Chapter 142: with translation of chapter title

After listening to Zhengzheng finish speaking, I took a puff of a cigarette and thought to myself, this child's idea is much stronger than Xiao Fang's planned activity.

I said, "Zhengzheng, what you say makes sense. Only by targeting customers with purchasing desire will our activity's effect be obvious."

This way, we hold a concert at the stadium; those who like to watch the performance can pay to watch it.

Those who intend to buy a house can pay a deposit on the spot, and we will refund double the concert ticket price.

This way both sides gain.

"Zhengzheng, this idea is great; I support you."

I will contact your brother later to ask when he will return.

After he returns, we will set the opening period,

then we will proceed according to the planning method you mentioned.

Hearing my praise, Zhengzheng felt a bit shy,

actually his face turned completely red.

Zhengzheng said, "Dad, I just said that; you should also ask Xiao Fang whether she agrees with my plan.

Also, letting the audience ask questions is unnecessary; if someone dislikes our company and gets on stage to deliberately say bad things about us, we would have no way to explain.

What if someone raises unreasonable demands—how would we respond,

that would be tantamount to destroying our company's reputation."

Zhengzheng sees the problem more deeply than I do,

I previously thought Xiao Fang's team's idea was great, but after Zhengzheng said that, I suddenly realized we can't just mess around like that.

We can only promote the good side of our company,

we cannot let customers know too much.

At this moment I raised my wine cup and said, "Zhengzheng, Dad is truly happy for you. It seems you really have talent in this area.

Do you still want to continue studying and pursue further education?"

Zhengzheng nodded,

"Dad, in advertising and promotion, some good ideas are created by foreign companies; we merely imitate them. That's why I propose to study abroad, to broaden my horizons and understand the world, so I believe my creativity will improve greatly." Zhengzheng said.

"That path can be taken, but I'm not keen on you going to Woguo; could you go to another country instead?" I asked Zhengzheng.

Zhengzheng said, "Woguo also has many excellent aspects; learning from their excellence is not excessive. Being hidebound is what's truly frightening.

"Dad, I like their animation; I've grown up watching their cartoons, and I want to go there to see. Other countries don't interest me."

After hearing Zhengzheng's words,

I did not speak directly.

"Alright, brother, let's not talk about this anymore. Drink, Zhengzheng, after finishing the drink come with me to the gym.

You are at the age when your body is growing, so you need more exercise." Shi Yong said.

Zhengzheng lowered his head and said nothing.

I then raised my wine cup, clinked it with Shi Yong's, and drank it all in one go.

After Shi Yong took Zhengzheng away,

I thought to myself, Zhengzheng, I will definitely promise you; after I finish this activity, I will send you away.

Let him see the outside world.

The child has grown up and has his own ideas; as a father I must support him.

Soon it was evening,

I washed my body in the bathroom,

these past days, due to my leg injury, I haven't taken a bath.

Only occasionally did I let Shi Yong help wipe my body; Shi Yong gave me a quick rub twice and then said it was fine.

Shi Yong himself hardly ever bathes, so how could he possibly give me a thorough wash.

The bathroom was specially equipped with a large bathtub,

which I use for soaking when I have nothing to do; it has various functions, with automatic water temperature adjustment.

I took off my clothes, dragged my injured leg, and crawled into the bathtub.

The water temperature was just right; I lay comfortably, enjoying the massage in the tub.

Because I hadn't bathed for a long time,

my body actually developed a layer of skin from soaking.

Looking at my body, the scar on my leg lay there like a large earthworm on my thigh.

I rubbed it with my hand and could still feel pain.

It seems it hasn't fully healed yet,

sigh, when I was fifteen or sixteen, I injured my testicles from a bicycle fall, and my fate changed from then on.

Now, in my forties, a car accident broke my leg, and my fate changed again.

It seems my life has truly been unlucky.

After my vital parts were injured and never fully recovered, plus the leg injury, I am completely done for this lifetime.

Thinking of this, my mood feels a bit low,

I took out a cigarette from beside the tub and lit it,

If I think pessimistically, what meaning is there in living like this? But I, Zhaoerhai, am what kind of person? Unbreakable.

No matter what, I will persist and move forward.

Facing various challenges.

What is there to fear,

It's nothing, I'll start over.

Hum, thinking about this I let out a breath.

At this moment I suddenly remembered, I need to contact Sun Dajun to ask him what time he's coming back from the south.

I want to set the time for the new building's launch.

Sun Dajun is very important, really important now.

I quickly washed my face and climbed out of the bathtub,

Put on a towel, then walked to the office.

Found the phone, started calling Sun Dajun.

But, I didn't expect that,

The phone actually came with a woman's voice: 'The number you dialed is not in service area.'

What is this kid busy with, not in service area.

I paused a moment and tried again, still the same result.

I thought Sun Dajun couldn't be reached, I'll try contacting Ya Li, they must be together.

I dialed Ya Li's phone again,

The result was still the same answer.

This is strange,

Their phones usually aren't turned off, and besides they haven't gone abroad, how come they're not in service area?

My heart was full of doubts.

I smoked a cigarette, then drank a cup of tea,

Then I took out the phone again, called them, still the same.

I checked the phone time, it was just after nine at night, this time shouldn't be sleeping time.

I was just holding the phone, dazed.

At this moment, Niu Ju called me,

I immediately answered,

Niu Ju directly asked me on the phone: 'Jianqiang, have you contacted Dajun?'

I said: 'No, I'm calling him, but I can't get through. Contacting Director Kang is the same. What's going on?'

Niu Ju said: 'I started contacting Dajun this afternoon, and he's always not in service area. This kid usually doesn't have this habit. I feel this matter is very strange.'

Ah, Director Kang also couldn't be reached. Jianqiang, I have a bad feeling: that Dajun has gone missing.

Upon hearing Niu Ju say that, I immediately said: 'Niu Ju, how could this be? In a law-abiding society, who would dare do illegal things? Niu Ju, the south wouldn't be that chaotic, would it?'

Niu Ju said: 'Jianqiang, in Zaocheng this definitely wouldn't happen, but in the south, that's not our little plot of land, so it's hard to say.'

I'll have people go to the south shortly to investigate secretly.

See where Dajun has gone.

I said: 'Okay, Niu Ju, then thank you for the trouble.'

Now the new building's launch is right before us, it's a critical moment for the Group Company.

This Dajun won't listen at all, insists on going south. I hope Niu Ju you can find him quickly,

Otherwise I'll be worried to death.

'Jianqiang, you don't need to worry either. I'll first send people to look, then we'll talk. If you have any updates, contact me promptly. I still have things to do, goodbye Jianqiang.' Niu Ju said.

I also said: 'Okay, Niu Ju, goodbye.'

After hanging up Niu Ju's phone, I raised my head to look out the window,

The pitch-black night, actually couldn't see a single star.

Where on earth did this kid Sun Dajun go?
