In the second week of September, Spade Q ushered in its sixth opponent, which was also its second home game. The opponent was "Duck Head Club" who came all the way from Western Sichuan Province Tianfu City.
West Sichuan is Ping Pong Power Province, this "duck-headed" team is also in the middle and upper reaches of the league. They once swept Taihu Beauty Club 3:0 in the first round of the away game, showing great power.
But Spade Q is not afraid at all.
Why?
Because Brother Geng is back!
After being away from the competition for half a month, Brother Geng finally returned.
The most important thing is that Wang Chao found that Brother Geng had no dark circles under his eyes, no swollen face, and no smell of alcohol in his mouth. He was actually in a very rare and excellent mental state.
Is this the sun coming out in the west?
"You are overthinking." After Fan Xiaoxian left, Geng Shuai faced the younger brothers and poured out all the bitterness in his belly.
"Sister Xian is so cruel, so cruel. She lied to me that there was a place that was particularly effective in psychological recuperation, and asked me to pack my bags and go stay there for a long time. It turned out that the place was completely under military management!"
"You are not allowed to smoke, drink, or go out at will. You must eat on time and take your medicine on time every day. The power in the room will be cut off from one to nine o'clock in the evening."
"Oh my god, if I hadn't known that she didn't have any bad intentions towards me, I would have called the police!"
"I told them that I just had a little stress-traumatic syndrome, and it was definitely not a mental illness. They said, I know, but going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health."
Everyone listened with great joy, and finally Lu Jia asked an important question, "Will it cost a lot of money?"
"Yes." Geng Shuai nodded, with a strange expression. "It is said to be very expensive, but the place was contacted by Sister Xian, and the money was advanced by Sister Xian. They said it would be deducted from my salary. I don't know how much it will be deducted..."
Geng Shuai was in superb form that day, beating Duck Head Club horribly in one single. After three games, he only scored eight points in total. Especially in the first game, Geng Shuai was the strongest, beating the opponent 11:1.
As for the point he got, I don't know whether it was Brother Geng's carelessness as a human being or a desperate blow from the opponent's player.
In short, Duck Head Club, who was considered a strong team by the outside world, got their first 3:0 since the start of the game in Sequoia Stadium, and was brutally killed by Geng Shuai and Wang Chao.
Sichuan Army has always had a hot temper. After losing the third doubles game, the opponent's second singles player directly threw his racket on the table, and then kicked a big hole in the baffle next to him, which showed how depressed he was.
Impulsivity is naturally punished. The player was suspended for five games on the spot and fined 10,000. Basically, he will not be able to come out again in September.
None of the above matters.
The important thing is that after the game, as soon as Wang Chao left the stadium, Fan Xiaoxian came to him mysteriously.
"Wang Chao, there is someone who wants to see you." Fan Xiaoxian's expression was extremely complicated, including three parts surprise, three parts surprise, and four parts confusion.
Wang Chao asked, "Who?"
Fan Xiaoxian didn't say anything, but took him straight to the door of a private room in a high-end hotel near the stadium. He pointed to the exquisite screen in front of him that was painted with Chinese paintings and inscribed with ancient poems and said, "Go in, he will be waiting for you inside."
Wang Chao said curiously, "Aren't you going in?"
"He didn't let me in." Fan Xiaoxian gave a rare twist at this moment and whispered, "I'm afraid he won't be happy..."
Wang Chao Question marks popped up one after another in his mind.
Sister Xian actually knows how to twist?
Isn't this a fake?
Who is that person inside, that he can make the fierce Sister Xian so awe-inspiring?
At this moment, he wanted to borrow a famous quote that Brother Geng once said, "If I hadn't known that Sister Xian had no bad intentions for me, I would have called the police."
The man in the private room is not a tall man, nor does he have bloody mouth and fangs. He is a bit older, has dark skin, and gray hair. He has an ordinary appearance and is so skinny that he would not even make a splash if thrown into the crowd.
But when Wang Chao first saw it, his heart skipped a beat.
He felt that this person looked familiar, and he must have seen the picture online.
But he was not sure, so he said, "Are you always..."
This man was surprisingly cheerful. He stood up, stretched out a hand across the table, and said, "Hello Wang Chao, I'm from the Imperial Capital. My name is Qin Huachang."
Yes, he is Qin Huachang.
National team coach.
The leader of the Qin clan.
Master of Sun Tianlong and Lin Li.
Qin Huachang is known as the number one coach in the Chinese table tennis world today.
If He Jingping is compared to a leader in the table tennis arena, then Qin Huachang is undoubtedly Martial Arts Alliance Leader.
Such a person actually came to Jiangcheng City silently on this late summer afternoon and sat in front of Wang Chao.
Wang Chao almost took a deep breath to calm down the shock in his heart, but he couldn't because there was a very strange smell in the private room.
Very smelly...
He shook hands with Qin Huachang and at the same time looked at the table between the two. What he saw was a plate of square, black things that looked like pieces of gray stone pulled out of the boiler.
