I want to go to the tennis club.
I want to switch to tennis.
Chuan'er, I must talk to you about this.
Switching to tennis at the age of twenty-two?
There's no such precedent in this world.
I am the precedent.
Am I crazy?
A little bit.
Just consider me as rebellious!
The more others say I can't do it, the more I want to prove to them that I can.
Anyway, I made up my mind.
When the time comes and it doesn't work out, I will come back and
continue to be a coach for children. This job is not bad.
There's no problem with what you said.
When I was playing badminton, I was carrying another's dream and pretending I had a lot of dreams to pursue.
This time,
I want to choose my own path.
Whether good or bad, I don't need to rely on others for these.
Agreed.
Say no more.
If you have thought it through, just do it. Cheers!
Here.
What? I lost ten followers in three days.
My main job is going down.
Hello.
- Hello. - Liang Tao, right?
Hello, I'm Ming Yu.
Hello. Nice to meet you.
Can I help you?
I used to work with Sister You'an.
She asked me to take care of you.
What is your job?
I am Mr. Jiang Jie's secretary.
Mr. Jiang Jie?
Vice President of our Marketing Department?
That's right.
[Pass card: Gary Ming, Secretary to Vice President]
Brother Ming Yu, you hold a high position. You must have access to a lot of places. Right?
I took a walk here in the past
and discovered that my staff card had no access.
This area can only be used by those from the director's level and above.
Actually, there's not much to see.
It's just some conference rooms and a few executive offices.
Hello?
Okay, I'll go and get it.
Liang Tao, once you are done walking around, go back to your workplace.
Fine, don't worry about me.
A day in the life of an executive assistant to the president.
My family arranged this job for me. Working undercover at a top 500 fortune company.
Experience seeing the world from the perspective of a president.
Please like and follow me for updates.
Good shot!
Hey, let's play two rounds.
I'm not playing. Go ahead. I'm looking at cute influencers.
Such a coward.
Keep going.
Hey, Two Jiao, come here now.
Stand in for me.
If you call me Two Jiao again, I will beat you up.
Look at this.
Why does this look like my car?
Isn't this your watch? Take a look.
Send me the link.
Okay.
Sent.
She likes to play this kind of game.
Because I saw many girls asking Sister Shuang about her skincare routines on the public screen,
the kind of healthy food to eat, the kind of outfits to wear for workouts,
- We both have the last name of Liang. - I will answer all of these questions at once.
I pray that my livestream will be a success later.
Hello, everyone. I am Peach Peach.
[Little Red Book: Your subscribed account, Peach Peach, is live streaming. Check it out.]
That's all for the introduction of the outfits.
If you have any questions, the floor is open.
Is the company you are working at owned by your boyfriend's family?
No, I asked my dad for the job referral.
I want to learn more.
Clout chaser, still pretending here.
[I love to eat Peach, sent a flower.] [I love to eat Peach, sent a hug.]
[I love to eat Peach, sent a glow stick.]
[I love to eat Peach, sent a flower.]
Wow. Welcome, everyone.
Thank you, "I love to eat Peach."
Wifey doesn't give me a status. I am so sad.
I drove my "horse" out. (Slang for Ferrari sports car)
Waiting for you to finish the livestream.
Hey, is this your boyfriend or husband?
Is this that guy who drives a sports car?
Why is he giving virtual gifts?
I welcome everyone to follow my account,
"I love to eat Peach".
[I welcome everyone to follow my account, "I Love to eat Peach".]
[The livestreaming has ended.] [Peach Peach: Followed.]
See if I don't scare you to death.
[I love to eat Peach.]
It's him.
These are our outdoor training courts. There aren't many members at the moment.
Some courts are still vacant.
You quit your job as the dog walker. Will you still run?
I just started work at this club. I won't have the time to run. There are too many things to take care of.
Same for you. You won't have the time either.
The gymnasium is ahead. I'm taking you to check it out.
This is our club's gymnasium. Please take a look.
The business hours are 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
There are some massage devices piled up here.
You can relax here.
This is our physical therapy room.
Master Zhang, continue with what you are doing.
