At the end of September, Ma Dongmei, who had just participated in the Perfect Open Open, flew back to the domestic capital to prepare for the training camp.

After two years of accumulation, she has already emerged in various WTA events. In addition to being an active member of the Grand Slam events, she has also participated in many WTA Crown Jewel events, such as the Madrid Masters and the Miami Masters.

Over the course of the year, her schedule is roughly to attend the Australian Open in January, the Miami Masters in March, the Madrid Masters in early May, the French Open from late May to June, and Wimbledon from late June to early July.

I will participate in the US Open at the end of August and beginning of September, and the remaining months with no fixed arrangements will be spent on training, vacation, recovery, or occasionally participating in some small events.

At the beginning of this year, Ma Dongmei officially ended her training at the img academy and hired a professional coaching team to serve herself so that she can continue to improve her level in the future.

Based on her current competition frequency and results, the annual team expenses of two million yuan can still be afforded. Even if not, she still has the full support of her agency.

Zhang Jin's investment in Ma Dongmei was not for making money, but for her to obtain more and better results and honors.

And compared to Ma Dongmei's personal investment, his investment in the Daxiang team is nothing compared to it. In order for Wang Duoyu to lead the team to the top league, the money invested in the Daxiang club is enough to support Ma Dongmei until she retires.

.

Although Wang Duoyu and Zhuang Qiang have been steadily playing the role of bad luck for the team, the team is always under the influence of the mysterious Eastern power.

But fortunately, Zhang Jin invested enough money. As the old saying goes, money can make all the difference. With the strong money injection, no matter how much money the two of them can lose, it will not be as good as the team can score. Daxiang

The team has been steadily rising and has played all the way to League B. It’s just a matter of the last year of hard work before it can enter the top league of League A!

Ma Dongmei trained in China for two or three months. After the training, she returned home to Xihong City. It had been four years since she left home to train abroad. During this period, she had only come back four times. But this time she did not have to stay in the country.

Separated from the mother who depended on each other for life.

Zhang Jin personally drove to the airport to pick him up. After the two exchanged pleasantries, Ma Dongmei got into the passenger seat.

"I haven't been back much in four years, and my hometown has changed a lot! I remember when I came back last time, the airport expressway didn't have this overpass, right?" Ma Dongmei turned to look out the window at the scenery along the way, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Did I read that correctly? Hey, isn't that an advertisement that was endorsed when it first became popular a few years ago? Why is it still endorsed now? Where are you parents? You have a painless abortion and your child's whereabouts are unknown! Look at Charlotte

That stupid fake smile on his face, hahaha!"

Zhang Jin glanced at the tall billboard next to the highway interchange in the rearview mirror and said, "I've heard about this. Back then, Charlotte signed a five-year contract with the hospital without telling him, and then he got a

Million. Later, when Charlotte became famous, she wanted to pay liquidated damages and tear up the contract, but the hospital refused. She would rather not take 10 million liquidated damages and continue advertising until the end of the contract."

"That was really hard for Charlotte. Last time, my sisters from the national team showed me Charlotte's variety show The Emperor is Coming. When the host asked me about this commercial, my face became very ugly on the spot.

It’s ugly.” Ma Dongmei laughed.

Zhang Jin asked: "How are you doing with the national team? Is everything going well?"

He has no influence on the national team's affairs at all, so he has no way to help Ma Dongmei solve her troubles or problems. He can only support her as much as possible from behind.

Ma Dongmei said: "I'm doing okay in the national team. Coach Chen Yan takes care of me and I don't have any difficulties in training. To be honest, the training in China is really not as sophisticated as that in IMG Academy. There are some rough training methods that make me feel uncomfortable."

I feel very uncomfortable. But fortunately they allow me to train independently, which is pretty good. But there is one thing that makes me very frustrated and angry."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Jin asked.

"One of the team members quit during the training camp."

"Who is it? Why are you quitting?" Zhang Jin was a little curious. He didn't know much about the domestic situation during this period.

