Chapter 365 Amazing Cooperation
"Sister Shi, you came to me specially, is there something going on?"
After class, Xu Cheng went to the cafeteria and found Shi Xiaoqing who had been waiting for him there for a long time.
Shi Xiaoqing looked at Xu Cheng, who still looked relaxed, and was a little surprised. "Xiaodi Xu, why do you look so relaxed?"
"Today's classes are all over, so of course I feel relaxed, what else could I do?" Xu Cheng asked curiously.
Shi Xiaoqing frowned.
"I mean, didn't you make a bet with Li Zhengdong yesterday? Why don't you seem nervous at all?"
"This kind of thing." Xu Cheng couldn't tell Shi Xiaoqing, he was already confident of winning, so he said perfunctorily, "There's nothing I can do about being nervous. I've always been a person who goes with the flow."
"Then you just wait and see. No sponsorship will fall on your head!"
Shi Xiaoqing felt a little disappointed. She sighed and said, "There are a few bosses I'm familiar with. They all own shops near the school. Come with me to talk to them later."
"What?"
"Of course, we're talking about sponsorship!"
Shi Xiaoqing was a little angry. She originally wanted to give her sponsorship share to Xu Cheng. Although she didn't think Xu Cheng could beat Li Zhengdong, at least he wouldn't lose so badly.
But now seeing Xu Cheng's lack of ambition, Shi Xiaoqing regretted her sudden sympathy.
"Oh, then please wait for me, I'm going back to the dormitory to change clothes."
Feeling that Xu Cheng finally seemed to take it seriously, Shi Xiaoqing nodded.
"Well, hurry up and go. You should dress formally."
"ah?"
Xu Cheng was surprised, "Senior sister, how did you know that I was going to have dinner with someone tonight?"
"???"
Shi Xiaoqing then realized that the reason Xu Cheng changed his clothes was not to discuss sponsorship with her, but to... have dinner with others!
"I...I guessed." Shi Xiaoqing said unhappily.
This guy is so heartless. She came to help out of kindness, but now it seems like it was all in vain.
Xu Cheng returned to the dormitory and changed into a more formal suit. Shi Xiaoqing was not idle at this time either. She also returned to the dormitory and changed into a well-fitting black suit.
"This cool barber shop is our old sponsor. The owner is easy to talk to and gives us some sponsorship every year."
At the school gate, Shi Xiaoqing gave Xu Cheng a few instructions before taking him to the barber shop.
"Handsome men and beautiful women, would you like a haircut? We have a special offer here recently. Get a 20% discount for purchases over 100 yuan, and a 50% discount for purchases over 200 yuan..." As soon as we entered the door, Teacher Tony came up to us enthusiastically and introduced the business skillfully.
Shi Xiaoqing quickly waved her hand to make her intention clear.
"I'm sorry, we're not here to issue the card. Um... is the boss here?"
Teacher Tony took a closer look at Shi Xiaoqing and said, "Oh, you are the student from Jiaotong University, right?"
"Yes, it's me, brother." Shi Xiaoqing said very politely.
Teacher Tony thought for a moment and said, "The boss is not in the store right now. How about I give him a call? Or you sit here and wait for a while?"
"Okay brother, you go ahead and do your work, we'll wait for a while."
Shi Xiaoqing spoke politely, then pulled Xu Cheng to sit down in the waiting chair.
"The boss of this shop usually sponsors a few hundred dollars, and also gives you some discount cards for haircuts worth ten or twenty dollars, which can also be used as small gifts for the evening party. If this trip goes smoothly, at least five hundred dollars can be sponsored to you."
Shi Xiaoqing was originally very happy, but she saw that Xu Cheng didn't seem to have much interest on his face.
She thought about it and felt it was normal. After all, five hundred yuan seemed like a drop in the bucket for Li Zhengdong.
"Don't worry, classmate Xu. As long as you don't lose too badly this time, no one in the department will say anything bad about you. If things really don't work out in the future... just swallow your pride and apologize to Li Zhengdong."
"Should I apologize to him?"
Xu Cheng smiled and said, "Senior sister, you'd better stop joking."
Shi Xiaoqing sighed.
Why are these men so proud?
But what can you do if you don't give in? You can't really defeat Li Zhengdong.
Forget it, we all know each other, so if she can help in any way possible, that's fine.
Shi Xiaoqing thought so and leaned against the wall of the barber shop with her eyes closed. After a while, she fell asleep. When she woke up, a glaring light was on in front of her.
"???"
Shi Xiaoqing's body trembled, "What time is it?!"
Xu Cheng, who was playing with his phone on the other side, saw that she had woken up and looked at his watch. "It's already past seven o'clock."
"Seven o'clock!"
Shi Xiaoqing was surprised.
