Li Ruoxin's words stimulated the softest part of Ye Fan's heart.
For a moment, he was filled with shame and didn't know how to respond to her.
"Brother Ye, what's wrong with you?" Li Ruoxin saw Ye Fan looking weird and asked quickly.
"No, let's go back to the store first." Ye Fan smiled, "I'll be gone for more than half a month. You've worked hard during this time."
"Actually, I'm okay. It's mainly Lei Jun and the others who are holding me back from the front." Li Ruoxin took Ye Fan's arm and walked out of the underground parking garage.
Ye Fan's return greatly excited the employees.
Although Ye Fan worked as a hands-off shopkeeper in Novan for half a year, whenever there was a problem in Novan, he was the one who stood up to solve the problem.
Whether it was a financial crisis or difficulties in renting a store, Ye Fan solved it as soon as he appeared.
Therefore, in the eyes of all employees, Ye Fan is the patron saint of the store.
In addition, Ye Fan has been the hands-off shopkeeper for too long, giving people a mysterious color.
When he travels far away, he must have other big business.
While everyone was talking about the mysterious whereabouts of the chairman, he was sitting obediently in the office on the second floor.
Lei Jun pointed at his nose and cursed.
Now almost all of Novin's burdens fall on Lei Jun.
Yuan Yin sometimes comes to help, but he also has property in his own hands and cannot spend all his time on Nuofan.
As for Murong Qi, Luo Donghai and others, they all work from the workplace and work from nine to five, with rigid working hours, and have no time to distract themselves to relieve Lei Jun's stress.
As for Wu Xue, she is not familiar with business. Apart from helping Novan get some orders as a shareholder of the Li Group, she can't help with anything else.
Therefore, Lei Jun carried the banner of Novan and moved forward with difficulty.
Originally, if Ye Fan was here, he could still help. At least the two of them had a good understanding of business and knew the basics.
But in the past few months, Ye Fan has become more and more willful, easily skipping out for ten days and a half.
Although Lei Jun also admitted that Ye Fan solved many big problems in Novin, the follow-up is the top priority.
Novin is now in the most critical stage of development. Dozens of branches are being renovated, and various advertising and cooperation are also being carried out closely.
The chairman was nowhere to be seen all day long, leaving Lei Jun alone with all the ideas. You can imagine how stressful it was.
Ye Fan was scolded so badly by Lei Jun that he did not dare to refute.
After all, he was wronged first.
Seeing that Lei Jun was much thinner than Li Ruoxin, no matter how unhappy he was, he didn't have the shame to fight back.
"Mr. Lei, calm down your anger, drink some tea to moisten your throat, and then scold later." Li Ruoxin covered her mouth with a smile and filled Lei Jun's cup of tea.
Lei Jun coughed and smiled bitterly at Li Ruoxin: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry with this grandson! You also know how tiring our Nuofan's work has been recently. This grandson... is too special to be a thing!"
"Yes, yes, I'm not a thing." Ye Fan rolled his eyes, looking like he was admitting his guilt.
"Ye Fan, why don't you be upset, you damn girl, did I say something wrong?"
Seeing Ye Fan's attitude, Lei Jun became even more angry and pointed at Li Ruoxin: "I won't tell you how tired I am. Look at my sister-in-law, how much weight she has lost!"
"Lei Jun, when I come back this time, I shouldn't wander around anymore. Ahem, you are the general manager. Give me a task and I promise to solve it within three days!"
Ye Fan said sarcastically.
"Okay, we at Novin want to hire a spokesperson. Here are the quotes from several popular celebrities. Money is not an issue. Let's see who you can get."
Lei Jun grabbed a large stack of documents from his desk and threw it to Ye Fan, folding his arms and groaning.
"I'm going to say something ugly up front. I've tried to find most of the agents and almost lost my job, but I haven't even met them once.
I leave this matter to you, and I don’t want you to solve it within three days. It only needs to be solved half a month before the opening of our fifty Novo branches!
You still have a month, I want to see what you do!
You don’t have to worry about advertising, I’ve already done the public relations, and as long as we sign the endorsement stars, we can start promoting it right away!”
Ye Fan captured the key point in Lei Jun's words, "Fifty stores opened at the same time?"
"Of course!" Lei Jun said proudly.
"Hey, this vote is a big deal!" Ye Fan secretly exclaimed.
But seeing Lei Jun's confidence, Ye Fan no longer had any doubts.
This guy has been hanging out with his father in the business circle since he was a child. There must be some reason why he dares to do this.
Ye Fan flipped through the endorsement proposal copy in his hand, suddenly his eyes froze, and he took out one copy.
"No need to look, just her!"
"Huh?" Lei Jun was suddenly shocked, "Ye Fan, are you right? You have such a big appetite, you just catch the fattest one?"
"What, are you not sure?"
"It's hard to say." Lei Jun curled his lips, "Her agent asked for too high a price, and he also wanted to buy shares.
We at Novin came here this year and have made a good start in the Binhai market, and our reputation in the region is not small.
Her agent is a good person, very keen on the market, and can tell you ten percentage points with just one mouthful!"
