Aren't you looking for investors?
I will invest.
Aren't you really doing this because you divorced Jiang Jie
and feel like you need to re-establish the club that he has shut down?
Do you think my paradigm is that small?
I always thought you had problems with me.
I did, for a long period of time.
You and Jiang Jie have a tacit understanding at work
for fighting to accomplish tasks.
We couldn't achieve this at home.
It's okay. It's not important anymore. In fact, things change with the passage of time.
My reason for investing in the club is definitely because of Jiaojiao
but the other reason is because of you.
You used 6 months to prove that you've done well in managing the club. You can be a good manager.
I regard this project as having great potential. That's why I decided to invest.
I want to see if I can follow my heart to do what I like and enjoy the second half of my life.
This depends on whether you are willing to slave for me.
I will work very hard till death.
It's a bit troublesome entering this venue. We need to register
but I still want you to take a look. It's great value for the money.
Didn't you say the main coach will come today? Where is he?
He texted me that he has arrived. Let's go.
- Brother Su, we're here. - Hi.
Go in and take a look.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Everyone still thinks only professional players can use this place.
In fact, it's open to the public. It can be outsourced.
I think this venue is a hidden treasure.
Let's go. I'll take you to check the outdoor courts.
There are 4 outdoor courts, and 2 indoor courts downstairs.
Across the street is the swimming pool.
And... the base for Xinyi Badminton Sports Club is over there.
The ambiance for sports is not bad.
The pros and cons are very obvious.
The location is nice and the rent is very reasonable.
But we need to develop the commercial members in the future.
Don't you think there are insufficient courts?
Meeting the daily training requirement is sufficient for me.
You can consider yours.
Take another look. I will verify the training venue again.
No need to wait for me.
What do you think? We've checked several good venues for the past few days.
I think this is the most value for the money.
Don't I know you?
There's no benefit for getting up early. Don't expect rewards if you don't deserve them.
Speak. What do you want?
Why pretend that you don't understand?
I just want a job from you. Yes or no?
Did you really think carefully or is it just a momentary irrational thought?
My club doesn't accept employees who fool around at work.
I thought it through carefully. That's why I dared to be here.
I want to be serious for once and show everyone.
I heard that Jiang Jiaojiao helped to solve your problem.
Hence, other than a favor, I owe him money too.
I need a stable job.
If I say no, it will seem like I'm scared of you.
Come work with me to prepare for the opening of the business.
Okay.
What about the venue? Should I sign the contract as soon as possible?
We'll talk about this later. Let me reconsider.
Didn't I tell you to wait in the car? Why are you here?
It's just a short distance. I didn't want to trouble you.
You're drenched from head to toes.
- The heavy rain was so sudden. - Slow down.
Let's go!
Your clothes are wet. You will catch a cold.
Why don't you change your clothes?
I'll place them on the heater to dry them.
Change my clothes?
I will give you my clothes.
Okay, I'll change.
Let's go.
No. There's a leak in my house, too.
Go up first. I will hold the umbrella.
- It's fine. - It's not.
- It's really fine. I'm already drenched. - Wait for me.
Drink some hot water.
It's late at night. Why are you so anxious?
I wanted to talk to you.
Liang Tao has been helping me to check out venues.
I think three venues are not bad and I wanted to discuss them with you.
The first venue is at a park. The ambiance is great.
There used to be a tennis club there.
It's a popular site but the rent is a bit high.
But with regards to the peak timing for the club, traffic jams will be a huge issue.
The ambiance is nice.
It's not bad.
The second venue is near a commercial area.
There are big companies and good hospitals.
I think it's great for us to expand our members from organizations.
That's good, too.
But within 3 km, there are many tennis clubs.
There will be a lot of competition.
As for the third venue,
there are a lot of sports clubs surrounding it
and many white-collar workers.
In the future, I think there'll be development of many youth centers. The rent is very reasonable.
Based on what you said, you already know what you want.
Are there any disadvantages for the third venue?
Look at where it's located.
[9 Ansan Road, Nangang District]
Isn't this across from where we play badminton?
I was afraid you would feel uncomfortable and would mind.
If it affects you psychologically, your results won't be good.
What if I say that...
I mind?
Would you give up the best choice?
Honestly speaking,
among these three venues, I have confidence that this will add value,
but the decision doesn't rely on me alone.
Song Sanchuan, don't laugh.
I'm not joking with you.
I am serious.
I want to hear your honest answer.
Do you still have a sore point?
