The next afternoon, the Director of the External Relations Department took Qi Tongwei to the office of the External Relations Department.
There are seven people in the External Relations Department, including the director, all of them are men.
The minister’s name is Zhang Tao, a senior student at the School of Foreign Languages and a long-time member of the Student Union.
Four of the remaining six people were assigned here forcibly to fill the External Relations Department, and their number of people was basically equivalent to helpers.
The other two are freshmen of this business school. They all come from well-off families and want to use their own conditions to strive for leadership positions in the Student Union. Because they are competitors, they dislike each other a little.
Zhang Tao was explaining the situation to Qi Tongwei when he heard a heated argument breaking out in the office.
"Cao Xiaoge, the funds you raised for the National Day Gala a few days ago were not enough. Fortunately, I raised some money in time to fill the gap, otherwise everyone would have been left with nothing."
"Xu Guochang, don't give me that. If you hadn't interfered, I would have gotten the funds a long time ago."
Xu Guochang smiled contemptuously, "If you can't do it, then you can't do it. Why are you still making excuses? As a student of Handong University, how can you hold an important position in the association in the future if you are so irresponsible?"
"you…."
Seeing that the two men were once again becoming hostile, Zhang Tao hurriedly pushed the door open, walked quickly between them, and stopped the conflict that was about to break out.
Chapter 14 External Relations Department 2
"Okay, okay! We are all alumni, and we work in the same department. How can the relationship be so tense?" Zhang Tao said anxiously, with a hint of helplessness and blame in his tone.
He came here this year to assist with the transition of the External Relations Department. According to the rules of the External Relations Department, generally capable people will only work in the Department for one year, and then immediately jump to other departments to take up important positions after making achievements.
The former director of the External Relations Department has been promoted to vice president of the Student Union. At the same time, several capable staff members have also gone to other departments, either as directors, deputy directors or members of the presidium.
This made the already precarious External Relations Department even worse, but fortunately, two young men from wealthy families were admitted this year.
I originally thought that if everyone worked together, like in previous years, we could make it through the semester, and I would be able to graduate as a vice president next year. I didn't expect that these two people had several fights in more than a month. It was really a headache.
"For the sake of my senior, I won't bother with you, huh." Xu Changguo sat down first.
Zhang Tao's expression changed slightly.
He didn't even call me "old senior". It was obvious that Xu Changguo looked down on me.
Indeed, it's because I don't have their ability to raise funds.
The director of external relations controlled his emotions and pressed his hands together, "Okay, okay, Cao Xiaoge, everyone sit down, everyone sit down."
After everyone was seated, Zhang Tao said, "Come, let me introduce to you all. We have a new member joining our External Relations Department today. Please applaud and welcome him."
Sparse applause broke out, making the External Relations Minister's face even darker.
In addition to Cao Xiaoge, there was another member who showed some respect by joining in the clapping. The other three, led by Xu Changguo, clapped casually.
Qi Tongwei's outfit looked just to make up the numbers.
If you want to work in the External Relations Department but don't have a certain financial foundation and want to make any achievements, it's just a pipe dream.
If you go out to solicit investment but your clothes are ragged, you may not even be able to get through the boss's door.
Therefore, people who come here are either here to help me or to follow Cao Xiaoge.
As the most powerful person in the External Relations Department today, Xu Changguo naturally has the capital to look down on others.
"Tongwei, please sit there." Zhang Tao pointed to the seat at the very bottom.
"Okay, Minister."
"Tsk." Xu Changguo couldn't help but sneer, making the External Relations Minister's face even darker.
"Xu Changguo, this is the student union. I hope you will show some respect to me and other members. If you are really capable, you can make achievements and I will immediately step down. If you continue to do this, I will have no choice but to report to the presidium and expel you from the union."
Even a clay man has some temper, let alone an old veteran who has been in the student union for several years.
Being criticized in public, Xu Changguo felt a little embarrassed. He could only look at Zhang Tao hatefully and turn his head away.
After slightly suppressing Xu Changguo, Zhang Tao did not give up. He turned around and took out the documents in his hand, "The school sports meeting will be held in half a month. The Sports Department needs some equipment support. The funding is about 2,000. I hope our External Relations Department can help solve it."
"The Learning Department also wants to purchase some information and experimental materials. The Arts Department needs to make up for the funding gap for the year-end performance. Other departments also need some funds for renovation and replenishment. These are the problems that need to be solved this semester."
