Fang Changan smiled, but did not insist, and said, "Then I will consider it again."

He then went to another design company, and this time they agreed. However, when Fang Changan wanted to see their previous design works, he was immediately disappointed. There were only two paintings, and they were full of inferior quality, and they gradually felt like a "bargain".

In fact, even now, even earlier, Chinese character logo designs have never lacked fine products. The Peking University emblem designed by Lu Xun, Shanghai permanent bicycles, China Railway, Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, etc. are all amazing works.

When the logo was in trouble, Fang Changan received another bad news after returning to the company: the application for listing "Fruit Ninja" was rejected by the Apple App Store on the grounds that it did not comply with the specifications.

However, there are suggestions for modification, and Zhong Cheng is currently leading the modification.

He didn't have to worry about this. Fang Chang'an asked Song Changyi to continue to contact other design companies first, while he tried to recall it himself, trying to find people or companies about Chinese character design from his memory, but there was no result.

Later generations, there was a very popular Chinese character logo design in various provinces and cities. The designer seemed to be Shi Changhong, but it was not the style he wanted.

Both logos should be printed directly on the mobile phone, so they should be simple, exquisite, and modern, so that they can make people shine after seeing them, and they can immediately recognize them as "poetry" and "ci". Otherwise, the changes will be too big and people cannot recognize them, and then they will lose their original meaning.

Fang Chang'an's current plan is to use traditional Chinese "poems" and "words" as the basis for visual design. This is Song Mei's suggestion, because the small seal script he originally wanted to use was too complex, not simple enough, and not easy to identify.

As for simplified Chinese characters, there is less feeling next to Yan characters. I always feel that the left side is a little "light", and it is not easy to reflect the "cube" feeling of Chinese characters.

More importantly, in calligraphy, if you want to surpass the ancients, you can only be a fool in the visible future. The ancients did not write simplified Chinese characters. Overall, traditional Chinese is more suitable.

Nowadays, the resources on the Internet are not rich enough. Fang Chang'an has spent a lot of effort and cannot find the resources he wants. So he drove away from the company himself and ran to the city library. He brought Ou Yan, Liu and Zhao all the books posted by everyone, and found the word "poetry" he wanted in the four words "Poetry Praise the Lamb" in the thousand-character text.

It is also easier to find the word "安" from other families, because most of the famous artists have "Thousand Characters" passed down from generation to generation.

It is difficult to find the word "ci". Fang Chang'an is not a professional, and he has forgotten almost all the calligraphy practices before. It took two days to find the word "word" in Ouyang Xun's "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Inscription", Yan Zhenqing's "Qinli Stele", Liu Gongquan's "Xuanmi Pagoda Stele", and Zhao Mengfu's "Reconstruction of the Three Gates of Xuanmiaoguan" respectively.

Among them, he loved Yan style with the word "王", but Ou style with the word "王", which was a little embarrassed for a while. Because the styles were obviously different, he borrowed both copies and asked a few girls to help judge. He took photos and sent them to Song Mei for help.

Among the girls, Shen Mo has the best aesthetic taste. After all, he has studied art since elementary school and has been influenced by his family, but he is completely unprofessional and cannot be said.

Song Mei called and reminded: "If you want to use Chinese characters to design logos, you may do some processing, so I think you don't have to be completely limited when choosing fonts. For example, if you like the word "word" you like the European style, maybe because it is simpler and more inclined to the finished style you want, but the main part of other fonts may be more suitable, so try it more."

She has actually designed this aspect, but the finished product has always been poor. The only thing that is quite eye-catching is that she has designed the vertical pen as a "brush" and turned into ink. The design feels good, but it is not simple and exquisite enough, and it is not suitable for printing on mobile phones.

These two logos are very important. After understanding them clearly, Song Mei knew it was difficult to bear it and had already refused to Fang Chang'an. However, when encountering such a matter, Fang Chang'an mentioned it to her and would also raise her ideas without reservation.

What Song Mei said makes sense, but it is still far from the finished product. What Fang Changan is most worried about is that there is currently no better design company in China in this regard. Preparations need to be made second-hand preparations. You can find teachers or some well-known designers in domestic design schools.

