Episode 9:

Episode 9: What if we achieved it together?

Y-Space Sports Tennis Club

Provide you with professional training and equipments.

Website to be updated...

Director Jie,

What's wrong? Did something happen?

I want to ask you for a favor. You can't reject me.

Y-Space Sports has a tennis club, did you know?

- Isn't Jiang Jiaojiao training there? - Right.

Right. It was originally built on a vacant space owned by Y-Space Sports.

Now I have more authority, and more easily targeted.

Recently, during meetings, Young President Gao kept on talking about the club and how it is losing money.

Everyone at the company is well-aware, this club is for the company, and for internal matches.

It's normal to be losing money.

What's bad is that my son is in the club.

I am torn between keeping it open and shutting it down.

Director Jie,

I don't understand, how can I help with the matter?

Can you take over the club?

Help me.

I don't want any ties with Y-Space Sports anymore.

How is this being involved with Y-Space Sports? Y-Space Sports only provides the funding.

We are not in charge of anything else. You would have full autonomy of the club.

Director Jie, thank you but.

To be honest, I've never been a club manager. I feel like I can't be of any help to you.

Don't rush to reject the offer. Think first.

Why did you leave Y-Space Sports?

What was your original intention?

Didn't you want to be a key player and take charge?

Now there is a great opportunity in front of you.

You can take the lead and take ownership, what are you not grasping the opportunity?

People can be scared of many things, but they are really just scaring themselves.

Director Jie, I've decided, I'd like to officially accept the offer to lead the club.

Arch your back and lead the body.

Eight. Land with your knees and hips bent.

Nine.

Let's take a 5min break, now it's free time.

Song.

These are some new sports equipment. You can leave them in the classroom for now.

No problem.

Pay attention everyone.

Let's survey internally first.

Coffee coupon, shampoo, fan. Director, it's the same items every year, there's no creativity.

If there are any creative ideas, please feel free to bring up. The budget is limited, as long as it is within budget, you all know.

Let's not do shampoo, there are several baldies.

Why don't we give out wigs?

Wigs?

That's right. I noticed when influencers go out, each of them have at least three pieces of wigs on their head.

Interesting. Is this pricey?

If we order by bulk, it shouldn't be expensive. Shampoo would be in the low 100. This can be reused.

Ok, let's do it. You are in charge of the purchase.

Don't worry, boss. I will find the most cost-efficient option in the city for you.

An Cong Wig Store

Manager, take as many pictures as you want.

This is only a subset. There are more in the back.

Look, I've been introducing the wigs for a while now.

How many do you want roughly?

Best quality ones, 500 sets.

Sit, please sit and let's talk about it.

Chuan, Chuan, make some good tea.

The white can, the one I've been drinking.

Manager Liang, you have great taste.

I'm telling you, my store definitely has the most affordable but best quality wigs.

My company has employees ranging from age 20 to 50.

Some are bald on the front, side or back. How should I pick?

It's easy to pick. We have bangs for the ones bald on the front, and back pieces for the back.

If you are bald on the top, you can pick a top piece. That all works.

Hey, rich customer is here.

Please have some tea.

Yo, your employee is quite handsome.

This is not an employee, he's my son.

Thank you so much for your help. I have not drawn eyeliners for a long time, my mascara and eyeliner pen have all dried up.

Aren't you lucky?

For the celebration banquet a few days ago, I bought some new clothes, I brought all of them here.

So many styles for you to choose from.

Then I have to pick one that shows charisma.

Aren't you just going to the club today? Is it necessary to dress up?

This is my first appearance after formally accepting the position.

I have to look put-together.

Ok.

Want me to curl your hair?

That's not necessary. My hair length. Maybe more realistic to get me a wig.

A wig.

How do I look? Are you impressed?

So gorgeous.

I'm here.

How is it, how are you feeling?

This looks worse than in the documents. Some kind of dreary feeling.

No matter what, since I'm here, might as well go check it out.

[Young Space Tennis Club]

You are from Y-Space Sports?

Right, big company, with good benefits.

Manager Liang, I've contacted the manufacturer.

Five hundred sets in stock, depending on when you need them.

- Three days. - No problem.

I will give you the direct selling price.

Ok, I'm heading out now.

- Take care. - Bye, handsome boy.

