“Lin Feng, don’t say anything. I remember your help in my heart,” Su Rong interrupted Lin Feng, knowing he was trying to comfort her.
“Alright, the Prescription has been delivered. Now it’s up to you, Rong Jie. By the way, you’re still in touch with Liu Jing, right?” Lin Feng asked, seeing Su Rong’s determined expression. He realized that continuing on this topic wouldn’t yield any further insight, so he shifted to another question about Su Rong.
“Yes, I’m in touch with Liu Jing. Although we haven’t received your Prescription yet, we are already discussing how to launch our business strategy once we have it. We often study together,” Su Rong replied, her face lighting up at the mention of Liu Jing. It was clear she was happy to know Liu Jing.
Despite her young age, Liu Jing had many business ideas and decisions that left Su Rong speechless. Of course, Su Rong’s execution skills were also something Liu Jing admired. Together, they made the perfect team.
Su Rong knew that her connection with Liu Jing was largely thanks to the bright smile of the boy in front of her; otherwise, there would be no reason for Liu Jing to help her so much.
In short, all the good things were because of Lin Feng, which only made Su Rong more grateful to him.
“Great! If she can help you, that’s wonderful. Well then, Rong Jie, I have to go now; I still have work this afternoon. Keep in touch,” Lin Feng said after confirming everything was proceeding smoothly and feeling less worried as he prepared to leave.
“Are you leaving so soon?” Su Rong wanted to chat a bit longer but was surprised that Lin Feng was already getting up to go.
“Is there anything else, Rong Jie?” Lin Feng asked with a chuckle. Although it wasn’t quite time for him to start work yet, he didn’t want to stay and listen to more of Su Rong’s gratitude. Her thanks always made him feel a bit embarrassed.
It felt as if he was doing all this just for her gratitude, which made him uncomfortable. So he chose to leave instead of lingering.
“Oh, it’s nothing,” Su Rong replied, understanding that Lin Feng wasn’t seeking her gratitude. She nodded and swallowed the words she had almost spoken.
“Alright then, I’m off,” Lin Feng said, aware of why Su Rong felt this way—perhaps she felt indebted to him—but he couldn’t say much at that moment and simply left.
Su Rong saw Lin Feng off downstairs and watched as he hailed a taxi back to the company.
Su Rong's Secretary noticed that Su Rong had personally welcomed and seen Lin Feng off and began imagining various scenarios in her mind. However, before she could gather her thoughts, Su Rong returned and said to her, “Contact all the senior management for a meeting immediately. Make it quick; the meeting starts in half an hour.”
As she spoke, Su Rong regained her former demeanor as a company executive, the fierce style of a strong woman in the eyes of outsiders. That look in her eyes made the Secretary realize that the old Su General had returned.
"Alright, I'll notify Su General right away." At that moment, the Secretary was no longer concerned about guessing the relationship between Lin Feng and Su Rong. Seeing Su Rong's expression, she understood that there might be some new developments in the company, so she quickly became serious and began making a phone call.
"Mm." Nodding lightly, Su Rong retracted the sisterly smile she had shown Lin Feng and walked into her office.
She still needed to carefully examine Lin Feng's prescription and then have everyone start gathering the medicinal herbs.
This time, Su Rong was fighting with her back against the wall; she knew that she could only succeed and not fail.
Because she could no longer afford to lose.
When Lin Feng returned to the company, it was still before working hours. After settling down, Lin Feng noticed that Chen Li was still not in her office.
"Lin Feng, looking for Sister Li? The director just spoke with her; she just came out of his office and looked a bit off. I suspect the director scolded her again," Liu Yan said to Lin Feng as soon as she saw his actions, realizing he was probably looking for Chen Li.
"Oh?" This was the first time Lin Feng had heard about the director speaking with Chen Li, and judging by Liu Yan's tone, it seemed that this happened quite often. Was there something more to it? Lin Feng couldn't help but wonder.
However, at that moment, Lin Feng naturally couldn't ask about it. He knew that even if he did, no one would tell him anything. So he could only keep his questions to himself and resolve to find out more when he had the chance.
Not long after, Chen Li returned, and they all began their work.
"Alright everyone, stop what you're doing for a moment; we're having an impromptu meeting." Chen Li clapped her hands and stood in front of everyone as she spoke.
With that said, everyone naturally paused their work and listened attentively to what Chen Li had to say.
"Here are the materials from Rain Shield Corporation. I believe everyone is familiar with this company?" Before starting the meeting, Chen Li handed out a copy of the materials to each person.
