PS: Today we will continue to update 5000 words. Readers, please don’t say that it is getting shorter and shorter!I looked at the recommendations in the same period, and most of them were 4000 words long!

……

Chen Ran and Xue Peng, the representative of IMG Company, chatted in detail for a while.

The other party obviously also knew that Chen Ran did not have a coach yet, and had experienced a "coach change" incident not long ago.

"Do you need the company to arrange a coach for you?" So Xue Peng asked with some concern.

Chen Ran looked hesitant and thinking at first, then shook his head decisively.

"Coach, forget it first. I will continue to train according to the previous plan. However... you can arrange a physical coach and a sparring partner for me."

"Okay." Xue Peng immediately nodded and said that the company would take care of it.

It is indeed the responsibility of the agency to solve the problems of the coaching team for the players.

Xue Peng also promised that IMG would help Chen Ran bear the first-year salary of the sparring partner and physical coach, as well as the one-year salary of future coaches.

This is the company's sincerity towards Chen Ran.

Xue Peng even had a premonition that because of the young man in front of him, there would be a tennis craze in China.

After the IMG representative left, Chen Ran sat alone in the library for a while.

Wild card for ATP New Zealand Auckland 250!

Just thinking about it makes me a little excited!
Unexpectedly, I would land on the tour much earlier than originally expected.

First the ATP250 tournament, and then the Australian Open, one of the four Grand Slams, gave Chen Ran a relatively consistent and complete Oceania season, and it was also his first time competing abroad.

It seems that he has to take a long leave from school again, because Chen Ran doesn't want to take a break from school. If he takes a break from school, he will have to repeat the grade. He can only take long leave again and again, and then go through the process during the final exam. (This is necessary. In the past, many national football and men’s basketball players just showed up for the final exam)

At this time, a person quietly stuck his head out from the door and walked in quietly. It was Chen Ran's nominal roommate Sun Kai.

The guy looked around for a while, then walked to Chen Ran's side with a smile.

"Big star, are those people gone?"

"Let's go. They have to go back and report to work. I can't even leave them to eat."

"Hey, you can treat me to a meal."

"I'll pay for the Lanzhou Ramen at the door, but I won't go." Chen Ran said angrily.

Sun Kai didn't notice anything, and sat down directly opposite Chen Ran: "Last time in Magic City, I also cheered for you, but the stand was far away."

"After you won the championship, so many people gathered around you, and I couldn't stand it."

Chen Ran asked curiously: "What on earth were you doing when you went to the Magic City in a mysterious way?"

"Stop talking, we can't bear to look back on the past..." Sun Kai squirmed a little and grabbed his hair in pain.

But this guy seemed to want to find someone to talk to, and said to himself: "I went to Shanghai mainly to meet female netizens."

Chen Ran suddenly realized.

During the early days of the Internet, it often happened that two netizens who were chatting happily would travel thousands of miles just to meet (and have sex), which was considered a trend of this era.

Similarly, the Internet term "die in the light" also became popular on the Internet in this era.

Sun Kai continued talking sadly, seeming to be recalling a "painful" experience.

"After I arrived in Magic City, the other party broke the appointment and kept finding reasons not to come out to see me. I waited for several days, and finally the other party couldn't stand it anymore and finally came out. The result..."

"The other person doesn't look good?"

"This female netizen turned out to be a man! She also said that she deliberately dressed up as a woman to tease me, but she didn't expect that I would actually come to Shanghai!"

"It turns out to be a shemale!" Chen Ran was also amused. In fact, Sun Kai was not the only one who was deceived by netizens in this era.

"What is a shemale?"

Shemale is a unified term for those men who dress up as women on the Internet, but the term did not seem to be popular in 2002.

"Nothing..." Chen Ran changed the topic, "You are actually quite lucky, at least the other party is not a fraud gang."

"Hey, I originally wanted to bring a female netizen to cheer you up." Sun Kai patted his forehead helplessly.

He had already planned it. He pointed at Chen Ran and told the female netizen that this tennis star was his buddy and roommate.Then that night everything fell into place, and I understood everything, but I didn't expect this result.

After finally finding someone to talk to, Sun Kai felt much better and finally thought of business.

"By the way, Chen Ran..." Sun Kai lowered his voice a little and said mysteriously, "I mentioned you to my dad and said you were my good buddy. My dad wants you to give When his company handed over the building and cut the ribbon, he stood on the platform."

"Huh?" Chen Ran, who was a little lazy at first, suddenly became more awake.

Sun Kai's father's real estate company is currently ranked among the top three in Dongzhou City, a third-tier county.

As for why 20 years later, the capital chain was broken and the credit report was on?
The first is that the overall environment is not very good.

The second is that many real estate companies in this era have regional attributes.

For example, the owners of many real estate companies in Dongzhou City are locals and have inextricable connections with the government.

After more than ten years, some large national real estate companies have entered third- and fourth-tier cities, and these local real estate companies have basically been unable to withstand the situation.

