Lin Yiyang covered his eyes with the back of his hand, suppressing this impulsive thought.
The relationship between the two has been confirmed for more than a year and a month now, but the days of seeing each other are very few, and it has only been 28 days until today. Because he rarely saw him, he tried his best to let her see the best of himself. And Lin Yiyang who is also irritable and frustrated, decadent and unconfident, has bad mood and depression, she has hardly seen it.
Moreover, she has just graduated and is twenty-two years old. If he were Yin Guo's parents, they would not be happy that their daughter entered married life so early.
Lin Yiyang remained silent, but Yin Guo fell asleep in a daze. After all, it was a long flight back, and I was exhausted.
In the dream, the knock on the door was louder than the other, Yin Guo opened his eyes in a daze, Lin Yiyang was also awakened by the knock on the door, turned over and sat up, and waited half a minute before opening the door.
Outside the door, Wu Wei coughed: "Meng Xiaodong called Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang came to me, and asked me to wake you up... Don't say it's too late, I just returned home today, and the family is still waiting."
Lin Yiyang raised his wrist to look at his watch: "Got it."
I thought I would wake up in the afternoon, but I didn't expect to sleep until dark.
After Wu Wei passed on the words, he was acquainted with each other.
Lin Yiyang closed the door, took out a bottle from a box of mineral water in the corner, and unscrewed it to moisten his throat.
Why did you sleep until dark
Yin Guo didn't expect that he and Lin Yiyang could sleep together until this time. She rubbed her shoulders and walked to the window to breathe fresh air. From this angle, she could see the big iron gate and the two-story building next to it.
After looking at the scenery for a while, he sighed: "Your place is much bigger than the old Beicheng."
"In the past there was only the second floor," Lin Yiyang turned on the light, "the year I quit, Jiang Yang took over the team, and everything in front of you is his credit." This Yin Guo knew, and his cousin also said it.
Jiang Yang was very young when he took over, just in his early twenties, and it took more than ten years for the East New Town in the area.
You can't make much money, it all depends on your passion and true love.
"His arm surgery should have been done a long time ago, and he has been dragging it all because of the club," Lin Yiyang said with emotion, "His best ten years were distracted and distributed to Dongxincheng, otherwise his personal performance would be worse. better."
He sincerely hopes that Jiang Yang can be free for a few years and simply play games to compensate Jiang Yang for his hard work over the past ten years.
"Why did you suddenly pick up Dongxincheng this time?" This was Yin Guo's confusion all the way back.
"I didn't want to take it at the beginning," Lin Yiyang said. "One was that he was ashamed of the teacher, and the other was that he had a different philosophy from Jiang Yang. He wanted to use the appeal of star players to grow the industry. I wanted to cultivate a style like snooker. In the United Kingdom, nine-ball has a cultural atmosphere in the United States. So when I returned home, I wanted to do it alone, but after talking with the teacher twice, I found that the teacher supported me."
The original words of the teacher at that time were only five words—do as soon as you think of it.
Elder He and Lin Yiyang had the most similar tempers, they were the most able to convince him, and naturally changed his mind.
***
Because Meng Xiaodong was urging her, Lin Yiyang didn't let her stay longer.
The two went downstairs together.
At this time, the first floor of the East New City is open to the public, and there will be fans from the society to play. Some players from poor families in the East New City will do sparring and earn some extra money.
There are also such players in Beicheng, and they are charged by the hour.
Yin Guo went to the lobby and saw a familiar figure, it turned out to be Liu Xiran, the runner-up of the US Open... She came back today, but she didn't go home to rest, but was here as a sparring partner to make money.
"Isn't she alone?" Yin Guo remembered that this contestant fought alone.
"She used to be from Dongxincheng, but she retired. Because her family was sick and needed money, she came out to fight again," Lin Yiyang explained to her, "Jiang Yang asked her to come here for free to train, and also registered her as a sparring partner. But it does not count that she is from Dongxin City, so her bonus does not need to be commissioned to Dongxin City."
This was also the last person Jiang Yang took in before he stepped down from his big job.
Hearing what Lin Yiyang said, she admired Jiang Yang even more. Being able to lead Dongxin City for more than ten years, from adolescence to middle age, is by no means something ordinary people can do.
In Jiang Yang, she saw the real "morality of the rivers and lakes", which is also the characteristic of Dongxincheng.
On the way to send her home, Lin Yiyang was always wearing a Bluetooth headset, making phone calls while driving.
Hang up one, and the next one starts immediately.