This is our stringer, Master Lu. He is usually here every Tuesday and Saturday.
- Hello. - Hello.
After making a round, what do you think?
Great. Your hardware is fully equipped.
This place is different. Unlike a professional team, there are no dormitories or canteens.
The physical therapist and stringer are part-timers. They are here only twice a week.
Most importantly, people pay for training and membership fees to play tennis here.
You don't need to pay any because you are not a real player.
You are also a staff of the club.
Your base salary is ¥6,000. A salary increase is based on your capability.
Is that okay?
Okay.
I prepared a set of work uniforms for you.
This tennis racket is a basic version.
Once you are familiar with it, let me know anytime if you need any adjustments.
I think
I can't use force to spin the ball.
It won't spin.
Let me do the introduction. This is Song Sanchuan,
an ex-professional badminton player.
He's officially joining our club today.
His current responsibility is court support.
Manager Liang, let me get this clear.
A badminton player is here to support us on the tennis court.
Are we switching to a badminton club?
No need for you to switch. He will switch.
This court support job includes
court maintenance, scheduling, players' records,
and also, assisting the coach.
Isn't he just an errand boy?
It's more than that.
You can count on him for the most basic training, the dirtiest and most tiring tasks.
I also welcome everyone to abuse him on the court and train him.
What do you mean?
He wants to switch from badminton to tennis?
That's right. The deadline is three months.
After three months, the team can vote on whether he can successfully switch to tennis and remain here.
What a joke!
I'm Song Sanchuan. Pease guide me.
So, this is your major tactic after many days?
Yes. Coach Wang, I'll leave him in your care in the future.
You can assign any work to him.
No. No way.
Liang You'an.
Who is it?
What's your intention?
Who are you humiliating by recruiting an idiot like him?
He's a professional and almost got into the national team.
His sports attributes are better than you guys.
But he's also just a badminton player.
I'm telling you! Let that idiot go now.
Jiang Jiaojiao, watch your mouth. Does your dad know you talk like this?!
Don't use my dad to suppress me.
Fine.
Tell me how you can stay so comfortably in the club
without producing results and having everyone revolve around you?
- Isn't it because of your dad? - Of course not.
What is it then?
It's because I have charisma.
Why are you laughing? Stop it.
Sorry. I couldn't hold back just now.
Fine.
Whatever charisma and who your dad is, aren't important.
In competitive sports, there's only one hard currency. That's relying on strength to deliver results.
Since you look down on him that much, you better not embarrass yourself.
Based on what I know about Song Sanchuan, he has a strong learning ability.
Don't let him surpass you after three months.
By then, you'll really be humiliated.
Fine.
Three months, right?
He won't last that long.
Okay, let's eat.
This dish is fresh.
It has been a while since we drank. Have a glass with me.
You're in a good mood today.
Cheers.
Liang You'an finally agreed to manage the tennis club.
I can finally stop worrying.
She even said she would do it well.
I don't understand why you recruited her. What's the meaning of this?
Can she play tennis? Does she know how to be a manager?
Is our club such an eyesore to you?
If you don't fall down, it's not considered the end. Right?
I'm saving your club by letting her go there.
Wow, what a huge sacrifice.
If you send her to us, no one will be on your side. Right?
What's wrong with you? Do you have a brain?
It's because I have one that I can tell what you're trying to do.
I think...
We should stop having a family meal starting from next week.
Anyway, we haven't had any peaceful meals.
I bought groceries early this morning to prepare the food.
I put in so much effort.
Have the two of you actually tasted the food?
Praised my cooking skills?
I'm the only one who took this meal seriously.
The two of you are treating it like it was to complete a task.
Let's stop going through the motions in the future.
Dear, Chen Ke,
no need to make an issue out of this.
What do you mean by going through the motions?
I'm usually very busy at work.
I told my staff it was a directive not to contact me on Saturday afternoons.
Why? So that we can have a family meal.
I'm sorry.
Don't be angry. It was our fault. We shouldn't have argued.
Let's eat. We won't argue again in the future.
- All right? We won't argue. - Yeah, we won't.
