Chapter 109 Business Magazine
Li Chu stayed in Wei Chen’s office during his two-hour lunch break. During these two hours, the door of Wei Chen’s office was not closed. Li Chu was a little cautious at first. When he met Wei Chen After the conversation with Chen, Li Chu's petty thoughts disappeared, and the rest was spent listening carefully and asking questions.
Although Wei Chen was not an HR person, many of her viewpoints on personnel management were novel and useful to Li Chu. She finally even turned on her phone and started recording, feeling that it would be a pity if she forgot to talk about this conversation.
The employees outside the office originally wanted to listen to gossip, but after listening, they stopped going to sleep and picked up their notebooks to write down Wei Chen's words, regardless of whether Wei Chen's words were useful to their majors. After all, it will benefit from it in the future.
When the lunch break was about to end, Li Chucai left. At this time, she had given up the idea of pursuing Wei Chen. She knew her character and she liked everything to be under her control. But after today's contact with Wei Chen , Li Chu discovered that she could not control a man like Wei Chen.
Li Chu has always been a rational person. Although Wei Chen seems to be so excellent, this kind of excellence is beyond the scope of her control. Instead of letting others take the lead in her marriage, it is better to take control of her married life. In his hands, Wei Chen was obviously not someone he could hold in his hands.
Pity. Li Chu sighed in his heart.
However, although Li Chu gave up pursuing Wei Chen and could not become a couple, Li Chu felt that it was good to make a friend like Wei Chen, and Wei Chen was good enough.
Thinking like this, Li Chu picked up his cell phone and made a call.
Soon, the phone was picked up, and Li Chu said with a smile: "I heard that your magazine is currently short of a cover character. I can recommend one to you." The
person who answered the phone was the editor-in-chief of a well-known domestic business magazine. The deadline for the next issue of the magazine is approaching, but they lack an interviewer who is qualified to be on the cover. So when he heard that Li Chu was a candidate, the editor was a little excited. After all, Li Chu was a senior HR person and knew him personally. There are quite a few people.
"Who does Manager Li want to recommend?" Although he was a little excited, his words were completely inaudible and even sounded plain.
"Wei Chen, director of marketing department of Changfeng Group." Li Chu said with a raised lip.
"Wei Chen?" After the editor heard the name, he tried his best to search for the impression of the name in his mind. It was not very clear, but he had a slight impression that he was a top student of Q University.
"Manager Li, you should know the nature of our magazine. Although Wei Chen is the director of the marketing department of Changfeng Group, as far as I know, he has only been in office for a few months. It is still okay to publish an exclusive interview in the magazine. But being on the cover is a bit unqualified, right?" The editor-in-chief was also a little rude. After all, it was his own magazine, and he didn't let Li Chu act so randomly.
Li Chu was not angry, and still smiled and said: "Editor-in-chief, do you know how old Wei Chen is this year?" "
About thirty?" The editor-in-chief said, for the position of director of Changfeng Group, you can't be in your early twenties.
"Editor-in-chief, you are wrong." Li Chu said somewhat mysteriously: "He is only twenty-four years old this year. He is in his prime." "
Twenty-four? Impossible!" The editor-in-chief was a little unbelievable, "Ordinary Aren’t people just graduating from college?”
“If the editor-in-chief doesn’t believe me, you can ask the bosses who have been on the cover of your magazine in the past about the automobile industry, or maybe other industries, and ask them what they think of Wei Chen. , The imperial capital is so big, Wei Chen's reputation is probably not limited to the automobile industry." These are Li Chu's guesses, but these guesses are well-founded. Wei Chen can achieve a thirty-point increase in performance. I often have contact with these big bosses.
When Li Chu said this, the editor-in-chief of the magazine was actually a little moved. After he ended the call with Li Chu, he called a few bosses he could chat with and asked his subordinates to check Wei Chen's information.
