Full-time master: I have a spirit behind me.

"Yawn...I'm so sleepy." Bai Shu yawned loudly, with obvious dark circles under his eyes.

"The task assigned to you yesterday was not too heavy, right? Didn't you have any rest?" Qiu Fei glanced at Bai Shu.

"No, I felt refreshed after finishing the analysis report, so I just stayed awake and watched some anime." Bai Shu rubbed his eyes: "What do you want to eat?"

"Bread is fine... Oh, and here's the instant noodles that Boss Wei ordered." Qiu Fei took a look and confirmed the name of the instant noodles.

It’s from Master Kong for sure.

A few days ago, Boss Wei almost got furious because he bought Kangshoufu instant noodles without reading the words carefully.

"Then I'll have a couple of bites of bread too. The boss lady said she'd take us to eat something good tonight." Bai Shu touched his stomach and said, "Just a little filling... Let's go."

The two of them went to the cashier with bags in their arms.

There is no such thing as doing odd jobs in the Embers Team. The two little ones came out to buy things not because of their seniority, but simply because the other four were a little unsteady when walking, so they simply came out to buy some food to fill their stomachs.

Qiu Fei looked down at the receipt, and the two walked out the door one after the other. But soon, Qiu Fei bumped into Bai Shu's back: "What's wrong?"

Bai Shu didn't say anything. He grabbed Qiu Fei and pulled him into the convenience store, looking outside with a sly look on his face: "Shh! Look outside!"

Qiu Fei was startled, and looked in the direction of Bai Shu's finger, his eyes slightly lit up: "Xiao Wen and Brother Jiale and Brother Zheping? Let's go..."

"Are you crazy? Do you want to be fired next season for stepping into the club's gate with your left foot?" Bai Shu asked seriously.

Qiu Fei looked at Bai Shu blankly.

Bai Shu shook his head: "Why do you think we didn't tell others about our visit to Zurich?"

Qiu Fei thought for a moment: "Are you afraid that we will disrupt the state of the national team players?"

"Bullshit, even if we can influence them, how much can we influence them? Besides, can we really affect their condition?" Bai Shu said to his brother in a frustrated manner, "It's because of the boss lady, the boss lady!"

"what?"

"You haven't reacted yet?" Bai Shu sighed, "The boss lady wants to give Xiao Wen a surprise! Think about it, if our Huaxia team won the championship, and the boss lady suddenly appeared, gave her blessings, and then did that, wouldn't she be able to win Xiao Wen directly?"

Qiu Fei frowned, as if thinking about something.

"Let's take a step back and say that even if we lose by a one in a hundred thousand chance, the boss lady will show up and comfort Xiao Wen, so won't everything else go smoothly?" Bai Shu's eyes grew serious. "All of this is in the boss lady's calculations. No matter what, the end of the World Invitational will be the day when our boss lady defeats Xiao Wen!"

"So... complicated?" Qiu Fei frowned.

"You have to know that when it comes to love, women are all famous detectives and masters of love!" Bai Shu said.

Qiu Fei nodded.

"Hey? Xiaobai, Xiaoqiu? Why are you here?" A puzzled voice sounded, scaring the two of them. They quickly turned their heads and saw Zhang Jiale and Sun Zheping looking at them.

Otherwise, write a resignation report when you get back?
Cold sweat flowed down Bai Shu's forehead.

"When did you come? Didn't the boss lady say before that she couldn't buy the tickets and might not be able to come for team building until it's over?" Zhang Jiale asked doubtfully.

"Xiao Wen didn't come." Qiu Fei reminded in a low voice.

Bai Shu suddenly felt like he had escaped death, and he desperately pulled the two back. He looked carefully outside the convenience store. Li Wen was sitting by the flower bed, looking at the sky and thinking about something.

"It's okay. Things are a bit simple and a bit complicated. In short, the boss lady wants to give you a surprise... The most important thing is to give Xiao Wen a surprise. Don't ask about the deeper details. It involves too much and it's not good to know too much. I'll keep it to myself." Bai Shu said nonsense.

Zhang Jiale and Sun Zheping looked at each other with a look of sudden realization, then smiled and nodded: "I see, I just didn't see you at that time, right?"

"That's right, Brother Le, you are really my brother." Bai Shu said with tears of gratitude.

"Okay, then go buy a few bottles of water for my brother now." Zhang Jiale gave the order carelessly.

"Brother, you choose. I'll treat you no matter how much you drink..." Bai Shu said with a flattering smile.

