(At the end of the previous chapter, Pansiqi should have advanced to the quarterfinals, but he was in a hurry and directly became the semifinals.) I'd like to say sorry to all of you. ）

At the end of the game, Wang Xiao, who was full of shame, hurriedly shook hands with Pan Xiqi, and then felt shameless to continue to stay in the stadium, so he left as quickly as possible.

Pancicic didn't stay in the game to scout potential opponents, as other players do. For him, it's unlikely that there will be a competitor who can compete with him in this tournament.

After returning home, after hurriedly eating the takeout, Pansic lay on the bed, took his mobile phone and began to shop the cow's post bar again. This is the home of milk powder, and Pansiqi first learned a lot about dairy cows. For example, what cows like to eat, how many languages do cows speak, and so on. Every time he wanders around and reads other people's posts about idols, Pansic feels happier than ever, as if he is closer to his idols.

"When can I have a game with cows, no, as long as I practice a few balls, my life will be worth it." Pansiqi couldn't help but begin to fantasize.

He usually doesn't speak in the post bar, but today, somehow, he made a post and only said one sentence: "I must be a player as strong as a cow!" Stand up as proof! ”

There was no suspense, and as soon as the post was posted, it was inundated with many mocking replies. In everyone's opinion, this dream is tantamount to a fool's dream. You must know that even the strongest men's tennis player in China is 108,000 miles away from the cows. What's more, he is just an amateur tennis enthusiast, not even a tennis practitioner.

Pansiqi stopped looking at the replies after the post, he just wanted to find a place to express his emotions. He can guess the content of the replies of the bar friends without reading it. However, he didn't realize that among the many replies that mocked him, there was a comment mixed in, which seemed so different.

"Landlord, no matter what kind of person you are, it's good to have a dream. I believe in you, as long as you keep working hard, one day your dream will definitely come true. The postback ID is "Lonely Ugly Duckling".

The next day, the eight-in-four game began. After a strong performance in the first two games, Pancic's No. 1 has become the last number that the other seven players want to draw. These players either watched Pansiqi's performance, or learned about the game from others, and had a full understanding of Pansiqi's strength.

Although some players think they can win against Lao Wang and Wang Xiao, they will definitely not be able to sweep as easily as Pan Xiqi. Especially in the course of those two games, the situation on the field has been completely in the hands of Pancic, and the opponent has not had the slightest chance of winning. Therefore, after horizontal comparison, they think that their strength cannot compete with Pansiqi.

Pansiqi had no idea that he had unknowingly become the favourite to win the tournament, but in the next quarter-in-four match, he once again conquered everyone with his performance and cemented his status as a super favorite.

This time, he drew a player who was also quite strong in the first two rounds, and won two sets without letting his opponent go more than three games, which shows that the level is indeed much higher than others. originally thought that he had a chance to hit the finals, but he knew that he would meet the big evil star Panci in eight and four, and he could only consider himself unlucky.

After resisting a few beats a little more than Lao Wang and Wang Xiao, Pan Xiqi still directed and acted to give him a score of 6:1, which ended his journey in this competition.

In this way, Pancici made it to the final four with a strong record of dropping one game per game, and the other three players seemed to be his complete foil, and everyone recognized Panci as the best choice for the championship.

The semi-finals and finals will be held on Sunday, when the leaders of the unit will go to the stadium to watch the game in person and award prizes to the top three at the end of the game. Although it is only a competition organized by the unit, the amount of prize money is not bad, the champion can get 3,000 yuan, the runner-up 2,000 yuan, and the third place 1,000 yuan.

Although there was no suspense in this match for Pansiqi, the excessive level gap made the game a little boring. But for the 3,000 yuan bonus, he also had to win the championship. That way, his little liver, which had been aching because he bought a new beat, could also be most effectively soothed.

On Friday, Pansiqi was working on some papers at his desk. Suddenly, the head of the department mysteriously called him to the office. Pan Xiqi was confused, you must know that the director usually does not call him directly, and any tasks are first assigned to the section chief, and then arranged by the section chief to the individual.

After entering the room, the director reversed his previous serious attitude and kindly beckoned Pan Xiqi to sit down. The director's unusual behavior made Pansiqi even more uneasy, and a bad premonition came to his mind. Sure enough, after greeting each other for a while with his daily work, the director began to cut to the chase.

"Xiao Pan, I heard that you participated in this tennis competition organized by the unit, and your performance was very good, you have already entered the semi-finals, right? Oops, I didn't have time to go live before, it's a shame. The director looked a little remorseful.

