It’s hot in the summer and the air still feels a bit stuffy after nightfall. The wind blowing from the sea is a little cool, but Bai Ze just wants to stay in the hotel room and enjoy the air conditioning.

"Don't you feel something is missing with the air-conditioning?" Jiang Bei saw him like this and imagined the miserable scene of being stranded on a desert island for six years, exposed to the wind and sun, weathered by the weather, without a mobile phone or computer, how painful it must be.

"What?" Bai Ze responded.

"Are you sure you don't want to go out for a walk and buy a new phone?" Jiang Bei took a sip of water, as if he was planning to go out for a walk.

"Oh yes, buying a mobile phone, it took me a while to get used to it, I have long been accustomed to the primitive life without a mobile phone." No wonder Bai Ze always felt that something was missing in his hands after coming back. After Jiang Bei reminded him, he realized it belatedly.

Having said that, he went out shopping.

It's a good opportunity to experience the customs and culture of Hawaii.

When boys go shopping, they basically go straight to the destination. For example, if they want to buy a mobile phone, they will definitely choose the official flagship store of the mobile phone brand.

Don’t ask who pays the bill, it’s Jiangbei.

Jiang Bei told me that his grandmother died of depression two years ago, and his only relative now is his uncle. The Bai Group is now managed by his uncle, which was also his grandmother's last wish before she died.

Only my uncle knows what was entrusted specifically.

Just when he was taking a shower, Jiang Bei followed Bai Ze's instructions and found a way to contact his uncle in China to convey the good news.

The next morning, there was a knock on the door, but Bai Ze and Jiang Bei were still sleeping soundly. Maybe it was because they played with their phones too late the night before, so even though they were woken up by the knock on the door, they were too lazy to get up from the bed and open the door.

"Go and drive!" Bai Ze was half asleep and half awake.

"I can't get up, you should go." Jiang Bei pulled the hijab.

"Why are you so lazy?" Bai Ze yawned.

"Then you go!" Jiang Bei fell silent.

Sigh, why are you knocking on the door so early in the morning? It's only eight o'clock. Even if it's to deliver breakfast, there's no need to make such a big noise. It's obvious that he's here to collect debts.

After thinking about it, Bai Ze rubbed his sleepy eyes, got out of bed, put on his slippers, walked over slowly to take off the chain, and then turned the door handle.

With a creak, the door opened.

Before Bai Ze could see who was coming, he was hugged by a fierce bear. He almost vomited blood. The force was so strong. It was too sudden. If the other party hadn't called him by his nickname, he would have hit him.

"Ozawa, is it really you? It's great that you're still alive..." This man had neat short hair, was handsome and elegant, and exuded a military temperament in his every move.

But even such a tough guy couldn't help but shed tears and felt heartbroken the moment he hugged Bai Ze.

His name is Lin Tao, and he is Bai Ze’s uncle.

He had been a soldier in his early years and was an all-powerful special forces model. If the situation had not changed, he would probably continue to stay in the army and win glory for the country.

However, the turning point of everything came from the accident of the plane losing contact six years ago. After learning the bad news, Lin Tao applied for leave from the army and followed the international search team to find the whereabouts of his brother-in-law and his family of three.

The search lasted for more than half a year, but in the end nothing was found and the search plan was gradually shelved. Countries around the world believed that there was little hope and there was no need to waste a lot of manpower and material resources to continue.

Sadness hangs over the hearts of everyone who has lost a loved one, but they will never give up hope as long as the wreckage of the plane is not found.

But what can they do?

As time goes by, the search plan is gradually shelved and hope becomes slimmer. No results are the most terrifying news, and the endless wait is the most torturous process in the world.

Later, Lin Tao chose to retire.

There is a reason for retirement.

Because the Bai Group needed someone to take over the management, and Grandma Bai Ze's health was deteriorating. She was worried and depressed all day long, and could not get over the disappearance of her son, daughter-in-law and grandson. She could not bear this heavy burden at all.

In desperation, Grandma Bai Ze had to beg Lin Tao to serve as the top person in charge of the entire Bai Group. If one day she was gone, at least Lin Tao would continue to look for the whereabouts of his son, daughter-in-law and grandson, and wait for their return.

During these six years, Lin Tao went from being a special forces model soldier to a big shot in the business world, and he made the Bai Group flourish and become well-established.

of course……

This is inseparable from the strong support of Grandma Bai Ze.

You have to know that this journey has not been easy. As the saying goes, business is like a battlefield. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.

Without the support of the military spirit.

I'm afraid Lin Tao will let Grandma Bai Ze down.