But to be honest, the basic quality of the houses built by many local real estate companies is passable.As for those national giant real estate companies such as Dafa, Guiyuan, etc., the quality of the houses they build is worse than the last. It is simply terrible. (At least this is the case in the city where I live. There are countless people who have been cheated.)
Seeing that Chen Ran didn't reply, Sun Kai became a little anxious and continued: "I told my dad that you are the world champion! Don't worry, your appearance fee will be indispensable, at least five figures."

"Isn't he just an ATP Challenger Champion?" Chen Ran was a little embarrassed by Sun Kai's praise.

"Isn't the ATP Challenger Champion the world champion?" Sun Kai has never studied the ATP competition classification system. "You beat the Americans in the finals, of course you are the world champion."

This world champion doesn’t have to be!
After all, when Sun Kai was bragging to his father, he insisted that the world champion was his brother.

His father was happy and felt that his son was promising and had a good eye for making friends, so he was happy and gave him another pocket money.

Chen Ran was a little excited when he could earn a five-digit income just by standing on stage.But he also has a bottom line. He is obviously not a world champion yet, but he goes to the platform in the name of a "world champion". This kind of money makes him feel a little uneasy.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later when we have a chance." Chen Ran still declined, "I'm going to winter training soon, and I may not stay in Dongzhou City."

"Going again?"

Sun Kai has no idea about tennis competitions, and he doesn't know that the Australian Open, one of the four Grand Slams, is imminent.

"I was really lonely in high school."

"I thought I could always brag and laugh with you at the same table, but I ended up sitting alone every day."

Business was important, and Chen Ran had no time to listen to his continued chatter, so he stood up.

"I will introduce someone to you from now on. You should have a common language."

"Who?"

"Hu Jie from No. [-] Middle School is from Class [-] of Junior High School just like me."

"I seem to have a little impression."

……

Chen Ran went to the Academic Affairs Office and simply said that he would take leave for the rest of the first semester and would show up during the final exam.

The leader of the Academic Affairs Office also immediately expressed strong support and earnestly "warned" Chen Ran: If he wins an award in an international competition in the future, he must mention that I am a student of Dongzhou Middle School.

He also implicitly said that when Chen Ran gave a speech after winning the Magic City ATP Challenger Championship, the principal and he were "a little bit" unhappy.

It's because you didn't identify yourself as a "student of Dongzhou Middle School."

"Students will pay attention next time." After hearing this, Chen Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This is how society is. When someone takes the blame, everyone runs far away. When they can share the credit, they come from all directions.

Chen Ran walked comfortably along the tree-lined paths on campus, enjoying the rare quiet time.

In fact, students in key high schools are basically busy with their studies and rarely chase stars. Even when they see Chen Ran, a famous person in the school, they only look at him curiously from a distance.

This also reminded Chen Ran of a certain top 985 university in his previous life.

At that time, a top male and female figure in the entertainment industry were filming in this 985 college. They were surrounded by bodyguards and the scene was very grand. They were afraid that they would be surrounded by enthusiastic fans.

However, the truth is cruel. The students in this 985 university are busy studying and have no time to watch these two top men and women, which makes them extremely embarrassed.

When Chen Ran was sitting on the stone bench on the green path, enjoying what might be his last time on campus, a familiar voice came to his ears.

"Chen Ran...when did you come back?" The person who spoke was Zhou Jing, his deskmate in the third grade of junior high school.

At this moment, the girl was holding a book. Her pretty face seemed a bit thinner, and she was wearing a pair of glasses. She looked like a quiet beauty with an orchid temperament.

"I just came back today." Chen Ran raised his head and smiled, "But I have to leave soon, and I probably won't be here this semester. How about you, how have you been lately?"

He has a mobile phone, but Zhou Jing does not, and QQ is not popular in this era, so there is no way to contact them.

"I'm very busy." Zhou Jing stood up with a book in her hands. "I thought I could take it easy in my first year of high school, but the classmates around me are working very hard in their studies. If I relax even a little bit, I will feel very nervous. Ashamed.”

"My midterm score this time was very average, and I ranked 20th in the class."

In fact, whether it is a key high school or an ordinary high school, the teachers will not be there to force you to study. This is completely different from junior high school.

It's just that you are in a class in a key high school, surrounded by diligent and studious students. This learning atmosphere will continue to encourage you to work hard.

Chen Ran also noticed that Zhou Jing used to not wear glasses except in class, but now she wears glasses when walking. It seems that the degree is much deeper.

However, many beautiful girls choose laser surgery after graduating from high school or college.

Chen Ran stood up and looked at Zhou Jing and said with a smile: "You should work hard. After all, the college entrance examination is much more important than the high school entrance examination. Study hard and get into a key university in the future. As for me, I will also work hard to become an excellent tennis player."

"Well..." Zhou Jing blushed and nodded.

Then she seemed to think of something, and plucked up the courage to say, "Chen Ran, tell me your mobile phone number, and I will send you a message when I buy a mobile phone."

Chen Ran was stunned, then nodded: "Okay, but don't tell others my number."

……

PS: This emotional line will be placed here first. The heroine is going to study hard and take college entrance exams. The protagonist is going to pursue her dream and meet at the top in the future.

As for whether the protagonist wants to make waves in the sports or entertainment circles in the future, it will be decided based on the progress of the plot.

But the author feels that some girls will last forever, and some girls will just pass by...