What surprised the editor-in-chief was that half of the business leaders he contacted knew Wei Chen, especially those in the automobile industry. They were full of praise for Wei Chen and asked him if he wanted to do an exclusive interview with Wei Chen. , the boss said on the spot that if there was an exclusive interview with Wei Chen, he would definitely support this issue of the magazine.
After finishing the phone calls with several big bosses, the people below also sent Wei Chen's information. Regardless of his academic qualifications, he had a brilliant record a year after graduation. He didn't know what would happen after joining Changfeng, but To be able to sit in the position of deputy director of Changfeng at this age is definitely extraordinary!
Finally, the editor-in-chief paid attention to Wei Chen's appearance and immediately decided that Wei Chen would be the cover character of this issue of the magazine!
Who is he if he is not handsome and talented?
"You immediately go to Changfeng Group to contact Director Wei and ask him if he is free in the next few days. Can you accept our visit? Also ask him to spare his time to take a cover photo for our magazine." The editor said. , a problem in my mind was solved, and the whole person felt much more relaxed.
"Okay." The subordinate responded and immediately went to Changfeng Group.
When there was only one person left in the office, the editor-in-chief tapped his fingers on the table, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly uncontrollably. He had a premonition that this issue of the magazine would definitely explode!
The text message on the phone rang, pulling the editor back from his thoughts. It was from Li Chu. The text message was just three words, "How is it?" The editor did not answer directly,
only replied: "Are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner."
Li Chu When she saw this text message, she knew what the editor-in-chief meant. She raised the corner of her mouth slightly and put the phone back. From the moment she told the editor-in-chief Wei Chen, she was sure that Wei Chen would be favored by this magazine. That’s why I believe it.
At noon, the heavy snow stopped, and the sanitation workers worked hard to clear a road. The sun appeared, the sun shone down, the white snow radiated sunshine, and the whole world became bright.
Wei Chen had just finished processing a document when an internal call came in. It was from the front desk, saying that a reporter from Business Magazine wanted to see him.
Although Wei Chen didn't know why the reporter from Business Magazine wanted to see him, he still let the reporter come up.
Business Magazine is the largest business magazine in China. It is a magazine under the People's Daily and a state-owned enterprise. Of course, compared with the People's Daily, Business Magazine is much less well-known, but in the business circle, it is much more powerful than the People's Daily.
People who can be listed in business magazines are all bosses of multinational companies. Some people even say that whether they can be listed in business magazines is the criterion for measuring the success of a person's career.
Although it is a bit exaggerated to say this, it illustrates the status of business magazines in Chinese business to a certain extent.
So when Wei Chen heard that a reporter from Business Magazine wanted to interview him, he was still a little surprised and confused. After all, according to Wei Chen's own ideas, Business Magazine was not within his reach.
At this moment when Wei Chen was confused, the reporter from Business Magazine was led to the door of the office by his assistant. A knock on the door woke Wei Chen up.
Wei Chen pinched the bridge of his nose to make himself more energetic, and then said: "Come in."
The doorknob turned, and the assistant led the reporters from Business Magazine in.
Wei Chen stood up to greet him, "Hello, I'm Wei Chen." He was neither humble nor overbearing.
"Hello, hello, I'm Jack from Business Magazine. Director Wei, just call me Ajie." Jack said.
After introducing himself, Jack immediately explained the purpose of his visit, "Director Wei, our magazine is going to do an exclusive interview for you. I wonder when you will be free?" Wei Chen was not surprised. He learned about Business Magazine from the front desk
. When reporters came to find him, Wei Chen had already guessed their purpose.
Knowing that Business Magazine wanted to do an exclusive interview for him, Wei Chen did not agree immediately. Because of his appearance in the magazine, Wei Chen hoped that he would work quietly and quietly.
Jack saw Wei Chen's embarrassment and smiled and handed over his business card. "Director Wei, don't be embarrassed. Call me after you think about it carefully. I will definitely cooperate with your time." "
Thank you." Wei Chen put his hands up. He took the business card and said.
"Director Wei, please do your work first. I won't disturb you anymore. I'm waiting for your call at any time." Jack said and exited the office.
