      How to multiply two Schubert polynomials is a notorious open problem in Schubert calculus. The author addresses the special case where a Schubert polynomial is multiplied by a Schur polynomial. His result is a (not very efficient but still beautiful) description of the expansion coefficients in this product as the number of pairs of an RC-graph as introduced by \textit{S. Fomin} and \textit{A. N. Kirillov} [Discrete Math. 153, 123-143 (1996; Zbl 0852.05078)] and a Young tableau, which have to be related in a certain way. The proof of this result is entirely based on the insertion algorithm for RC-graphs due to \textit{N. Bergeron} and \textit{S. Billey} [Exp. Math. 2, 257-269 (1993; Zbl 0803.05054)].
