(What If We Succeed Together?)

(Young Space Tennis Club)

(We provide professional tennis training and equipment support)

(Updating)

Mr. Jie,

what happened?

What's wrong with you today?

I need you to do me a favor.

You're not allowed to reject me.

Young Space owns a tennis club.

You know that, right?

Isn't that the place

where Jiang Jiaojiao does his training at?

That's right.

Initially, it was built on

a vacant land owned by Young Space.

Now, I'm one of the top executives.

And that attracts unwanted rumors.

During our meeting,

Mr. Gao

has been targeting this club.

He said it's incurring losses.

Everyone in the company

understands this.

This is a business package.

It's meant for enterprise cups.

It's normal for it

to incur losses.

But the thing is,

my son, Jiang Jiaojiao,

is a member of the club.

Now, I'm caught in a dilemma.

I don't know

if I should close it down or not.

Mr. Jie.

I don't understand.

How can I

help you with this?

Can you

take over the club?

Can you do me this favor?

I no longer want to have anything to do

with Young Space.

This has nothing to do with Young Space.

Young Space only provides it with funding.

It doesn't care about the rest.

You can manage the club

with your own method.

Mr. Jie, thank you.

But to be honest,

I've never worked

as a club manager before.

I don't think

I can do you this favor...

Don't reject me first.

Think about it.

Why did you leave Young Space

in the first place?

What was the reason you started working?

Didn't you do it so that you could take the lead

and become independent?

Right now, there's a great opportunity

right in front of you.

You can take the lead

and be independent.

Why aren't you

grabbing hold of this opportunity then?

Sometimes, we're only

scaring ourselves.

Mr. Jie, I've decided.

I'm willing to take over

the tennis club.

Remember. Lift your hips.

After that, move your body

by swinging your arms.

Here.

Eight.

Land with your feet at shoulder width.

Nine.

Alright.

Okay. Let's take a five-minute break.

You're free to move around.

Go now.

Song.

This is the latest batch

of sports equipment.

Keep it in the classroom.

Alright, no problem.

Everyone, take note.

The survey for the gifts

for this year's

Fun Day

has been sent to your emails.

Please do the survey for me first.

Coffee vouchers, hair shampoo, electrical fan?

Miss, it's the same every year.

There's nothing new at all.

If you have any good ideas,

you can bring it up.

We have a limited budget.

Mind the budget.

You guys know it too.

I think we should remove hair shampoo from the gifts.

Most wage slaves are bald anyway.

Giving them hair shampoo is meaningless.

I think giving them wigs is better.

Wigs?

That's right.

Lately, I discovered

that influencers

bring at least three wigs with them when they go outside.

(Wigs are a part of my daily life ever since I experienced hair fall issues.)

This is pretty interesting.

Is this expensive then?

They won't be if we buy them in batches.

A better hair shampoo

already costs around 100 yuan.

And, we can use this repeatedly.

Alright.

We'll buy this then.

I'll leave the purchasing

to you then.

Don't worry, Miss.

I'll definitely

find a wig shop

with the best value for money.

(Ancong Wig Shop)

Ms. Liang, please go ahead.

These are only parts of my collection.

I still have other wigs in the warehouse.

(Handmade Female Wig)

Look.

I've introduced everything I have.

How many wigs

will you order then?

Give me 500 of the best wigs you have.

Ms. Liang, have a seat.

Please sit down.

Let's talk this over.

Chuan!

Chuan, make me some excellent tea.

Use the one in the white container.

The one I always drink.

Ms. Liang,

you have great taste.

Listen.

Our wig shop

is definitely the cheapest

and best wig shop you can find in the city.

The age range of our employees

is between

20 to 50.

And, some of them are bald

in the front, the middle, and the back.

If that's the case,

what kind of wig should I choose?

That's simple.

Let me introduce them.

If you're bald in the front,

we have fake bangs here.

Here they are.

If you're bald in the back, we have back wigs.

If you're bald at the top,

we have top wigs.

You can choose them.

Our sponsor is here.

