In a short while, Song Xi returned with a box of items.
Wen Junying asked, "What is this?"
Song Xi placed the box on the table, "These are samples of the swimming goggles. I asked Jingjing-jie for them, so everyone can take a look."
Wen Junying was surprised, "Song Xi, you're amazing!"
After looking at the materials for so long, no one had thought to ask for a sample. To understand a product's performance, one naturally needed to see it firsthand.
Mi Xuan pursed her lips, having to admit that Song Xi's reaction speed was indeed fast. It was unlikely anyone else would have thought of this.
In fact, someone had, such as Zhai Yixuan.
The moment she received the materials, she wanted to examine the product. However, due to her introverted nature and lack of social skills, she didn't know how to ask. In the end, she convinced herself to wait until after work. She never expected Song Xi to so directly and simply bring back a whole box.
The three teachers, observing all this from their respective offices, had already formed a preliminary impression.
Yu Sen glanced deeply at Song Xi and finally took the initiative to search for her name on the webpage...
Although they had obtained samples, everyone was still confused about the proposal.
Wen Junying suggested they go to the conference room to chat, hoping to spark new ideas.
Zhai Yixuan originally didn't plan to go, but Jin Ying, fearing netizens would say they isolated her, proactively linked arms with the young girl, "Let's go, Yixuan."
Zhai Yixuan felt uncomfortable all over and, regardless of Jin Ying's expression, pulled her arm back, "I don't like people touching me."
Jin Ying gave an awkward smile and then became flustered, "Ah... okay."
Jin Ying really didn't know how to deal with someone like Zhai Yixuan. So, when they sat down, she deliberately didn't sit next to her. Clearly, she wasn't the only one with this idea. Whether it was unspoken agreement or something else, out of the six people, five of them coincidentally sat together, leaving only Zhai Yixuan sitting alone in a separate row.
This scene was truly awkward.
Song Xi stood up and, using the excuse of closing the door, naturally sat down next to Zhai Yixuan.
Jin Ying reminded her, but Song Xi replied, "I drank a bit too much water, so it's more convenient to sit here."
What an excuse! How could a female celebrity say something like that!
Zhai Yixuan, on the other hand, was stunned.
Anyone could see that Song Xi didn't want her to be left out. But if this were broadcast, it could have some impact on her image as a celebrity. After all, fans had deified them. Wasn't she worried?
"I'm a bit nearsighted, I'll sit here too." Mi Xuan also proactively sat to Zhai Yixuan's right.
See, the excuse Mi Xuan gave was much more normal.
Song Xi genuinely hadn't thought that deeply about it, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with her statement.
Nature calls, and sitting by the door was indeed more convenient.
As the saying goes, "Three cobblers with their wits combined equal a great strategist." The six of them began a brainstorming session in the conference room. They came up with various ideas and expressed their opinions, actually generating a few good ones.
Wen Junying suggested they could film a video of themselves singing opera while wearing the goggles. He could play Britten's "Peter Grimes" Sea Interlude. Although strange and novel, it was certainly attention-grabbing.
Gao Yuan thought they could find influencers for product endorsements. Live streaming was trendy lately. Hiring influencers for advertisements would save money and generate traffic, which wasn't a bad idea.
The remaining three girls remained silent.
Mi Xuan didn't want to share her good ideas. Both singing opera and finding influencers seemed too bizarre. Swimming goggles should showcase their value. She felt it would be better to have athletes film the advertisements, which would yield better results and also draw attention to the sport.
Zhai Yixuan's thoughts coincided with Mi Xuan's. Having athletes film the advertisement would not only promote the sport but also build trust, being more convincing than influencers or celebrities.
"Mi Xuan, did you think of anything? I saw you looking at your phone."
Jin Ying asked proactively. Her mind was blank, and even if she couldn't come up with a good idea, she at least wanted to know if anyone else was in the same boat, to avoid feeling embarrassed.
Mi Xuan smiled sheepishly and put down her phone, "...No, I was replying to messages."
"Oh." Jin Ying had to place her last hope on Song Xi, "And you?"
"Actually, I think..."
Just as Song Xi was about to speak, someone from HR knocked and entered.
"It's time to get off work. You can leave now."
"So soon!" Jin Ying glanced at the time and realized it was indeed five o'clock.
Good heavens, it was too fast! Unconsciously, it was already time to get off work!
Jin Ying was overjoyed and immediately stood up, "Let's go, let's go!"
Wen Junying and Gao Yuan also left the conference room respectively.
Mi Xuan glanced at Song Xi. Honestly, she was curious to know what Song Xi was about to say. But unfortunately, she felt her idea of finding athletes to film the advertisement was already top-tier, so no matter what Song Xi had thought of, it couldn't be as good as hers!
Zhai Yixuan hesitated and opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by a phone call. So, she had no choice but to leave.
The vast conference room was suddenly left with only Song Xi.
She silently clenched her fists, then took a deep breath, re-energized herself, took out several swimming goggles of different sizes from the box, and left the company.
Huang Maoshi and Shi Xiangxue entered Yu Sen's office.
Huang Maoshi said, "It's the first day, and they're quite eager to leave. I doubt we'll have such easy days in the future."
"What does she want to do with those swimming goggles?" Shi Xiangxue asked.
Yu Sen remained silent, took off his glasses, and watched with anticipation.
