"Yiming, then I'll go through this summer's arrangements with you first."

"No problem." Yang Yiming pressed the TV to mute, threw away the remote control, took the initiative to open Yu Xiaochun's laptop, put it on the coffee table in front of them, and said with a smile:

"Let the horses come."

"Then I'll really let the 'horse' come." YU XIAOCHUN OPERATED THE KEYBOARD AND CLICKED ON AN EXCEL FILE ON THE DESKTOP.

"Come on, can it be harder than the playoffs?" Yang Yiming leaned forward to the computer and said proudly, "Even if it is the 'horse' of the playoffs, we are also riding to the championship." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, remember what I reminded you before..."Yu Xiaochun enlarged the content of the EXCEL file to the full screen, only to see that the table was made into small squares, densely spread across the entire screen.

"I remember that the hard work of the summer will determine the success or failure of the whole season for the rest of the season. But..."Yang Yiming pointed to the dense blocks of various colors on the computer screen, and said in surprise, "Could it be that these squares are all activities arranged for me?" It's not necessarily too full. There's more to it than a season—"

Yang Yiming was right. If each square represents a certain period of time on a date, and different colors represent different arrangements, BA players will travel back and forth between home and away during the regular season, and receive various business and social activities, but the overall focus is still on games and travel, which is relatively monotonous.

"Maybe it's too complicated?" Yu Xiaochun saw Yang Yiming's embarrassment, and said: "I also have an abbreviated version here, which contains a synopsis of the theme of the daily arrangement in summer. Why don't you read this abridged version first? ”

"Well, let's start with a brief."

Yang Yiming wiped the sweat on his forehead, and saw that Yu Xiaochun called up another ORD document.

"Doesn't that look a lot clearer, Yiming?"

"It seems to be streamlined, but it's actually not lacking at all, Koharu."

"That's... It seems that this is indeed the case. Yu Xiaochun seemed to be a little embarrassed, but Yang Yiming knew very well that he just didn't look embarrassed by the words, and there was no room for maneuver in the arrangement he set.

"Okay, so it looks like I'll have to take it all?"

"I guess so." YU XIAOCHUN TURNED THE COMPUTER SCREEN BACK TO THE SMALL GRID INTERFACE OF THE EXCEL SPREADSHEET - I DON'T KNOW IF HE DID THIS ON PURPOSE, THE PURPOSE WAS TO LET YANG YIMING ADAPT TO THIS COMPLICATED ARRANGEMENT IN ADVANCE.

Yang Yiming copied the laptop to his lap, and carefully checked the two plans a few times before saying, "It's no problem to take the whole picture." But I have two questions. ”

"What's the problem." Yu Xiaochun was visibly alert.

"Don't be nervous." Yang Yiming squeezed on Xiaochun's shoulder and said, "The first question is that I want to confirm our goals for the new season. You have arranged so many jobs for me in the summer, just to defend the title. You didn't write the rest of October 14th, but the subtext is that I want to win another championship..."

"Of course. At the same time, our business should also become bigger and stronger. Yu Xiaochun complemented Yang Yiming's goal.

"That's good. Let me confirm that our goals are the same. Let me defend my title start this summer! ”

"Good!" Yu Xiaochun clenched his fist, his expression could not hide his excitement, as if he was full of enthusiasm and preparing for the journey of the new season. However, he quickly realized something, and immediately changed his words, "Didn't you say that there were two problems just now, Yiming." In addition to the goals for the new season, what is one more thing you want to ask? ”

"Look here," Yang Yiming pointed to the June 27 schedule on the condensed version.

"Brazil. Is there anything wrong with me arranging for you and Meritis to go on vacation and enjoy their time together? ”

Yang Yiming pointed at himself, and then pointed at Xiaochun's chest. He still doesn't know why, Yang Yiming thought to himself. "You've been busy for a season, so why don't you find someone to go on vacation with us? Four people together! ”
