Xiao Mu packed up his things and took the car home.

Xu Lanqing and Lao Xiao warmly welcomed Xiao Mu, and when they left, they still went to school, and they were going to have a job to make a lot of money when they came back.

After dinner, Xu Lanqing and Lao Xiao were not in a hurry to sleep, and they usually passed Erdaoling early at this point.

Xiao Mu told them in detail about the recent changes in the recent period, from Han Xiu to the school to find him, all the way to the training camp.

Xu Lanqing was still a little worried, "Son, do you estimate that you can be selected this year?" ”

"No problem, if I can't choose, no one else needs to choose."

"Then how much do you estimate the salary?"

"It depends on how many people can be selected, it is estimated that the top five are no problem, and there are more than 200,000."

"So much?"

"It's not much, a two-year contract. The contract is over, and the annual salary is over one million. It depends on how well you fight. ”

"Oh my God, playing basketball makes so much money. I used to always say that you don't study hard, just thinking about playing basketball, and see how you can support your family in the future. Now it seems that this basketball is more than going to work. ”

Lao Xiao looked at his wife, "Look at you, how terrible it is to be uneducated." ”

Xu Lanqing was happy, Lao Xiao said that she didn't care, "My son is tired from riding in the car, let's rest, what do you want to eat tomorrow?" ”

"There's a lot left over today, so let's eat it tomorrow."

"Okay, go to sleep."

Xiao Mu was really tired, so he fell asleep and slept until dawn.

Xu Lanqing and Lao Xiao had already left, and there was breakfast in the pot. Xiao Mu washed up and ate breakfast, and the phone rang at this time.

"Xiao Mu, I'm Han Xiu."

"Hello, so early."

"Up?"

"I'm having breakfast."

"I've seen the data for your training camp, that's good."

"Okay, there's a scoring maniac, do you see that?"

"Hahaha, you said Guo Zihao, his scoring ability really didn't say. Outstanding physical fitness, no one else is his opponent except you, plus excellent touch. The future should be limitless! ”

"It seems that this year's champion must be the best."

"Well, not necessarily. This year, our team is the first to choose, so the winner is up to us. ”

"That's not right, you have you as a guard, a big center, plus a small forward who scores well, just the right trident, a perfect match."

"However, our coach also likes you. He told me that if you want to play well and make the fans happy, choose Guo Zihao. If you want to win and play team basketball, you have to be selected. ”

"No, don't you and I overlap."

"He wants to have two of us, one is to play two point guards, you can also play shooting guard with your physical fitness, and you can also play as a small forward, so that you can play several lineups with a variety of variations. Therefore, there is hope for the champion. ”

"Really, I look at the suspense, if there is no Guo Zihao, this idea is still good, with Guo Zihao, I think the three of you have more advantages."

"That's not easy to say, this decision is still in the hands of the general manager, and how to decide in the end will be revealed at the draft conference."

"Alright, don't worry about that, it's out of my control anyway."

"Okay, then you can have fun for a few days, wait for your good news, bye-bye!"

"Bye-bye!"

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Mu turned on his phone to see the prediction about the draft. Most of the media and experts in the basketball industry have analyzed that Han Xiu's team, that is, the Luozhou team, can finally choose Guo Zihao, and Xiao Mu will be selected by the lockdown team with the ranking of the list.

Xiao Mu looked at it and frowned, "Could it be that in the end, I have to go back to the city where I was injured to play?" ”

Xiao Mu closed the page and called Gu Yihuai, "Yihuai, have you told your grandmother over there, you will go to the draft in a few days." ”

"Okay, when are you going to go?"

"That's good, you don't have to worry about it, I'll book you a ticket. Just wait for my news. ”

"I'll order it myself, don't worry about it."

"Leave it alone, stay with grandma. I'll text you when I've booked this. You're ready to go. ”

"Okay then, Aunt Xu and Uncle Xiao will go too, right?"

"Let's go, I'll book tickets together. Bye! ”

"Bye-bye."