Let's eat. Come, let's eat.
Mom, have another. Double dose of love.

Song Sanchuan!
- Good. - I recorded this data.
Well done.
What's up?
You fixed the coach's table?
I found a toolbox in the storeroom today. Hence, I fixed it.
Not bad. You are observant and have initiative.
Take a look. I took stock of the storeroom's inventory.
We still have enough rackets and balls to keep up with the court bookings.
We don't need to get more for the time being.
The issue at hand now is the courts.
The courts have varying degrees of wear and tear, and need to be repaired.
I actually noticed it when I first arrived.
But the biggest issue is that our club doesn't have the funds.
The courts are generally okay except for...
Outdoor Court 8.
Look. The frequency of bookings for Court 8 is clearly a lot lower than the others.
After all, it's the same for everyone. Who would want to play on a bad court?
And those water dispensers over there.
I cleaned them this morning.
The interior was really too dirty.
This happened to my team in the past.
The bacteria exceeded the approved standard from years of irregular cleaning of the dispensers, which led to mass gastroenteritis.
You did so much work.
What time did you arrive today?
6:00.
Now that I can't play, I can only do what I can.
After all, everyone here knows that I'm the charity case you recruited.
I can't embarrass you.
I'm going to record data.
Great.
- Get ready. - Well done.
Song Sanchuan, come to the outdoor courts.
Song Sanchuan, booking for Court 3 is canceled. Redo the schedule.
Song Sanchuan, there are two rackets at the entrance of the Stringing Room. String them now.
Song Sanchuan, come and help Jiaojiao with his rehabilitation.
Okay. Be right there.
[Physiotherapy Room]
I've been observing you for a few days.
You are really funny.
If what Liang You'an said is true, that you are an amazing athlete,
you can even do massages for others?
Don't you have any pride?
Can I keep my pride by doing this?
It's done.
Do you think this is fun?
I'll be honest.
Even if you can get into the national badminton team,
you're not even as valuable as a tennis ball here.
I don't mind if you want to earn some honest money here as the club's handyman,
just don't dream about becoming my teammate.
If you do, you'll be taking tennis too lightly.
Don't let it bother you.
What?
He's not a bad person. He just has a sharp tongue.
One look and you know he's a sheltered kid.
Tennis is very important to him.
There's nothing wrong with what he said.
I really can't play tennis now.
It's the truth and can't be hidden.
Nothing to be ashamed of. If I can't play after three months,
I really deserve to be looked down upon by others.
Do you know? When I was in my workplace,
everyone wanted to fake their weaknesses and shortcomings.
What a coincidence.
When I'm on the court, these are what I can't fake.
If I can't even accept myself, I will be sorely defeated by my opponent.
Don't worry.
These things don't stress me out at all.
2, 3. Okay, again.
Get ready.

The interior of my father's company is ordinary.
Is that where Peach works?
So, this is the father-in-law's company.
Does your father still need a daughter-in-law?
This young couple is so sweet.
[Where did you get the photo?]
Where did you get the photo?
This is my dad's company. Of course, I have the photo.
[This is my Dad's company. Of course, I have the photo]
What's the meaning of this handle that you created?
I am speaking the truth. I love to eat peaches.
I'm not like you, who loves to lie.
What do you want?
[Young Space Tennis Club]
Song Sanchuan, come here!
- You are with him. - Okay.
Song Sanchuan, come here!
Jiaojiao, take a break.
What's up, Coach Wang?
Are you stealing coaches for yourself?
Do you know how to serve?
Show me a few serves.
Okay.
Not bad.
One more time.
- Not bad. - Come here.
You have been here for less than two week. Right?
You did well. Serving is the hardest to break through.
I'm coaching him on internal shoulder rotation now.
Everyone on the team now has a nickname for him, "Human Tennis Ball Machine."
Everyone looks for him to practice receiving serves.
Everyone looks for me because I am smarter than a tennis ball machine.
Not bad. Not bad.
- Keep practicing. - Okay.
His serve is not bad.
His side spin and top spin...
- They are really interesting. - Coach Wang!
