"No, no, no, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean eight was too few," Chen Mian quickly explained. "In the past, the entire External Relations Department only managed to secure sponsorship from about ten companies combined, and some even changed their minds at the last minute. The fact that you were able to secure eight sponsorships in such a short time is truly impressive, and shows how eloquent you are."
"Yeah?"
Xia Xi didn't know what the standard for sponsorship was, she only heard Zhou Xiaoyu say the more the better.
"Of course." Chen Mian was very supportive.
"I wonder if there's any reward for completing the task so well."
When Xia Xi spoke, she deliberately looked at Xu Yanfeng, with expectation in her eyes. Since she was so amazing, couldn't he, the president of the student union, praise her?
The three people in the back row squeezed together and acted like invisible people.
Xia Xi's hopes were doomed to fail. Xu Yanfeng acted as if he hadn't heard her and remained silent. Xia Xi wasn't about to give up so easily. She called out their names directly: "Senior Xu? Chairman Xu? Xu Yanfeng?"
Xu Yanfeng was almost annoyed by her and finally broke down: "After the event is over, I'll have someone leave you a set of debate competition peripheral gifts."
Xia Xi: “…”
Whoever wants peripheral gifts, she wants to be his girlfriend.
Even if they can't be each other's girlfriend for the time being, it's okay for him to treat her to a meal.

At ten o'clock sharp, Xia Xi rushed into the dormitory building before it closed. She sent a message to Zhou Xiaoyu while going upstairs. Because she was in a good mood, she spoke without any thorns and reported honestly.
Xia Xi: "Minister, my task is completed. Do you need me to take a picture of the form for you now?"
Xia Xi was a tough nut to crack. Zhou Xiaoyu didn't believe she could complete the task in the rain. She probably just managed to get a sponsor and came back. She didn't send a message until ten o'clock: "How many did you get?"
Xia Xi: "Eight families."
There was silence on the other end. No more messages came in, and no one asked to see the form.
Xia Xi knew that when she reported this result, Zhou Xiaoyu would have nothing to say.
The next day, Xia Xi went to class as usual. During break, Zhou Xiaoyu came to her to get the form. Xia Xi was extremely puzzled. How could Zhou Xiaoyu be so diligent? It was her style to just send a message on WeChat and ask her to deliver it personally.
Although he had doubts, Xia Xi still gave her the form.
After getting the things, Zhou Xiaoyu turned around and left without saying a word.
A week later, the debate competition was about to begin, and the student union held another meeting to ensure that all aspects were prepared properly and there were no omissions.
The Publicity Department gave Xu Yanfeng several versions of the promotional posters for his review, and he finalized the final version, which would be posted on bulletin boards across campus. The External Relations Department bound the sponsorship forms into a book and handed it to Xu Yanfeng.
As the department head, Zhou Xiaoyu reported to him, "We've secured quite a lot of sponsorship this time. Everyone in our department has secured one to three sponsorships, except Xia Xi."
Xia Xi thought Zhou Xiaoyu had a change of heart and was about to praise her for completing half the department's work by herself. But Zhou Xiaoyu changed the subject and said, "I arranged for her to go to Huaixi Pedestrian Street to solicit sponsorship. She kept saying it was too late and it wasn't safe for a girl to go alone, then she kept saying she'd go the next day. In the end, she didn't get anything done, so I had to go to Huaixi Pedestrian Street by myself. I don't understand why someone like her, who only plays around and doesn't do anything, would join the External Relations Department."
Xia Xi: “???”
What did she say?
