Lan Yu certainly knew of the Li Group.
A multinational conglomerate with business spanning electronics, finance, machinery, chemistry, and more, calling it one of the most prestigious enterprises in China wouldn’t be an overstatement, with a market value surpassing several hundred billion.
She had of course come across Chen An online as well, indeed the special assistant to Li Muchen, CEO and main shareholder of the Li Group.
It was said that since President Li suffered from a disability, it was this special assistant who represented the boss at various events.
Seeing this friend request and the accompanying message, Lan Yu’s first reaction was that she surely had encountered a scammer.
Those so-called "pig-butcher scams" always start with finding reasons to add someone as a friend, then chat daily to build a relationship and finally swindle money after fattening the mark up.
But the problem was, what kind of scammer would be so dedicated as to send friend requests at two o’clock in the morning?
And their handsome guys’ coffee shop project only came up today, how could a scammer possibly know about it?
It was simply too preposterous.
So, Lan Yu took a deep breath, accepted the friend request, and tentatively sent a message: [Hello?]
The other party actually replied immediately.
[Miss Lan, I’m disturbing you so late because I hear from President Li that you are pressed for time on your end.]
The other party was incredibly efficient, right after sending that message, they immediately sent a file. The file was named
[Miss Lan, President Li mentioned you lack experience, so I have prepared this event proposal for you.]
[Your subsequent arrangements can be based on the content of this proposal, which will save a lot of time.]
[The project budget should be within one million, but according to President Li’s wishes, our Li Group will sponsor your project with $10 million.]
[President Li said you plan to donate all proceeds from this event to children left behind in the mountains, and the remaining sponsorship money can also be donated, which I can discuss with you later.]
[Take a look at the proposal first, and if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.]
Looking at the tone in which the other side spoke and the file they sent, there was no way this could be a scammer. It seemed to really be Assistant Chen himself!
This time Lan Yu was completely awake.
She took a deep breath, opened the file sent by Chen An, and was even more astonished by its content.
The entire proposal covered everything meticulously, from the background and significance of the event, to exact preparations, onsite layout, procurement of props and equipment, a rough budget for various expenses, personnel allocation and work scheduling.
It even included the arrangements for advertisement spaces for the sponsors in the proposal.
This was just...
This was just too outrageous!!
It was as if, when attempting to deal with an exam for a subject you’re not good at, suddenly an expert in the field comes flying towards you, flapping their wings, and throws the standard answer right in your face.
Saying, I’ve written the answer for you, copy it quickly. It’ll save a lot of time, and I’m here to help if you don’t understand.
She understood the rationale, but why, oh why?
How did their little broken project for a high school celebration catch the attention of the Li Group?
And how did the CEO’s special assistant, with an annual salary of five million+, stay up late to write a project proposal and send it to her?
[Uh... Mr. Chen, may I ask why you approached me?]
[How did President Li come to know about our project?]
The other party replied promptly again.
[President Li heard about it from Miss Shengsheng.]
[President Li doesn’t wish for Miss Shengsheng to waste unnecessary energy on this matter, so he arranged for me to write the proposal first in order to save your team time.]