Didn’t Teacher Tony just say that they just needed to wait a moment? Why did she make them wait for so long? If this continued, then she wouldn’t be able to visit the next few stores she had planned.
Xu Cheng continued to talk at this time.
"It's already now, and the boss hasn't come yet. I have a dinner party later, so I'll go first..."
"Oh, why is your mind full of thoughts about eating?"
Not only did she not see the boss, but she also wasted time, so Shi Xiaoqing got upset and yelled at Xu Cheng.
"You don't even care about your own affairs, how can you expect others to help you?"
"oops."
She scratched her head in annoyance, picked up her bag and stood up.
"Forget it, forget it. I don't care about you anymore. You will be the one who embarrasses yourself anyway."
After saying that, he left Xu Cheng sitting alone in the barber shop and strode out.
The evening breeze was slightly cool, which made Shi Xiaoqing shiver and made her much more awake.
She thought about what had just happened and suddenly felt a little regretful, thinking that what she had just said to Xu Cheng seemed a little too much.
At this moment, a familiar male voice came from behind.
"Senior."
Shi Xiaoqing turned around and found Xu Cheng standing at the door of the store.
She thought about it, then turned around and prepared to go and apologize to Xu Cheng.
After all, no matter what, what she said just now seemed a bit too much.
As a result, Xu Cheng spoke first.
"Senior, it's so late, why don't you go eat with me."
After that, he added, "Oh, this dinner is about discussing sponsorship. I don't have much experience, so if you listen in, it might go more smoothly."
When Shi Xiaoqing heard this, she realized it was no wonder that Xu Cheng attached so much importance to this dinner. She originally thought it was a date, but it turned out to be a business discussion. So she had actually misunderstood Xu Cheng's attitude the whole afternoon.
"Junior, I'm sorry for what I said just now."
"Well, I didn't take it to heart. Senior, I'm still very grateful that you're thinking of helping me like this."
He looked down at his watch and said, "It's getting late now. We should hurry over there."
"good."
The two hailed a taxi on the roadside and went to the restaurant where Xu Cheng and Su Yu had agreed to meet.
In the car, Shi Xiaoqing curiously asked Xu Cheng in the front seat.
"Xu Xuedi, which sponsor did you contact?"
"Senior, do you usually use the Internet a lot?"
Shi Xiaoqing didn't know why Xu Cheng asked this, so she nodded.
“It happens quite frequently.”
Xu Cheng then asked, "What about Weibo and Hapi.com, do you know them?"
Without waiting for Shi Xiaoqing to answer, the driver turned his head and looked at Xu Cheng, "Hapi.com? It's the Hapi Internet Cafe where the vegetables are collected from Hapi Farm. Young man, do you know anyone from their company?"
"Oh, I just happen to have a...relative who works in their company."
"Really?"
The driver was surprised and said, "Then it's quite convenient for you to steal vegetables. You can use your connections to ask someone to modify the backend for you. Hahahaha, I'm kidding."
"It's okay, we're just acquaintances, not that close yet."
Xu Cheng smiled in agreement but didn't take it too seriously.
However, Shi Xiaoqing in the back row was completely shocked at this moment.
Her family was well-off and she had her own computer in her dormitory, which she often used. Her favorite website was Weibo, so when Xu Cheng mentioned this name, she was stunned for several seconds and her head almost moved from the back seat to the passenger seat where Xu Cheng was sitting.
"The person you are meeting... is from Hapi.com?!"
"To be exact, it's Qingzhou Company. Senior sister, don't call the wrong one later."
"I, I know."
Shi Xiaoqing sat back down, trying hard to conceal her surprise at the moment.
You have to know that they usually solicit sponsorship from shops and supermarkets near the school gate, and few people can actually get in touch with any enterprises or companies.
And Xu Cheng was able to get in touch with Qing Zhou.
No wonder he has the confidence to compete with Li Zhengdong!
"Junior brother, why didn't you tell me earlier? I was able to prepare some information when I came here, but now I am not prepared enough at all."
"Ah? It's okay, I think their people are pretty easy to talk to."
"What do you know? This kind of cooperation must be rigorous. We need to make a plan in advance so that others can see our serious attitude and be willing to continue the contact. If you come here with nothing and no preparation, others will definitely think that our attitude is very casual."
"It's okay. I've already prepared it in my mind."
Xu Cheng said with a smile.
However, he still admired Shi Xiaoqing's attitude. After a day of contact, he felt that if Shi Xiaoqing was trained, she would be a useful talent.
On the way back, Shi Xiaoqing sat in the back seat and took out a small mirror from her bag to touch up her makeup.
The car quickly arrived at the agreed hotel, Xu Cheng paid the fare, and the two got off together.
Before Shi Xiaoqing had the time to ask Xu Cheng which room he was in, a group of big men surrounded him in the hall and shook hands with Xu Cheng enthusiastically.