- What are you doing? - What am I doing?

I'm so worried for you. The way she was talking to you shows that she was interested in you.

Do you know how to make a conversation?

This is called, reducing awkward conversations. It's good for the environment.

I'm telling you, you have dropped your chance to find a girlfriend to zero.

I have arrived at the tennis court.

It's not bad.

This court is so..

big.

Honey, can you imagine

about seven to eight muscular young men in front of me.

Running in front of me and showing off their muscles.

Liang You'an,

what's up with you? You realized that your new job is great so quickly.

How do I put it? This job will be good for my mental and physical health.

Ok, I will hang up now.

Liang You'an,

what are you here for?

Hello everyone.

I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Liang You'an.

From now on, I will be the acting manager of this club.

Please offer your advice.

You are the new manager?

Hello.

You are Coach Wang?

Yes, the main coach here, Wang Guochao.

Nice to meet you.

Your first day here right? You haven't seen your office yet?

Let me show you.

Thank you.

This venue is pretty good.

The manager my dad mentioned is her?

The nature of our club is half professional half commercial.

Our income mainly comes from membership fee.

The facilities here are great. We have 4 indoor courts and 14 outdoor courts.

Back then, Preident Gao loved playing tennis.

Later, he had back problems and had to quit, but he kept the venue.

Here is the manager's office.

Thank you.

The previous manager only came a few times.

These things have not really been touched,

They're all practically new.

I'll go practice now.

You've worked hard.

Someone from Finance will pay you a visit.

Previously, I knew that the club was mismanaged,

I don’t know we are penniless.

Next Monday is pay day. Manager Liang,

we must trouble you to return to the Group to get the budget approved.

Get the budget approved?

Yes. Get the budget approved.

Like...asking the parent company for money.

I...I understand what you mean.

But shouldn't wages be distributed on time?

When we don’t live up to the expectations, we’ll be bullied.

Our club is the only entity that requires budget approval every month by the parent company.

The former manager quitted because she couldn’t endure the emotional hardship.

Manager Liang,

I have prepared all of this month's expenses and reimbursements for you.

Do you need me to go with you?

Forget it. You don't need to go with me.

I can go myself. I am quite familiar with Y-Space Sport's Finance Department.

Getting this done probably wouldn't be too difficult.

Coach Wang, I must trouble you to send me the athletes' comprehensive information.

[Jiang Jiaojiao]

Jiang Jiaojiao, the club's pampered prince.

As long as he's on court, everyone must abide by his beck and call.

He's the classic athlete that was made from money.

[Y-Space Sport Club’s prince, core team player, use his own money to turn professional player, 22 years old, dispensable in the tennis world, Jiang Jiaojiao.]

Up until now, he spent more money on tennis than he made.

There are no championship money can pay for his travel expenses.

[Chen Zhe]

He followed Jiaojiao here.

Actually, he is more like a dead hard tennis fans.

His training style follows his whims.

When he's happy he'll play a little.

he stops practicing when he’s tired.

Look at his small frame.

He joined the club only to exercise.

Let's take a break. Let's take a break.

Let me show you something cool. Come!

Let me show you

a pair of sunglasses that just arrived from France.

Arrived on air transport.

[Dai Yi]

In terms of training, he's quite serious and comes everyday.

Not only does he come for training, his mom comes along to pick up balls for him. ["Attitude Champion" in Educational Pursuits]

Just to save him more time.

But he's working so hard not to go professional,

only to use tennis as a springboard for his educational pursuits.

Equivalent to coming to the club as a means to prepare for the Collage Entrance Exams.

As for the other club members...

they're even worse than those three.

There's no need to introduce them...right?

Walk properly. Don't twist your foot.

Hey, don't say that.

Ever since I started running in the morning with you,

I feel refreshed and energized every day.

Isn't that right? I'm not a bad coach?

Oh that's right. Have you gone to your job yet? How is it?

It's..even worse than I imagined.

The athletes are not good. Even the funds are lacking.

In a bit, I'll need to go to Y-Space Sports to ask for money.

It's okay. If nothing else, I'm here to back you up.

You still have you dog walking job.

Whether it's running, natural talent or physique,

all his qualities are the best.

Some people are born to be on the court.

In the end

he gave it up just like that.

