Chapter 3842: Chapter 3830: Grand Occasion
The expressions of the three were somewhat heavy, and Chu Hao said:
"How could this happen all of a sudden? Is someone causing trouble behind the scenes?"
"It’s really possible," Ma Guotao said, "otherwise, they wouldn’t suddenly say they’re not coming."
"It’s pointless to say this now. At the very least, the people I invited haven’t said they won’t come," Zhao Jing said:
"None of you should panic, go take care of your own things first. If it really doesn’t work, just bring in some people to fill the crowd. We might not have the substance, but we must save face."
"Got it."
The two left, and Zhao Jing kept checking her phone frequently, afraid that someone would call and say they weren’t coming to the sponsorship event.
"Director Zhao."
Just then, a bright laugh came.
Zhao Jing turned her head towards the door and saw a not very tall, middle-aged man with a beer belly and a balding hairstyle walking in from the outside.
The man’s name was Xu Yonglu, and he ran a beverage factory specializing in selling freshly squeezed juice.
Though not a well-known large enterprise, it had some recognition in the market.
He was also an important figure in today’s investment conference.
Because during previous discussions, a basic advertising plan had already been finalized, with a budget of 2 million for promotion.
"Chairman Xu, you’ve finally arrived. We’ve been expecting you for a long time."
Seeing Xu Yonglu, Zhao Jing enthusiastically walked over.
"It’s your first time being a producer. Of course, I had to come to support you."
Zhao Jing smiled as she tidied her hair, "Thank you, Chairman Xu, for supporting my work. I’ve reserved a front-row seat for you, please come inside."
"No rush," Xu Yonglu said with a chuckle, "Director Zhao, are you free tonight? I’ve asked you out for dinner several times before, but you’ve always been busy and never had the chance. Do you have time today?"
Zhao Jing’s expression changed slightly.
She knew exactly what Xu Yonglu was implying but didn’t expect him to make such a request at this time.
"I may be a bit busy today. After the sponsorship event, I’ll invite Chairman Xu for dinner separately."
"Well..."
Xu Yonglu feigned difficulty, "Director Zhao, I’m actually very busy, too. Today is the only time I can make, and if we reschedule, my time might not allow it."
"We’ve known each other for so long; there’s no rush for a moment. When Chairman Xu has time in the future, just give me a call, and I’ll definitely arrange that meal."
"So, Director Zhao, you really can’t make time today, can you?"
"As you can see, it’s the day of the sponsorship event, and so many people are here today; I really don’t have the time. But I promise I’ll arrange the dinner for sure."
"Alright then, let’s reschedule. In fact, I’m quite busy today, too; I have to dine with a leader. Let’s plan for another time when you’re not busy. I’ll be leaving first."
"Chairman Xu, what’s going on? You’re leaving without attending the sponsorship event?"
"You know I’m always busy, but I will definitely save face for Director Zhao. I’ll let my driver participate in your sponsorship event later to ensure you won’t have an empty venue. At least I’ll send a representative to support you," Xu Yonglu said with a smile.
"This..."
Zhao Jing was furious inside, cursing Xu Yonglu for being a small-minded backstabber.
But at such a crucial moment, she did need his presence for support.
If she didn’t have dinner with him tonight, nothing would come of it.
"Is the ’Time Concert’ sponsorship event being held here?"
Hearing a voice from the door, Zhao Jing looked at the speaker, someone unfamiliar to her.
"Yes, and you are...?"
"Hello, we’re from Wanshan Dairy, coming to attend the sponsorship event."
Wanshan Dairy!
Zhao Jing’s heart suddenly raced; this was the leading dairy company in the country. Her little show didn’t have the chance to be sponsored by them, but unexpectedly, they came on their own.
Could someone else have contacted them?
But who could have such a great influence to reach such companies?
"Excellent, come inside. I’ll arrange a seat for you."
Zhao Jing called over Chu Hao, asking him to arrange front-row seats for the people from Wanshan Dairy.
The sudden joy made her forget the unpleasantness.
They came on their own, and there’s a possibility of sponsorship.
As Zhao Jing was immersing herself in happiness, she saw three more people walking towards her.
"You are also here for the sponsorship event, right?"
"That’s right, we’re from Huashuo Electronics."
"We’re from Pepsi."
After hearing the introductions from the two groups, Zhao Jing’s heart raced even faster. These were all well-known large companies, and they had all come.
"Please come inside. I’ll arrange front-row seats for you."
"Thanks so much, Director Zhao."
One after another, many more people arrived at the venue, and Zhao Jing was busy organizing everyone who came.
By rough estimation, over a dozen top-listed companies had shown up.
Moreover, these people weren’t on her contact list, nor did they announce their visit in advance; they just came on their own.
This kind of unexpected joy left Zhao Jing unable to describe her feelings.
This was something she never dared to dream of, feeling as if some mysterious force was assisting her.
"Chairman Xu, I’m really sorry. You can see how busy it is here. I really can’t invite you for dinner today. If you don’t have the time, let your driver come up. You can go ahead with your own affairs, and I’ll arrange a seat for him now."
Xu Yonglu’s expression was somewhat awkward.
He originally thought his company would be the biggest sponsor for this program, not expecting so many big firms to show up!
How did Zhao Jing get in touch with them?
With this many people here, staying could help expand his circle, which would be beneficial for his business.
"I just remembered the meeting I had yesterday got canceled, so I can spare some time to attend your sponsorship event," Xu Yonglu said with a hearty laugh:
"No matter what, we’ve known each other for many years, and a promise is a promise."
"The main thing is, as you can see, so many people are here. I really don’t have the time to dine with you tonight."
"No worries, when you have time in the future, there’s no rush for now."
"Chairman Xu, please come inside. I’ll arrange a seat for you."
"Okay, okay, you carry on with your work. I won’t take up your time."
Xu Yonglu left awkwardly.
Chu Hao jogged over.
"Director, your connections are incredible! To get this many people, we’ve already hit the 30 million mark, and with this turnout today, reaching 50 million shouldn’t be a problem."
"I don’t know where these people came from; I hadn’t contacted them before."
