The top table tennis team

Zhang Ji opened the door impatiently. When he saw who was coming, his pupils dilated and his body visibly shook.

Long Teng and Zhang Ji looked at each other for a long time, and neither of them spoke the first word. Fan Zhendong was the first to break the silence, "Brother Zhang, long time no see."

When Fan Zhendong said this, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Zhang Ji moved away from Long Teng and looked at Fan Zhendong, whose appearance had hardly changed from more than ten years ago. He responded with a trembling "hmm".

Zhang Ji stepped aside to let them in. When he saw the last one coming in, his eyes rolled.

Chu Shaoqin lowered his head in embarrassment, his ears turning unusually red.

Sun Shasha, who was following him, saw Chu Shaoqin's reaction and was confused. From the reactions of the two, it was obvious that these two people were more than just acquaintances.

Since they knew each other, why was Chu Shaoqin blushing and looking so shy?

Sun Shasha followed Chu Shaoqin into the room, which had two bedrooms and a living room. It was about 70 to 80 square meters. The furnishings were extremely simple, with some old furniture and an old-fashioned TV.

"Brother Long, have some tea." Zhang Ji and Xu Xin were both one year younger than Long Teng. They had always called them brother before, but now when he heard this name, Long Teng actually felt like crying.

"Are you okay?" Long Teng raised his head and looked around. Although the whole place was old, it was not too dirty after being cleaned up.

"I, haha, am the same as always. I have no worries about food and drink. I am just a rough guy. There is no way I can compare with you celebrities," Zhang Ji joked about himself like an ordinary person.

When Long Teng heard this, he was not very happy. Instead, he felt even more bitter.

Fan Zhendong wasn't feeling much better, he said the same thing as before, "Brother Zhang, don't say that. In my heart, you will always be the best athlete."

Hearing the word "athlete", Zhang Ji paused for a few seconds, smiled, and said nothing.

"Zhang Ji, I have something to ask you right now," Long Teng exchanged a few pleasantries with Zhang Ji without hiding his purpose.

He picked up the cheap cup and took a sip of tea. "Tell me, you came to me for no reason because you have encountered a problem. Is there anything I can help you with?" The three of them had problems before because of..., but it did not prevent them from building up friendship over the years.

"A female table tennis player in Japan has learned the same domineering twist as you did back then. The techniques and routines are exactly the same. I hope you can return to coach the national team," Long Teng sat upright and expressed his intention calmly.

"I won't go back," Zhang Ji was very direct. He refused without even thinking about it.

The national team made him successful, but also destroyed him and the love between him and Xiaozao.

If it weren't for that group of old stubborn people who insisted on stopping her, Xiao Zao wouldn't have been separated from him, he wouldn't have become addicted to gambling, and Xiao Zao wouldn't have boarded the crashed plane to look for him.

It was all their fault. He hated Liu Liangguo, Ma Lin, and even didn't want to see his professional mentor Xiao Zhan again.

"Can we put aside our personal grudges? The country needs you now. Are you going to watch the table tennis that Xiaozao loves being surpassed by other countries? It is the spiritual sustenance of countless fans."

Long Teng's voice was very calm, and his speaking speed only increased significantly when he mentioned Xiaozao.

"No matter what you say, I will not go back. I hate table tennis. What does the honor of the country have to do with me?" Zhang Ji's eyes flickered when he heard Xiao Zao, but he quickly regained his composure.

Xiaozao, I haven't heard this name for a long time. In the first few years, it broke my heart every time I mentioned it.

"Aren't you afraid that Xiaozao will be sad when you say that?" Long Teng's emotions began to fluctuate. Looking at Zhang Ji's much older face, he couldn't help but ask the question he had wanted to ask for a long time.

"She will be really sad if I return to the national table tennis team. At the beginning, that group of self-righteous people threatened her with Xiaozao and my future, which eventually led to us going our separate ways. How can I return to the national table tennis team without any regrets?"

When Zhang Ji talked about this matter, he was extremely angry.

When Long Teng heard what Zhang Ji said, his pupils trembled slightly, "Do you know about that incident?" Although it was a rhetorical question, it undoubtedly gave a positive answer to the truth of the matter.

"Oh, if you don't want people to know, then don't do it." Zhang Ji has been brooding over this matter and hated Liu Liangguo and others very much.

This incident was written in Xiaozao's diary by Zhang Ji when he was sorting out her belongings after her death.

If it weren't for this diary, he would never know why Xiaozao insisted on breaking up with him. At first, he suspected that Xiaozao had fallen in love with someone else.

For this reason, he acted on impulse and beat Xu Xin severely, but it turned out that the reason was the problem of the coaching staff, which he could not accept the most.

That group of people, for their own interests and not to be affected, actually threatened this woman with the future of her two children. Thinking of this, the waves in my heart could not calm down for a long time.

Long Teng wanted to say something, but Zhang Ji was already clearly impatient and actually ordered him to leave.

Yu Man originally planned that even if she couldn't hire anyone, she could still ask for advice on the key points of the Overlord Twist, but looking at Zhang Ji's expression, it seemed that he didn't want to have much to do with them.

The door slammed open and Long Teng and others were locked outside.

"Haha," Long Teng chuckled. Sun Shasha, who was standing next to him, came forward in confusion and said, "Brother Long, are you okay?"

He was kicked out, why is he still laughing?

Long Teng looked behind the door, then looked at the clear and stupid eyes around him, "His temper hasn't changed at all over the years."

"As for the people and things I don't like, I don't care whether you accept it or not. Even the King of Hell will not give you face."

"Then what should we do?" Lin Yuan hadn't said a word for a long time. There was no way. The other party's momentum was too strong, which made him depressed.

After so many years in this industry, this is the first time I’ve been intimidated by the other party’s aura.

"Let's go back to the hotel." Before coming here, Long Teng had already made sufficient preparations, but he didn't know whether to make public the information left by Xiao Zao.

In Liu Liangguo's study, a phone rang, interrupting someone who was practicing calligraphy.

"Hello, who is this?" Liu Liangguo hated being disturbed when he was practicing calligraphy. The tone of his voice revealed that he was very angry and the consequences could be serious.

"What? They are going to find Zhang Ji." Liu Liangguo hadn't heard this name for a long time, so long that he even felt a little strange when he heard it.

Back then, he considered it a shame to have Zhang Ji as his disciple, so when everyone discussed expelling Zhang Ji from the party, he did not say a word.

Thinking about it now, he began to doubt whether his decision was correct.

"Malin, do you think our original decision was correct?" This was the first time Liu Liangguo asked Malin so directly, and both of them chose to remain silent on the phone.

Do they regret it? A little bit. The decision they made at that time ruined their two beloved disciples. If they had turned a blind eye, like they did with Sasha and Chu Shaoqin, would the result be different?