"Can you bear it?" Qin Huachang grinned. "I like the stinky tofu made by Master Jiangcheng Ju the best. Every time I come to Jiangcheng, I must order one."
As he spoke, he let go of Wang Chao's hand, picked up the chopsticks from the table, picked up a piece of stinky tofu to his lips, first bit open the black outer skin with his teeth, then squinted his eyes slightly, sipped the juice, making a loud sound, and finally threw it all into his mouth, sighed, and began to chew deliciously.
At this moment, Wang Chao was quite dumbfounded.
He remembered that the last time he watched World Cup final's live broadcast, Brother Da Ma specifically mentioned that Qin Huachang had a heart disease.
Can people with heart disease eat fried and heavily salted things like stinky tofu?
"Sit down, why are you standing? I don't want to eat people." Qin Huachang was quite casual, not caring about the identity of both parties. He even took the initiative to pick up the teapot and pour tea for Wang Chao, saying, "Do you like this thing? Come on, try it, try it. Don't think it smells bad, maybe you will like it after just one bite."
Wang Chao was startled. Seeing that he could not stop him, Qin Huachang had already brought the teapot in front of him. He could only stand up, hold the cup with both hands and catch it, and asked, "Are you always looking for something to do with me?"
"Of course there's something wrong. I'm here to investigate." Qin Huachang said with a serious face, "You still owe me an explanation... Last time Old He begged me to accept a closed disciple. I saw that he begged sincerely, so he graciously agreed. But in the end, he actually told me that the matter was wrong because the kid looked down on me."
He paused and glared at Wang Chao: "Tell me, in what way am I, Old Qin, worse than He Jingping?"
Wang Chao has a strange expression.
If I remember correctly, the words "sincerity" and "great compassion" should have come from what he said to Wu Li in the city team cafeteria?
Who spread such shameful chuunier remarks?
He heard a strong sense of ridicule in Qin Huachang's words, and naturally knew that Qin Huachang was not really asking for guilt, so he smiled and said, "Then tell me, what makes you better than Senior He?"
Qin Huachang raised his eyebrows and suddenly became interested in talking.
He asked Wang Chao: "Do you know what 38 times 76 equals?"
This topic made Wang Chao a little confused, and he shook his head subconsciously.
Qin Huachang said, "It's equal to 2888. Then let me ask you again, what is 77 times 23?"
Wang Chao naturally continued to shake his head. He was not from Olympic Math Class. He was really not good at this thing.
Qin Huachang said, "It's equal to 1771. Look, isn't it very fast? I'm just a mathematician."
Wang Chao said, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Qin Huachang said proudly, "Old He is not born with arithmetic skills. He has to use a calculator for addition and subtraction within 100. I can do two-digit multiplication casually - what is he comparing to me?"
Wang Chao just felt astonished. "So, the national team coach is usually better than this?"
"That's not the case." Qin Huachang said a little more seriously, "Let's be honest, I have a better eye for selecting apprentices than him. Look at Sun Tianlong, the number one in the history of Chinese table tennis Man, is he awesome? Look at Lin Li. At the beginning, everyone said that he was not talented enough and his future was limited, but now World Ranking Second is ranked second in the team. Does this count as my contribution?"
"This can be attributed to your coaching, not your good vision." Wang Chao shook his head and said, "Senior He told me that all the national team coaches back then unanimously recognized that Luo Jiu was more talented."
Qin Huachang smiled, somewhat meaningfully, and said, "Wang Chao, you were fooled very badly by Old He... That guy is the best at brainwashing. Look at Luo Jiu, you are almost lame after being fooled by him. You can't repeat his mistakes."
Wang Chao blinked. "Isn't it?"
Qin Huachang shook his head. "You only know that back then everyone recognized Luo Jiu as having the highest talent. Do you know who originally spread this sentence?"
Wang Chao laughed and said, "Could it be you?"
"Yes, it's me." Qin Huachang pointed at his nose, extremely proud. "When Six Little Dragons joined the team, Cai Guodong asked me who I was most optimistic about. I deliberately said that Luo Jiu had the best talent. He asked Old Zhu again. Old Zhu was not sure at first, but listen to me. So he said that Luo Jiu has the best talent. As soon as he opened his mouth, Old He immediately followed his senior brother. When the other coaches saw that we Qin and Zhu factions all agreed, how could we all follow suit? Good guy, the situation was such that the truth was always in the hands of the majority of people. Whoever dared to object was blind!"
Wang Chao was stunned.
"So, do you understand?" Qin Huachang chuckled and said, "Old He did not hesitate to cheat in every possible way in front of me in order to steal Luo Jiu, the most talented person. In the end, he promised to treat me to Imperial Capital Grand Hotel for a month. He didn't Knowing that I originally wanted Lin Li, according to the rule that a coach can only lead one player, Luo Jiu was originally his... You see, I just used a little trick, not only defrauded him of many meals, but also defrauded him of many years of gratitude. This is wisdom!"
Thanks to "Ji Ming" for the book coin reward.
