Jun Yi was immersed in training, and after several days he suddenly remembered that he had not seen Ji Shiyi for a long time.
The staff of Jifeng were very busy, and large drones were constantly arriving at the scene. The fast-flying scenes that ordinary cameras could not capture were more than enough for Jifeng's professional aerial photography. On the side of the stadium, the director's shed had been built. Through Jin Shao's channels, Jifeng invited professional commentators from F1 Formula One and e-sports.
In one part of the mall, Ji Feng persuaded the organizer to open a viewing platform for the spectators. It was completely different from the audience seats at the Great Wall Race, which were several hundred meters away from the track and could only hear the sound through telescopes. The close-up viewing effect of the big screen made people feel like sitting in the stands of the Formula 1 race.
"Who is next to President Ji?"
The pilot had sharp eyes and spotted the people entering the venue. Jun Yi followed their line of sight and saw Ji Shiyi discussing something with several drone racing staff. Last time, he was just the owner of a club, but now, as the exclusive media, he made requests for the co-organizer of the event.
Jun Yi looked at Ji Shiyi from a distance, and could feel his fatigue, his voice was a little hoarse. But when Ji Shiyi found her gaze, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled smugly, as if he had everything under control.
"Boss Ji is not only busy with company business, but also has to deal with dates with beautiful women. How can he not be exhausted?" Li Jia's gossipy tentacles stretched out again, "Have you seen the pictures I sent you?"
"It's too blurry. Could it be a sneak shot?" Gong Ming said disdainfully. "Okay, Lijia, stop gossiping! Brother Yi, ignore her."
In the past, Jun Yi could have just laughed off the gossip about President Ji, but at the moment, she felt a little complicated. To be honest, she didn't like herself being so hesitant.
"I'm going to training first." Only when she was flying could her mind be cleared of everything.
"Brother Yi," Gong Ming called her, "What about Xiao Z's matter?"
Z lived with Gong Ming these days, and Jun Yi also helped him to get into other clubs to practice flying, but this could not change the current situation.
"How about, let Z switch with me?" Gong Ming suggested.
Lijia glanced at him and said, "You are the captain, how can you change?"
When it comes to being forced to be the captain, Gong Ming gets a headache: "You don't know how scary Ji Shiyi's expression was that day. If it weren't for Senior Sister Qianqian, Ji Feng would have probably announced the termination of his contract with the club on the spot."
Ji Shiyi would never do that. Maybe others don't know, but Jun Yi knows it in his heart.
The matter of Z could not be delayed any longer. Jun Yi sighed and realized that she was hesitating again. She had to confront Ji Shiyi immediately, otherwise little Z would lose the opportunity to go to the battlefield forever.
When Jun Yi finally waited for Ji Shiyi and his group at the hotel, he saw Ji Feng's employees pushing seven or eight suitcases and preparing to go to the parking lot to pick up the car.
She quickly ran to Ji Shiyi's side: "Are you leaving? You don't want to watch our game?"
Ji Shiyi's mind was as clear as a mirror: "If you need anything from me, just tell me."
Zhuo Fan and Nie Qianqian looked towards them. Jun Yi didn't want this to be intercepted, so he tugged at Ji Shiyi's sleeve.
"I promised to treat you to afternoon tea. Are you free now?"
Ji Shiyi lowered his eyes and glanced, revealing a smile, and the fatigue from days of sleepless nights was swept away.
After Assistant Ma answered the phone, he came to urge the person.
"Boss, the meeting in Shanghai is too late..." He glanced at Ji Shiyi's expression and immediately changed his words, "Time can be squeezed out. The driver can drive faster on the way back. Even if we have afternoon tea, we can still make it."
Ji Shiyi immediately gave him an approving look that said "I'll give you a raise" and followed Jun Yi.
The rooftop platform on the sixth floor of Global Harbor is a large amusement park. The line to redeem the Ferris wheel afternoon tea is very long. Among the noisy student couples, Ji Shiyi, dressed in a suit and tie, is out of place, but he is happy to be held by Jun Yi's hand.
"Every couple who board the Sky Ring will find long-lasting love." The lady working at the window winked at Jun Yi, "Wow, your boyfriend is so handsome."
Jun Yi tilted his head to look at Ji Shiyi and replied, "He's not my boyfriend."
