Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

"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?"