"Li Na, I heard it was because of injuries." Ma Dongmei said, "After she retired, she went to university to study journalism."

"Injury? It's not serious. Even if you are injured, you can rest assured. There is no need to retire, right? Do you really believe this reason?" Zhang Jin said.

Ma Dongmei said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Anyway, I have left the national team and this circle."

At this point, she suddenly sighed, "Maybe I am somewhat responsible for this, if I hadn't been describing to the three of them my experience of participating in various WTA events around the world, and how much bonus I earned.

, it probably won’t make their minds so impetuous.”

"It has nothing to do with you. Even without you, they will face this kind of problem sooner or later." Zhang Jin comforted.

He didn't know anything else, but he still knew one thing. That was that after the 2008 Olympics, several top tennis players headed by Li Na officially broke away from the national system and went solo, embarking on a professional path that was self-financing.

Firstly, it is to allow more freedom to optimize one's coaching team and seek breakthroughs to the limit. At the same time, competition bonuses no longer need to be turned over at 65%, but only between 8% and 12%.

When participating in international competitions, you can arrange your time more freely, and you don't have to worry about following arrangements and focusing on the overall situation.

Of course, in the face of major national events, they still put on their jerseys and fight for the country!

After flying solo, Li Na made history by reaching the quarter-finals of the US Open in 2009. In 2010, he reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open, rising to the top ten in the world for the first time. Later, he won singles at the French Open and Australian Open.

The championship is an unprecedented achievement in Asia and shocked the world!

"Forget it, let's not talk about these things that we can't change." Ma Dongmei waved her hand, "By the way, I haven't come back to attend class reunions in the past four years. I don't even know what the situation is like with my high school classmates now. You know the class

situation?"

Zhang Jin shook his head and said: "I'm not sure. After graduating from high school, some people go to college and some go out to work. In addition to the first-year class reunion, there were many people there. Unfortunately, Qiu Ya and I went to study abroad and were unable to attend.

Later, Charlotte was always busy and had no time to organize class reunions, and other people did not have such a strong appeal, so gradually the whole class did not get together."

Ma Dongmei felt regretful: "What a pity, apart from Yuan Hua studying at the National People's University and Zhang Yang working as an assistant with Xia Luo, there is no news about Dachun, Mengte, Sisi, Beibei and Wanwan at all."

"I know Dachun. He is playing as a player in the city's football team. Meng Te seems to have gone to Thailand to work as a tour guide." Zhang Jin said.

As for the other three, he didn't have any information. Although Beibei and Wanwan were Qiuya's best friends in high school, they had less contact after college, and he didn't know what they were doing. It was said that they went to Magic City after graduation.

.

"Mengte went to Thailand to be a tour guide? That fulfilled his dream for many years." Ma Dongmei smiled, "On the contrary, Dachun made me a little bit surprised that someone like him could also play in the football team. That's right.

Only Dosun’s team would want him! Hahaha, it’s probably just a third-rate amateur team!”

"..." Zhang Jin was speechless, "Ma Dongmei, do you look down on Dachun so much?"

"It's not that I look down on Dachun, I just think that the team's recruitment director must be very clever!"

"Haha." Zhang Jin gave her a reluctant smile.

"After I met Dachun, I made sure to ask him how he was playing in the team and whether he kicked the ball into his own goal. By the way, I asked him to introduce to me which master recruited him to score a goal.

In the team, hahaha!" The more Ma Dongmei said it, the funnier she became!

Zhang Jin drove a BMW SUV down the airport expressway, turned directly onto the Ring Expressway, crossed a bridge and turned onto Binhai Avenue, heading straight to the Mid-Levels Manor.

Xihong City has developed rapidly in the past four years, and many high-end residential areas have been built. However, there is only this one villa area, and it is a beautiful sea view room. The few villas in the beginning were quickly occupied.

sold out.