Don't you have any regrets or bitterness?

I don't like hearing this.

Rebound!

Childish.

Luoluo

Sister You'an, why are you back?

I'm looking for Sister Li.

Sister Li.

She just left.

Impossible.

We agreed to meet at ten.

I do not know.

Xiao Liu.

Liang You'an? Why are you here?

I'm looking for Sister Li to approve the budget.

Is it convenient for me to wait for a while here.

Go ahead.

Liang You'an, it's our lunch time.

You.

Got it.

Sorry to interrupt.

Have something to eat. You'll be in a better mood.

I am not hungry.

Aren't you the most sought after person in this company?

From what I see, you aren't doing very well.

They made you wait the whole morning, aren't you angry?

You have the world of time, take your time to wait.

I have loads of work.

Liang You'an,

you're still here.

You could have come tomorrow.

I have confirmed the appointment with you.

I'm used to doing things according to plan.

Sister Li.

This is our financial budget.

Expenses from last month and planned budget for next month.

Take a look. If there's no issues, please sign off.

I'd never heard of a department in the company that gets a budget every month.

How about this? If there's anything that needs to be adjusted,

we should at least be allowed to batch sign it according to season, right?

Liang, has it been too long since you've organized budgets?

Look at how you taped this. It's all crooked.

These sheets don't match up. I can't approve these.

Oh, You'an.

Why did you tape these yourself?

Just ask me next time. I'll do it for you!

Vice President Jie is so busy.

Don't bother him too much. And don't do it yourself seither.

Sure, thanks.

I'm not trying to give you a hard time.

There's formal procedures for anything dealing with money.

Those like you who have just taken over

have to fill in the holes first.

Go ask Vice President Jiang Jie for special approval.

I understood.

Go on.

[Marketing Department]

Hello.

Sister You'an! What brings you here?

I'm here to see Vice President Jie. Is he back yet?

He hasn't been back yet, how about you wait for a while?

Fine.

- I get you some drink. -Don't worry.

I've had enough to drink. Do what you need to do. Don't worry about me.

Vice President Jie is back.

Sister You'an.

The lunch appointment didn't go so well.

He's not in a good mood right now.

If you need to say something, you'd best wait a bit before going in.

Fine.

Vice President Jie. I know you don't want to see me.

But I would still like to take up a bit of your time.

Because Sister Li says I must get special approval for the over-expenditures left behind by the previous manager.

Before I can retrieve the expenses

for next month from the finance department.

You'an.

I can't approve that budget.

This club

is the project that loses the most money in the company.

But my son Jiang Jiaojiao is a part of it.

I have to steer clear of suspicion.

How could I approve that budget for you?

If it wasn't so hard,

why would I have asked you to go to the club?

You don't need to appease me with pretty words.

Fine.

I won't ask for your special approval.

The club that everyone looks down on has now landed in my hands.

I will manage it well.

It's just a negative starting point, isn't it?

Just like me.

Back when I used to be a special assistant,

I was like someone running endlessly on that treadmill.

It looked like I never stopped to rest all day,

but in reality I stayed in place and didn't move forward one bit.

The most important thing is, even the slope and speed were all set for me by someone else.

But now,

I've experienced the happiness of running out there in the world.

I'm thankful to a certain person

for charging in by mistake

and pulling out the plug from this treadmill for me.

Why are the numbers off for this month's office consumables?

What's wrong with them? You can only get half the amount of pens and notebooks.

The company is cutting down on costs. Use them sparingly.

Why didn't I hear about this? Everyone else in my department got theirs.

That's why there's none left for you.

Are you new here?

Have you got your head on straight?

What's her name?

Right.

The entry system is being upgraded, so you can't refresh your parking card either.

Are you targeting on me, right?-

- I complained about you. - Go ahead.

My boss is in his office.

Hey, who hired her? Who hired her?

Fine, I am going right now.

Come back, get your thing.

Fine.

[An Cong Wig Store]

What's the occasion? Why are you drinking? Is it your birthday?

Keep pretending.

My birthday is on New Year's. It's not like you haven't celebrated with me before.

Why are you drinking so fast? Trying to get yourself drunk?

I'm not going to take care of you if you get drunk.

Since you are retired.

I am asking you.