Wei Chen asked his assistant to see Jack off. He looked at the business card in his hand blankly for a while, then put the business card in his suit pocket.
This incident was just an episode for Wei Chen, and Wei Chen didn't take it to heart.
When it was almost time to get off work, Sheng Jiaqi wandered into Wei Chen's marketing department.
Everyone in the marketing department stood up a little flattered when they saw the big boss coming down in person, and shouted "Hello, Chairman" in unison.
Sheng Jiaqi said with a smile: "You are busy with your work. Go home when you get off work. Don't pay attention to me." Then he walked into Wei Chen's office with a smile.
Sheng Jiaqi knocked on the door, and after getting a response from inside, he opened the door and went in.
When Wei Chen saw the Sheng family rising, he sat up from his seat and went over to greet them.
"I heard that a reporter from Business Magazine is looking for you?" Sheng Jiaqi sat down on the sofa and said straight to the point.
Wei Chen nodded, "Yes."
"Did you agree?" the Sheng family asked.
Wei Chen: "Not yet."
Sheng Jiaqi: "Why don't you agree? You don't know the power of business magazines."
Wei Chen said truthfully: "I don't really like to appear in public."
Sheng Jiaqi said with a smile: " This is not a question of likes or dislikes. I am amazed by the connections in business magazines. Since they take the initiative to find you, you must seize this opportunity. Since you want to move to the next level, your network of connections will It's impossible not to expand."
Wei Chen naturally understood this, but he didn't really like being a public figure. Sheng Jiaqi knew what Wei Chen was thinking and said, "Actually, you don't have to think so complicatedly. You regard Business Magazine as It's just a stage to show yourself. I'm not worried about you being poached by other companies after being published in the magazine. What are you worried about?"
Wei Chen said: "The chairman is joking." Even so, Wei Chen's heart The decision has been made. Let's do an exclusive interview. Fangzheng is not a shady person. "Also, I didn't ask you to bring your little boyfriend to my house for a party. Why don't you bring him over?" The Sheng family moved. The topic moved so fast that Wei Chen couldn't take it anymore.
Chapter 110 I Can't Laugh
"What, you don't plan to go to my house? Or don't you plan to let me get to know your little boyfriend?" Wei Chen didn't answer for Shengjia's sake and asked with a smile.
Wei Chen immediately said: "Li Li is preparing for the Dream Cup now. When the Dream Cup is over, I will take him there."
Sheng Jiaqi said slightly surprised: "Dream Cup? This is no small matter, then you have to let him go. Your little boyfriend is well prepared, and I will drink his celebration wine when the time comes."
Although Sheng Jiaqi is not a person in the art world, he likes to collect some art works, whether they are works by famous artists or not. He looked at If you like it and you like it, you will spend a lot of money to buy it. A few days ago, I spent several million to buy a painting from a gallery. However, my collector friends said that this painting was not made by a famous artist. Although the painting is good, it is not made by a famous artist. There is no collection value if you buy it back. But Sheng Jiaqi didn't think so. He just felt that this painting caught his eye. It was several times more beautiful than paintings by other famous artists. Looking at the painting, he could feel the emotions in the painting rushing towards him. , almost at first glance, he fell in love with this painting. He felt that if it has collection value, it must have collection value.
The Dream Cup is also an art competition that he pays attention to. Every time there is a painting exhibition in the finals, he will pick out a few paintings that he likes and take them home. It doesn’t matter what the ranking is, as long as he likes them.
The Dream Cup is about to start, and he is looking forward to finding his favorite works.
"I'm leaving first. If I don't leave now, none of the employees here will want to get off work." The Sheng family stood up and patted Wei Chen on the shoulder before leaving.
After Sheng Jiaqi left, Wei Chen called Jack from Business Magazine. After finalizing the time for the interview, Wei Chen returned to his seat, sorted out the documents, and left the office.