Xiao Mu got up, went to find the old house, and asked Xu Lanqing to study the matter of participating in the draft. The two of them don't need to look for Lao Xiao, just have Xu Lanqing in charge, Lao Xiao has always obeyed orders.

The week was very fast, and the two sides finally converged. Xu Lanqing took them, a family of four, to the mall first and bought a set of formal clothes for everyone, which was also the first time for their family to participate in such a formal and important occasion. After the four of them changed their clothes, you look at me, I look at you, no matter how you look at it, it seems that you don't know each other.

In the hotel room, Gu Yihuai secretly said to Xiao Mu, "It's the first time I've worn such expensive clothes, I don't know where to put my hands, and I spent so much money in order to wear them once." You know, I'm not coming. ”

Xiao Mu smiled and patted her head, "Silly girl, when I earn an annual salary in the future, you will have money, buy a few more sets and change them." ”

"You can't waste money like this, according to Jiang Conghan, you are a loser."

Xiao Mu was worried, "Hello, all the money you earn in the future will be handed over to you, and you will be at your disposal." ”

Gu Yihuai looked at Xiao Mu and smirked, "Don't regret it." ”

The two men were laughing when they heard a knock on the door.

Xiao Mu went over to open the door, and he was a member of the organizing committee, a total of four people.

A few people came in, "Xiao Mu, today we received an anonymous letter reporting that you usually take stimulants. Excuse me, is this true? ”

Xiao Mu was dumbfounded when he heard it, "Impossible, I usually pay attention to it, and I definitely don't take illegal drugs and food." ”

"Okay, please sign here, we're going to test you for doping."

"No problem." Xiao Mu signed.

"These three are the national anti-doping officers and the testing staff, and all testing procedures are monitored to ensure the safety of the tests. You can rest assured of this. Then you go with this person to collect urine. ”

A man took out a bottle and accompanied Xiao Mu to the bathroom.

After a while, the two of them came out and collected the samples. The inspectors left.

The official of the organizing committee did not leave, "Xiao Mu, it's like this, this happened too suddenly." If you are detected for doping, then you will not be able to participate in the draft. Do you understand? Today, the leaders held a special meeting, and it is estimated that the results will not come out until tomorrow morning. We try to make sure we get the results before the draft, but time is of the essence. ”

He paused for a moment to sort out his thoughts, "We don't want to, but we have to prevent it, once the test results are not good." And you will be on the scene tomorrow, but you will not be chosen, which will have a bad impact on our image. So, if the results come out late tomorrow, you may not be able to go to the site. We'll give you a place to watch the draft on TV. If doping is not detected, then you can still participate in the draft. Do you see if there is a problem? ”

Xiao Mu got up and walked back and forth, thinking about this sudden event, it was already night, "Can you get the results before the draft tomorrow?" What if I can't get out? ”

"We've scheduled overnight testing, and it's estimated that it won't come out until a moment before tomorrow's draft, so it's really nervous. However, the leader said that once the results are not out, then you can still participate in the draft according to the theory that there is no evidence. ”

"That's good, so be it."

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Tomorrow you'll be waiting for me here, and I'll arrange another place for you to watch the draft. In addition, don't talk about this matter to the outside world, it's not good for you and the organizing committee. ”

"Okay, then I'll bother you."

The organizing committee officials left, Xiao Mu and Gu Yihuai didn't know what to say, they went next door and told Xu Lanqing and Lao Xiao what had just happened.

Xu Lanqing shouted first, "How can this be? Who makes the small report? No, I'll go find them. ”

Lao Xiao and Xiao Mu grabbed her, "Don't worry, sit down and talk about it." ”

"What do you have to say, my son is innocent, let people detain the, and don't let me say it."

"Mom, this hasn't come out yet, I'll talk about it later."

Lao Xiao looked at Xiao Mu, "Son, you tell me, have you ever taken any stimulants?" ”

"Of course not, you have to believe me, I'm not stupid."