"Oh, you're not my boyfriend, but you're holding hands."
"I'm afraid he'll run away." I have something else to say later.
The young lady turned to Ji Shiyi and said, "Your girlfriend is really interesting."
Ji Shiyi smiled but said nothing, his usual arrogance faded a lot. He rubbed his head which only reached his chest, proving his status with facts. Unfortunately, Jun Yi immediately reached out and slapped away his moving "claws", put on a baseball cap, and pressed his ponytail.
After checking his ticket and entering the venue, his cell phone vibrated. Ji Shiyi looked down at the incoming call and saw that it was about work.
"It's okay, it will be your turn in a while." The young lady pointed to the rest area nearby.
"I'm going to take a call." Ji Shiyi said as he walked around the crowd and headed for a secluded place.
"Your boyfriend is so nice to you. He accompanies you on the Ferris wheel even though he's very busy." The young lady winked at Jun Yi, "He deserves it."
"I've already said it's not true..." Jun Yi was powerless to explain. Whose boyfriend only has secret relationships and drinks coffee with other women?
Not long after Ji Shiyi left, Gong Ming's SOS popped up in Jun Yi's team channel. As soon as he opened the private chat, he heard Gong Ming's voice rushing out: "Brother Yi, it's bad, Xiao Z's mother found out that he escaped and chased after him! I was helping him escape!"
"Where are you?"
"The terrace on the sixth floor of Global Harbor." Gong Ming shouted.
How come this sound is three-dimensional and feels like it’s right nearby?
Jun Yi turned his head when he heard the voice, and saw a woman not far away screaming and chasing the two people in front of him: "How dare you trick me into running away from home! Do you still want to study? What are you playing with? I'll break your legs!"
The empty car of the Ferris wheel slowly descended, and the staff signaled that it was Junyi's group's turn next. She quickly waved to the two people who were fleeing dozens of meters away.
“This way!”
Seeing their savior, Gong Ming and Xiao Z immediately climbed over the railing and ran towards Jun Yi. Jun Yi stretched out his hands and pulled them hard, and the three of them hugged each other like a ball, and fell into the Ferris wheel cabin with the door slowly opening due to inertia, just avoiding the sight of the woman.
"That was a close call!" Gong Ming panted, "I was almost caught by your mother. Strange, your mother looks familiar."
Little Z was still terrified: "Middle-aged women are all the same."
Suddenly, the closed elevator door was opened from the outside, and the three of them were so nervous that their hair stood on end.
The man stepped into the car with his long legs, glanced at them coldly, and then sat down opposite them with his hands folded on his chest.
"So it's a team dinner." Ji Shiyi said in an unfriendly tone.
Gong Ming and Xiao Z immediately understood what he meant. Jun Yi had already made arrangements. He is indeed my brother Yi!
"Uh, that's not the case." Jun Yi was short of breath. It was so thrilling just now that she actually forgot about Ji Shiyi.
Although the Ferris wheel's cabin is designed to accommodate four people, it is usually only arranged for one couple to sit in it. Now that they are sitting in a three-to-one situation, it seems particularly crowded.
Xiao Z and Gong Ming huddled close to Jun Yi, like good brothers who shared the same destiny.
Ji Shiyi frowned and patted the empty seat beside him: "Jun Yi, come here."
The commanding tone of a master immediately made Gong Ming unhappy, but before he could say anything, he saw Jun Yi obediently approaching Ji Shiyi.
Jun Yi knew he was in the wrong, so he gently squeezed Ji Shiyi's hand under the table and looked at him flatteringly with his big eyes.
Anyone who has raised a cat probably has had this experience - when you do something wrong and look into the cat's bright and innocent eyes, you will feel guilty, even if it is the cat's fault.
Ji Shiyi sighed inwardly and softened his attitude.
The elevator door opened from the outside for the second time, and the three people's expressions tensed again. This time it was the enthusiastic young lady who came in. She looked at the situation inside in surprise, and with an expression of "young people really know how to have fun", she placed the hanging basket containing afternoon tea on the round table in the middle.
"Everyone, please enjoy your meal. This romantic journey will end in about twenty minutes."
In other words, the four of them would be trapped in this small space, staring at each other for twenty minutes? Little Z felt his scalp tingling just thinking about it!
