- Come, come! - Over here!
- Hurry up! - How many times has this been? Why are you so absent-minded?
Go ahead and play. I need to rest for a while.
Brother Dong, come fill in the spot.
When will you be done? We are still at that place playing frisbee.
Happy birthday.
Don't you feel hot in this outfit?
Not as hot as you are. I can see you fully drenched in sweat.
Seems like you are having fun.
Is it that fun?
It is.
I'll teach you later. Let's play together.
Manager Liang is here. Do you want to compete one-on-one?
I'm not playing. It's a sport for youngsters. I'll cut the cake for everyone.
Manager Liang, you can't afford to lose?
Have you always been so aggressive?
I don't need to fight for food or shelter anymore.
If I'm not aggressive for someone I like, I will deteriorate.
Okay.
Let's play a game. But for people like you who can run around,
it's not suitable for me. My physical strength is not that good.
Let's play something else.
Okay.
Let's compete in frisbee golf.
The distance is 20 meters. Each person gets three frisbees.
Whoever throws in first, will win.
I'll go first.
Just a little short. Almost got it.
She probably doesn't stand a chance.
Wow! Yay!
She is good. Can Manager Liang do it?
Who knows? We have never seen her exercise.
Wow!
The first throw!
Sorry.
This is considered my strength.
When I was abroad, I would play this when I had nothing to do.
But this is the only exercise I know.
Take your time to play. I'm leaving.
I'm leaving. Enjoy yourselves. No need to think about other things.
I'm going back to the club to take care of some business.
- I'll go with you. - No need.
It's your birthday. Enjoy it.
Remember to eat the cake.
Bye, Manager Liang.
Song Sanchuan, I've a gift for you. I hope you like it.
This is a credit card for lessons.
You should give each of us one.
I know the club has an elimination system.
You are under pressure and keep doing additional training.
You can use this card to hire personal trainers,
and also, adjust the lesson hours to reduce your stress.
This is really nothing to me.
You don't need to be burdened. I merely hope your score will be better and better.
Everyone was around just now. I didn't want to embarrass you.
Return this card tomorrow and get a refund.
You don't understand me. Whether it's training or matches,
it's something I'm fully immersed in. There's not much pressure.
So, I don't need this card.
I won't accept your kind intention, either.
Do you know that I like you?
I just found out.
Sorry, I have someone I like.
Moreover, I'm not interested in you.
Make appointments for someone else's lessons in the future.
[TopSmash Tennis Club]
She even gave a card as a gift. So generous.
Take it as helping him with his training. Anyway, I won't suffer any losses.
Youngsters are different.
So brave and aggressive.
There seems to be a problem with the arrangement for these matches.
Wu Zhiguang from Hangzhou has a good backhand.
But he isn't unbeatable. We can do it.
These two are done with the games.
Didn't they play with second-seed players?
Pretty good capability.
It'll be good if he can join our club.
Why are you back? It's your birthday.
You are the main lead... how can you run away?
No. I gave them money to eat.
Besides,
you bought the cake for me. I didn't want to share it.
Hurry. I want to blow out the candles before midnight.
Another year older.
I don't like to celebrate birthdays.
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
By the way, when Huang Yike looks for you tomorrow to refund her card, you must refund it.
Don't be greedy over small gains.
You didn't accept her card?
I don't need anyone to use this kind of method to make it easier for me.
Sister Luo told me that you came back to work overtime.
I thought you were angry because of me, and rushed back here.
In the end, I saw someone alone in a dark office
wracking her brain to plan a battle formation,
so that I can go out to play against three opponents.
Is there any gift better than this in this world?
Your choice of candles is great.
We can both use them.
I like everything about you.
As for the time difference,
it's fine whether it's 9 or 10 steps.
It seems like...
I got a good deal and won a bonus for life.
In fact, I seriously thought about our difference in age.
Think about it. You are in your 20s and I'm in my 30s.
You like that I've run out and arrived 10 steps ahead in advance.
These steps are mature, rational, and planned.
Because you are at the age of assimilating this world.
But think about it.
When you are 30 and I'm 40,
and you are 40 and I am 50,
you probably wouldn't want someone to lead you.
You will want to be admired and looked up to.
Why must it be this way?
The best love,
shouldn't it be equal?
I'm working hard every day.
Like now,
to level up with you.
One day, when you want to throw yourself out there,
I will definitely catch you.
Why did you bring it back?
