Chapter XXV
After Xiao Lin edited the recruitment plan that Zhang Qingwei had sent over, he made a copy and put it into the USB drive. He called Zhao Ruixu to the fat man's photocopying shop and printed out fifteen copies, one for each director and department head. The two of them sat on the first floor of the second canteen ten minutes earlier than the scheduled meeting time, waiting for the others to arrive.
At this time, the second canteen was already bustling with people. People were sitting in every corner. Probably because the second canteen was located in the center, every dormitory building was not very far away. In addition, the second canteen closed late at night, and the seats were quite clean. It seemed that the school had given it the responsibility of providing food and a suitable place for student club activities. Most of them were clubs having meetings. Some small areas were a little quiet, but most of them were having heated discussions.
Xiao Lin stood up and looked around. Seeing a few familiar faces, he smiled and greeted them.
"Ruixu, do you know any of the Level 12 freshmen?”Xiao Lin sat down and asked.
Zhao Ruixu thought for a moment and said," Three or four. I remember that one of them is from the School of Finance and Economics. There's also one from the School of Political Science and Law. The other one is from our school. My high school classmate introduced him to me. Why?"”
"That's great. Let's see if they can help promote the International Business Club in class.”Xiao Lin looked at Quan Xiaoya, who walked in from the entrance of the cafeteria. She was looking for Xiao Lin and the others in the crowd. Xiao Lin waved at her and gestured for her to come over.
Xiao Ya, you're here." He said to Zhao Ruixu, who was turning his head.
"Xiao Ya, please sit. You're early. This is our Level 12 recruitment plan.”Xiao Lin handed her a copy." I remember you telling me that you went to Hainan during the summer vacation. How was it there? Did you encounter a turtle on the beach?”
"I'm not that cool. I'm a car model for the auto show every day. Can't you see that my face is tanned now?”
"No way. She's as fair as ever. There's no sign of her tanning at all. What do you think, Ruixu?”Zhao Ruixu quickly nodded in agreement.
"Brother Xiao, don't you think I'm fair?”Tan Pei suddenly appeared from behind Xiao Lin and sat on his left. He teased Xiao Lin," I think I heard you guys discussing who is fairer."”
"You, you're so black and you're just joining in the fun. You're not as white as our Xiao Ya's pinky finger.”Xiao Lin joked with him.
"What's your relationship? Brother Lin, you even know that. You're really not simple.”Quan Xiaoya laughed.
The rest of the people arrived one after another before nine o'clock, except for the heads of two departments who called Xiao Lin to tell him that they were on their way. Xiao Lin sent a proposal to each of the directors and ministers present and asked them to browse through it first while waiting for those who had not arrived yet. Xiao Lin opened his notebook and sorted out the work that he would assign to each department later. After waiting for about five minutes, the remaining two people had also arrived. With an apologetic expression, they explained to Xiao Lin why they were late.
Xiao Lin held the recruitment plan in his hand and sat up straight."Now that everyone is here, please set your phone to silent mode to avoid being interrupted by the ringtone during the meeting.”
As he spoke, Xiao Lin took the lead and set his phone to silent mode. He looked calmly at the club members on both sides and communicated with them with his eyes.
"First of all, I want to make it clear that we are all from the same batch. We can be good friends in life, but as a club, especially a new club, we must have a strict system. Our original intention was to create a club that was different from the rest, so I hope that we won't be late for meetings in the future. After recruiting new students this time, there will be new students in every department. The directors and ministers have to set an example and play an exemplary role.”
Xiao Lin stopped, picked up his notebook, and continued,"" Also, I found that other than the office director Quan Xiaoya, the publicity department head Zhong Min, the planning department head Zhang Qingwei, and of course, me, everyone else came empty-handed. Taking notes during meetings is a basic requirement. I hope that this situation won't happen again.”
Xiao Lin glanced at her and looked at Quan Xiaoya." Xiaoya, take the meeting notes tonight and send them to the group. Those who didn't take notes can go back and read them.”
