Manager Liang!
- Manager Liang! - Good morning, Manager Lu.
Good morning.
When you last competed with us in Shanghai,
I wasn't leading the team and didn't meet you.
I finally meet you now.
When I emailed you that the journey would be tough
and that you'll need to pay for your expenses and staff, I was sure you wouldn't be willing to come.
I really didn't expect... thank you.
We must show respect to Coach Yan.
After all, he used to be our senior at D3.
Even though there was some conflict with the club,
the team members still wanted to attend his substitute training classes.
Also, I want to see how much progress you guys have made with his coaching and exchange techniques.
Okay, don't let your team go easy on us.
After all, we might meet again in the tournament.
I really can't control this. This is how competitive sports are.
If your opponent is strong, you certainly wouldn't be scared.
But if your opponent is weak, it won't be a good match. We won't be scared either.
But if your team is still the same as before, I can't ensure what kind of level my team will play with.
You even have a team uniform?
That's great! I didn't think of that.
Manager Liang, a team uniform is team spirit.
Do you know what experience I've gained after managing the club for many years?
A club can buy anything,
except for team spirit. It's priceless. Seriously.
Do you know what the scenario was like when I first managed D3?
This group of people slackened, was disorganized and a total mess.
I was determined to let my team members have a sense of belonging.
As expected, once my team uniform's design came out, my team's appearance and spirit completely changed.
Just like they grew roots.
That's to say, details determine success or failure.
This statement is never given in vain, just like the name of our team.
Right, look at our logo!
Our logo has a meaningful story.
Try to guess.
I will make a guess.
One D.
One 3. D3.
What D3 and 3D? It's too shallow.
Let me tell you this. First place, it's too crazy.
Second, it's too dispiriting.
Third, it's just right. (A pun as D3 sounds similar to third place)
Rest for five minutes.
- Let's go! - Let's go!
You've worked hard.
Liang You'an,
my neck hurts from the sunburn. Did you bring any sunscreen?
I didn't. I'll get it from my room.
Wait! Don't bother. I brought it.
Right? Here you go.
- All right, thank you, Manager Lu. - No need to thank me. Here.
Thank you.
Right, I forgot. You can't put it on yourself.
You still need to play later. If your hand is slippery, you can't grip your racket.
I'll apply it on you.
I'll do it myself.
I apply it for my team members every day. Don't worry.
- There's too much! - Slow down!
Spread it evenly.
- You got it on my hair! - I didn't.
- Trust me. - I didn't even get burned there!
It's all right.
You got it on my hair.
- How is it? - It's enough!
- Are you good? - Thanks.
No need to thank me!
Go back to your training.
The speed for the rope ladder just now...
Gather around!
Before we begin our training, listen to my wordy speech again.
These people from D3 heard this, too.
Tennis is generally known as physical Chinese chess.
Why do we say this?
If you take a stopwatch and calculate the movements of a ball within an hour during a match,
the ball actually only moves around 13 minutes.
The rest of the time is used for thinking.
Our training time is limited now. I hope everyone focuses on the main point.
I want you to get used to using your brains to play tennis.
What does it mean to play with your brains?
When you stand on the court, which point the racket makes contact,
how the opponent returns the ball, what the ball's trajectory is,
how you deal with it,
it's just like how you deduce three moves when you play Chinese chess.
Ultimately, playing tennis is just like the opening in playing chess.
So, Song Sanchuan,
you previously broke my serve. Hence, you have the experience.
Coach Yan, stop mocking me. I already admitted it last time.
When I played with you, I only studied the first three shots.
But there's one thing you did right.
You planned the ball's trajectory.
Hence, I hope you'll engrave these four words in your head.
Always remember to "plan the ball's trajectory."
And then, improve your techniques to complete your plan.
Not many people can do it but as long as you can do it,
you'll naturally be the most outstanding in this sport.
So be more confident. Your logic is correct.
I felt that a tennis ball's speed was slower than a badminton shuttlecock.
Thus, I felt that I had more time to think when I was playing.
I forgot to introduce him.
This is Song Sanchuan who switched to tennis from badminton.
The trajectory for both sports are different.
Feel free to give him a hard time.
Okay, the training for this afternoon ends here.
Don't follow us.
Let me tell you something.
What?
