139. Chapter 139 The Meeting

Translator: 艾米

Li Che took Li Zheyu a few steps forward and heard some kind of collision behind him.

The sound of the collision was clear. Their car hood must be hit. The perpetrators, however, had some sanity and did not drove too fast. As the bumper was blocking their car, the collision sound was quite loud.

Li Zheyu turned his head to look at their car and screamed, “Brother Li!”

Only then did Li Che turn around and looked at the scene behind him with interest.

He saw a tall and handsome man coming down from the driver’s seat and looking at himself with a defiant look. “Sorry, I stepped on the wrong pedal. I thought it was the brakes.”

Well, it was a bit similar to how he apologized earlier.

The man in front of him looked rebellious and cock-a-hoop, and Li Che was even more interested.

Li Zheyu was still shouting, “Excuse me? Do you know what kind of car this is?! Can you afford it?!”

Li Zheyu remembered Qi Le’an, but he didn’t have time to remember a small agent beside Qi Le’an. He had heard of Chen Bin’s name, but he had never met him, so of course he did not know that the man in front of him was a young master who was even not afraid of Jiang Shan.

Chen Bin snorted, “Isn’t it just an F70? Anyone who drove a car like this here must be insane.”

Li Che was also scolded by his words.

Qi Le’an sat in the car and watched his Brother Chen fight. He thought to himself that he had not seen Chen Bin like this for a long time.

Then so be it. In any case, based on Li Zheyu’s behaviors, the competition must have been rigged, so he didn’t need to show any mercy.

Li Zheyu was furious and said, “Show some respect!”

Chen Bin ignored him. He stared straight at Li Che and asked, “Where did this ugly thing come from?  As the master, you have to control your dog even if you don’t say anything.”

Li Zhe Yu, “…” ‘No, I’m going to faint!’

Qi Le’an in the car laughed out loud. He thought that Chen Bin was surely the number one satirist in the world.

At this point, Li Che finally spoke. But when he spoke, he startled the other three.

“There’s… no need to pay for the car. What’s your WeChat ID? I’ll take you as a friend.”

Li Zheyu, who wanted to rely on Li Che, clenched his fists in pain! It seemed that his godbrother was right, and Li Che was really a weirdo!

Chen Bin felt so disgusted with the flirting. He turned around and got into the car.

Qi Le’an, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was afraid that Chen Bin would be angry, so he asked, “Brother Chen, are you alright?”

Chen Bin sneered, “You wanna play? Then let’s play!”

Qi Le’an silently watched Chen Bin drove their shabby car and found a parking slot to park in.

Everyone had set aside time in advance. So even with the parking lot incident, no one was late. Chen Bin parked the car and went upstairs with Qi Le’an. When they got out of the elevator, they immediately met Deng Jie.

Deng Jie was still in a professional outfit. After looking at Qi Le’an for several times with a critical look, she said, “Come with me.”

Then she went straight away on her own, not caring whether Qi Le’an would follow her or not.

Qi Le’an and Chen Bin looked at each other and decided to follow Deng Jie’s footsteps.

Along the corridor of Coolrunning, there were many products displayed in glass cabinets. Qi Le’an looked all the way and his eyes lingered on a pair of children’s shoes.

Chen Bin asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

Qi Le’an shook his head.

Deng Jie led the two of them into a meeting room. A few people were sitting in the room here and there. When they saw Deng Jie come in, they all stood up.

“Please be seated,” Deng Jie said.

Those people sat down one after another. Deng Jie turned to look at Qi Le’an and said, “Please be seated too. Come with us to meet President Li later.”

Qi Le’an sat down, feeling like he was standing in line.

The meeting room was very quiet, everyone was busy with their own business. Qi Le’an and Chen Bin sat and stared at each other.

“What’s going on here, Brother Chen!”

“I don’t know! I always think these people are out of their mind!”

The group of people “who were out of their mind” quickly finished their work. Deng Jie looked at her watch and said, “Let’s go.”

Everyone stood up, held the file in their hands and prepared to leave.

Qi Le’an was startled by the scene then Deng Jie said, “Come with us.”

Qi Le An thought inwardly, “Brother Chen, are you sure it was not a terrorist organization?”

The group went out and Qi Le’an and Chen Bin followed them to a bigger meeting room. Chen Bin couldn’t go in, so he could only watch Qi Le’an enter the room.

This meeting room was noticeably larger than the last one. There were chairs on both sides of the long table and there was a podium on the top. Qi Le’an went in and saw Li Che and Li Zheyu sitting on the right at the first sight.

Li Che smiled when he saw Qi Le’an. His eyes seemed to be searching for the people around him, and he looked slightly disappointed when he didn’t find anyone he wanted.

Qi Le’an was suddenly on the alert. “What does this guy want to do with Chen Ge?”

Deng Jie took Qi Le An to sit on a chair on the left. As for the middle position at the end of the long table, it was empty.

Qi Le’an would be a fool if he couldn’t understand it anymore. It was Deng Jie who had chosen him, while Li Che had chosen Li Zheyu, and the two of them were going to fight?

Why was an endorsement such a hassle?

Qi Le’an’s eyes inadvertently glanced at Li Zheyu’s position. Li Zheyu looked cold and exquisite in front of other people. He looked really more reliable than Qi Le’an.

