Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 128 Poaching from the National Team, Sponsorship Scramble (Please Subscribe)
As the sun shone through the window, Jiang Hongcai slowly opened his eyes.

"hiss!"

I only felt the soreness in my body when I got up. After all, I had played five games in a row, and the fatigue in my body finally came over me after the game.

"It seems we really need to build a team!"

He reached for his phone, which had been ringing incessantly the previous night, and Jiang Hong had simply turned it off.

After turning on my phone, I saw hundreds of missed calls pop up, most of which I didn't recognize.

Looks like I'll have to change my number again, otherwise I'll be harassed all the time.

It's already nine o'clock, and I still need to go to the tennis center to complete the national team procedures.

After completing some formalities, I was even invited to visit the national team.

After all, it's for preparing for next year's Olympics, so the training facilities at the stadium are really good.

"Old ginger!"

As Jiang Hong was being shown around the training area, someone suddenly shouted at him.

Jiang Hong stopped in his tracks. The voice sounded familiar; he only knew a few people from the national team. He turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.

When Sun Peng and Yu Xinyuan saw Jiang Hong during training, they immediately ran over to greet him.

I was pleasantly surprised by Jiang Hong's appearance.

"Old Sun, Old Yu!"

Jiang Hong greeted the two men with a smile. A few days ago, after they were eliminated, they had volunteered to be Jiang Hong's sparring partners for a few days.

Upon hearing this, Xie Hong, the head coach of the national men's team, smiled and said, "From now on, Xiao Jiang is also a member of our national team!"

He was in a good mood. The men's tennis team's performance had always been inferior to that of the women's team, and he, as the head coach of the national team, had always felt ashamed. However, the arrival of a powerful foreign player made him overjoyed.

The two were somewhat surprised to hear that Jiang Hong had joined the national team.

After all, Jiang Hong had been rejected when invited to join the national team before.

Given Jiang Hong's performance at the time, he could have joined the national team, but there would certainly have been no room for negotiation. It's estimated that even the competition schedule would have to be decided by the leaders of the national team.

Only after achieving results can one be qualified to negotiate terms.

It can be said that Jiang Hong was only a free agent temporarily recruited during the Olympic cycle.

"That's great! We can practice together again!" Yu Xinyuan was pleasantly surprised to hear that Jiang Hong had joined the national team.

Sun Peng was somewhat disappointed, since Jiang Hong's addition to the national team meant that the men's singles spots for next year's Olympics were basically decided.

Another reason why Yu Xinyuan is so optimistic is that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will play men's doubles!
Last night, Director Sun asked Jiang Hong if he was interested in trying doubles, but Jiang Hong refused without hesitation.

"I'm sorry, I probably won't be training with the national team as often after this. I need to go back to school first, otherwise it's not good for a student to skip classes all the time. After that, I'll adjust and see where I can participate in the competition!" Jiang Hong stated that he would not be training with the national team.

Subsequently, neither Xie Hong, Sun Peng, nor Yu Xinyuan could change Jiang Hong's mind.

Even if you can't control yourself, being watched all the time is still not a pleasant experience!

"Well, since that's the case, we won't try to persuade you anymore!" Xie Hong finally sighed.

Afterwards, Jiang Hong followed Sun Peng and Yu Xinyuan around the national team and even experienced the techniques of the national team's physiotherapists.

It must be said that the effect was indeed very good. After the massage, Jiang Hong felt much more relaxed.

Jiang Hong asked the other party for a business card, planning to try poaching him later.

Putting everything else aside, at least one physical therapist is very important to him.

If this were to happen in the future, even if you worked yourself to death, it would be incredibly difficult to recruit the right people for the national team.

However, this was still the era of quitting one's job and starting a business; as long as the pay was high enough, there wouldn't be any problems. After leaving the physiotherapy room, Yu Xinyuan raised his head and said boastfully.

"How about that? Not bad, right? Our tennis team's physiotherapist is very famous. Sometimes the track and field team even comes over, shamelessly trying to get freelance treatment from our physiotherapist."

"Not bad, not bad, really impressive!" Jiang Hong's eyes lit up even more instantly.

Yu Xinyuan had no idea that he had let a wolf into his house!

After wandering around for a while, Jiang Hong suggested leaving. After some persuasion, Jiang Hong left the tennis team.

Jiang Hong fled the taxi as if he were escaping; the driver was so talkative that Jiang Hong felt a headache coming on.

The organizing committee told me that I would have a week of free accommodation after the competition!

As expected of the China Open, they certainly have deep pockets.

However, Jiang Hong didn't intend to take advantage of this and planned to pack up and go home.

"Mr. Jiang, hello. What is your reaction to a certain singer's bold declaration of love for you?"

"Mr. Jiang, a certain director has expressed interest in casting you as the male lead. Would you accept the role?"

"Mr. Jiang..."

These reporters were making Jiang Hong's ears hurt from all the noise. What were they even talking about?!
Besides reporters and some online media, there was also a group of people in suits who looked like they were in business, waving business cards and talking.

Eventually, hotel security guards witnessed the scene and immediately rescued Jiang Hong.

It must be said that the security capabilities of five-star hotels are quite impressive.

After Jiang Hong entered the hotel, he saw two familiar people walking towards him.

"Congratulations Mr. Jiang Hong on winning the China Open!"

Jiang Hong saw the other person's face clearly and recognized him as Zhao Hui, the person in charge of Hyde.

"General Manager Zhao!"

Jiang Hong smiled and shook hands with the other party, after all, he had promised the other party before that he would listen to Hyde's cooperation plan after the competition.

“Mr. Jiang, I am the person in charge at Wilson…”

"Mr. Jiang, I am the person in charge of Lining..."

Just then, people from other brands rushed over.

After all, Jiang Hong's popularity has already skyrocketed, and if they don't take action soon, it would be a serious dereliction of duty.

Jiang Hong waved to the waiter next to him, "Hello, could you please arrange a meeting room for us?"

"Wait a moment, sir, I'll go ask the manager for you!"

"thanks!"

Jiang Hong turned to look at the heads of the other brands and then spoke.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. I will discuss this with each of you individually!"

Upon hearing this, the person in charge of Lining suddenly stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Jiang, our boss at Lining is also a famous athlete in my country, and he is committed to serving my country's sports cause and building a national brand. We hope to be the first to explain our philosophy and sponsorship to you."

Jiang Hong's lips twitched slightly. This national brand would certainly cause quite a stir in the future.

"I'm sorry, but before the semi-finals, I already promised Mr. Zhao from Hyde that I would discuss things with them, at least to ensure a first-come, first-served basis. But don't worry, I will seriously consider your terms!"