Back then, why you knew your mother.

got sick and passed away, you stopped playing.

Could you tell me the truth?

Tong Lu's birthday. No wonder.

Fine.

I only say once, listen carefully.

The first few years she was gone, my true, honest feeling was...

Feeling carefree.

That heavy burden on my back was finally gone.

But on the inside, I still had one sliver of spirit in me.

That's why I played so smoothly those first couple years.

But then I found that letter under your bed. Did you know that?

I did a lot of research.

The greatest cause of her illness was not being happy.

It was an emotional sickness.

Maybe ever since I stopped getting first place. No, wait.

Ever since I was born, I was already the root of her illness.

- Chuan, don't think of it like that. - Do you dare say I'm wrong?

The way I see it,

it wasn't that she didn't want to drag us down. She just didn't want to forgive us.

But I can understand.

Not all parents...

not all parents love their kids.

Once I acknowledged that, I was fine.

Chuan. Tong Lu's illness

was her fate. It couldn't be changed.

But badminton is something you played yourself for over a decade.

Isn't it a pity to give up on it just like that?

I went back to Y-Space today.

You have no idea how fake that workplace is.

The brilliance belongs to your position. Your value belongs to your work.

Your position won't leave behind a single trace of you.

If I was still on the fence before

about whether or not leaving that position was a pity,

then today, I feel fortunate!

Even if your work is graded as an A, they will always grade you an E as a person.

There's no such thing as being irreplaceable. Didn't he say?

That I would have absolute control to make decisions there.

Okay, then let's see whether or not I can do it.

Don't take this wrong, but are you sure you haven't you picked up a hot potato there?

What's wrong with that? My hands are empty anyways. What do I have to be afraid of?

Have you decided what to do?

I'm thinking.

You might not think it's a pity,

but I do...

A pity...

What a pity...

Such a pity...

[Can Professional Badminton Athletes Play Tennis?]

[If A Professional Badminton Athlete Can't Get Results, Can They Play Tennis?]

[Young Space Tennis Club]

Liang, you were looking for me?

Coach Wang. Perfect timing.

I created some forms and charts and wanted to ask you to help take a look

and see if there's anything that needs to be improved or added.

What's this?

This week, I observed and noted the current state of the club,

and created these daily practice record forms.

Per my research, I found out that the best tennis club in the country

as well as the coach's fame.

I want the club to make profit as soon as possible.

The key to this, is for the members to gain achievements.

So now, the more effective method is to track their daily practice progress

and put it on a black and white chart.

Are you being serious?

Of course.

Okay. How about this?

Take these forms with you.

And explain it to the kids and coach.

The movements the coach teaches, how much the players practice daily,

I think these are all things that could be filled out on these charts.

For example, whether the coach taught forehand or backhand today.

whether you practiced upper or lower body fitness,

these charts can serve as a way to supervise everyone's progress.

Didn't my dad demote you down here?

Just fake it.

Why are you doing all this?

I don't care either way.

Do whatever you want, just don't make me practice.

I came here to take it easy. If it doesn't work out, I'll go somewhere else.

So we're all gathered here to chat? Nothing important?

Nothing important.

I'll go practice, then.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Don't blame the kids for not budging.

Leisure clubs and an athletic club are completely different.

Those who play at athletic clubs are mostly kids who had it rough.

They're playing for money, so they practice like they've got their lives on the line.

The only thing they are allowed to think about is achieving results.

The kids at leisure clubs who don't lack food and water?

If they aren't feeling it,

these charts aren't going to get them moving at all.

I think you're absolutely right.

These people are too used to being comfortable.

They neither have the resolve to win, nor the motivation to work hard.

Compared to real athletes, they're miles and miles away.

Can you recruit a good one?

I know of an athlete with innate talent and potential.

I'd like you to take a look for me.

See if it'll work.

Fifty-four! Fifty-five! Fifty-six!

Fifty-seven! Fifty-eight! Fifty-nine!

The talented individual you mentioned plays badminton?

Of course

There's plenty who go from badminton into tennis.

And some of them can actually get results.

Which kid are you talking about?

The bigger one in the middle.

The middle one?

The one hitting the ball.

- The coach? - Yeah.

I know you're not an expert, but

I didn't know it was to this extent.

How old is he? Twenty?

