Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 429 Home?

Chapter 429 Home?
When asked about the future "big competition", Xie Bingran said:

“National Track and Field Championships, Asian Track and Field Championships.

Then there are the World Championships in Track and Field, the Olympics…”

Xu Chen: "This is the rhythm of the 'Grand Slam'!"

Xie Bingran: "'Grand Slam' means winning all the gold medals.

Domestic and Asian ones are OK...

I haven’t run in the World Championships or the Olympics yet.”

Xu Chen took a breath:
"Brother Bing is so domineering."

Xie Bingran: “Ah?”

Xu Chen: "You said 'I haven't won yet', but you didn't say 'I may not win'."

Xie Bingran frowned and thought for a while:

“It seems to be the same thing.”

Xu Chen smiled and said, “It’s not the same thing.

This is called a 'self-fulfilling prophecy' or the 'Pygmalion effect' in psychology...

It’s too complicated to explain, but anyway, Brother Bing has some very good and positive self-suggestions in his subconscious mind.

It helps your athletic career beyond imagination.”

Xie Bingran: "I don't understand, it's really mysterious."

Xu Chen looked somewhat happy. He calculated the time:

"I don't know about the World Championships, but it looks like the 08 Olympics should be the most important, right?"

Xie Bingran: “I think so.

After returning from Doha, I stayed in Beijing for a few days...

Coach Sun was called to a meeting at the General Administration of Sports, and the discussion was mostly about the 08 Olympics.

Xu Chen picked up the tea and touched Xie Bingran's cup:

"I wish Brother Bing a great performance in the 08 Olympics!"

He ignored Xie Bingran's reaction and drank the whole cup of tea generously.

……

It was still a bit chilly in the evening and the temperature had dropped significantly.

Fortunately, Xu Chen had anticipated this and the two long white down jackets that Xie Bingran bought in Shanghai were ready in the car.

At this moment, on the bank of "Laoyu River Wetland".

The two of them were wearing the same long down jackets and strolling along the trail beside the wetland.

Xie Bingran seemed curious about Xu Chen's "work" and asked a few questions.

Xu Chen had indeed never talked much with Xie Bingran about the company and work, so he took the opportunity to talk more about it.

The projects I am working on, the employees in the company, etc.

The afterglow of the setting sun gradually seeps into the vast Dianchi Lake, dyeing the water surface deep red.

The reason why Xu Chen brought Xie Bingran to the "Laoyu River Wetland" is because this is the best place to watch the sunset.

The two came to a railing and looked out at the plateau lake bathed in the sunset.

Xu Chen hugged Xie Bingran from behind.

She was very cooperative and leaned into Xu Chen's arms.

Xie Bingran recalled what Xu Chen had just chatted about and said:
"In less than a year, it seems like both of our lives have changed dramatically."

Xu Chen smelled the pleasant smell of the puppy and said with a smile:

"All the good changes in my life are thanks to Brother Bing's admiration!"

Xie Bingran: "Why?"

Xu Chen: "Several major projects in my advertising company, as well as 'Ranbing Sports', were all made possible by Brother Bing."

Xie Bingran thought about it seriously:

"It's because you forced me to go running that all this happened."

She turned around and stroked Xu Chen's cheek:

"So, it's all because of you...

All the good and happy things that have happened in my life are because of you."

When she said this, something crystal clear was flowing in her big eyes.

Xu Chen leaned closer and touched the puppy's nose with his own.

Xie Bingran hesitated for a moment, then came over and kissed Xu Chen on the lips:
"Xu Chen, I like you so much..."

"I know."

“I like you not because you are nice to me, take care of me, and bring me many good things.

I like you just because I like you.

It has been like this since the beginning..."

Xu Chen smiled:
"You're making it so complicated. I don't understand."

Xie Bingran showed a trace of inexplicable grievance, she pursed her lips and whispered:
“Even if you’re not nice to me, you ignore me…

I still like you, too."

Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, and his heart sank again.

He naturally thought of the years when he had ignored Xie Bingran.

He hugged her tighter and kissed the puppy hard on the face:

"I like you too."

Xie Bingran buried her head in Xu Chen's chest, wrapped her arms around him, and tightly grasped the corner of his clothes behind him.

……

We had dinner back at the hotel and ordered some local specialties.

Egg and whitebait, fried matsutake, mushroom soup, and golden ham.

I was still a little tired after a day of shopping, so I ate a lot.

After all, Brother Bing has the physique of an athlete. Even if he is not in heavy training, his basal metabolic rate is probably still very high, and he obviously has a good appetite.

Xu Chen felt very satisfied when he saw the little foodie's bulging cheeks.

