Chapter 190: Seeking Sponsors
She looked at the few people with admiration, she didn't expect them to be so conscious.
Every year when it comes to selecting people, she gets a headache.
To put it in a positive way, this is a credit to the department store. To put it in a negative way, it wastes time and doesn't bring in any profit. The old employees complain a lot and the new employees also dislike it.
She looked at the six people in front of her with an almost loving gaze: "Keep going, I'm rooting for you."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Chen Meilan walked over, her eyes sweeping over them, finally landing on Su Xiaoxiao: "One of you should take an hour after get off work these few days to prepare. Once you have thought of a program, come to me and report it."
After a pause, she continued, "This is a major event for our department store. It concerns the reputation of our department store, so we must take it seriously."
After saying that, she left, leaving the six of them looking at each other in bewilderment. What was going on?
Su Xiaoxiao's face fell. Is it too late for him to quit now?
Seeing that it was already lunchtime, a few people went to eat dejectedly and were pointed at and talked about on the way.
"Are these the six idiots? They don't think attending the gala is a good thing, do they?"
"Maybe they're here just for the notebooks and pens."
As soon as these words were spoken, a group of people burst into laughter and looked at the six of them as if they were fools.
Zhang Dongmei gritted her teeth and said, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Can't we just join in?"
Qian Xiaoyan was puzzled: "What on earth are they laughing at?"
Su Xiaoxiao had a very good impression of Qian Xiaoyan and was happy to answer her questions.
"Maybe they think attending this gala is a waste of time with no real benefit, so they think we're stupid."
Qian Xiaoyan was even more confused: "Is it because of this? It's easy. Can't I just ask my dad and my fiancé to sponsor some prizes?"
After her reminder, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly had a good idea.
The reason why everyone doesn't want to attend this gala is simply because it has no substantial benefits other than illusory honors.
Everyone works hard all day and then has to work overtime for free after get off work. Naturally, they are unhappy about it.
If she could get sponsorship, the gala would not only be more grand, but would also greatly motivate the sales staff.
Of course, she did this purely for the sake of the entire department store, not just for the generous prizes.
Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Comrade Qian, your idea is simply great!"
Qian Xiaoyan was puzzled: "What solution? What solution did I say?"
Su Xiaoxiao excitedly shook her hand. "It's about the sponsorship you mentioned. I think it's very feasible. If we can find more organizations willing to provide prizes for the gala, it will surely greatly motivate everyone to attend."
Zhang Dongmei snorted coldly: "You are daydreaming. Who would provide us with prizes for free?"
Zhang Guoqing also scratched his head: "They are not stupid, why would they provide us with party prizes for free?"
Qian Xiaoyan said, "I can convince my father and my fiancé to have their towel and stationery factories sponsor some prizes for free. As for the other factories, I can't do anything about it."
Qin Shuang said, "I can go back and ask my uncle. He's the workshop director at the food factory and should be able to sponsor a batch of cakes."
"Towels, stationery, and cakes aren't particularly rare items, and I'm afraid they wouldn't be very appealing on their own."
Zhang Yulan frowned.
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "How about clothes, pork, and shampoo?"
"These are things everyone can use, and we usually don't buy them, so they're perfect for prizes. But will the factory be willing to sponsor us?"
Zhang Yulan spoke with some uncertainty.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, I have a way to convince them."
When it came to prizes, the first people that came to her mind were the three factory managers she was familiar with.
Li Jianjun, director of the meat processing plant, Li Zhenhua, director of the detergent plant, and Dong Guoqiang, director of the garment factory.
These three are old acquaintances of hers, and she can try to persuade them to become sponsors of this gala.
If we can attract these six sponsors, the prizes for this gala will surely be very rich.
Having made up her mind, Su Xiaoxiao went straight to Chen Meilan's office and told her her idea.
Chen Meilan looked at her with the expression of an elderly person on the subway checking their phone. "Why would they sponsor us for free? It's not even me, even if our general manager were to go, they might not agree. They're not stupid enough to do such a thankless task."
Su Xiaoxiao said, "Director Chen, you don't have to go. I can do it. Although this matter is indeed very difficult, I believe that success depends on human effort. For the honor of our department store, I am willing to give it a try with a thick skin."
"What does my personal reputation mean in the face of collective honor?"
Su Xiaoxiao said this with such passion that Chen Meilan was stunned.
She hadn't expected this little girl to be so enlightened. She had underestimated her before.
"Well said!"
"You, young comrade, are very conscious! What our department store needs most is a thoughtful and responsible comrade like you."
As soon as she finished speaking, a voice of congratulations came from behind them.
Yan Guohua appeared at the office door at some point and was looking at Su Xiaoxiao with a look of satisfaction, his eyes full of affirmation and appreciation.
Behind him were several department managers, all looking at her with admiration.
Su Xiaoxiao blushed a little embarrassedly: "General Manager."
Yan Guohua nodded and walked over to Su Xiaoxiao with a square step. "Comrade Su, right? Don't worry, our department store will never let down any of our employees. If you can accomplish this and successfully secure sponsorship for our gala, you'll definitely be part of the year-end bonus and the outstanding employee selection."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Su Xiaoxiao's face suddenly became more sincere.
If there are tangible benefits, she will definitely work harder.
When Yan Guohua and a group of leaders walked away slowly, the other five people who had been standing behind him as a background immediately stepped forward and surrounded Su Xiaoxiao.
Zhang Guoqing was full of admiration: "Comrade Su, I declare that you will be my idol from now on. I didn't expect that you have such a high level of ideological awareness."
Zhang Dongmei snorted coldly: "Isn't it just soliciting sponsorship? What's the big deal? I can go too."
Just like Su Xiaoxiao said just now, let those manufacturers provide them with free sponsorship of gala prizes, and then they can help promote them at the gala. This will increase their popularity immediately, and it will be a win-win situation for both parties.
The more Zhang Dongmei thought about it, the more she felt that she could do it, and she immediately came up with her own little idea.
