Chapter 942 Substitution
Of course Lin Yan couldn't hear what the two little guys were saying in their hearts, but her eyes saw their expressions. As the mother knows her child best, Lin Yan understood what was going on at a glance.
She thought about it, picked up the handkerchief beside her and wiped her hands, then stood up and went to the side, took out a two-yuan bill from her bag and gave it to Yangyang.
"Here's the money. Be careful on the way to the Children's Palace and don't spend it carelessly. This money is for you and Yangyang. Also, this is considered an advance payment. You know the rules."
"I understand, I understand! I'll take care of the car and garden cleaning on Sunday!" Yang Yang was overjoyed when he saw the money, and immediately patted his chest and agreed.
The Song Dynasty Yuan family set rules for their children. In addition to the fixed pocket money, if they wanted to advance other money, they had to exchange it for labor. This labor was doing housework. There were servants for daily housework including cleaning the house, but washing the car and cleaning the garden were left to the children. This was also a way to educate children and tell them that they would never get something for nothing.
"Remember! There won't be a next time if you don't meet the standards." Lin Yan handed the money to her son and specifically reminded him.
Yangyang nodded repeatedly and took the money with a smile, then put the money into the inner pocket of his clothes. Then he patted his pocket contentedly and glanced at his daughter beside him with a smug expression in his eyes.
"Hmph!" Nannan snorted somewhat unhappily, and turned her head away with her braids. She poked the soy milk in the small bowl with a spoon in her hand. She thought, what's there to be proud of? It's just two yuan, isn't it? Although it's not time for her to get pocket money yet, she is so cute. On Sundays, when her brother is washing the car and cleaning the garden at home, she will pester her mother to go shopping with her. Oh, right! It would be best if Aunt Linlin and Aunt Xiaoyun come with them. They love her the most. When the time comes, she will act like a spoiled child and they will definitely buy her delicious and fun things to make her brother jealous!
After breakfast, it was getting late and I heard a beeping horn outside the door.
Yangyang quickly jumped down from the chair, picked up his schoolbag and said to Lin Yan, "My second aunt and Maomao are here. I'm going to school with them first!"
"Go, go..." Lin Yan waved her hand, and Yangyang couldn't wait to run outside. After Yangyang left, Lin Yan helped Nannan pack up, then took her hand and went out.
This is usually the case, because Yangyang and Maomao are both in elementary school now, and the school is a bit far from home, so every day Rowling basically drives Maomao to Lin Yan's place first, picks up Yangyang, and sends them to school.
As for Lin Yan, since her daughter is still in kindergarten, which is near her home and in two directions from the primary school, she first sends her daughter to kindergarten and then goes to the company.
After sending her daughter to kindergarten and handing her over to the kindergarten teacher in person and saying goodbye, Lin Yan drove to the company.
Half an hour later, she arrived at the company, parked the car, and Lin Yan entered the company's gate.
"Morning, Mr. Lin..."
"Good morning, Mr. Lin..."
It was working hours at the company. Lin Yan met many subordinates who greeted her along the way. With a smile, Lin Yan nodded slightly to them and said good morning.
Now, the scale of advertising companies has become very large. With the development in recent years, Lin Yan's advertising company is the largest advertising company in Shanghai and the most famous advertising company. Even in the whole country, their advertising company ranks among the best in the advertising industry.
The advertising company initially occupied an old Western-style house, which was purchased when the advertising company was established. It had a very good location and was large enough for office use.
Last year, due to the relocation and reconstruction, part of the outer area was demolished, so that the old house, which was originally located inside, is now adjacent to the main road, which makes it more convenient to enter and exit. In addition, the company also bought a house next to it, and took the opportunity of the relocation and reconstruction to directly open up the walls on both sides and replan it, thus forming a layout of east and west wings, which doubled the office area.
Now, in addition to the advertising company, Shenghua Charity Foundation's domestic office is also located here. Lin Yan and Li Xiaoyun are not only responsible for the business of the advertising company, but also undertake the actual work of the charity foundation, which makes things much more convenient.
Walk through the corridor and go up to the third floor, where Lin Yan's office is located. Next to her office is Li Xiaoyun's office. However, Li Xiaoyun is not in Shanghai these days. She has gone out of town to handle foundation work. Accompanying her is Li Daqi's lover Zheng Li, who is also Li Xiaoyun's sister-in-law.
Zheng Li usually does not work in Shanghai , but is usually in Pengcheng. Because Li Daqi and Li Daqi's parents now live in Pengcheng, Zheng Li will only come to Shanghai when she has something to do, and stays in Pengcheng on weekdays.
After entering the office, Lin Yan took off her windbreaker and hung it on the hanger behind the door, and then hung her bag on it as well.