What is it?
Why must you put your arms around me and stick to me? Just tell me.
Are you courting Liang You'an?
- Are you? - What did you say?
- Are you courting Liang You'an? - Lower your voice.
Are you?
Yes. What's wrong? I like her.
I have sharp eyes.
Do you know I was rejected when I confessed to her?
Chuan'er, you're brazen. You like someone who's ten years older than you.
That person is Liang You'an. Why are you making it more difficult for yourself?
I kept challenging myself until I failed.
She said that she wants to focus on her career and doesn't want a relationship.
- But I feel that... - What are you guys doing?
Let's go eat.
We're talking about something. Go ahead. Get a drumstick for me.
You're excluding me?
- Get me a drumstick. - We'll be there soon.
So secretive. I'm leaving.
Tell me, quick.
Right now, I just want to focus on the club with her.
As for the rest, I will take it slow.
No wonder you've been training so hard.
Love makes us tireless.
Two Jiao, I'm not hiding this as you are my buddy
but can you keep this a secret?
Who do you think I am? Am I a blabbermouth?
Because of your sincerity, I'll help you to pursue her.
Forget it. For this kind of stuff, I can only rely on myself.
Let's have lunch. You better do well at the afternoon training later.
You're crazy now. Trying to challenge me?
I'll give you a hard time in the afternoon.
- You are ten years younger than me. - I'm 10 going on 20, this is my normal attitude.
Let me say a few words.
In fact, based on Miss Luo's nutrition plan, we shouldn't let everyone drink alcohol tonight.
But Coach Yan and I discussed it.
It's the first night. We want everyone to quickly get close to each other.
So we prepared some light alcohol.
Two people will share one bottle. Don't drink too much.
Liang You'an, you're so petty. How can you limit our intake?
Today...
Manager Liang is right.
Chuan'er, lead by example and don't drink.
Stop it.
Everyone, drink less. We'll be starting training soon.
I want to thank our colleagues from D3, too. Thank you.
- Thanks! - Thank you!
I hope everyone can play their best in the upcoming training
so that we can learn from each other. Have fun. All right, let's dig in.
- Nicely said, Manager Liang! - Thanks, Manager Liang!
Manager Liang, have a kebab.
No need, go ahead. Thanks.
- Come, sister. - Come.
I can see that Manager Lu is keen on you.
Aren't you going to chat with him?
I really thank you for that.
I'm really wary of him.
He loves to talk big.
I know too well how male bosses talk.
If there's only one male boss around, this will be his solo performance today.
He'll be dying to indoctrinate us with everything he's learned.
Like knowledge and morale. He'll spill everything.
If there are two male bosses, they'll fight for dominance.
- What if there are three? - They'll flatter each other.
"You're amazing. No, you are."
- "No, no, you are." - "No, you are."
That's so accurate.
Look at them.
- I didn't. - Let me tell you how.
- Switch legs. - Stand on one leg.
Look up and you won't be able to balance.
Try it.
You can't balance, right?
He is a bit silly.
But he's pretty refreshing in comparison.
This job is great. You should've roped me in earlier.
It's like a homeless person who's suddenly got caught in a high-class buffet.
The door closed. He can't leave if he's not full.
I wonder which flavor suits Miss Luo's palate.
- I can't do it anymore! - Don't move!
Song Sanchuan...
Dating is forbidden in our club.
I'm not done talking. Song Sanchuan is not my type.
Why are you anxious?
- I'm not anxious. - Oh really?
- Don't move! - Let's play pushing.
- Go ahead. - No!
Let's see who can push each other over.
- Down you go! - No!
Here, Manager Liang. Try some of my kebabs.
This is a family recipe. You'll regret it if you don't try it at least once!
You're pretty bad at this.
- How about sitting down?
- You must be Miss Luo, right? - Yes. - I've heard a lot about you.
- Hello. - Try some too.
Manager Liang, we didn't finish our conversation this afternoon.
I feel like we've hit it off from the moment we met.
But I understand your situation. It's tough since you just joined the club.
So I really want to talk to you about how I grew my business.
Life has three ups and downs.
- I... - Liang You'an,
I have something to talk to you about.
No, wait. I...
Miss Luo, you might not have heard me clearly earlier.
- I said that I experienced three major ups and downs in my life... - Hey!