Among them, Charlotte also bought a villa here, but rarely came back to live there, that is, Charlotte's mother was here.

After Ma Dongmei found out about this, she asked Zhang Jin to help her buy a villa, and the money would be deducted from her future bonuses.

Of course Zhang Jin agreed wholeheartedly. This kind of thing was just a piece of cake. Even if he was asked to give a house to Ma Dongmei, it wouldn't be a problem. It was just a small amount of money.

From then on, the three of them lived in the same community, but the other two were missing all year round.

And what's interesting is that the villas where the three people live happen to be on the same residential street, forming a triangle.

When Zhang Jin saw such a scene, he couldn't help but learn a classic line from Charlotte - What a sin!

Zhang Jin parked the car on the side of the road and planned to let Ma Dongmei get out of the car and go home first while he drove the car into his garage.

But as soon as his BMW SUV stopped, a big black figure suddenly jumped out from the side and rushed in front of his car. It pressed its big face against the window and looked in with a pair of big eyes.

Fortunately, he had a strong psychological quality and only frowned slightly, but Ma Dongmei next to him was shocked!

"Oh, let me go! What the hell is this?!" But she soon saw clearly who the owner of that big face was, and couldn't help but said in surprise, "Dachun!?"

Dachun's eyes were originally fixed on Zhang Jin, but when she shouted like this, his eyes were immediately attracted to him, and then he said loudly with great surprise: "Ma Dongmei! Holy shit! I'm not wrong, right? Dongmei, what are you doing?

It’s time to come back!”

Ma Dongmei got out of the car and responded with a smile while taking her luggage from the trunk: "Didn't I just come back? Zhang Jin drove to pick me up at the airport. Dachun, do you live here too?"

"That's not true. How can I afford such a nice house?" Dachun looked at Ma Dongmei with a silly smile.

"I heard that you are now playing in this city's football team. That's okay. I didn't realize that you still have talent in this area!"

"Hey! In fact, I didn't see that I had any talent in this area. When the team wanted to sign me, I even wondered if the management who recruited me was a fool. I even asked Zhang Jin to keep it a secret for me. Don't tell me.

There are other things I don’t know how to play football about.”

"It's exactly what I thought. Anyone who can recruit you must be out of their minds!" Ma Dongmei laughed, "How is your performance in the team? Is it okay?"

"It's not bad. I do whatever the coach asks me to do, and I often get praise from the coach and teammates." Dachun scratched his head a little embarrassed, "By the way, I also won the league's best team for two years, once

He is the main player, once a substitute, and the trophy is placed in the most conspicuous place in the living room at home by my mother. One day I will take you to visit it."

"Okay! You've already won a trophy. That's really impressive. It's not like me who hasn't won a single trophy in the past four years. By the way, I forgot to ask you, what's the name of the team you joined?"

"Da Xiang Team! Big, big, flying, doesn't it sound so nice?" Dachun said cheerfully.

"Daxiang Team...why does this name sound familiar?" Ma Dongmei recalled it in her mind, and suddenly her eyes widened, and then she suddenly remembered that Xihong Daxiang Team was not the club opened by Zhang Jin!

Zhang Jin's voice suddenly came from behind: "What are you talking about?"

Ma Dongmei turned to look at Zhang Jin with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face. She secretly thought to herself that he was probably the one who recruited Dachun into the Daxiang team. She actually laughed in front of him. Looking back now, the atmosphere at that time was really embarrassing!

"Nothing to talk about, just casual chat!" Da Chunle said cheerfully.

"By the way, Dachun, are you here to see me for something?" Zhang Jin asked.

Dachun doesn't live in Banshan Manor, and her home is quite far away from here. She doesn't know that Ma Dongmei is coming back today, so she has no motive for coming here unless she has something to do with herself.

When Dachun heard his question, the smile on his face dropped, and he frowned and thought hard: "I have something very important to ask you, but I was so happy to see Dongmei that I forgot about it. What was it?
