Because this provincial fund project is a collaboration between Huada and Xiangyi Technology, as usual, a cooperation agreement needs to be signed.
However, before the agreement can be sealed, the budgets of both parties need to be prepared and the financial review can be completed before sealing the agreement.
Originally, Lexus planned to settle the cooperation agreement this morning and concentrate on the competition in the afternoon.
But unfortunately, the secretary in charge of the provincial fund project was temporarily busy in the morning, so Lingzhi could only come to work on the cooperation agreement in the afternoon... Well, is this really the case?
Fake!
Yes, this is just an excuse! It will be an excuse when I need to explain to Director Wang one day!
The truth is that Lexus deliberately delayed the cooperation agreement until this afternoon!
As early as the Snooker Citizen Cup ended, Lexus had already noticed that Director Wang was suspicious that he had not devoted all his time to scientific research.
Last time, because he participated in the Snooker Citizen Cup final, he didn't come to the laboratory on Monday afternoon. He could use an excuse to have a cold. But this afternoon he couldn't come to the laboratory, so he couldn't use the same excuse.
Therefore, Ling Zhi discussed with Zhao Shiyan yesterday and asked her to help him seal the cooperation agreement this afternoon.
If the stamping goes smoothly and does not take long, then I will find some other excuse and say that I spent an entire afternoon doing this and therefore did not come to the laboratory.
And if the sealing process does not go smoothly and there is a problem, I can remotely command Zhao Shiyan and ask her to help me deal with it, and this time I don't have to think of an excuse.
In short, the purpose is to find a suitable reason to give yourself a sufficient alibi!
"Hey, it's like counter-reconnaissance, but to this extent?"
When Ling Zhi raised this matter, Zhao Shiyan once had such doubts.
Of course she also understood that Ling Zhi's mentor Wang Haibo would definitely not allow Ling Zhi to do some messy things in his spare time, so she could not easily tell Director Wang that Ling Zhi was doing billiards training.
But if Lexus is not in the laboratory, there are many excuses that can be made, and it does not necessarily have to be about the cooperation agreement.
However, Lingzhi did not dare to underestimate Director Wang's wisdom. He did not want to tell a lie easily to cover up his participation in the competition. So what should he do?
Then we have to make things real! Make things real!
I went to work on the cooperation agreement in the afternoon, so I didn't go to the laboratory. That's the fact.
It's fine if Director Wang doesn't ask. If asked, he will explain it like this. He can't say he lied just because he didn't do it himself.
But even so, Ling Zhi felt somewhat guilty towards Director Wang, but there was nothing he could do about it. He finally entered the semi-finals, and Ling Zhi did not want to miss this hard-won opportunity to compete.
In the end, Zhao Shiyan agreed to Ling Zhi's plan, so this scene occurred:
Ling Zhi is participating in competitions at the Yingshuo Billiards Club, while Zhao Shiyan, who is far away at Huacheng University, is helping Ling Zhi with the cooperation agreement.
"Um, I'm sorry, can I answer the phone?"
Ling Zhi made a request to his opponent Yao Guangzhi. Yao Guangzhi nodded lightly. This is human nature and he had no reason to refuse.
"Hello? Shi Yan, what's going on? You just said that material costs cannot be budgeted? I have never heard of this."
Ling Zhi came to a quiet place and asked on his mobile phone.
"Well, the finance secretary said that the requirement for key research and development is that the cost of materials such as USB flash drives cannot be included in the budget."
"But we are obviously not focusing on research and development. We are a provincial fund. The budget preparation requirements of the provincial fund do not say that we cannot prepare material expenses."
"Well, I also noticed this. The secretary explained to me that it is an unwritten rule that material costs cannot be budgeted. No matter what fund you apply for, you must follow the requirements of key research and development."
"That means it must follow the strictest establishment requirements. Okay, besides the material cost, are there any other problems?"
"There's nothing else."
"Okay, then... can you please help me change it? Shi Yan. Just move the material fee compiled by Xiangyi Technology to other items, preferably to travel expenses and intellectual property fees.
Don’t transfer it to labor fees, do you know how to transfer it?”
"Hey, you know, you know, I'll take care of it. You probably told me yesterday. If I can't even handle this little thing for you, it would be too embarrassing."
"It's not embarrassing, but no matter what, just talk to me if you encounter any problems."
After hanging up the phone, Ling Zhi hesitated for 2 seconds and decided to send a message to Guo Chengyu, telling him that the material fee would be moved to other items. Then he put the phone in his pocket and ignored Guo Chengyu.
Can't reply to the message.
Just like that, from the time I started answering the phone to the time I finished sending the message to Guo Chengyu, the whole process only took less than 1 minute.
So when Lingzhi returned to the court, the referee had just finished placing the ball and did not let Yao Guangzhi wait one more second.
In the 7th inning, Yao Guangzhi kicked off the ball.
