Realistic animation, you call this tennis!

So even though they were very unhappy about Zhou Ran winning the championship, they could only temporarily hide their envy, jealousy and hatred and greet him with a smile.

Because they knew that Zhou Ran was destined to be extraordinary in the future.

After all, in this world, as long as you play tennis well, you will have wealth and status.

This can be seen from the 100 million championship prize that Zhou Ran received.

That’s 100 million!

Many people cannot save 100 million even after working for their entire lives, but Zhou Ran earned 100 million in just a few days.

This is enough to show how prominent Zhou Ran will be in the future.

Therefore, in order to be able to climb up Zhou Ran's high branch and gain as much advantage as possible from him in the future, they flattered Zhou Ran in various ways.

However, Zhao Qianguang and Zhou Ran’s father saw the change in the attitudes of the group members and knew exactly what these people were really thinking.

With a scornful smile on his face, he set the group message to do not disturb and put his phone in his pocket.

Even though the messages in the group were still flooding the screen like crazy, they still ignored them.

On the other side, Zhou Ran, who was in the hotel with his luggage preparing to leave for home, looked thoughtfully at the championship medal and the 100 million championship bonus that had just arrived in front of him.

He has only been here for a month or two, but his life has changed dramatically.

Before he traveled through time, his monthly salary was pitifully low. It was difficult for him to save even 100, let alone 10 million.

More importantly, what he is doing now is what he wants to do and he is very excited about it, so he likes his current life after traveling through time very much.

After flipping through the messages on his phone, he found that the high school tennis league was divided into city competitions and national competitions.

After the city competition, the national competition will be held in a few days.

At that time, the top four players from each city across the country will represent their city on the national stage to compete for the highest honor of the high school tennis league - the national championship.

Zhou Ran, who just won the championship, was extremely excited thinking about continuing to play games and facing increasingly powerful opponents from all over the country.

He hoped the national competition would start soon; he couldn't wait to compete against top players from other cities.

Chapter 44: Don’t look at your face! I don’t want to do that!

After Zhou Ran won the championship and the prize money and rushed home, his parents prepared a celebratory banquet for him.

After the meal, Zhou Ran did not hesitate at all and directly gave half of the bonus, which was 50 yuan, to his parents.

Although he did not have much communication with his parents in this world, he knew from the memories in his mind that they were a very responsible pair of parents.

And when everyone was pessimistic about his career in tennis, his parents were the ones who supported him the most.

Just based on this trust and support, he has sufficient reason to take out the 50.

Before crossing over, Zhou Ran's parents ignored him. Whenever he saw other families enjoying themselves, he would envy those who had their parents' love.

In this life, he finally has a pair of parents who love him, and of course he wants to cherish them.

More importantly, 50 may be a lot for ordinary people, but it is nothing to him now.

He easily earned 100 million just by winning the championship of a city competition. In the subsequent competitions, let alone 100 million, 1000 million or even million would be possible for him.

When he gave 50 yuan to his parents, they must have been excited but reluctant to accept it.

Zhou Ran didn't want to argue any further, so after saying a few words to get the point across, he returned to his room to rest.

The schedule of the past few days has been quite dense. Although he won every game easily, the continuous competition still made him physically and mentally exhausted. He now wants to have a good rest.

However, just as Zhou Ran lay down, he received a call from Zhao Qianguang.

He had been in contact with Zhao Qianguang for a long time and had some understanding of him, so when he heard Zhao Qianguang's voice on the other end of the phone sound a little dull, he knew that Zhao Qianguang must have encountered some difficulties.

Zhao Qianguang hesitated for a moment and said, "Zhou Ran, the director of our county education bureau wants to have dinner with you and me. It seems that he has something to discuss, probably related to the upcoming National High School Tennis League."

"Do you have time? How about... we go there?"

As expected, just as Zhou Ran realized that Zhao Qianguang had something to say, he heard Zhao Qianguang's slightly embarrassed tone.

When Zhou Ran heard Zhao Qianguang say that he was going to have dinner with the leaders of the Education Bureau, his first reaction was definitely that he didn't want to go.

He hated having dinner with his boss the most. His boss always liked to put on airs at the table, and that made him extremely unhappy.

But from Zhao Qianguang's embarrassed tone, Zhou Ran knew that if it was related to the upcoming National High School Tennis League, he would have to go even if he didn't want to.

"Okay, when and where, I'll be there."

Although he was very reluctant to go, Zhou Ran still replied to Zhao Qianguang in a very calm tone.

He has always been like this and doesn't want his inner thoughts to be easily discovered by others.

"Okay, I'll text you the time and place later. Just wait for me at home and I'll pick you up!"

When Zhao Qianguang heard Zhou Ran say that he could go, his embarrassed tone relaxed a little.

This matter really put him in a difficult position.

On one side is the leader of the county education bureau, and on the other side is Zhou Ran who just won the championship. He doesn't want to offend either side.

"No need, I can go by myself when the time comes!"

Zhou Ran didn't want to trouble Zhao Qianguang, so he asked Zhao Qianguang for the time and place and then hung up the phone.

