Chapter 122 Letter
"Mr. Chen, it's all my fault for performing so poorly and wasting this opportunity."
As soon as he stepped out of the office, Lu Xiuyang began to apologize with a sense of shame.
"It's alright, this can't be entirely blamed on you. Your performance only accounted for a small part of it," Chen Che comforted her.
"It seems to me that Yin Mei is indeed not interested in our project, and the reasons she gave should be true. There's no need for her to lie to us students."
Chen Che's words offered Lu Xiuyang some comfort, but he added the next second:
"Of course, when such an unexpected situation occurs, your rhythm is completely disrupted, which is something you need to pay more attention to and improve. You should practice more in similar situations in the future."
"Hmm," Lu Xiuyang nodded, then asked with a troubled look, "So, Mr. Chen, what should we do next? It seems difficult to get things moving with the Auditing Institute."
"There's always a way to solve it. As the old saying goes, as long as you don't give up, there's always a way out," Chen Che said with a smile.
However, mere wishful thinking wouldn't suffice; he needed to find a way to get things moving. So he continued speaking to Lu Xiuyang:
"Just continue with your previous promotional plan; I'll figure out the rest."
"Okay," Lu Xiuyang nodded in agreement.
Back in his office at the incubator, Chen Che rested his chin on his hand and quietly pondered for a while how to break the current deadlock.
After much deliberation, the question finally fell to one person, so I immediately took out my phone and called him: "Hello, Secretary Yan, this is Xiao Chen. Do you have time today to listen to my progress report?"
"...Okay, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Che prepared his words a little in advance and rushed to Yan Zhengsheng's office.
He knocked respectfully on the door and entered the office, where Chen Che gave a briefing on the current development of the "French Fries at the Hour" service.
The Institute of Technology has reached a relatively saturated state, and its external sales and procurement channels have been basically opened up. The next step is to expand from the Institute of Technology to the surrounding areas and even the entire city.
"Hmm," Yan Zhengsheng nodded in satisfaction. It had only been a few months, but Zhengdian Fries had developed quite rapidly. He then asked directly and decisively, "So, what problem have you encountered this time?"
Chen Che was taken aback, then smiled and pretended to cover it up, saying, "Secretary Yan, what are you saying? Can't I come and report to you on the recent situation if I haven't encountered any problems?"
Yan Zhengsheng glanced at him without changing his expression and said in a calm tone, "Oh, now that you've finished your report, you can leave."
Chen Che was certainly not going to leave. He hadn't even raised the issue yet, let alone solved it. So he quickly smiled obsequiously and said, "Hehe, Secretary Yan, you're right, there's something I really need your guidance on."
Yan Zhengsheng's lips curled up slightly, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes before disappearing. He could tell what kind of person came to him for help and what their mindset was just by looking at them.
Someone like Chen Che, who is thoughtful and efficient, would only come to me when he encounters a problem, and reporting on his work would be a convenient side effect. This way, two things can be resolved in one meeting.
Chen Che briefly recounted the situation with Yin Mei, then quietly awaited Yan Zhengsheng's judgment.
At that moment, the only sound echoing in the office was the gentle tapping of Yan Zhengsheng's fingertips on the desk.
When the sound stopped, Yan Zhengsheng had already made up his mind, but he still asked first, "Xiao Chen, what are your thoughts?"
Since it was just the two of them, Chen Che didn't need to do anything to deliberately hide his abilities and said directly, "I think the leaders of our Industrial College and the Auditing College must know each other, right?"
"So I'd like you to help me connect with Professor Gong and see if we can start from his side, communicate with Professor Yin Mei, and see if there's any chance to move this matter forward."
"The idea is good," Yan Zhengsheng nodded, indicating that the direction was correct, but the form needed to be discussed.
"What you're doing is essentially asking Professor Gong for help through his personal connections. Do you have that kind of relationship with him? Let me clarify, I only recently started interacting with Professor Gong through your project."
Yan Zhengsheng was very straightforward, saying whatever came to mind, and treating Chen Che as a friend rather than a student.
"That's not what I meant," Chen Che explained. "The 'Fries Now' platform has achieved real and tangible results in its current phase of development."
"I hope that Professor Gong can objectively acknowledge this point and then help issue a letter on behalf of the university, representing the School of Engineering's expectations for this project, and hoping that other universities can provide appropriate support."
"If I go talk to Teacher Yin Mei again, I feel the chances will be better."
Yan Zhengsheng nodded in agreement after listening to Chen Che's analysis, as it almost perfectly aligned with his own thoughts.
Moreover, the letter issued in the name of the school is not only applicable to the School of Auditing, but can also be used when it is extended to other universities in the city.
Because of the school's endorsement, the relevant personnel will more or less take this into consideration and will not easily refuse; at the very least, they will call to confirm.
"Sure," Yan Zhengsheng nodded readily and said, "I can talk to Teacher Gong about it. I think there shouldn't be any problem."
With Yan Zhengsheng's promise, Chen Che felt reassured and quickly expressed his gratitude.
Yan Zhengsheng waved his hand and continued, "Don't be too happy yet. This is only one aspect. What Teacher Yin Mei said also makes sense."
"You need to think about what value your project can bring to the school and society. You need to think about it carefully. This is the most direct way to impress her. I don't need to say more about this, right?"
Upon Yan Zhengsheng's prompting, Chen Che immediately understood and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Understood, Secretary Yan."
"Hmm." Yan Zhengsheng nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand, indicating that Chen Che could leave and go about his own business.
He also needed to get this matter moving as soon as possible, so after Chen Che left and he finished dealing with a few higher priority matters, he immediately called Gong Cheng.
Logically speaking, Chen Che could also go to Gong Cheng, but he was, after all, a student, and the two had a teacher-student relationship, which was not equitable.
He and Gong Cheng are both faculty members, so they are colleagues. If I go to him, he will treat it as a task he has to do. This is where the value of his handling of student affairs lies.
"Hello, Professor Gong, this is Yan Zhengsheng. Yes, it's about that entrepreneurial project of our students. There's something I'd like to discuss with you in person."