"Uncle, why did you come here suddenly?"

Bai Ze looked at Lin Tao and suddenly discovered that his weathered face had several deep wrinkles. He looked a little haggard from the man he remembered. He no longer had the vigor, passion and ambition he had in the past.

Despite working in the business world for so many years, he still maintains a military style and his clothes look very simple and comfortable.

"Of course I'm here to pick you up!"

Just such a simple sentence pierced Bai Ze's heart, and reminded Bai Ze of his uncle who loved him very much in his previous life.

This made Bai Ze doubt the existence of fate.

It turns out that fate is so wonderful.

In my previous life, he was my uncle.

In another parallel world, he is still my uncle.

"I don't have an ID card, visa or passport, so I probably can't get on the plane, right?" Bai Ze scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll take you to the consulate to redo the process later." Lin Tao learned from Jiang Bei last night that his sister and brother-in-law had died. Bai Ze was the only survivor on the plane. He also knew that Bai Ze had buried his sister and brother-in-law on an uninhabited island, so he had a rough idea of ​​what was going on and there was no need to say anything else for now.

"Uncle, please come in and sit down and have a drink of water!" Bai Ze stared at Lin Tao. He couldn't help but think of his uncle from his previous life. He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"I haven't seen you for so many years. You have grown up and grown taller. You are already an adult young man. It's time to learn how to manage the business and inherit the family business when you go back. Don't worry, I will teach you until you can take charge of the entire Bai Group and fulfill the last wish entrusted to me by your grandma."

Lin Tao strode into the room, sat down next to the bed, looked at Bai Ze lovingly, and said, "Well, he is very handsome, but his skin is a little tanned. If he takes care of it, it will become fair and clean after a while. He won't have trouble finding a girlfriend."

what……

Why the sudden change of style?

This caught Bai Ze off guard.

The elders' way of thinking is really printed in the same mold. They kept talking about inheriting the family business and having a girlfriend. We have just reunited, where has the joy of reunion gone?

This is good, the sense of distance arises spontaneously.

"Wait, let me make it clear first, my goal is to be a professional trainer, and I don't have any other ideas for the time being." Bai Ze frowned and immediately interrupted Lin Tao's perfect arrangement.

"So you mean you don't want to inherit the family business?" Lin Tao was not surprised at all, as if he had already guessed it.

"That's right!" Bai Ze answered straightforwardly.

"How about this? We agree on a deadline. If you don't win the National League Conference championship within five years, you have to come back and inherit the family business. How about that?" Lin Tao seemed to be well prepared and smiled meaningfully.

"Are you talking about the conference champion?" Bai Ze needed to confirm. After all, the conference champion was different from the league champion. The former was okay, but the latter was very difficult.

"Yes!" Lin Tao responded readily.

"Okay then, it's a deal." Bai Ze couldn't ask for more.

Chapter 12 Mutual Apologies

It seems that Bai Ze and Lin Tao have reached a consensus.

Jiang Bei couldn't help but interrupt: "Pay attention to the question, uncle is talking about the national league championship, that is, the conference champion, not the conference champion."

Obviously, there is only one letter difference between these two honors.

The specific difference lies in one word.

Every year, the National League Conference has only one conference champion, but there are eight conference champions. Unless there are exceptions, the conference champion generally refers to the champion of the regional league conference. China has exactly eight regions, such as South China, East China, North China, etc.

There is a big difference between a conference champion and a conference champion.

First, the value of the National Alliance Conference and the Regional Alliance Conference is different, which makes it easy to judge the difference.

Second, in fact, as long as you win the conference championship, you will be the fifth king of a region, and the conference championship is just a stepping stone to the Champions League.

If you only win the regional league championship, there is no need to be discouraged, because you have the opportunity to participate in the preliminary stage of the Champions League and challenge the conference champions of various regions, including the seven conference champions of the same session and the champions of previous sessions. The final winner can rightfully ascend to the top and be promoted to one of the Four Heavenly Kings, which is quite difficult.

However, the champion of the National League Conference does not need to participate in the preliminary stage of the Champions League, and is already the fifth king of a region.

In other words.

The tournament champion is equivalent to the Four Heavenly Kings.

The title of the Four Heavenly Kings is below the regional league champions. Every region has one. Above that is the regional league champion. There is no such thing as the national Four Heavenly Kings.

As for the league champions, unlike the Four Heavenly Kings, they are divided into regional league champions, national league champions and world league champions. For new trainers, the immediate goal only needs to be temporarily placed on the Four Heavenly Kings and regional league champions.

