On the table, there were five applications to withdraw from the society.
When Lu Zhou saw the awkward expression on Fat Wu's face, he knew that he was too late.
Okay.
Looks like the twelve arhats have become seven Calabash Brothers …
Lu Zhou picked up a withdrawal request and glanced at it. His expression was subtle.
Li Ruizhe?
Emm …
I don't remember him at all.
"This is my dereliction of duty." Fat Wu put out his cigarette and threw it into the trash can. He sighed and said, "I only thought that the more people we have, the more power we have. I forgot to consider the compatibility between the members."
"It's not all your fault. I'm also responsible." Lu Zhou put down the withdrawal request and sighed. He said, "There are five withdrawal requests here. I don't remember the names of the four people. I've been busy with scientific research these days and didn't have time to care about this … "
As the president of the club, it was not right for him to not know the name of his own club leader.
Not to mention that they were not only in the club but also in the same team.
Maybe …
He was not suitable to do business.
Lu Zhou paused for a moment before he continued to ask, "Is the impact big?"
Fat Wu's smile was a bit forced. He said, "The impact is quite big. Although the two freshmen left, the other three are from the development team. The only ones who can write code are Rong Hai and a freshman … "
The new version was about to be released. If this happened, it might be delayed.
Moreover, it was not just about the new version.
It was a fatal blow to the morale.
Lu Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Call the rest of the people, I'll have a meeting … Forget it, book a table at the fish restaurant."
"Okay." Fat Wu nodded and left the office.
…
The fish restaurant at the school gate.
Same place, different time. At this moment, there were only nine people, including Lu Zhou and Wu Dahai.
This time, Lu Zhou did not let Fat Wu come out to warm up the atmosphere. He poured himself a glass of beer and stood up.
"You may have noticed that we have lost five companions."
"Actually, when I established this society, I said that if anyone felt that it was inappropriate, they could leave at any time. Everyone parted on good terms. Even if they were not in the same team, they could still be friends. But I feel that I, as the founder, cannot blame myself for not being able to maintain the cohesion of this team. "
"It has been more than half a month since the establishment of our society. Everyone has put in a lot of effort for our common cause. I feel that the new version will be released soon, and I feel that some things can already be said. "
"Today, I have gathered everyone here for this meal. I only have one thing to say."
"I plan to take out 20% of my personal shares as an equity reward."
"Of course, it doesn't make sense to talk about equity now. Campus Assistant hasn't made a profit yet, and it's still in debt. Therefore, this 20% equity reward will be cashed after the angel round of financing. "
"According to the different contributions, everyone will get different shares, but I promise that I will uphold the principle of fairness and come up with a plan that everyone will agree with."
Under everyone's astonished gaze, Lu Zhou said these words.
Then he raised his glass and downed it in one gulp.
…
Keeping everyone together and maintaining a strong team was far more difficult than coming up with a business idea or making a PowerPoint presentation.
Fortunately, with the "equity incentive" and "angel round of financing", the team's morale was lifted.
Next, it was time to fulfill these two promises.
After the meal, Lu Zhou went back to his dorm. He leaned against the balcony and stared at the sports field.
When he thought about Campus Assistant, he felt a little annoyed.
It was like he had encountered a math problem that he could not solve.
He hadn't encountered this situation in a long time.
As expected …
Compared to entrepreneurship, scientific research is more suitable for me.
I should wait for the angel round of financing and find an opportunity to cash out my shares.
After staying on the balcony for a while, Lu Zhou suddenly took a deep breath. He looked up at the sunset and spoke to himself.
"Is it because I've been too tired recently?"
Five days of high-intensity scientific research work, coupled with the release of the new version of Campus Assistant, made him a little too sensitive. Lu Zhou thought about Mrs. Yang's advice and went into deep thought.
Maybe he should consider the problem of balancing work and rest.
Suddenly, the dorm door was pushed open. Shi Shang, who was wearing the number zero jersey, walked in with a basketball.