Gu Yihuai also said, "I believe in Xiao Mu, he will definitely not do such a thing." ”

Lao Xiao nodded, "That's good, what are we afraid of." We won't go to the scene tomorrow, Xiao Mu can have a good ranking. ”

Xiao Mu still frowned, "I'm afraid this is a set now, why else would such an anonymous letter come at such a critical time?" ”

Gu Yihuai was also suspicious, "Xiao Mu, think about it, today, have you eaten or drunk anything from unknown sources." ”

Xu Lanqing just let go of his heart, and mentioned his throat again, "We have been together today, and we also eat out at noon and night." ”

Gu Yihuai thought about it, "It should be no problem to eat out, mainly whether there is a problem in the hotel." ”

Xiao Mu was also thinking, "I went to the hotel in the morning, went out to eat at noon, and then went to the mall to buy clothes in the afternoon." I ate outside the field at night, and I just came back not long ago, no, definitely not, I didn't move anything in the hotel. ”

Gu Yihuai thought about it from the beginning, "There should be no problem, maybe that person just wants to delay the time and affect your participation in the draft." ”

Xiao Mu looked at them all nervously, "You say, if I am yin and can't participate in the draft, what should I do?" The school's casual meals were eaten, and the luggage was sent home. I went to class again at the beginning of the school year, and I didn't get laughed at to death. It is estimated that only Coach Li and Meng Ze are happy. ”

Gu Yihuai also smiled, "It's all like this, you are still in the mood to joke." ”

"It's okay, everyone went on the road yesterday, didn't rest well at night, and went to the mall in the afternoon. Let's rest early, it's useless to think about it. ”

Lao Xiao also urged, "Go ahead, you're all sleeping, it's definitely no problem." ”

Xu Lanqing and Gu Yihuai went to another room to rest, and Xiao Mu and Lao Xiao were in the same room.

The next day, the draft finally began.

In the morning, Xiao Mu and the others didn't eat free breakfast at the hotel, Lao Xiao went out to buy breakfast and brought back four people to eat. After breakfast, all four of them put on the new clothes they bought yesterday.

Xu Lanqing didn't sit or sit, "This dress is really uncomfortable, it's not as comfortable as my work clothes." ”

Lao Xiao also said, "Yes, it's still my work clothes." ”

Gu Yihuai was also sitting in danger, like a lady.

"Dangdang Dang"

Xiao Mu went to open the door, it was yesterday's organizing committee official, "Morning." ”

"You're all ready, aren't you?"

"It's all right."

"Then, you come with me, it's upstairs."

Xiao Mu and the others followed, took the elevator all the way to the top floor, and came to a luxury suite.

"It's a lot more comfortable here than it is in the field, and you're here for the draft. There will be cameras and staff coming over in a while, and the whole process will be filmed. After a while, the results will come out, and you will be selected, and you will be able to appear on TV and be interviewed. Prepare well and don't be nervous. ”

"Thank you!"

"It's okay, if you have any questions, look for me and call me." After saying that, he left a business card and left.

Xu Lanqing looked around, "This environment is good, it seems that they still attach great importance to us." ”

Xiao Mu turned on the TV and saw that the live broadcast had begun, and the successive team members had already entered the field.

Gu Yihuai sat on the sofa, "Come on, let's sit too." ”

Xiao Mu sat in the middle, with Gu Yihuai and Xu Lanqing on both sides, and Lao Xiao sat on the single sofa next to him.

The door was pushed open and two staff members entered. Xu Lanqing was still startled, why did he suddenly enter, "Who are you?" ”

"Auntie, we are videographers. You don't have to worry about us, you can just watch TV, be natural, don't watch us. ”

They set up their equipment and stood quietly beside them.

Xiao Mu didn't feel anything about these, and he often faced these cameras in his previous life. But the other three were a little unnatural, sitting up straight and with serious faces.

Xiao Mu patted Xu Lanqing and Gu Yihuai's hands, "It's okay, relax, just don't have them." ”

The two of them are slightly better.

