Rekindling the dream of becoming a star

Chapter 186 I am the mountain, the mountain is me

When Wang Zhen walked into the classroom, he found that the usually quiet classroom was a little noisy. When his classmates noticed him coming in, they all looked at him in unison.

"Wang Zhen!" Everyone greeted him.

"What's going on?" He was a little confused.

"Chen Fang, can you...can you still contact him?" A classmate asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

"Uh...!" Wang Zhen reacted immediately, remembering Chen Fang's instructions, and said, "It's difficult. Usually it's all emails. There's a time difference between the United States and China, and the day and night are reversed. There's not much chance."

"Hey! I said it, now he is a super star, he must have forgotten us..." The classmate who just spoke said dejectedly.

"Why do you say that?" Wang Zhen was unhappy.

"If we don't contact you, then we will definitely not remember it...!"

Three days had passed since the peak match. During these three days, Chen Fang's name had resounded throughout China and he had become the most popular sports star. All media outlets were reporting on it, and there were even waves of reporters who came to the school to interview him, holding cameras and even coming to the classroom to shoot a video.

In this regard, Wang Zhen kept Chen Fang's words in mind and did not publicize it at all.

Chen Fang said that this kind of thing, no matter how big a fuss it makes, is just a passing fad and will die down after a while. It is not a big deal. It is not worth mentioning because you are not a celebrity.

Wang Zhen asked curiously: Why do you think so? Isn’t this a good thing?

Chen Fang: You will understand in the future that this is not a good thing at all. It will only accumulate a huge amount of black fans for your future.

Although Wang Zhen did not understand, it did not prevent him from having unconditional trust in Chen Fang.

Now Wei Lan is developing rapidly, not only covering the whole Shandong Province, but also radiating to the surrounding provinces. Ma Li has even established a new base in Zhejiang. The changes are too fast. Unknowingly, Wei Lan has become one of the top campus basketball forces in the country.

With more than fifty stadiums (most of which are rented), more than one thousand participating teams, the Blue Weekend Elite League and summer playoffs have taken root in the land of Shandong and become a nationally renowned campus league.

As the third most important figure in Wei Lan, Wang Zhen is actually just a senior high school student who is about to graduate. Once this secret gets out, it will shock many people.

Its subsidiary Blue Media has been booming, signing more than a hundred artists. It not only covers the entire sports industry, but has also begun to expand into the entire industry.

It only took Wang Zhen one year to grow his staff from two part-time students to more than thirty full-time employees.

At Dongsheng School, everyone calls me Wang Zhen. Outside, everyone calls me Brother Zhen or Mr. Wang. To be honest, it feels like a dream. It’s so beautiful.

If it were someone else, he would have become arrogant long ago, but due to Chen Fang's three daily reminders and his own personality, Wang Zhen became very calm and reserved. His mind became clearer, and he focused his energy on work and studies. There were still 48 days before the college entrance examination, and his mock exam scores were steadily around 560 points.

The road ahead has already been planned.

Take the entrance exam to an undergraduate university in your province, and then you can balance your studies and work well.

Wang Zhen may be the one with the most stable mentality in the school. He would go to the school team to play ball during class and after class. After Yue Gang left, Wen Hui became the captain, and the core of the team became Kou Feng and Han Nuo. Together with the three junior high school students who all passed the exam, Bai Long, Lou Qing, and Ge Yuan, the team's strength has increased instead of decreased. It has become a new powerhouse in Nanyang. Judging from the progress of Bai Long and the other two, Dongsheng will only become stronger in the next three years.

During the afternoon self-study class, Wang Zhen wanted to relax, but just as he was about to leave the classroom, he was stopped by someone.

It was Lin Xi. Wang Zhen felt a little uncomfortable. Ever since Chen Fang left, Wang Zhen had been deliberately avoiding this girl. In his opinion, this was someone he didn't want to face.

Yes, every young man has love thoughts. Wang Zhen did have a secret crush on Lin Xi, but because of his secret crush, he discovered that Lin Xi was particularly special to Chen Fang. He felt uncomfortable at first, but when he thought about the fact that it was Chen Fang, his brother, he had to give up the idea sadly.

It is precisely because of this that he repeatedly reminded Chen Fang to consider Lin Xi. This is pure boyish admiration, without any other mixture. It is a simple and beautiful hope that the person he likes can be happy.