Wait until you become one of the Four Heavenly Kings and the regional league champion.

It’s not too late to consider what happens next.

Hearing Jiang Bei say this, Bai Ze picked up the phone on the bedside table, opened the browser and searched for relevant information. Only then did he realize that the conference champion is one level higher than the conference champion.

"Uncle, you tricked me!"

"No, Xiaobei, hear me clearly. I meant the national league championship. You just took it out of context and interpreted it as the conference championship." Lin Tao refused to take the blame.

"The champion of the National League Conference is actually equivalent to the fifth king, which means that one has to become a king-level trainer within five years?" Although Bai Ze seemed to be panicking on the surface, he was actually as calm as a dog. To be honest, he still had a little confidence, otherwise he would be unworthy of his identity as a time traveler.

"If you find it difficult, you can give up." Lin Tao added.

"How do you know it won't work if you don't try? It's too early to say that you give up! Even if you can't win the National League Championship, you can participate in the preliminary stage of the Champions League if you win the Regional League Championship. As long as you win the preliminary stage of the Champions League, you can also become a king, which is essentially no different from winning the National League Championship." Bai Ze quickly sorted out his thoughts.

"That's right, there are two routes here. One is direct, and the other requires a transfer in the middle before you can reach your destination." Jiang Bei echoed.

"Uncle, what do you think?" Bai Ze turned his head.

"What else can I say? No matter which path you take, if you don't work hard, you will have to come back and inherit the family business. The Bai Group will be handed over to you sooner or later anyway. It's just a matter of time." Lin Tao was quite calm, his eyes full of doting.

"Ah, this?" Bai Ze reacted.

"When you become a professional trainer and enter middle age, the family business will be handed over to you. You have to know that your uncle will also grow old one day, but before that, pursue your dream well!" Lin Tao said what was in his heart. After all, he didn't want Bai Ze to plunge into the quagmire of the business world too early.

"Don't say such unlucky words." Bai Ze didn't dare to imagine something that happened so long ago. Suddenly, he had an idea and deliberately changed the subject, "Uncle, are you here alone? Why don't you see my aunt?"

"What……"

Lin Tao just took a sip of boiled water.

As a result, it all came out.

Hahaha, you turned the tables. Knowing that your uncle is not married yet, you actually used the issue of marriage to make the elders feel embarrassed. This is quite a clever move. You are amazing, Bai Ze Beast!

Jiang Bei held his stomach and laughed so hard that he fell over.

"Just take revenge on me. Revenge on me for telling you to have a girlfriend." Lin Tao quickly stood up and tore two tissues to wipe the corners of his mouth. The reason why he has not yet started a family is because his sister, brother-in-law and nephew are missing. In addition to managing the Bai Group all day, he has to send a large number of people to search for them. He dare not relax for a moment, so how can he have time to fall in love, let alone start a family.

People always talk about starting a family and a career.

For uncle.

The karma is established, but the family is gone.

Hearing this, Bai Ze shook his head and smiled: "No... It's not revenge. I know that my uncle has had a hard time these years, and his dream of becoming a soldier has been shattered. Now that I'm back, you should also consider your own lifelong affairs."

Lin Tao raised his hand helplessly, patted Bai Ze on the shoulder, and teased in a half-joking tone: "You kid, take care of yourself first!"

"How about I help you find an aunt later?"

"You don't need to worry about it, little brat."

Watching the uncle and nephew chatting happily, Jiang Bei seemed to go back to six years ago, when everything was normal, but when he came to his senses, many things had changed.

Lin Tao has changed.

Bai Ze seemed to have changed as well.

The most direct feeling is that Bai Ze's personality has changed a bit obviously. He is not as funny as before, nor as heartless as Tiehan. He seems to be much colder, more mature, and more indifferent. Sometimes he doesn't look like the mental state that an eighteen-year-old should have.

Someone may ask.

What is the mental state of an eighteen-year-old?

Well, the mental state of an eighteen-year-old should be full of vitality, full of positive energy, full of youthfulness, ignorant of the sufferings of the world, and wanting to try everything. Of course, there are dreams and confusions, but one will still live a brilliant life like the rising sun.

However, Jiang Bei changed his mind and thought about what Bai Ze had experienced in the past six years... How much growth price must he have paid to go through so many misfortunes beyond his imagination and even beyond his age?

Can you expect him to be as energetic as an 18-year-old teenager? Obviously this is impossible. He has experienced all the sufferings and despairs of the world.

"Why are you staring at me?"

Bai Ze noticed Jiang Bei and subconsciously touched his face.