I bought it. It's the one you scored in one strike.
It's an auspicious sign.
Song Sanchuan,
I want to tell you...
Answer it.
Hello, Alex.
Dear, the insider news is that,
Y-Space Sports will get the sponsorship naming rights for the largest tournament in Shenzhen.
They will get a sponsor's wildcard.
It's up to you if you can obtain it.
Okay, I got it.
Thanks.
Okay, bye.
Liang You'an,
we are 9 years apart now.
Can there be one less trophy?
Song Sanchuan,
let's compete in a match that can give us the ninth trophy. Okay?
[23]
Isn't this just great?
Since we're chatting about the sponsor's wildcard,
let's just settle it today.
Who will use this wildcard?
Speaking of this wildcard, I should reward the kids in our marketing department.
They worked late for ten nights. Their eyes look like pandas now.
We finally got the naming rights.
Otherwise, how could Y-Space Sports have gotten this wildcard?
Vice President Jiang, it has been many years. You should look at the bigger picture.
This isn't about taking credits and giving out rewards.
It's about how to use this wildcard to bring the best benefits to Y-Space Sports.
I've already thought of this.
That Zheng Luoyi,
didn't he take time off last year due to injury?
His scores are good enough to enter the tournament
but his capability is indisputable.
Let's give him the wildcard.
This is known as sending charcoal on a snowy day.
If his performance is good enough, he can get tennis endorsements.
Why don't you give it to me, then?
Brother,
I've been trying to get this distributor in Beijing.
He happens to like tennis and his son is a professional player.
I have a real business need for it.
Gao Li, I heard that your negotiation with the distributor is about to conclude.
Besides, you have superb skills.
Do you need a wildcard to improve the relationship?
It's still better than getting an endorsement.
All right. You can both stop.
I've heard what you said.
This wildcard is not a key issue.
Compared to having the card in our possession,
more importantly, it shouldn't fall into the hands of the rivals.
Is this what you meant?
No, I didn't mean that.
Think about fishing in a pond.
You throw stones at each other. In the end, no one will catch the fish.
Y-Space Sports will ultimately suffer.
How about this?
I'll think of a solution for you both.
I think this will be a fair method.
Starting now,
whoever catches the fish first, will get to use the wildcard.
This is a good method.
Okay, it's fair and just.
Good.
[TopSmash Tennis Club]
Liang You'an, I heard you want Chuan'er to enter the wildcard competition.
That's right. How did you know?
It's a good thing for us, too.
I'll help you.
Sister Wang!
Sister Wang?
Where is she?
Why are you back?
Why are you lying there during the day?
Where is Sister Wang?
Sister Wang has left.
You got rid of Sister Wang, too?
No.
Your mom left, and you rarely come back.
It's not convenient for me and Sister Wang to be here.
I...
I went fishing with the boss when I came back. I was in the sun the whole day.
I don't feel well.
Dad, there are simply four words to describe you now.
Making people feel overjoyed?
A single and lonely guy.
Jiang Jiaojiao, let's have a bet.
Once I post a message in Moments,
people who care about me will line up from here to Paris. Believe it or not.
A bunch of people just asked me out for a meal.
If I hadn't been unwell, I'd be giving them face by attending their gathering.
Gathering? That's a business meal.
Which family relative or friend wants to see you?
This is called being poor in a busy city and no one asks about you.
The rich will have distant relatives visiting them in remote mountains.
A bunch of people are trying to get together with me.
People will keep rising with their status and position.
One must screen and drop many friends.
Just keep a few useful ones to help you. This is sufficient.
This is society. Get it, rascal?
This is from my many years of experience.
Listen carefully. It'll be helpful to you in the future.
No matter what you invest in, nothing is more useful than investing in your own career.
I got it.
When you lost Chen Ke this year, you don't find it a pity?
I just poured boiling water. It's hot.
It used to be my mom's job to remind you to take medications.
It's great now.
A single and lonely guy, and no one cares about you.
You are an adult now. Can you talk in human language?
Didn't you sire me?
You... You...
Look at how sloppy you are!
What is this called?
You're not good at anything but number one in deceiving your father.
Speak. Say whatever you want and leave immediately after you're done!
Of course, I have a serious matter to talk about.
Y-Space Sports is the sponsor for this year's tournament. Right?
Your nose is rather sharp.
What's the matter?
Since we have the same last name, I'll say it outright.