Yin Guo listened silently, not wanting to disturb him by making noise, but just staring at the road ahead, afraid that he might drive by mistake.
Obviously she misunderstood Lin Yiyang's point - Lin Yiyang would never go wrong on the way of Yin Guo's house. As soon as the car turned into the community, Yin Guo said, "Go to the underground garage. There are few people there, so I can talk to you more."
Lin Yiyang turned the steering wheel, walked out of the community, and drove into the underground garage through the side door.
The past two days have been cloudy and rainy, and the garage is semi-open, resulting in heavy water vapor.
It was the first time for Lin Yiyang to get out of the car, and according to Yin Guo's instructions, he found a parking space for their family.
"Remember this location," she pointed to a stairway behind her, "go in through that door and take the elevator, which is the corridor of our house."
Lin Yiyang glanced back and nodded.
He pretended to have too many things in his head all night, and sent his girlfriend outside the house. Just after he realized it, he took Yin Guo to Dongxin City, and he didn't say a word except to lie on her lap and sleep all afternoon. The rare conversation is all about Dongxincheng.
He looked at her hand holding the backpack, held it, and inserted his fingers between her fingers without saying a word, and said hoarsely, "I don't have time to accompany you."
Those four words almost forced Yin Guo's tears, and his heart ached so badly.
She pressed his with the other hand: "I want to accompany you...but I can't comfort people. I don't want you to accompany me at all. "
He smiled.
It is enough that you are here.
***
After leaving Yin Guo's house, Lin Yiyang went back to his ball room and packed half a box of clothes.
Sun Yao sadly made Lin Yiyang a piece of spaghetti, fried a few chicken wings, watched Lin Yiyang finish eating, put away the plate, followed him step by step out of the club, and stood on the side of the street: "You Do you really want to go?"
Lin Yiyang patted him on the head: "I won't leave you alone, wait until I get through this."
Sun Yao still felt something was wrong, mainly because he was reluctant to part with Lin Yiyang.
He followed Lin Yiyang back to China because he wanted to do things with him. Although the power is greater now, he is still flustered, and he is even more flustered before Lin Yiyang sits in charge to support him.
"The other side just took over in the past two months, and some are busy." Lin Yiyang patted his back heavily, "Don't let me lose the chain here. I'm exhausted, and it's no good for you."
"Oh."
Sun Yao looked aggrieved as Lin Yiyang's car disappeared into the night street.
***
It was already 8:30 when Lin Yiyang returned to the club.
In the office on the second floor, three meetings were held in a row, with all the coaches, the leaders of several teams of athletes, and finally the people in charge of the logistics, finance, cafeteria and dormitory of Dongxin City.
ten o'clock.
Lin Yiyang finally walked out of his office and took a hot shower in the public bathroom in the second-floor building next door.
eleven o'clock.
In the night, as the person in charge of Dongxin City, he finally took a breath.
Walking out of the door of the small building on the second floor, he was wearing black sports trousers and a white T-shirt. He was clean and fresh, with only a black watch on his right wrist. He walked along the path to the main building.
Dongxincheng has changed, and it hasn't changed.
When he left, only the plaque of "Dongxincheng Ball Club" hung outside the door on the second floor of the main building. The top floor was a warehouse, the first floor was a bathroom, and the second floor here was a deserted land.
The fence has not been changed. He took advantage of the moonlight to take a closer look. It must have been painted new, but every ten meters on a small brick wall, there are still lettering left by the old friends playing together.
It is still there today, someone must have specially ordered it to stay, he guessed, it was either the teacher or Jiang Yang.
After entering the main building, the children of the youth group had already gone home at this time.
Near the rest area on the first floor, sitting around the coffee table are all the brothers except Jiang Yang. They all went to rest for half a day after they were disbanded this morning, and now they are all back——
Chen Anan was still jet-lagged, sitting drowsily on the innermost side of the couch, leaning her head back and dozing off against the wall; Lin Lin was reviewing the training records of the nine-ball game in the afternoon. She was the person in charge of the nine-ball game. Routine work; Fan Wenchu and Wu Wei are playing, practicing their hands at the table closest to the rest area.
Lin Yiyang chose a single sofa to sit down, everyone gathered around the coffee table and waited for him to talk about business.
"I just took over, and I don't want to make a big fuss, just a few preparations, everyone discusses and discusses together," he sincerely announced the plan under the banner of "discussion", "Starting this year, the snooker team will have a meeting every year. Thirty places will be sent to the UK for closed training."
