in the blink of an eye.

Chen started showing up at the venue on the 23rd, and on the 24th he spent the whole day in Pazhou familiarizing himself with the area.

He didn't fully trust the princess, so he made two preparations.

If Yi Baoyu doesn't come, I'll do it myself. Anyway, I've already memorized the PPT materials.

If she comes, then let her continue to perform.

In fact, this press conference was of great significance to Youmi phones, but the scoundrel in front of Yu Xuan and Song Shiwei insisted on describing it as a very ordinary product promotion meeting, telling them not to interrupt their respective plans.

So, cos-sister went to Shanghai to prepare for the gallery's mixed exhibition.

Sweetie went to the capital to investigate Douban Technology.

And just in case, the scoundrel personally escorted them through the security checkpoint before he was finally at ease.

On the evening of the 24th, Chen made a special phone call to Yi Baoyu.

He planned to politely inquire, "Are you in Guangzhou, sir?"

Yi Baoyu said he was going to Meizhou for a few days, but I don't know where he is now.

However, Gege did not answer.

Director Chen did not continue the call.

Who knows if if they keep fighting, Gege might become rebellious and feel that Chen is teaching her how to do things.

However, around 11 p.m., while Chen was still making final checks at the clubhouse, he suddenly received a message from Yi Baoyu.

She said: I just got back to Guangzhou.

Chen was speechless. He was about to give up on his original plan when this happened.

However, Director Chen truly lived up to his reputation as a man who had held a temporary post; he remained remarkably calm and even enthusiastically flattered her: "There's a really authentic Chaoshan clay pot porridge place in Liwan. If you'd like some late-night snacks, I'll come pick you and Aunt Liu up."

"Need not!"

After a while, Yi Baoyu replied, "Let's save the celebration banquet for tomorrow night!"

"Holy crap... is this already the victory celebration?"

Chen Zhe didn't dare to say that tomorrow's press conference would definitely be a success, but Gege was quite confident, as if she could handle any problem, no matter how big.

In terms of beauty, Yi Baoyu was certainly not the most outstanding among the girls Chen Zhe knew.

But when it comes to blind self-confidence, Gege definitely takes the lead!
……

The press conference is scheduled for 2 PM, exactly the same time as Xiaomi's press conference back then.

Lei Jun's timing is a proven "auspicious time," so just copy it.

However, the level, scale, and number of attendees at Youmi's press conference far exceeded those of Xiaomi's. Chen Zhe even personally paid for and invited many media outlets from all over the country to attend.

Not only is food and lodging provided, but there are also red envelopes (cash gifts).

However, people can be quite perverse sometimes; the better you treat them, the more they feel inferior to you.

These despicable people interpret "friendliness" as "flattery," and "politeness" becomes cheap proof in the eyes of others.

In the morning, when Chen was testing the sound system in the venue, Zhang Guangfeng, who was in charge of logistics, came over and quietly reported:
"Mr. Chen, some media reporters who arrived earlier are staying in our star-rated standard rooms and enjoying our lavish buffet, but they're still clamoring to scrutinize our phones with a magnifying glass to see if they live up to the slogan 'Number One Domestic Product.'" Chen's eyes flickered slightly: "Let them observe. We humbly accept any constructive opinions based on facts. Youmi doesn't operate on a one-man show; we allow objective criticism to exist. Also, you should have confidence in our products; true gold fears no fire."

Zhang Guangfeng nodded admiringly.

This is the big boss I've followed all this way; he speaks so eloquently, even casually.

"One more thing."

Zhang Guangfeng added, "We might not have enough seats. Some people are selling tickets outside the venue at inflated prices."

"Oh no?"

Chen was somewhat surprised.

It's worth noting that for Xiaomi's first product launch event, they only rented a venue for 500 people. Although the number eventually reached around 800, it still wasn't a large number.

With the support of Xuexi.com, the launch event for Youmi received approximately 4000 invitations, but management generally felt that it would be good if 2000 people attended.

We've all been to college, and we all know how lazy college students can be.

They can even ditch their roommates, so what psychological burden could they possibly have if they ditch someone who's just selling cheap phones?
How could a situation of "tickets being issued at inflated prices" occur?
"because……"

Zhang Guangfeng scratched his head and said, "There was a comic convention at the venue next door. Many students attended the comic convention in the morning and came straight to our mobile phone launch event in the afternoon."

"Oh~"

Chen understood.

A single comic convention might not have this many people, and a single press conference might not have this many people either, but when they come together, they have a reason to come to Guangzhou.

"Guangfeng, let me tell you something."

Chen said with great experience, "These anime cosplayers are really rich. There's a saying that goes, 'A wall of otaku and fujoshi is worth an apartment in Shanghai.' Let them come if they want; we shouldn't put up any obstacles."

"I know."

Zhang Guangfeng immediately gave a thumbs up: "I didn't know you knew so much about anime and manga! You're so knowledgeable, there's nothing you don't know!"

Of course!

Chen thought to himself that back in the day, when we watched movies, we always chose the "anime section," and we were very familiar with series like "The Beautiful Mother" and "The Bride."

We chatted like this until around 1 p.m., when the venue for the mobile phone launch event opened and started taking tickets.

The scattered crowd outside seemed to receive a signal to return home, gradually converging on the entrance and soon forming a well-ordered long line, with students constantly running over, panting.

Yi Baoyu has not arrived yet.

But Chen wasn't in a hurry; he himself was the contingency plan.

Around 1:30, the red, black, and white Land Cruiser seemed to tear through the noisy scene and suddenly leaped into view.

Chen felt relieved. Gege was quite trustworthy. For that reason alone, he wouldn't be able to mess with her to death in the future.

"Miss Yi."

Chen, still feigning innocence, helped open the car door.

To be honest, Chen Zhe would probably just lower his rank to greet a department-level leader now, but he would personally open the door for a vice-ministerial level leader.

As Yi Baoyu stepped down, a white expanse instantly filled Chen's eyes.

Princess Gege wore a white haute couture suit from Saint Laurent, with a YSL metal brooch pinned to her chest, and Chanel high heels adorned with delicate "double C" studs.

But she was really too tall, probably around 1.75 meters tall without heels, and almost 1.8 meters tall with heels. Her thin lips couldn't hide her superiority, and her delicate eyebrows hid a nonchalant arrogance.

Just by standing there casually, she could tell that everything this person carried, used, and spoke about was of "extremely high quality."

"The management team for the retrospective project is over there. Would you like me to introduce you?"

Chen said politely.

"Need not!"

Yi Baoyu snorted and said arrogantly, "I'll leave after I finish speaking. Do I need to get to know them?"

After saying that, she ignored Chen Zhe and, accompanied by the female security guard, walked straight to the backstage area of ​​the venue.

She's as domineering as a female tomboy.

"Mr. Chen..."

Zhang Guangfeng, who had been following behind, asked in a complicated tone, "Is this the speaker for today?"

Chen nodded with a similarly complicated expression: "It's her."

Zhang Guangfeng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Chen knew what the office director wanted to ask.

"Stop guessing."

Chen patted Old Zhang on the shoulder and sighed, "They have good fortune, but of course ours isn't bad either. If we went back two hundred years, we'd have to kowtow to them first."

Zhang Guangfeng was taken aback.

Even Director Chen isn't very confident right now. If he were to give the presentation himself, he would naturally be able to easily control the situation.

With this princess who looks down on everyone like an ant taking the stage, I wonder what kind of buzz this press conference will generate.