Our TopSmash club wants the wildcard.
Give it to me.
Your tone of voice is stronger than your strength. Give it to you?
Do you think it's my credit card? You can use it as you wish?
You're Vice President of Marketing. How can you not have the authority to decide?
Does my authority to decide have anything to do with you?
Stop dreaming. You can't compete with your level.
I'm aware of my level.
Give me the card first.
Our club will decide on who to compete with based on ranking.
Your club wants it?
Fine.
Tell your boss to come here and talk to me.
You are really beating around the bush.
If you want to meet my mom, can't you be direct?
Fine! I'll set it up for you. Give her the card.
Who wants to meet your mom? Don't bother to set it up.
You want the card? It's very easy.
I previously stopped your living expenses.
Remember that?
You still haven't admitted your faults. Come, Jiang Jiaojiao, do it now.
Admit that you are at fault today.
Do it and I'll immediately give you the card.
I won't admit it.
I wasn't wrong in helping my friend.
Use your capability to help your friend.
It's the same with the wildcard. When you use it with your capability one day,
you are awesome and I'll respect you.
But telling your father to get it for you, how good are you?
Look at you! Swaying and shaking your head. Are you gloating?
Okay, it's a deal!
I'll tell my mom to come here and talk to you. Okay?
Remember to take your medicine.
[Wang Pu]
Jiaojiao told me that the tennis club needs the wildcard.
He also said that you clearly stated that
you're only willing to give it to us if I asked for it.
Vice President Jiang, can our TopSmash have this wildcard?
How have you been lately?
Pretty good.
Where are you staying? Seems like you're not staying at your original place.
Did you visit?
I just passed by.
Property management said it was rented out.
Jiang Jie, our divorce is real, not fake.
Your sense of boundaries and propriety,
shouldn't you take a careful look at them?
Do you still think you have authority over my business?
We are divorced.
Even if we're not a married couple, we are still friends.
Is there anything wrong with showing my concern as an old friend? Is that wrong?
If concern comes too late, it's just an ill-natured inquiry.
Why didn't I realize this in the past?
Your words are so merciless.
Each sentence shreds all pretense of politeness.
You still don't understand me.
Regarding the wildcard,
if you're not willing to discuss, let's not waste our time.
Take care. I won't see you off.
Hello, You'an.
I think even if I had spoken kindly today, he wouldn't stop being stubborn.
With the tennis club and our divorce, he doesn't think anyone is standing on his side.
I think with this card, if he doesn't flaunt enough of his sense of presence,
there's no way he'll take it out.
Why is Mr. Jiang so immature now?
That's what men are like. The longer they live, the more they regress.
Jiaojiao and I were taught by him.
Now, it's time for you to take the baton.
Got it. I understand.
Okay.
What's the issue? Did she get it?
I'm willing to kneel. As long as he's willing to give us the card, I'm willing to do anything.
Let's go. No more shopping. Let's buy a bottle of good wine.
Song Sanchuan.
What?
If you keep having this expression, you don't need to come with me today.
That won't do. I want to go.
Today, we are going to ask for a favor.
At the very least, it will be uncomfortable.
But it's a scenario I'm very used to, and good at dealing with.
The rules are different compared to when you're beating your opponent at a match.
I know.
I just want to see what kind of person Mr. Jiang is,
and how he exploited you for many years.
Work can't be considered purely as exploitation.
Okay, yes. Don't worry.
For the sake of Jiaojiao's dignity, I won't do anything to him.
You won't drink anything?
The club bans us from drinking during the competition period.
And I need to drive later. I need to send Manager Liang home.
Have more food then.
Okay.
- You're asking for the wildcard for him? - Yes.
Song Sanchuan is currently the first in ranking and points at our club.
Hence, this competition is very important to him.
I heard that recently you have a lot going on. Now I understand.
You brought him over from the badminton team?
Truthfully, I have always regarded him highly.
I think he's one of those rare athletes that have a lot of talent.
During this period of time, he has also proven himself.
After he succeeded in switching to tennis from badminton, his ranking and points have continued to improve.
He is really very, very hardworking.
Now, he just lacks an entry to an internationally ranked competition.
So, this wildcard is really very important to us.
I don't know what resources you used to trade for this card
but if you're willing, I'm willing to work hard to obtain it.
Liang You'an, I'm not happy.
We worked together for many years at Y-Space Sports.
Tell me. Didn't I always protect you?