Here, please have some tea.

Your staff is pretty handsome.

He's not my staff.

He's my son.

Thank you for your support.

Do you know something?

It's been so long since I drew my eyes.

Both my eyeliner

and mascara dried up.

You're so lucky.

I bought new clothes

for the celebratory dinner.

I brought them here for you.

Pick whatever you like.

If so, I have to pick a grand one.

I thought you were just

heading to the tennis club?

Do you need to make it so grand?

This is my first time reporting for duty

after taking over it.

Of course I have to be formal about it.

Fine then.

I'll give you a wavy hairstyle.

No need for that.

Look at my hair length.

It's easier

if you just

get me a wig.

A wig, huh?

What do you think?

Are you charmed?

You're gorgeous.

I've arrived.

How do you feel?

It's different

(Young Space Tennis Club) from the profile detail I saw.

There's a sense

of desolateness to it.

No matter what,

since I'm already here,

I should take a look.

(Young Space Tennis Club)

Are you from Young Space?

That's right.

It's a large enterprise. There are plenty of benefits.

Ms. Liang,

I've contacted the supplier.

They have 500 sets of wigs ready to go.

Just tell us when you need them.

I need them in three days.

No problem.

I'll sell them to you at a direct sale price.

Okay.

Goodbye.

Take care.

Goodbye, hunk.

What?

What?

How could you be so dense?

Look at the way

she's talking to you.

She's interested in you.

Do you even know how to chat with girls?

I'm just trying to avoid any awkward conversations.

Listen.

You're the reason

you're single until now.

I'm entering the court.

It's pretty good.

This court

is huge.

Babe,

can you imagine

that there are

7 to 8

sweaty young guys

running around

and training their muscles in front of you?

Liang You'an,

what's wrong with you?

You like

your new job already?

How do I put it?

I feel like this job

is pretty good for my mental health.

Alright, I'll hang up first.

Liang You'an.

What are you doing here?

Hello, everyone.

I'll introduce myself.

My name is Liang You'an.

From now on,

I'm the acting manager

of this club.

Please take care of me.

So, you're the new manager?

Hello.

You must be Coach Wang.

I'm Wang Guochao, the main coach here.

Nice to meet you.

This must be your first day here.

You haven't visited your office yet, right?

I'll bring you there.

Thank you.

Come.

This place is pretty nice.

So, she's the new manager Dad mentioned?

For our club,

it's half professional and half commercial.

Our income mainly comes from

the membership subscriptions of club members.

The hardware facilities here are pretty complete.

We have four indoor courts

and 14 outdoor courts.

Back then,

Mr. Gao Teng

loved to play tennis.

After that, he quit tennis as his waist

couldn't stand it.

But he kept the venue intact.

This is the manager's office.

Thank you.

The previous manager

rarely came here.

He didn't touch anything.

Everything is new here.

I'll resume my training then.

Thank you.

The finance department will look for you soon.

I knew

that the club

had poor management.

But I never expected it

to be penniless.

Next Monday

is payday.

Ms. Liang,

please return to the group

and ask them to approve our budget.

Approve our budget?

Yes, that's right.

That means

we need to ask the group for money.

I understand what you mean.

But I thought we should

pay them periodically?

We have to endure grievances since we aren't doing well.

Only our club has to ask

the group

for money every month.

The previous manager

quit

as he couldn't

stand the humiliation.

Ms. Liang,

I've already written down this month's expenses

and reimbursements.

Do you need me to accompany you back?

Forget it.

You don't need to come.

I'll go back myself.

I'm pretty close with

Young Space's finance department.

This shouldn't be

too hard.

Coach Wang,

please send me the details

of the players.

(Jiang Jiaojiao)

Jiang Jiaojiao,

prince of the tennis club.

Whenever he's there,

everyone will suck up to him.

He's a typical athlete

who bought his way into the team.

(Prince of Young Space Tennis Club) (Core figure of the team)

(Bought his way into the team) (Not too good, not too bad)

Until now, his career

still can't sustain his living hood.

