Lin Feng's white-collar career progressed in an orderly manner. With ten years of experience and knowledge from his past life, Lin Feng often surprised Liu Yan while assisting her, providing guidance that he deemed necessary. Unbeknownst to her, Liu Yan had been led into an advertising design concept that she herself could not fully comprehend.
Of course, Lin Feng did not simply replicate all the advertisements from his previous life. He realized that Liu Yan was also a creative talent, at least when it came to advertising design. Therefore, after introducing some new design concepts to Liu Yan, he decided to let her work freely. With Lin Feng's more mature and innovative design ideas combined with Liu Yan's creativity, the results they produced were quite impressive.
Today was the day Lin Feng's team was to submit their design proposal.
On this day, Chen Li requested that Lin Feng dress formally, at least not too casually, and to maintain a serious demeanor.
Lin Feng had no objections to this. He returned to Dong Jie’s place and asked her to prepare a suitable outfit for his current identity, then wore it to work.
After completing their advertising proposal, Liu Yan had already shown it to Chen Li and the others. Their reaction was unanimous—novelty.
They had not been influenced by the advertising concepts of later generations, so upon first seeing the proposal, they found it hard to express their thoughts. Lin Feng understood that this was not due to a lack of trust in him but rather because some things take time to accept. They needed time to adjust to such innovative ideas.
However, there was no time left to create another advertising plan. Chen Li had no choice but to trust Lin Feng and Liu Yan because Liu Yan had said one thing: "If they don’t like this proposal, then I have nothing more to say." With that statement, Chen Li's team chose to go all in.
The proposal was ready, and as usual, Chen Li intended to show it to Zhu Jie under the pretext of having the Minister of the Advertising Department review it. However, Lin Feng was uncertain whether Zhu Jie would understand the concepts stemming from his future knowledge.
Yet, Lin Feng clearly overestimated Zhu Jie's thick skin; he didn’t even glance at it and simply instructed Chen Li to present the proposal, stating that if the client was satisfied, then he would be satisfied too.
Lin Feng wanted to ask if Zhu Jie would dare to be unsatisfied if the client was pleased.
What Lin Feng did not know was that Zhu Jie had faced multiple setbacks with Chen Li recently and was looking for ways to make things difficult for him. Zhu Jie did not want Chen Li’s team to meet the client's expectations because only then would he have more room for maneuvering and a chance to manipulate Chen Li into following his directives.
The Minister of a company was preoccupied with various thoughts every day. If Lin Feng found out, he would definitely choose to give this heartless person a good beating before leaving the company. What kind of broken company is this, expecting him to work for them?
However, Chen Li did not inform Lin Feng or the others in the team about any of this, so naturally, Lin Feng remained unaware.
After having breakfast, Lin Feng and Liu Yan, along with the others, met the legendary client.
Originally, it should have been Hu Man, whom Lin Feng had fought with at the bar that night, coming to meet them. However, since Hu Man had been "taken care of" by the Wolf King, he was still in the hospital recovering. Thus, it was other members from Rain Shield Company who met with Lin Feng and his team.
Everyone took their seats according to their roles and exchanged pleasantries before the other party began to request to see Lin Feng's design proposal.
This was normal; if the design proposal satisfied them, they could pop champagne when signing the contract and celebrate together. However, if they were not pleased with the proposal, there would be no further discussion—thank you very much; they would let someone else handle the advertising planning.
The person who had just exchanged pleasantries with the other party was Chen Li. As the team leader among Lin Feng's group, she was in charge. Now that the other party requested to see the design proposal, it was naturally Liu Yan who handed it over.
The reason for Liu Yan being the one to present the design proposal was simple: she was the one who designed it.
Receiving the advertising plan from Liu Yan, the other party examined it carefully. Everyone else wisely kept quiet, waiting for the final verdict.
At this moment, for Chen Li and her team, what the other party said next felt like a judgment.
Of course, Lin Feng, who took everything lightly and was full of confidence as a reborn individual, did not belong to those awaiting judgment.
The reason was even simpler: Lin Feng didn't care and did not believe that they had any right to judge him.
After looking at it for a full half hour, even Lin Feng admired how serious they were. Just two pages of paper took them a whole half hour to review; if one were to say they weren't serious about it, that would be hard to justify.