Only Ji Shiyi seemed to be in his own living room, calm and composed: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Jun Yi told the story of Xiao Z like a bamboo tube pouring out beans, and Gong Ming exaggerated the story to make it sad and tragic. Xiao Z almost cried, he was so miserable!
"Can I..." Gong Ming chose his words carefully.
"No." Ji Shiyi lowered his eyes coldly and poured himself a cup of Sri Lankan black tea. "I know what you are thinking. It's impossible."
The air in the car froze for a moment. Gong Ming was extremely annoyed. He knew he couldn't communicate with Ji Shiyi.
Little Z collapsed in a chair, looking hopeless: "Brother Yi, you are so good at playing with drones, didn't it affect your studies? Why is my mother so stubborn? What is your family's attitude towards your playing with drones?"
"My parents died when I was very young, and my great aunt adopted me. At that time, I often got into fights and got into trouble. My great aunt had no choice but to lock me up in the basement, the kind where the air vents were only slightly higher than the ground, and if you jumped up you could only see the shoes of passers-by... What happened to you?"
Little Z and Gong Ming stared at Jun Yi in surprise. No one knew that she had such a miserable childhood!
Only Ji Shiyi remained calm. He had investigated Jun Yi's past at the Great Wall Tournament and wondered why this guy with a miserable childhood could live so recklessly.
"What...what happened next?" Little Z asked.
"Later, Brother Wei Zhi taught me how to fly a drone. He told me that even if the body is imprisoned, the soul can fly far away." Jun Yi was immersed in memories, and the smile on his face seemed to be shining.
Ji Shiyi paused holding the teacup, as if he couldn't stand her excessive worship of her idol, and said nonchalantly, "No matter how great that person is, he has retired, right?"
"But I will continue to fulfill his dream and I will stand on the podium of the World Championships to prove to him that I can do it."
"Even if he has given up that dream? How foolish." Ji Shiyi sneered, "Even if you can prove it, so what? The other party doesn't care at all. To me, your proof is just for self-satisfaction."
Jun Yi was stunned.
"No!" Little Z jumped up impulsively, and the small car immediately shook. "It must be useful. As long as I win the championship and prove it to my mother, she will definitely change her mind! Only in this way will she respect my ideals and my passion!"
"Calm down, Xiao Z, calm down." Gong Ming was horrified, but the teenager was impulsive and could not be stopped.
"Ji Shiyi, you don't understand drones at all." Xiao Z grabbed Ji Shiyi's collar and half of his body lay on the dining table. "You only care about how to make money. You don't have any ideals at all."
"Xiao Z, let go!" Jun Yi couldn't bear it anymore and pushed him back to his seat.
Ji Shiyi adjusted his collar and took a sip of his tea leisurely.
"That's right. I don't have ideals, I only have goals. Only those who don't know themselves well will talk about ideals that have no practical significance. Let me put it this way. Your mother doesn't disapprove of drone racing, but she disapprove of you."
Gong Ming was about to interrupt when he was stopped by Ji Shiyi's cold eyes.
"You can become a professional pilot, but you must first set goals for yourself and make sure you have a good life. After your performance meets your mother's expectations, spend two years training with the goal of entering the national team. The General Administration of Sports does have plans to establish a national racing team. The National Games have always had model aircraft competitions, one of which is racing aircraft."
The boys' eyes widened in surprise. After playing racing machines for so long, they had no idea there was a national team.
"Of course, if you can't do it within two years, you can just go back to being an ordinary person and never think about flying again."
Little Z was skeptical: "Ji Shiyi, how do you know my mother will agree? She is just a stubborn middle-aged woman."
"Because, that's what I talked to your mother about, and she accepted it."
As a top-notch business negotiator, it was easy for Ji Shiyi to convince a mother to respect her son's interests. Little Z looked at Ji Shiyi in disbelief, unable to believe that he would really negotiate with his mother for him.
"You... you really convinced my mom?" Little Z's stubbornness chattered anxiously, "If she really agreed, why didn't she tell me?"
"Humph, because you haven't been home these days."
Ji Shiyi’s sharp words left Xiao Z speechless.
"How could you be so kind?" Gong Ming still didn't believe it.
"Two cups of coffee in exchange for a free pilot, I think it's a good deal," Ji Shiyi said casually, "it's just a waste of time."