- I must keep watch on the kids. Excuse me. - Okay.
- I was about to say it. How suffocating. - Miss Luo, here.
Thanks for saving me.
Manager Lu is a nice person but he loves to share too much.
He talked about how he built his club for the entire day.
He even wanted to talk about his growing-up history.
This guy talks too much. It's really annoying.
The weather is nice. I haven't felt this way in a long time.
It's nice walking with the sea breeze.
Pressure, worries... these are not worth mentioning.
You just mentioned you have something to talk to me about.
What is it?
Nothing much.
What?
Song Sanchuan, you dragged me out here but you're not going to say anything?
Didn't you say you dislike talkative men?
What other kind of men do you dislike?
Men who are cunning and beat around the bush, you know?
Those who get jealous easily and are narrow-minded.
I can't deal with those.
You...
Are you implying I'm that?
No...
Fine, fine, fine. How about this?
Let me interview you, Manager Liang.
What kind of men can meet your expectations?
- What kind... - Wait, wait.
Please speak into the microphone.
- Testing, testing. Can you hear me? - Yes.
What kind of man?
The type that can stare into a dog's eyes for 10 seconds.
Likes eating fish.
A man who knows how to fix a sewage pipe.
What are you saying?
Are you worthy of my microphone? Can you talk properly?
Everything you said isn't really special traits. Again.
I'm serious about what I said. Think about it.
Being able to stare into a dog's eyes for 10 seconds shows how kind he is.
He's willing to interact with animals.
Likes eating fish. People who like to eat fish are smart, right?
Very detail-oriented. Knowing sewer pipes well shows he's handy. It'll make me feel safe.
Wait, that last one is kind of ridiculous.
- Would anyone know what sewage pipes look like? - Yeah.
You're describing a cockroach.
You don't understand. This is a summarized experience of a senior person.
Fine, the experience of a senior.
Since you're so experienced, why are you still single at 32?
My microphone is expensive. Don't break it.
I'll buy it. How much?
You don't have to. I'll gift it to you.
Why aren't you eating, Chuan'er?
I'm not in a hurry.
Let's go, Chen Zhe.
Let's wait for Sanchuan.
- I... - He eats so slowly like he has no teeth. Why would you wait for him?
Lying in bed in our rooms is better.
All right.
We are off.
- Quick. Stop drinking. - Why are you in such a hurry?
[Song Sanchuan]
Have a drumstick.
Miss Luo specially customized every one of your meals.
Take it back and eat it yourself.
It's fine. I won't die if I don't eat it.
I'll have the fish. I like fish.
Fish have a lot of protein.
How is the training today?
Quite good.
I've never trained near the beach. It feels pretty good.
This training program is a lot shorter than usual.
You need to treasure this opportunity.
Stop paying so much attention to other things.
Think more about your techniques, strategies, and moves.
Do your best, got it?
Song Sanchuan,
I am asking you. Can you do it?
What is wrong?
- I'm choking. - What's choking you?
Fish bone.
How are you feeling?
Feeling sore when swallowing saliva.
The doctor said you might feel some discomfort when swallowing for a few days.
Talking about you,
don't pretend if you don't know how to eat fish.
That is what you said.
What did I say?
You said that you like men who love to eat fish.
Song Sanchuan, I did say that
but I don't like men who choke when eating fish.
Didn't I tell you to let it go for a few days?
Let's go. Focus on the training.
Let's go.
Go and train!
Are you going to hit me?

Look at this brat, Song Sanchuan.
He's shamelessly pulling others to ask questions again.
Song Sanchuan is really good at observing, imitating,
and secretly learning tricks from others. I could tell when he broke my serve.
Our coach is still dwelling on this.
If I don't dwell on this, I won't even mention it.
I'm not a narrow-minded person.
He's good material for tennis.
He's talented, savvy,
smart, and stubborn.
This is the first time you praised Song Sanchuan.
You also think he can do it, right?
You're an amateur. How could you tell?
Because he looks good.
I shouldn't have talked too much with you.
I'm serious.
Don't you think that top players in any sports have one thing in common? That's beauty.
They have smooth movements and well-stretched bodies.
If they can combine power, speed, and appeal,
isn't that a manifestation of talent?
