Not long after.
A call from the Organizing Committee arrived.
Vice President Qi Yihai immediately said: "Teacher Zhang, pick someone else."
Zhang Ye said: "Lillian is the most suitable person."
"This person you picked is too difficult to get." Qi Yihai kept shaking his head. "We don't have the budget for that. It's really difficult to invite an international superstar like her."
Zhang Ye said: "Can't you play the emotional card?"
Qi Yihai said: "She might not buy it."
Zhang Ye blinked. "What about the sentimental card?"
Qi Yihai thought about it. "You're suggesting that we use her grandmother as a reason?"
Zhang Ye said: "I'm not suggesting that. This is the job of the Organizing Committee. I am only offering some advice, that's all. I don't care about the other things, nor do I have power to do so."
Qi Yihai couldn't come up with a reply.