Today is the deadline for the Dream Cup. Chen Li rested his painting and asked Zhuge Yu to send it to the competition in this division.
As soon as Zhuge Yu left, Wei Chen came to take Chen Li home. When Chen Li saw Wei Chen, he immediately walked to Wei Chen and looked at Wei Chen intently, as if asking for praise.
"My Li Li is so powerful, he will definitely achieve good results!" Wei Chen took Chen Li's hand and said softly.
"Well, I'm very powerful." Chen Li praised himself without being ashamed at all.
"I know." Wei Chen agreed. As a reward, Wei Chen lowered his head and took a big sip on Chen Li's mouth.
Chen Li felt it was not enough, so he stood up on tiptoes and kissed Wei Chen's lips. Wei Chen turned passive and took the initiative, deepening the kiss.
The kiss ended and the two went home holding hands.
Lu Xiuran walked out of the studio and looked at the backs of the two holding hands with a sneer on his lips. Happy? You will be happy next!
Wei Chen did not take Chen Li home, but took Chen Li to a restaurant. Today was the day Chen Li participated in the competition. Of course, such an important day must be celebrated.
This is a Chinese restaurant. Wei Chen found that Chen Li had no interest in Western food, so he tried to find out about the delicious Chinese restaurants in the imperial capital. One by one, he brought Chen Li over to eat. The taste of this restaurant was indeed what it said on the Internet. , very good. When Chen Li finished eating, his belly was already full.
Wei Chen stretched out his hand to wipe Chen Li's belly and asked jokingly: "Is your belly so big? Is it cooked?"
Chen Li quickly shook his head, "Not yet?"
He was obviously an adult, but The two of them didn't feel any burden at all for making such a childish joke.
But at this time, Wei Chen never imagined that the joke he made today would actually have sight. One day in the future, when Chen Li's belly is bigger and more mature, Wei Chen's whole body will be Foolish.
Back to business.
When the two of them came out of the restaurant after eating, they discovered that although it was snowing today, the number of pedestrians on the road did not decrease because of this. Instead, it was very lively, and there were many couples at first glance.
Only then did Wei Chen pay attention to his surroundings. Almost every store had Christmas elements, so Wei Chen realized that today was Christmas Eve.
"Li Li, today is Christmas Eve." Wei Chen held Chen Li's hand and said.
"Christmas Eve?" Chen Li had no idea about this. He just felt that everything around him was very lively.
"It's the third Valentine's Day." Wei Chen didn't explain it deeply to Chen Li, and even gave a random explanation, but it was surprisingly appropriate.
Christmas Eve is not the third Valentine’s Day in China besides Valentine’s Day and Chinese Valentine’s Day.
Chen Li didn't know why it was the third one, but when he heard the word "lover", Chen Li's eyes lit up. Isn't Valentine's Day a holiday for him and Achen?
Looking at Chen Li's expression, Wei Chen knew what Chen Li was thinking without even thinking about it. He stopped Chen Li in his arms and said, "Yes. Today is our festival!"
That night, the two of them followed suit. They looked like other couples, doing what other couples would do, occasionally exchanging a passionate kiss, and the colorful lights and Christmas trees in the streets and alleys became their best decorations.
This night was full of excitement, and it was already after midnight by the time the two of them got home.
After the two returned home, they took a shower and then slept in each other's arms.
Chen Li went to bed first. Wei Chen took Chen Li into his arms, pressed a gentle kiss on Chen Li's forehead, and then hugged Chen Li tightly and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Wei Chen prepared a fruit and a Christmas gift for Chen Li.
It's just that Wei Chen got up early and went out to buy the Christmas gift. Wei Chen bought the Christmas gift yesterday when Chen Li wasn't paying attention.
Chen Li sat on the table and gnawed a fruit during breakfast. His mouth bulged very cutely. Wei Chen sat next to Chen Li, watching Chen Li gnaw a fruit. Then he silently took Chen Li's other hand and held it. The Christmas gift bought yesterday was put on Chen Li's ring finger. "Li Li, Merry Christmas." Wei Chen said, raised Chen Li's hand and placed a gentle kiss on his ring finger.