Xiao Lin took out the proposal and showed it to everyone." The 2012 recruitment proposal that each of us is holding in our hands was sent to me by the planning department head, Zhang Qingwei, a few days ago." It's written very well and covers a wide range. The considerations are also very comprehensive. However, if everyone has other different ideas and opinions, you can also raise them. We will brainstorm and strive to perfect the recruitment work and implement it in place.”
Xiao Lin opened his laptop." Next, I'll assign the recruitment tasks to each department. The first is the publicity department. Your department will produce a banner, two hand-drawn posters, and an electronic poster before the night of the 7th. Director Murong Yan would be in charge of the flyers and pamphlets, and the finished product would be ready before the 7th. "In addition, your department needs to strengthen the publicity on the online platform. In the various welcoming groups, on Weibo, and on Renren, you have to update your status every day and interact more with the new students.”Zhong Min nodded and took notes seriously.
" Office, Xiao Ya. Remember, your department is mainly responsible for the communication function, which is to maintain contact with our internal members so that some information can be transmitted to various departments in time. "Also, when you're recruiting new students, go and issue interviews, written tests, and notices of admission results. The workload is also heavy and huge. It's very difficult for the two of you to do it alone. You can recruit some new students who have applied to your office and let them issue notices together. Reduce your workload, but you must ensure that the information you send is consistent and there are no errors.”
"Alright, understood." Quan Xiaoya looked at Xiao Lin and said.
" General Affairs Department, make our work permits first. Vader, I'll send the designed work permits to your email when I get back. Print it out first, then go to the stationery store to buy the corresponding plastic case. Write it and put it inside. The work permits can be used to facilitate our publicity when we go to the dormitory. It can also be considered as a symbol of identity. "In addition, your department will also have to assist the other departments in their work.”Xiao Lin looked at David with a heavy responsibility.
"The work of the technical department will focus on the training after the recruitment. In the early stages, prepare the resume form, interview, and written test questions. After you're done, send it to Director Zhao Ruixu. Remember to prepare questions that are representative. It's best to involve the ideas and concepts advocated by the International Business Club, topics related to employment, start-ups, and so on.”Zheng Ning took out his phone and recorded it.
"Human Resources Department, Tian Peng, the first thing you have to do is to get the building and floor information of the freshmen's dormitory. You can get this information from the Dormitory Management Department. I'll go with you when the time comes. Secondly, you have to make a work schedule for the recruitment and arrange it according to the free time at the office. Also, for the check-in work, send me the list of those who have not arrived. Lastly, he had to sort out the registration of Level 12 freshmen according to the department they had chosen and hand it over to the office director.”
"There's still the Planning Department, External Relations Department, and Culture and Sports Department. Your most important job is to plan the first large-scale event of our International Business Club after the recruitment, the Welcome Party. This is of great importance and directly determines the fate of a portion of the new students. Director Tan Pei will be in charge of this. The Planning Department will come up with a detailed plan for the gala during our recruitment period. The External Relations Department will focus on getting sponsors, including banners, prizes, and cash. The possibility of that is low, but we can still try. The Culture and Sports Department will organize the programs submitted by the various departments, give them a program list, arrange the sequence of the programs, and review all the programs. From the rehearsal to the official performance, the Culture and Sports Department will have to master every detail. To hold a successful gala, we need to put in a lot of effort.”
After Xiao Lin finished speaking, Li Chuqin raised her hand and asked,""Chairman, I would like to ask, what do we need to do in the early stages of recruitment?”
"That's what I'm going to say later. After the new students report, aren't we going to the dormitory to distribute flyers for publicity? Your Culture and Sports Department will gather all the heads and deputy heads of each department to do etiquette training. From the aspects of dressing, speech and behavior, you must leave a good image for the freshmen. Because you represent the image of the International Business Club, I think this etiquette training is very necessary.”