"If you have any ideas about these issues, please feel free to speak up."
Everyone looked at each other and then at Cao Xiaoge and Xu Changguo.
The External Relations Department has two main sources of income. One is school fundraising. However, a fundraising campaign was launched before National Day, but the proceeds were very small, and most of the money has been spent.
If we continue to raise funds now, we will inevitably be criticized by students, and I am afraid that even the presidium will not approve the plan.
Apart from this, we can only look for solutions outside the school.
Going out to "beg" is a little difficult for these thin-skinned college students, so they can only pin their hopes on these two people with "extensive connections".
He still has to rely on himself, Xuchang State started to tremble again.
"I just raised some funds last week to solve the National Day performance. I have no idea yet. It depends on Cao's decision."
It’s not that Xuchangguo can’t get the money, he is just playing hard to get.
If it is too easy to get, others will take it for granted. It is better to let them have the headache.
Only then could he negotiate terms with the student union. After a month, he had figured out the rules of the External Relations Department. He didn't want to make things difficult for others, so he prepared to take the position of External Relations Director.
Cao Xiaoge frowned, thinking that a few thousand dollars was not a difficult thing to do given his family's financial resources.
But this cannot be done often. After all, school activities can be held continuously as long as there is money. I can't support a school with the resources of my family alone.
All the nearby businesses that can be persuaded have already been persuaded by the student union over the years, so it is a bit difficult to get money out of their pockets again.
The two of them remained silent, so Zhang Tao had to speak again, "Since no one has any ideas, let me talk about it.
It’s still early for the year-end show, so there’s no rush for now.
The immediate task is to arrange the school sports meet of the Sports Department, the experimental materials and study materials of the Learning Department, as well as some miscellaneous matters of other departments. I calculated that it would cost about 4,400 yuan, but because we have to leave enough time for procurement, we only have one week to raise the funds.
Each of us will undertake a certain amount of tasks. I will go first. I will take the task of 800. The rest you can take according to your ability. "
Xu Changguo continued: "Since the minister has said so, I will take the lead..."
Xu Changguo counted the heads and said, "Well, the minister has received 800, leaving 3,600. My ability is limited, so I will take the 500 mission."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Tao's face turned ugly again. Zhang Tao originally thought that Xuchang State Council wanted to put himself in a position to bear the amount of nine hundred to one thousand.
Then Cao Xiaoge will take over a considerable amount, and the remaining gap will be very small. The student union management will make up for it a little at that time, and the other five people can each contribute a few dozen yuan, and the problem can be solved perfectly.
Now that Xuchang State has done this, the gap has been immediately opened and a large piece has been pulled out.
Cao Xiaoge is not a fool. After thinking for a while, he said, "I will do my best. It won't be less than 500. As for how much I can get, I can't guarantee it for now."
Once the two bosses made their statements, it was the turn of the other people to get restless. How could they afford to raise so much money?
"Minister, you know I don't even have a decent piece of clothing. It's good enough that they didn't kick me out. The limit of more than 500 yuan in a week is really difficult."
"Minister, I originally just wanted to be an ordinary clerk in the Learning Department, but the Student Union forced me to be assigned here. The problem is that I don't have the ability to do this."
“Yeah…” Everyone wailed.
Xu Changguo sneered in his heart, waiting for Zhang Tao to make a fool of himself.
Zhang Tao put his hands together and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "Let's do our best. Also, if anyone can raise more than 2,000 yuan this time, I will recommend him to be the deputy director of the External Relations Department."
Zhang Tao threw out the bait he had prepared long ago.
Upon hearing this from Cao Xiaoge, Xu Changguo did not react at all.
The position of Deputy Minister of the External Relations Department sounds nice, but it is actually meaningless. The most important thing is the support of ability. Otherwise, you will be like Zhang Tao, looked down upon by your subordinates.
Otherwise it wouldn't have been left unsettled for so long. The student union didn't send anyone over because the External Relations Department is not doing a good job.
However, Qi Tongwei's eyes lit up. He realized that his foundation was shallow and he could not make progress step by step. If he could take up an important position immediately and make some achievements, he would be able to join the presidium next year.
"Minister, anyone can do it?"
Chapter 15 I Want to Be Friends
Qi Tongwei suddenly spoke, which caught others off guard.