Xiao Mu saw that there were a total of ten tables in the front row of the scene, five in a row. Shen Chisong is sitting in the middle of the back row, and now there is a shortage of center forwards, who must have height and weight, as well as good skills and good ball sense, so Shen Chisong's ranking this year is not expected to be high, and he can also sit in the front.

Directly in front of Shen Chisong, that is, in the middle of the first row, a table sat Guo Zihao and his family. Next to him should be his parents, these two Xiao Mu can often be seen when training and competing. At first glance, they are all engaged in sports, and her mother has more than 180.

Gradually, everyone arrived, only the table next to Guo Zihao was still empty, Xiao Mu guessed that it should be his own, and he and his family should also be sitting there now.

The host took the stage, and after a brief opening speech, the chairman of the Basketball Association was invited to speak. Without too much official language, the president of the basketball association is also an athlete, and his speech is sonorous and concise, and he quickly announced the crucial draft link.

The four have not yet received the results of the test, and no one has informed them, and all four are very nervous.

The first draft on TV was the Los Angeles team, where the manager and coach sat in a small room, and the two did not communicate much. There are two envelopes on the table, which are probably already selected, waiting to be submitted at the last minute.

Gu Yihuai pulled Xiao Mu's clothes, "They all seem to have been chosen." ”

"Yes, it's been a week, it's been discussed a long time ago, the first one doesn't have to look at other people's choices, and the rest depends on who the previous ones choose, and then adjust the choice."

"Then you say, who will they choose?"

"I think Guo Zihao is very likely."

"That is, there is still a little time, waiting for your results."

Xiao Mu shook his head, "I don't know how it is now, it should come out." ”

On the TV, the door to the small room opened, and an organizing committee official exchanged views with the manager, who handed an envelope to the official.

Xu Lanqing said, "Is it going to be announced soon?" ”

"Yes, that's the list in that envelope."

The TV screen has been transferred to the rostrum, and the chairman of the Basketball Association walked up with an envelope, "Now I announce that the player selected by the Los Angeles team is ......" He slowly opened the envelope, pulled out a piece of paper, and then looked around the audience, "Our champion this year is, Xiao Mu!" ”

The audience burst into applause, and the four people in front of the TV were stunned at first, thinking that it would not be their own.

Gu Yihuai jumped up first, pulling Xiao Mu to jump and shout. Xiao Mu hugged Xu Lanqing and Lao Xiao.

The moderator announced, "Now the next team to be selected is the lockdown team. During this time, we will also interview Xiao Mu. ”

Xiao Mu's side, the staff member, took a headset and brought it to Xiao Mu, then gave him a microphone, and then turned off the sound of the TV and asked Xiao Mu to wait.

The host continued, "It's a pity that Xiao Mu couldn't come to the scene for special reasons today. Let's thank Huawei for building a 5G device for us, which can interview Xiao Mu remotely. Xiao Mu, hello! ”

Xiao Mu could hear the host's voice in the headphones, "Hello, host." ”

"You won this year's champion just now, have you seen it all?"

"Yes, I saw them all."

"Is there anything you want to say now?"

"Thank you to the Basketball Association for giving me this opportunity to participate in the draft, and thank you to my family, who have always been by my side, as well as my college coaches and teammates, and even more so to my university for giving me this opportunity."

The host interrupted Xiao Mu, "Excuse me, interrupt, you are only a junior now, and you have not graduated yet." Do you regret choosing to give up your studies and participate in the draft? ”

"I don't regret it at all, because I didn't graduate, so I've always been a college student at Southwest Institute of Technology."

Xiao Mu looked at the camera, and out of the corner of his eye, he could see himself and his family on TV, "Here, I also want to thank a special friend, he is no longer in this world, but I want to tell him, thank you for everything he gave me." ”

"Okay, thank you Xiao Mu. Let's get back to the scene and wait for the selection of the lockdown team. ”

Xiao Mu put down the microphone and headphones, and saw that there was only a cloud in the blue sky outside the window. The clouds gathered together seemed to be a big thumbs up, "Is that you?" Xiao Xiaomu, do you think it's also amazing? ”