I don't know.
But recently, I've been making progress in tennis and my results are getting better.
Honestly speaking, I don't really care about badminton or the venue.
It's just that...
because you are thinking on my behalf,
it's better than warding off evil spirits.
How could a kid be so superstitious? What warding off evil spirits?
This rain... The road is fully blocked. Seriously.
Uncle An.
The diverting of public transport is great.
Three hours and I'm back.
Did I interrupt anything between you both?
No. We weren't doing anything.
Yes, there was. I was talking official matters with him.
We are done. Uncle An, have a seat.
That...
You, too. Seriously.
You could've told me. I would've stayed out somewhere.
Stop saying nonsense. We were talking about official matters.
I'm referring to the aftermath. Did I hold up anything?
- No. What... - Look at her clothes.
She changed her clothes because she was drenched. That's why I was anxious to explain.
No, I...
I will tell you next time before I come home.
Stop thinking. Can you be normal? You are making her feel awkward!
How about this? I'll leave. Okay?
Lower your voice.
She's coming!
Uncle An, I'm leaving.
- Sure. Take care. - Think about it.
Okay.
- Your bag. - That's right. Don't forget your bag.
I folded your clothes and left them there. Sorry to disturb you.
- Why don't I send you back? - No need.
- The rain has stopped. Why are you still holding an umbrella? - Stop talking!
This mouth of mine...
[Linglong Residences]
Delivery.
Wait for a moment.
I will leave it at your door.
Okay, thanks.
[Pharmacy Receipt : Cold Medicine]
Let's choose the 3rd venue. I insist on returning there!
By the way, remember to take the medicine.
You are a pervert!
I've transferred the money to Sister KK today. It's considered over.
So, I want to treat you to a high-class meal as my gratitude.
I'm not that picky.
We can just go out for two bowls of noodles.
No need to choose such an expensive place.
It's because there's a hotel above.
What does that mean?
I can't return your money immediately.
Thus, to express my gratitude to you...
Liang Tao, what do you take me for?!
I really wanted to help you!
It's not a lot of money. I just want to do a good deed!
You owe me a favor but you don't need to use this kind of method to pay me back!
Do you understand? What kind of person are you?!
Jiang Jiaojiao! Are you crazy? What do you mean by this?! What kind of person are you? What kind of person am I?
I remember you said that you like this hotel for vacations.
I saved for a long time to book a room with an ocean view for you.
You think I wanted to...
Clueless. Too clueless.
Sorry. I'm wrong.
But you don't need to use the money I lent you to book a room with an ocean view
to thank me.
Are you stupid?
I'm not someone who cares about money.
I don't know if you care or not.
But this is what I saved for a while, and my sincerity.
You better cancel the room. Don't save money on food and live frugally.
Fine. If you don't want this card, take this then.
Why so many cards?
I found a new job.
I will transfer the money that I owe you to this card every month. Spend as you like.
Why does it sound weird, too?
It's like I'm being supported and held captive.
Okay. You don't have much money, too. It's expensive here.
Let's go out to get some noodles.
Hello.
Your meal is here. Please enjoy.
Thanks.
You ordered two bowls of noodles here? The reservation fee for this room is more expensive.
It's better to save while I can. Anyway, I already paid for the room with an ocean view.
That's right. Talking about this, let me make it clear.
In the future, no matter what your motive is,
don't just casually give a room card to men.
Understood. Let's eat now.
TopSmash Tennis Club is officially open today!
[Starting Business of TopSmash Tennis Club]
So, your new job is here at our club?
That's right. I'll be in-charge of the publicity for the club and players.
Amazing. That's Director of Publicity.
I calculated. In the future, my salary and annual bonus will be yours.
If I work on weekends, I will clear my debt in three years.
Of course, if you need it urgently, I can also find a way to pay you back earlier.
It's not urgent. I'm not short of money.
Here, candies for the starting of business. I just got these from the reception.
Eat these and get good luck.
What did you say?
Candies for starting business. Eat these and they'll bring you good luck.
TopSmash Tennis Club officially starts its business in Shenzhen today.
They also announced a new business model and a scholarship program for students.
The club will sign the top 10 players and pay for their training fees, fees for the coaches,
and the tournament fees.
In the future, some bonuses and other income won by our players during the competition
will also be shared with the club.
Will this kind of business model where they invest heavily in their signed players
become a new way to develop good players?
Let's interview the manager of the club, Liang You'an.