There is an extra ring on Chen Li's ring finger. It is the simplest style, without elaborate design, and it looks like just a circle of platinum.
"I'm sorry, I just remembered yesterday that we don't have wedding rings yet, so I bought a pair at the mall yesterday and took them with me. I'll have someone design a new pair of rings in a few days. I want it. Lock you firmly." Wei Chen looked deeply into Chen Li's eyes and said: "So, Li Li, are you willing to bring this ring to my hand?"
Chen Li then noticed something on the table. A ring, and Wei Chen stretched out his hand towards himself. Chen Li put the ring on Wei Chen's ring finger without hesitation, followed Wei Chen's example and placed a kiss on Wei Chen's ring finger, and then said: "I've put the ring on you too." "
Well, you You've trapped me." After Wei Chen finished speaking, he stood up and took Chen Li into his arms, his brows and eyes filled with smiles.
In the future, whenever Chen Li recalled today's scene, he would feel sweet but also a little angry. It was only because he was too naive back then that this person was so easily trapped by Wei Chen.
Of course, this is a later story.
The two of them had been cozying up in the restaurant for a while, and time was urging them to go to work and school.
Wei Chen made an appointment with Business Magazine for an exclusive interview today, so naturally he couldn't be late.
After sending Chen Li to Q University, Wei Chen went directly to the company. Not long after he arrived at the company, reporters from Business Magazine arrived.
Wei Chen was interviewed on the sofa in his office. Business Magazine is indeed the largest magazine in China. The questions he asked were all very professional and well-qualified. Moreover, he did not review the manuscript in advance. People really can't stand the sway of business magazines.
Fortunately, Wei Chen is solid and very dense. No matter how tricky and professional questions Jack asks, Wei Chen's answers are meticulous and perfect, which makes Jack have a very good impression of Wei Chen.
This was an exclusive interview that both guest and host enjoyed. Jack asked questions with great pleasure, and Wei Chen answered perfectly. Jack even felt that this interview could be posted directly without polishing. At the end of the interview, Jack made another request, " Director Wei, we plan to use you as the cover of this magazine. Can Director Wei take the time to shoot the magazine cover for us?"
Wei Chen was a little surprised that he was chosen as the cover, but he didn't show it on his face and replied: "Mr. Jack When is it convenient?"
"We will cooperate with Director Wei's time." Jack said with a smile.
"Then let's stay in my office." Wei Chen didn't want to make a trip, so he directly suggested.
Jack replied: "That's what we had in mind. In order not to waste Director Wei's time, I brought the cameramen here today."
The two reached an agreement and immediately prepared to shoot the magazine cover in the office. The photographer soon discovered a problem: Wei Chen couldn't smile.
The theme of their cover today is actually to express the energetic side of Wei Chen. After all, Wei Chen is only twenty-four years old now, which is the prime time of his life. He wants to express that there is no conflict between calmness and vitality.
"Director Wei, can you smile?" After receiving the photographer's request for help, Jack said to Wei Chen. He had actually discovered it a long time ago. He and Wei Chen had seen each other for so long, and Wei Chen had never smiled once. It was always like this. Smiling look.
"Sorry." Wei Chen said apologetically: "For some reasons, I can't laugh."
Jack immediately apologized, "It's us who should apologize. We didn't understand it clearly in advance."
"I didn't make it clear." Wei Chen Chen said, trying to smile, but he couldn't control the muscles at the corners of his mouth.
After Jack learned about the situation, he immediately thought of another plan with the photographer. Later, he found that Wei Chen stood silently and stared seriously in one direction with a very strong aura. Jack immediately made the decision and was furious. field.
The photographer is worthy of being a photographer for a business magazine. The photos he took can capture Wei Chen's aura without going through Photoshop. Just looking at this photo makes people feel sad and breathless.
"Perfect!" Jack couldn't help but clapped his hands and said.
