After being reborn, I gained a childhood sweetheart who appeared out of nowhere.

"School's out, Mr. Lin, let's go eat." The moment the bell rang, Wang Xu couldn't wait to stand up.

"I need to leave the school now," Lin Chuan said.

"Why did you leave school?" The answer came from Chen Xiyu. She and Zhou Yun had come to have dinner with Lin Chuan.

"The student union secured a sponsorship, and I'm going to meet with a senior student from my department to discuss it," Lin Chuan said.

"Oh, I see. Then I can leave the school again. That feels so good," Wang Xu said.

Lin Chuan asked, "So, this is supposed to be a business trip, but what's so great about it?"

"I don't know, but it feels so good to be out of school," Wang Xu said. "How about you bring us some food?"

"What are you thinking? Do I have time for that?"

"That seems to be true."

Chen Xiyu thought for a moment, "Then will you come back from evening study?"

"Sure, I'm a good student, I'll definitely come back for evening study," Lin Chuan said. "You guys go eat, I'm leaving. If I go any later, my senior will call me."

After saying goodbye, Lin Chuan went downstairs and arrived at the school gate. Sun Yan was already waiting there, and even Cheng Xue was there. They were all in the same class, but she seemed to be moving faster.

Sun Yan showed the security guard at the school gate their leave slips and let them out.

Lin Chuan thought the group would take the bus, but Sun Yan waved and hailed a taxi. She sat in the front passenger seat, leaving Lin Chuan and Cheng Xue in the back, each sitting on one side.

After driving for about ten minutes, the car stopped downstairs at a company building. As soon as Sun Yan went inside, she told the receptionist that they were from the No. 1 Middle School Student Union. The receptionist, who was wearing a skirt suit, led them inside.

I didn't meet any leaders when I went in. Instead, I was led to a small tea room to wait. They said that General Manager Liu was still in a meeting and would be there soon.

Several people sat in the tea room drinking tea. Sun Yan subconsciously looked around, while Cheng Xue sat quietly, just like when school started. Lin Chuan was the only one drinking tea.

"Are you nervous, senior?" Lin Chuan took a sip of tea, but found it rather unpalatable compared to the tea he used to drink in his office.

"Although it might only be a sponsorship of a few thousand yuan, it feels completely different when I'm negotiating a collaboration with someone for the first time compared to spending my own money," Sun Yan said. She doesn't really care about the few thousand yuan herself, but it seems different when it's on behalf of the student union.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the glass door to the tea room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a suit and slicked-back hair walked in.

Sun Yan stood up and went to greet him. "Hello, Mr. Liu, I am Sun Yan from the student council of No. 1 Middle School in the city."

Mr. Liu paused for a moment, looking at Sun Yan and Cheng Xue. "I remember the person who called me was a guy, right?"

"That's our chairman, but he has some things to attend to today," Sun Yan said, "so we've come to discuss the sponsorship with you."

General Manager Liu glanced at Sun Yan and smiled. "I didn't expect it to be a girl. I sent Xiao Wang from my department instead. Girls should have more to talk about, right?"

It sounded like a joke, and Sun Yan didn't know how to respond.

"Actually, I have something to take care of." Mr. Liu turned to look at the office door, about to call someone.

At this moment, Lin Chuan suddenly called out, "President Liu."

Mr. Liu turned around and looked at Lin Chuan. "What's wrong? Is there something you need, young man?"

Sun Yan looked at Lin Chuan, who suddenly spoke, with some surprise.

"I forgot to introduce myself. I'm the Minister of External Relations of the Student Union of No. 1 Middle School," Lin Chuan said with a smile. "Actually, I'm the one in charge of this sponsorship."

As soon as the words were spoken, both Sun Yan and Cheng Xue were stunned.

"Mr. Liu must be quite busy, but we won't take up much of your time. Ten minutes would be convenient for you to hear about our New Year's Eve party plans," Lin Chuan said with a smile.

Seeing the other person's expression, General Manager Liu paused for a moment, then nodded, "Then speak quickly."

"it is good."

Lin Chuan walked up to General Manager Liu and said, "The No. 1 High School in the city is very famous here. Every year, the top scorer in the college entrance examination comes from our school. In addition to our school, some other leaders and business leaders will also be attending this New Year's Eve party..."

In the tea room, Lin Chuan spoke eloquently. He first talked about the school's background and vision, and finally talked about the student council's full plan for the New Year's Eve party.

After listening, General Manager Liu nodded, "That's well said."

Lin Chuan said, "Actually, besides your company, we have also reached basic cooperation intentions with two other companies. Since this is also the first time we have organized a sponsorship program, the school only approved three places, and your company is one of the companies we most want to cooperate with."

Mr. Liu was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Lin Chuan and smiled, "The kids from your No. 1 High School student council are much more capable than I thought."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Liu. That's all I wanted to say. I hope you will seriously consider sponsoring our school," Lin Chuan said with a smile, the time allotted being about ten minutes.

