After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 172: Strengthening

Hu Xiaochen was very cold.

There is a feeling of being kept a thousand miles away.

As if someone owed her something.

"what's up?"

Hu Xiaochen glanced at him coldly.

Zhou Haoran said seriously, "Team Leader Hu, I have something I want to ask you."

"No time!"

Hu Xiaochen snorted.

Zhou Haoran thought to himself, if you keep pretending, I’ll find a stick to beat you.
In the office, other colleagues all looked at him with sympathy, and some were even making gestures, as if instructing the younger brother, hoping that he would not provoke Team Leader Hu, because this man was not to be messed with!
But the next moment, Hu Xiaochen said calmly: "Okay, there's nothing for you to do here. I'm going to have a cup of coffee later."

"Oh, okay, I won't bother you then."

Zhou Haoran sighed deeply.

After leaving the "Family Gossip" program team, I went directly to the Costa Café in the yard and waited patiently at the door.

Sure enough, after a while, Hu Xiaochen appeared.

Where is the cold look from before?

Those bright eyes were rolling around, looking a little anxious, as if looking for someone.

Zhou Haoran waved his hand.

Hu Xiaochen suddenly became happy, a bright smile bloomed on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were as bright as stars. She was wearing a beige long skirt today, and she ran over with her skirt lifted.

"Haoran, I know that we, the master and the disciple, have the best tacit understanding."

Hu Xiaochen sat opposite with a smile on his face, his features were picturesque, and his happiness was evident in his expression.

Zhou Haoran curled his lips and said, "Come on, I'm not your master!"

Hu Xiaochen was very confident and glanced at him proudly, "You can't run away!"

"Come on, let's go inside."

Zhou Haoran was very careful. There were people coming and going at the door, so if he wanted to maintain Sister Xiaochen's image as a cold beauty, it would be best to avoid the public's attention.

Hu Xiaochen happily followed him and said softly, "Haoran, you are so considerate."

"You're not attracted to me, are you?"

Zhou Haoran looked at her warily.

"Yes!" Hu Xiaochen is 25 years old this year, 7 years older than her, and she is not vague at all. "I just like you. What do you think? Go out with me?"

"Virgin?" Zhou Haoran looked reluctant, "A virgin's virginity?"

Hu Xiaochen looked slightly annoyed.

But considering that he is only 18 years old this year and a young man who has just entered society and has never met girls, it is not surprising.

On the contrary, I feel that his original appearance is more simple.

"Yes, I'm a virgin, all natural!" Hu Xiaochen's face flushed slightly, and she placed her hands on the table, leaning forward and looking at him with bright eyes. "Do you want to try it with me?"

Zhou Haoran said seriously: "Don't try."

Hu Xiaochen was unwilling to accept it, "Didn't you say you were lustful?"

Zhou Haoran said: "Yes, but I have to restrain myself. I can't just want to sleep with you because you are beautiful."

Hu Xiaochen chuckled, his eyes gleaming with annoyance. "Don't be so blunt, young as that. What's with all the talk about sleep? Has it come to that? Any other girl would have been scared away by you."

"I know." Zhou Haoran felt that being a younger brother really had its benefits. He could feel the care from the girl even when teasing her. "I don't treat you as an outsider."

Hu Xiaochen pursed his lips and smiled, "Well, we are not outsiders. We are siblings, and also master and apprentice."

"Wait!" Zhou Haoran frowned. "We're really siblings, but when did we become master and apprentice? I didn't agree to that."

"Zhou Haoran, I know everything about you!"

Hu Xiaochen was very angry.

Zhou Haoran was very surprised. "What do you know?"

Hu Xiaochen questioned, "You accepted a female disciple, right? Her name is Qiao Nuo?"

Zhou Haoran was surprised, "You know all this?"

Hu Xiaochen was very unhappy, crossing her arms across her chest, feeling as heavy-hearted as she was, full of resentment. "You can make any newcomer a master, but why can't I? Aren't you too partial?"

"I'm not partial..." Zhou Haoran seemed embarrassed, "That Qiao Nuo, I want her to help me with the work."

Hu Xiaochen said: "Working is just training her."

