Chapter 505: Withdrawal of R&D funds
Wu Hua, who was sitting in front of the computer and hesitating how to call Wang Lingqing, suddenly heard another commotion when the phone rang, and Wu Hua at this time was most afraid of hearing this terrible phone ringing, as if every call was urging him to pay back the money. But fortunately, the familiar phone number appeared in Wu Hua's eyes, and it was Zhou Houming.
After answering the phone, Zhou Houming's somewhat tired voice came, "Master, don't worry, Jiaying has settled down here, today's matter is that she is too much, I apologize to you on her behalf, don't worry, I will not stand by and watch this matter." ”
"Okay, I got it." Wu Hua had no intention of worrying about these things with Yang Jiaying at this time, he just wanted to solve the matter in front of him quickly, talk to Wang Lingqing about the matter as soon as possible, and definitely couldn't delay it any longer.
"Then you should rest early, I'll hang up." Zhou Houming was a little incomprehensible, obviously he had already sworn his position so confidently, why Wu Hua still looked unhappy, but he thought about it, after all, this incident was a big blow to Wu Hua, maybe he really couldn't accept it for a while.
As soon as he pressed the hang-up button, the mobile phone in his hand vibrated again, Wu Hua looked down and sighed in his heart, "Sure enough, you still have to come, and you can't hide it, so it's better to face it directly." Wu Hua made up his mind in his heart, and then pressed the answer button ruthlessly.
"Hello? Wu Hua? Wang Lingqing's voice came from the phone, this is their second call, obviously, for Wang Lingqing, they are still more suitable for using computer email to communicate, so when Wu Hua really answered the phone, Wang Lingqing's heart was a little uneasy, I don't know what to say.
"It's me, are you okay in Colmar?" Wu Hua didn't talk directly about the topic, he was afraid that Wang Lingqing wouldn't be able to accept it for a while, she must not know what was going on in this country, and she had no way to understand her current situation, so for a while, although Wu Hua had a phone in her hand, she really didn't know how to talk to Wang Lingqing.
"I'm fine, the weather has been getting warmer lately, the ice and snow are slowly melting, the sky is very dark and bright tonight, and tomorrow should be a sunny day." Wang Lingqing stood by the window, looked up at the sky outside the window, and muttered to herself, but she didn't even notice it, and there was a bit of leisure and laziness in her tone.
Wu Hua here is not as leisurely as Wang Lingqing, his heart is tormented, but he can't find any breakthrough to vent, just when he feels that he is about to blurt everything out, Wang Lingqing seems to finally realize his gaffe. She suddenly sneered and said: "Wu Hua, don't be surprised, people like us who are in a foreign country are more sentimental, so sometimes we have more conversations, don't mind, let's talk about business, I called you this time just to talk about the research and development of mobile phones, you haven't read the email I sent you, right?" ”
In the face of Wang Lingqing's inquiry, Wu Hua chose to be silent for a short time, he silently organized the language in his heart, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "I have read all the scientific research record emails you sent me, and I didn't reply to you in time, just because of some things delayed, sorry, and ......" When it came to the end part, Wu Hua was speechless again, as if there was a thousand-pound stone blocking his heart, he obviously had a lot of things to say in his heart, but in the end he couldn't say a word?
"And ...... What the? Wang Lingqing on the other end of the phone saw that she was talking so slurred, and Wu Hua, who was usually cheerful and fluent, was like two people, and she couldn't help but slowly lower her breath, she had a hunch that what Wu Hua was going to say next was related to the delay in the funding of the mobile phone research and development project.
"Ling Qing, I'm sorry." In the end, there were only a few words left, but at the moment of saying these words, Wu Hua felt that the burden on his body was finally not so heavy, and there was no psychological burden, and the next thing was much easier to say.
"Sorry what? What do you want to say? Wang Lingqing became nervous, she had invested too much energy in the mobile phone research and development project, this man should not tell him at this time to regret it, right? In that case, Wang Lingqing would never be able to accept it.
Facing Wang Lingqing's questioning, Wu Hua knew that he had to confess everything.
Wu Hua told Wang Lingqing from beginning to end about the financial turmoil during this period of time and the causes, and explained that he was the direct victim of the financial turmoil, and now he is not only penniless, but also owes a lot of debts, so ...... So he must stop the mobile phone research and development project, Wu Hua once again expressed his deep apologies to Wang Lingqing, he also knows very well that Wang Lingqing has spent all her efforts on this project, and now he says that it is unfair to Wang Lingqing to stop, and as far as the contract signed by the two is concerned, Wang Lingqing has the right to deduct the first batch of scientific research fees he paid, and Wu Hua really has no way to do it at that time.
