Bamboo horses in the morning and evening

Chapter 38

Zhou Zhimeng struggled for a long time. Just as he opened the calculation paper, he wanted to add "Okay" under Lu Qifan's line, but Lu Qifan was called out by a phone call.

Through the glass wall, Zhou Zhimeng saw Lu Qifan standing in the corridor, answering the phone with a serious expression. He didn't say much, but his brows kept frowning, which made it seem that the content of the call was not a trivial matter. Ten minutes later, Lu Qifan Walking back, he whispered in Zhou Zhimeng's ear, "Sorry, Juan, I have something to do with the team."

"It's okay, you go quickly."

"Then today—" Lu Qifan regretted.

Zhou Zhimeng understood what he meant, lowered his head and said softly, "I only have two classes in the afternoon, and I have time after [-]:[-]."

For the first time, he took the initiative on the topic of cohabitation.

Although he didn't say it directly, Lu Qifan understood.

Lu Qifan curled his mouth, he leaned over and kissed Zhou Zhimeng, then stroked his curly hair, looked at him steadily, and said inexplicably, "I love you so much."

Zhou Zhimeng was taken aback when he heard this, but Lu Qifan's eyes were tender, obviously from the heart, and he was embarrassed to be always shy, so he had to accept this sudden confession, Lu Qifan's fingertips made him feel itchy , could only shrink back, avoiding Lu Qifan's hand, he was too intimate, he was afraid of being seen, so he kept secretly looking around from the corner of his eye, fortunately the location was off the beaten track, and there were bookshelves blocking it.

He pushed Lu Qifan, "Hey, hurry up."

After Lu Qifan left, Zhou Zhimeng was finally able to settle down and read a book, and regained the peace he should have had in the past.

When Lu Qifan arrived at the parking lot, the atmosphere of the team was on the verge of breaking down. Xin Yang sat in the middle with a pile of racing suits at his feet. Brother Shao sighed and said to Lu Qifan: "President Lu, Xin Yang wants to terminate the contract. "

"Why do you want my opinion? You can do what the contract says."

Brother Shao smiled embarrassingly: "That's true, but Xin Yang has been in the storm for five years."

"The contract is signed according to the season. After the end of the six seasons, where does Xin Yang rank in the country?"

Brother Shao replied: "Sixteen."

"Then there's no need to keep it."

Xin Yang got up suddenly, with a bad expression on his face: "Qi Fan, I know that in the team, everything depends on strength. You are now the ace and the gold medalist. It's normal for you to look down on me, but you just broke into a team that was originally very harmonious. Win the championship, change the game strategy we have used for a long time at will, everything depends on your arrangement, I can't accept it."

"You said it too," Lu Qifan sat down, looked at Xin Yang and said calmly, "In order to win the championship."

"You don't trust our original players so much, why do you sponsor them?"

"Brother Shao is my coach. We have a deep friendship. I sponsor him to help him."

Xin Yang was stuck in his heart, and Brother Shao quickly came up to smooth things over: "Qi Fan also helped us a lot, we must not be ungrateful."

A boy next to him sneered: "But now who knows us, only him."

The scene turned cold again.

There were more than a dozen people standing in the VIP room, all the team's main players and substitutes. Lu Qifan looked around, thought about the pros and cons of these people, and analyzed who should be kept after forming a new team.

"Who else is going? Better to say it now," he said.

Brother Shao came up and asked nervously, "Mr. Lu, what do you mean?"

"When I sponsored Storm, I didn't expect Storm to become famous in one fell swoop and become the world's top team. In fact, I have always been very clear about the level of everyone here."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and directly lowered their heads with thin skin.

"I didn't really care about any awards. If I really only wanted to win the championship, the Auxerre team invited me three years ago. I really have no interest in it. But the current state of the team makes me feel that my sponsorship and joining are very good. It's ridiculous, so I will also formally inform you about Xin Yang's termination of the contract, if you want to terminate the contract, you should terminate the contract as soon as possible, so that everyone can retain some decency."

Everyone was stunned, especially Xin Yang.

"After one month, I will take some action. It may be to withdraw the sponsorship, or it may be to buy the team. At that time, it depends on everyone's performance."

