Chapter 364 Competition
"Minister Huang, this is the plan for this year's welcome party. Please take a look at it."
Huang Zifei took it and took a look, then frowned.
"Why is the cost of this year's party so high? It's about twice as much as last year."
Liu Qiang, who gave her the plan, scratched his head in embarrassment.
"This year is the 114th anniversary of the school. President Jin said that it must be celebrated in a grand manner. It's not just you in the External Relations Department who are working hard. Everyone is busy."
Huang Zifei sighed.
114th anniversary is not even an integer, so what special meaning can it have?
It can't be a dial-up number service.
She didn't believe this reason.
I heard that the student union president Jin Shuhong has been trying to get a guaranteed place in graduate school recently. This party was so beautiful, I wonder which school leader he was trying to please...
"Thank you for your hard work, Minister Huang." Seeing that Huang Zifei didn't say anything, Liu Qiang quickly left, fearing that Huang Zifei would return the plan to him.
Huang Zifei did not make things difficult for him. She also understood that this task was assigned by the higher-ups. There was no point in getting angry with Liu Qiang, as his kind of middle-level work was the most difficult to do.
Huang Zifei looked down at the amount on the plan again and frowned.
With such a huge amount of money, where can she get sponsorship? Just sell her off.
…
"I joined the External Relations Department and just received the message. What about you?" After class, Lin Wanzhou found Xu Cheng and asked him curiously.
Xu Cheng nodded.
"I'm going in, too."
He was also quite surprised. He didn't expect that after making a scene at the recruitment site, he could successfully join the student union.
This student union must be so short of people...
"We were also notified to go to classroom 233 for a department meeting after the last class today. Do you want to go?" Lin Wanzhou looked at Xu Cheng with some concern. "I don't think we need to care about that person. If he is targeting you, then we can just quit the club."
Xu Cheng smiled.
"It's okay. Even if he doesn't target me, I will target him."
Lin Wanzhou thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. She bit her lip with her canine teeth and said, "That's right. I've been really confused recently. I'm actually worried about you."
"It means you like me more and more."
Xu Cheng tried to hug the girl, but she pushed him away embarrassedly.
"Mud wins."
"Who, who likes you?"
"Fool, only a fool would like you..."
Xu Cheng stared at Lin Wanzhou with wide eyes, "Don't say that about yourself, Lin Wanzhou."
The girl's face became redder as he looked at her. Finally, she couldn't stand his gaze anymore and rubbed her face against his chest with her red face. She bit his chest twice with her little tiger teeth without mercy.
"hateful."
"Call me you're stupid!"
"Hurry up and tell me!"
"I'll tell you..." Xu Cheng looked around embarrassedly and found that no one in the corridor was paying attention to them, so he spoke.
"You're stupid."
"Who told you to say that?"
"You." Xu Cheng looked innocent.
The girl raised her little hands and punched him twice.
"You annoying bastard!"
Time flies.
In a blink of an eye, the last English class ended on time, and the English teacher left the classroom in a hurry without delaying the class for even a minute.
Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou went to the activity classroom of the External Relations Department together.
Here, they saw their class acquaintance Tian Xiaoyu again.
Tian Xiaoyu's social skills were indeed good. At this time, she was already calling "Senior" one by one in the classroom in a crisp voice.
Lin Wanzhou and Xu Cheng found a seat and sat down, then quietly moved closer to Xu Cheng's head.
"Did you find out?"
"What did you find?"
Seeing Xu Cheng's dull look, Lin Wanzhou shook her head, thinking that men really have no guard. In the future, she should help Xu Cheng to be more cautious.
“Look at Tian Xiaoyu. There are so many senior girls here, but she only plays with seniors.”
Xu Cheng took a look and found that it was true.
But he thought that if Tian Xiaoyu called out to the senior schoolmates in a coquettish manner, the senior schoolmates would probably feel a chill down their spine.
"It seems that they understand their own advantages and who their target audiences are."
While the two were talking, Li Zhengdong appeared. He slowly walked up to the podium and glanced down. His eyes noticed Xu Cheng and stayed on him for a second. Xu Cheng was not afraid of him and just stared at him straight.
Many people knew Li Zhengdong. After all, Li Zhengdong was involved in the interview, and that embarrassing incident happened there. Thinking of this, many eyes turned to Xu Cheng, and there were also small discussions.