After a long while, the other party closed the advertising plan, but their face was filled with shock.
"May I ask who wrote this plan?" After some time, the other party cautiously asked this question that had been lingering in their mind.
The expression of the other party made Lin Feng's vanity swell significantly, and his fondness for this person increased sharply. He acknowledged that he had copied this plan from his past life, but as long as this world did not have this plan, he was sorry, he would be the original creator of it. Given Lin Feng's thick skin, he naturally did not mind this aspect.
Liu Yan could tell from the other party's expression that the plan had likely satisfied them. However, when she heard the question, she looked towards Lin Feng and did not directly say that she was the one who wrote the plan.
Liu Yan was not foolish; over time, she gradually realized that although Lin Feng only led her with a few words, it was precisely those words that gave her a brand new creative concept. Therefore, in Liu Yan's mind, rather than saying that Lin Feng inspired her with this new creative idea, it was more accurate to say that Lin Feng subtly guided her to accept this concept.
So by the time the plan was completed, Liu Yan had already guessed that Lin Feng probably had this idea long ago; he just didn't want to directly express it for some reason.
Thus, when asked who wrote the plan, Liu Yan hesitated. She knew that Lin Feng should be the main author of this plan.
Because the soul of a good plan lies in its concept, and Lin Feng was indeed the one who provided a brand new idea for it.
"This plan was mainly written by Miss Liu Yan; I am just an assistant." Although Lin Feng's acknowledgment made him feel secretly pleased, he naturally would not compete with Liu Yan over it. Moreover, Lin Feng had always been low-key. So after seeing Liu Yan's hesitant expression, he spoke up directly.
"Oh, Miss Liu Yan is truly a rare talent." The person also noticed the signature at the back of the proposal and, after Lin Feng's introduction, extended their hand towards Liu Yan in praise.
"You flatter me." Liu Yan did not expect Lin Feng to say this at that moment. But since the other party had already extended their hand, she could only respond lightly before shaking hands with them.
"I would like to ask how Miss Liu came up with the concept for this plan?" The other party was clearly very interested in the underlying concept of the proposal and thought for a moment before asking.
"This..." Liu Yan was suddenly at a loss for words. It had always been Lin Feng subtly leading her into this creative concept; if asked how this idea came about, she really didn't know how to explain it.
"Oh, the inspiration for our team's deputy leader, Miss Liu Yan, comes from two words—simplicity. Our deputy leader often tells me that advertising design should be simple, intuitive, and must not lose its artistic quality. I think it's this combination of three aspects that has shaped our proposal," Lin Feng explained, not expecting the other party to ask such a question. Seeing that Liu Yan was at a loss for words, he quickly took over the conversation.
"Oh..." The other party was clearly surprised that Lin Feng was the one answering the question, but his reasoning was quite sound. The surprise in their eyes flickered and soon returned to normal.
"Well, thank you. I am very satisfied with this proposal. I believe our partnership has been established, and we can sign the contract now." The other party was evidently someone with a certain level of authority at Rain Shield Company. Satisfied with the advertising proposal, they decisively stated their intention.
"Oh, that's wonderful! Zhao Ge, bring out the contract," Chen Li said excitedly at this moment. She knew that as long as the other party agreed, their team's efforts over the past few days would not be in vain, and it would be even more difficult for Zhu Jie to make things hard for her.
"Okay," Zhao Gang replied happily. At least their team had accomplished what others in the company could not. Not to mention, tonight he would finally be able to sleep peacefully with his wife.
Since the proposal met with approval, Zhao Gang presented the contract, which was reviewed by the other party's secretary without any objections, and then they signed it.
"Pleasant cooperation..." Chen Li smiled as she stood up and extended her hand to the other party.
"Yes, pleasant cooperation. I wonder if we could invite you to join us for a glass of champagne?" The other party also stood up and expressed appreciation for a team like Chen Li's that could come up with such an excellent proposal, naturally wanting to show their sincerity.
"It would be an honor..." Chen Li smiled charmingly and responded gracefully.
In the other party's office, Lin Feng and his team each had a glass of champagne before leaving. This official celebration felt too formal; Lin Feng and his team needed a celebration that belonged solely to them.