The purpose of this scholarship program for students is to choose the best from the best.
We hope to motivate players and at the same time, lower the threshold to play tennis.
I can guarantee everyone that, from our investors to our management and players,
everyone's objective is very sincere.
No matter how small our achievements are, we still want to contribute to tennis in China.
If this model is successful,
I believe that more people will choose to play tennis in the future.
[First Place: Jiang Jiaojiao. Second place: Guo Zhendong. Third place: Dai Yi. Fourth place: Song Sanchuan]
Among these ten funded players, the men's team
was from Young Space Tennis Club.
As for the women's team, we picked the top players from the current club members.
I'm retaining you because I want to tell you that your contracts will be renewed annually based on your results.
If your results drop or someone challenges you and plays better than you, you'll be eliminated.
When that time comes, you'll have two options. One, stay at TopSmash and pay the training fee,
or two, find another club that you think fits you better.
This is too ruthless.
Our signatures aren't even dry yet and you're scaring us.
What I fear most, is pressure.
I've something else to announce to everyone. It's considered welfare.
We've discussed this with the coaches and decided to arrange a dormitory for the players.
I hope everyone can help each other and live harmoniously.
Here.
Sister Ke, if it's convenient, can we have a private talk?
- Room 207. - We're in the same room.
Let's go out?
Aren't there any single rooms?
Hold on.
Congratulations, I'm also in Room 207. The three of us are together.
This is too much. Three people in a room?!
Why am I in Room 206?
You're next door. Drop in tonight.
- I'll be there! - Of course.
- Where will you be? - Room 206.
We're the same room? Awesome.
Lately, many media are doubtful about whether our scholarship program for students will work.
I was afraid you'd worry. Hence, I wanted to chat with you
and let you know about my future plans.
Actually, I know this kind of method of betting on players is very risky
but I think you can have a free hand and just do it.
Honestly speaking, I only have 50% certainty
because it's not an investment project that makes quick bucks.
I need lots of time to groom the players and raise our reputation.
My plan is to control our investment cost for the first year
and use the revenue from commercial members to gain more benefits. Simply put, it's to use the revenue to support our players.
Once one of our professional players establishes a name,
and the club starts to make profits,
it will mean that our plan worked. I believe it'll attract more investors.
I understand. You are saying that we should amaze everyone with a single brilliant feat
or not do anything at all.
Let me tell you, Liang You'an. This is the first decision I personally made after my divorce,
and you are giving me a plan that's making me anxious.
Do your best.
The price of freedom that I'm giving you, I won't accept zero returns.
What's this smell?
I just want to ask.
Is there a bathroom?
Is there a living room?
It's not that extreme. There is a bathroom, no living room but there is a balcony.
Open your eyes. You won't die.
This doesn't feel so bad.
That's right. I have the right to speak for this.
It's considered a nice place for a professional team. There's even a ceiling.
There's even a welcome gift.
Apparently, we underestimated Liang You'an.
Looks like she has a good conscience.
I'm not going to be courteous. I'll take this bed.
It's next to the window.
I'm betting that she cried while forking out the money.
That's really exaggerating. You make her sound so stingy.
Hey, Chen Zhe. Does this resemble me?
Yours looks too smart. This looks more like you.
It doesn't look like me.
This tastes good.
[Workspace] [TopSmash Tennis Club]
You saw the conditions of the dormitory, right?
We should thank Manager Liang for this.
We just established the club.
Money is very tight and there are expenses to be paid.
But what Manager Liang provided for us, they're already within her ability, and the best.
There's something I hope you are clear about.
The dormitory isn't a benefit from the club.
It's an honor that you won for yourselves.
Only the top 10 team members are qualified to live there.
So, I hope that you cherish this honor.
The office is open 24 hours a day for you. If you need to check any information, feel free to come in and check.
If you are hungry or thirsty, just help yourselves to these.
The coaching team will also arrange for someone to be on duty
to solve your problems at any time.
Anyway, from today, this is your second home.
Okay!
Don't be hypocrites.
Okay, I won't detain you. I already said this is your second home.
Do whatever you want.
Let's go.
- What do you want to eat? - Get an apple.
Liang You'an, come out and eat.
Eat slowly.
The club's current operating model...
I know you are thinking about this.
I know you are under pressure now
but I want to say, Manager Liang,
you've already exceeded your working hours for today.
Do you know why I called you out to eat?
I want you to come out and relax.
Take a breather and get rid of those anxieties. Okay?
