Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 30 Specialized Training for Small Balls (Please continue reading)

The next morning!
"By the way, Orange, starting today I have to go to the tennis club to practice. Will you still have time to be my assistant then?" Jiang Hong asked.

"A club?" Su Cheng was taken aback, clearly not expecting it.

“That’s right!” Jiang Hong nodded.

He then explained that he needed an automatic ball-serving machine for his subsequent training.

"Oh, I see!" Su Cheng nodded, finally understanding.

Jiang Hong was already prepared; if Su Cheng was unwilling, he could always find someone else later.

“So…” Su Cheng lowered her head and murmured softly.

Jiang Hong thought Su Cheng was just too embarrassed to refuse, so he was about to say something to reassure her.

But he hadn't said it yet.

Su Cheng suddenly raised her head and glared angrily at Jiang Hong.

"So, you're not planning to fire me, are you?"

Jiang Hong was taken aback for a moment, then noticed the smile in Su Cheng's eyes.

I knew Su Cheng was just pretending to be that way to fool me!

Jiang Hong decided to play along, saying, "After all, Chengzi, your salary is too high. Even the richest families don't have enough to eat!"

"Hmph! You're too late now. I won't resign until you give up practicing, unless you fire me, in which case you'll have to pay compensation!" Su Cheng raised her head, pretending to be smug.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"It seems we can't fire you then, so we'll have to reluctantly continue employing you!"

……

"Excuse me, boss, I'm sorry to bother you!"

Jiang Hong looked at the enthusiastic boss in front of him and said with a smile.

"What are you saying? It's an honor for our tennis club to have a player like you. If you hadn't called, I would have been thinking of inviting you over sometime."

Opening a tennis club is not very profitable.

He started this club mainly because he loves tennis.

Chen Pengcheng, a tennis fan, was indeed very happy about Jiang Hong's arrival.

After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Hong got down to business.

"After this competition, I realized that I have some significant flaws in my technique, so I would like to use the ball-serving machine to practice. Mr. Chen, is that convenient for you?"

"What's inconvenient about that? Feel free to use the equipment in the club. And don't call me General Manager Chen, just call me Old Chen!" Chen Pengcheng patted his chest and said with a hearty expression.

Jiang Hong didn't stand on ceremony any longer. "Brother Chen, how much is the fee calculated? I'll settle the bill with you later."

"You've already called me 'brother,' how could I possibly ask you for money? Besides, you're a lifetime member of our club, which is free!" Chen Pengcheng frowned, pretending to be unhappy.
"No, no, after all, I'm not just here for one training session. I'll be training for quite a while. If that's what you're saying, then I'll have to find another club!" Jiang Hong insisted.

He knew that what's free is often the most expensive.

Even if Chen Pengcheng had no ulterior motives, Jiang Hong understood the principle of being obligated to help someone who has eaten his food.

Taking advantage of others will make you feel inferior to them.

Jiang Hong had no intention of saving such a small amount of money.

Seeing Jiang Hong's resolute expression, Chen Pengcheng had no choice.

After some initial refusal, he had no choice but to accept Jiang Hong's payment for renting the ball-serving machine.

After seeing Chen Pengcheng off, Jiang Hong's training could finally begin.

After a simple warm-up, Jiang Hong first did his usual serving practice.

Only then did we begin training with smaller balls.

"Orange, just stand on the other side of the net and place the ball randomly!" Jiang Hong instructed.

"no problem!"

Su Cheng nodded, indicating that she understood.

Jiang Hong stood at the baseline, while Su Cheng began to toss the ball.

Suddenly, Su Cheng let go, and Jiang Hong immediately rushed towards the net!

Putting everything else aside, Jiang Hong's speed is absolutely unquestionable! "Bang!"

He flicked the ball over the net before it bounced twice.

[Receiving short serves: 1/1000]

Jiang Hong looked up and glanced at the landing point of the tennis ball.

To be honest, the shot placement wasn't great; if the opponent was prepared, they could definitely return the ball.

However, he was not discouraged, after all, he had just started practicing.

Through his dedicated training, his ball receiving and receiving skills can reach an absolutely amazing level.

Jiang Hong returned to the baseline position, and Su Cheng unexpectedly let go again.

However, because her throw was placed in a rather tricky spot, Jiang Hong tried her best to save the ball but failed.

A hint of annoyance flashed across his face.

Su Cheng noticed Jiang Hong's expression, so she quickly said, "Jiang Hong, how about I just toss the ball to a fixed position?"

Jiang Hong immediately understood Su Cheng's meaning and raised his head to speak firmly.

"Need not!"

If you're always trying to cheat or slack off during training, even if you become a great player later on.

On the field, they will also suffer the consequences of their own actions.

This time, Jiang Hong threw the ball directly to the outer corner of the second zone, which was only about 40 centimeters from the net.

Jiang Hong was able to focus his mind on the small ball.

He slashed backhand with a side chop!

[Receiving short serves: 5/1000]

Jiang Hong was stunned for a moment. How did it suddenly jump from 1 to 5?

"Could it be that panel calculations also change based on the completion rate of training?"

"Will the panel react if I exceed the training requirements?"

It seems the system is quite intelligent!

Jiang Hong was on the court, constantly chasing the landing point of the tennis ball.

Although the tennis court was air-conditioned, Jiang Hong's clothes were completely soaked with sweat.

It took Jiang Hongcai more than two hours to complete the ball receiving and serving task.

[Ding! Mission complete. Claim reward?]

"receive!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Hong immediately added the technical points to the small ball.

[Net Front: 31→33]

Jiang Hong immediately realized that he had made some minor mistakes when handling the ball, and if he could do it again, he would be able to handle it better!

This feeling of reaping what you sow constantly motivates Jiang Hong to continue training.

Add to that the facilities, which are so much more comfortable than the school, and Jiang Hong was even a little reluctant to leave!
"Jiang Hong, shall we continue?"

Suddenly, Su Cheng's voice interrupted Jiang Hong's excitement.

Jiang Hong glanced at the time and said, "It's almost twelve o'clock, let's go eat first!"

"We're so tired this morning. If the boss isn't going to give us a raise, he can't skimp on our meals!" Su Cheng winked and teased.

Don't worry, you definitely won't go hungry!

Jiang Hong went to the changing room to take a shower.

The two left the tennis court and found a restaurant nearby where they ate something simple.

After buying a few more bottles of water, the two of them returned to the tennis court.

However, they didn't rush to continue training, but rested for a while first.

After all, if he did high-intensity exercise right after eating, Jiang Hong was worried that he would turn into a jetpack warrior.

Wouldn't that ruin my lifelong reputation?
