Lin Zhiyuan asked Xie Wei to buy a pair of basketball shoes according to his shoe size. He arrived at Yangcheng Pharmaceutical on time at three o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Xu Xijin's secretary had been waiting for him in the guard room. When he saw Lin Zhiyuan's car coming, he took him directly to the gymnasium.

Yangcheng Pharmaceutical is indeed one of the largest companies in eastern Guangdong. The company's various buildings are very complete. It not only has an auditorium and a gymnasium, but also the facilities in the gymnasium are very advanced, including changing rooms and shower rooms.

Xu Xijin's secretary took Lin Zhiyuan for a brief tour and finally brought him into the stadium.

As soon as he entered the stadium, Lin Zhiyuan saw a group of old men wearing two sets of uniforms of different colors warming up.

Both sets of team uniforms have words on them, the green one says Baiyun Mountain, and the red one says Pearl River.

Many acquaintances.

In addition to Xu Xijin, Tang Song, chairman of China Southern Airlines, Wen Yongfu, chairman of Yuexiu Group, and Pang Zhiyong, chairman of Yangcheng Construction, who met at the party that night, were among them. Of course, there were more people Lin Zhiyuan had never met before.

When these people saw Lin Zhiyuan coming, they immediately stopped warming up and came over.

Xu Xijin raised his head and looked at Lin Zhiyuan, "Mr. Lin, you must have played basketball, right?"

"It's okay. I went to high school, college, and then to Lego. I've always been on the basketball team, but I haven't played for a long time." Lin Zhiyuan was not polite. Basketball is indeed his specialty, and he is much better than golf. Especially seeing such a group of old men, Lin Zhiyuan became more confident.

The group of bosses collectively cheered.

"That's great. Mr. Lin's stature shows that he is a professional."

"We finally have a young man on the team."

"It'll be up to you later, Mr. Lin."

Xu Xijin introduced Lin Zhiyuan to other team members.

"This is Mr. Lin from Lesteel Yangcheng Branch. Some of you have met him, some have not. It doesn't matter if you haven't. You will become familiar with him after playing two games."

A man in the Pearl River uniform, about 1.75 meters tall and about 50 years old, took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Zhiyuan, "Mr. Lin, I am Dong Lingwen. I was abroad at the last charity gala and was not able to attend. I missed the meeting. A good opportunity to meet Mr. Lin”

When Lin Zhiyuan heard the words Dong Lingwen, he was in awe. This gentleman is the boss of the famous Pearl River team. In terms of influence, he is no less than Xu Xijin. No wonder the other team is called Pearl River!

Lin Zhiyuan looked around. There were about fifteen or sixteen people in total. He was the youngest, and the youngest of the rest was forty years old.

It's been a long time since he played basketball, and Lin Zhiyuan didn't know how he felt.

He came on the court and jogged for two laps, then found a ball, carried it twice, and then shot two more baskets to get a feel for it.

After the warm-up, the two sides prepared to start the game, and Lin Zhiyuan became the favorite candidate for the Baiyunshan and Zhujiang teams.

This tall, young and strong guy also claims to be able to play basketball. Whichever team he joins, whichever team he joins will win!

For this reason, Xu Xijin, the captain of the Baiyun Mountain Team, and Dong Lingwen, the captain of the Pearl River Team, were furious. In the end, they had no choice but to choose the most primitive and fairest method - drawing lots.

As a result, Lin Zhiyuan made his debut on behalf of the Pearl River team.

Dong Lingwen looked up at Lin Zhiyuan's height, laughed, patted Lin Zhiyuan's strong arm hard, and pointed at Xu Xijin opposite him, "Mr. Lin, it will all depend on you later."

"Mr. Lin, let's give Lao Xu a hard time today and let him treat everyone to a drink."

This sentence was said very loudly, deliberately for Xu Xijin to hear.

Sure enough, Xu Xijin's face turned pale.

Lin Zhiyuan acted very modestly, "Mr. Dong, I'll try my best, but if you want to drink, I'll invite you! It's my first time participating in an event. As a younger brother, I should treat all the big brothers."

"Mr. Lin, we have a rule here. The losing team treats us to a treat, so we can't break the rule." Dong Lingwen was full of confidence, as if his side had already secured victory.

A secretary-looking person handed Lin Zhiyuan a set of Pearl River basketball uniforms. Lin Zhiyuan went to the locker room to change and then came back.