When we last ate together, we had a row and were upset with each other.
It's as if in front of everyone, I've become repulsive.
Others didn't understand why I wanted to dissolve the tennis club.
I didn't mind but when you didn't understand me, I was very disappointed.
You are calm now. Can you be objective and tell me
whether I was wrong?
Mr. Jie, if you're upset because I didn't take your side when the club was dissolved
and even rejected the position that you gave me,
and you want my apologies, I can apologize.
I'm really sorry.
It wasn't easy for our club to improve at that time.
I believe that TopSmash's current achievements are enough to prove this point to you.
So, during this time, I really hope you can have some faith in us.
But if you're unwilling to take the risk or shield us from hardships,
frankly speaking, till today,
I still can't understand why.
Have you been with them for too long that your thinking has become immature?
Yes, I have been with them for a long time
but I learned courage and responsibility.
Courage and responsibility?
People... can easily change due to their environment.
But I never thought you'd change so quickly.
- When you get to my age... - Mr. Jiang,
I really can't understand the way you speak in circles.
But in sports, we have a principle.
When you're young, confident, and your body is healthy, you like to play offense.
But when you play more and become more experienced, you find yourself getting older.
You're no longer as good as before. You must play defense then.
So for us, age is really not something to brag about.
Especially, when it's using age to admonish someone for being childish
or acting recklessly.
That's when you're truly old.
Not bad. He spoke well.
Youngsters deserve to be praised for their courage.
Compete for another year then.
Why do you need this wildcard?
What's more, this card isn't with me. It's with Gao Li.
From now on, whoever catches the fish first, this wildcard will be his.
It took my bait!
What's this? Playing with us?
I've met people who like to flaunt their sense of presence, but never someone who did that empty-handed.
Do you think this wildcard belongs to you?
As an old guy, let me advise you.
Don't beg Gao Li. That is being reckless.
Take a step back. If I gave you this card, would it work?
What level is this competition? Can you even win?
Liang You'an, you, too.
You let a player enter a competition that he'll surely lose. What is this called?
This is called "destruction."
I've had enough of your hypocritical speeches.
Can you stop viewing yourself with a filter? All these years,
you've always been egoistic with your family and in the workplace!
And granted favors and kindness to your staff like an emperor.
You only think of maintaining your personal integrity. Who gives you the right to demand infinite loyalty from us?
You can trick others today. Let me tell you! You'll face retribution.
You will certainly face retribution!
That's not right.
You've already faced retribution.
Be careful on the escalator!
You're really something. Before we came, you told me that you would kneel. You even tried to convince me.
In the end, you turned hostile instead.
I'm angry! I'm furious! This is something we're betting with our lives.
They seem to be having fun drawing straws before deciding!
Who gives them the right? Fine, if they don't give us the card, why torment us instead?!
It's an eye opener for me today.
I still had some words at the top of my mind but I forgot to say them just now!
I totally didn't express myself well.
Okay, that's enough. If you continue to scold him, Mr. Jiang will cry.
- Next time. Next time! - I'm so furious that I have a headache!
Although what he did was wicked,
but I admit that he was right in this aspect.
I didn't think this through thoroughly. I should have talked to you in advance.
Regarding the rules of this competition,
of course, it's great to win but you get points even if you lose.
Just the difference of one point will make or break your chance to be an international player.
You can improve, too. This is also good for the club.
However,
- I may cause you to face a major failure. - Wait a second.
You might cause me...
Are you blaming yourself again?
For goodness sake, Liang You'an, this is a wildcard match.
Not anyone can have this opportunity to win or lose.
If we can get the wildcard this year,
no matter what, I want to give it a try. It's exciting just thinking about it.
If we don't get it, just like what Jiaojiao's father said,
I can rely on myself to get in next year.
I will get this point sooner or later.
Stop freaking out.
Yes, you are right.
Why would we freak out before even trying?
Did you have enough food just now?
Let's go. I'm taking you to have supper.
Thank you, Young Mr. Gao, for visiting our club in the middle of your busy schedule.
Liang You'an, isn't this welcome a bit excessive?
You deserve it. You have such a busy schedule.
When you visit our club, of course, we should receive you in a grand manner.
What? Jiang Jie has never visited?
He hasn't.
Okay! The display is over. Right?
If there's nothing else, we are going for our training.
Jiaojiao,
why is your photo in second place?
You need to work harder.
Your dad is so outstanding. Don't keep up the tradition of being in the second place.