"Zhou, are you playing? We're missing a player."
Behind him stood the class monitor Tian Jun and the study committee member Li Tao, who were also wearing jerseys.
Lu Zhou wanted to say that he was not interested, but he suddenly thought of something and blurted out, "Wait, I'm going to change."
Then, he turned around and went back to his dorm. He took out his jersey from his closet.
Under the urging of his friends, Lu Zhou put on his shoes and followed the group of people to the court.
…
Run, shoot, dunk …
Okay, I can't dunk. Lu Zhou can at most grab a rebound.
Because they were just playing, the two teams were put together at the last minute. Therefore, there was no difference in position.
Lu Zhou's figure sometimes appeared inside the free throw line and sometimes outside the three-point line.
For him, the score was no longer important. He simply wanted to vent and sweat.
After an hour of playing, both teams were exhausted. Especially Lu Zhou, he felt like he had fallen into a ditch.
"Midfield! Let's take a break! "
Shi Shang hugged the ball and shouted. Soon, everyone agreed.
Sweat soaked both of Lu Zhou's clothes. He was lying on the wooden floor. He was out of breath, but his mood was unspeakably carefree.
It had been a while since he had experienced such a carefree feeling.
Shi Shang bought two bottles of water and sat down next to Lu Zhou. He placed the unopened bottle of water on Lu Zhou's head.
"How are you feeling? Better?"
Lu Zhou grabbed the bottle of water that almost hit his nose. He rolled his eyes at Shi Shang and spoke after he caught his breath.
"What … Better?"
"In terms of mood," Shi Shang said with a grin, "Did something bad happen recently? Why don't you tell me?"
"It's just that I've been too busy. My mood … isn't bad."
"It doesn't make sense." Shi Shang shook his head.
"What do you mean it doesn't make sense?"
Lu Zhou glanced at Shi Shang and had an ominous feeling.
His intuition told him that this guy was going to do something again.
Shi Shang chuckled and said with a knowing expression, "According to my experience, most men have this kind of expression because of a woman."
Lu Zhou: "…"
Seeing how Lu Zhou was speechless, Shi Shang thought he guessed right. He sighed and said in a serious tone, "We're still young, who hasn't been rejected before? There's still a long way to go. There's no need to feel bad for one person. Get over it. "
Lu Zhou:???
F * ck me, this guy's brain is getting bigger and bigger.
Just as Lu Zhou was about to say that Shi Shang's brain was damaged from reading novels, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
Lu Zhou moved the phone to his ear and picked it up.
"Hello?"
"It's me!"
Chen Yushan's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Lu Zhou adjusted his breathing and asked, "What's up?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you're free tomorrow afternoon."
"Yeah."
"Ah! That's great. " Chen Yushan was sitting in her dorm room. Her eyes lit up as she immediately said, "Didn't the school have a carnival last time? My roommate and I won two movie vouchers. We planned to go together, but she suddenly stood me up. Do you want to watch a movie? "
Watch a movie?
That sounds good.
Also, speaking of Nolan's new film, Interstellar, was only released in China a few days ago. Lu Zhou had been looking forward to this sci-fi masterpiece ever since he saw the trailer. It was just that he had been so busy recently that he had almost forgotten about this matter.
Coincidentally, he wanted to relax for the next two days.
"Okay then, see you at the school gate at two o 'clock tomorrow afternoon."
"That's a deal! Someone already stood me up, so you can't stand me up! Oh yeah, why are you panting so hard? "
Lu Zhou, "I'm playing basketball."
Chen Yushan was surprised, "You know how to play basketball?!"
Lu Zhou, "I'm just playing, I know how to play. Talk to you later."
"Oh, I'm going to memorize the words too. Bye."
"Bye."
Lu Zhou hung up the phone and put it back into his pocket. He looked at Shi Shang and asked, "What did you just say?"