I am definitely very anxious.
I'm afraid my ideas can't become reality.
I'm also afraid that my boss will incur financial losses.
I've been pretending that I have confidence.
I left Y-Space Sports and Young Space Tennis Club.
Today, this is the first time I'm fully conscious that I need to make decisions on my own.
I must be responsible for my project.
I don't know if I can do it.
I think you don't need to think now about whether you can do it or not.
I think you should believe that we can do it.
The players can do it.
Your players' contract system, your scholarship program for students,
are very unique and great ideas.
Next, it's our turn as players to achieve results. Isn't that so?
Believe in me. I will turn your boasts today into reality.
That confident?
Because our Manager Liang said I'm a very talented player and I know my abilities very well.
Most importantly, I want everyone to know that you are right.
Whether it's you convincing me to join the team
or your current ideas,
I think these are very significant decisions.
What you must do now, is to believe in me and believe in your vision.
So, what are you worried about? Let it to me to fly.
Too likable.
What? What did you say?
I said, today is a good day.
Song Sanchuan, I'll remember what you just said. Do a good job.
I'm full.
Suddenly messaging me and telling me to come here.
What is it?
Aren't we close to each other now?
I want to congratulate you in person
and also ask about some movements
to help with my training.
Okay. Go ahead and ask.
It's still about the net shot.
I don't think I've gotten it right.
Brother Chuan, teach me your secret.
It's not that I don't want to.
You know that I switched to tennis from badminton.
The rackets and movements are totally different.
You want me to teach you. Aren't you afraid of taking a wrong step?
How is that possible? How can the best moves be forgotten?
Brother Chuan, I'll show you my moves. Check if there are any problems with my paces and steps.
Sure. I'll throw the shuttlecocks to you.
Backhand.
I don't think the problem is with your paces or steps. It's your wrist.
Wrist?
Did you bring an extra racket?
Yes. I brought it for you.
Look.
For backhand shots, the wrist joint is facing downwards. Try not to move the forearm.
They rely mainly on the wrist and fingers.
[TopSmash Tennis Club]
- Can this work? Let's try it later. - We'll play a set, okay?
You are very early.
You, too.
Wow.
Isn't this a scary unfamiliar shot?
Brother, how did you do that?
I... I merely used some strength with my wrist. I've no idea, either.
Maybe it's because I played badminton last night. When you called out to me, I did it unconsciously.
It's impossible to return the shot. Who can receive this?
Once more time. Again.
It's not that.
I thought you had a winning shot. I didn't expect it to be a fluke shot.
Fine. Let me do it.
No. Brother Chuan said he twisted his wrist slightly.
Forget it. You do it. I'll do the warmups.
Watch out for the balls on the ground.
What new ball trajectory is this brat experimenting with?
Coach Yan, I did the plan for the players' upcoming matches.
Can you listen to it now?
Coach Yan? Did you hear what I said?
I did.
The tennis matches are supposed to take place all over the country.
This is also the biggest expense for our scholarship students.
I've been screening the matches every day.
Based on their techniques, unique points
and records of matches with their opponents,
as well as the climate and region, I noticed that some players prefer to play in the north.
Others win more in the south.
So, I screened three matches for each player.
I know it's not that many
but currently, we need to choose matches that give the highest effects and results.
Take a look and check if this is okay.
You did this alone for all ten players?
Ming Yu helped me to check the flights, hotels, and locked in the prices for group discounts.
Fine, I'll follow your plan.
Thank you, Coach Yan.
Wow!
- Nice shot - He did it again!
What kind of shot is this?
Nice shot!
Coach Yan, did you teach a new technique? I've never seen it before.
Coach Yan, looking for me?
Come in.
Have a seat.
Here.
This is the schedule of matches arranged by Liang You'an based on the individual player's unique points.
I reviewed it. It's good for accumulating points.
Let me ask you this.
The shot that you just did.
That shot... how long did you train for that?
Not that long. It was a fluke for my first shot.
I've been replaying that essential move for the past few days.
I think it's my advantage of using the wrist in badminton.
Do you plan to use it as your winning shot?
Will it work?
I think it is rather difficult.
Even if you've the kinetic chain ability and advantage for the wrist, these kinds of shots are just fluke shots.
You can apply the shot once but it doesn't mean you can always do it. Isn't that so?
You also know very well that the crucial point is the success rate for the matches.
Can you guarantee that you can use this at a crucial moment during a match?
If I keep practicing, it'll increase my chances of winning.
