Chapter 438 - 67: The Huang Family Elders Are Shocked—Our Daughter Joined the Student Council?
The funding from the student council is limited, so we have to secure sponsorships ourselves for many activities, which is the most vexing problem for the higher-ups.
Every time there’s an event, especially something big like an institute-level cultural gala or sports meet, funding is always short. The institute barely provides enough to hold a very rough event, and such a situation would lead to complaints, and the school would criticize us.
If you want to do it spectacularly, better go and find sponsors yourself. This is the time to test the student council’s ability.
However, getting sponsorship, especially big ones, is not easy. Each time, we have to beg sponsors, lowering ourselves so much it feels like being a supplicant. So it’s no surprise why the Institute’s Cultural Department and External Affairs Department would fight over Su Zelin.
The manager of New Era is truly a patron god of wealth!
Just at the last National Day gala of the School of Economics and Management, New Era sponsored a thousand bucks, not to mention a huge pile of mouse and keyboard gifts. Their generosity is almost written on their faces.
The other stores on campus are stingy, and asking for a sponsorship of two or three hundred is difficult.
Moreover, if it’s for an institute-level cultural gala, that’s even more troublesome.
So, the Institute’s Cultural Department and External Affairs Department are trying to invite him in with great respect.
As long as Su Zelin nods, his name will immediately be added to the roster of either department’s members that day.
However, the School of Economics and Management’s Cultural Department hasn’t had any events recently.
They just held the department’s cultural gala on the 11th, and the New Year’s is for the whole institute. Sponsorship and a small department’s vice minister aren’t even related, so Su Zelin can absolutely talk to the institute.
Tao Min found this a bit puzzling.
Yishui Just Very Handsome: "Well, New Year’s is coming, so the institute’s New Year cultural gala will probably need sponsorship. I can help talk to the boss and general manager to try to get more! Also, for future events of both the institute and our School of Economics and Management, as long as I’m still the manager, the sponsorship won’t be lacking!"
Minmin Muttered: "Junior, is New Era planning to sponsor the student council long-term? [Anticipation]"
Tao Min was excited, as such a long-term sponsor is undoubtedly the most sought after by the student council, yet hard to come by.
Yishui Just Very Handsome: "Haha, that’s right. New Era is based in universities, so they’re looking for in-depth cooperation with the student council. I’m familiar with you, so I wanted to discuss this with you first!"
Tao Min immediately understood Su Zelin’s deeper intentions.
Actually, with this junior’s position as a manager at New Era, he could absolutely talk directly with the student council president. He could even just call the president and make them come running.
Such a generous and affluent long-term sponsor would definitely be a top guest in the student council!
However, if he went to the student council president, there would be no credit for her at all.
But, if this matter is reported through her to the institute’s student council, then it would be credited as a major achievement.
The institute’s student council might think she used her personal connections to persuade Su Zelin, making him promise to sponsor them long-term, which changes the entire nature of the situation.
This junior really has good intentions!
Minmin Muttered: "Junior, thank you. The sponsorship for the last department cultural gala also required your help. You’ve been so good to your senior, and I have nothing to repay you with[Tear-eyed]"
Yishui Just Very Handsome: "Why not just agree to marry me[Sly smile]"
Minmin Muttered: "Is there such a good thing? Then it’s settled happily[Raised eyebrow]"
Yishui Just Very Handsome: "Senior, you’re agreeing too easily[Embarrassment]"
Minmin Muttered: "Meeting such a handsome, talented, future CEO who is already a manager at a flagship digital store while still in school, is there even a need to hesitate? Thinking about it for one more second feels disrespectful to you, junior[Covers mouth]"
"..."
After joking around for a while, they got back to business.
Yishui Just Very Handsome: "By the way, before reporting this to the institute’s cultural department, you should contact Yan Qingyi. She’s my high school senior, and we get along well! As for how to report, just do as you see fit."
Minmin Muttered: "OK, I understand!"
Su Zelin’s words conveyed two meanings.
First, the credit doesn’t just go to her; Yan Qingyi is involved too.
Second, she can make it up as she pleases, like saying she and Yan Qingyi found Su Zelin, invited him to dinner, and convinced him to become a sponsor for the student council.
There’s no need to be modest, just grab as much credit as possible.
Yishui Just Very Handsome: "Oh, there’s one more personal favor I need from you, senior."
Minmin Muttered: "What favor? I’ve already agreed to marry you; we’re like family now, so just say it. I’ll do my best to help!"
Tao Min was in a great mood.
Within her ability, she’d do anything for Su Zelin at this moment.
Yishui Just Very Handsome: "I have a junior girl from high school who wants to join the department’s cultural activities to hone her skills. But she wasn’t a class officer in high school and doesn’t have a particularly impressive resume."
Minmin Muttered: "Haha, that’s simple. The department’s cultural activities welcome anyone with ambition. Leave it to me!"
Su Zelin offered her a great deal, so how could she not fulfill such a small request?
Minmin Muttered: "Is that it, nothing else?"
Yishui Just Very Handsome: "Anything else? Nope. It’s cold and snowy at night; I can’t possibly ask you to come over to keep me warm, can I? After all, I’m such an upright person, right?"