Isn’t that boy the troublemaker who contradicted Li Zhengdong yesterday?
He was able to join the External Relations Department!
Most people didn't pay much attention to this matter, only a small number of people found it quite intriguing.
After a while, Huang Zifei and Shi Xiaoqing also arrived. Shi Xiaoqing called out the names first, and then Huang Zifei hosted the meeting and asked everyone to introduce themselves to each other so that they could get to know each other.
“I believe that many people have already had a certain degree of understanding of our work before joining our External Relations Department. The work of our External Relations Department is relatively special compared to the work of other departments. We need to provide materials for major activities organized by the Student Union to ensure the perfection and implementation of the activities.”
"In the coming period, our department will have a lot of work to do because we need to prepare for the welcome party, and every member of our external relations department needs to complete a certain share of the sponsorship task."
There was a sudden uproar in the audience.
"We are just freshmen, where can we get sponsorship?"
"It's impossible to complete it, Senior."
"Yeah, I've rarely been out of school, I'm unfamiliar with the place, what can I do?"
Everyone complained about this and felt that the task was somewhat difficult to accomplish.
Huang Zifei explained that everyone could complete this task together, that is, ask senior students for help.
This is also the consistent tradition of the External Relations Department.
The old class leads the new class, and while the old class leads the new class to complete the targets, they can also share the resources at their disposal with the new class. In this way, the External Relations Department can continue to operate normally in the hands of successive classes of students.
After a simple assignment, the two freshmen, Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou, were assigned to Deputy Minister Shi Xiaoqing.
"It's okay as long as I'm not with that Li Zhengdong. He's annoying just looking at him." Lin Wanzhou complained quietly to Xu Cheng, then waved to Shi Xiaoqing and greeted her politely.
"Hello, Senior."
"Oh, hello."
"Senior, what major are you in?"
"Business Administration, as I recall you two are too?"
“So they are from the same department.”
As they were chatting, Li Zhengdong came over again. He first glanced at Xu Cheng. Although he felt very unhappy, he didn't dare to provoke him when he thought of what happened yesterday.
Just smiled at Shi Xiaoqing.
"Minister Shi."
"Oh, Minister Li, what's wrong? Is there anything?"
"nothing."
Li Zhengdong shook his head, squinting his eyes and smiling kindly.
"I want to ask, how about this sponsorship mission? Do you want me to help you share some of the burden?"
Li Zhengdong seemed very enthusiastic when he said this, but Shi Xiaoqing felt very uncomfortable when she heard it.
Li Zhengdong is a native of Shanghai and has a relative who runs a shop near the school. Before he became deputy minister, he always raised the most sponsorship in the External Relations Department.
As the deputy minister, she seemed a little embarrassed and could only barely meet the targets each time.
Fortunately, another deputy minister resigned from the association, leaving a vacant position. Otherwise, according to Li Zhengdong's opinion at the time, he would have wanted to replace her as deputy minister.
At this time, Li Zhengdong came up to her again and said the same words to her.
They are all deputy ministers. Doesn't this show that she is not capable enough and cannot get as much sponsorship as Li Zhengdong?
"No need, I don't think it should be a big problem." Although Shi Xiaoqing was unhappy, she still smiled politely and waved her hand.
Li Zhengdong couldn't control his mouth at this time. He glanced at and sneered secretly.
"Isn't there an extra burden this time? What if it drags you down? If you need any help, don't be shy. Just ask. We are all in the same department."
His words frightened Shi Xiaoqing.
Everyone knows that there is a troublemaker, and you still dare to say this. Aren't you just trying to create chaos in the world?
At this time, Xu Cheng was too lazy to laugh with him anymore and looked carefree.
"burden?"
"Why, are you good at soliciting sponsorship?"
Li Zhengdong curled his lips. He was still afraid of a head-on confrontation with Xu Cheng, so he took a few steps back and said sarcastically in order to maintain his face as deputy minister.
"At least more than some people would."
Huang Zifei was right next to them, paying attention to what was going on here. When he saw that they were indeed getting into a commotion, he hurried over and stood between the two of them.
"We are all from the same department, so let's talk it out."
"Minister, it's not that I don't give you face, it's that someone took the initiative to come up and cause trouble." Xu Cheng said.