"Yeah." "I can help you with the work, too."

"Serving tea, warming the bed, washing feet, all that?"

Zhou Haoran made a joke.

Hu Xiaochen raised her fair little hand and said angrily, "I'm going to hit you! I just told you about your lustful nature, and now you can't hide it anymore?"

Zhou Haoran cleared his throat and said seriously, "Sister Xiaochen, I'm looking for your help this time."

"what's up?"

Hu Xiaochen tucked her hair behind her ears, revealing a kind of charm that a young girl didn't have, and she was quite feminine.

Zhou Haoran said, "Just like before, help me shoot a commercial."

This is similar to Hu Xiaochen's guess.

Asking her for help is probably something like this.

"Go find the advertising department!"

"They are not as good as you."

"Then..." Hu Xiaochen dragged out the words and gave him a wink. "What's the benefit of me helping you?"

Zhou Haoran said, "As long as this commercial is well-made and receives good market feedback, I will accept you as my apprentice, okay?"

"This is what you said!"

Hu Xiaochen perked up.

Zhou Haoran assured: "A real man should keep his word!"

"Then it's settled!" Hu Xiaochen's eyes were provocative and contained a hint of warning. "Don't forget, Qiao Suiqing is my colleague. If you dare to go back on your word, I'll go complain to her!"

Zhou Haoran said righteously: "What's there to regret? I love the country more than the beauty. I can lie to anyone but not to the beauty!"

"You really are..."

Hu Xiaochen felt that he really had a bit of a playboy vibe.

Zhou Haoran made an agreement with her and got down to business. "Sister Xiaochen, this advertisement is a bit difficult. We are going to make an advertisement about water heaters."

"Water heater..." Hu Xiaochen was completely clueless. "Is advertising a water heater difficult? It should be easier than advertising a book, right?"

Zhou Haoran said: "It seems so on the surface, but it's not true."

"How to say?"

"Water heaters are indeed more suitable for advertising than books. But the Children's Encyclopedia we made before was different. We found the best entry point and focused on the advertising market. More importantly, it was a conversion ad, not a brand ad."

"is it?"

Hu Xiaochen pondered silently, analyzing the meaning of his words.

I think he is really talented.

You won't suffer any loss by having him as your teacher.

Zhou Haoran said: "The essence of advertising is to build awareness in the minds of consumers."

Hu Xiaochen understood and nodded, saying, "It's like 'Dabao, see you every day.' I didn't even know this product existed before, but this ad made me aware of it, and I've started using Dabao every day."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Yes, that's the truth. What should I do if I want to launch a product similar to Dabao and compete with Dabao?"

“It’s very difficult!”

Hu Xiaochen immediately realized the complexity of advertising, which really helped him face business realities better than the rules and regulations he learned in college textbooks.

Zhou Haoran said, "It's difficult, but the logic is simple. We need to remove the 'Dabao' product from the user's mindset and then fill the space previously occupied by Dabao with our own product. In short, we need to reshape consumer perception."

"This..." Hu Xiaochen was sweating a little. This had put a lot of pressure on her thinking, and she was having a hard time keeping up. "The logic is simple, but it's too difficult to implement, right? Take me for example. I'm already used to Dabao, and now they've launched a new product. Asking me to give up Dabao... That's too hard!"

Zhou Haoran said, "This is why the previous advertisement for the Children's Encyclopedia was so easy."

Hu Xiaochen immediately caught on to his train of thought and suddenly understood. "Because before this, users had no knowledge of similar products like encyclopedias. Once the ad is launched, it can directly seize the vacant space in consumers' knowledge."

"Yes, that's right. Seizing a vacant market is the easiest business."

Zhou Haoran felt that this Xiaochen was really smart and understood everything immediately.

"So that's how it is!" Hu Xiaochen's eyes were full of admiration, "Haoran, you are so outstanding, you are a genius!"

Zhou Haoran snorted and glanced at her, "Then let me test you."

"Ok!"

Hu Xiaochen was a little nervous.

Zhou Haoran asked, "As you know, I now have a female apprentice named Qiao Nuo, who just graduated from college. Why would I take her with me but not you?"
