The morning sun of our boyhood

Chapter 22 Funding Difficulties

The promotional video was released, and Tao Xi had a bottom line in his heart.He walked into An Mi's office confidently, and flattered him first: "Director An, you look good today, did you use a new lipstick?"

An Mi directly stated: "Teacher Tao, flattery doesn't work here. I've already said that the school has no funds for the baseball team!"

Tao Xi had been prepared for her speech, and said confidently: "What I want is not the money for the baseball team, but the money for the promotional film!" Then, he put a form on An Mi's desk, and An Mi put it down The document he was looking at, hesitantly flipped through the forms.

Tao Xi pointed to An Mi with his fingers: "Look, we are the lowest price in the market for camera rental fees, lighting rental fees, costumes, and props. The labor fee for lighting and so on is lower than the lowest price in the market! Didn’t it save the school a lot of money?”

An Mi had a "suddenly enlightened" expression on her face: "So you're trying to use your brain here. I said why are you so active in making promotional videos."

Tao Xi was so proud that there was a tail wagging behind him: "The filming of this promotional film has already been finished, Director An will not want to renege on his debt, will he?"

An Mi closed the document and looked directly at Tao Xi: "I promise, I will not lose any money that should be given to you."

Tao Xi was proud of himself, and stretched out his hand, "I've done the math, and we're giving us [-] in total."

An Mi also stretched out her hand and added, "What about □□?"

Now Tao Xi was dumbfounded.

"I said before, I won't give you any less if you should, and I won't give you more if you shouldn't." After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

When she came to the office, she saw Qingcheng standing at the door of her office.An Mi signaled Qing Cheng to come in.

"What's up?"

Qingcheng hesitated for a moment, and said, "Director An, I am applying to you for funding for the baseball team."

"Your baseball team has just been established, and you haven't achieved any results before. What reason do you have to persuade the school to invest in your club?" After all, An Mi is a strong woman. of.

Qingcheng is not built by him, he is good at data analysis, and his words are well-founded. He is not called a bully for nothing, "Director An, since Changjun Middle School formed a baseball team, it has successfully reached the U18 finals ten times and won the national championship five times. , is a solid baseball school. Although everyone is no longer the same as before, the baseball team has been reorganized and has a new look. I believe we will definitely get the ranking in the next game.”

An Mi smiled and said, "It's useless to tell me about your feelings, let's talk about something practical."

Qingcheng immediately began to speak rationally: "Okay, Director An, the baseball team has been reorganized now, but due to a series of reasons such as funds, our players cannot train effectively. If this continues, we will undoubtedly lose in the league. They will only criticize the school because they know that the team has insufficient funds. Director An, this will have a very bad impact on the reputation of Changjun Middle School. You won’t lose the school’s reputation because of a sum of money.”

An Mi continued to maintain her status as a strong woman: "Qingcheng, you don't need to use the school's reputation to talk to me. Maintaining the school's reputation can't be achieved by baseball games."

Qingcheng is not to be outdone: "But if we achieve results..."

(Author's random entry: I feel like my legs are shaking so much watching these two people talking.)

"Achieving grades is of course good for the school, but it doesn't play a key role. Also, Qingcheng, your main task here is to study, not to engage in cultural and sports development with the baseball team. If your father knows that you are Will he be happy if he spends his mind on baseball in China?"

Unexpectedly, An Mi would suddenly mention her father, Qing Cheng was slightly taken aback, "But..."

"Okay. There's nothing else, let's go to class first."

Qingcheng couldn't say anything more, and left disappointed.

An Mi wondered if she had gone too far.The baseball team's equipment needs to be replaced, the field needs to be maintained, and the new team uniforms are waiting to be paid for, all of which she sees in her eyes.She also heard from Bai Zhou that Tao Xi was desperate and was about to sell her precious limited edition pure gold Saint Seiya figure.

But she has no choice.In private, she had submitted the Cubs' funding application to the chairman, which was rejected, not surprisingly.The chairman doesn't want Tao Xi to have a smooth and happy life in Changjun.