As a veteran gangster, Xu Cheng neither causes trouble nor is he afraid of trouble.
"I don't know why we keep people like this in the student union. He is simply a bad apple, making the student union a mess."
When Li Zhengdong heard Xu Cheng say that he was a bad apple, he got angry.
"I am the rat's shit? The External Relations Department sponsors me every year. Ask me who can shit more than me?"
What he said was very unprofessional, almost scolding Huang Zifei, Shi Xiaoqing, and the old people in the External Relations Department, pointing at them and saying that they were not as good as him.
But Li Zhengdong doesn't care too much about these.
With his ability, even the student union president has to give him some face. Can the External Relations Department leave him now?
If Huang Zifei doesn't curry favor with him, will she be able to keep her position as minister?
"Minister Li, since you can pull off such a thing, I think there's no need to publicize it so loudly. It doesn't seem very glorious." Xu Cheng said with a smile.
When the people around heard Xu Cheng's words, they couldn't help laughing and quickly covered their mouths with their hands.
Li Zhengdong became anxious, and pointed at Xu Cheng with a red face and heavy breathing.
"Just wait, if you fail to meet the sponsorship target this time, don't blame me for asking you to get out of the External Relations Department."
"OK!"
Xu Cheng agreed immediately. "It's too easy to get my own quota. Why don't you have a competition with me, Minister Li? Whoever gets more sponsorship will be kicked out of the External Relations Department. How do you think?"
Xu Cheng's words were shocking, and the people around him covered their mouths in amazement, wondering if this freshman was crazy and how could he say such a thing.
He is a freshman and has no resources. How can he compare with Li Zhengdong, who attracts the most sponsorship every year?
"Student Xu, don't be angry about this matter..."
Shi Xiaoqing pulled Xu Cheng's arm to persuade him, but Xu Cheng shook it off and stared at Li Zhengdong with a serious face.
"What do you think, Minister Li, do you dare to compete with me, a freshman?"
Li Zhengdong was afraid that he would go back on his word.
In his eyes, Xu Cheng was a completely ignorant person who didn't know how high the heavens were and how difficult it was to beg for sponsorship.
"Okay, don't say I'm bullying you. If you can pull half of mine, I'll let you win."
"OK."
Xu Cheng glanced at Huang Zifei beside him.
"Minister Huang, you don't need to bother mediating the conflict between Minister Li and me. Today, you will be a witness. Whoever raises less sponsorship this time will voluntarily withdraw from the External Relations Department to avoid further trouble."
A look of struggle appeared on Huang Zifei's face. He looked at the two of them and sighed.
"Alas, I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Okay, this time I'll see who can get more sponsorship. However, once the other party withdraws from the External Relations Department, you two must not take any revengeful actions in the future."
"It's a deal."
"good."
The two sides exchanged harsh words, and the matter came to an end. Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou left classroom 233 together.
Lin Wanzhou crossed his arms and asked, "What new ideas do you have?"
"What do you mean by evil idea?" Xu Cheng seemed to be wronged.
"I don't know you yet, where are you going to get sponsorship from?"
"Qingzhou is going to develop in the Magic City..." Xu Cheng said.
Before today, Xu Cheng already had this idea.
Qingzhou's two projects, Hapi.com and Weibo, are becoming more and more popular and naturally require more human resources support.
The students of Jiaotong University are definitely the best among college students.
If Qingzhou can increase its popularity among college students, it will surely attract more fresh blood.
September is here, which is also the hottest period for campus recruitment every year.
Before this, Xu Cheng had been looking for a suitable opportunity.
It was not until today, when Huang Zifei proposed the welcome party, that he came up with the idea of making Qingzhou the exclusive sponsor of the party.
It not only makes Qingzhou's presence felt to the senior students who come to watch.
on the other hand……
Just imagine, if you were a freshman in this year’s college and had been hearing about Qingzhou since you first entered the university, and then gradually came to understand Qingzhou’s philosophy and products, then during the career-hunting stage in your senior year, would you have any thoughts about Qingzhou, or any yearning for it?
And most importantly.
With Qingzhou's investment, he could also give Li Zhengdong a hard slap in the face and get him out of the External Relations Department.
When Xu Cheng thought of his miserable end, he felt that the money was totally worth it...
