After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

In the conference room of a luxurious hotel, there was a bustling crowd outside the French windows, but the room was so quiet that only the rustling sound of pens rubbing against paper could be heard. Yan Jin crossed her legs elegantly, her eyes fixed on the man opposite her. He was Mr. Zhou of Zhou Group, wearing a straight black suit, and the diamond cufflinks on his wrists reflected a cold light under the light.

"Mr. Zhou, we have carefully studied your request." Xiang Yu pushed a document in front of Mr. Zhou. "Regarding the publicity of the event, we can increase the budget and increase online and offline promotion channels..."

Mr. Zhou nodded without comment, and his slender fingers tapped the table lightly, making a dull sound, like a leopard examining its prey, full of oppression. "Mr. Xiang, you know, I always pursue perfection. For this charity event, I hope to see a grand event, not a small gathering for self-entertainment."

Yan Jin observed Mr. Zhou's expression calmly, with a calm and proper smile on her lips. "Mr. Zhou is right. We also hope that through this event, we can call on more people to pay attention to charity." She paused and said firmly, "So, we invited several celebrities who are very influential in society to participate. I believe that their participation will bring greater influence to the event."

"Stars?" Mr. Zhou raised his eyebrows, seemingly dissatisfied with the answer. "What I want is a lineup that can cause a sensation, not outdated stars to fill in the numbers." His tone was arrogant and a bit contemptuous.

Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in her heart. She knew that Mr. Zhou was deliberately making things difficult for her, but his request was indeed reasonable. After all, no entrepreneur would do a business at a loss. Mr. Zhou was willing to invest and sponsor, so he naturally hoped that the event would have as much influence as possible.

"Mr. Zhou, what kind of star lineup do you want to see?" Xiang Yu broke the brief silence and asked calmly.

President Zhou smiled meaningfully, his eyes swept back and forth between Xiang Yu and Yan Jin, and finally stopped at Yan Jin's delicate face, and slowly said: "I heard that you and the popular movie star Lin Qingya were college classmates, and you had a close relationship..."

Yan Jin's heart suddenly sank, and a bad premonition came over her. Sure enough, President Zhou's next words confirmed her guess: "If you can invite Lin Qingya to participate in this event, I can consider relaxing other conditions."

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and Yan Jin's face turned a little ugly. She didn't expect that Mr. Zhou would make such a request. Lin Qingya was notoriously difficult to deal with in the entertainment industry, and her relationship with Lin Qingya was not as close as Mr. Zhou said. How easy would it be to invite her?

"Boss Zhou, your request..." Yan Jin was about to refuse, but Xiang Yu stopped him. He looked at Boss Zhou with deep eyes and a meaningful tone: "Are you sure that as long as we invite Lin Qingya, you can agree to other conditions?"

Mr. Zhou smiled confidently, as if he had anticipated their reaction: "Of course."

Xiang Yu and Yan Jin exchanged glances, and the tacit understanding between them was self-evident. He knew that Yan Jin and Lin Qingya did not have a good relationship, and asking her to beg humbly was undoubtedly forcing her.

"Mr. Zhou, Miss Lin's schedule is very full recently. We are trying to communicate with her, but we can't guarantee that we can invite her." Xiang Yu said in a steady tone, trying to leave room for negotiation. "However, we can invite other well-known artists. Their influence should not be underestimated..."

"Other artists?" President Zhou waved his hand disapprovingly and interrupted him. "President Xiang, I've made it very clear. I only want Lin Qingya." He paused and said in a playful tone, "If you can't even do this little thing, then I'm afraid we have to reconsider our cooperation."

President Zhou's words were blunt, and the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly dropped to freezing point. Yan Jin tightly grasped the pen in her hand, with a hint of white on her fingertips. She took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and was about to speak, but Xiang Yu gently pressed the back of her hand.

"Mr. Zhou, you are right. Cooperation requires the joint efforts of both parties." Xiang Yu said calmly, "We understand your expectations for the effect of the event, and we will try our best to meet your requirements." He paused and said firmly, "However, we also hope that you can understand that a successful event, in addition to the star effect, is more importantly the meaning and value of the event itself."

Xiang Yu's words were neither humble nor arrogant, but they were sharp, which made President Zhou look sideways. He looked at the young entrepreneur in front of him with interest, as if he wanted to see through his true thoughts under his calm appearance.

"You have a point." Mr. Zhou leaned back in his chair and crossed his fingers. "So, how do you plan to demonstrate the significance and value of this event?"