"Mr. Lin, your coffee..." Assistant Xiao Zhu walked in with coffee. Due to work reasons, Lin Yan used to drink tea, but in the past two years she gradually changed her taste and started drinking coffee. Every day when she arrives at the company, a cup of coffee is necessary, and she will drink another cup in the afternoon. This has become her habit.
"Thank you, Xiao Zhu." Lin Yan smiled and nodded. Xiao Zhu was her assistant and also a junior of her and Song Yuanchao. She graduated from Imperial University two years ago and was from Shanghai.
Xiao Zhu's home is near the old city, where the housing conditions are very poor, and his family is just an ordinary family. Although today's college students are not as popular as Lin Yan and Song Yuanchao were in the past, a university diploma is still very valuable. As a famous domestic university, it stands to reason that Imperial University of Peking can be assigned to a better unit after graduation.
Unfortunately, Xiao Zhu's luck was really bad, or it could be said that the luck of her class was not very good. For some reasons, the unit she was assigned to was not ideal. In addition, due to the conditions at home, Xiao Zhu did not want to report to the assigned unit and get a fixed salary of less than 100 yuan a month to make ends meet. It happened that an advertising company was recruiting at that time. Xiao Zhu saw the recruitment advertisement, submitted her resume, and after the interview, she was hired to work in the advertising company.
Xiao Zhu is not pretty. She has short hair and a somewhat androgynous appearance, but she is capable and achieved results soon after joining the company. Once, Lin Yan was in charge of a project herself. During the work, she discovered that Xiao Zhu was a rare talent. In addition, she and Lin Yan were alumni and junior schoolmates. After observation, she transferred her to her side and made her her assistant.
After putting down the coffee, Xiao Zhu did not leave, but stood there and reported today's work arrangements to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan was looking at some documents that had not been processed yesterday while listening to Xiao Zhu's report. She nodded slightly from time to time and at the same time wrote replies to the documents in her hand.
"By the way, how is the progress of the last advertisement going?" Putting down the pen in her hand, Lin Yan looked up and asked Xiao Zhu.
"You mean the advertisement for Pinlan Company?"
"Yes! This is the one!" Lin Yan nodded.
Xiao Zhu replied: "The advertising plan has been completed. The business department has communicated with Pinlan Company a few days ago. The other party is very satisfied with our advertising plan. Now we have entered the substantive post-production work. The next step is to confirm the shooting and production of the advertisement..."
At this point, Xiao Zhu hesitated and continued, "But as far as I know, the other party has some objections to the candidates submitted by the planning department to the client, and we are still in the process of communication..."
"Who will be the photographer?" Lin Yan interrupted Xiao Zhu and asked, "During the last regular meeting, I remember that the photographer had already been decided, and the other party also agreed. Why is there an objection now?"
"It's like this, Mr. Lin." Xiao Zhu explained, "The other party approved of the previous candidate, but when the specific plan was being finalized, Pinlan delayed the signing for a while because of them. Now that the plan has been finalized, the original candidate cannot be scheduled, so we have to change the person."
"The original candidate has other filming work?"
"Yes, Mr. Luo's crew has already started, and there is a conflict in schedule." Xiao Zhu replied.
Lin Yan understood. According to the original plan, there would be no problem with this matter. However, due to the Party A's reasons, the plan was finalized one month later than originally planned. It happened that Luo Yang started a new drama, and the male actor who had originally agreed to shoot this advertisement had a major role in Luo Yang's new drama, which caused a time conflict.
This matter can't be blamed on the company, the planning department, or the business department. It's all the fault of Party A. But then again, when doing business, especially advertising companies, they can't shirk responsibility for this situation. After all, they rely on Party A for their livelihood, so they can't blame Party A, right?
Generally, when this happens, we just need to communicate with Party A, explain the situation, suggest a replacement, and re-determine a new candidate. If the other party insists on the previous candidate, then we can only adjust the time and make another arrangement after the other party completes his work on the crew.
But from what Xiao Zhu reported, Pinlan clearly wanted to finish the advertisement as soon as possible, because it was related to the synchronization of Pinlan's product launch and market sales. So it was impossible to continue waiting for the original candidate to be rescheduled, so the only way was to change the candidate, but now Pinlan was not satisfied with the backup candidate proposed by the advertising company, which made it difficult to deal with.
After a moment's silence, Lin Yan asked Xiao Zhu to call the heads , and asked them to bring specific plan materials about the advertisement. She wanted to take a look at the materials first, ask about the situation clearly, and then decide how to deal with the matter next.
More than ten minutes later, in Lin Yan's office, Lin Yan was looking through the documents brought by her subordinates, and at the same time listening to the detailed reports of the two department heads on the matter. After they finished their reports, Lin Yan had a general idea in her mind.