This...
Manager Liang.
This is Song Sanchuan's training record.
- You can take a look. - Okay.
[Young Space Tennis Club Training Registration Record] [Sanchuan: 500]
Did you record it wrong?
How could this be possible?
I once arrived at 7:00 a.m.,
and saw him practicing on the outdoor tennis court.
He was already practicing his swings.
The janitor said he had started practicing at 6:00 a.m.
Every day, after everyone has left,
he will continue to practice for two more hours.
His enthusiasm is scary.
At first, my idea of recruiting Song Sanchuan into the club,
was to use his achievements as a professional athlete to boost the atmosphere of the entire team.
But now, I think...
Song Sanchuan can ignite the fire in this club
and ignite everyone.
Jiaojiao, I think you should stop competing with Sanchuan.
He looks capable.
It's typical of a show-off.
I don't think so.
I just saw him serve two shots. They were good.
If you think it's good, go and practice with him!
Serve two shots to me again!
[Rest Area]
Hey!
Newcomer, how about playing a few sets?
Okay. Bring it on.
Out!
Once more.
Newcomer,
you can only serve and can't receive?
- Let's play a few friendly games. - Okay.
Come. Newcomer, come here.
Did you know you crossed over? This is tennis.
- Your earlier posture and steps, one look and I can tell it's badminton. - Well...
Assistant Coach only taught me how to serve.
I learned these steps in actual scenarios.
I didn't pay the tuition fee after all.
Do you want to learn? I will coach you.
You don't need to pay.
- Why? - It's fun!
Who else can make me play so cowardly on this court?
If I don't take advantage of your weakness and incompetence, who else can I bully?
Aren't you the worst on this tennis court?
- You are the worst, and you want to coach me... - I've time to spare.
Do you want to learn?
Okay. I'll learn.
Let me tell you.
Since I was young, I have had the heart to weed out the strong and support the weak.
I watch you being tired from practicing diligently here every day, and being unable to get a coach.
That is why, your Older Brother will teach you.
Wait. Wait a minute. How old are you?
I am twenty-one. How about you?
I am twenty-two. I am older than you.
Based on seniority of the game, a senior apprentice brother is also called Older Brother.
Hurry up and get the balls.
I'll feed you a few forehand volleys first.
Get a good grip on your racket. Ready, here it comes.
One... two... three... go.
Step out with your right foot first.
And step out again. One... two... three... go.
Your leg must go down. It must go down to protect your leg.
Put your weight on this leg.
Take a break and practice again later.
Come, have a bottle of water.
Replenish the electrolytes.
- Are you not taking a rest? - You can rest.
I want to practice a bit more.
Are you an alien, buddy?
How do you have unlimited energy?
How many hours did your previous team practice daily?
We practiced for eight to nine hours daily.
Eight to nine hours daily?
Brother, you are really my older brother!
I'll throw you a few more balls.
Sounds good.
Get into a ready position.
Raise your racket higher.
Remember what I told you. Step out with your right foot first.
Place your weight on your left foot.
[Young Space Tennis Club]
Come in.
Manager Liang, looking for me?
Coach Wang, I would like to talk to you regarding something.
Chen Zhe's substitute coach told me that
because he has been coaching tennis to Song Sanchuan lately,
he didn't regulate the actions based on the rules.
If everything is done right, advancement is obvious.
This is his latest training record.
He has distinctly improved a lot.
He's not good at learning but serious about coaching.
[Chen Zhe's training record]
Just like what you previously said,
this bunch of kids have no motivation to practice on their own.
But now that they have a senior apprentice brother,
they are more motivated to coach him than to practice on their own.
Coaching and learning will mutually help each other. Of course, there will be progress.
You can see the answers on the paper. Hence, Coach Wang,
look at the attendance records of our coaches.
Isn't this according to the implemented system, too?
Manager Liang, I admit that
you made a big move by recruiting Song Sanchuan into this club.
There's high enthusiasm in the club now.
but this is not the result of the training record.
More than one person has reported this to me.
I can't keep doing this.
This is not difficult at all.