"The lion opened his mouth!" Ye Fan was stunned, and then clicked on the file, "It's just her, there's nothing to say!"
"Damn it, have you been hit in the head? Can you agree to such harsh conditions?" Lei Jun was shocked.
Li Ruoxin was also shocked and quickly persuaded: "Brother Ye, although we have sufficient funds recently, the demands that cannot be met are indeed too much.
We all discussed it and let her pass as the first one."
"Yes, Ye Fan, look at the price offered by her agent!" Lei Jun breathed rapidly.
"Fuck, 30 million a year! Nowadays, in the commercial activities of A-list stars, the endorsement contract is 10 million a year, which is considered to be the maximum.
That old woman actually dared to quote such a price, and she wasn’t afraid of breaking her belly even if it was a commercial promotion event or other expenses!”
"Maybe it has something to do with the recent tax reform policy." Ye Fan smiled nonchalantly, "It means that her agent is still reasonable in this regard and does not play tricks like yin and yang contracts."
Lei Jun naturally knows the ropes of celebrity business, and he won't point it out right now.
"No matter how reasonable they are, their price is too high." Lei Jun sighed.
"Look, most of the quotes from other first-tier celebrities are only about eight million a year. Even if we spend more extra money, it is still within our ability to bear.
She's so disgusting, it makes me sick just looking at her!"
"Lei Jun, since you left it to me, just keep it in your stomach." Ye Fan looked at his watch, "She should be fine at this point. I'll go and give it a try."
With that said, Ye Fan picked up the endorsement contract plan and walked to the desk.
"Are you going now?" Lei Jun was stunned.
"Nonsense, I'm a good man who does what I say!"
Ye Fan laughed, picked up a pen and erased the share conditions of the endorsement contract. Then after thinking about it, he erased a zero from the endorsement fee.
When Li Ruoxin saw what he had done, she was so shocked that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
"Brother Ye, you...why have you changed so little? They won't agree..."
"Xiao Li, have you ever seen my attempts fail?" Ye Fan pulled Li Ruoxin out of Lei Jun's office, "Lei Jun, you can start preparing for the follow-up publicity work!"
Lei Jun rolled his eyes, "Nima, who do you think you are? Three million...just want to sign Zi Ying'er?"
Ye Fan was too lazy to pay attention to him and took Li Ruoxin back to the chairman's office.
Usually when Ye Fan is away, this is where Li Ruoxin works.
No one else has any objection to this. After all, Ye Fan is often away, and Li Ruoxin is his fiancée and the second largest shareholder of Novin.
Only she is qualified to sit in this office.
Of course, as the general manager, Lei Jun is responsible for all development work of Novin, so it stands to reason that he can also work here.
It's just that Lei Jun decorated his office so well that he didn't like Ye Fan's office at all, so that Ye Fan wanted to change it with him several times.
"Xiao Li, do you have a spare mobile phone?" Ye Fan asked.
"Huh?" Li Ruoxin was stunned, "Brother Ye, where is your mobile phone?"
"I didn't bring them all back from overseas." Ye Fan smiled bitterly.
"Then you can use mine first!" Li Ruoxin handed her new mobile phone to Ye Fan, "You can just get a replacement card then."
"No need to go to such trouble, just give me your old mobile phone for emergency use." Ye Fan chuckled, "I'll find time to buy one tomorrow."
"Okay! Brother Ye, my old mobile phone is a bit stuck, and many functions are not easy to use."
Li Ruoxin dug out an outdated old mobile phone from the desk drawer with buttons on it.
Ten years ago, this mobile phone would have been quite popular, but now... haha, it can be included in the museum of mobile phone history.
"Brother Ye, I just came here to apply for the mobile phone card. My mother and my brother will only contact me when they want money.
Since the last incident, they have never called my number again. However, when I talk to my dad on the phone, I still use this phone."
Li Ruoxin turned on the phone and said with a smile: "Although the model is a bit old, the battery capacity is still very large."
"As long as you can make a phone call."
Ye Fan didn't take it seriously and picked up the phone and dialed a number.
However, after a few sounds, it was cut off.
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, then called again.
This time, it took a long time for the other party to get through, and his voice was somewhat guarded.
"Hello, who's there?"
"Zi Ying'er? It's me, Ye Fan!"
"Ah, Mr. Ye?"
There was a low cry of surprise on the other end of the phone.
The call volume on the old phone was quite loud. When Li Ruoxin heard that Ye Fan was actually talking to the popular goddess, she covered her red lips in surprise.
It turns out that she thought what Mark Ye said just now was just a joke, but she didn't expect that he really knew Zi Ying'er!
"What's going on there? Is it so noisy?" Ye Fan frowned.
"I'm back to Binhai. The company held a new song conference. I met the fans by the way." Zi Ying'er smiled softly, "I'm going out in ten minutes. If you have anything to say, please tell me!"
"It's like this. My company wants to cooperate with you on something. It just so happens that you haven't had any endorsements in the food industry in the past two years, so I want to sign a contract with you."
Ye Fan got straight to the point, "I can only afford three million to sign you to a one-year short-term contract, and the business will pay according to the market price. Just do me a favor, how about it?"
