Tang Yu slapped her own father and then left the country the next day.
As a result, on the third day of the competition when Tang Yu qualified for the main event, she heard some news.
Tang's father died in a car accident.
"Ayu, don't let this affect your mood for the competition. It's a good thing he's dead; at least you won't be bothered by him anymore."
Tang Jing's tone on the phone was a mix of sadness and relief, a complex mix of emotions.
Tang Yu, on the contrary, became excited.
"Sister, I feel like my luck is about to change. After hearing the news of my father's passing, I feel like my life is about to take off, and I feel like I'm sure I'll do well in this competition."
After all, a good mood can make people perform at their best.
Tang Jing understood Tang Yu's subtext, and she couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm relieved that you think that way."
Chapter 3 Tennis Entertainment
She was worried that after winning the prize money, her father would go to the media and say that she was an unfilial daughter.
Although she didn't care much, it was still a very upsetting thing.
But things are different now. The stumbling block in her life has disappeared, and she can focus on her career.
As for her mother, she wasn't as shameless as her father.
Because I have a new family, I'm more concerned about saving face.
Tang Yu, whose luck had turned around, made a stunning debut in the subsequent main competition.
This person, who qualified through a wildcard entry into the main tournament, surprisingly made it into the round of 16 with an unstoppable momentum.
When the news reached China, people in the sports world were shocked.
Although Tang Yu was previously called a genius, that was only in the youth group competition, so no one knew what level Tang Yu was at in international competitions.
But to make it to the top 16 on their first try is terrifying.
So CCTV reporters all rushed over to report on Tang Yu's round of 16 to 8 competition.
Because no one had high hopes for her, Tang Yu didn't even get interviewed by reporters back then.
Are you confident about the upcoming matches?
"Actually, this is my first time competing abroad and my first time playing on this court. I'm still a bit unaccustomed to it because I don't have much experience with this court. I can only say that I'll give it my all."
The main problem is that Tang Yu has never fought against world-class athletes, so he has no idea what level his opponent is.
She really couldn't predict what the outcome of her next match would be.
Tang Yu's opponents are also at a loss.
Because she was a rising tennis star who suddenly emerged, no one knew how strong she was or what her playing style was, and the coach couldn't design tactics based on Tang Yu's characteristics.
In short, both sides were at a loss, and the first set was a period of probing each other.
"Why don't you change coaches after the Australian Open? I don't think I can help you much anymore."
Although Tang Yu won in the round of 16, it was a difficult victory for him, as the two played for three hours.
Tao Fang could tell that Tang Yu's skill was not the problem; his only problem was a lack of experience. As a result, he sometimes couldn't judge the opponent's tactics and would misjudge when receiving the ball.
Therefore, Tang Yu now needs a strong coaching team to help her analyze all her future opponents.
"I'm almost at the peak of my career, and you decide to run away at this time? Are you stupid?"
"Come with me to the top now, and your net worth will skyrocket."
Tang Yu felt that she learned very quickly, and all her difficulties were due to a lack of experience.
However, this kind of experience can be gained in actual combat. Once you've fought someone, you'll be able to judge how to fight that opponent next time.
"I'm afraid you'll regret it."
After Tao Fang finished speaking, Tang Yu laughed.
"Coach, I won't regret it, because I will win a Grand Slam sooner or later. After all, I have the talent, and no one can stop me."
CCTV5 also broadcast the quarterfinals live.
Everyone was curious about how far Tang Yu would go, whether she would be eliminated in the quarterfinals or make it into the semifinals.
The Australian Open matches happened to be held in the morning in China, so the viewership for this quarterfinal match skyrocketed early in the morning.
After all, the Beijing Olympics will be held this year, so the whole nation is quite enthusiastic about the Olympic Games.
People didn't pay much attention to tennis before, but things changed when players from our own country started playing.
The match was extremely intense, with Tang Yu's opponent being tennis star Venus Williams.
No one expected that Tang Yu would actually win.
Although they won at the last minute, the result excited the viewers watching the live stream.
Even the sports newspapers the following day featured Tang Yu's professional career under the headline "A Prodigy Tennis Girl Emerges."
This immediately caused Chinese netizens to get excited, hoping that Tang Yu could win a Grand Slam.
On this day, Tang Yu gave another interview to CCTV before the competition.
