Ping Pong Life

Chapter 10
The next day, Wang Chao got up very early and got out of bed at six o'clock. The sky outside had just revealed a ray of white rainbow, but Wang Mei got up earlier and had already gone out.

Wang Chao hastily disposed of the two steamed buns and a boiled egg that were still cold on the table, and went out to Huimin Barbershop.

The owner of the barber shop is in his 30s, with gaudy hair, half long and half short, towering high above his head, looking like a half-burned red cliff.

According to Wang Chao's speculation, this should be done on purpose by himself. After all, the name Erzhuzi is too earthy, and he must do something about his hairstyle to be worthy of the tall stage name of Mr. Tony.

Teacher Tony is a nice person. On the first day, he warned Wang Chao earnestly: "Look hard and learn hard. Other masters like to hide their crafts. I don't hide them here. When you learn it, you will replace me and be the store manager. It's time to give you a raise."

Wang Chao asked, "What about you?"

"I'm planning to open a milk tea shop." Teacher Tony said confidently: "I heard that there is a milk tea brand that is doing very well recently. I plan to open a franchise store."

Wang Chao really wanted to tell him that the milk tea shop is a tiankeng, and nine out of ten of those who opened milk tea franchise stores in their previous lives lost their pants.

However, he is just a scumbag, and he couldn't even pass the university entrance exam. How much weight can he say?
It is better to hide clumsiness.

The morning time passed quickly.

Huimin's barbershop has a good business. Mr. Tony has been busy, and Wang Chao has been watching. After watching, he knows to help pass tools, and then, he knows to help shave, and then...

He didn't dare to wash the customers' hair, because the little girl who was in charge of washing the hair looked at him warily all morning, as if she was afraid that he would take away her job.

All in all, the first day at work, everything went well.

It wasn't until lunch time that Han Feng and others came to find him.

"Hey, Sister Mei said that you are an apprentice here, we thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect that you would really be King Tony?"

The friends were laughing and laughing, causing Teacher Tony next to him to cough lightly. Wang Chao then hurriedly said, "Let me introduce you. This is my boss, Teacher Tony."

The three of them knew that they had said something wrong, so they quickly apologized, and said, "Chaozi, are you going to play golf this afternoon?"

Wang Chao sighed, remembering Wang Mei's tired face, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it in a few days."

Seeing the three of them leave, Teacher Tony expressed his satisfaction and said, "Wang Chao, you are different from them. They will have a family to help you in the future. You can only rely on yourself in the future. Sister Mei cannot be relied on, so don't patronize me." Play it, take care."

He took out 500 yuan in his pocket and handed it to Wang Chao: "I will prepay part of this month's subsidy to you. Today is your first day at work, so get off work early and go to the vegetable market." Cut off half a catty of meat and bring it back to make Sister Mei happy."

Wang Chao hurriedly thanked him, but felt a little apologetic in his heart.

He could see that the boss sincerely wanted to train him, but it was a pity that his future was definitely not to inherit this shop and become a happy boy who washed, cut and blown.

He plans to go to work for a few days first, and when his mother is emotionally stable, he will have a serious talk with her about his future plans.

But he didn't know how much disturbance the game at the Mingyue Stadium yesterday had caused in the Jiangcheng table tennis training base.

……

"Have you confirmed the ranking of the assessment? Is there anything that needs to be adjusted?"

Wang Bin, the head coach of the Jiangcheng table tennis team's substitute team, sorted out the thick stack of "Jiangcheng table tennis team's main players and substitute players internal relegation evaluation (supplement) list", and routinely glanced at the three team leaders in front of him. Coach's face.

The three leading coaches, Li Zhenguo, Zhao Fuqiang, and Tian Qi, were Lao Li, Lao Zhao, and Lao Tian in the Mingyue Pavilion yesterday.

This is a very common routine morning meeting in the training base, almost once or twice a month.

The internal round-robin competition determines the game status and training effect of each player, and re-ranks the players at the same time.Then arrange the next training of the players according to the ranking.

The so-called ranking is actually the final ranking of the big cycle.

Jiangshan, 15 wins and 0 losses, ranked first.

Field, 14 wins and 1 loss, ranked second.

Tian Zhengguang, 11 wins and 4 losses, ranked third.

Li Mu, 11 wins and 4 losses, ranked 4th.

Zhao Ge, 10 wins and 5 losses, ranked 5th.

……

Long Tao, 4 wins and 11 losses, ranked 13th.

……

Wang Bin glanced over the form in his hand, and suddenly paused.

"what?"

He looked up at Tian Qi: "Why did Tian Zhengguang lose so much this time?"

Tian Qi explained with a normal expression: "Have you forgotten? Yesterday the base had a temporary power outage, and we had to go to the Mingyue Pavilion for assessment. It was a bit noisy there, and there were many people watching. It is normal for the players to fluctuate to a certain extent."

Wang Bin nodded, but then said: "In this way, Tian Zhengguang's psychological quality still needs to be strengthened, but Li Mu's psychological quality is good, and his progress is fast enough. I remember last month's assessment, he only won 7 wins, right? "

Before Tian Qi had time to say anything, Li Zhenguo rushed to say: "Yes, this kid has a very good mental quality, and he has also practiced very hard recently. He won the match against Tian Zhengguang yesterday, and it was just because all the games were added. The goal difference is 3 less than Tian Zhengguang, so he is ranked 4th."

Wang Bin nodded, but did not continue the conversation.

As the head coach, he still has some understanding of the intrigue of the three leading coaches under his opponents.

Basically, in the current bench team, No.1 and No.2 are very stable, namely Jiangshan and Tianye.

The competition for No.3 is more subtle. In the past six months, Tian Zhengguang, Li Mu, and Zhao Ge have been competing for it.

In the past two months, Tian Zhengguang has stabilized the third position. If he stabilizes this month, he will basically be considered as a seated position.

However, Tian Zhengguang lost the chain this time.

This gave Li Mu and Zhao Ge a chance to take the top position.

In fact, just looking at the surnames of these three players and comparing the surnames of the three coaches, you can tell that there is something tricky in it.

Zhao Fuqiang is Zhao Ge's distant uncle.

Li Zhenguo is Li Mu's biological uncle.

And Tian Qi, whose real name is Tian Qiya, comes from a very backward remote mountain village. All the people living in that village are surnamed Tian, ​​and the dolls are all ranked according to age. He ranks 7th, and Tian Zhengguang ranks 23rd...

So strictly speaking, he is Tian Zhengguang's older brother—although there is a ten-year difference between the two.

Wang Bin went straight to the point: "The relegation match against the home team is going to be played next week. We have to decide who will play today."

Tian Qi smiled and said: "I think, let's just use the old rules, the top three players in the big cycle will play."

Of course Li Zhenguo was unwilling: "This time Li Mu and Tian Zhengguang have the same points, I think they should at least let them fight again, and whoever wins will play, that's only fair."

Zhao Fuqiang also said: "I think what Lao Li said is right, a fight is the most straightforward."

Tian Qi was unwilling: "The team members just played a big cycle yesterday, and they are physically exhausted. Seeing that the relegation match is about to be played, I think the most important thing now is to rest before the battle and recharge your batteries."

Li Zhenguo laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Tian Zhengguang can't beat Li Mu?"

Tian Qi refused to answer directly, but shook his head and said: "The rules cannot be broken."

Zhao Fuqiang refused to help this time, and leaned back with a smile, and began to watch the fun.