How to do it?An Mi held the computer mouse and let it go, let go and held it again, finally sighed and said: "Forget it, I owe you!" She didn't think about who the "you" refers to.She ordered all her training equipment online and paid for it out of her own pocket.

A few days later, when the Cubs were training, Joule rushed over suddenly, gasping for breath, and said, "Everyone, go to the activity room! There is a surprise!" Then, he pushed Taoxi to the direction of the activity room, and the other team members wondered follow behind.

At the door of the activity room, Joule let go of Tao Xi, and grabbed the doorknob first: "Everyone, be mentally prepared first, so you don't faint when the time comes."

Wu Tong couldn't help asking: "What happened?"

Joule still pretended not to answer.Tao Xi came over, grabbed him by the collar and pulled him aside, and pushed open the door of the activity room: "You open it, I want to see..." He was silent for three seconds, and then suddenly screamed: "Ah—— "

Ban Xiaosong rushed in: "What's wrong? Could it be that the activity room has been emptied? Our baseball team has been disbanded again?"

The rest of the team followed suit.The dozen or so mouths of the Cubs all opened into an "O" shape, and the air was silent again.

I saw that all the dilapidated and old training equipment in the activity room were replaced by brand new equipment. The ball machine, exercise machine, protective gear, gloves, bats, etc. shone charmingly in the sun.Everyone rushed up with a "wow", touching things here and there, they couldn't put it down.

Tao Xi stayed aside, only smirking.Yin Ke approached him and asked, "Coach, did Director An buy these?"

Tao Xi smirked from ear to ear: "I can't think of anyone else except her."

Yin Ke said sharply: "Director An has a sharp mouth and a tofu heart." Everyone agreed.

Xue Tie expressed his own emotion: "Director An just looks fierce." He looks much more sunny and cheerful than when he was in the "horrific incident".

Joule also said: "Director An is a bit arrogant, and he is much more reliable than Teacher Tao in doing things!"

Suddenly someone followed him at the door and said, "Anyone is more reliable than Teacher Tao."

Everyone followed the sound, and it was An Mi who spoke.The team members rushed over one after another, "Director An, thank you so much!"

"Director An, you are so kind!" Words of gratitude rang out endlessly.

Ban Xiaosong offered the biggest flattery: "Director An, our gratitude to you is beyond words, why don't you become the honorary coach of the baseball team!"

Tao Xi was immediately reminded, and quickly added fire: "Yes, yes, Coach An, our gratitude to you is like a torrent of water, flowing endlessly. You must agree."

He turned his head and said to the team members, "Quickly call Coach An!"

An Mi's weak voice of protest was covered by the sound of "Hi Coach An!"She had no choice but to accept this honorary coach, even though she knew in her heart that this was just a plot by Tao Xi and Ban Xiaosong. They said it was an honorary coach, but they actually wanted her to be the supplier of supplies.

An Mi retreated outside the activity room, leaving room for the Cubs. Watching Tao Xi lead the team members to caress the new equipment carefully, she felt mixed feelings.

An Mi laughed, Tao Xi laughed, and everyone on the Cubs team laughed.

In the afternoon, An Mi passed by the activity room again, and saw the baseball team members and Tao Xi bowing to her photo once, twice, and three times.She muttered dissatisfiedly: "I bought the equipment for you out of my own pocket, and my kindness is not rewarded."

At this time, An Mi heard someone coming behind her, and looked back, it was Bai Zhou.Bai Zhou poked his head, saw the activity room inside, and said, "Tao Xi is sorry."

Bai Zhou recalled some of the previous events, and continued: "Although Tao Xi is a bit indebted, he and the children are really grateful to you."

An Mi's gaze suddenly softened following these words.Bai Zhou stared at her, and said clearly: "Director An, you can deceive children even if you say what you mean."

Yeah?Has she relented?Already impressed by these kids?Or—was he moved by someone?