Beauty to sports, is like courage on the battlefield.
You even said there's nothing between you both.
I sent you the photo. Look at that idiotic smitten face of yours.
What's wrong?
The coffee machine is not working?
It's not plugged in.
Hello?
The three of them want to meet?
Book the meeting at 10:30 a.m.
Yes. You know what I mean.
The three directors who used to work for Gao Li want to report their work to me today.
They definitely want to queue up to show their loyalty.
There's going to be a big show today.
I'll tell you about it when I'm back tonight.
[Divorce Agreement]
Hello, Vice President Jie.
Vice President Jie, there's a problem.
In response to this real-name reported email against the company's Vice President Jiang Jie of the Marketing Department,
for taking advantage of his position to misappropriate the interest of the company,
we're conducting the first interview to investigate this matter.
In this email, it provides evidence of the Young Sports Tennis Club
as a non-performing asset that has lost money year after year.
In fact, it's Vice President Jiang Jie who pretends it's for the benefit of the public
and uses the company's funds to establish the venue for his son, Jiang Jiaojiao.
At the same time, you took advantage of corporate matches to accept bribes.
These are the various past financial reports,
and also, some footage of Jiang Jiaojiao making a scene with a certain internet celebrity.
We're presenting this as evidence, too.
We also received supplementary documents this morning that the tennis club
is now staying in a luxury resort for closed-door training.
The expenses need to be verified. We will now check them individually.
After this closed-door training, you will face many real matches soon.
Hence, our coaches had a discussion. It's better to put you through more vigorous training.
Coach, what are you up to?
Beach volleyball?
You talk a lot. Shut up and listen.
For some famous tennis players, the average height of their forehand shot
is about one meter above the net.
The volleyball net happens to be one meter higher than the tennis net.
So, if you can hit the ball over the net, and make it fall in bounds,
your stability should be good enough.
Why soak them in water?
The soaked balls weigh more and have greater resistance.
It will help your strength and stability.
Anyway, it's the last day. I'm not planning on bringing them back.
Manager Liang.
Yes!
You won't be distressed, right?
It's okay! Go ahead. I'll just ask for more money when we get back.
Okay! Let's start!
Coach!
How are we supposed to hit them? It's so hard!
Stop for a moment.
No motivation, right?
Let me mobilize your enthusiasm.
For this training, whoever has any complaints against me,
I'll give you a chance to take revenge.
I'll stand here and won't go anywhere.
If you hit me, consider that you've earned it.
Bring it on!
If there's a grievance, there must be a revenge.
Put down your umbrella, Coach Yan!
Be careful.
Okay, we are starting.
Use more strength!
Come on, Jiang Jiaojiao. I'm waiting for you.
That's not good enough.
You guys suck. I'm feeling sleepy.
No way!
[Chinese Tennis Association]
[Jiang Jiaojiao]
Jiang Jiaojiao! Jiang Jiaojiao!
What?
Listen up! Based on the scores for your matches,
Jiang Jiaojiao is ranked No.95 in the Men's Tennis Top 100!
Wow!
One, two, three!
Great!
Coach Yan! Don't you think I'm awesome? Top 100!
You only made it to the Top 100. What's to be proud of? Get down here and continue training.
Training?
Let's throw him into the ocean!
Let's go!
One, two, three!
All right, everyone! Look here! Look here!
I'm happy to announce that our 7-day training ends today!
Thank you! Thank you, everyone, for putting in your best effort!
And thanks to the coaching team for escorting and protecting us!
I hope we can successfully get an A in the upcoming tennis tournament!
I booked a private room in a restaurant for tonight. I'll treat you all to dinner!
Miss Luo said that you won't need to control your diet today. Eat as much as you like!
Wait. Submit your personal training report to me before going to dinner.
Whoever doesn't submit will have to stand and watch others eat!
No need to wait for me. You may go.
All right, Boss.
Place a spicy pot for this table and clear soup for the other table.
Stop.
Coach, these kids have been eating oil-free and salt-free food for a week.
They are counting on this meal today to satisfy their cravings.
Coach Yan.
Sorry, we want one spicy pot and one extra spicy pot. Thanks.
I was afraid that Miss Luo might not agree.
Don't make use of me.
We already said they can eat whatever they want.
- Really? - Of course.