His prize money

can't even cover his transport fee.

(Chen Zhe)

Chen Zhe,

he came together with Jiaojiao.

At most,

he's just an amateur tennis player.

He's very casual when it comes to training.

He'll play for a while when he's in a good mood.

He'll go home when he's tired.

(Professional Tennis Amateur, strive for leisure instead of excellence)

Look at his size.

He came here

just to work out.

Take a break.

Let me show you something cool.

Let me show you something.

The shades I ordered from France

just arrived yesterday.

It was imported here.

(Dai Yi)

Dai Yi.

He's pretty serious during training sessions.

He comes here every day.

Not only does he come here to train,

but his mother also comes here to pick up tennis balls for him.

(Mommy's Boy, work hard so that he won't need to play tennis in the future)

She's trying

to save up more time for him.

However,

he didn't work hard

so that he could turn into a professional tennis player.

He just wanted to use tennis

as a platform to launch him into university.

It's like he joined the tennis club

just to prepare for the NCEE.

As for the rest,

they're worse than these three.

I don't think I need to introduce them to you.

Walk properly.

You'll sprain your ankle.

You see,

I feel refreshed

after I started to join you for the morning jog.

Yeah, right?

I'm a good trainer, right?

By the way, did you take the job offer?

How is it?

It's worse

than I thought.

Not only are the players terrible,

but we lack funding too.

Later,

I need to go to Young Space and ask them for money.

It's fine.

I'm still here for you.

If it doesn't work out, you can still work as a dog walker.

No matter if it's jogging,

one's talent,

or body type,

all of them are the best.

Some people

are born to play sports.

In the end,

they give up without a fight.

Don't tell me

you have no regrets?

Are you satisfied with it?

I don't like that.

Uno reverse!

You're so childish.

(Young Space)

Lulu.

Ms. You'an? Why are you back?

I'm looking for Ms. Li.

Ms. Li?

She just went outside.

This can't be.

I made an appointment with her at 10 a.m.

I'm not too sure either.

(Finance Office)

Liu.

Liang You'an?

What are you doing here?

I came to ask Ms. Li to approve my budget.

Can I sit here for a while?

Go ahead.

Liang You'an,

it's lunchtime.

You...

Got it.

Sorry for the interruption.

Here.

You'll feel better.

I'm not hungry.

I thought you were highly regarded in the company?

But it seemed to me

that you didn't do as well as I thought.

They wasted your morning.

Aren't you angry?

I know you're free.

You can continue to wait then.

I have plenty of work to do.

Liang You'an,

you're still here.

You can come back tomorrow.

I made an appointment with you.

I'm used to

fulfilling my appointments.

Ms. Li,

these are last month's expenses

and next month's budget

that was prepared by our finance department.

Please take a look.

Please approve it

if there's no issue.

I've never heard of any department

that has to ask for money every month.

What about this?

Just tell us what you want us to change.

At the very least, you should give us money

according to seasons.

Liang,

has it been too long since you pasted receipts?

Look at

how messy they look.

They don't tally too.

I can't approve it.

You'an,

why are you pasting them yourself?

Find me next time.

I'll paste them for you personally.

Mr. Jie is busy.

You shouldn't trouble him.

You shouldn't paste them yourself too.

Sure, thank you.

I'm not trying to make things difficult for you.

But when it comes to money,

there are certain regulations we need to follow.

Since you just took over the club,

you need to fill the hole first.

After that, you can find Mr. Jie and ask him to approve it.

Alright, I got it.

Leave.

(Marketing Department)

Hello, guys.

Ms. You'an?

What are you doing here?

I'm here to find Mr. Jie.

Is he back?

He hasn't returned yet.

Why don't you wait here?

Sure.

I'll get you a drink.

It's okay.

I already drank a lot.

Resume your work. Forget about me.

Mr. Jie and the rest are back.

Ms. You'an,

the meeting didn't go well.

He's in a bad mood.

It's best if you wait a little while

before you talk to him.

Okay.

Mr. Jie,

I know you don't wish to see me.