His words were like a thunderbolt, the team members' eyes were full of shock, Xin Yang's face was bloodless, and he fell to his seat, he didn't expect that Lu Qifan would do such an amazing job this time.

As soon as Lu Qifan walked out of the VIP room, Brother Shao chased after him: "President Lu, what do you mean?"

"I have no obligation to help you, Brother Shao."

"I know, Mr. Lu, we are very grateful to you. Whether it is the sponsorship fee that was given in a timely manner, or this time when you were ordered to participate in the German competition, the young players admire you very much. It's just those who have qualifications... those few ..."

"What does it matter to me if they can't keep their faces?"

Brother Shao sighed, "Yes, yes."

"The seniors in the team are no longer focused on the race. If a team recruits them at a high price now, they will leave without saying a word. Backstabbing me, such a team member, why should I tolerate it."

"I understand. Then you just mentioned the divestment and acquisition."

"I do have the idea of ​​an acquisition. I'm still a bit difficult in terms of funds, but it shouldn't be a big problem. Whether I accept the acquisition or not depends on whether Xin Yang and his group can leave. Brother Shao, the storm is your painstaking effort, you Do you value these players more, or let the storm stand on a higher podium?"

Brother Shao's face was stiff, it was obvious that he was making a difficult decision, Lu Qifan patted his shoulder, "I'm making things difficult for you, and I trouble you to settle these matters."

"Qi Fan, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get your money back? After all, the domestic market for racing cars is very small, and it's already dangerous to get your money back from sponsorships. Acquisition..."

Brother Shao's expression was sincere and worried.

Lu Qifan thought: Although Zhou Huaisheng told him to be more prudent and don't mess around, but for the racing car he loves, he can't be satisfied with the status quo. He saw the enthusiasm and madness of the German race and the glory on the podium. His vision is no longer limited to the south of the city yard.

He's naturally adventurous and adventurous, and he'll regret it if he doesn't.

On the day the college entrance examination ended, he was in Lu Jincheng's study and said to Lu Jincheng, "Dad, the current storm is only a shell that can be seen. I don't think that's what I want."

"what do you want?"

At that time, he didn't have the complete idea of ​​buying the team, only a rudiment that was ready to come out. He said: "I want more people to know about racing, and I don't want our top domestic racing drivers to be poached by foreign teams with high salaries." as a goal."

Lu Jincheng said, "Yes, I support it."

Lu Qifan was also very surprised at the time, he didn't expect to say "I support" without hesitation at this moment when he hated his father since childhood.

Just like when he ran to his father's company a few years ago, he said in a daze, "I want to take the test for a racing license, and I need my parents to accompany me."

Lu Jincheng also put down all his work and went with him.

Lu Jincheng actually loved him in his heart, and Lu Qifan only found out when he grew up.

Lu Jincheng asked: "What do you need now? Is it a company equity or a blank check?"

"It will be all right."

Lu Jincheng said: "Okay, come to me when you need it."

"Thanks Dad, if I screw up, I'll be working in a company after I graduate."

Lu Jincheng chuckled, "Rare."

He raised his eyes to look at Lu Qifan, and suddenly found that his son was almost as tall as him. At this moment, his son had the shadow of Zhong Ye who was desperate to go to the capital to develop his comic business. He wanted to protect this courage, but he I also know that what Lu Qifan wants is not simple, so he still seriously put pressure on Lu Qifan: "Okay, just do what you said, if you don't succeed, you can work for me in the company for the rest of your life." .”

Lu Qifan nodded and said yes.

The superior family background gave Lu Qifan the mentality of not being afraid of risks. He knew that he had a way out, and the only thing he was afraid of was that he would be ashamed to face Zhou Zhimeng if he messed up.

His papers will be a small mathematician in the future, and he must also achieve results.

"How do you know if you don't try it?" He said to Brother Shao.

He called one of Lu Jincheng's investment companies and made an appointment with them to conduct a strategic assessment of Team Storm.

He was sitting in the car and had just hung up the phone when someone knocked on the window glass.

It's Xin Yang.

He lowered the car window, Xin Yang bent down to look at him, and said, "I have decided to terminate the contract. One is that I am getting older, and the other is that my mentality is a problem. Maybe I need a period of time to adjust myself."