The game officially begins.

As soon as the game started, Lin Zhiyuan discovered that although the old men on the court were old, could not run, and could not jump high, they shot accurately, were cunning, and passed the ball very covertly, making them difficult to detect.

These people obviously play together often and work very well together. Their unity and cooperation have made up for their shortcomings in other aspects.

Lin Zhiyuan thought to himself, these old foxes are really thieves.

But in the face of absolute strength, these advantages disappear.

In the first half, Lin Zhiyuan's touch was still a bit rusty. He could only rely on his body to hit the inside, squeezing the old guys around, and then easily succeeded in a layup.

In the second half, these old men's physical strength declined, and Lin Zhiyuan was even more like a tiger among wolves. He played the entire second half alone. Gradually, his touch returned. He was able to make mid-range shots and three-pointers, almost relying on him alone. , beating the whole Baiyun Mountain team to a complete defeat.

At the end of the forty-minute game, everyone in the Baiyunshan team, starting from Xu Xijin, squatted on the floor and gasped.

On the other hand, everyone on the Pearl River team was calm and composed, especially Lin Zhiyuan, who looked calm on the surface but was happy in his heart. As expected, bullying people is the basis of happiness, especially bullying these powerful old men. Boundless.

Dong Lingwen, the boss of the Pearl River Team, laughed sinisterly and ran to Xu Xijin to show off, "Old Xu, are you convinced?"

Xu Xijin took a deep breath, then raised his head and cursed: "You bastard, why should I obey you? If it weren't for Mr. Lin, I would have destroyed your entire team."

"Hey, you still dare to be tough. If you are not convinced, let's fight again."

Xu Xijin stood up suddenly, "Okay, Mr. Lin will come to our team this time, do you dare?"

Dong Lingwen's eyes rolled around, "Mr. Lin has been fighting for almost forty minutes. He is a little tired. Let's not trouble him."

"You old fox..." Xu Xijin scolded with a smile.

The two of them often play together as a team and know each other very well. Bickering is a common thing, and the teams also win and lose each other.

However, Lin Zhiyuan had a huge bug today, causing the game to be one-sided.

The two men ended their bickering and sat on the sidelines drinking water and chatting.

A picture that is not easily seen on the basketball court appears.

Generally, after playing, some athletes drink mineral water or electrolyte drinks, but these bosses brought their secretaries and handed over thermos cups one by one. There were cups for tea, wolfberry, and Soaked tangerine peel and ginseng.

These bosses slowly blew the hot air rising from the edge of the thermos cup and sipped it. For a moment, Lin Zhiyuan had the illusion that this was not a gymnasium, but a city hall.

Lin Zhiyuan didn't bring anything with him. He grabbed a bottle of mineral water and drank half of it in one gulp.

Dong Lingwen hugged his shoulders affectionately, "Mr. Lin, your physical fitness is quite good! After playing a game, your face is not red and you are not out of breath. You should exercise regularly!"

"It's okay. I go swimming whenever I have time, and I also play golf on weekends."

When he heard the word golf, Dong Lingwen's eyes lit up, "It turns out that Mr. Lin also likes to play golf. Let's make an appointment one day when we have time."

These old men had rested enough. They all walked into the shower room, took a shower, changed their clothes, and then took their cars and rushed to the hotel they had booked.

It has become a tradition for them to have dinner together after every game.

This also made Lin Zhiyuan very emotional, and the cultural differences between northern and southern enterprises were reflected.

In Gian, I have never seen people gathering together to either eat and drink, sing, take a bath, or play ball and exercise.

On the other hand, here in Yangcheng, the lifestyle is much healthier.

The losing team today was the Baiyun Mountain team, so Xu Xijin was the host, and the restaurant they were treating to was a specialty shop specializing in black goats.

Xu Xijin was so wealthy that he booked the entire restaurant and only accommodated a group of them.

Three tables were put together, and fifteen or six people were crowded, drinking Maotai and eating tender and delicious mutton.

If outsiders saw it, they would hardly believe that these half-elderly old men who were talking, laughing, and completely lacking in grace actually accounted for half of the Yangcheng industrial and commercial community.

Everyone had just been eating for five minutes when the store door opened and the female reporter Bai Feishi Shiran whom she had seen at the party that day walked in.