Okay, Brother.
If there's nothing else, we're going for our training.
Let's go.
Liang You'an, who's using my wildcard?
I should get to know him. Right?
I know you want to play a few sets now that you're here.
He has already warmed up, and waiting for you at the court.
Boss, how do you want to play today?
Let's play a rally.
I've been playing as an amateur for 4 to 5 years. I'm not bad.
Fine.
[TopSmash Tennis Club]
We also prepared high-calcium soft candies for our fellow sports enthusiasts.
Why are you dressed up like this?
Recently, the increase in my number of followers has slowed down.
I need to think and switch to new ideas.
Advertising needs publicity funds, too.
How many followers can you get this way?
In your mind, any problem can be solved with money.
As for me, things can be done without money.
See, our views are at the end of different poles.
Why can't polar bears and penguins be together?
That's because one is at the North Pole and the other is at the South Pole.
Not entirely.
There's a possibility for them to be together.
Think about it. If you take both of them to the zoo,
and place them in the polar climate zone,
they can be neighbors and perform together, too.
Why don't you perform as the polar bear?
Let me be the penguin instead.
That works, too.
Start.
That was satisfying, very satisfying.
Your tennis skills are great.
Every shot of yours was rather accurate.
Liang You'an, I didn't know how great it feels to have a professional training partner.
Every shot was on point. I thought I was an ace.
Of course, you are an ace.
- Young Mr. Gao, you are so good at tennis. - Yes, okay.
You deserve the wildcard.
- Thank you, Boss. - Thank you, Young Mr. Gao.
I know how important this wildcard is to your club.
After this competition,
the professional level of your club will naturally increase.
Your ten players' system is more convincing. Right?
That's right.
Young Mr. Gao, I'm very grateful for your willingness to give our player this wildcard.
Actually, I always had your merits in mind.
When the Jin Yi incident first occurred, you maintained justice above your colleagues
and identified the athlete. It's considered a support for me.
I'm returning the favor now.
However, I'm still a businessman.
I don't do things with zero returns. Do you understand?
I do. Tell me what you need.
Not only will I give you the wildcard,
I'll give you the money too.
I'll even get Y-Space Sports to acquire TopSmash.
I read your proposal.
Your original plan is to wait till your club has made a name for itself
and then, find better investors.
According to your plan, after this wildcard competition,
when Song Sanchuan succeeds, your club will succeed too.
Isn't it a good idea to return to your original sponsor now?
Mr. Gao, back then,
the club was abandoned like a pair of old shoes by you.
Is there a need to do this now?
Back then, it was pair of old shoes.
It's different now.
It can be clearly seen that this project has great potential.
More importantly, it will be back in my hands.
Is this the condition for receiving the wildcard?
Think carefully. It's a guarantee that you will make profits.
I don't need to consider it.
I can give you the answer now. No.
Yes, this club may change ownership in the future, but not now.
We still have many things to achieve.
Most importantly, if I want to choose a new investor,
I'll choose one with the same philosophy.
This club will not become an accessory for power struggles in the group.
It won't also become a tool for a short-term money-making engine.
You are the one who doesn't want it now.
There's nothing for us to discuss then.
[TopSmash Tennis Club]
I finally know now
how you used to juggle in such a dangerous work environment.
These people are so good at scheming.
I didn't expect you to be such a good training partner today.
If I didn't deal with it, you would have to.
I know this better.
Young Mr. Gao is a cunning fox.
He even said that he wanted to acquire our club.
This clearly means we're in the right direction.
The best opportunity is right in front of us.
There's no reason to simply give up.
It's Jiang Jiaojiao.
Answer it.
[Jiang Jiaojiao]
- What's up? - Where is Liang You'an?
She's next to me. Really?
You can tell her. I'll change to speaker mode.
- What's up? - Liang You'an,
I wonder what kind of excitement my father received.
He took the initiative to call me this morning
to talk about the wildcard. He said he's not holding the wildcard
but he knows who Young Mr. Gao is planning to give it to.
Nothing major. Let's work hard. We'll have the opportunity to get it.
Really? That's great.
Can I trouble you to
to find out what the resources that Mr. Gao replaced were
and send them to me? I will make the arrangements.
That's great.
Was Mr. Jiang influenced by you?
- He took the initiative. - In any case,
I won't give up till the final moment.
We should keep trying. Right?
That's right. Go for it.