He couldn't be anxious, and he had no better way, and it was useless to be anxious. Fortunately, he had some experience in his previous life and would not be too panic. He should do whatever he should do.

A few girls interviewed for a few days, and two were more suitable. One was a mobile sales shopping guide in a mobile business hall, with a basic salary of 1,400 and a sales commission. The other was KFC, which cost seven yuan per hour, but the two companies added up to only four people.

After discussing, they decided to split four people to go to work in the real estate company that Shen Chengli had contacted in advance, and the other two went to buy mobile phones. KFC was eliminated because the business hall was diagonally opposite the real estate company, and KFC was a bit far away.

After confirming, eight people had breakfast the next morning, and then Fang Chang'an drove Liu Feng away. Six girls took the subway to work. After leaving the subway, they had to walk a while, which was considered as experiencing work and life in advance.

After lunch, Song Changyi acted as a driver to take Fang Chang'an and Tang Zhaoyu to a nearby cafe. Here, a colleague of Tang Zhaoyu's early years was waiting, named Cheng Yuanrong, who is currently working in the Motorola mobile phone department and is the second hardware-related person that Fang Chang'an has contacted.

The previous one was introduced by principal Zhang Junhui, and the other party expressed his intention to consider it. Judging from the situation at that time, it might not be a refusal, but obviously he did not make up his mind, or just regarded this place as an alternative.

"Cheng Yuanrong is a few years younger than me, has a stronger personality, loves face, and likes to listen to flattery. I forgot that I graduated from the United States. Anyway, I went to Motorola after graduation. I returned to China in 1997 and came to Panda. In 1999, Motorola set up a research center in China. His former colleagues came to him and returned to Motorola and started making hardware."

"I had a good relationship with him before, maybe because I'm more honest, he loves face, talks more, and I talk less..."

Tang Zhaoyu smiled self-deprecatingly and continued: "After starting my own business, I had contact with him one after another because of some business matters. He wanted to compete for the chief engineer of the R&D center, but he never snatched it, and he fought for the director of the hardware department, but he never snatched it - they were all the same people."

"He is a man who speaks and is rushing, and he must have made enemies with others. After he gets the position, his life will not be very good... I met him once this year. I heard that he wanted to change the place, but he has not found a suitable next home yet. Although he has not left yet, the situation in the company should be even less optimistic, otherwise with his personality, it would not be so easy to agree to meet."

Fang Chang'an nodded and took these one by one in his heart.

The car quickly stopped in front of the cafe. Song Changyi found a seat by herself. Fang Changan followed Tang Zhaoyu in. Tang Zhaoyu glanced inside, pointed to a middle-aged man sitting in the corner, nodded slightly, indicating that this was Cheng Yuanrong. Then he fell behind two steps and walked behind Fang Changan.

Cheng Yuanrong looks about 40 years old, with a round face, a buzz cut, medium-sized figure, and a bit fat. He supports the elegant gray-blue shirt with a rather "round" line. He sits alone at the table and looks out the window, and looks obviously worried.

When Fang Chang'an and Tang Zhaoyu approached, he also turned his head and saw Fang Chang'an first. Then he saw Tang Zhaoyu behind him. He stood up and nodded to Tang Zhaoyu, but his eyes looked at Fang Chang'an with a obviously a little surprised expression. He obviously didn't expect that he was so young.

"My current boss, Fang Chang'an."

Tang Zhaoyu introduced on behalf of him that although Cheng Yuanrong was surprised and probably thought it was unreliable, he did not show it. He greeted him politely: "Mr. Fang is good."

He hurriedly said, "Sit, sit, sit first."

Fang Chang'an smiled and said, "Don't be polite, just call me my name. You are older than me, so I'll call you 'Brother Cheng'."

There were already waiters standing next to them. Fang Chang'an and Tang Zhaoyu ordered a cup of coffee and exchanged a few greetings. Tang Zhaoyu was helping to get to the point.

