After the divorce, I became a mountain god

To be honest, Tang Muyang had done several advertisements for Zhou Mengqi's company during this period, but none of them satisfied Zhou Mengqi. This greatly damaged Tang Muyang's confidence, so the advertisements he did later were worse than the last.

This doesn't necessarily mean Tang Muyang lacks ability. Firstly, Tang Muyang is not a seasoned professional and his experience is relatively limited. Secondly, Tang Muyang, like Zhou Mengqi, is eager to prove his abilities and is indeed a bit impatient. Also, Zhou Mengqi, the young female boss, is simply too demanding.

Upon hearing Zhou Mengqi's words, Tang Muyang's nascent hope was completely extinguished, causing him to seriously question his own professional competence.

Although Tang Muyang knew that running a company was not an easy task, he was still quite confident in his professional knowledge.

In other major cities, Tang Muyang wouldn't be able to give himself a very high evaluation, but in a third- or fourth-tier city like Dongjiang, Tang Muyang, a college graduate from a prestigious university, should be considered to have a decent level of professional expertise.

However, since taking over the advertising creation for Zhou Mengqi's company, Tang Muyang has developed deep doubts about his own professional level in advertising design.

Is it really because I'm just not good enough? Am I simply not cut out for advertising design? Have all those clients been praising me lately just because of my cousin, Xu Bo'an?
While it's true that having connections and a background is always beneficial in any industry, some people with high aspirations still want to prove their own abilities rather than relying solely on others!

Tang Muyang is a very pragmatic and hardworking person. He just needs a platform and wants to prove his strength through his own efforts, rather than being a parasite who relies on others for everything.

The more Tang Muyang thought about it, the more sorrowful he became, to the point that an indescribable expression of pain unconsciously appeared on his face.

This made Xu Bo'an, who was standing to the side, feel a little sorry for him. Xu Bo'an was not short of money now and had some small businesses of his own to run, so he would not be discouraged by someone like Zhou Mengqi. However, if he put himself in Tang Muyang's shoes, Xu Bo'an would definitely be just as discouraged as Tang Muyang.

Xu Bo'an couldn't bear to see his cousin like this, so he said to Zhou Mengqi, "If you ask me, it would have been much better if your company had just set the theme of 'True Self, Boundless Beauty' for this advertisement. Why can't you understand that?"

Xu Bo'an then elaborated on the theme of the advertisement with a series of touching stories, attempting to use these stories to show how women of different ages and backgrounds can bravely be themselves and unleash their unique charm after using Meiyan Shijia's products.

As Xu Bo'an told these stories, Zhou Mengqi listened with great interest. Although more than fifteen minutes had passed, Zhou Mengqi did not intend to interrupt.

Of course, the stories Xu Bo'an told were just touching tales he had read in books on this subject, which he simply applied to this situation. As for the trial results of Zhou Mengqi's company's products before sales, that would require them to conduct their own on-site research.

After telling these stories, Xu Bo'an then said to Zhou Mengqi, "President Zhou, I understand that you want Meiyan Shijia to maintain a high-end image while remaining approachable to the general public. However, high-end doesn't mean aloof, and being down-to-earth doesn't mean lowering quality. The original intention of our advertising design should be to convey a set of values, not just sophisticated-sounding language. We want consumers to feel that Meiyan Shijia is not just a cosmetics brand, but also a partner in their pursuit of their true selves!" After listening to Xu Bo'an's words, Zhou Mengqi first nodded in agreement, then said, "This proposal does sound quite good. We've adopted it, and we hope you can further refine it!"

Tang Muyang was stunned when he heard Xu Bo'an's proposal. He said to Xu Bo'an, "Brother, isn't this the first advertisement our company created for Meiyan Shijia? It just doesn't have the stories you told me!"

Xu Bo'an said, "Yes, that's right! It was the first advertising plan you provided to them."

Then Xu Bo'an said to Zhou Mengqi, "I knew it! How could my cousin's dozens of ads not get approved? It's just that you guys don't know how to appreciate them!"

Zhou Mengqi said, "I did receive this advertisement before, but although your slogan hasn't changed, the story content isn't as relevant as you described, so it's understandable that it was rejected!"

Xu Bo'an said to Zhou Mengqi, "For the same sentence, ten thousand people will have ten thousand different interpretations. If you were satisfied with this advertising slogan when you first saw it, why didn't you express your thoughts in time so that my cousin could combine your true feelings to create a more accurate story behind the advertisement? Why did you have to overturn it and then create so much trouble for both of us?"

After hearing what Xu Bo'an said, Zhou Mengqi, if she thought about it rationally, would actually agree. However, when faced with someone directly pointing out one's mistakes, most people would never take the blame upon themselves. Zhou Mengqi was no exception. She said to Xu Bo'an, "You need to understand our respective positions, okay? I'm the client, and you're the service provider. I'm only responsible for assigning tasks to you. If there's anything you do that I'm not satisfied with, I have the right to refuse. Do you understand?"

After hearing Zhou Mengqi's words, Xu Bo'an felt that she was so stubborn that she was incomprehensible. He said to her, "Yes, you are the superior party, but if you have ideas and thoughts, you should communicate with the service provider, right? Only by communicating more can we save time for both parties!"

Zhou Mengqi stubbornly insisted, "You're the service provider, so of course you're speaking from the service provider's perspective. If you were the client, you wouldn't say that!"

How could there be such a conflicted woman in the world? Xu Bo'an really didn't want to say anything more to Zhou Mengqi, feeling that saying another word to her would be a waste of time and life.

He turned to Tang Muyang beside him and said, "Muyang, let's go!"

Tang Muyang originally wanted to confirm whether the plan would be approved, but under Xu Bo'an's persistent urging, he didn't ask. (End of Chapter)
