Since it’s not clear to explain, then let’s not discuss it anymore.
The two bosses didn't know how they discussed it. It wasn't until early the next morning that Director Wang told Ling Zhi to make a budget of 150,000 yuan.
For the sake of rigor, Ling Zhi checked with Guo Chengyu again. Guo Chengyu did not embarrass Ling Zhi this time.
Ling Zhi really saw that the enthusiasm of the two big guys for this project was indeed very limited. From the beginning to the end, he seemed to be the one taking the initiative to contact both parties. If he didn't contact them, the big guys wouldn't bother to urge him, let alone communicate with each other.
Ventilate.
Not to mention Director Wang, Guo Chengyu should be very active, but after all, he is also busy with the company's affairs, so he should have no enthusiasm and no energy.
In this case, Lingzhi simply shouldn't be in a hurry. I'll finish the work first, and then I'll discuss it with you when you urge me.
So he spent the whole morning making a budget, then put it aside for the time being, and went to compete with his clubs in the afternoon.
The location of this Chinese-style competition was set at the Yingshuo Billiards Club. After Lingzhi arrived at the scene, he happened to catch up with the drawing ceremony.
The Citizen Cup of Chinese Billiards adopts a double-elimination knockout format, that is to say, the groups are still drawn by lots at the beginning. In each group, the top two of the winner group and the loser group can directly advance to the top 32.
Ling Zhi originally came to compete just out of interest. After all, his main practice now is snooker, not Chinese billiards.
So he didn't pay too much attention to the grouping in the draw, nor did he carefully evaluate the potential opponents he might encounter. As for the competition, he just gave his best no matter who he met.
It wasn't until after the lottery was drawn that Ling Zhi took the time to observe the scene and saw many acquaintances, including many who had participated in the Snooker Citizen Cup.
Last year's runner-up Yao Guangzhi was also there, but Shi Yulu was not seen, which made Ling Zhi let out a long sigh of relief.
That dead girl is super difficult to deal with. If she doesn't come, Ling Zhi will naturally be happy and relaxed.
"Hey, you are indeed here."
When he heard someone greeting him from behind, Ling Zhi knew who it was without turning his head.
"Of course I have to come, otherwise wouldn't you and Senior Brother Chen win the championship very easily?"
Wang Siheng curled his lips and rarely refuted Ling Zhi:
"That's right. But then again, aren't you going to practice football? Why are you here holding a computer?"
Ling Zhi smiled bitterly and briefly explained to Wang Siheng the project he was responsible for.
"Oh, then it's really hard for you. Okay, you go ahead and go to practice."
After that, Wang Siheng walked towards the table where Chen Lizhong was sitting. Ling Zhi glanced in that direction and saw that Chen Lizhong was practicing quietly and had no intention of coming here to say hello. Ling Zhi thought for a moment and decided not to go
disturb him.
Just like that, Ling Zhi put the computer on his knees, reading the paper and waiting for the start of his game. This seemed very unusual in the ball room.
After a while, the game officially started.
Ling Zhi's first opponent was a kid named Yu Bowen. When he first saw him, Ling Zhi even doubted that he could reach the table.
However, Yu Bowen was quite well prepared. He brought his own club, which was roughly the same length as his own arms. It should have been specially prepared for him by his parents or coach.
It is precisely because of this comfortable club that he can still play in a more comfortable posture when the white ball is not very far from the edge of the library.
Moreover, Yu Bowen's performance in the game also made Lingzhi look at him in a new light.
Although most of the time, he may need to set up a stick to help him hit the ball, but his accuracy is not bad.
If he had met someone else, this little guy might have had a chance to win, but unfortunately, he had met Lexus.
Although Lexus had to let him fall behind during the game, this did not affect the progress of the game at all. In the end, Lexus defeated him with a score of 5:0.
The little guy was not depressed after losing. Instead, he asked Ling Zhi for his contact information, hoping to invite him to play ball frequently in the future. Ling Zhi naturally would not refuse.
Immediately afterwards, Lexus's second game also started at the same table.
The game went smoothly, and in the end he defeated his opponent with a score of 5:2.
Because he didn't get to know his opponent carefully before the game, Ling Zhi thought his opponent was just an ordinary person like himself.
But unexpectedly, when shaking hands after the game, his opponent handed Lingzhi a business card and welcomed Lingzhi to come to his ballroom to practice ball when he was free.
Lexus looked at the content on the business card:
Dongcheng Xingqi Billiards Club, Zhu Wenhui.
Oh? He actually lives in the same city as Shi Yulu, and he seems to be the owner of this club. In this case, it is really an unexpected surprise to win him.
Ling Zhi thanked Zhu Wenhui for his kindness, packed up his clubs, and left the scene quickly without any intention of watching the match.
Ling Zhi did not return to school directly, but came to the Huacheng Curling Hall to meet Zhao Shiyan.