Cheng Yuanrong's actual situation is even more embarrassing than Tang Zhaoyu said. He is eager to get out of here, but he is unwilling to surrender easily - at least he has to save his income. The steps given by Fang Chang'an at this time are very "urgent". After learning that it was paid for wages rather than so-called entrepreneurial shares, he was already moved.

However, after seeing Fang Chang'an, he was a little hesitant, wondering how long this company could last and not be able to hold on for another year. He had to find a job again, so it would be better to go here. It was a bit frustrating, but the salary he received was real.

Tang Zhaoyu acted as the "supporter" again and briefly said Fang Chang'an's "great achievements". Fang Chang'an said a few humble words, mainly talking about future plans. While he was talking, he suddenly heard someone say behind him: "President Cheng, where are you friends here?"

Fang Changan turned his head and saw two middle-aged men, who were in their thirties and the white man in his forties and was next to him, and he also smiled and spoke to Tang Zhaoyu, but in English, saying: "What a coincidence?"

Cheng Yuanrong's expression was not very good, but he still squeezed out a smile and stood up to respond. He also spoke English, but ignored the person next to him. The two of them didn't stay for too long and quickly turned to the other side.

"Is this?" Tang Zhaoyu had some guesses in his heart, but he tried hard to pretend to be very calm.

"colleague."

Cheng Yuanrong tried hard to squeeze out a smile and said, "It's okay, let's talk about our... Mr. Fang, please continue."

Fang Changan also smiled, pretending that nothing happened, and chatted for a few more words. He obviously felt that Cheng Yuanrong was at first uneasy, and then his attitude became more serious. At first, he wanted to raise the price, but then there was no edges.

"The foreigner is probably the person in charge of Motorola here..."

On the way back, Tang Zhaoyu smiled and said, "Old Cheng was humiliated."

Fang Changan laughed and said, "As long as we don't suspect that it was what we did."

"That won't be. We don't know each other, and we have to cooperate in the future, and there is no need to do such things."

Tang Zhaoyu let out a sigh of relief, looking a little confident, "Although Lao Cheng has many shortcomings, he is not a fool. If this happens, he has no other choice."

Tang Zhaoyu's guess was good, and Cheng Yuanrong knew this very well. It was not easy for Chinese people to move upward in foreign-funded enterprises. Even in China's branches, important positions are all foreigners.

He knew that he had a bad temper and could only show off his skills. He estimated that he could reach the highest position, namely the chief engineer and the president of the hardware department. He wanted to work in this position for a few years first, and use this as a springboard to make a fortune, but he was intercepted. He was squeezed out this year, and this incident happened again today, so he would definitely not be able to stay.

“cheng——”

He replied to Fang Chang'an the next day, and another day later, he resigned. He heard the news. He thought he would sarcastically sarcasticly at him, the current president of the hardware department, named Zhou Guangping, but he didn't say anything. He just came to say hello and said, "I have a colleague and drink together when I have time in the future." He stayed on the front line.

On the contrary, when he resigned, the international friends in charge of the hardware department from the other side changed their usual calm attitude, their tone was obviously cold and even a bit sarcastic, and said in English: "I know you are dissatisfied with Zhou being appointed as the president of the hardware department rather than you, but this is the decision of the head office, and you should obey!"

"It is very undecent and immoral to do things like this. I can even sue you..."

Cheng Yuanrong took a secret breath and was about to explain a little, but the other party waved his hand, then knocked on the table, signaling him to put down his resignation report, "You can leave. On behalf of the company, I would like to thank you for your contribution to the company over the years. I hope we have a chance to meet again."

The last tone of hope to see each other is to say, "You will no longer be qualified to appear in front of me."

...

Cheng Yuanrong, who was full of anger, left the company without saying goodbye to the party, and few people even expressed their farewell to him. This was related to the conflict between him and Zhou Guangping, but it also reflected his usual popularity to some extent.

He tried to comfort himself that he had resigned instead of being fired but did not have much effect, but did not choose to go home. He sat in the car and smoked three cigarettes, then drove downstairs of the new company and called the new boss: "Mr. Fang, I want to join the company now, is it convenient?"

There was a clear stunned moment, then laughed, the young boy who was a little too young and warm and gentle voice: "Welcome anytime."
