Although she agreed to Li Lingshan, Su Man still had to ask Yumeng for permission before doing this.
An agency like Dream Entertainment was always one that didn't do anything without profit. Such a public welfare activity was a waste of manpower and resources, and yielded no profit. It would be extremely difficult to convince the higher-ups to participate. Not to mention, given her status, the higher-ups probably didn't even know who she was, let alone listen to her.
After some thought, Su Man decided to ask for help from her aunt. Ahem, no, she decided to consult her aunt.
Su Man was afraid that Yu Xiulin would not agree, so she hinted at it, but Yu Xiulin was so smart that she soon figured out Su Man's plan.
"So, you mean, you want to set up a charity foundation?"
"It seems so, yes."
"Nonsense."
Yu Xiulin's face instantly darkened. "Do you think running a foundation is that easy? Not only do we need millions in start-up capital, but we also need a venue and staff that meet the standards. The ongoing operation requires a tremendous amount of manpower and resources. Organizing fundraising, accepting aid applications, reviewing qualifications—every step can be flawless. And that's assuming you can raise the money."
Yu Xiulin grew increasingly angry as she spoke. "I thought you'd been working quite diligently recently, and I thought you'd really changed, but I didn't expect you to still be so simple-minded."
Su Man lowered her head and endured the scolding. After Yu Xiulin finished scolding her, she licked her face and said, "Please calm down, calm down. I just came to ask for your opinion."
Yu Xiulin rolled her eyes at her. "I don't know you. If you can bring this up in front of me, you must have already made up your mind. Why are you asking for my opinion?"
“Hehehe…”
Su Man laughed dryly a few times, "As expected, you are my aunt. Nothing can be hidden from your eyes."
She rubbed Yu Xiulin's shoulders and back like a servile girl. Yu Xiulin couldn't hold back her anger. After all, she was her niece, so she couldn't get angry. She said helplessly, "When will you let me have some peace of mind?"
Seeing that she was not as angry as before, Su Man took out the screenshots that Li Lingshan forwarded to her.
"Aunt, I really don't want to do anything this time. I want to do something practical."
As a fellow woman, Yu Xiulin's eyes flickered slightly when she saw all that, and her tone softened. "I know you're a good kid, but you're thinking too simply about this. With Li Lingshan's current status, she has absolutely no clout, no funding, and nothing can go wrong. Do you understand?"
"I know what you said is true, Auntie, and I also know that expecting the company to support this kind of event is simply unrealistic. But Flow was criticized by official media a while ago, causing the company's reputation to decline. If this continues for a long time, it will inevitably have an impact on the company."
Su Man watched Yu Xiulin's reaction as she spoke. Seeing her frown, Su Man felt that this was possible and continued, "The company signed Li Lingshan to restore its public image, but due to the influence of the rival company, the effect was not obvious."
The rival company that Su Man was talking about was the agency that Er Er joined.
Er Er became very successful with his persona as the "messenger of justice", and his company also gained goodwill by stepping on Yumeng. Although Yumeng was annoyed, it could do nothing about it.
Su Man patiently coaxed, "But if we let Li Lingshan be our company's public welfare ambassador, the situation will be completely different."
Although Yu Xiulin agreed with Su Man's statement, she was still a little hesitant. "Even if it can improve the company's reputation as you said, without actual benefits, the top management will not approve this proposal."
"Just because you can't get the benefits directly doesn't mean you can't get them back from other sources."
"you mean?"
"Doesn't our company have several groups whose development has been affected by word-of-mouth? We can get them involved. Firstly, with their fame, this charity organization will be seen by more people. Secondly, we can also whitewash them and reverse the negative public impression."
Idol groups such as boy and girl groups are relatively young and are prone to saying the wrong things. For example, there was a girl group in Yumeng Entertainment that was very popular. Because the members were rude to fans and disrespected their seniors, they were put on the pillar of shame by netizens.
Although I have tried whitening it several times, the effect is average.
Reputation is linked to endorsements. For example, celebrities who are generally considered to be unfashionable will hardly receive any fashion resources. Once there is negative information, the sponsors will also have second thoughts.
After all, the presence of a spokesperson can help a brand generate sales, but it can also lead to boycotts due to the spokesperson's influence.
There are many groups that have been ridiculed because of their bad reputation among the public. If this activity can help them whitewash themselves successfully, the profits brought to the company will undoubtedly be huge.
Yu Xiulin was convinced. After a moment's contemplation, she suddenly smiled and said, "You, you said all this just to get me to lobby for you in front of the higher-ups."
Yu Xiulin's tone at this moment was completely different from the beginning. Su Man hugged Yu Xiulin's shoulders and acted like a spoiled child, "Please, auntie, please help me."
Yu Xiulin patted her arm in amusement, "Look at you, you're already grown up, but you're still acting like a spoiled brat like you were when you were little."
She finally relented, "Okay, I promise you. But whether it will work out in the end depends on what the higher-ups think."
Yu Xiulin finally agreed, and Su Man breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Yu Xiulin is willing to help, the matter will be half done.
Sure enough, just as Su Man expected, after Yu Xiulin submitted the proposal, there was a result within a few days.
Yumeng agreed to the proposal, but they were only willing to provide the first installment of funds. If no donations were raised in the future, the company would not provide any assistance.