The birthplace of snooker is in the UK, where both the cultural atmosphere and the training methods are the best. Therefore, famous players will go to train at their own expense every year, or live there directly. After all, the most valuable snooker games are also there. Although it is the most cutting-edge training method, the cost is not low.
The first thing Lin Yiyang did, everyone understood, was to spend money.
"Also, I want to host a new event," Lin Yiyang said again, "Now this city will start."
Well, it costs money again.
Hosting a competition is not a small matter. There are often precedents where sponsors withdraw funds and the competition disappears directly. From Lin Yiyang's point of view, to undertake, it must not be as simple as one session, it must continue.
He wants to expand the influence of this industry, and he really needs to start with competitions to attract the public.
He saw that everyone understood, and he talked about the third point: "The last one is relatively simple. I want to systematically build our star players and coaches." Lin Yiyang propped his elbows on his knees while playing with the green Xiao Qiaofan explained, "For example, our coach Xin needs to be promoted. He has no education, graduated from elementary school, has done farm work, threshed wheat, worked as a miner, and opened a small shop. , only started to learn billiards at the age of 22. But who is the apprentice he taught?"
Lin Yiyang pointed at Lin Lin: "I taught Lin Lin, who is number two in the world and won three championships in one year. And your junior sister, isn't she ranked number one in the world?"
Lin Lin nodded: "My teacher is very good at teaching people."
Although this coach's personal best ranking is the national champion, it does not prevent him from being able to teach outstanding students.
Lin Yiyang went on to say: "If we want the public to pay attention to a sports event and let the whole people see us, we must share these legendary experiences. Only in this way will we have a steady stream of backup forces, and young people will join. Although this road will be very long, But we can take one step at a time, maybe in 20 or 30 years, our billiards will be able to reach the same status as table tennis and diving."
Lin Yiyang paused for a while, and then said, "Dongxincheng is willing to take an extra step for this industry without utilitarianism."
After Lin Yiyang finished speaking, he stretched his waist and picked a grapefruit from the fruit plate on the coffee table.
I stopped talking and started peeling and eating, which means: I'm done talking.
Of course, everyone understands that the third thing is to spend money.
Whoever has nothing to do will give you publicity, and it will all be spent on money. In the past, these coaches and players were famous in the circle, and the public did not pay attention. It's good to have one or two out of the circle once in a while.
"East New Town's money-burning plan for the next three years." Fan Wencong summed it up.
"So where does the money come from?" Chen An'an asked honestly.
Lin Yiyang smiled harmlessly, and took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket. The next second, everyone's mobile phone rang.
"I have taken the time these two days to give you the game itinerary. Everyone is different. Please read carefully and make arrangements." He said lightly. Of course his schedule is fuller.
The dense competition, covering both domestic and foreign, 60% of them are people like them who will not go in the past.
Well-known players usually go to big competitions in order to earn points. What Lin Yiyang listed are all new competitions from various countries. In order to attract well-known players, the organizers give a lot of bonuses. Unfortunately, they don't count the points for world rankings, so they usually don't go.
Lin Yiyang's attitude is very obvious, those who are capable will work harder, and it is time to start making money.
Everyone who had grasped the spirit put down their mobile phones one after another, and began to divide up the edible food left in the fruit plate. Only Chen An'an was still carefully checking the itinerary: "But I'm retired."
Everyone looked at Chen An'an at the same time: What are you thinking? Brothers make money, you still want to bask in the sun
Chen An'an coughed, found a bunch of grapes, plucked off a few grapes, and ate them silently.
Lin Yiyang felt that the conversation tonight was effective and efficient, so he ate the remaining grapefruit in a few mouthfuls. Two unexpected WeChat messages popped up on the phone.
Fruit in the forest: My grandma said...
Fruit in the forest: Please come to my house for dinner on weekends.
***
Yin Guo was lying on her little sofa, eating grapefruit.
Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, he guessed that he had misunderstood, thinking that he was hinting that he would come to see the parents. She finished eating the grapefruit in small bites, and couldn't hold back, and texted him again.
Lin Liguo: I was chatting with my grandma just now, and she praised you a few words.
Lin Lizhiguo: Probably... just talking.
Lin Liguo: She also heard from my brother that you took care of him in New York for the past year, and she wanted to thank you.
Fruit in the forest: Don't think too complicated.
Lin Liguo: If you don't want to come, I'll tell her tomorrow and I'll say hello.
He wanted to explain again, but he suddenly responded.
Lin: Good.
Lin: The weekend passed.
Lin: Friday night? Saturday
Lin: Sunday is fine too. Any time is fine.