……

I flipped through my phone while eating and found that Gu Xinxin had sent me another message.

The girl has become the company's "caring little housekeeper", and her project docking and management are meticulous and thoughtful.

As a boss, Xu Chen still feels a little guilty. After all, it is still the New Year's Day holiday.

What Gu Xinxin reported was that Chen Xinyi from Jiaduobao contacted him, who actually wanted to communicate about some subsequent design requirements of Kunlun Mountain and Wang Laoshun.

Xu Chen was a little surprised. Why did these trivial demands come to "Dongchen Advertising" again?

And they came to communicate during the New Year's Day holiday...

After asking, I found out that it was Jiaduobao who also saw the news about the "Great Wall Award".

The "Afraid of Getting Angry" advertisement won the Grand Prize of the Great Wall Awards, which is also a bonus to the brand image of "Wang Laoshun" and Jiaduobao Group.

After Nie Fei left, Vice President Gong Ming, who took over the marketing brand, remembered "Dongchen Advertising" again.

It just so happened that recently, Jiaduobao had some problems in matching its design needs with an advertising company in Yangcheng, and was considering changing the advertising design company.

Xu Chen was still a little speechless.

When Vice President Gong Ming took over the marketing work left by Nie Fei, he initially looked down on "Dongchen Advertising".

Even towards Xie Bingran's endorsement cooperation, they are very skeptical.

Xu Chen could clearly feel this during the first two conference call sessions.

And when filming the endorsement material for Kunlun Mountain, Gong Ming didn't even show up...

It was not until Xie Bingran won the Asian Games and his popularity and personal commercial value skyrocketed that Gong Ming realized the correctness of Nie Fei's decision and the professionalism of Dongchen Advertising.

I even made a special trip to Shanghai to visit...

However, Xu Chen originally didn't want to take on the subsequent design requirements of Jiaduobao and Kunlun Mountain.

They are all trivial pure design work, mainly without much technical content, it is just hard work.

I didn't expect that now that the other party heard about the "Great Wall Award", they actually came to me again...

Xu Chen thought about it for a while and replied to Gu Xinxin:

[Do you have a specific list of requirements? Send it to me first...]

[Chen Xinyi attached a copy in the email. Boss, please wait a moment. I will forward it to you right away! ]

I received the email soon.

Xu Chen flipped through it carefully and found that there was no major problem.

Contributing 200,000 to 300,000 yuan to the company every month can cover the team's human costs.

[Tang Xiaowei doesn't have a lot of things on his hands right now, right?] Xu Chen replied.

Gu Xinxin: [It’s OK. He is currently mainly following Amy’s lead.]

Xu Chen: [You can reply to Jiaduobao:

This long-term design demand can be accepted. According to industry management, a combination of piecework and monthly fees will be adopted. The higher of piecework and monthly fees will be used for settlement...

In addition, the quotation of "Dongchen Advertising" will definitely be 20%-30% higher than that of other companies.

If the other party has no problem, push back. 】

Gu Xinxin: [Okay, I’ll give you feedback first.

However, based on my conversation with Chen Xinyi on the phone today, Mr. Gong on their side really wants to give the order to Dongchen.

So raising the price should be no problem...】

Xu Chen: [As long as they are willing!

If there is no problem with the quotation, you can go back and discuss it with Amy and Xiaowei.

In the early stages, Amy still needs to work with Xiaowei to ensure the design is completed.

Once Xiaowei gets the hang of it, I can leave it entirely to him. 】

Gu Xinxin: [Okay, I understand! ]

Xu Chen flipped through the initial demand list again and roughly calculated that it could contribute a stable revenue of about 300,000 to 500,000 yuan per month.

Then this project alone is enough to cover the company's daily expenses.

Okay.

Be thrifty.

……

Xie Bingran had finished eating quickly and was now drinking a bowl of warm pear soup.

She was holding her phone and reading messages, and suddenly asked:
"Is your school holding a welcome party?"

Xu Chen was stunned:
"How come you know everything?"

Xie Bingran: "You're not going to attend the welcome party?"

Xu Chen: "I want to accompany you."

Xie Bingran: “Oh.”

Xu Chen looked puzzled: "You know that?"

As soon as he asked the question, he guessed the answer.

It must be Su Rong who told Brother Bing.

These two little sisters seem to be so sweet and can talk about anything...

Xie Bingran raised the phone screen.

Xu Chen took a look and saw that it was a selfie sent by Su Rong.

It turned out to be Su Rong's appearance as "Xiao Qiao" in tonight's show.

Xu Chen couldn't help but teased:

"It's intimate enough that they've even started taking private selfies."

