south wind into my arms

Chapter 30 Future Star
Ling Junyu was very righteous to his buddies, so he had his cigars delivered to Shuqing Sports School the next day.The person who came to deliver the cigarettes was his assistant, a simple and capable woman.Although Ling Junyu's private life is a bit exciting, he never messes with men and women at work. His assistants are all strong women who can be used as men's ambassadors.

Nanfeng got the cigarette, turned around and gave it to Principal Wei.

Principal Wei is sad.Regarding whether the Shuqing Sports School should be banned, the Education Bureau has held several meetings, and now it has basically been determined, and the official notice is only in the past few days.

It's not that he didn't think of a way, it's just that the drums were broken and the walls were knocked down by everyone, no matter how hard he thought of a way, it was useless.

It was rare for Principal Wei to observe the cigars so closely. He took one and put it to his nose to smell it.The smell is a bit strange, rich and mellow, mixed with the aroma of pine wood and earth, it is not easy to describe.Principal Wei thought about his words for a long time, and finally said, "It's quite fragrant."

Nanfeng didn't speak.

Principal Wei squeezed a cigar and asked, "Isn't this thing expensive?"

"It's okay, I can buy you more than 200 packets of Hongtashan."

"This box?"

"One."

"..." Is this TM made of gold?
Principal Wei's actions suddenly became serious and cautious, for fear that the cigar would fall to the ground.He carefully put the cigarette back into the cigarette case, covered it, and asked Nanfeng, "You, this is for me?"

Nanfeng's eyes looked out the window.The northern land in winter is always gray, empty and desolate.He replied, "I heard you say that there is a head of the Education Bureau who likes cigars."

"There is such a thing," Principal Wei's eyes lit up, and he patted his Mediterranean head hard, "You mean..."

Nanfeng pushed the brown log cigarette case in front of Principal Wei, "I've given you the cigarette, you can decide what to do with it. Keep it for yourself or give it to someone else."

Principal Wei swallowed his saliva, and said his heart: "I want to sell it."

Principal Wei did not obey his inner desire.He gave the cigar to the leader of the bureau, hummed a little song when he came back, and looked in a good mood.

Nanfeng was watching Lu Sheng and Xu Zhiyao doing physical training.Seeing Headmaster Wei come back with a happy face, he was about to cock his tail behind him, Nan Feng asked, "Successful?"

"It's okay," Principal Wei said with a smile, "Nanfeng, thank you this time."

Nanfeng's eyes fell on the two people on the sports field.His gaze was a little soft, and he shook his head slightly, "You're welcome. I registered the two of them for the competition in the name of Shuqing Sports School, and I don't want the school to collapse too soon."

Principal Wei froze his ears: "What competition? Is there any prize money?"

"'Future Star' Cup National Youth Tennis Competition."

As for the issue of bonuses, Nanfeng didn't pay attention, but there should be some.Inexplicably, Nanfeng couldn't help but smile when he thought of the last time Lu Sheng handed over all the competition prize money to him.

Principal Wei looked at the corners of Nan Feng's slightly raised lips, and thought to himself, it seems that the bonus is a lot this time.

In fact, the prize money of the "Future Star" Cup Youth Tennis Competition is not high, but the singles champion can get financial assistance to go to a tennis school abroad for one year.

This tennis match was sponsored and hosted by a well-known domestic company, and had nothing to do with the official sports department.In other words, there is no official resume bonus for playing this game, and it has no effect on the players' international rankings. Even if they fight to the end and win the championship, the biggest gain is just an opportunity to study tennis abroad.

Therefore, those young players who are really famous may not come, so it can only be the "Future Star" Cup, not the "Today's Star" Cup.

Naturally, since it is a nationwide competition with good rewards, its level is still much higher than that of the youth tennis competition in the T City Games.

Moreover, there are occasionally one or two dark horses in this competition. They are naturally talented, but they have not met a good school or coach. At this time, the opportunity to study abroad is very important to them.

As soon as Lu Sheng saw the word "National" in the competition, she felt a little guilty, and asked Nanfeng, "There are quite a lot of masters in the national competition, right? Where do you think I can get?"