Unfortunately, Chen Fang was really not interested. Until now, Wang Zhen actually understood that Chen Fang had never considered Lin Xi from the very beginning.

"What's the matter?" Wang Zhen asked pretending to be confused.

"Did Chen Fang really not contact you?" Lin Xi asked the same question.

This time, Wang Zhen did not lie: "No, we are in contact quite frequently. We even chatted for a while yesterday."

Lin Xi's pretty face also showed a smile: "I knew he was not that kind of person."

"How is he doing now?"

Seeing Lin Xi's concerned expression, Wang Zhen secretly sighed: "It's good. The competition and training are going well."

"That's great!" Lin Xi was relieved. She thanked him and said, "Then I'll go back to the classroom."

Looking at the satisfied Lin Xi, Wang Zhen couldn't control his emotions and shouted, "Wait."

"what?"

"Lin Xi, there are some things I don't want to hide from you." Wang Zhen felt that it was time to say it. He once discussed with Chen Fang that he should not delay Lin Xi, but Chen Fang said depressedly: I have already gone to the United States, how can I delay her?
Wang Zhen's meaning was made clear by what he said, but Chen Fang stopped him with one sentence: Don't affect the college entrance examination.

So Wang Zhen had always planned to wait until the college entrance examination was over before telling Lin Xi.

But looking at Lin Xi's current appearance, he really doesn't want to hold it in anymore.

"Actually, Chen Fang has no interest in you at all." Wang Zhen had a hard time speaking these words, which weighed a ton of force.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xi nodded calmly: "I know, I figured it out a year ago."

"Ah!" It was Wang Zhen's turn to be confused.

"Then why do you still care about him?" Wang Zhen was puzzled.

Lin Xi once again said something that made Wang Zhen panic: "Don't you care about me too?"

Even though Wang Zhen was already the boss, his face immediately turned red with shame. Even though Lin Xi had left, he was still unaware.

I went to the stadium dejectedly. The current Dongsheng Stadium should be called a stadium. There is a steel frame roof on top. Although it is simple, at least I don’t have to worry about weather factors.

But many people still miss the big shade of the trees on the south stand, miss the afterglow of the setting sun that covered the stadium with a golden robe, and miss the milky white moonlight at night that transformed the stadium into the night scene of an ivory tower.

So as long as the weather is good, the school team will go to other stadiums for training, and Dongsheng Stadium has gradually become a venue for competitions.

Wang Zhen found the school team at the second stadium with stands. They had just finished training and were taking a break. When they saw Wang Zhen coming, everyone stood up and greeted him.

Just kidding, the powerful boss of Wei Lan, Chen Fang's confidant, either identity is worthy of your respect.

Especially now, Bai Long was shouting the most happily, and he kept asking: "How is Brother Fang now?"

"What else can I do? I train and play basketball every day just like you guys!"

"I watched the game and all the news." Bai Long was extremely excited: "Brother Zhen, do you know who did Brother Fang go to dinner with after the game?"

"With whom?" Wang Zhen really didn't know. Chen Fang basically wouldn't talk about these things. The two of them had limited time and only focused on the development of the company.

"Harden, Rondo, Garnett!" Bai Long gritted his teeth and said, "Four of them were having dinner in a luxury restaurant and took a group photo." As he said that, he went to find his cell phone. When Wang Zhen took it back, he saw that it was a screenshot of Twitter. The picture showed the truth.

The photo shows Chen Fang, Harden, Rondo and Garnett sitting in a restaurant, with a passage in English below.

Wang Zhen's English was now passable. He took a look and saw that the English sentence said: "Happy gathering with my little brother." (Harden really likes to use the word happy)
"Whose Twitter?" Wang Zhen asked.

"Harden's!"

"Fuck!" Wang Zhen was really envious. He was a fan of Harden. Chen Fang, damn it, knew it but didn't say anything.

"Who doesn't want to fuck? How come Chen Fang has become so awesome in the blink of an eye!" Wen Hui sighed. His impression of Chen Fang still remains in the first year of high school. When he called Chen Fang to join the grade team, Chen Fang jumped up and hugged his arm, flattering him and calling him "Brother Wen is awesome" and "Brother Wen is the boss."

So, everyone started a new round of envy. After all, most of these people had spent every day with Chen Fang.

When a person suddenly becomes the hope of fans across the country, this feeling of gap is particularly complicated for those who are familiar with him.