If the system and rules of this club can never be conformed,
it will always be the same as before.
- We will be poor. - Manager Liang,
you don't even know how to play tennis and have never stepped foot on the court!
You sit in your office making rules to torment us in sports. Is this reasonable?!
Let's talk about the contents of this training plan.
That plan can't catch up with the changes.
This morning, a team member said he hurt his shoulder.
He changed to practicing steps and running positions.
You said we can't change the contents of our training plan.
- Isn't this a bunch of nonsense? - I didn't say you can't change.
You can adjust it anytime.
- It's fine as long as you keep records. - How to do that?
We ignore everything?
We ignore our team members? We just keep records?!
Let me tell you. No one is happy with your training record.
You can think about it. Think it over again.
One more time!
Good job!
Let's take a rest!
You are really not bad at this.
You didn't take a break the entire morning.
Do you think I can be a good coach if I can't be a good player?
Seriously speaking, there's a sense of accomplishment in coaching you.
You'll, more or less, be able to do this after being coached for a few days.
You are great at coaching.
Thank you, buddy.
Who is your buddy?
I...
I didn't think before I spoke.
I've never thought of freeloading on a buddy.
What do you mean?
I exhausted myself from coaching you, and I am not worth being your buddy?
Okay. What do you want?
That's what I initially thought.
No matter what, I'm your coach and mentor,
and you are still here feeling inferior and being sensitive with me?
I will accept you as my buddy then.
I think you are not so bad at times.
And then...
I will stop. If I keep talking, I'll feel gross.
I am leaving!
Dai Yi, your forehand top spin is incorrect.
Practice again.
Dai Yi, what are you looking at? Start playing now!
Mom, stop picking up the balls and go home!
Pick up your racket now.
Look at how you played. You still have the cheek to throw the racket?!
The league's coaching selection will be in a few months.
Do you still want to attend?
Your standard is so unstable!
If I don't pick up balls for you, you'll have less time to practice!
I am almost eighteen.
I bring my mom to practice tennis every day!
You don't find it shameful but I do!
[Rest Area]
Dai Yi, go and check other clubs!
For families like ours, as long as there are kids playing tennis in the families,
who doesn't fail to use money and connections?!
Since you started practicing when you were young, I've always been with you.
What's wrong now?
So what if you are eighteen?!
Do you dislike...
Do I embarrass you?
Are you ashamed because of me?!
Da Yi's mother,
don't be agitated.
It is too hot today. Let's take a seat in my office.
Let's chat.
Here. Please drink some water.
What's wrong with this tennis club?
The manager and coaching methods keep changing.
At times, the classes are not full.
I wanted to transfer Da Yi from this club a long time ago.
Yes, I can fully understand your feelings.
I will quickly resolve the problems you mentioned.
Please give me some time.
You can trust me.
[Young Space Tennis Club] [West]
If you don't want me to stay, I will leave first.
You've half an hour of class left today. Go home on your own when you are done.
Da Yi's mother.
I am new to the club. I'm Song Sanchuan.
I have something I would like to discuss with you.
[Rest Area]
Come forward!
Auntie, are you using this bag?
Give it to me.
Will I be in your way if I am over here?
You can continue!
Get ready.
Great!
Hello, Alex.
I am managing a tennis club now.
I have a favor to ask you. [Young Space Tennis Club]
Your steps are not correct.
You always slide to the sides to get back into position.
One... two... three... four... five... six... seven... eight...
You waste a lot of time this way
but if you use cross-over steps...
one... two... three... four...
you can reduce the time by half.
Do you want to learn?
I can coach you.
In fact, I only picked up a few balls.
You don't have to feel bad.
After so many years, this is my mom's first time not being on court.
You didn't help me. You helped her.
I know how much she wanted to sit down and rest,
but she couldn't.
You shouldn't have made that mistake for the last shot at the competition yesterday!
The problem was your footwork!
Do the skip run and pedal steps at the net for today!
Practice a thousand times!
I know how you feel.
Your mom told us today that
she will come for a few more times.
She will stop coming after that.
Thank you, Brother Sanchuan.
