My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 912 If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you catch the tiger’s cubs?
Zhang Jinsong and his group returned to Hong Kong even before Rang Weidong.

However, only Fan Bin's parents were able to complete the necessary procedures to visit and experience Hong Kong.

The other family members were able to come to Pengzhen with the certificates issued by the West District Wharf, so they could stay close to their children and even walk back to Pengzhen for training every day when there were no official competitions.

The parents of these players, like the Xiao family, all have experience in basketball and volleyball, and are mostly local sports officials or coaches.

This situation prevented Wei Dong from easily going to Hong Kong through any formalities.

Take it slow, and try to apply for passports and travel permits through your own workplace to visit relatives.

So the children were overjoyed when they heard that their new home would be closer to Pengzhen.

After three or four months, they've started to look more professional.

Fan Bin and Adi Jiang are learning to drive.

Zhang Jinsong was too young and followed Ma Jian in his playful ways. He especially liked to pester Kamp and Li Yue'e to go to the water sports center to play paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkeling, and the like.

He also went hiking every few days with great energy, climbing several trails on Victoria Peak on Hong Kong Island over and over again.

Even with teachers specially arranged by Wei Dong to teach them English, general knowledge, finance, etiquette, and other subjects, they still managed to stay awake.

I'm very curious and want to learn a little bit of everything.

This highlights a completely new way of life where playing ball is playing ball, and life is life.

It's a huge difference from my previous life in the professional team, where I lived a life that consisted of going back and forth between the dormitory and the stadium every day.

Lu Bin brought four young coaches from military units, plus a coach from the Jibei team.

They came and stayed at the Dong Sheng Basketball Gymnasium, living and working alongside the foreign coaching staff and the local athletes.

I also feel extremely envious of these four lucky little brothers.

So without needing to be repeatedly told or instructed, after Wei Dong made the suggestion once, Ma Jian and the others all quit smoking and stopped drinking heavily.

Knowing how to cherish one's health, one should try to extend one's career as much as possible to experience life.

If they can move to their own house in the future and their parents can come and live with them, that might be the happiest time for them since they embarked on their basketball career.

Almost all of them left home to start their careers at the age of ten or so in youth sports schools, and when they entered professional teams, they were hundreds or thousands of miles away from home.

It's very cruel.

Therefore, Xiao Ming, who was raised by his parents, reminisced about the bitter past and the sweet present.

One by one, these men, barely teenagers themselves, leaned wearily against the railing of the seaside villa, admonishing their seven-year-old brother, "If you had started playing ball with Brother Dong earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer like we have these past few years."

Actually, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao went through the same thing. In particular, Mrs. Xiao became the captain of the women's basketball team and always hoped that her son would study and go to university. She just couldn't bear to be separated from him and suffer.

Wei Dong thought to himself, "You have no idea what this child will achieve in the future."

That's perfect.

Playing sports allows you to utilize your talents and strengths, your parents don't have to separate, and you're even next to a prestigious university, so there's no need to worry about not being able to study in the future.

In the past two years, since entering primary school, he has become an ostrich being watched by everyone. Xiao Ming is only seven years old but already has a hunchback.

But following these tall guys, you'll definitely straighten your back.

Mr. and Mrs. Xiao both admitted that these were the days when they saw their son laugh the most since he was a child.

He's always sneaking around wanting to hang out with these guys, and he's willing to go through intense basketball training with them for it.

So, after returning to Shanghai to complete the necessary procedures, and with the completion of the Star Village construction in a year or two, we aim to bring the family of three over for training and living near the basketball park before the Olympics.

Wei Dong didn't even sign any agreements with them to impose restrictions.

I would like to emphasize: "They helped Hong Kong in the Olympics, so they can no longer join the national team. But they have completed their historical mission before the handover. I have explained this to their parents. Xiaoming should take serving the country as his ultimate goal. So we are not fleeing the mainland, but just choosing a different training path. I will try my best to communicate with the relevant departments. I will bear the pressure."

Old Xiao usually doesn't speak, and always sits gently beside his wife, watching her take the lead.

But at this critical juncture, he still nodded affirmatively: "We've discussed it, and it's clear that Rang always wants to contribute to the basketball cause. This is the best choice for Xiaoming as well. So let's hope that he can live up to your expectations and achieve good results through hard work."

Wei Dong easily put the family of three on a flight back to Shanghai.

He instructed Lao Xiao to report to work at the car factory as soon as he got back, and even suggested that Xiao's mother take a leave of absence without pay and work at the basketball park. With all personnel matters under Wei Dong's control, it was only natural for the couple to be sent to live and work in Hong Kong with their child.

Xiao Ming said goodbye to Uncle Rang in a childish voice.

Qin Yuye took her husband's arm and waved goodbye with a kind expression.

But she was complaining: "Ah, it feels like we've finally finished welcoming and seeing off all the relatives during the Spring Festival. Now... Master, would you like to go and inspect the artists' village? Vivian really likes it there."

Wei Dong grabbed Qin Yuye's waist and spanked him right there in the airport lobby: "I really have absolutely no connection to this, so stop causing trouble, okay?" Qin Yuye wasn't afraid of the reporters who were overjoyed and raised their cameras.

There's also a post from Xiao Qiao that says: "I don't want this either, but my mindset has really become so humble that I just want you to be happy..."

Wei Dong, who had initially thought the slap was really good and wanted to slap her a couple more times, stopped and said disdainfully, "I'm telling you, you're just a poor, lazy horse with lots of shit and pee. Xue Qing is busy to death every day now, can't you learn from her?"

