"Women's team competition, Group C, the game is over."
"Women's team competition, Group B, the game is over." With the cheers from the audience, the referees of Field One and Field Two blew their whistles almost at the same time, announcing the end of the game.
The two venues where the game ended began to be cleared at the same time. Several staff pushed mops and quickly cleaned the ground in preparation for the next game.
"Tsk," messages were sent frequently in the group. Hong Xiqi's game screen was constantly blocked. Because the start was not going well, she quit the game. After looking at the message sent by Coach Tan, she leaned forward and shouted , "Song Yimian, Coach Tan is looking for you and has called you many times in the group. Where is your cell phone!"
Song Yimian put down his pen when he heard the sound, turned around and took out his mobile phone from the inner pocket of his schoolbag. As soon as he opened it, it kept jumping and folding countless message strips.
While replying to Coach Tan's message, he replied to Hong Xiqi, "Guan Jingyin didn't hear you. I'm going over now."
"Did you understand what I just said? You wrote everything you know how to write and corrected any mistakes. I'll come back and read it later." He returned the paper to Tao You and said to her.
Gu Yi retracted his two stretched legs to make way for Song Yimian. He thought of something else, put down his phone and asked, "Brother Mian, what is Lao Tan doing with you now?"
Gu Yi touched his chin, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Could it be that those people are looking for you?"
Hong Xiqi reacted very quickly and said, "Are those on the referee's bench wearing red?"
Tao You also expressed surprise, "They are attracted to you?! You really hit the mark!" The second half of the sentence was addressed to Gu Yi, "How did you guess that?!"
Xie Yu and others didn't know what Tao You and the others were talking about, so they listened in confusion.
They all made their own guesses in their minds. Only Luo Xiaowei raised his eyes lightly and glanced at Song Yimian. There was no surprise or doubt, as if he had expected this incident.
"Referee's seat? What old man? Have a crush on you?!" Xie Yu grabbed a few key words, and several figures gradually emerged in his mind. He grabbed Song Yimian's wrist, and there was a hint of joy in his nervousness, "You, Please tell me clearly, what is going on?!"
Song Yimian didn't know why Xie Yu looked so nervous and happy. He had some suspicions in his mind, but because he wasn't sure yet and didn't want to be slapped in the face for being blindly confident, he just said, "They are talking nonsense. Coach Tan is looking for me."
Hearing that it was Coach Tan, Xie Yu calmed down a little, let go of his hand, and said with a stiff smile, "Oh, coach, it's okay, you can go." He let go of the hand that reached into the shoulder bag. Just picked up the pen and paper.
"Stop dawdling, walk quickly, don't let the coach wait for you, start running." Xie Yu shouted to Song Yimian, who was walking slowly.
Gu Yi got tired of playing with his cell phone, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and quickly caught up with Song Yimian, "Brother Mian, I'll go with you." There was no way he could be happy just sitting around and joining in the fun.
——————————————————————————————
Next to the screen behind the referee's bench, Coach Tan was chatting happily with several men of similar age wearing red.
"Song Yimian, come on, come on, come on." Coach Tan waved to Song Yimian from a distance, with a flattering smile on his face, and the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes showed a few more smiles.
"Let me introduce you." Coach Tan took Song Yimian in his arms, pointed to the three well-dressed men with slightly white hair in front of him, and introduced, "These three are the provincial team coaches, Coach Wang, Coach Zhang, This is Coach Li of the national team."
Song Yimian nodded slightly to the three of them and greeted them politely.
Coach Wang, who was standing in the middle, looked at Song Yimian, nodded with satisfaction, and slowly said, "Hello, Song Yimian, I am the head coach of the provincial tennis team, and my surname is Wang."
"We just watched your game and learned about your previous game results and professional training. After a simple evaluation, we agreed that your level is much higher than your age and you are very talented in tennis. So, I want to ask Are you willing to join the provincial team and continue to participate in the competition?"
"It just so happens that Coach Li is here today. Many athletes from our provincial team have entered the national team and have achieved
I hope my grades will be good and my bonuses will be considerable. The remaining details can be discussed slowly later. If you have any requirements, you can ask them at any time. You can also study your major in college as usual. "Coach Wang said, puffing up his chest slightly.
Song Yimian was very calm about this and was not tempted by what Coach Wang said.
"..." Coach Wang's statement can be said to have been tried and tested before. After all, there are still very few people who are professional, and most people just want to get extra points, but for this record, he Still very satisfied.
Before coming here, Coach Wang had a special understanding of Song Yimian's temperament and knew that he was a very independent young man who was not easily persuaded. He also discussed and listed many preferential treatment terms. Regardless of whether it was feasible in the end, at least it was left to him now. There is a lot of room for negotiation. Even the words he said were considered after a long time, and finally he chose the simplest physical temptation.
He also knew that today's conversation would not completely convince Song Yimian, and his heart might not even move at all, but at least it would let him know about this matter and this path, in case he changes his mind later.
The three coaches looked at Song Yimian with their hands behind their backs. On the surface, they looked confident and calm, but in their hearts they were already a little uneasy.
"Coach Wang, I'm sorry, I already have a target university," Song Yi replied in a moderate tone, not at all intimidated by the momentum of the three coaches. "Playing tennis has always been just a personal hobby of mine, and I participated in the competition because It’s a bonus, I haven’t thought about going in a career direction.”
