Rebirth 04: Starting from Taking an Unconventional Approach

Fang Jing changed her sitting posture, crossing her left leg over her right, and took a file folder from her handbag and handed it to Han Fei.

"Take a look at this first."

Han Fei took out the documents inside. The first document was titled "Letter of Recognition for Granting Qingniao Publishing House the Qualification of 'Strategic Innovation Pilot'", and the header featured a mobile blue-green logo. Han Fei silently read the main text of the document.

Following review and approval by the headquarters' strategic committee, Qingniao Publishing House is hereby designated as a "Strategic Innovation Pilot Unit" for Mobile Dream Network's content-based SP business. This qualification is valid for three months and may be renewed upon expiration.

During the pilot period, Qingniao Publishing House received the following support:

1. Prioritize access to SP service channels in various provinces

2. User profiling system interface authorization (provincial level)

3. Official recommendation slots and premium content tags

4. Direct communication channel between the Mobile Headquarters Strategic Development Department and the Mobile Headquarters

The document was stamped with the official seal of the China Mobile headquarters and a handwritten signature: Liu Zhenhua.

The two documents below are the "Green Channel Access Authorization Letter" and the "User Profile Interface Access Agreement".

The last document is the "Letter of Intent for Pilot Program of Content-Based SP Business in Guangdong and Zhejiang Provinces by China Mobile Branches".

Guangdong Mobile: Agreed to be one of the first cross-provincial pilot units for Qingniao Reading, and plans to open up a local active number pool of 200 million per month to conduct province-specific targeted push tests.

Zhejiang Mobile: Agreed to be one of the first cross-provincial pilot units for Qingniao Reading, and plans to open up a local active number pool of 150 million per month to conduct province-specific targeted push tests.

The document bears the official seals of two branch offices in the lower right corner, along with two handwritten signatures: Wang Hongxin and Sun Weimin.

Han Fei put the documents back in the file folder, looked up at Fang Jing, and said, "President Fang, I know how important these documents are. But I have a question."

"you say."

"Whose decision should we make regarding the timing of each step?"

"you guess."

Han Fei cleared his throat: "Listen to me?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Fang Jing said with a smile. "This time, Tencent's reaction was indeed faster than we expected. President Liu also took this into consideration, which is why he decided to let you control the pace yourself. So, President Han, whether the new weapon we've given you will become a catalyst for Tencent's accelerated entry, a protective umbrella, or a fog we've woven for you, causing them to waste their most precious time in repeated probing, depends on how you use it. That will be the real test."

Han Fei nodded slowly: "I understand, President Fang. Then we will temporarily refrain from launching official recommendation slots, premium content labels, and pilot programs in other provinces—projects that might expose our weaknesses. Instead, we will continue to quietly accelerate progress using existing resources such as headquarters endorsement, green channels, and the local phone number pool in Shanghai. We will sign authors, stockpile manuscripts, strengthen the system, and increase revenue. We will gradually release all support when the time is right."

"I'm relieved to have a plan," Fang Jing said, standing up. "The coordination with the technical team should be completed in the next couple of days. I'll go to the Shanghai branch to confirm with General Manager Zhang and get the local Shanghai number pool opened as soon as possible. For you, this is the most handy weapon you can get right now, isn't it?"

"Thank you, Mr. Fang. This weapon has indeed arrived just in time."

"The technical team will stay to observe for a while. My task is complete, so I won't be coming back." Fang Jing put on sunglasses, then took an envelope from her bag and handed it to Han Fei. "Inside is an internal dedicated line and a fax number, which serves as a direct communication channel for the Strategic Development Department. You can contact me via the dedicated line in case of emergency. Every two weeks, you should prepare a briefing and fax it over. If I think it's necessary after reviewing it, I will contact you by phone. In addition, I've also asked Zhou Ming to configure a dedicated email client on Qingniao's server. From now on, your daily technical reports, system upgrade plans, and data anomaly reports will all be sent to my email address through this client."

Han Fei put the envelope away and stood up: "Okay, Mr. Fang. It seems that our Qingniao has officially entered the strategic vision of headquarters from the local pilot stage."

At this moment, Zhang Ruiyi walked in, and Han Fei and Fang Jing turned to look at her at the same time.

"Uh..." Zhang Ruiyi said, "Are you talking about business? Or should I..."

"It's alright," Fang Jing said. "You're Mr. Zhang's daughter, right? The last time I saw you was at the post office staff party in 1994. You were just a little girl then, with two pigtails, performing a dance on stage. Your dad was sitting in the audience, looking so proud, he didn't even answer his phone when it rang. Time flies, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you're already designing covers for President Han and participating in such important projects."

Zhang Ruiyi looked at Fang Jing in surprise, then at Han Fei: "1994?"

"I'm leaving. Take care." Fang Jing gave a mischievous smile and left the office.

Zhang Ruiyi cast a questioning glance at Fang Jing's back, then turned around to face Han Fei and sat down in the chair opposite the desk.

"Why did she say the last time she saw me was in 1994? She's been seeing me all these past few days, hasn't she? I even poured her some water."

Han Fei laughed a few times: "In 1994, she should still be a young backbone of the postal and telecommunications system. Uncle Zhang was the deputy director of the publicity department of the postal and telecommunications bureau. If the two units held a joint party and you were performing on stage as a family member, it would be normal for her to have seen you before. It's just that the person who saw you a few days ago was a document specialist from the technical team. Now she is the director of the mobile strategic development department and it's the first time she's seen you in ten years."

"Huh? You mean... she's been pretending all this time? She's not a regular document specialist at all?"

"uh-huh."

"Oh my god, that's terrible."

Han Fei sat down and handed the file folder and envelope over the table to Zhang Ruiyi: "Just gave them to me."

Zhang Ruiyi opened it and looked at it: "Wow, so fast!"

"Hmm, how about you? How's the cover for the next issue of the magazine coming along?" Han Fei asked.

"The direction has been decided, and Teacher Zheng is preparing to start drawing."

"Were you in charge of the design?"

"Of course."

"Yes, I can't wait to see it."

"Oh, right," Zhang Ruiyi said, looking at Han Fei, "I have something to report to you."

"Reporting?" Han Fei asked. "What's the matter?"

Zhang Ruiyi chuckled: "Hmm... I might have to skip work for the whole morning tomorrow."

Why?

"Shuyan's school is rehearsing a welcome concert, and I promised to go. She just called me, and I couldn't refuse. It's Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2. Don't you like listening to these kinds of things too? Want to come along?"

Han Fei shook his head: "You go ahead. I'll pass. I'm planning to make time to visit Boss Zhou tomorrow morning, otherwise I'll be even busier in a couple of days and won't have time to go."

"Alright then, it just so happens I don't like going to Boss Zhou's place. I'll leave the car for you to drive. I promise I'll only go for a morning, and I'll be right back after I'm done."