Chen Fang's influence has reached an extremely high level. The news broadcast that night congratulated Chen Fang on his achievement of scoring 53 points to defeat the US team. Just tell me, who else can be so awesome?

"I've been watching the highlights of this match these past few days. I was kneeling the whole time. I'm speechless. Chen Fang has become so amazing now."

"Me too. I've known Captain Chen is good, but I didn't expect him to be this good. Now people say he's sure to make it to the NBA, and he has a chance of getting the No. 1 pick."

"I heard that the school regretted it so much that it actually released Chen Fang's student status. Now it's unclear which is Chen Fang's alma mater. I feel extremely uneasy." Wang Zhen didn't respond to everyone's discussion, but just listened from the side. He really liked listening to these things. He loved to listen to anything that praised his brother.

Suddenly it felt very bright, and when I looked up, the setting sun sank from the clouds and shone on the top of the mountain. The golden afterglow illuminated the entire stadium. The grass in the cracks of the concrete floor was lush and growing along with the wind and light.

It’s a bit sad, there are only 48 days left in the wonderful high school life.

Wang Zhen looked up at the blue sky and let out a long breath.

The future will be better.

※※※

Yue Gang went to a party with his girlfriend. At the dinner table, Jiang Chenfeng, who was on the basketball team next door and was also his old enemy, suddenly asked, "Old Yue, is Chen Fang really your brother?"

"Can that be false?"

"You're not exaggerating, are you? I know Chen Fang is from Nanyang, but today I heard at least a few people from Nanyang claiming to be Chen Fang's brother!"

"Ha! So funny!" Yue Gang could only laugh.

"Then you contact Chen Fang. I really don't believe it." Seeing that Yue Gang didn't respond, Jiang Chenfeng became more convinced of his judgment.

There were seven or eight people at the table, especially his new girlfriend. Yue Gang really couldn't stand it. He knew that this guy was unhappy with him. It was because he had caught the woman he couldn't catch.

"Don't you know there is a time difference?" Yue Gang said.

"It's eight o'clock in the evening, and it's almost noon in the United States. It's just right!" Jiang Chenfeng saw through Yue Gang's evasion.

It was a bit embarrassing to be honest. Yue Gang had Chen Fang's contact information, and they talked a lot last year. This year, he knew Chen Fang was very busy, so he didn't bother him.

"Let me try. I'm not trying to show off, but this kind of thing is quite childish. It's pure evil for you, Jiang Chenfeng, to do this in front of so many people." Yue Gang took out his cell phone and tried to send a message to Chen Fang.

The waiting time was torturous. Yue Gang put his mobile phone on the table. He turned his head and saw his girlfriend's concerned eyes, so he smiled and shook his head slightly to indicate that she should not worry.

"Ding ding!" It was like heavenly music, Yue Gang's spirits were lifted up at once, he picked up the phone and looked at it.

Thank God, Chen Fang really replied.

Captain, what's the matter?
Seeing this, Yue Gang felt so relieved that he quickly replied: It’s okay, I just haven’t congratulated you on your winning shot in the peak game.

Haha, I've been waiting for you for three days, captain, and I thought you disliked my poor performance!
How is that possible? It was such a great fight.

While replying, Yue Gang picked up the phone, shook it at Jiang Chenfeng, and sneered: "What else do you want to say?"

"Tsk, it's just a chat history. Who can't change his avatar and nickname?" Jiang Chenfeng really didn't believe it. With Yue Gang's basketball skills, he was the captain of the team known as the Great Devil Chen. Isn't it funny? Does he think I'm a fool?

"Okay, I'll give you a hard one!" Yue Gang was also angry. Usually, this guy always relied on his brother being the leader of the school team to target him. Damn it, if he makes me angry, I will call the Blue Elite Team to wipe out you bunch of rubbish from the school team.

He replied to Chen Fang: I have a girlfriend, do you want to see my sister-in-law?
Chen Fang replied immediately: Of course, haha.

Randomly, the video invitation came.

Good job, Chen Fang, you were awesome today.

Yue Gang was stunned, and then he almost put his face to Jiang Chenfeng's face and said, "Look, Chen Fang played the video for me."

“What the hell!” Everyone at the table was shocked. They were just there to watch the fun at first, so how did it lead to a real dragon appearing?

"Really?" A new fan of Chen Fang immediately got up from the table and moved next to Yue Gang.

After answering the call and waiting for a while, Chen Fang's face appeared on the screen.