Xiao Lin took out his phone and looked at the time. There was a missed call from Bai Bingying." Director Pei, do you have anything to add?"”
Tan Pei turned around and said,"I think if we want to have an impact on the gala, we definitely have to spend money. Money is very important." I reckon that the school and the academy will find it very difficult to approve a lot of money for us to hold a party. "Then we can try to follow the tradition of other clubs and let the new students pay the membership fee. Considering that we're the first batch and the attraction is relatively small, we don't have to charge 20 yuan per person like other clubs. We'll only charge 10 yuan per person and explain to them that it's used to make work passes and bonus points…"
While Tan Pei was attracting everyone's attention, Xiao Lin placed his phone under the table and sent a text message to Bai Bingying." Sorry, Yingying. I was in a meeting and didn't hear it. I'll call you after the meeting.”
"No, I'm coming to find you now. Where are you?”Bai Bingying immediately replied.
Xiao Lin could only tell her and put away his phone. He listened to Tan Pei say,"If we plan to recruit 80 students, and each department has an average of 10 people, that would be 800 yuan. We don't have to worry about funding.”
"Tan Pei is right. I agree. We can't just rely on the school and the teachers 'resources. However, it doesn't mean that we don't need it. We can meet our needs through our own development. For example, last semester, Murong Yan led a team to participate in the Wahaha Marketing Competition in Jiangxi Province. The bonus of 250 yuan will be used to recruit new employees. "It's still desirable to raise funds through learning. It's better to gather more money. Moreover, we're taking it from the people and using it for the people. But in the end, we still need to do a good job in the early stages of publicity and recruitment. Recruiting new students is the key.”
Xiao Lin paused for a moment." For this, we still need to put in more effort. A few days ago, I promised Teacher Fu that I would go to the academy tomorrow afternoon to help pack the freshmen's file bags. Send one person from each department to gather at the academy at 3:30. I'll be there too. We'll all volunteer for the orientation on the 8th. Not only will we be able to promote the club, but we'll also be able to increase everyone's conduct points. It'll be very helpful for getting a scholarship.”
As Xiao Lin spoke, he glanced at the entrance of the second dining hall facing the six dormitory buildings. He saw Bai Bingying sitting not far away from him. She was holding her chin with her right hand, winking at Xiao Lin and smiling at him. Xiao Lin nodded slightly, indicating that he had already seen her.
"Alright, do you have any questions? If not, the meeting will end here tonight. Go back and start preparing. If you have any questions, contact your director directly. I hope everyone will do their best to make our club work.”Xiao Lin stood up, and the others followed suit.
The girls left together. Xiao Lin shook hands with a few boys and pulled Murong Yan, saying,"" Flamy, can I trouble you tonight to help me get the single page out first? I plan to put it in the freshmen's folder tomorrow. The content of the single page doesn't need to be too much. It's best if it's simple and clear, but it has to be unique so that the freshmen can leave a first impression after receiving it.”
"I'll go back and do it now." Murong Yan agreed and went back with Tan Pei.
After everyone else left, Bai Bingying walked up to Zhao Ruixu and greeted him politely.
"You guys chat, I'll go back to the dormitory first.”Zhao Ruixu helped Xiao Lin take the notebook and the proposal and left. As soon as Zhao Ruixu left, Bai Bingying came forward and held Xiao Lin's arm.
"When did you become so clingy? What's wrong? Something's on my mind." Xiao Lin rubbed her little nose and said.
"It's none of your business. I just like to stick to you, can't I?”Bai Bingying said coquettishly.
"As long as you like it." Xiao Lin smiled and shook his head." Have you had dinner?”She nodded vigorously like a little girl, as if she was answering a parent's question.
"Alright, let's go for a walk." Xiao Lin went to the fashion bakery to buy a cup of banana milk and a cup of iced watermelon juice at room temperature. He handed the milk to Bai Bingying, and the two of them walked leisurely on the road between Weiyi Building and the library. They walked aimlessly.