Lu Qifan nodded slightly.

"After you came to Chengnan Depot, I felt a shadow over my head," Xin Yang smiled helplessly, "The word talent is too scary, it obliterates all my hard work."

Lu Qifan didn't say anything, he also didn't like the word talent.

"I hope you can promote the Storm to the top team. I have a friend here. He has a very high level, but he doesn't participate in the competition very much. The two of you are very similar in many points of view. You can contact him."

Lu Qifan took the business card, "Thank you."

When Xin Yang stood up, he suddenly said, "Do you still remember my brother?"

Lu Qifan frowned slightly, as if he was trying to remember, Xin Yang smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing."

Lu Qifan practiced in the parking lot for a while, and then received a call from Cheng Wei: "Student Lu, the college will hold a conference in the afternoon. Are you coming to attend? If you don't attend, you must ask for leave in advance."

"Participate." Lu Qifan said.

After the meeting at 02:30, Lu Qifan flew directly back to Wangcheng, and met the people from the investment company. They all knew that Lu Qifan was Lu Jincheng's only son, and most likely he would be the future successor of the group. Naturally, they were respectful.

But investment companies rarely involve in the field of competitive sports, so they have been analyzing for a long time.Lu Qifan also understood the other party's concerns, and listened carefully to the other party's explanation of the investment risks.

"I see."

Lu Qifan wondered in his heart what to do next.

It was almost eight o'clock when it was over, and when Lu Qifan returned to the capital by plane, he first took a taxi to the school, and when he was almost at the school gate, he suddenly remembered what Zhou Zhimeng said in the morning, and he quickly asked the driver to turn around and go to the apartment.

There are four missed calls from Zhou Zhimeng on the phone, all from Zhou Zhimeng when he was on the plane, Lu Qifan didn't pay attention.

He called back immediately.

The call was connected quickly.

"Jujuan, I'm sorry, I was too busy this afternoon and didn't receive your call."

Zhou Zhimeng's voice sounded like he was relieved, "It's just that you're fine."

"Where are you now?"

"I...I'm in the dormitory," Zhou Zhimeng's voice was soft and light, as if he had no strength, he asked Lu Qifan: "Have you returned to the dormitory? You must be tired after a busy afternoon, go to bed quickly."

"Are you really in the dormitory?" Lu Qifan looked at the gradually increasing numbers on the elevator display.

"Well, don't worry about me, I'm fine."

As soon as the words were finished, the elevator door on the 27th floor opened, and Lu Qifan saw Zhou Zhimeng carrying a backpack.

His lips were pale and he looked tired.

When Zhou Zhimeng saw Lu Qifan, he was stunned for a long time, and then his emotions suddenly surged up. He shed tears of grievance: "Why don't you answer the phone? I'm waiting for you at home and you don't come back. Do you know that I have How worried are you?"

Lu Qifan immediately hugged him.

Zhou Zhimeng tried his best to break away, tears dripped patter on Lu Qifan's shoulder, he bit Lu Qifan's shoulder viciously, Lu Qifan was in pain, and was not willing to let go of him.

No matter how ruthless he is in front of outsiders, he dare not show the slightest temper in front of Zhou Zhimeng.

In the end, Zhou Zhimeng felt distressed, put his cheek on Lu Qifan's shoulder, and said aggrievedly: "I'm really scared when the phone doesn't work."

Lu Qifan opened the door, led Zhou Zhimeng in, then took away Zhou Zhimeng's backpack, hugged him and sat on the sofa, Lu Qifan kissed Zhou Zhimeng's lips, "There are too many things this afternoon, I didn't have time Tell you, I will tell you slowly now, okay?"

"I won't listen." Zhou Zhimeng looked aside angrily.

Lu Qifan went to kiss Zhou Zhimeng's neck again, but he suddenly felt that Zhou Zhimeng's body was very hot.

Think of Zhou Zhimeng's pale face.

He asked, "Juanjuan, are you in heat?"

Zhou Zhimeng was worried all afternoon and didn't pay attention to himself at all. Only now did he realize that he was caught by Lu Qifan when he wanted to escape. What does it look like? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before.”