"Lingzhi, how was your game today? By the way, is that senior brother still giving you a hard time?"
"The competition went very well and we have successfully advanced to the top 32. As for Senior Brother Guo, he has no time to take care of me. I guess he is also busy."
"Oh, that's it. Then just ignore him! Just wait for him to come to you, can't you?"
"Okay, actually that's what I plan to do now. However, you still have to have a degree of procrastination. I plan to discuss the funding with him again tonight. Before that, I can arrange the time freely.
"
"Hehe! That's it! Lingzhi, you are reliable! Then why don't you take a break now and play with me for a while. No one is here today. I am so bored by myself."
"Uh, okay then."
Because the weather is getting colder, there are fewer guests in the curling hall than in summer.
This is normal. It is cold outside, and few people would come to a colder place like the curling hall to experience life.
Ling Zhi followed Zhao Shiyan to the ice, not knowing what this girl wanted to play.
I saw Zhao Shiyan holding his hands and leading him to start spinning around on the ice.
It's a pity that Ling Zhi's skating skills are not as good as his girlfriend. Zhao Shiyan is circling around Ling Zhi like a butterfly, but Ling Zhi himself is stuck there like a piece of wood, unable to move his legs.
Zhao Shiyan didn't think Ling Zhi was ignorant of the style, and he had a lot of fun. However, after a while, Ling Zhi couldn't stand it anymore, and finally shouted to surrender:
"Then...Shi Yan, wait a moment, I'm a little dizzy, please let me slow down a bit."
"Ah? Sorry, Lexus, I went a little too far."
Zhao Shiyan quickly stopped and took Ling Zhi to sit on a chair on the sidelines to relax.
"Well, Shi Yan, let's stop playing here. I should start reading the paper. Um, what are you doing? Shi Yan?"
Zhao Shiyan was seen lying on Ling Zhi's lap and seemed to have no intention of getting up.
"I'm tired, I want to take a rest."
This...well, this girl clearly doesn't want to let herself study!
However, Ling Zhi could also understand Zhao Shiyan's painstaking efforts. She wanted to stay with him for a while, and she also wanted to give herself a good reason to rest for a while. After all, she couldn't help him much in scientific research, so she had to use this coquettish way to give herself to him.
Recharged.
Ling Zhi silently accepted her kindness. However, this was the first time he encountered this situation. At this moment, the question he wanted to ask most was:
Where should his hands be?
After thinking for a moment, Ling Zhi carefully interlocked the fingers of his left hand with Zhao Shiyan's left hand, and then gently stroked her hair with his right hand.
Zhao Shiyan curled up inadvertently, seeming to enjoy this feeling very much.
Sure enough, girls are all cats!
Ling Zhi couldn't help but sigh.
He kept stroking his hair with his hands, but his eyes glanced at other places in the curling hall. At the same time, he felt the cold temperature in the hall, and the restlessness in his body gradually calmed down.
Originally they agreed to just play for a while, but the two of them stayed in this position for the whole afternoon.
In the evening, Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan returned to school. Ling Zhi sent the prepared budget to Guo Chengyu for review. Soon, Guo Chengyu called:
"Lingzhi, I have another question. Can we budget more for this labor fee?"
"Ah? I'm afraid this won't work. I've already budgeted the maximum for both of us for labor costs. If it's any higher, this ratio will definitely fail the expert review."
"Hey, what should I say to you? Why don't you just budget more? When the experts have opinions, won't we be done with it if we change it?"
"Then you can make the budget, I won't."
"What do you mean you won't do it? You are responsible for the budget! Who will do it if you don't do it?"
"Whoever wants to do it can do it, but I won't do it anyway!"
"What's your attitude? If you continue to be so irresponsible, I will tell Director Wang."
"Oh, I beg you, senior brother, go and tell me quickly. Go now. If you don't tell me, it will be your grandson!"
He was really pushed into a hurry. Normally Ling Zhi would not say these words, but Guo Chengyu challenged his bottom line again and again. He didn't have any temper at all!
"Then...that, junior brother, let's both calm down. I spoke a little harshly just now, and I apologize to you."
Guo Chengyu calmed down. He was used to being a project manager in the company. He just couldn't help but say some threatening words. It might be useful in the company, but here, Lexus was not afraid of offending him.
As for filing a complaint against Director Wang, he would definitely not file a complaint. After all, he was in the wrong for this matter. So after calming down, Guo Chengyu was the first to give in.
"Well, what about this budget? If you are not satisfied, you can do it yourself."
Ling Zhi said coldly.
"Then let's do this for now. There's no need to change it. We'll wait until Monday to have your finance department review this budget, and then seal the cooperation agreement. Let's forget about it."
"Yeah, okay."
Although this conversation broke up unhappily, it finally set the tone for the budget and did not allow Guo Chengyu to adjust it as he pleased.
But Lexus knows that this may be far from the end, and how many more things may happen in the future.