Zheng Zhihao was the main person in charge of Penguin Space before. After resigning from Penguin, he is now the main person in charge of Hapi.com.
He nodded respectfully to his young boss.
“Xu…”
“Cough cough cough!”
Xu Cheng coughed violently several times, winked at his men, and shook hands with Zheng Zhihao.
"Hello, I'm Xu Cheng, a freshman at the School of Economics and Management of Jiaotong University. This is my senior."
Shi Xiaoqing clenched her fists nervously and shook hands with Zheng Zhihao.
"Hello, I'm Shi Xiaoqing, a junior student at the School of Economics and Management of Jiaotong University."
Zheng Zhihao reacted quickly. After all, Xu Cheng had already arranged with them in advance and did not allow them to reveal his boss's identity.
He nodded, took out a business card from his suit and handed it to Shi Xiaoqing.
"Zheng Zhihao, this is my business card."
Shi Xiaoqing took a look at the man's rank - Senior Vice President of Qingzhou Network Technology Co., Ltd.
She nearly fainted from fright.
I thought I was just going to meet a few company managers, but how come I got to be at the level of the president right away?!
"Let's go up quickly, President Su is still waiting upstairs." Zheng Zhihao said with a smile.
Shi Xiaoqing silently analyzed his tone.
Why does it feel like when he talked about General Manager Su, he seemed to be talking about his superior.
At least we are on the same level!
Shi Xiaoqing felt a little dizzy.
For a moment, she had no idea what kind of magical dinner Xu Cheng brought her to.
He followed Xu Cheng upstairs in a daze, and saw that Xu Cheng was very calm at this time, and was talking to Zheng Zhihao in a calm and peaceful manner.
"Are you used to living here?"
"I'm quite used to it. In fact, I'm more used to it than when . The coast is more suitable for me. If I could be in Shenzhen, I would be even more used to it."
"Shenzhen City is not an option. It's the base of our mortal enemy. It's their home turf. It's too easy to get caught if we go there."
"Haha, Xu... Xu, you are quite good at joking."
For Zheng Zhihao, this is also a huge pressure.
Although Xu Cheng had instructed him to treat him as an ordinary student in front of his classmates tonight.
But at his level, with his experience, he clearly understood that if he really believed Xu Cheng's lies, then his road would be over.
Tonight we have to preserve the dignity of Boss Xu Cheng while not exposing his identity. This is the answer we have to give tonight.
Only by making some appropriate mistakes can you appear stupid and your boss wise.
Anyway, the result is that everyone is happy, and that's the way it should be.
When the door of the private room was opened, a very elegant young woman appeared in front of Shi Xiaoqing.
Although he hadn't been introduced yet, she had already guessed that this must be the Mr. Su that Mr. Zheng had mentioned.
Sure enough, when she saw Su Yu's senior president's business card, cold sweat broke out on her back and she was a little tongue-tied when she spoke.
However, she quickly calmed herself down and introduced herself and her purpose in a concise and clear manner.
After that, he gradually got into the groove and improvised to tell everyone in Qingzhou about the cooperation plan he had just come up with.
"As the 114th anniversary celebration party , I believe this party will definitely play a good role in promoting your company."
"And if Qingzhou sponsors the Jiaotong University Gala, there will be three advantages."
"First, Jiaotong University students are the main users of the Internet, and there are a large number of potential users of Qingzhou."
"Secondly, increasing Qingzhou's popularity in Jiaotong University can attract more college students who are about to graduate or will graduate in the future to become interested in joining Qingzhou."
"third……"
When it came to the third time, Shi Xiaoqing was a little stuck. After all, she had not prepared in advance, and being able to blurt out two advantages was already her limit.
Just when Shi Xiaoqing was feeling embarrassed, Xu Cheng put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and slowly added.
"Third, the gala will become a stepping stone for school-enterprise cooperation. The deep integration of education and industry will enhance our competitiveness and innovation capabilities."
When Shi Xiaoqing heard this, she nodded excitedly.
"Yes, yes, this cooperation must be very valuable to your company."
Su Yu rested his chin with his hand, listened quietly, and then glanced at Xu Cheng with his beautiful eyes.
"How much do you...you guys want?"
Xu Cheng thought about it.
"Just a flat price of 50,000 yuan. 50,000 yuan should be enough to get the exclusive sponsorship of an evening party."
The other side.
Shi Xiaoqing was shocked all over.
fifty thousand?!
How dare you speak?!
Xu Cheng was still too anxious. How could he ask for so much money at once?
It should be done step by step. Five thousand is about right.
She was just about to help Xu Cheng change his words, but President Su's words were like a sword from the sky that came without any reason or cause, piercing her throat and preventing her from saying a word.
“You are…”
“Cash or card?”
