Realistic animation, you call this tennis!

When Guan Feng heard that Zhou Ran actually rejected his request, he was stunned at first.

Then, a professional smile appeared on his face again.

"Haha, classmate Zhou Ran, I'm sure you feel that handing over 50 yuan at once is a bit too much. How about this? You pay 20 yuan this time, and then pay the remaining 30 yuan in installments later. What do you think?"

Although Guan Feng could hear that Zhou Ran had just rejected his request, he still found it hard to believe that a student would dare to reject him, the director of the county education bureau, in person.

So after a moment's thought, he concluded that Zhou Ran hadn't rejected him outright, but rather felt that 50 yuan was too much to pay in one sitting, so he suggested the idea of ​​paying in installments.

"Director Guan Feng, I think you have some misunderstandings."

"When I say I don't want to do that, I mean not only do I not want to hand over any money, I also don't want to do any TV interviews as you ask!"

Since he had already planned to refuse, Zhou Ran didn't want to hide it and spoke directly to Guan Feng.

The atmosphere in the private room suddenly turned cold.

Zhou Ran and Guan Feng remained silent, while Zhao Qianguang next to them had an anxious look on his face.

He kept winking at Zhou Ran, but because Guan Feng was present, he couldn't say what he wanted to say directly.

"Um... Mr. Zhou Ran, as you probably know, there's only less than a week left until the National High School Tennis Tournament, so time is pretty tight!"

"I think we should finish what needs to be done quickly so that I can submit your 800 entry information to the higher authorities!"

"Otherwise, if you delay submitting your materials and affect your participation in the competition, it will be more trouble than it's worth!"

When he said this, Guan Feng's tone turned cold and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Threat!

This is a naked threat!

Zhou Ran knew that the meaning of Guan Feng's words was very clear. If he did not pay the money and did not cooperate with the reporter's interview, Guan Feng would fail his information review for various reasons, resulting in him being unable to participate in the upcoming National High School Tennis Tournament.

As expected, all leaders are bad!

The enthusiasm when we first met was all fake. Once the goal was not achieved, the fox's tail would be exposed.

But the same thing goes, if Zhou Ran is just an ordinary person at the bottom of society, he has no reason or qualifications to refuse the threat from his leader.

But now, he has every right to refuse!

If he disagreed with Guan Feng's request, at most he would not be able to participate in the next National High School Tennis Tournament, but it did not mean that he would not be able to participate in any tennis competition.

Over the past period of time, Zhou Ran learned that if he wanted to become a professional tennis player, he could participate in competitions as a student, or he could use his identity as a member of society to participate in some social competitions, and continuously gain points in the competitions, and he could also become a professional tennis player.

However, it is quite difficult to become a professional tennis player by participating in social tennis competitions.

Because the strength of amateur tennis players is relatively strong, it is difficult to win the game.

The prize money for some non-professional competitions of a social nature is relatively low, and it can even be said that it is far lower than the prize money for participating in the competition as a student.

Moreover, there are fewer social events than (aecc). Combined with various factors, it is much more difficult to become a professional tennis player by participating in tennis competitions as a member of society than as a student.

But these are also unimportant to Zhou Ran.

The most important thing for him now is to have competitions to participate in. As for the strength of the opponents, he doesn’t care too much.

After all, in front of his special moves, even the most powerful opponent will be vulnerable.

This is also the reason why Zhou Ran dared to directly reject Guan Feng.

"Director Guan Feng, please stop talking. I've always been like this. I won't change my decision!"

"I'm full, please help yourself!"

Zhou Ran didn't want to have any more communication with Guan Feng. After a few simple instructions, he turned around and walked out of the private room.

Only Guan Feng, who was confused and gradually angry, and Zhao Qianguang, who was very anxious at this moment, were left.

Zhao Qianguang didn't expect things to turn out like this, and was a little at a loss for a moment.

He first apologized to Guan Feng, then quickly went out and caught up with Zhou Ran.

"Hey, Zhou Ran, slow down!"

"I feel like you don't have to agree with everything the director said, but there's room for discussion!"

"I know you don't want to do this, but participating in the upcoming National High School Tennis Tournament is the top priority!"

Zhao Qianguang knew that Zhou Ran’s rejection of Guan Feng meant that it would be difficult for Zhou Ran to represent Lincheng City in the national competition.

It would be something Zhao Qianguang would not want to see if such a strong player like Zhou Ran missed the next national competition, so he tried his best to persuade Zhou Ran.

In Zhao Qianguang's opinion, although Guan Feng was wrong in what he did, it was still difficult for Zhou Ran, a student, to go against the director of the county education bureau.

So he wanted Zhou Ran to agree to Guan Feng's excessive demands first, and then settle the score with him when he had the ability in the future.

However, Zhou Ran ignored what Zhao Qianguang said.

Now he will never look at anyone's face again, nor will he do anything he doesn't want to do.

If he still suffers injustice now, then hasn't he traveled through time in vain?

Seeing the expression of resolute rejection on Zhou Ran's face, Zhao Qianguang knew that it would be completely useless to persuade Zhou Ran to agree to Guan Feng's request.