"I heard that your father passed away not long ago, when you were competing, but judging from your recent competition results, it seems that it has not been affected."
Is it because you want to get good grades to comfort your father's spirit in heaven?
This question left Tang Yu with a complicated expression. She looked at the reporter carefully for a few moments, and finally sighed inwardly.
As expected, CCTV has too many cronies, so every interview is utterly devoid of substance.
The other party probably wanted to put on an emotional performance, suggesting that the father's death inspired the daughter to work hard on the field.
This is a popular tactic these days.
But Tang Yu is a very direct person, and she doesn't want to hide her terrible relationship with her father.
She didn't want her father to benefit from her fame, even though he was dead.
“My relationship with my father is not good. From the time I can remember, he was always out fooling around. When he came home, he would argue with my mother. My sister and I rarely had a full meal because these two people didn’t know that children would go hungry.”
So when I learned of his passing, I was actually very happy, and even more passionate on the field.
Anyone would be happy because a person they dislike has left this world.
After Tang Yu finished speaking, the reporters were stunned, but Tang Yu didn't have time to chat with them.
So, to the astonishment of the reporters, Tang Yu turned and left.
Not long after, the interview was broadcast on television, shocking viewers at the time.
Do athletes always speak so bluntly? Are they illiterate and lack common sense?
In that somewhat conservative era, many people were so angry that they cursed and insulted Tang Yu for being unfilial in the comments section of news articles on social media portals.
Some people mocked Tang Yu for becoming arrogant and conceited after achieving some success, saying that such a person was bound to suffer a setback.
However, Tang Yu, who was far away abroad, was unaware of this matter, and even if she had, she wouldn't have cared.
She would never allow herself to achieve success and fame, only to have news reports claiming that her father's death inspired her to work harder, because seeing such news would truly disgust her.
Tang Jing was a little angry, but she didn't have time to be angry at the moment.
Because she had already bought the fastest plane ticket to Melbourne, Tang Yu had already advanced to the finals after answering the reporter's question on the same day.
This directly proved those who mocked her for her youthful arrogance wrong.
At a time like this, how could Tang Jing not come to watch?
While the criticism from netizens and the media is infuriating, witnessing the little sister's moment of glory is more important.
Even though Luo Zijun warmly invited her to spend the New Year together, Tang Jing only wanted to witness her younger sister's award-winning moment and then spend the New Year with her sister.
There will definitely be no TV drama plot, but it's normal for Tang Jing to know these two people, after all, they had known each other for more than ten years in 17.
He Han is a very competent mentor; Tang Jing gained excellent workplace experience. [Men are used and then discarded.]
Chapter 4 My First Half of Life Tang Jing 4
"Why do you tell the truth on TV? It makes a lot of people think you're too arrogant and don't know how to be grateful."
After the two sisters met at the hotel, Tang Jing reluctantly spoke up, although she understood why her sister wanted to tell the truth.
"I could tolerate lying once in my life, but I have to give interviews after every game and then appear on talk shows."
Do I have to tell a lie every time to thank Dad for raising me?
These days, there are bound to be bad parents. It's better for me to tell the truth than to be proven wrong later and have everyone call me a liar.
After Tang Yu finished speaking, Tang Jing stopped dwelling on the matter.
"I just felt sorry for you being criticized. How could the audience understand what we sisters went through?"
But you are an athlete, and your performance on the field speaks for itself. The reason why there is so much discussion about you in China this time is mainly because you are too outspoken. The second reason is that you don't have an agent.
"How about I become your manager after I graduate this year?"
Tang Jing didn't understand the sports world before, but since her younger sister started playing, in addition to figuring out the rules of tennis, she has also figured out the rules of fame and fortune in the sports world.
A strong agent is essential to protect an athlete's public image and secure endorsements.
"Sis, I'm touched that you think this way, but I don't recommend that you do it."
Are you worried that I lack experience? I should be able to learn this very quickly; you should trust my learning ability.
Hearing Tang Jing say that, Tang Yu smiled and spoke up.
"That's not the case. You studied finance for your bachelor's and master's degrees. If you were my broker, you could certainly do an excellent job."
But after my sister and I made a lot of money, we need connections and experience to figure out how to invest in the financial market and how to make our money grow.