Mr. Liu nodded. "Then let's proceed with the specific sponsorship details according to the contract we just discussed."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Liu," Lin Chuan said.

Upon hearing this, Sun Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The two discussed the contract amount again and finally finalized all the details. Then, General Manager Liu asked "Xiao Wang" to see the group downstairs. The three of them didn't say much along the way.

Once outside the company, Sun Yan finally spoke, "Xiao Chuan, what did you do before? How do you know about contracts? And what about the school's gala planning document? Xiao Yu hasn't even given it to you yet, how do you know the contents?"

She had just watched Lin Chuan discuss the contract and the proposal, and it went very smoothly. It felt like two business owners were having a face-to-face meeting. They seemed to be chatting and laughing, but there was a certain aura about them.

She didn't even know she needed to explain the event planning process, the school's situation, and so on to the other party.

"I learned about contracts from my teacher in junior high school," Lin Chuan said. Although Liu Hao would definitely be surprised to hear this, "The plan hasn't been released yet, but the gala event only has a few procedures, so we can just fit it in."

Sun Yan was taken aback because when Lin Chuan was talking to the other party about the New Year's Eve party plan, he spoke very eloquently, and it felt better than what they had written in the past two years.

The other party clearly hasn't even seen the proposal?

Suddenly, Cheng Xue spoke up, seemingly curious, "Why did you say we already have other sponsors?"

"We do have other sponsors in mind," Lin Chuan said.

Cheng Xue said, "But none of that has been confirmed yet."

"Whether it's confirmed or not doesn't matter. The important thing is to let him know about our school's resources," Lin Chuan said.

"My subtext is that we are the best school in the city, and it would be good to have their sponsorship, but it doesn't matter if we don't have their sponsorship. It's just a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship."

The two girls were stunned after hearing this. Although they were good at studying and had served as student council ministers or other positions for a long time at school, they still seemed to be far behind the real deal.

Lin Chuan didn't want to continue this topic either; some things could go on forever if talked about too much.

"Then why did you impersonate the head of our student union's external relations department just now?" Sun Yan suddenly remembered this. "I'm not blaming you, but I'm a little curious, why did you say that?"

"When he saw that it was you, senior, who came to discuss the contract, he seemed a little unhappy," Lin Chuan said. "He probably felt that he wasn't being taken seriously by talking to a young girl like you."

Sun Yan was taken aback. "That's what the joke meant? He seemed to be laughing normally, so I thought it was a joke."

Lin Chuan grinned as well.

He knew that many so-called "leaders" were like that; they would talk to you with a smile, but they might be very angry inside. They would just say it as a joke.

Many "newcomers" simply couldn't understand it; they called it workplace unspoken rules. Lin Chuan just thought these rules were a bit boring.

"That guy looks down on people, huh, it's just a few thousand yuan in sponsorship." Sun Yan snorted.

"Yes, some people are like that in the workplace," Lin Chuan said casually. "Senior, after the sponsorship, there's actually a part-time position available during our gala. Can I choose someone myself?"

"Sure, did you negotiate all the contracts? You can handle it."

"Not a member of the student council."

"Sure, sure, it's no big deal." Sun Yan patted Lin Chuan on the shoulder happily. "I think there are quite a few things I need to learn from you."

Lin Chuan smiled without saying a word.

The group got into the car together. On the way back to school, they were all silent. Lin Chuan turned to look out the window and saw that many shops had decorated with colorful lights and some had even put up Christmas trees.

Of course, tomorrow is Christmas, today is just Christmas Eve. If he remembered correctly, there were many apples sold at the small shops near the school gate. He glanced at the time again. He could still make it to evening study after arriving at school. After all, they could get there and back quickly by taxi, so they would still have time.

"Senior, I want to buy something at the school gate later. Can I bring it in under the student council's name?" Lin Chuan asked.

"What should I buy?"

"apple."

"You can just buy an apple and put it in your pocket."

"It's a box."

"Bought for the class?"

"Yeah, a few people asked for apples when we were eating last time, and I just remembered," Lin Chuan said. Anyway, a box of apples isn't much money for him. He used to take his department out to eat often, and a single meal could cost several thousand yuan.

So, since I happened to be out, I decided to bring a box of apples for the class.

"You're such a good class monitor," Sun Yan said with a smile.

Upon arriving at the school gate, the three of them got off the bus together. Lin Chuan went straight to the small shop next door, where, as expected, there were many apples on display. After haggling with the shopkeeper for a while, he bought a box of apples for two yuan each.

There are fewer than forty people in the class, so it would only cost less than a hundred yuan. He could have told Lao Xue that he could have used the class funds to reimburse him, but there was no need for that.

Lin Chuan paid, and the shopkeeper brought over two boxes of apples. Cheng Xue walked over and picked up one of the boxes.

"What are you doing?" Lin Chuan asked. Dozens of apples weren't actually that heavy, and he didn't plan to ask a girl to help him move them.

"Move things." Cheng Xue simply left behind this casual remark, then carried the apple inside.