Li Wen, who was outside, looked in the direction of the convenience store with some confusion. Brother Jiale and Brother Zheping were so slow: "Brother Muqiu?"

[Um, maybe, um... Hey hey hey Xiao Wen, that girl over there has been looking at you for a long time! ] Su Muqiu retracted his gaze and quickly pointed to one side.

Li Wen was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction Su Muqiu pointed, and his attention was easily diverted.

The girl saw Li Wen looking at her, nodded shyly, and walked over hesitantly: "Um, are you Chinese too?"

"Yes, hello." Li Wen said with a smile: "How can I help you?"

"Well, if it's convenient, can you add me on WeChat or LINE..." the girl asked courageously.

Li Wen was startled and said apologetically: "Um, sorry, I..."

A figure came to my mind and my face turned slightly red.

The girl was stunned for a moment, seemed to understand something, and left dejectedly.

[Hey, what did you think of just now? ] Su Muqiu smiled and elbowed Li Wen.

"Nothing... nothing." Li Wen shook his head repeatedly: "Ah, Brother Zheping and Brother Jiale are back! Why did they buy so much water?"

"We encountered an event, a limited-time event, the Paladin's handle." Zhang Jiale said with a smile.

"Eh?"

"The girl just now..." Sun Zheping glanced at the girl who had left.

"Asking...for directions." Li Wen explained quickly.

Zhang Jiale and Sun Zheping looked at each other and nodded thoughtfully: "Is that so..."

……

"So, Brother Bai Shu, what are you doing again?" Qiu Fei looked at Bai Shu with some curiosity as he put away his phone, took out a small notebook, and carefully recorded something.

"I just taught you how to avoid being fired. Now, I'm teaching you how to get promoted and get a raise." Bai Shu said seriously, "Think about it, if we tell the boss lady that Xiao Wen rejected the girl's request for his contact information, and then say that Xiao Wen rejected her by saying that he already has a girlfriend named Chu Xue, who is very beautiful, so he can't give her his contact information, do you think the boss lady will be very happy?"

"Uh?" Qiu Fei stared at Bai Shu blankly: "Um, can you hear it from such a distance?"

"Of course it's just speculation! Anyway, the landlady won't tell Xiao Wen about this." Bai Shu said with regret.

"Isn't this a bit too..." "There's no point in saying more! The competition for vice-captain has always been so cruel, Xiao Qiu! Even if it's you, I won't let you off even a little bit!"

...Uh, what's going on? Qiu Fei's face darkened. Did Brother Fang think of this before he even left?
Well, I'll go and tell Brother Fang about it when I get back. After all, it's a dispute over the position of deputy captain... Qiu Fei was suddenly stunned.

"What's wrong, Xiao Qiu?" After making sure that Zhang Jiale, Sun Zheping and the others had gone far away, Bai Shu turned around and wanted to call Qiu Fei to go back quickly.

Qiu Fei came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head: "Nothing..."

After being with everyone for a long time, I have become like this myself. However, this feeling is not bad...

……

Hotel lounge

"Stop... stop, take a break." Sun Xiang turned off the treadmill and said breathlessly, "I can't do it anymore."

On both sides, Tang Hao and Zhou Zekai looked at him helplessly: "You've only run for a short while, keep going, at least run another kilometer."

"No, no..." Sun Xiang shook his head repeatedly.

Tang Hao looked at Zhou Zekai and said, "You Samsaras need to strengthen this aspect. We won't be able to fight for another two years with this kind of stamina."

Zhou Zekai smiled and nodded.

Physical fitness is equally important for professional players.

It is recognized throughout the league that there are three players with the longest professional lifespan. Apart from Yu Wenzhou's special case, Han Wenqing and Tian Sen are the best examples.

Old Han has played all ten seasons from beginning to end and is heading towards the eleventh season. In addition to his strong will, this is also closely related to Han Wenqing's regular training.

And Tian Sen is a real muscular man. Even if he retires in the future and does not plan to be a coach or anchor, he can still make it in the fitness area.

Professional players often stay up late, sit often, and stare at computer screens, which puts a huge strain on their bodies. If they don't practice well, retiring early is the only way out.

Sun Xiang naturally knew Tang Hao's good intentions, and he also knew that if they hadn't been together day and night for more than two months, the other party would not have reminded him like this: "I'll find a fitness coach when I get back. Now, please let me rest for a while..."