Nanfeng replied, "Lu Sheng, don't set limits on yourself before the game. It's possible to finish at any number. It may be eliminated in the BJ station, or it may be the national championship."

The word "champion" shocked Lu Sheng.

Xu Zhiyao asked, "Coach, is there no doubles in this competition?"

"Yes, on the last page."

"Oh, oh," he turned to the last page of the leaflet, read it quickly, and said, "Why is the bonus for mixed doubles so low? Is it enough to buy a piece of ice cream? Oh, junior sister, why do you say doubles? The prize money is always lower than that of singles? Does the organizer not care about other people's doubles..."

Nanfeng glanced at him lightly, his cool gaze made Xu Zhiyao feel guilty.Then he plucked up the courage to stare back, but Nan Feng's gaze had already left and landed on Lu Sheng's shoulder.

Ding Xiaoxiao was embracing Lu Sheng's shoulders, and said with a smile, "What is a double-in pair, Yaoyao, don't use idioms indiscriminately! This is how Shengsheng and I are in a double-in-right pair!"

Nan Feng tapped on the table lightly, a little impatiently, "Speak business."

Ding Xiaoxiao nodded, "Let's talk about business and business... Nanfeng, why did you sign up Shengsheng and Yaoyao for such a competition? Do you want them to go abroad for further studies?"

Lu Sheng and Xu Zhiyao also looked at Nanfeng together, but their expressions were quite different.Xu Zhiyao was eager to try, but Lu Sheng seemed a little worried.

Nanfeng didn't answer Ding Xiaoxiao's question.He looked at Lu Sheng, looked into her clear and clean eyes, and asked, "Lu Sheng, do you want to—"

"I don't want to go abroad," Lu Sheng interrupted him suddenly, looking a little anxious, "I, I don't want to..." I don't want to be separated from you.

Nan Feng paused, seeing reluctance clearly written on her face.This feeling of being dependent and nostalgic inexplicably made his heart feel a little hot.

He smiled and said softly, "Stupid? If I want you to study abroad, do I need to pass the game?"

"Ah?" Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then his face was stained with surprise, as long as we don't separate!

Ding Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin, and said strangely, "It's not for going abroad, so why are you signing up for this competition? There are so many other competitions you can apply for!"

Nan Feng shook his head, gently twirling the colorful leaflet with his fingertips, "Other competitions are either too difficult or too difficult, this one is just right."

"What do you mean?"

Nan Feng looked at Lu Sheng again and said, "I just wanted to ask, Lu Sheng, do you want to join the provincial team?"

Lu Sheng was taken aback by the question.Provincial team?She never thought about this issue, and felt that the provincial team was far away from her, like another mysterious organization.She has been in Shuqing Sports School for more than four years, living a simple and repetitive life every day, and staying here has become a habit. Now, when she is suddenly asked if she wants to go to another place, she is a little strange and uneasy.

She pursed her lips and asked Nan Feng, "Coach Nan, do you want me to join the provincial team?"

"Huh? Don't ask me, ask your own heart. Do you want to enter or not."

Ding Xiaoxiao patted Lu Sheng on the shoulder lightly, "Shengsheng, the provincial team is worth considering! You can meet more teammates, play many games, and have a monthly allowance. If you perform well, you can enter the national team Oh, representing China to play against foreigners. Your coach Nan used to be part of the national team."

These words moved Lu Sheng's heart.It is impossible to be an athlete without a bit of aggressiveness.Why doesn't Lu Sheng want to become stronger and compete in world-class competitions?She looked up at Nanfeng and asked, "Is that so?"

"Well, it's basically true."

"That……"

At this time, Xu Zhiyao interjected, "Coach Nan, you only asked if Lu Sheng wants to join the provincial team, but how can the provincial team be so easy?"

Nan Feng finally turned his gaze, yes, and Xu Zhiyao, he ignored him again.

Xu Zhiyao said: I am used to it...

Nanfeng asked Xu Zhiyao, "Do you want to join the provincial team?"

