Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 45 Fan Signatures, Returning Home in Glory (Please Read On)
Jiang Hong had just picked up his golf bag when he saw the female reporter from earlier walking over.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Congratulations, Jiang Hong, on winning the championship in this competition. How are you feeling right now?"

"Of course I'm happy to win the championship, after all, it's my first professional title!" Jiang Hong chuckled and replied.

"From what I understand, it seems that this is your first time participating in a professional competition, Jiang Hong. To achieve such results in your debut, you must have been training very hard, right?" The female reporter handed the microphone to Jiang Hong.

"Yes, my training intensity is indeed quite high!" Jiang Hong nodded, speaking the truth.

Then, changing the subject, he said, "I also need to thank many people for being able to win this championship. Before, when I was looking for training plans online, many netizens helped me and gave me a lot of pertinent advice!"

Jiang Hong has not forgotten his "internet coaches" either.

The female reporter was not a professional sports journalist and knew even less about tennis.

So it's not surprising to hear that Jiang Hong is looking for training programs online.

The female reporter asked some more irrelevant questions and was about to end the interview.

"Jiang Hong, is there anything you'd like to say at the end of this interview?"

Jiang Hong turned his head, looked at the children in the stands, and said with a smile.

"If any spectators at the stadium develop a love for tennis because of this match, I will feel a great sense of accomplishment!"

After the interview, they didn't linger; the other party needed to go back to the station to edit the footage.

In the end, it's estimated that even getting a voiceover for the competition will be difficult.

After the other party said goodbye, Jiang Hong also prepared to leave the stadium!

"Hello!" A timid voice suddenly called out to Jiang Hong.

He stopped and turned around to see two children standing beside him, looking at Jiang Hong nervously.

"Hello, two children, what can I do for you?" Jiang Hong stopped and asked with a smile.

The two children looked at each other, and one of them took a step forward, took out a tennis ball and a marker, and said in a low voice.

"Big brother, could you please sign your autograph for us?"

Jiang Hong was stunned when he heard what the other person said. He obviously did not expect that someone would ask him for an autograph!
The children saw that Jiang Hong hadn't spoken for a long time and thought he was unwilling.

A look of disappointment crossed her face. "Can't I?"

"No!" Jiang Hong immediately shook his head, a bright smile on his face, and said, "No, no, I just didn't expect you to ask me for an autograph!"

He then took the tennis ball and marker, looked up and asked, "What are your names, kids?"

"My name is Li Dong, and his name is Li Xiang!" After introducing himself, the child in front pointed to the child behind him.

It seems one is introverted and the other is extroverted!
Jiang Hong used a marker to write signatures for the two people on the tennis ball!

I chatted casually with two people.

Did you like tennis before?

"No, this is our first time watching a tennis match! We just think you're really good at tennis, and we think tennis is really interesting, so we came to ask you for your autograph!" Li Xiang immediately answered, then seemed a little embarrassed as he scratched his head.

"I hope tennis will always bring joy to Li Dong and Li Xiang – Jiang Hong!"

After the two people received their autographs, the teacher called for everyone to gather together.

Li Dong and Li Xiang quickly and carefully packed up the tennis balls, then said goodbye to Jiang Hong.

"Goodbye, Brother Jiang Hong!"

"goodbye!"

After watching the two run to the teacher, Jiang Hong felt a little conflicted.

It's really a fulfilling thing to inspire others to love tennis through your own matches!
Now that the competition was over, Jiang Hong had no intention of wandering around Shanghai.

I bought a return ticket right away!

……

Two hours later, Jiang Hong appeared at Chang'an Airport!

I took the bus back to school, and it was exactly the same as when I left!
Before even entering the dormitory, you could hear Li Hua passionately interacting with others.

"Your marksmanship is terrible. If I were you, I'd practice a few more shots under the covers tonight..."

Jiang Hong pushed open the door and walked in carrying his golf bag and suitcase!
"Sons, Daddy's back! Did you miss Daddy?"

Jiang Hong's voice instantly stunned the boys in the dormitory.

"Old Jiang, when did you get back?" "Yeah, yeah, you didn't even call us so we could pick you up!"

"..."

Jiang Hong was deeply gratified by his sons' filial piety!

"Knowing your filial piety is enough. There's no need to go out of your way to pick up Dad. After all, I'm not going away for years, it's only for a few days!"

The group forgot about the game and immediately ran over to check on Jiang Hong's match.

"Old Jiang, how did your competition go?"

As soon as Li Hua said this, the eyes of the others immediately filled with curiosity!

Jiang Hong tilted his head back, looking smug.

"A little champion, easily won!"

The group rolled their eyes at Jiang Hong's words.

After Jiang Hong left, her roommates asked her about him several times.

So I have a general understanding of the competition!

Although I heard it was the lowest level of professional tennis tournament.

Li Hua couldn't explain things like points rankings to them either.

In conclusion, winning this competition means being at the national team level, and one of the top teams at that.

As soon as these words were spoken, the group immediately understood.

Because the Olympics will be held in Beijing next year, there is a great deal of enthusiasm for sports competitions.

The roommates were somewhat incredulous at the sudden turn of events, with none of them believing that their roommate had become a professional athlete.

Li Hua patted Jiang Hong on the shoulder and said with a sorrowful expression.

"Old Jiang, it's okay to lose the game, but you absolutely mustn't let it get to you!"

They thought Jiang Hong was probably just going to experience it.

After all, this kind of experience is something you can only dream of!

Jiang Hong gave Li Hua a gesture of international goodwill!

What an unfilial son!
Jiang Hong put down his suitcase, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Open my suitcase!"

Li Hua's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.

He immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Old Jiang, I knew you were a good person. You even prepared gifts for us when you went to Shanghai for the competition!"

"Two words: 'Silver Righteousness'!"

Li Hua squatted down and quickly opened Jiang Hong's suitcase.

When I saw the silver-white trophy inside, I was momentarily stunned.

She looked up and winked at Jiang Hong.

"Old Jiang, I told you the competition results weren't ideal, there's no need for you to buy a fake trophy. Don't worry, the guys definitely won't laugh at you!"

"Yup!"

"That's right!"

After all, we were just chatting and joking around yesterday, but after a few days, he suddenly claims to be at the national team level and a professional athlete.

Who would believe that!
Jiang Hong rolled her eyes, then took out her phone and found the group photo.

"Do you believe it now?"

This photo was taken by Zhang Long, who felt that Jiang Hong's first professional championship must be of commemorative significance.

And it's uncertain whether there will be another chance to win one in the future.

Li Hua and his group stared at Jiang Hong's phone, holding the championship trophy in their hands. Beside them was a foreigner carrying a tray and a group of people who looked like leaders.

The backdrop also reads "ITF Men's Tour Shanghai Station".

Li Hua and her other roommates looked at each other in bewilderment.