Xie Bingran didn't care:
"Su Rong is very beautiful and cute. I like her very much."

Xu Chen: “…”

Xie Bingran: "You have a lot of good-looking girls!"

Xu Chen: “Ah?”

Xie Bingran handed over the phone screen again.

It was still a photo sent by Su Rong.

But this time it was a group photo.

In addition to "Xiao Qiao" Su Rong, there are also "Zhou Yu" Min Siyi, "Diao Chan" Chen Qiong, "Sun Shangxiang" You Li...

Xu Chen: "I'll show you everything. It's more intimate than I thought."

Xie Bingran narrowed his eyes:
"There are so many pretty girls in the class, so the class must be very fun, right?"

Xu Chen: “Never heard of it!”

Xie Bingran: "No wonder you asked me to apply to Huahai Normal University and deliberately didn't let me go to the same school as you?"

Xu Chen: "They're not even close..."

……

Early the next morning.

After Xu Chen and Xie Bingran had breakfast, they packed up their things, checked out and went downstairs.

I am going to drive straight to Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake today, and I am quite looking forward to it.

A drive of more than three or four hours is enough for Xu Chen to satisfy his driving addiction.

He is a person who loves driving, and there is a rich lady sitting in the passenger seat.

In order to see more scenery along the way, Xu Chen deliberately did not take the highway but took the national highway.

The speed will be slightly slower, but you may encounter scenery worth appreciating along the way.

Blue sky and white clouds make me feel happy.

Xu Chen connected the Bluetooth of his mobile phone and started a special performance of Xu Wei which was very suitable for Yunnan and Yunnan.

Memories of past and present lives overlap, with beautiful scenery and loved ones by my side...

Xu Chen inexplicably felt a mixture of sadness and joy, and he followed Xu Wei in the speakers and sang happily without caring about his image.

Perhaps Xie Bingran found it funny, and had never seen Xu Chen in such an "unruly" state, so she quietly raised her phone and took a lot of ugly photos of him.

……

Only green mountains are hidden among white clouds, and butterflies fly freely in the clear stream...

The jungle is full of the brightest flowers, scattered in the spring breeze...

Who drew this world, and drew you and me...

Clear and lofty.

Warm and innocent.

The vast sky and earth.

……

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon when we finally arrived in the urban area of Licheng.

The accommodation for the night was set in Shuanglang Ancient Town on the east bank of Erhai Lake, where the scenery was the best, with a panoramic view of Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain in the background...

But Xu Chen did not go to Shuanglang first, but drove to the "ancient city" in the city.

He parked the car and then spoke:
"We stayed in Shuanglang Town at night. The scenery there is the best, but it's in the countryside and there's nothing for sale.

Now I will eat in the city and buy some souvenirs to send back."

Xie Bingran: “Oh!”

Xu Chen: "Little foodie, you must be starving. I'll go feed you first!"

Lunch was not complicated. We found a local restaurant in the ancient city.

The food was almost the same, all different kinds of mushrooms and fresh fish from Erhai Lake.

Fortunately, they all tasted delicious and neither of them got tired of them.

……

After dinner, stroll around the ancient city.

Xie Bingran saw many shops selling coffee and asked in confusion:

“I’ve only heard of coffee from South America and other countries. How come Yunnan has so much coffee?”

Xu Chen: "In fact, the coffee in Yunnan and Yunnan is very good, and 'small-grain coffee' is its specialty.

The latitude and climate here are ideal for growing coffee. The coffee yield and quality are no worse than those in so-called South America and Hawaii.

It’s just that there is no large-scale, industrialized production, and there is no systematic promotion and distribution model, which leads to low overall awareness.”

As a person who was reborn, Xu Chen knew that after more than ten years, Yunnan's coffee had gradually grown to a larger scale.

For example, Starbucks has a purchasing line and product line for Yunnan Coffee, and there are also local brands such as Luckin Coffee that have risen entirely based on Yunnan Coffee.

Xie Bingran blinked her big eyes:
“You seem to know everything.

Whatever I ask you, you know..."

Xu Chen deliberately put on a smug look, his face full of pride.

"We purchase some specialty products such as flower cakes, small-grain coffee, and Pu'er tea and send them back.

Bring some to your teammates and coaches, too."

Xie Bingran: “Oh.”

Xu Chen: "Then let's buy some food..."

Xie Bingran: "Buying groceries?"

Xu Chen: "I booked a homestay by the Erhai Lake...

We can buy our own groceries and cook at home tonight and tomorrow!"

Xie Bingran was stunned.

But in my heart I silently said: "Home?"