Only then did Zhang Tao realize that this person had volunteered to join the External Relations Department.
Those who come in on their own initiative are all people with ideas.
"Of course, our External Relations Department and even the entire Student Union emphasizes that the capable are promoted and the mediocre are demoted."
"Hey, hey, hey, classmate, two thousand yuan is not a small amount. Have you ever seen so much money? If you can't finish it on time and it affects the conference, can you afford it?" Xu Changguo looked up and down at Qi Tongwei's clothes, his tone was extremely sarcastic, and the meaning was obvious.
"It's only two thousand dollars, is it a lot?"
Qi Tongwei is not Zhang Tao, he just mocked back.
The reason why the work of the External Relations Department is difficult is that they only ask for things from the enterprises but do not bring any benefits to the enterprises.
After a long time, naturally no one will be willing to invest anymore.
Qi Tongwei had read many business cases, and it was not difficult for him to attract an investment of two thousand yuan by copying others.
Besides, if it really doesn't work out, there is Teacher Gao to back me up. With Teacher Gao's network of connections, there are plenty of people willing to invest.
Xu Changguo almost laughed out of anger. A poor student dared to talk to him like that. "Okay, okay, then I'll wait for this person... What's your name?"
"Qi Tongwei, thank you."
"Okay, I'll wait for Vice Minister Qi to take office."
After saying that, Xu Changguo immediately stood up and left. His three younger brothers followed him out in unison, not paying any attention to the people present.
Qi Tongwei couldn't help but shook his head in his heart. If he didn't have a strong backing, it would be difficult for him to make a difference in the officialdom in the future if he was so ostentatious.
After the meeting, Zhang Tao asked Qi Tongwei to stay alone.
"Tongwei, are you really confident?" Zhang Tao was afraid that Qi Tongwei would be too young and would make both of them look unhappy.
"Don't worry, Brother Tao, just wait and see what happens."
"Okay, then it all depends on you. I still say the same thing, if you can do it, I will definitely push you to deputy minister. I will retire next semester, and then the position of minister will be yours." Zhang Tao was still worried and gave Qi Tongwei another shot of chicken blood.
Qi Tongwei couldn't help but feel a little amused. Even the president of the student union didn't have a real rank. What attraction could this "minister" have for Qi Tongwei? If it wasn't for the future, whoever wanted to do this thankless job could do it.
After the two parted, Qi Tongwei prepared to return to the dormitory.
The Student Union's office is located in an old two-story building in the corner of Handong University.
The building is a long one with more than a dozen rooms on each floor. It is the predecessor of Handong University.
Just as he was about to go down the stairs, he saw a graceful girl coming towards him under the dim light. Just one crucial glance and Qi Tongwei recognized who she was.
"Minister Yu."
Yu Xiaoxiao looked up and saw an imposing man looking down at her. "Student Qi, it's you. How are you? Are you used to being in the External Relations Department?"
"It's okay, there are just too few people. But they are all talented and speak nicely." Qi Tongwei shrugged his shoulders in a flat tone.
The aloof Yu Xiaoxiao smiled slightly at the teasing, but when she saw Qi Tongwei staring at her blankly, she immediately returned to her aloof look, "That's good. The External Relations Department has a heavy burden, and I hope you work hard."
Qi Tongwei nodded and said, "Yes, thank you Minister Yu for your trust."
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded, raised her legs and continued to go upstairs. Qi Tongwei watched Yu Xiaoxiao slowly walk into the Organization Department's office.
"What a great figure." Qi Tongwei exclaimed.
He decided that when he met Yu Xiaoxiao, he would first increase her favorability to the maximum.
Well, let’s be friends!
...
"Sign in!"
"Sign in to the white character Li Erjiang, friend level 1."
Unfortunately, it was not Yu Xiaoxiao, but a useless character, a villager from Qijia Village, who could not provide any help to Qi Tongwei.
Turning it into a white dot, Qi Tongwei got up and washed.
"Xiaojun, today is the weekend, take a rest, stop reading, and go out with me later."
Friendship only makes people feel good about each other, but it does not affect people's thoughts or personality. Therefore, most of Ma Xiaojun's thoughts are still on studying.
"Okay, okay." Ma Xiaojun immediately put away his books and got up to wash.
Li Ronghua heard the noise and said in confusion: "Tongwei, what are you doing? You finally have a day off, come and play some cards."
