Chapter 0738: Taking Sides, Not Reason

Early the next morning, Zhao Fusheng had breakfast with Fan Baobao, sent her to school, and then got into the car to head to Future Advertising.

On the way, Zhao Fusheng thought about whether he should save up some money to buy a car. He had gotten his driver's license in his previous life anyway, and getting a license these days wasn't as troublesome as it would be a dozen years later—he could just find someone and spend some money to get it done.

Having been used to driving, now relying entirely on taxis, Zhao Fusheng really wasn't adapting well.

The most critical thing was that Beijing was too big, and taking taxis was not cheap—wasting money and inconvenient to boot.

After all, he was a commoner at heart; even if Zhao Fusheng had tens of millions in assets, he wouldn't waste a single cent.

As Tan Kaixuan put it, an ox is an ox, even if you bring it to Beijing. Zhao Fusheng was destined to be a penny-pincher all his life.

Teacher Zhao.

Hello, Teacher.

Walking through the advertising company's office building, staff members passing by would bow and greet Zhao Fusheng from time to time.

As the saying goes, those who excel come first. The same applied in advertising. People who made money from creative inspiration respected those with talent and ability even more. Now, Zhao Fusheng's status in the company was no secret, and everyone maintained sufficient respect for this young golden planner.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and greeted everyone along the way. That was just how he was: if others respected him a foot, he respected them ten feet. Conversely, if someone dared to provoke him, Zhao Fusheng wouldn't mind letting them know his capabilities.

You're here.

When he reached Dong Chenxi's office door, she happened to open it and walk out. Seeing Zhao Fusheng, she was momentarily stunned, then tossed the things in her hand to her assistant, gave some instructions, turned around, and pulled Zhao Fusheng into the office.

Hey, hey, hey, I have a girlfriend. Dragging me around like this, what's the meaning of this? Zhao Fusheng said helplessly, but the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed.

He was always tolerant and polite with old friends.

Get lost. Believe me, I'll call Fan Baobao right now, Dong Chenxi said irritably.

She and Fan Baobao had a decent relationship; they were the kind of friends who had each other's private numbers and would chat when they had nothing to do.

Of course, they weren't close confidantes, but at least they weren't distant.

What's going on? Why did you suddenly decide to get involved in making the ad? Dong Chenxi asked, looking at Zhao Fusheng.

She was different from Bai Jie. Bai Jie was not only the vice president of Future Advertising but also Zheng Yao's close friend, while Dong Chenxi's relationship with Zheng Yao was more of a superior-subordinate leadership dynamic; she wasn't as familiar with Zheng Yao as Bai Jie was.

To put it bluntly, Dong Chenxi was someone Zhao Fusheng had placed in the company. She was closer to Zhao Fusheng and naturally considered things more from his perspective.

After hearing Bai Jie say that Zhao Fusheng was planning to intervene in the production of the Uni President Ice Tea ad, Dong Chenxi was utterly baffled at the time. In her view, even if there were ten thousand reasons, it couldn't be as Bai Jie said—that Zhao Fusheng was dissatisfied with the ad produced. As Zhao Fusheng's friend and acquaintance, she knew his personality too well. There was absolutely no way he would get involved in this case for that reason.

Originally, Dong Chenxi had planned to call Zhao Fusheng right then, but Bai Jie said Zhao Fusheng was coming to the company today, so she dropped the idea.

So the moment she saw Zhao Fusheng, she pulled him into her office.

"Can't I be a little diligent?" Hearing Dong Chenxi's question, Zhao Fusheng smiled and said casually.

Dong Chenxi rolled her eyes at him, looking like she didn't want to bother with him.

Having known each other for so long, who didn't know who? If someone said Zhao Fusheng liked to meddle, Dong Chenxi would believe it. But if anyone said he liked to get involved in company matters, Dong Chenxi just wanted to give them a cold sneer.

Foolish and ignorant humans, they really didn't understand Zhao Fusheng's temperament.

A bit embarrassed, Zhao Fusheng looked at Dong Chenxi and said helplessly, "Well, it's like this. I mainly want to replace the male lead singer."

"Why?" Dong Chenxi looked bewildered. She was truly confused, not knowing what trick he was up to.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and explained the whole story from beginning to end. "In short, it's a personal grudge. If you think it's inappropriate, I have nothing to say. I'll accept the criticism, but I won't change."

Dong Chenxi burst out laughing, looking at Zhao Fusheng helplessly. "Hey, saying that means you don't see me as a friend."

Zhao Fusheng was taken aback. He really hadn't expected Dong Chenxi to say that.

Clearly, Dong Chenxi had no intention of interfering. In fact, she seemed to think he was right to do so.

Actually, this was Zhao Fusheng's thinking error. He had been considering the matter with a relatively rational mindset, forgetting that Dong Chenxi was not only the manager of Future Advertising but also his friend and a woman.

Any girl, upon hearing such a story, would secretly wish she were the heroine.

After all, it's rare to see someone go on a rampage for a beauty.

"Go ahead and do whatever you want. It's not like we're begging Uni-President for this ad. As for that little guy, ha, daring to pursue Fan Baobao? I'll make sure he never gets another ad." Dong Chenxi shrugged and said to Zhao Fusheng.

Nowadays, Future Advertising was a major company with considerable influence in the industry. Blacklisting a newcomer wasn't really a difficult task.

Zhao Fusheng laughed. "If that little guy hears you, he'll be heartbroken."

Dong Chenxi rolled her eyes. "I don't care if he's heartbroken or not. I don't even know him."

Zhao Fusheng was speechless. What kind of people were around him? Siding with friends regardless of reason, and saying it so confidently, it was just exasperating. But in truth, he was quite happy. After all, having someone's support felt good.

"By the way, how do you plan to deal with that kid?" Dong Chenxi asked Zhao Fusheng.

If it was just replacing the male lead, in her opinion, that wouldn't be satisfying enough.

Zhao Fusheng thought for a moment. "I haven't figured it out yet, but I believe if he loses this ad song, his development in the entertainment industry won't be so smooth, right?"

Dong Chenxi was stunned. Thinking it over, it really was as Zhao Fusheng said.

According to Zhao Fusheng, if that Chen Sicheng was about to sign with Warner Music thanks to this ad song, then replacing him would prevent the signing. Not only that, he'd lose the ad, and with Future Advertising spreading the word to blacklist him, his prospects in the advertising circle would be completely cut off.

"How ruthless!"

Dong Chenxi looked at Zhao Fusheng and suddenly felt a chill.