Past twenty and trying to go from badminton to tennis?

That's unheard of.

I want him.

You want me to play tennis at your club?

Liang You'an

Is it that you've made too much money off sports that

You think too lightly of sports.

You want someone who plays badminton

to teach your tennis team?

There's another reason.

I don't want you to leave the scene like this.

If you can join us,

those kids would have a benchmark. Or at the very least, someone as reference.

You are the best professional athlete I know.

I'm not professional anymore.

Besides, it's a tennis club.

I play badminton.

But from ages 8 to 10, the sport you played was tennis.

You even found that out?

You really targeted me.

I think you wanted to choose tennis.

But because of your mother,

you could only choose badminton, correct?

You said it yourself.

It's been over ten years, so I've long forgotten it, okay?

It's better if you have. Then you can start from the beginning.

Each kid at the club is a sardine that has it comfortable.

I need the most fierce

I need the most fierce catfish to stir them up.

I've been in this line of work for a long time.

I know what a professional athlete looks like. Song Sanchuan, you're really talented.

I believe that fire in your heart was not extinguished.

Right?

Okay, then tell me.

One catfish that's 22-years-old,

change his direction.

Is it possible?

In the past, there was no precedent like this.

But you're Song Sanchuan.

If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even dare to think about it.

Did you know that I didn't tell you the rankings of the assessment that day.

But I can tell you today. In every assessment, your ranking was better than Jin Yi.

You've even exceeded the majority of athletes.

Liang You'an,

I retired because I wanted to.

If you still really care about this,

or you want to compensate for it,

you really don't need to.

I know that you have a mental knot.

You believe you've been given up on

by your mother,

by your team,

by badminton.

You might not believe me if I say it.

I have ten years over you, but it's nothing much.

I've had little decision-making power.

Did you know I decided to leave Y-Space Sports

because I heard what you said.

"Sometimes it's braver to give up than to continue on."

So I left.

I didn't care about what other people thought and joined the tennis club.

It's also because you said

"A lot of things that people fear,

are created on their own."

I thought it was weird.

I was moved by your most simple and straightforward words.

What I said

really affected you that much?

What I was moved by was the courage hidden beneath your words.

Those are the things,

I lost more quickly than collagen between the ages of 20 and 30.

It was also my first time becoming a manager at a tennis club.

So I really want to invite you to try with me.

What if we can do it?

Besides, on the tennis court

there will never be 18 to 18.

Hands?

The grilled fish is here.

Your small face is already red and toasty.

In the time it took for me to grill fish, you didn't go easy on the drinks.

Don't worry about me. You should drink less. You and your alcohol tolerance.

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

You see...

The team gave you living and food expenses.

How much you make didn't have anything to do with me.

Now that you're back, I have to take care of your living and food costs.

Isn't this....

Just in terms of living expenses

shouldn't you take care of some of it?

I was waiting for this.

Here.

The two of us thought the same way.

But look at you, look at you. You went specially to the bank to get cash?

Cash is good.

You can hold it and it has weight.

There's no sincerity in transferring it over the phone.

You have a ceremony.

It's quite romantic, kid.

Small–Small–Small...take a smaller sip.

Small–Small–Small.

Do you have something on your mind?

That you're getting yourself drunk?

I know.

Why you're asking me for living expenses.

I want to save face.

If I still don't give you this money,

I would be ashamed to continue to live in your fake hotel.

Do you also think I'm quite useless?

It's been so many years since I was eighteen.

It's still like I'm not an adult.

I'm with my fake dad on this second floor.

If I wasn't reminded today,

I would've forgotten that when I was younger,

I applied for the tennis team.

On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays,

I'd be forced to practice badminton. Tuesdays and Thursdays,

I'd sneak off and practice tennis.

Why is your wrist so strong?

Because these two sports are not the same.

Later, she found out.

So my tennis racket was broken.

Her original words were...

You are my son.

You must get a trophy through badminton.

Then I had to practice properly.

As I kept playing,

she was gone.

It's fine.

What I want to say

is that I've thought it through.

I want to go to the tennis club.

I want to go from badminton to tennis.

You'an's?

Wait, let me talk to you about this.

At age 22, going from badminton to tennis?

There's no precedent in the whole world.

I will be the precedent.