The words were harsh, but he held her hand tightly as they walked out, and even spread his arms to shield his wife from the camera.

Qin Yuye hugged his arms tighter: "I used to be able to proudly do foreign trade and overseas markets for you, but now I can't understand the computer projects you talk about with Bob and the others at all. I've been secretly buying computer books to read, but I still don't understand. The gang belongs to Third Sister, the real estate belongs to Ah Ming, the sports field belongs to Brother Fa, and that damn Hui has taken over all the work in front of and behind the scenes. I'm useless!"

The way she looked down and pouted while speaking was truly heartbreaking.

No wonder Wei Dong had already sent two or three women abroad. Instead of comforting them, he mocked and attacked them: "You just wanted to be a rich lady, right? Now that you've achieved it, it doesn't matter if it's useless. I'll just consider it as ridding the people of a scourge!"

Qin Yuye was both amused and exasperated, and jumped up to let Wei Dong carry her on his back. The Hong Kong girl wasn't used to hitting hard, so she happily grabbed his ears with both hands and twisted them in opposite directions to direct his direction.

Wei Dong, on the contrary, happily tidied it up casually.

Women in the southwest are much more ruthless than this.

This attracted many gossip reporters to follow and take pictures.

All Hong Kong citizens can see the deep affection between Bo Zai Dong and his wife; Qin Yu Ye's playful yet angry expression is not fake.

They are much more vibrant than those submissive wives who follow behind billionaires.

In fact, as soon as they got in the car, Wei Dong urged his wife: "If you really want to do something, then get your jeans and casual wear business going, and get those sports brand export processing businesses going too. I'm trying every possible way to get big port business going. If you can handle the export trade as much as possible, then you'll be useful. All the profits will be yours. I just need the port to be busy."

Only a handful of boats docked throughout the entire Spring Festival, which was really frustrating.

Qin Yuye then asked suspiciously, "You don't mean you want me to go on a business trip to North America so you can free up some space, do you?"

Wei Dong immediately cursed, "I'll make room for you. Once things start here, I'll go back to Shangzhou in the spring to work on the corn. You can do whatever you want. You're so annoying, always so suspicious. You're crazy."

Qin Yuye then chuckled and fell silent.

But instead of working diligently in the office, she followed her husband to police basketball games and made public appearances.

I thought it was her favorite socialite and public affairs.

Wei Dong drove his Dynaudio car and, on the way, gathered five Dodge minivans at the pier basketball court. Like a bunch of robbers, they drove into the Police Academy on the southern slope of Hong Kong Island.

It's actually right next to Deep Water Bay; I pass by here every day.

The Hong Kong Police Academy, which has been depicted countless times in Hong Kong films and TV dramas, is actually quite heavily guarded.

In Rang Weidong's opinion, it was similar to those military compounds in mainland China.

The newly sponsored Dodge minivan, sporting a fresh new livery, led several other vehicles painted with the Dong Sheng Basketball Arena livery as they entered, immediately receiving a warm welcome from many uniformed police cadets.

Many uniformed students were jogging towards the basketball court.

These universities, which emphasize physical fitness, have a much higher level of enthusiasm for basketball than other science and engineering or liberal arts universities.

However, to Wei Dong's surprise, the foreign police chief he had met at the exhibition match before the Spring Festival appeared again. Was he very free?

He's gotten quite adept at it now; he just smiles and waits for his wife to translate when people speak English or Cantonese.
On the contrary, it can buffer thinking and communication.

It was just an open-air basketball court, but it quickly filled with thousands of uniformed players. It turned out that not only the police came, but also the fire department's basketball team, which they often played against. They said that they definitely couldn't win by fighting head-on, so the two teams would take turns attacking.

On a spring afternoon, the subtropical climate of the southern slopes of Hong Kong Island meant that the sun wasn't too intense.

The young men, who were already practicing their routine in the basketball gym, warmed up briefly before going on the court and beating up amateur basketball enthusiasts.

These days, the guys who frequent the stadium are doing this.

Every week, baseball enthusiasts can still compete for the HK$10,000 championship, but they can also spend HK$2,000 to challenge Blackie, and HK$5,000 to play against Camp and Adijiang. If they win, the winnings are doubled, but of course, it's always just to give these guys extra food.

Regardless of who wins, the amateur teams from each district are still eager to use the prize money to challenge these guys. They keep fighting despite repeated defeats, and they are overjoyed to be able to play against Kanzai and his friends.

It has indeed improved the basketball atmosphere in Hong Kong.

Police basketball players now clearly experience the same joy of idol worship, willingly becoming mere background figures just to personally experience the feeling of playing against top players.

Kemp skillfully delivered a few powerful dunks, widening the gap, then covered his head with a towel and stood on the sidelines, slacking off.

Standing with high-ranking police officers under the sunshade of the adjacent building, Rang Weidong, still feeling sorry for his skilled teammate, made a casual suggestion: "How about our basketball association sponsors some funds to build a rain shelter for this basketball court? It's our sports association's way of supporting the sports hobbies of various units."

Thanks to years of planting grass and flowers with Lao Shi, I've mastered the articulate tone quite well.

Unexpectedly, after his wife translated, the foreign department head asked directly, "Were you sent from the North to do this job?"

Qin Yuye was startled, feeling as if he were trapped in enemy territory and could be captured at any moment!
