Chapter 738: Chapter 757: An Unorthodox Approach
Perhaps because the call had gone on for so long, Meimei and Wanxing’s voices could now be heard from Qian Xingxing’s end.
"What’s going on?" Meimei seemed to have suddenly leaned closer, her tone a bit sharp. "Who have you been talking to for so long?"
However, the moment she got closer and saw the name on Qian Xingxing’s terminal, Meimei’s expression changed instantly. Her scrutinizing look softened into a relaxed one, and her voice rose in pitch. "Are you talking with Qiuqiu?"
"Doesn’t Qiuqiu have class today? How does she have time to talk with you?"
Wanxing, who had been waiting nearby, heard Qiuqiu’s name and also leaned in curiously. "Is that Qiuqiu? What are you all talking about? The livestream?"
And just like that, two more people squeezed into the two-person conversation, turning it into a four-person chatroom.
They were still on the topic of sponsorship. As an upperclassman at Federation University—and a "Money Jar" major, no less—Wanxing confirmed what Qian Xingxing had said. "We can drop the sponsorship idea. Since the university was founded, the Mecha Department and the Spirit Healing Department have never accepted sponsorships from any private corporations."
Forget private corporations; even sponsorships from the nobles are rare.
"Generally speaking, those two departments only accept funding from the Military Department and the Imperial Family."
’Okay, looking at it that way, sponsorship really isn’t a good idea.’
"Then I’ll just fund it myself." ’It’s better to do it myself than to make things too complicated.’
"Not necessarily." That plan had failed, but another was already forming in Wanxing’s mind. "This is still an excellent opportunity to promote the company."
Wanxing truly was the woman who once aimed to conquer the starry sea of the business world and stir up storms in her circle; she quickly came up with an unconventional plan. "Donating money to the school as a sponsorship isn’t allowed, so how about we donate natural food to that Star System instead?"
"I’ve heard about this Spirit Healing Department event before. The free clinic trip to a Remote Star System isn’t just held by our school; it should be a joint event organized by the Federation universities. Federation News goes there to conduct interviews every year."
"I just did a quick search. The interviews usually get front-page coverage, and Federation News will feature it on their Star Network account for about 10 to 15 days."
"Perfect. Doesn’t our factory on the Low-level Star have a batch of vegetables that just ripened? We can donate that batch, too." ’Using the products of a poverty relief program to support a public welfare event—how inspiring is that.’
"But we still don’t know which star system we’re going to, right?"
Wanxing hummed in agreement. "So, the final gatekeeper is probably Dean Zhu. Qiuqiu will have to be the one to ask. If Dean Zhu tells her, then this plan can work. If he refuses, then Qiuqiu will just pay for it herself. What do you think?"
"Okay, in that case, I’ll go ask the dean."
"This is a lot for you, Qiuqiu. It’s not enough that you’re working so hard on your livestreams to attract fans, now you have to worry about company promotions too." Meimei sighed. Then again, it was their own company’s fault for being too weak; they were constantly being crushed by Qian Duoduo in the livestreaming field.
"It’s fine. In fact, with this event, we’ve already won." Wanxing remained the analyst. "Even if the company doesn’t provide a sponsorship, Qiuqiu going to the Remote Star is a guaranteed ace in the hole."
Who could refuse such a "delicious" treatment?
"When the time comes, Federation News will definitely interview Qiuqiu." Qiuqiu was already somewhat famous on the Star Network; she would surely be recognized.
Once they stir up some public opinion, a trending topic like "Jiang Qiuqiu—Top Streamer of the New Star App" would be practically guaranteed.
Once New Star gets its name out there, subsidiaries like Taobao Food are sure to gain a wave of publicity as well.
"You have a point."
"So, Qiuqiu, just ask casually. If the dean won’t say, then just drop it."
"Okay, I know how to handle it. I’m going to hang up now." After ending the group call, she immediately sent a communication request to Dean Zhu.