After a brief hesitation, he turned to Zhou Ran and said, "Zhou Ran, if you have decided to firmly disagree with Guan Feng's request, then I think you will definitely not be able to represent Lincheng City in the national competition!"

"But there is a way to solve this problem. I have a method that will allow you to continue to participate in the national competition. I wonder if you are willing to do so?"

"The list of participating students for the national competition is provided by the local education bureau. So, with a little manipulation by the local education bureau, even contestants who didn't make the top four in their city will still have the opportunity to participate. So you can try to represent other cities in the next national competition."

Zhao Qianguang quickly expressed his thoughts.

"Ok?"

What Zhao Qianguang said made Zhou Ran's eyes light up.

This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

He thought that only the top four players were eligible to participate in the national competition, but he didn't expect there was such an unspoken rule.

If Zhou Ran could participate in the National High School Tennis Tournament, he would definitely participate.

After all, participating in competitions as a student is the fastest way for him to become a professional tennis player.

"Then which city can I represent?"

Zhou Ran asked tentatively.

"It certainly won't work in an ordinary city!"

Zhao Qianguang told Zhou Ran everything he knew.

"The tennis level in most cities is low. Roughly kicking out one of the top four players and replacing them with another is too conspicuous and would easily be noticed by higher authorities. That's why only big cities can do this!"

"The players from big cities are generally very strong. Besides the top four, there will be many other strong players. This way, even if one of the top four is temporarily replaced, it won't easily arouse suspicion when another one is brought in to replace him!"

"After all, the National Competition isn't just a student competition; it's also a competition for every city to fight for their own honor. So every city wants to send their strongest players to participate in the National Competition!"

"I happen to know someone in charge of the Education Bureau of Demon City. If you're willing, I'll go talk to him. Perhaps you can represent Demon City in the competition!"

After hearing what Zhao Qianguang said, Zhou Ran's eyes lit up.

Representing Demon City in the competition is no small matter.

You know, the strongest tennis teams in the entire Dragon Country are the Imperial Capital and the Magic City.

For a city like this with top tennis skills, Zhou Ran really found it hard to imagine how to kick out one of the top four players and let him take his place.

However, Zhao Qianguang quickly answered his question: "In big cities, it is indeed possible to change students so that they are less likely to be suspected, but it is also very difficult!"

"The way to replace players is very simple and crude, that is through competition!"

"Zhou Ran, you must defeat two of the top four contestants before you can represent Magic City in the competition!"

"Because if you only beat one of them, it only means that you are slightly stronger than one of the top four players!"

"If a temporary player replacement is discovered, the consequences will be high. Therefore, you must prove your extraordinary strength. Replacing one of the top four players will definitely help Magic City achieve better results in the national competition!"

"So, you really want to do this?"

After Zhao Qianguang finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Ran with a slightly heavy look.

As the top city in the country for tennis, the strength of the top four players in Magic City is far beyond the reach of ordinary small cities like Lincheng City.

It is extremely difficult for Zhou Ran to defeat two of the top four in Demon City.

Even though Zhao Qianguang thought Zhou Ran was very powerful, he was not sure that Zhou Ran could do it.

"Okay, President, please contact the staff of the Magic City Education Bureau. I will defeat two of the top four contestants in the competition and then represent Magic City in the upcoming national competition!"

Zhou Ran has been worried about not having any games to play these days. His hands are itching to play, and of course he is unwilling to give up the opportunity to stand on the court.

And when he heard that he could only represent Magic City in the competition if he defeated two of the top four players, he had no reason to refuse.

Of course, he also knew that the strength of the top four contestants in Demon City must be very strong.

But he has always sought to compete against stronger players.

So Zhou Ran agreed with Zhao Qianguang's statement without hesitation so that he could continue to participate in the national competition and compete with stronger tennis players.

Next, he would compete in the national competition as a contestant from Magic City.

Chapter 46 The challenge begins!

After Zhou Ran confirmed with Zhao Qianguang that he really wanted to represent Demon City in the national competition.

Zhao Qianguang was surprised at first, then he nodded heavily to Zhou Ran, indicating that he would do as Zhou Ran said and communicate with the relevant person in charge of the Demon City Education Bureau whom he knew.

Then, through a little bit of operation, Zhou Ran was able to successfully represent the Magic City in the competition.

After parting with Zhou Ran, Zhao Qianguang felt very complicated.

When he received a call from Guan Feng, the director of the County Education Bureau, asking him to have a meal with Zhou Ran, he did not expect things to develop into what they are now.

He originally had a beautiful idea that Zhou Ran would become the first city champion in the history of Qingyun County.

Next, you just need to represent Lincheng City in the national competition.

Everything was supposed to go smoothly, but now something unexpected has happened. Zhou Ran might have to represent Magic City in the competition.

The difficulty is too great. If Zhou Ran fails in challenging the representative player of Demon City, it will mean that Zhou Ran will have no chance to participate in the next national competition.

In Zhao Qianguang's opinion, even if Zhou Ran could enter the national competition, he did not expect Zhou Ran to win the final championship.