Then we want large intestines, pig's brains, and...
- and over here, a crispy pork. - Am I not here?
- Two servings of small crispy pork. - Take a look. You know what I will eat.
- Get me a carton of alcohol. - No, make it two cartons.
Other than the coaching team, you guys are not allowed to drink alcohol.
Excuse me.
Sorry, everyone. Here I go, being talkative again.
I still can't resist saying a few words to everyone.
First, Jiang Jiaojiao successfully made it to the Top 100 ranking.
Jiang Jiaojiao, you're superb!
This means that Young Space Tennis Club is only a distance away from
being selected as a Grade A tennis club.
The last criterion is reaching the top ten of the national tournament.
So the success of this intensive training is just the beginning.
When we go back, the coaching team will summarize everyone's individual improvement and shortcomings in techniques.
I hope you can play your best in the tournament
and take down the opponents of the respective ranks.
I think we will achieve Grade A.
Young Space! Young Space!
I don't think I should always be talking.
Coach Yan, why don't you say something, too?
- Coach Yan. - Coach Yan, say something,
- Coach Yan. - You are letting me talk?
Don't regret.
I will be direct.
You are aware that I fell out with D3 before I came here.
At that time, I had a stack of invitations from clubs that wanted me to join them.
I stacked them on my desk and ranked them according to strength from highest to lowest.
My real thought at the time was to let it go after a setback
and just consider it as a self-imposed exile.
So I just took one invitation from the bottom.
- Sorry, it was yours. - He's so mean.
- Coach Yan, you're being too blunt here. - That's right.
Shut up.
A few months have passed.
I didn't expect it to...
to be like this.
There were people I found most unreliable at first, Liang You'an and Song Sanchuan.
I watched one coming in the earliest
and the other leaving the latest every day,
leading everyone in the club to do a great job.
I've seen and also led many tennis clubs.
You guys are quite different from the clubs I've seen.
You guys have a real energy
and want to win.
This is the most essential thing in sports.
It's rare to see this in a commercial club...
where it's all about money.
Here's to us...
winning every match in the future.
Coach Yan,
if you picked the first one on the table, it's meaningless to win.
You are awesome. You had the courage to pick yourself up after a setback.
Let's work hard
to bring Coach Yan's life back.
Here, let's all toast to Coach Yan!
Do you remember that time at the barbecue,
when I was drunk,
and what I said?
Of course, certain words were said from drunken courage,
and part of it was empty talk.
But you guys really made it today.
You won the admission ticket for the tournament.
I don't want to be the club's manager today.
I just want to be Liang You'an.
I think I need to stand up.
I want to say thank you.
I really thank you guys so much.
Thank you for making my empty talk to becoming true.
Success depends on you guys!
Play well, okay?
I'll use water instead of alcohol. Okay?
Here, enough talk. Finish the drink.
- Of course. - It's Young Sport's era.
[Emergency! Call me!]
- Hello. - Hey, Sister You'an.
Mr. Jiang is being investigated because of the club.
Why don't you make a trip back?
Okay. I got it.
Can you slow down?
You guys eat first.
Something happened at Y-Space Sports and I have to go back.
How are you going back?
Coach Yan drove yesterday.
Can I borrow your car?
- Are you all right by yourself? Why don't I go with you? - It's all right.
The bus is booked for tomorrow. You don't have to rush.
Just take your time and go back after eating.
It's too dangerous for you to be alone on the highway. It's better to find a man to accompany you.
I'll go with you.
All right. Thank you.
Sorry to trouble you.
Everyone, continue eating.
Here, let's toast to Coach Yan.
Coach Yan, we won't say more.
Coach Yan, thank you. Our gratitude is expressed in this toast.
Everyone, do your best.
You created a good excuse.
- You know it, too? - I'm not blind.
Song Sanchuan was watching Liang You'an so closely.
I thought I was the only one who knew about this.
Let me connect to the Wi-Fi.
Do you want to take a nap? There's three more hours to go.
I am not tired.
Ming Yu sent me a copy of the information just now.
- Is it serious? - Let me look.
It's more serious than I'd expected.
He's not going to shut down the club, right?
Didn't I send you a message on WeChat?
I asked you not to wait for me.
Did you get my message?
It's better to wait for you regarding this.