But I still need

to take up a little of your time.

Ms. Li said

I need your special approval for

the previous manager's

overspending

before I can head to the finance department

and acquire the funding for next month.

You'an,

I can't approve your budget.

This club

is the worst business

that the company owns.

My son, Jiang Jiaojiao, is a member of the club too.

I have to avert suspicion.

How can I

approve the budget for you?

Why would I beg you

to take over the club

if it was easy to handle?

You didn't need to brush me off like that.

Fine.

I won't beg for your special approval.

Now,

I'm in charge of the club

that everyone despises.

I will make it better.

It just has a negative starting point.

It's just like me.

When I was working as an executive assistant,

I was like

a robot

running on the treadmill non-stop.

It seemed like

I was working non-stop.

But in reality,

I was always in the same spot.

Most importantly,

even the slope and speed

were determined by someone else.

But now,

I've experienced the joy

of making progress in the world.

I would like to thank someone

who came in abruptly

and remove the cord

of the treadmill for me.

The inventory count of our office supplies

is wrong.

What do you mean by that?

We can only use half of the notebooks and pen.

The company wants to cut its expenses.

Try not to be wasteful with them.

Why haven't I heard about that?

Everyone in my office had taken them.

That's why we ran out of office supplies for you.

You must be a newcomer.

Do you know what's going on?

What's her name?

By the way,

they upgraded the login system.

The parking card cannot be updated as of now.

Please walk for the next few days.

So, you're picking on me, huh?

I'll file a complaint against you.

Go ahead.

My boss is in the office now.

Who recruited her?

Who recruited her?

Fine.

I'll head there right now.

Come back.

Take your things away.

Fine!

(Ancong Wig Shop)

What day is it today? You're even drinking.

It's your birthday?

Stop pretending.

My birthday is on the 1st day of the Lunar New Year.

It's not like you never celebrated it for me.

Why are you drinking so fast?

Are you trying to get yourself drunk?

I won't take care of you

after you get drunk.

I only dare to ask you this

after you retire from the team.

Say, back then,

why couldn't you

play badminton

after you found out that your mother fell sick and left us?

Can you tell me the truth?

So, it's Tong Lu's birthday.

No wonder.

Fine.

I'll only tell you this once.

Listen closely.

During the first few years she left,

honestly, I felt

relaxed.

The burden on my shoulders

was finally gone.

But I was still driven.

That's why I played well

during the first two years.

But after that, I found the letter

you hid under the bed.

You know that, right?

I did my research.

The biggest cause of her illness

was unhappiness.

It came from her emotions.

Maybe it started because

I failed to become the champion.

That's not right.

I was the cause of her illness

ever since I was born.

Chuan, you mustn't think of it like that.

Do you dare to say that I was wrong?

She was seriously ill.

Even so, she left the family.

To me, it didn't seem like

she wanted to avoid dragging us down.

It seemed like she didn't want to forgive me.

But I can understand too.

Not all parents

in the world

love their parents.

♪Had been tempered with realism♪

I should've known that.

♪At the end of the regret♪

♪I met you with my wounded heart♪

♪Bare my soul♪

♪When you were hugging me, my bewilderment♪

♪Made my heart skip a beat♪

Chuan,

Tong Lu fell sick.

That's her fate.

No one can change it.

But you were the one who played badminton

for over a decade.

You're giving up just like this.

Don't you think it's a shame?

♪Can you not leave without saying goodbye?♪

♪Let me sleep soundly in my dreams♪

Today,

I went back to Young Space.

You had no idea how pretentious

the place was.

They only showed me respect because of my position

and the work I did.

Once you leave the position,

no traces will be left behind.

If I was hesitating about

whether I should

leave

my position or not

before today,

I guess

I'm lucky that I made the right decision.

You were an executive assistant.

Even if you get an A for work,

you're always an E.

There's nothing

irreplaceable about you.

Didn't he say so already?

I can manage

the club with my own methods.

Fine then.

I'll see

if I can do it or not.