The most romantic moment between lovers was to hold hands and stroll leisurely under the starry night sky. A gentle breeze blew past, carrying the refreshing fragrance of osmanthus. The road was filled with the silver light of the lights and moonlight.
There were only a few words left in their conversation, but they did not seem bored or awkward because of the silence. It was as if their hearts were connected. Even if he did not say it out loud, he knew what the other party was thinking. The intimacy between their skin was a silent tacit understanding. There was no need to guess too much. He could only relax and feel comfortable.
"Turn left." Xiao Lin, who was familiar with Bai Bingying's habits, subconsciously led her to turn left at every intersection. Walking to the side of the lake, Xiao Lin found a spot with a few people on it. He took out a tissue from his bag and wiped it clean before letting Bai Bingying sit down.
Xiao Lin looked at the lake with a serious expression as he listened to Bai Bingying share some happy things that happened during the summer vacation with him. Xiao Lin laughed with her, but he didn't interrupt her. He was thinking about how to put the International Business Club's flyer in the folder without the student council members knowing.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? You're absent-minded." Bai Bingying shook Xiao Lin's hand and said unhappily," If you ignore me, I won't bother with you."”
Xiao Lin laughed." I'm listening. You're saying that Uncle pretended to be angry last time and said that he would marry you to a submarine crew member?”Xiao Lin deliberately referred to Bai Bingying as a submarine crew.
"Laugh, you only know how to laugh." Seeing her pouting and looking angry, Xiao Lin couldn't help but laugh." Alright, you're not allowed to laugh anymore. I'm really going to get angry."”
Bai Bingying turned her head away from Xiao Lin, but she still heard his laughter." Why are you still laughing? I don't need you to accompany me."”She stood up and left the stone slab, walking over the small bridge to the other side of the lake.
Xiao Lin picked up her bag and hesitated for two minutes before standing up and following her. "Yingying, your bag is still with me. Do you want to give it to me?”Xiao Lin shouted at Bai Bingying.
"I'm not giving it to you." Bai Bingying stopped and turned around to look at Xiao Lin." Stop, don't come over."”
Xiao Lin could only stop in his tracks." Darling, I was wrong. I shouldn't have laughed. It's all my fault."”As he spoke, Xiao Lin still couldn't control his laughter.
"Look, you're smiling." Bai Bingying pointed at her dimples.
"If I don't laugh, what do you want me to do to make me come over?”Xiao Lin focused on the white ice under the light. Even though there were people coming and going on the bridge from time to time, it didn't seem to disturb them.
"I want you to walk over with your eyes closed, and you have to promise not to peek, then I'll forgive you.”Bai Bingying said in a relaxed tone.
"I promise you." After waiting for a small number of pedestrians to leave, Xiao Lin estimated the length and width of the bridge. It was about tens of meters long and three to four meters wide.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes tightly. He walked forward step by step and calculated the remaining distance in his heart. Listening to the creaking sounds of his own footsteps on the wooden planks, as well as the light footsteps coming from the front, Xiao Lin revealed a knowing smile and strode forward.
"Stop it, fool." Bai Bingying pulled Xiao Lin aside and said," If you keep going forward, you'll hit the guardrail and fall into the lake. You fool."”
Xiao Lin opened his eyes and looked back. He was surprised to find that the direction he had set off in had deviated a lot. He had walked diagonally. He had always thought that he was walking in the middle of the road. Xiao Lin shook his head, exclaiming at the huge difference between his imagination and reality, but he still thought that there was no deviation.
Xiao Lin stretched out his arms and hugged Bai Bingying, kissing her earlobe affectionately." Silly girl, I always knew that you were by my side, and I also knew that you definitely couldn't bear to see me fall.”
"You're so bad. Did you peek?”Bai Bingying said as she leaned into Xiao Lin's embrace.
Xiao Lin let go of her and held her hand. He pointed at the eight pillars and said to her,""Yingying, let's go over there for a walk, okay?”