Xu Zhiyao replied without thinking: "Junior Sister, I will join... But I heard that the provincial team is not easy to enter! In particular, our provincial tennis team is a strong national team, and many players from other provinces come to T City to file. The competition is fierce."

Due to the high professionalization of tennis, players can travel to different places.It doesn't mean that people from BJ's native place can only join the BJ tennis team, and they can also join other provincial teams, as long as they register.

Hearing what Xu Zhiyao said, Lu Sheng also asked, "Yes, coach, even if we want to enter the provincial team, how can we enter?"

Nan Feng pondered, "This tennis match, if you can reach the top four in the national championship, I can find a way to let you enter the provincial team."

Lu Sheng asked, "What about you? How do you get in? Can we bring you in?"

Before Nanfeng could answer, Ding Xiaoxiao poked Lu Sheng on the head first, "Silly girl, what kind of wrist is your coach Nan? There is no one before or after, let alone the provincial team, if you want to coach in the national team, that's right. It's a matter of minutes."

Lu Sheng relaxed and giggled, she looked at Nanfeng with bright and enthusiastic eyes.

Nan Feng suddenly turned his head, his eyelids drooped slightly, covering his sight.

"Let's train," he said.

The next day, Nanfeng asked a coach of the provincial team to have dinner.

The coach's name is Li Weiguo, 56 years old this year, and has been practicing for more than 30 years.Li Weiguo has been in the provincial team of T City for more than [-] years, and has brought out many heavyweight athletes. He was also the leader of Nanfeng when he entered the provincial team, and he also brought Qiao Wanwan later.So in name, Nanfeng is Qiao Wanwan's senior brother.

However, Nanfeng really stayed in the provincial team for less than a year.At that time, he was successful in his youth, turned out to be born, and led the T city tennis team to win the men's singles and men's team championships in the National Games.Later, he didn't want to be constrained by the system, so he hired a coaching team. Although he still belonged to the provincial team and the national team in form, he was already flying solo in essence, and he just needed to come back for training when playing games.Four years later, at the National Games again, he and Qiao Wanwan represented the T city team in the mixed doubles, and they naturally won the championship.

Tennis is a highly professional sport. In view of this, the current relationship between the national team and the provincial team is different from other sports.For example, the swimming team performed well in the provincial team. After being selected for the national team, they basically trained with the national team.Tennis is a completely different format: players train in provincial teams and, depending on their level, play different professional games.The players selected for the national team are only registered and filed, and they do not usually train with the national team. They only go to the national team for training when there are major international events, such as the Asian Games and the Olympic Games.

In addition, with the high degree of professionalization of tennis, the management system of players is also very different from before.The selection and training that used to be a nationwide system is quietly changing.Although tennis players who are paid by the state are still the mainstream, those professional players who are outside the system are increasing.These people are called "self-employed".They train at their own expense, compete at their own expense, and some with outstanding results may also be employed by a provincial team.However, there is a prerequisite for doing so: enough money.

Either the bonus and endorsement fee are enough, or the family is rich, or the talent is extraordinary or someone is willing to spend money to support the performance... In short, there must be enough money to support themselves.

As for whether Lu Sheng should go to the provincial team or become a "self-employed person", Nanfeng's primary consideration is naturally not money.

Nanfeng's father has blocked the economy in recent years. Relying on his previous savings, he has invested in two small companies. It is not easy to make money, and he can no longer spend money like he used to.Even so, he has a mentality of "no matter how hard it is, the child can't suffer", so what he eats and uses for Lu Sheng is the best.At this stage, Lu Sheng can still pay the money as a "self-employed".

However, he felt that Lu Sheng was too innocent, like a blank sheet of paper, which was good or bad.She should go to a big group, meet more people and experience more.

Nanfeng felt a little emotional.He felt that he had completely regarded himself as Lu Sheng's guardian in the past few years.While caring about her physical development, she also pays attention to her cultural achievements, and always worry about the child's spiritual growth and mental health. Really, I can't finish worrying.

However, he is willing.