"You...... Are you telling me to stop the project? Do you know what I've done for this project? I originally thought that you gave me this hope and would be able to persevere, but I didn't expect that you would be such an irresponsible person. Wang Lingqing said very sadly, this remark made Wu Hua feel very uncomfortable, why did he become a scumbag in the eyes of everyone after he went bankrupt, couldn't they understand his difficulties? The financial turmoil, the world's economic crisis, is this something he can control alone? Why is it that all this group of people is to blame him now?
Wu Hua took a deep breath, he tried his best to make his voice sound calm, and then slowly said to Wang Lingqing, "I know that this project is very important to you, but it is not of great significance to me, but why can't you understand me?" Not only can I not afford to pay for the follow-up research now, but I also owe a lot of debt, so how can I complete this research project with you? ”
Wang Lingqing's eyes widened, the cold wind blowing in from the cracks in the doors and windows made her shiver, and she felt that a cold wind blew straight into her bones, and the extreme cold wrapped her, she asked in a trembling voice, "So you not only want to stop this scientific research project, but also want to get back the 500,000 scientific research fees from me, right?" ”
The last two words were chewed repeatedly in Wang Lingqing's mouth, she was afraid that she would accidentally scold, this man was really not ordinary helpless, not only ruined the hard work she had invested for so long, but also got back the fees she had paid before, which was really shameless.
Wu Hua also trembled involuntarily, if it weren't for such a long distance, he even felt that he could see Wang Lingqing gritting his teeth at the moment, Wang Lingqing must have hated himself at this moment, but he was already cornered, and there was no other way.
"I'm sorry, Ling Qing, today's incident is my fault, if I can make a comeback one day, I swear, I will continue to invest ten times more than before, so that you can continue to finish this project, is it okay?" Wu Hua said sincerely, but no matter how beautiful it is, it will no longer work in Wang Lingqing, if a person loses his trust once, it will be difficult to gain the trust of others. This Wu Hua knew this better than anyone, but even though he knew that it was useless to say these words to Wang Lingqing, he still said it, because it was not only a promise to Wang Lingqing, but also a goal he set for himself.
"Wu Hua, do you think I will believe your words again? I'm telling you, scientific research projects can be stopped, but I will never return the 500,000 to you! The contract says that if one of the two parties breaches the contract first, then the 500,000 yuan will be regarded as compensation, and I tell you, if you want to go back, it is impossible! Wang Lingqing said ruthlessly, but she was still a little unbearable in her heart, in fact, after listening to what happened to Wu Hua, she was also very sympathetic to him, once a while, he fell from heaven to hell, what a proud person he was before, and now he would beg for the 500,000 yuan.
This kind of Wu Hua makes people look down on it, and it also makes people hate iron and steel, this feeling deepens Wang Lingqing's disdain for Wu Hua, but at the same time there is an inexplicable distress, these two contradictory feelings make Wang Lingqing very chaotic, she suddenly became very entangled, and she didn't know how to continue, so she could only hang up the phone and lean against the cold window to try to calm herself down.
There was a hung up beep on the phone, Wu Hua knew that Wang Lingqing really hated himself, and he was about to kick out of breath with a sense of helplessness, but the more time it came, the more he didn't want to give up this last straw. So he forced himself to calm down, and then sat down, sitting next to the glowing computer screen, thinking about what to do with the last effort.
Fingers gently pressed on the keyboard, Wu Hua wrote a long string of words on the screen, the general meaning could not be like that, the meaning of apology to Wang Lingqing accounted for more than half, writing his helplessness and pain, and more, he hoped to get the understanding of this woman who was thousands of miles away but cherished him.
After typing this series of texts, Wu Hua's heart slowly became calmer, no matter what the result was, he should be able to accept it calmly, such as the tiredness of water swept over, Wu Hua felt that his eyelids were very heavy, and there was no way to keep them clear anymore, so he fell asleep on the sofa.
Ten minutes after Wu Hua fell asleep, the computer screen suddenly lit up, and the lower right corner showed that he had received a new email, but Wu Hua, who was asleep, did not notice that he was too tired.