Bai Bingying obediently followed Xiao Lin's footsteps and walked towards the stone pillar that was shining with golden light. Standing under the towering stone pillar, Xiao Lin raised his head and closed his eyes, feeling the vicissitudes of the times and the great historical rings of the National Zhongcheng University. Xiao Lin suddenly had an impulsive thought. He wanted it to witness his love with Bai Bingying. He faced the library and took a deep breath."Bai Bingying, I love you."
Bai Bingying was stunned by Xiao Lin's sudden action. She stared at his side profile in a daze. After a while, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek. Then, she quickly pulled his arm.
"Alright, alright, I got it. Let's go.”Bai Bingying lowered her head shyly when she saw the gazes of the people around her. However, Xiao Lin didn't care at all. He was happily dragged away by Bai Bingying.
"Don't be stupid again in the future. It's embarrassing to have so many people watching.”On the way back, she said to Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin hugged Bai Bingying tightly and watched her walk in. He stood under the streetlight and looked at the balcony of Bai Bingying's dormitory, waiting for her to appear. When he saw her looking for him under the light, Xiao Lin waved at her and turned back to his dormitory.
Back in the dorm, Zhou Xiaobo told Xiao Lin that Murong Yan had come to see him before he came back. Xiao Lin guessed that it should be about the flyer. He turned on his computer and checked his email. There was an email from Murong Yan. Xiao Lin downloaded it and placed it on his desktop.
He carefully looked at the single page that Murong Yan had designed and deleted some unnecessary sentences. In addition, he added a photo taken by Xu Zeng when he was interviewed by the school TV station to promote the International Business Club. After he was satisfied with the modification, Xiao Lin copied it and put it into the USB drive, preparing to print it tomorrow and bring it over.
"Flamy, I saw the email you sent. The design of the single page is very good. It's really efficient.”Xiao Lin gave Murong Yan a call.
"Brother Lin instructed us to be efficient. It's just that time is a little tight, and there might be some areas that need to be modified. If it doesn't work, I'll design another one.”Murong Yan said modestly.
After working together for half a year, not only did Murong Yan put away his arrogance, but it also improved their friendship. Xiao Lin thought that this might be the true meaning of setting up an international business club. It allowed different people to show their strengths and find a sense of existence, and also provided a platform for mutual communication and communication. People who might not have had the chance to get to know each other could get to know each other and learn from each other through the club.
The next day, Xiao Lin took the printed flyer and arrived at the Institute of International Education a little earlier than the agreed time. He first went to Teacher Fu Junfeng's office. Coincidentally, the president of the student union was also there. Teacher Fu introduced them to each other and assigned work to the two clubs.
Xiao Lin came out of the office and stood in the hall, waiting for the others to come over. Perhaps because Xiao Lin had mentioned a few things about being late during the meeting last night, all the members on the list sent to Xiao Lin by the office arrived on time.
"It's very good that everyone can appear here on time today.”Xiao Lin stood in front of them and said," Now that everyone is here, let me assign the tasks we have to complete this afternoon. Later on, the boys will follow me to Teacher Fu's office to move the documents and file bags down. Then, the nine of us will be divided into three groups, with three people in each group. Two people will be responsible for putting the information sorted out by the third person into the file bag. The one I'm holding is our club's flyer. Remember to put it in together later, but try not to let the student union know to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.”
"Chairman, do you want us to secretly put it inside?”a girl joked.
Xiao Lin smiled." We're not thieves. Why would we be sneaky? We're just trying to keep it original. We don't want others to imitate us." Don't be so curious. Just do your job well.”
Xiao Lin guessed that the student council definitely hadn't thought of this aspect. When he first reported to the university, he didn't find any club flyers in his folder.
According to Xiao Lin's plan, over 400 flyers were placed into the folder that they had packed. The implementation of every idea gave Xiao Lin more confidence in becoming an international business club.
