The next meeting was for everyone to share their experiences visiting manufacturers and companies over the past few days, raise any problems they encountered, and have Manager Zhang answer them one by one, providing solutions.
In Li Ming's view, this content was unremarkable, nothing more than old-fashioned sales techniques and experience sharing.
He listened until he was drowsy and kept yawning.
After finally getting through the meeting, Manager Zhang asked everyone to ask questions, and Li Ming eagerly stood up.
"Manager Zhang, stop keeping us in suspense and reveal the answer! Who exactly secured the title sponsor?"
The meeting room fell silent. Everyone pricked up their ears and stared eagerly at Manager Zhang, waiting for him to reveal the answer.
Manager Zhang stood on the podium, looked around, and finally his gaze landed on Ye Linchen.
"The person who secured the title sponsor this time is our company's youngest colleague: Ye Linchen!"
Ye Linchen stood up and bowed slightly to everyone.
The meeting room erupted in disbelief.
"What? Ye Linchen? How is that possible!"
Li Ming suddenly turned to Ye Linchen, his face filled with disbelief.
"How could a high school student like her possibly secure a sponsorship? Manager Zhang, did you make the connection for her?"
Manager Zhang shook his head: "This was something Xiao Ye came up with herself, and the title sponsor is Tianyin Electronics! I was just there to oversee things for her on the day the contract was signed, and I saw with my own eyes how she negotiated it."
He shook his head dramatically, "That was truly thrilling!"
Although he appeared calm at the time, he was actually very anxious and worried inside.
Looking back now, wasn't it thrilling?
Xiao Huang and her companions suddenly remembered something.
Xiao Huang exclaimed, "We also went to Tianyin Electronics, but the receptionist ignored us, so we left. That's when we ran into Xiao Ye. Xiao Ye, you didn't give up!"
"That's right. We thought this company was doomed, but we didn't expect Xiao Ye to be so capable and actually succeed. If we had known, we should have persevered."
Only after everyone heard their words did they believe that Ye Linchen had really secured a sponsor.
Someone asked her a question.
"Xiao Ye, how did you do that? Teach us!"
Before Ye Linchen could answer, Lao Zhao spoke first.
"This kind of secret can't be easily passed on to outsiders; it can only be told to apprentices. Old Li, weren't you going to kneel down and become my disciple? Hurry up!"
Li Ming's face turned bright red; he still couldn't believe it.
"You must have relatives in Tianyin Electronics. What kind of skill is it to get sponsorships through connections!"
"I'm sorry, I really don't have any relatives like that," Ye Linchen said frankly. "Besides, even if I did manage to get sponsorship through connections, that's my network. Networks are a part of one's strength, aren't they?"
Manager Zhang looked at Li Ming with displeasure.
"Li Ming, you doubt others just because you can't do it yourself?"
"How can you achieve great things with such a narrow mind and petty temperament?"
"I can tell you definitively that Xiao Ye won the sponsorship through her own hard work. If you're really that capable, bring back a title sponsorship for us to see!"
"Stop just talking!"
In front of so many people, being criticized by Manager Zhang by name like that, even Li Ming, with his thick skin, couldn't take it anymore.
He sat down sullenly, his face ashen.
Manager Zhang then turned to everyone and said, "Xiao Ye secured the sponsorship entirely on her own, and even got the naming rights for two years."
Two years?
Upon hearing this, everyone wailed in despair.
This lucrative opportunity will belong to Ye Linchen for the next two years; next year, they can only watch helplessly!
"Not only that, Yali Company originally wanted to be the title sponsor, but Tianyin beat them to it, so they had to settle for second best and provide clothing sponsorship of no less than 30,000 yuan."
Manager Zhang dropped another bombshell.
"My God! Two companies are fighting over this? Why don't I ever have such good fortune?"
"Yali Company is willing to sponsor clothing? Thirty thousand yuan! That could buy so many clothes!"
"I really love their clothes, Xiao Ye. Could you help us get a discount next time so we can buy clothes cheaper?"
"Xiao Ye, don't forget me."
Some people took the opportunity to cultivate a relationship with Ye Linchen.
After expressing their feelings, everyone turned their attention to Li Ming.
Chen Meiqi shouted first, "Old Li, didn't you want to become an apprentice? Hurry up!"
"Yes, yes, you have to kneel down, you said it yourself."
"From now on, Xiao Ye will be your master."
Li Ming was speechless, his eyes darting around.
His attitude remained unchanged; he still firmly believed that even if Ye Linchen had secured sponsorship, it was simply good luck.
I am more experienced and more capable than her.
How could I possibly become her apprentice?
However, having already spoken out of turn, and with the crowd egging him on, Li Ming found himself in a difficult position.
He said angrily, "How could Xiao Ye, at such a young age, possibly take on apprentices? Don't be ridiculous."
"That's not necessarily true. If you kneel more sincerely, maybe Xiao Ye will be willing to accept you."
Chen Meiqi, who loves to see people make a fool of themselves, immediately shouted.
"Yes, kneel down!"
"Old Li, how will you know if you don't try?"
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Ye Linchen stood up and said to Li Ming with a smile, "Brother Li, I don't accept apprentices. Your kneeling won't help. Just keep your bet."
Everyone immediately remembered their bet and started making noise again.
"Old Li, you've really lost this time."
"Five hundred yuan, pay up!"
"Didn't expect that, did you? You've already paid up so quickly!"