Xiang Yu and Yan Jin were well prepared. They took out a new plan, elaborated on the theme, content and expected goals of the event, and demonstrated the unique links and creative publicity methods they designed for the event. However, Mr. Zhou seemed unmoved. He just flipped through the plan casually, with a half-smile on his face.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the conference room became more and more tense. The two sides could not reach an agreement on some key issues, and the negotiations came to a stalemate. As time went by, Yan Jin's heart sank a little bit. Did he really have to compromise with President Zhou and ask Lin Qingya for help?

At this moment, Yan Jin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a bold idea emerged in her mind... She glanced at Xiang Yu beside her, took a deep breath, and slowly said: "Mr. Zhou, I have an idea..."

Yan Jin's voice was clear and confident, like a stone thrown into the conference room, breaking the originally stagnant atmosphere.

"Instead of placing all our bets on a single star, we should try a more communicative approach." She smiled, her eyes sparkling with wisdom. "We can use this event to create a public welfare challenge with a clear theme, invite the public and celebrities from all walks of life to participate, and use a more interactive way to convey the concept and values ​​of the event."

Yan Jin spoke slowly but powerfully, expressing her ideas. She proposed combining the event with the popular short video platform, designing a simple and easy-to-participate challenge, and inviting the brand spokesperson of Zhou's company to take the lead in participating, so as to attract public attention through the star effect. At the same time, they will link up with charity organizations to convert the participation in the challenge into charity donations, giving the event a deeper social significance.

The whole plan was cleverly conceived, perfectly integrating publicity, public welfare and entertainment elements, which could not only avoid the risk of inviting Lin Qingya, but also maximize the impact of the event. Mr. Zhou's originally careless attitude gradually became serious. He put down the documents in his hand, leaned forward slightly, and stared at Yan Jin with burning eyes, as if he had a strong interest in what she said.

"This is an interesting idea." Mr. Zhou tapped his fingers on the table and pondered for a moment, "But I need to see the specific implementation plan and expected results before I can make a final decision."

"Of course, we will improve the plan as soon as possible and show you more detailed data analysis and communication strategies." Xiang Yu took over the conversation, his tone calm and confident.

"Very good." Mr. Zhou stood up and straightened his suit. "I hope to see the results within a week. You don't have much time left."

His tone was unquestionable, and he turned and left the meeting room, leaving Xiang Yu and Yan Jin looking at each other in bewilderment. It was a week to complete such a large and complex plan adjustment, and the time was tight.

"We..." Yan Jin just opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Xiang Yu's eyes, "Let's go back to the company first."

As soon as Yan Jin and Xiang Yu returned to the company, they immediately plunged into an intense working state. They knew that time was tight and that Mr. Zhou's requirements were almost harsh, but they had to seize this opportunity to prove their strength.

"We need to make adjustments based on the original plan to highlight the public welfare and interactivity of the challenge." Yan Jin said while quickly writing down the key points. "In addition, we need to contact several suitable short video platforms as soon as possible to discuss cooperation matters."

"I will contact the platform and key opinion leaders (KOL) resources," Xiang Yu thought clearly and assigned tasks, "you will be responsible for perfecting the details of the plan, especially the public welfare cooperation and donation mechanism."

There was no need for words to explain their tacit understanding. With just a glance or a gesture, they could understand each other's thoughts. The lights in the office were on until late at night. Both of them were immersed in their work, completely forgetting the passage of time. Cup after cup of coffee, pile after pile of documents, they were like tireless machines, running at full speed.

Finally, in the early morning of the third day, a brand new activity plan was released. Every detail in the plan was repeatedly scrutinized, and every data was rigorously analyzed. They believed that this plan would definitely impress Mr. Zhou.

However, just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, a sudden phone call broke the brief peace in the office.

"What?!" Yan Jin stood up suddenly, his face suddenly changed, "You said the venue has been booked by someone else?"

The assistant's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yes, Mr. Yan, I just received a notice from the venue manager saying that they made a mistake in the date, and the venue we originally booked has been preempted by another company..."

Yan Jin suddenly felt like she was struck by lightning. This sudden change caught her off guard. The venue was one of the core elements of the entire plan. If there was no suitable venue, all their previous efforts would be wasted...

"I understand. Calm down first. I'll be back soon." Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

After hanging up the phone, she turned to look at Xiang Yu and said in a serious tone: "There is a problem with the venue..."