I'm not trying to criticize you here.

But you got yourself

a hot potato.

So what?

I don't have anything to lose anyway.

What's there to be afraid of?

If so, have you thought of what to do?

I'm thinking.

What a shame.

You don't feel that it's a shame.

But I feel so.

What a shame.

What a shame.

It's such a shame.

(Possibility of a career change from badminton to tennis)

(Changing from badminton to tennis will result in depression.)

(They're quite different. The idea is very ridiculous.)

(Tennis athletes)

(KOKKINAKIS SINNER)

(National Badminton Championships)

(Can badminton players play tennis?)

(The two power chains are different. It's more difficult for professional players.)

(It's better to quit. It's possible if he's still young, otherwise it's too hard.)

(Young Space Tennis Club)

Liang.

Were you looking for me?

Coach Wang.

Come. Great timing.

I made several forms.

I want you to see

if there's anything

I need to add.

What is this?

I've observed the club

for the past week

and came up with

this daily training record.

During my research, I found out

that the best tennis clubs

in the nation

and the base of the commercial members

mostly depend on

the results of the professional players

and the popularity of the coaches.

I wish to help our tennis club

make a profit within a short period.

(Club Member Schedule System) Mainly,

we need to make sure our players can produce results.

So,

(Coach Training Checklist) the most effective way

is to fill in their performance during training

on the form.

(Club Member Schedule System)

(Coach Training Checklist)

Are you being serious?

Of course.

Alright.

What about this?

Take these forms with you

and tell the kids and the other coaches

about it.

Regarding the moves the coaches had taught

and how many times the player had done them,

I think they could be

recorded in the forms.

For example, the coach may teach

forehand groundstroke or backstroke today.

A drop shot or an interception.

The players' shots for today.

Serving, running,

and whether they trained their upper bodies

or lower bodies.

This form

can serve as a type of

supervision.

My father sent you here

as a demotion, right?

You should stop

after putting on an act.

Why are you being so troublesome?

It doesn't matter to me.

I don't care what you guys

want to do.

Just don't let me do them.

I came here

to relax.

If it doesn't work out, I'll go to another club.

So, we're just here

to have a casual chat?

It's nothing serious, huh?

If so, I'll resume my training.

Let's go and play tennis.

Let's go.

Don't blame them.

These children are hard to motivate.

A club and a sports academy

are two different things.

Many players in the sports academy

come from poor families.

They go there to earn money.

They train with everything they have.

Producing result is the only thing on their mind.

The kids in the club

are well-off.

If he doesn't want to do it,

your forms

won't work on him.

I think you hit the nail on the head.

These guys

are used to an easy life.

They don't have the determination to win

or the motivation to strive.

They're way inferior

to professional athletes.

Can you recruit someone good then?

I know an athlete

who has great potential.

I want you to see

if he can do it.

54, 55, 56,

57, 58, 59!

So, you meant

a talented badminton player?

But of course.

There are plenty of badminton talents in China.

Plenty of them have tried changing to tennis too.

Some of them actually managed to produce great results.

Which child do you mean?

The middle one.

He's slightly older than them.

The one in the middle?

The one who's juggling the shuttlecock.

You mean the coach?

I know this field is new to you,

but I didn't expect you

to be so bad at it.

Do you know how old is he?

He must be in his twenties.

Changing from badminton to tennis in his twenties?

This is unheard of.

I want him anyway.

You want me to play tennis

for your club?

Liang You'an,

have you earned

too much from the sports industry?

Is that why you're taking sports lightly?

You want a badminton player

to save your tennis club?

There's another reason.

I don't want to see you

leave the sports industry just like this.

If you can join us,

at least those kids

will have a target to strive for.

At least they can refer to you.

You're the best

professional athlete I know.

I'm no longer a professional.

And, you manage a tennis club.

I'm a badminton player.

However, you started out by playing tennis

from eight to ten years old.

You actually found that out?

Seems like you're bent on recruiting me.

I know you studied in the sports university's

affiliated primary school.

My guess is

that you wanted to choose tennis.