"Captain!" Chen Fang waved at the camera, then asked in confusion: "Why is my sister-in-law a man? Are you studying at a university in Chengdu?"

"Get lost!" Yue Gang just realized that there was a face behind his head. He pushed it away and pointed his phone at his girlfriend: "This is my wife. Let me introduce her, Jin Xiaolei."

"Hello, Chen Fang!" Jin Xiaolei was a little nervous.

"Hello, sister-in-law. You are so beautiful. Brother Yue is so lucky." Chen Fang's words immediately amused Jin Xiaolei and relieved her nervousness.

"Also, I was having dinner with my friends, and they didn't believe we knew each other."

Chen Fang understood immediately and said, "I can't be impolite. Brother Yue's friends are my friends. I'll say hello to everyone."

Then, Yue Gang pointed the phone at the dining table, and everyone saw Chen Fang.

"Hello, brothers and sisters-in-law. I am Chen Fang, Brother Yue's capable subordinate. In Nanyang, Yue Gang has always been there to protect me. Without Yue Gang, there would be no me. I hope everyone will take good care of my brother in college."

"Hello, Chen Fang, hello!" A group of people responded hurriedly.

"You go and do your thing. I'll continue eating." Yue Gang felt that it was about time. If he continued chatting, it would appear that he had a low EQ. So he exchanged a few pleasantries and then interrupted the video.

Putting the phone back on the table, Yue Gang stared at the embarrassed Jiang Chenfeng without saying a word.

Jiang Chenfeng picked up a bottle of beer, opened the lid with his teeth, performed a little whirlwind on the spot, drank it in one gulp, and wiped his mouth.

"Uh, I'm a villain." He burped and admitted his mistake. It was quite straightforward, and Yue Gang let it go.

A small episode cannot describe all the mundane things in life such as building tall buildings and entertaining distinguished guests.

On the court, Chen Fang put down his phone, and Rondo next to him asked, "Are you ready?"

"Okay, let's continue!" Chen Fang stood up.

He continued the one-week special training session that he, Rondo and Garnett had arranged for him, focusing on practicing his cognition on defense and offensive reading.

Both of them are masters of defense and experienced players. For this, Chen Fang is very grateful for the support from the two big brothers.

I have to say, although it’s fun, the attitude on the court is very harsh. During these few days, Chen Fang suffered the most in his memory.

The trash talk of the two combined could fill up the entire sewer of Portland.

"If your goal is to go to the NBA, we don't want to waste any more effort, but if you want to be the top star, the boss, you still have a long way to go," Rondo said with a straight face.

"Hey, Chen, you are still too soft. You have to keep your iron-blooded label. If you don't want to get hurt or be attacked by others, you have to learn how to be ruthless first." Garnett yelled at Chen Fang.

(O'Neal has hardly ever been injured in his career. His injuries were all caused by strain. Almost no one in the entire league dared to criticize him. He once revealed in an interview that in the first few seasons of his career, whenever he encountered a dirty team, he would definitely give the opponent a hard foul in the first quarter, especially those who dared to rush into the inside.)
Garnett also taught him that the first foul of every game must be ruthless. Anyone who dares to mess with you should be hit hard when the opportunity arises.

Don't smile, keep a fierce face and play the game.

Rondo called in a group of black, rough and tough guys who came out of nowhere, and they all really attacked. Chen Fang was in great pain, but he also enjoyed it.

Come on, come on, this road is full of thorns, and anyone who walks through it will be covered with scars.

Chen Fang devoted himself to training, and he was very clear about what he had said to Wang Zhen.

The wind will eventually stop, only the mountains will remain motionless, and everything that is blown up will eventually fall to the ground and become mud that will destroy you.

Think of yourself as a mountain, then the wind and rain will wash away your dirt and restore your original appearance.

I am the mountain and the mountain is me.

(This article is dedicated to the laid-off Xiao Cui. The future is still long. Think of yourself as a mountain and keep your love for basketball down-to-earth. The wind and rain will wash away the filth of the world on you. Come on!)
　I have some things in my heart that I want to say. Since those who read my books have high quality and cognition, we can be considered as kindred spirits.

　　To be honest, some people are not worthy of being fans. It's not worth playing for them. If they get injured or cut, anyone with a moral bottom line will encourage them.

　　The Internet is full of sarcasm, as if Cui had done something to insult them, which made them gloat over it and celebrate like a carnival.

　　too disgusting!