To be honest, now is not the time to experiment with a winning shot.
No need to be too aggressive.
If you injure your wrist, the gain won't make up for the loss.

[TopSmash Tennis Club]
[Hangzhou, Shanghai, Nanjing]
My high effective match plan is not bad, right?
Their professional scores have increased rapidly.
Liang You'an,
you said that their results have increased rapidly.
Is this my credit or yours?
Of course, you have more credits for this.
Don't. I won't take the credits if they are not mine.
I know you've worked hard lately.
This method of analyzing the players and the matches
is quite popular in international matches.
Did you borrow the tips from them?
Your early wins work for the initial matches
but did you think about this problem?
The higher their scores, they'll meet stronger opponents.
With their actual capabilities,
can they keep winning according to your plan?
Besides, this method won't toughen their mental state.
If they improve their scores with this kind of false ascent,
it's very likely that they'll lose a realistic judgment of themselves.
In my view, it's not good for them.
You sound too serious.
Competition is the combination of skill and luck. Right?
Don't score counts increase the probability of luck?
You don't need to be reluctant to admit mistakes on behalf of your best friend.
Whatever I say, does it make sense?
Would she listen to my advice?
What do you mean by reluctant to admit mistakes?
I think you're not good at talking.
Improvement in results is a good thing.
Look at how poor the club is and its difficulties.
We also need to quickly raise the recognition of the players.
May I ask if you have a better method?
No. I'm not saying that she–
Can you show some respect for what she has done?
It's late. I'm getting hungry.
I'm starving.
- Seems like I'm not that hungry. - What's wrong?
Did we come at the wrong time?
It's fine. Coach Yan and I were discussing the plan for your upcoming matches.
Aren't we doing well at the matches?
- We've been winning recently. - That's right.
- Why are you loitering around instead of sleeping? - We are hungry.
Didn't you say you have food and drinks here? We're here for these.
What's there to eat? There are only instant noodles here.
Instant noodles are great. Let's...
Well... Ms. Luo...
can we eat?
Cook them. I'm hungry, too.
Great! Instant noodles! Let's start.
I'll make desserts for everyone.
[TopSmash Tennis Club]
Ladies and gentlemen, the noodles are ready!
Don't be shy.
What's the rush?
Ms. Luo, these noodles are due to your credit.
If you didn't agree, we won't be able to eat this.
We need to fill up a bowl for you.
Were you having an issue with Coach Yan just now?
No.
Do you want some soup?
No need.
It's hot. Be careful.
Thank you.
Okay, go back.
Delicious.
The dessert looks good.
- Have this first. - Not bad. Smells good.
I don't eat instant noodles.
I was impulsive just now. You were thinking on behalf of everyone.
I'm apologizing to you.
It's a trivial matter.
No woman has ever apologized to me.
That's because you haven't met a good woman.
Where's my cup of dessert?
I almost missed you. This is for you.
Looks passable. Smells great.
- Really? - Yes. Try it.
Here's yours.
Take mine first.
How is it, Ms. Luo? Tastes good, right?
- Friends for life. - Let's go together.
Instant noodles and dessert,
- we'll always have them. - High five!
Many people were after the noodles. Did you have enough to eat?
I'm full. It was really good.
Youngsters indeed don't add eggs to their instant noodles.
When you cook instant noodles and add eggs, veggies, and luncheon meat,
that's when you're getting old.
I've been busy with the matches and training.
You've been busy with the club's matters.
I feel that since the establishment of TopSmash,
we haven't had the chance to see each other.
It's fine. Whenever there is a plain noodles party, I'll join the youngsters.
Sure, I'll prepare more noodles and cook for you whenever you want to eat.
By the way, you played well in the recent matches.
The winning shot is working?
No. Coach doesn't want me to practice that move.
No matter what, it can wait till I've built a good foundation in my techniques.
Do your best!
Well... we're playing a match in Nanjing tomorrow.
I know. I made reservations for the hotel and flight.
There will be many strong opponents in this match.
Don't take this too lightly.
If I lose in the first round, I'll return in two days.
If I win,
no matter what, we won't see each other for five days.
I hope it's five days.
No need to save money on the hotel.
Liang You'an, let me borrow your cellphone for a moment.
When I won the match yesterday, the organizing committee gave me a gift.
This was in it.
I'm giving it back to you.
I said I would fly.
Just wait for me to bring back all the trophies.
Sure. I'll wait for you to fly together!