What coffee?
Gong Ming suddenly thought of something and yelled, "Ah!" "In Li Jia's photo, the person drinking coffee with Ji Shiyi is Xiao Z's mother!"
A Ferris wheel is like this, slowly rising to the highest point and always slowly coming down, over and over again, like a known ending.
Little Z finally followed his mother, but he left with hope. Maybe he couldn't fight alongside his companions this time, but he still had the next battle.
Gong Ming accompanied Xiao Z back to the hotel to pack their luggage, leaving Jun Yi and Ji Shiyi alone and slowly walking towards the parking lot.
"Thank you for the treat." Ji Shiyi teased Jun Yi, but soon realized that she was too quiet.
She and Ji Feng had been winning all along, and they never stopped even in the face of numerous obstacles. She thought that as long as she worked hard enough, Wei Zhi would be able to see that the ideal he had given up in the past was being realized step by step by her. But Ji Shiyi's words made her doubt what she had believed.
Jun Yi stopped and looked up at the man beside him who always knew his goal.
"You said that if the other party doesn't care, no matter how hard I try or how much I prove myself, it will be useless?"
As night fell, the Ferris wheel behind them lit up with colorful lights, like an exquisite ring, enveloping the two of them in a dreamy halo.
"It's foolish to achieve your ideals for others," Ji Shiyi chuckled, "but your efforts are useful."
Jun Yi was confused by him.
"Why?"
"Because..." Ji Shiyi gently lifted the girl's face and stared into her beautiful eyes, "I care. I like you, so I care about everything about you."
The handsome man chuckled, the light in his eyes was like millions of stars.
The light casts bright and dark shadows, and in the overlap of clarity and haziness, the noisy playground seems to become an insignificant background. I don't know whether it is his smile that makes the night thrilling, or the night that makes his smile confusing.
Jun Yi stared, his heart beating, an answer ready to come out in his heart.
the next day.
The competition of Global Harbor is about to begin, but the ace senior is nowhere to be found. Everyone in the W Club is so anxious that their palms are sweating.
"Not in the room."
“Not in the restaurant either.”
“The phone call is not connected!”
Nie Qianqian ran over in a hurry, looking anxious: "Found it, in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, he said he was too nervous, took too much motion sickness medicine, and passed out!"
Junyi stood up from his chair suddenly.
"What should we do then?" Gong Ming was horrified.
"Coach?" Psyduck was at a loss.
Is it really going to be three against four? Zhuo Fan's brows were furrowed so much that they could almost pinch a fly to death. He looked at the substitute flyers and asked, "Who's going to play?"
The pilots who came to Changzhou to eat, drink and soak in hot springs looked at each other in bewilderment. None of them had the ability to take responsibility for the outcome of this game.
Just then, a familiar voice appeared from behind everyone.
"let me try!"
The young man grinned and smiled at everyone, his steel teeth gleaming.
Gong Ming looked at Xiao Z in disbelief.
"Why did you sneak back again?"
"Again?" Zhuo Fan immediately grasped the key point.
"No, I listened to Ji Shiyi and talked to my mom. She agreed to let me finish watching the game before leaving. But now, I think I can help." He turned and waved at the stands, "Look, my mom is right there."
"What happened?" Zhuo Fan looked at Xiao Z suspiciously, "Did the winter vacation cram school end early? Have you finished the "Three-year High School Entrance Examination and Five-year Simulation"? "
"Coach, please let Z play." Jun Yi interrupted Zhuo Fan's questioning, "Give him a chance."
Zhuo Fan showed his disapproval. He always stood on the side of Xiao Z's mother.
"Coach..." Little Z slid to his knees and pounced on Zhuo Fan, hugging his thighs exaggeratedly, "Coach, I want to fly a drone."
"What should we do with Little Monsoon? No one has used Little Monsoon before except Senior Ace." Nie Qianqian reminded everyone, "The club is different from before. We can't do whatever we want. We must be responsible for Monsoon."
Jun Yi lowered the brim of his hat, slowly put down the wind that was always with him, and announced to his teammates: "I will fly the little monsoon."
"Brother Yi!" Psyduck was shocked.
The two drones have very different appearances and different performances. Jun Yi's move is undoubtedly a huge risk. But she didn't realize it at all. She smiled and patted Xiao Z on the shoulder: "Go ahead. Don't you always want to prove yourself? Only winning will make sense!"
