Qi Mo calmly took out a document and pushed it in front of him.
The document header clearly reads: [Ministry of Industry and Information Technology]
The red font below: [Key Support Projects for New Energy Industry in 2024]
Approved amount: [First phase of 500 million yuan special subsidy]
"The preliminary review has been passed." Qi Mo's voice was like a heavy hammer.
"The first installment of funds will arrive next week, and the subsequent 4.5 billion will be allocated in batches based on the progress of mass production."
“It’s equivalent to the group’s two-year R&D budget.”
The conference room was silent.
Everyone looked at Shi Heng.
He was still standing in front of the window, his back as straight as a pine tree.
“This approval document…”
Shi Jue's voice was a little tense, "When did you apply?"
"A month ago."
Shi Heng finally turned around and said, "Just when the board of directors was discussing whether to introduce new strategic investors."
These words made Shi Jue's heart beat wildly.
He suddenly realized that what he had stepped into was not a simple transfer of power, but a carefully arranged conspiracy.
Shi Heng slowly walked towards the conference table, his finger gently tapping the approval document. "Hydrogen energy is the core strategy of the Shi Group for the next ten years. It will not change, and cannot change."
His eyes swept over everyone present, finally landing on Shi Jue's face.
"Of course, if someone insists on switching to lithium..."
"I can allocate a separate fund to set up a special project team."
Shi Heng smiled, "General Manager Shi will be fully responsible."
This counterattack was extremely beautiful.
It not only gave Shi Jue a way out, but also completely isolated him from the core business.
Qi Mo lowered his head to hide the smile in his eyes.
Shi Jue suppressed his dissatisfaction and put on a humble smile on his face.
He closed the document in front of him and said, "Excuse me, everyone."
His voice was gentle, as if the tension just now had never happened.
"It seems that I didn't understand the technical route deeply enough. Dr. Qi's data is very convincing. The hydrogen energy project is indeed worth continuing to invest in."
You could hear a pin drop in the conference room.
A dozen executives exchanged glances.
This parachuted-in General Manager Shi actually took the initiative to make concessions in the first confrontation.
Shi Heng tapped his fingertips lightly on the table. "What does General Manager Shi mean?"
"My proposal was indeed ill-considered."
Shi Jue stood up and personally switched the projection back to the original plan. "We can temporarily postpone the lithium battery direction and focus on hydrogen energy research and development. As for national subsidies..."
He looked at Qi Mo, his smile so sincere that no flaws could be seen. "Thank you, Dr. Qi, for taking care of the connection."
This turn is beautiful.
Save face and throw the hot potato back.
If the project fails, the responsibility naturally falls on the technical director.
Qi's eyes narrowed slightly behind his sunglasses.
He had expected Shi Jue to give in, but he didn't expect the other party to retreat so gracefully.
"Let's adjourn the meeting." Shi Heng stood up and walked out.
Shi Jue didn't loosen his clenched left hand until he was the only one left in the meeting room.
The four crescent-shaped bloodstains on the palm of his hand were shocking.
My mother's warning over the phone early that morning was still ringing in my ears: "Bow your head now so that you can look up in the future. Don't lose the big picture for the sake of small gains."
He slowly wiped the blood from his palms and adjusted his tie facing the glass curtain wall.
Turn around and walk out of the meeting room.
…
On the other side, the president's office.
"Boss Shi, my wife sent it here."
Secretary Jin placed an exquisite gift box on the desk, her face full of curiosity.
But he didn't dare to ask any more questions and turned around and left the office.
Shi Heng put down the pen in his hand and untied the ribbon tied to the box with his fingers.
The moment the lid of the box was opened, his eyes froze obviously.
I saw a thick stack of new one-yuan banknotes neatly stacked in the box.
There is a faint lip print on each banknote.
The bright red color on the edge looks like it was deliberately rubbed.
Shi Heng casually picked up the top one:
[No. 1: The first time you called me Youbao, I pretended not to hear you, but my heart was actually beating like crazy.]
His fingers paused slightly, and he pulled out the second one:
[No. 365: You stayed up all night with me, and when you fell asleep on the sofa, the shadow cast by your eyelashes made my heart flutter.]
The third one:
[No. 666: You scolded me for staying up late to write songs, but you quietly made me some honey water.]
Shi Heng's breathing slowed down unconsciously.
Continue to read these special "love letters".
The first 864 banknotes record every moment of their time together.
There were some details that even he couldn't remember clearly, but she recorded them so carefully.
When he turned to the last one, he found it was a blank note.
There is a line of small words written on the back:
[The 865th yuan is for you to fill in... someday in the future, the moment when you love me the most.]
Shi Heng's gaze lingered on the blank banknote for a long time, his eyes becoming increasingly profound.
At this time, the phone screen lights up.
Gu Youran sent a voice message.
After clicking it, her smiling voice was particularly clear:
"Mr. Shi, I will double the ransom."
"Now, it's your turn to pay the interest."
Shi Heng immediately understood her intention.
This was "revenge" for what he did last night.
To avenge his obsession of tearing her apart with his own hands.
Revenge for him forcing her to face the cruel truth.
To get revenge on him...for making her cry so sadly.
Shi Heng's slender fingers gently stroked the blank banknote, and he suddenly smiled.
He pressed the intercom, "Secretary Jin, cancel all afternoon meetings."
Since she wanted to play this game, he naturally had to accompany her to the end.