"..."
Coach Tan proudly clasped his hands behind his back, glanced at Song Yimian, and said to the three coaches, "Think about it, don't make a decision in a hurry. Discuss this with your parents, you are very talented in tennis." Coach Tan calls it a day.
"Are you, Gu Yi?" Coach Li saw Gu Yi beside him, opened the folder, took a look, and said.
Gu Yi didn't expect to have his own business. He glanced sideways at Coach Tan and nodded obediently, "I am, three coaches."
The three coaches looked at each other in a tacit understanding, and then Coach Wang said on behalf of him, "Student Gu Yi, we have also evaluated your level."
Gu Yi became interested instantly. He took a step forward and his eyes brightened, "Then, what's the result?!"
Coach Li smiled gently, stretched out his index finger and tapped the folder he had opened in his hand, "It's also very good. He has talent. He has a flexible mind, knows how to adapt on the court, and can come up with unexpected moves. It's very good. .”
"It's not that great!" Gu Yi scratched his head in embarrassment and couldn't help but wonder, "If I go to the provincial team, the preferential terms, bonuses, accommodation, university majors, are these aspects similar to Song Yimian's?"
Coach Wang paused, thought for a few seconds, looked at each other with the other two coaches, and asked Coach Tan and Gu Yi to take a few steps back. They wanted to chat with Song Yimian alone.
"It's over, it's over?" Gu Yi didn't get the answer, and was pushed away by Coach Tan in confusion, "No, you haven't told me yet, is it the same?"
"Just leave if I ask you to. There's so much nonsense."
After Coach Tan and Gu Yi walked away, Coach Wang lowered his voice and said to Song Yimian, "Now there is another plan. I know that you and Gu Yi have been good friends since childhood. I see that Student Gu Yi is interested in this path." I'm also very interested. If you can come to the provincial team, we can make an exception and add another place to Gu Yi. The conditions are exactly the same as yours, bonus, accommodation, university major, etc., but as for how far the road ahead can go , It depends on him. What do you think?" After Coach Wang finished speaking, he licked his dry lips and swallowed.
He knew this plan was terrible, but no matter what, Gu Yi was considered a talent in tennis, and there were never too many talents in the provincial and national teams.
Song Yimian glanced at the three coaches in front of him with similar postures but completely different figures, and snorted coldly, "It means that if I go, Gu Yi is an additional condition. He is just a thing, casual If I move? The team won't protect his future path? Ha. Losing money business..."
"What do you mean?" Coach Li was a little dissatisfied with Song Yimian's attitude. "Although Gu Yi is a talented person,
, but for a talent like him, one more is not too much in our team, and one less is not too much. "
Song Yi pushed his hair impatiently, raised his head slightly and looked at the three coaches, put his hands in his pockets, licked the corners of his mouth, sneered again, and tugged wildly.
"Have you ever known Gu Yi? Do you know me? You just saw what you wanted to see," Song Yimian used 'you' politely, pointed behind him and danced silly in front of Coach Tan, Gu Yi, who had no idea that his fate was about to be rewritten, said, "He will participate in the national competition next year and win the first place in the national mathematics competition. He is one of the best talents in the world. When he wins the prize, the university will not Are you just letting him choose? Bonus, accommodation, and even the path after graduation, none of them are a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times better than being my additional conditions."
"You don't lack this talent, but other places lack it. Now you can regard him as an additional condition for me, then in the future I may also become an additional condition for others?"
"Now you feel that it is you who chooses him, or it depends on his own wishes."
"There are many ways to get me to go to your place, but you used a method that doesn't treat people as human beings." Song Yimian's anger almost overflowed from his brows. When others said bad things about him in front of him, maybe he He could pretend that he didn't hear anything, but he couldn't bear to say a word about Gu Yi, a fool, in front of him, "I'm sorry, I refuse.".z.
"I just, just..." Coach Wang also knew that his method would not be successful, but he had no choice. In recent years, there has been a shortage of talents in tennis, and old and experienced players have also been lacking. He is about to retire, and there are not many young people who can carry the banner, and he is so worried about the results of his performance... He was so worried that his hair turned several degrees gray before he figured it out. Such a last resort, "Hey, kid, we were too anxious about this and acted rudely. I'm sorry. Just pretend you've never heard of this."
Seeing Coach Tan walking towards them, Coach Wang cleared his throat and changed his tone, trying to make the atmosphere less solemn and pretending that nothing happened, "I will give my contact information to Coach Tan. You must think carefully about it." , Discuss it carefully with your parents. We still have something to do, so we’ll leave first." After Coach Wang finished speaking, he smiled and shook hands with Coach Tan to say goodbye.
After the three coaches left, Coach Tan and Gu Yi couldn't keep the smiles on their faces, and they felt a little proud when they received the looks from others.
"Coach Tan," Song Yimian waited until his expression returned to normal before turning around and asking, "Where's the captain? Didn't Coach Wang and the others look for him?"
Just like what Coach Wang said, he pretended that he didn't hear anything about it. Putting aside this episode, the three coaches also did it for their teams, and they were not wrong.
In fact, it was only because it was Gu Yi that he dared to refuse so decisively. Whenever Gu Yi's grades in cultural classes were very unsatisfactory and he was about to fail the college entrance examination, he would have to hesitate.
Hiss, does he have to thank Gu Yi for his clever mind in mathematics?