“But… humph! This is a sports brand! What they need is a sunny and healthy young man like me!”

At two o’clock, the door of the meeting room was opened again. The kind-looking old man whom Qi Le’an had seen in the photo came in with the help of his assistant.

Deng Jie and Li Che both stood up and said, “President Li.”

Unexpectedly, Li Che also said, “President Li.”

Qi Le’an was surprised for two seconds. He thought Li Che would call President Li “Grandfather”.

President Li smiled and waved, and he asked everyone to sit down. His gaze swept over Li Zheyu, then paused on Qi Le’an for two seconds and smiled, “There’s a new face! Please be seated, everybody, and make yourselves at home!”

Li Che took the lead and sat down. He smiled and said, “Both of them are candidates for product endorsement. Sister Deng said that President Li would take a look at them personally.”

Qi Le’an felt that this was uncomfortable, what did he mean by “take a look at them personally”? Did they take him as an item?

But to his surprise, after everyone sat down, Deng Jie and Li Che began to report their work.

Qi Le’an thought inwardly, “Aren’t they here for a public debate? What the heck?”

After listening to the report of the two people for twenty minutes, Qi Le’an finally understood. It turned out that the two of them had two pathways to the next season’s new product release, and they chose Qi Le’an and Li Zheyu for the two styles of the new product endorsement.

That is to say, it depended on President Li to decide which style of the new product the company would choose, and the result would determine which of them would get the endorsement.

Qi Le’an was a little curious. Didn’t big companies keep it a secret? Can celebrities participate in this kind of thing?

After explaining their plans, Deng Jie focused on “Making young people’s sports happier” while Li Che promoted “Never Stop Exercising”. Anyway, from Qi Le’an’s point of view, it was impossible to tell which side was better or worse.

President Li was also pondering after hearing this and asked, “What do the two spokesmen think?”

Compared to the confused Qi Le’an, Li Zheyu was well-prepared. He smiled and replied, “President Li Jr.’s plan involves a wider range of people, and sports is not just for young people. President Li Jr. was promoting the spirit of the whole sports, and ‘never stop’ was also my spirit.”

Li Che added, “Zheyu has an album called ‘Never Stop’, which is very close to the idea of our promotion this time.”

President Li nodded and asked Qi Le’an, “What do you think, little boy?”

Everyone looked at Qi Le’an. Although he was young, he was not afraid at all. “I think President Li Jr. said very well.”

Deng Jie frowned slightly while Li Che looked at him with interest.

“But a wider-ranged plan means it’s less-targeted, right? I don’t know much about business, but I think that one should be a master in his own special field, and it will be better to focus on one road.”

With that, Qi Le’an smiled shyly at President Li, showing the charisma of a young man.

Deng Jie’s eyes lit up when she heard Qi Le’an’s words. When Qi Le’an finished speaking, she said, “We have different products for men, women, adults and children, but we have never dominated products for teenagers ages 14 to 22. Compared to President Li Jr.’s conventional product, it is obvious that a plan aimed at a specific group will be better.”

“Besides, if it’s the same as before, we’ll just keep using athletes. There’s no need to go for celebrities.”

Deng Jie’s merciless words made Li Zheyu feel a little embarrassed. On the other hand, everyone present seemed to be familiar with Deng Jie’s way of speaking. Even Li Che’s face showed no anger.

“You said it very well, Jie,” President Li nodded and said, “There is indeed a blank space in this aspect. We can try to make a breakthrough.”

President Li’s words showed some support, and the expressions on the faces of the Deng Jie’s team were much more relaxed.

But right at this moment, Li Che said, “Sister Deng’s plan is fine.. But I think our artist is better. Why don’t we use Sister Deng’s plan to make Zheyu the spokesman?”

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the room was a little odd, while President Li’s expression looked complicated.

Only Li Zheyu’s eyes lit up. It seemed that the Godbrother was quite useful! Li Che was really good!

Qi Le’an was about to get the endorsement, but it was suddenly snatched away by Li Che. He was at a loss.

How could he come like this? What the hell was this?

President Li, who had the right to decide, chuckled. “Both of them are very good. I’ve read the information. How about this? Why don’t you guys tell me what you think about Coolrunning?”

Qi Le’an thought to himself that what should have come was finally here.

“I like Coolrunning very much,” said Li Zheyu before he started to speak.

Qi Le’an thought inwardly, “”Damn! Why was the man in such a hurry?“”

However, Li Zheyu won the initiative, so he couldn’t say more but only listened to his rival’s speech, “Coolrunning is a big domestic brand. I have man Coolrunning clothes and shoes and I think their quality is no worse than those overseas.”

“But the current market is highly monopolized by foreign products. The only national industries came from a high imitation and piration.

“I am very sad to see this. I hope to use my meager influence to make a little contribution to our national industry. I want to tell everyone that we actually have such an excellent choice in sports brands!”

Li Zheyu said with tears in his eyes, and even Qi Le’an had to admit that he said very well.

There were only a few words that could make people feel touched and Li Zheyu had said them all. What else could Qi Le’an say?

Qi Le’an was still out of his mind when he heard President Li say, “What about this child? What do you want to say?”