Originally, he wanted to quickly gain an advantage in the opening, but the phone call from Lexus slightly disturbed his mentality.
This feeling is not easy to express. Although judging from the results, Lexus did not delay the game time between the two sides, Yao Guangzhi still felt a little unhappy secretly, as if I regarded you as a strong enemy, but you answered the phone on the side and did not take it seriously.
I took it seriously.
Yao Guangzhi kept reminding himself rationally that the reality was not what he imagined, and Ling Zhi did not mean to despise him at all, it was just a phone call, just a phone call.
However, emotionally, he could never suppress the restlessness in his heart.
He felt that the game was unfair to him! He felt that the game was too low-end and did not restrict players from using mobile phones! How could such a random situation occur in a professional game!
I don't deserve to participate in this kind of competition!
The more Yao Guangzhi thinks about it, the angrier he becomes, which shows on the court that his offense becomes more and more fierce!
But after all, he is not a player who always hits the mark. Under the influence of this mentality, he can occasionally win one or two games, but more often he will still miss opportunities.
Half an hour later, Lexus was already leading Yao Guangzhi with a score of 8:4! And he got the match point!
In the 12th game, Lexus felt his phone vibrating, but he was attacking at the time, so he didn't pay attention.
After winning the game, Ling Zhi looked at his phone and saw that it was Guo Chengyu who called him.
Seeing that Ling Zhi didn't answer the phone, Guo Chengyu left a message for Ling Zhi and asked him if he could add the extra funds after deducting the material fee to the labor fee.
Ling Zhi didn't bother to make a special call to explain to him, so he just took out the name of the Finance Department and rejected him sternly.
Then I didn't care how he responded and continued to focus on his own game.
However, what Lingzhi didn't know was that when Yao Guangzhi saw him taking out his mobile phone, the strange emotion in his heart surged.
Yao Guangzhi thought of the last game against Alexander, and he felt very frustrated when he lost that game.
What kind of competition does a disabled person come to participate in? Isn’t it better to just stay at home and recuperate?
And Ling Zhi, a player who never leaves his cell phone on the field, actually won the runner-up place in the Snooker Citizen Cup!
Why does he have it? Isn't it just because I gave him a good draw and let him meet Alexander? Otherwise, he could have reached the final so smoothly?
Yao Guangzhi felt angry and unfair! His heart was full of distracting thoughts and he couldn't calm down at all!
Sometimes this is the case. The strength of the two sides may be almost the same, but some distracting thoughts off the court can easily affect the performance of the players on the court, thus preventing the players from performing 100% of their strength.
Yao Guangzhi had distracting thoughts, and Ling Zhi naturally also had distracting thoughts.
Ling Zhi was always concerned about whether Zhao Shiyan's budget was going smoothly, but Ling Zhi's distracting thoughts did not have much impact on him, because Ling Zhi had slowed down the pace of the game since the 6th game, and he did not force himself to connect many shots.
Therefore, he had enough time to deal with his distracting thoughts during the game before taking the shot.
But Yao Guangzhi is different. His emotions are always accompanied by his fast-paced shots, so if he makes a mistake suddenly, he may even find it baffling.
So in a vicious cycle of mistakes - frustration, frustration - mistakes, Yao Guangzhi lost the entire game with a score of 4:9.
Yao Guangzhi, who lost the game, was not in the mood to stay long and immediately packed up his clubs and left the scene.
Ling Zhi couldn't care less about being happy and immediately called Zhao Shiyan back and asked her about the budget changes and whether it had been approved by the financial review.
Fortunately, Zhao Shiyan had already helped Ling Zhi handle everything, and Ling Zhi immediately felt relieved.
"You seem very busy lately?"
Um?
Ling Zhi turned around and saw that it was Chen Lizhong talking to him, which was a rare sight.
"Um, yes, it's a bit too much, but at least I can handle it. Senior brother, have you won?"
Because the two semi-finals of the Chinese Billiards Citizen Cup were held at the same time, looking at Chen Lizhong's current appearance, Ling Zhi guessed that he had already won.
However, Chen Lizhong didn't seem to want to answer the question. He nodded slightly and left, which made Ling Zhi feel somewhat baffled.
"Hey, don't take it too seriously. Senior Brother Chen has been like this since he lost the Haining competition. Even I ignore him."
Wang Siheng stepped forward and said to Ling Zhi.
"Hey! I really didn't notice you if you didn't speak! Didn't you lose the game yesterday? Why are you here today?"
"Don't I want to come and watch Senior Brother Chen's game? I was at another table just now. Isn't it normal that you can't see me?"
"Yes. So how is Senior Brother Chen doing?"
"What? You want to get information from me? Yes, it's understandable. After all, you two are each other's opponents in the final."
"Love to talk but don't talk!"
"Tell me about it! Why bother asking? Of course it feels hot!"
"Let's go! What you said is the same as what you didn't say!"