"Where is it, director, you have a lot of opportunities, how can you have time to watch this. We're just playing around, and the director doesn't have to take it to heart. Pansiqi hurriedly replied.

"Huh! You can't say that. Some people think this competition is a blind game, but some people can take it seriously! Take our Director Zhang as an example, he pays close attention to our competition. As soon as the director mentioned the leader, his tone became a little heavier.

"Director Zhang, how could he be interested in this? Does he usually play tennis? "Pansiqi was a little strange.

"Director Zhang is not too young, and he is in a high position, so he naturally has no time to play tennis. However, his son-in-law Lin Qiang is an out-and-out tennis enthusiast, and I heard that he also participated in this competition, and like you, he is now one of the top four. ”

"Oh, I see. But what does what you have to do with me, Director? ”

"It's not just about you, it's about it." The director replied seriously.

"I already know the matchup in the semifinals through the relationship, it's really a coincidence, Xiao Pan, your opponent happens to be Lin Qiang. It's hard for me, you're my subordinate, and I should want you to win. I heard that Lin Qiang has great expectations for this competition, and if he loses and can't win the championship, I'm afraid he will be very unhappy. If he is not happy, Director Zhang will definitely not be happy either. If Director Zhang is not happy, he will definitely not make me happy. ”

"What do you mean, Director?" Pansiqi was a little confused, and couldn't turn around for a while.

"Hey, let's just tell you straight, in the next semi-finals, I hope you can put some water, at least don't win Lin Qiang." The director finally made his words clear.

"Damn, don't win, don't you just let me lose on purpose? Is there still a draw in tennis? This old fox. Pansich's heart turned upside down.

You must know that in a public institution like them, unspoken rules, exchange of interests and the like are very common, and Pan Xiqi is not untouched. However, even this kind of amateur tennis game can be unspoken rules, which is also an eye-opener for him. Intellectually, he knew that since the director had already made his words clear, he should quickly agree, otherwise he would not have a good life in the unit in the future. However, thinking of the attractive 3,000 yuan championship prize, he was a little reluctant.

Seeing that Pan Xiqi seemed to hesitate and did not reply immediately, the director was a little displeased. However, he hid his emotions well, and he continued to persuade Pan Xiqi: "Xiao Pan, I also know that you have the strength to win the championship of this competition, but you can't offend the leader for an amateur championship." In this way, as long as you agree, the excellence of your department this year will be yours. "The director used the last killer move.

"Okay, I'm not going to disappoint the director." Seeing that the director's words had come to this, Pan Xiqi hurriedly expressed his attitude.

"Okay, good, I know that Xiao Pan is a reasonable person, I really read it correctly." Seeing that he had succeeded in his work, the director happily patted Pansic on the shoulder twice.

"Then if it's okay, you can go back and get busy."

Pan Xiqi had already walked out of the door, but suddenly turned his head and asked, "Director, there is nothing to explain for the three or four finals, right?" ”

The director was stunned for a moment, and replied generously: "Except for Lin Qiang, you can fight and win casually with the others." ”

"Okay director, make sure to complete the task!" Pansy slipped away without looking back.

On the way back to his desk, Pansiqi was a little speechless. I thought that after my body had mutated and the level of tennis had improved by leaps and bounds, it should be easy to win the championship. I didn't expect to win the championship in the first amateur competition I participated in. It seems that in society, no matter how strong you are, it does not mean that you will be able to achieve the ultimate goal. Pan Xiqi, who was already deeply dissatisfied with the lifeless atmosphere of the unit and the seniority of seniority, experienced this incident and intensified his desire to leave the unit. But before, he didn't know what he could do after leaving the unit, but now that he has tennis as a back road, he seems to have a little more confidence in his heart.

After getting off work, Pan Xiqi made an unprecedented appointment with Da Wei to come out for a drink. As golfers, they don't have a lot of intersection in life. It seemed that Pan Xiqi was a little unhappy in his heart, and Da Wei didn't ask much, ordered a few bottles of wine, asked for some snacks, and drank with Pan Xiqi. After a few glasses of wine, Pan Xiqi's depression seemed to be dispelled a lot, and he gradually talked and laughed with Da Wei.

The two chatted, talked about everything, and drank to the fullest.

Before parting, Da Wei asked Pan Xiqi: "Pan Zi, since the last practice, I know that with your level, it is not suitable for the two of us to play singles together in the future." However, recently I have met a few players who play doubles all year round, and asked me to play tomorrow, I wonder if you are interested? ”

"Doubles? I really haven't played much before. Okay, now that you've spoken, I'll play a doubles with you tomorrow. Pansic thought about it for a moment and agreed.