The pilots of W Flying Club are fully equipped. They are wearing the same purple uniform. The drones in their hands are inlaid with LED lights of different colors and the same style as the epaulettes. They look full of cyberpunk handsomeness, as if they are superheroes from the future.
"Hey, are you here to compete or to show off?" Pilots from other clubs were very dissatisfied with the W Club's show. "You can't fly a drone just by your face, right, Captain W?"
"What did you say?" Gong Ming, who was wearing a mask, was suddenly pulled hard by someone behind him and retreated repeatedly.
Junyi stood between the two sides. She wore a loose flight jacket, a baseball cap, and a team dress as an inner layer. She looked playful like a girl and bold like a boy. Although she was much shorter than the other two, her aura was not diminished. It was obvious who was the boss of the W Club.
"Appearance is also a reflection of strength." Jun Yi tilted his head and looked at people, his eyes showing sharpness, "But you may never experience it in your lifetime."
What does that mean? Saying he's ugly? The other person jumped up and down on the spot.
"Don't be complacent. What's so great about an amateur club that temporarily replaces players? It's just relying on the power of its sponsor. Look at the drone you're using. How dare you call yourself a pilot? You're just a dog raised by Ji Feng."
Jun Yi smiled and allowed himself to be provoked. To be honest, after being with Ji Shiyi for a long time, she became immune to ordinary sarcasm and ridicule. She raised the little monsoon and shook it in front of the man.
"Don't lose to the drone later."
After saying that, the girl took the lead and walked towards the team control console handsomely without even looking at them a second time.
"Brother Yi," Xiao Z took two quick steps to Jun Yi, "I will definitely not let you down."
"Don't be nervous, we can win." Jun Yi was full of confidence.
For the club and for Monsoon, this game must be won.
On the other side, the atmosphere in the meeting room of the Monsoon Building was also tense. Investors shook their heads at the financing method announced by Monsoon, and some had already stood up and left the venue.
The entire financing project involves one billion US dollars. According to Monsoon's requirements, investors must subscribe to a certain proportion of interest-free bonds in order to obtain ordinary shares. To put it bluntly, it means that if you want to invest, you can give me more money, and it will be considered a loan, and no interest can be calculated.
It is very consistent with Ji Shiyi's stingy character.
As an old classmate of Ji Shiyi, Chen Zisheng, the investment manager of Lida Capital, whispered to him: "Shiyi, you are not raising funds at all...you are recruiting suppliers. Jifeng is unwilling to commit to listing, so who will invest in you?"
Ji Shiyi glanced at him and said, "Did I invite you here? Get out."
Manager Chen immediately lost face; he was also a well-known figure in the industry.
"Boss, Lida Capital has submitted its deposit and bidding application, so we can't ask him to leave." Assistant Ma reminded in a low voice.
"Tell him to go back. It's annoying to watch."
Outsiders don’t know about the grudge between Lida and Ji Feng, but Ji Shiyi himself will never forget it.
At the beginning, Jifeng was just a small company founded by a few college students in a residential area. They once approached Li Da, an old classmate, hoping to get 5 million in start-up capital to start the first production line. But Li Da refused without even looking at Jifeng's business plan. The reason was very simple. They thought that a company with Ji Shiyi as the main founder was not worth investing in.
The same investment of 5 million yuan may be life-saving money for ordinary entrepreneurs, but for the second-generation rich, it is not enough to buy a car. The most terrifying thing is that if the second-generation rich fail to start a business, they can always go back to inherit the family property.
"Mr. Ji, there are no eternal enemies." Ji Feng's financial director advised kindly.
Ji Shiyi looked at him coldly: "There are hundreds of investment institutions, of course I can pick the ones that I like."
"Oh my goodness, Mr. Ji, there are not hundreds of them, they are all leaving." The financial director of Jifeng didn't know where the boss got the confidence from. No matter how powerful the unicorn is, it will bow down in front of capital. Only Jifeng lives like Party A.
Just when most of the investors were about to leave angrily, they heard Ji Shiyi say loudly: "Wait a minute." He made a pause gesture.
Several investment banks thought that President Ji had finally changed his mind, but the next second, they were confused again.
"It's time to check the game situation."