Tang Hao shook his head helplessly, put on his headphones, and continued jogging.

Zhou Zekai thought about it, pointed to the rest area, and walked over with Sun Xiang.

On the table in the lounge area, there was also the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which Sun Xiang had been reading almost all the time in recent months. This was already the third time Sun Xiang had read it...

"Come on, Xiao Zhou, play table football with me!" Huang Shaotian invited earnestly, "I have already defeated Fang Rui, Mu Cheng and Yun Xiu. Sun Xiang, you wait behind Xiao Zhou until Tang Hao is done or Xiao Wen and the others who went to buy water come back. I want to complete the achievement of dominating the national team in table football!"

Zhou Zekai thought about it, shook his head, smiled, pointed to the bookshelf, and pulled out a book at random.

The Chinese version of the Analects.

"Reading more books is indeed beneficial, Captain. I suggest that Deputy Captain Jiang also read it carefully. He can learn a lot." Sun Xiang happily opened the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: "Reading more useful books is very beneficial. What are you reading, Captain? The Analects? I suggest you read the Spring and Autumn Annals, Captain! Even Lord Guan read the Spring and Autumn Annals!"

"Is this true?" Fang Rui turned his head and took a look. He was holding a comic book in his hand. In comparison, it did seem a little incomparable.

Chu Yunxiu put down the fashion magazine in her hand with a gloomy face: "Why are you so annoying! Go pick out the things for Auntie yourself!"

Su Mucheng rolled her eyes at him in annoyance: "That's right! Go pick it yourself!"

"Everything I said is true..." Sun Xiang muttered unconvinced, then closed his mouth in dismay.

Reading a book quietly is also a good choice.

Huang Shaotian saw that no one wanted to play table football with him, so he sat down and started playing with his phone.

Forget it, forget it. It would be nice to study the techniques of trash talking and practice hand speed behind their backs. Should I go to the Weicao official forum, Weibo, or the God's Domain forum today?

Huang Shaotian also started his own battle.

"Are you all here? Oh, Lao Yu and the others are not here. Never mind. I'll treat everyone to some water!" Zhang Jiale walked in with a smile on his face. Li Wen and Sun Zheping beside him were also holding bags in their hands.

"Eh? So good, come here, let me see what's good to drink." Fang Rui became interested and quickly took the bag from Li Wen's hand: "The one who's exercising over there, come and drink some water. Mr. Zhang paid for it today."

"Why don't you ask me to answer it for me?" Zhang Jiale said with a dark face.

Everyone shared the water happily. Although it was no different from the water we usually drink, it would always be sweeter if it was treated to by others.

"Indeed, where are those guys? It seems like we haven't seen them since morning." Chu Yunxiu lost interest in the fashion magazine. She looked around and found that the tactical masters were indeed nowhere to be seen.

"Should he be analyzing the next opponent?" Huang Shaotian held his chin up and typed with one hand, but he was still typing very fast. It was unknown who he was fighting fiercely with: "Wang Jiexi seemed to have gone with him. I don't drink anything that doesn't come with a breath."

"I'm going to analyze the opponent..." Li Wen looked into the lounge and said, "I feel like if we continue to rest, it might not be a good idea."

"That's true. How can we rest in peace if this is the case?" Fang Rui sighed. "It's boring to just stay here. Let's go and listen to what they have to say."

"We definitely can't let them roll it up secretly behind our backs!" Sun Xiang rolled up his sleeves.

"Let's go together!"

It’s strange to say, normally, everyone always wants to rest for a while, but after the World Invitational Tournament, everyone is always resistant to rest time. If it weren’t for Ye Xiu’s strong request, the half-day rest time after each game would be cancelled.

It is normal. You need to have a good balance between tension and relaxation. A string that is kept taut will eventually break. As a professional player, you also need to learn to rest.

However, it was already the last game and no one really wanted to take a break.

The group packed up their things, returned to their rooms to wash up, and then headed towards the meeting room in a mighty force.

As expected, the four major tacticians, including Wang Jiexi, were all there, with all kinds of information on their tablets.

"Huh? Why are you here?" Xiao Shiqin was startled and looked at them.

"I've rested enough. What are you looking at?" Zhang Jiale asked curiously.

"Analysis files sent by each team." Ye Xiu smiled and said, "Since you don't want to rest, let's get started."

Start, the final work.

The members of the national team smiled at each other, took their seats, and looked at the paper documents in their hands.

So, let's get started. (End of this chapter)