"Well, I know a water washing company," Liu Yan said, seeming quite knowledgeable about it.
In fact, among those present, aside from the newcomer Lin Feng, everyone else had a strong impression of the "Rain Shield" company.
It wasn't because the company's washing services were particularly effective or because it was widely known; rather, it was due to the company's strict advertising requirements.
Yes, this company had approached Colorful Vision Company, where Lin Feng worked, for an advertisement a month ago. Initially, the ad was assigned to the first group of the company's Creative Team. They worked hard for half a month, but their creative proposal was thoroughly criticized by the "Rain Shield" company.
In the following half month, Colorful Vision Company took this matter seriously and assigned the ad to the second group of the Creative Team, which had always performed exceptionally well. However, it seemed they also failed to pass muster. In any case, this task now fell to Lin Feng's Creative Team Three.
After reviewing the materials, Liu Yan briefly informed Lin Feng about the situation. Lin Feng guessed that Chen Li had likely been called into Zhu Jie's office to discuss this matter.
Lin Feng understood that Chen Li was probably feeling somewhat pressured.
This was clearly a hot potato; if possible, Lin Feng believed Chen Li would not have accepted it.
Of course, Lin Feng also knew that refusing this task would be difficult.
"Everyone probably guessed it already. Yes, I just came from the Minister's office discussing this matter. The Minister made it very clear that we have to take on this task, so please don't complain. Let's focus on how to solve this issue," Chen Li said once she saw that everyone understood the situation.
"Team Leader, I just looked at the advertising plans from our Creative Groups One and Two. I think they were quite good, but they were completely torn apart by the client. Besides, we only have half a month left; isn't that a bit rushed?" Liu Yan asked from a professional standpoint after reviewing the materials.
"I know it's rushed. Having everyone complete this task in such a short time is indeed challenging. That's why I discussed it with the Minister for so long. In the end, he still insisted that our team must complete this task. Let's all brainstorm some solutions," Chen Li replied as she looked at Liu Yan. She knew Liu Yan was speaking the truth but felt quite helpless herself.
In fact, there were ways to handle it, but thinking about Zhu Jie’s smug face when facing her made Chen Li feel sick; she knew she couldn't agree to his despicable demands.
"Alright, just because others couldn't do it doesn't mean we can't. Sister Li is right; let's think of a solution," Lin Feng said. He didn't take this matter too seriously; he believed that constantly thinking about how to avoid problems wasn't a solution, so he spoke up like this.
If it were someone else, many people would likely have prejudices against Lin Feng's words, thinking, "Who do you think you are? A newcomer daring to say such things."
But it couldn't be helped. First, Chen Li and the creative team didn't adhere to such norms. Second, although Lin Feng was still considered a newcomer in this creative team, everyone had already stopped viewing him as one. Given Lin Feng's performance last night, everyone genuinely respected him.
It was precisely for this reason that Lin Feng had gained so much; he didn't have to do menial tasks like other newcomers to earn recognition. In fact, someone even bought him breakfast that morning.
This could perhaps only be explained by Lin Feng's "personal charm."
"Lin Feng is right. Xiao Yan, you should collaborate well with Lin Feng. Creativity can be quite unpredictable. Although you're more professional than Lin Feng, three heads are better than one. I think you two can communicate effectively," Chen Li said, giving Lin Feng credit. After Lin Feng finished speaking, he directly agreed with him and addressed Liu Yan.
Upon hearing Chen Li's words, Liu Yan nodded obediently and replied, "Okay, I understand."
This was indeed quite strange. Although Liu Yan had only arrived a month earlier than Lin Feng, she was a professional in advertising design while Lin Feng was not. The suggestion that an experienced advertising professional should collaborate closely with a newcomer from a non-advertising background placed them on the same level, yet the experienced professional had no objections. Wasn't that odd?
"Alright, we'll stick to the usual approach: Liu Yan will handle the design while Zhao Gang and I will try to connect with each other. Zhao Gang, we need to be mentally prepared; they have already rejected two of our company's advertising proposals," Chen Li began assigning tasks when he saw no objections from anyone.
"Got it. It mainly depends on whether Xiao Yan has any good ideas; otherwise, we're definitely in for some criticism," Zhao Gang nodded in agreement. Clearly, he had sensed this issue from the start and spoke to Liu Yan.
Ultimately, to satisfy them, a solid advertising proposal needed to be presented.