However, due to your mother,

you could only choose badminton,

right?

You said so yourself.

It's the enlightenment from eight to ten years old.

It's been more than a decade.

I've forgotten everything.

That's even better.

You can start from scratch.

You can be their training partner.

The kids in the club

have it too easy.

I need someone fierce.

I need a fierce athlete

to motivate them.

I've been working in

this industry for a long time.

I know

what an excellent athlete

looks like.

Song Sanchuan, you're very talented.

I believe you still have

that drive inside your heart,

am I right?

Fine. Tell me then.

I'm a 22-year-old athlete.

Now, you want me to change my profession?

Is it even possible?

No one has done it before.

But you're Song Sanchuan.

I would never dare to imagine it

if it was someone else.

Do you know something?

I didn't tell you the result

for the fitness test.

But now, I can tell you.

You were better than Jin Yi

in all aspects.

You even exceeded

most professional athletes.

Liang You'an,

I retired

because I wanted to.

If you still

mind this issue

and you wish to make it up to me,

you can forget about it.

I know you're traumatized.

You think

people always abandon you.

You think your mother abandoned you.

You think your team abandoned you.

You think badminton abandoned you.

You may not believe me,

I led the same life as you

even though I'm more than ten years older than you.

I had no right to decide.

Do you know something?

I decided to leave Young Space

all because of

what you said.

Sometimes, giving up takes more courage

than persevering.

That's why I left.

I joined the tennis club

without caring for other people's opinions.

It's also because you said

we're the ones scaring ourselves

sometimes.

I thought it was strange too.

All those things

that I hesitated

to decide,

I figured them out

by listening

to your simple words.

Were my words

that impactful?

I was touched

by the bravery hidden

in your words.

That was something

I lost faster than my metabolism

from

20 to 30 years old.

It's my first time

being the manager

for a tennis club too.

That's why

I wish to invite you to join me.

What if we succeed?

After all, you won't encounter

an 18 all score

in tennis.

Your hand.

All done.

The roasted fish is ready.

This time, it's not burnt.

Your face is blushing already.

You drank a lot when I was roasting the fish, huh?

Forget about me. You shouldn't drink too much.

You can't hold your liquor well.

I won't get myself drunk today.

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

You see,

before this, you were living with the sports team.

They pay for your food and accommodation.

How much you earn

has nothing to do with me either.

But now that you're back,

I need to feed you and give you a place to stay.

You see,

don't you think you should

pay me for the living expenses?

I was waiting for you to say that.

So, we were thinking of the same thing?

Great minds think alike.

But you even

went to the bank to get some cash.

Cash is good.

You can hold it.

Transferring money online

is meaningless.

You do care about a sense of ceremony, huh?

Kid, you're pretty romantic.

Come.

Take it slow.

Take it slow!

You must be troubled by something.

You're getting yourself drunk.

I know.

I know why

you want me to pay for the living expenses.

I'm very prideful.

If I don't pay you,

I will be too embarrassed

to live in your stupid wig shop.

Do you think

I'm pretty useless too?

It's been so many years since I was 18,

yet I'm still acting like a kid.

My real parents are nowhere to be found.

I have to spend my days in this place

with a fake father like you.

If she didn't mention it to me,

I would've forgotten

that I registered for the tennis team

when the school told us to choose what we were interested in.

On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays,

Tong Lu kept an eye on my badminton training.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I practiced tennis in secret.

During that period,

she always

wondered why

my wrist was stiff.

It's because

the two sports were conflicting in nature.

When she found out,

she destroyed my tennis racket.

She said:

"You're my son".

"You need to be a champion in badminton".

I did do my fair share of training.

But out of nowhere,

she left.

It doesn't matter.

What I'm trying to say is this.

I've decided.

I'm joining the tennis club.

I'm going to turn into a tennis player.

You mean the one Liang You'an is managing?

Chuan, I...

I have to tell you something.

You're trying to change your profession at 22 years old?

This is unheard of

in the sports industry.

But I'm the first to do it.