Through the message sent by Zhao Qianguang, he knew that the dinner time would be tonight, and the location would be a slightly upscale restaurant in the center of the county town, not far away.

Qingyun County is just a small county town with a small area. It can be reached in about ten minutes by taxi.

Putting his cell phone on the bedside, Zhou Ran lay down on the bed and took a short rest.

When the agreed time was almost up, he simply packed up and took a taxi to the agreed hotel. Under the guidance of the relevant responsible personnel, he successfully arrived at the designated private room.

After opening the door, Zhao Qianguang and the director of the Qingyun County Education Bureau had been waiting for a long time.

Zhao Qianguang quickly introduced Zhou Ran and Guan Feng, the director of the Education Bureau, back and forth: "Zhou Ran, you're here!"

"Let me introduce you. This is Guan Feng, the director of the Qingyun County Education Bureau!"

"Director, this is Zhou Ran, who just won the Lincheng City High School Tennis League Championship this morning!"

Guan Feng laughed out loud: "I know him, I know him!"

"This is the first champion in the history of Qingyun County. How could I not recognize him?"

"Student Zhou Ran, please take a seat!"

"Waiter, the food is ready!"

It is said that leaders like to put on airs, but Guan Feng's enthusiastic attitude allowed Zhou Ran to slowly let go of his prejudice against the leader.

The slightly awkward atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.

Soon, the food was served and the three of them talked while eating.

At the beginning of the drinking party, Guan Feng almost exclusively praised Zhou Ran.

But Zhou Ran knew that Guan Feng definitely didn't come to this meal simply to praise him, he must have something to say.

Sure enough, after three rounds of drinks and half a meal, Guan Feng's expression gradually became serious and he began to speak to Zhou Ran.

"Student Zhou Ran, it's amazing that you were able to win the Lincheng City High School Tennis League Championship. You're truly a hero from a young age!"

"Also, as the Director of the Qingyun County Education Bureau, I've been diligent and dedicated over the past few years, and I've made a significant contribution to the development of tennis in our county!"

"To be honest, the end of this year is almost my promotion time. You see, I'm not young anymore, and there aren't many opportunities for promotion, so this opportunity is very important to me!"

"Student Zhou Ran, how about I arrange a TV interview with you in a few days? Your strength is certainly important, but the County Education Bureau's contribution to tennis cannot be underestimated either. Then, you can briefly praise our Education Bureau's work in tennis over the past few years in front of the reporters!"

"Also, the tennis-related funds for the three high schools in Qingyun County are usually provided by the Education Bureau. According to regulations, students must hand over a portion of their prize money to the Education Bureau!"

"So, this time, how about you take out 50 and hand it over to the Education Bureau as funds for the subsequent development of tennis in Qingyun County!"

"Don't worry, the County Education Bureau will return part of the 50 yuan you paid as a bonus!"

Guan Feng, under the influence of alcohol, said a lot to Zhou Ran like a seasoned wine table expert.

Zhou Ran was not a confused person. He knew what Guan Feng meant without thinking.

It’s simply that Guan Feng is facing promotion and wants to move up the ladder.

Zhou Ran happened to win the first championship in the history of Qingyun County. Guan Feng wanted to use Zhou Ran's championship as his own achievement to get a chance for promotion.

Whether it was saying something to the reporter in affirmation of Guan Feng's work during a TV interview, or handing over part of his bonus to the Education Bureau, these were all ways for Guan Feng to seek credit from his superiors.

Zhou Ran just gave his parents 50 yuan. If he had to hand over another 50 yuan, he would be left with nothing.

He definitely didn't want to lose all the 100 million he had just earned.

And even if Zhou Ran didn't give his parents 50 yuan, he would never hand it over to the Education Bureau.

He was even unwilling to cooperate with Guan Feng in saying something to praise Guan Feng's work in front of reporters.

If there is, there is, if there is not, there is not.

Although Zhou Ran had just traveled through time, he had not stayed in No. 2 Middle School for long.

But he also knew that in the past few years, No. 2 Middle School had never received any support from the County Education Bureau.

Before the competition, the staff of the Education Bureau simply abandoned No. 2 Middle School and simply took the students from No. 1 Middle School and the Experimental School to the competition venue by bus.

No. 2 Middle School is so despised by the Education Bureau. If Zhou Ran still wants to speak well of the Education Bureau, then he would be too despicable.

Before traveling through time, Zhou Ran was just a nobody who needed to be cautious all the time, observe people's expressions, and flatter others, otherwise he might not even be able to earn a pitiful few thousand yuan every month.

He had long since had enough of that state of life.

Now he has traveled through time and lived a new life, and has also awakened a powerful system.

He doesn't need to care about anyone's face now.

So when Guan Feng finished speaking, Zhou Ran only thought about it for a moment, without much hesitation, and quickly said calmly: "Sorry, I don't want to do that!"

Chapter 45: Changing cities! Magic City!

Although Zhou Ran's words were rather euphemistic, as he was able to become the director of the county education bureau, Guan Feng could obviously quickly understand Zhou Ran's deeper meaning.

There is no doubt that Zhou Ran's answer just now directly rejected Guan Feng's request.
