A few days later, Pan Xiqi dragged a suitcase to the Beijing Tennis Sports Management Center. Looking at the familiar door, Pansic sighed with emotion.

"Wow, isn't this the Guangcai Sports Center? I didn't expect this to be the place where the Beijing team trained. Pansiqi thought that he usually came here once a week to play, and now it was better, and he might be able to stay here for a long time. The word fate is sometimes really unclear.

According to the person who received him into the team arranged by Director Xiao, he asked him to report to the 201 office of the management center before 10 o'clock this morning. The office building of the management center is located on the west side of the sports center, which is still relatively easy to find. Looking at this three-story building, Pansic thought about how he had never paid attention to playing here before, and it was really too low-key. This also seems to reflect the embarrassing situation that the overall tennis level of Beijing tennis is not outstanding and no one cares about it.

Arriving at the 201 office, Pansic knocked on the door.

"Please come in." A relatively young-sounding voice came from inside.

Pansic pushed the door in, only to see that there was only a desk inside, and behind the desk was a young man with glasses typing on the keyboard on the computer, as if he was working on some kind of file. Seeing Pan Xiqi enter the door, he glanced up, saw the trolley box that Pan Xiqi was dragging in his hand, and asked suspiciously, "Hello, what's the matter with you?" ”

"Hello comrade, I'm here to find Xiao Zhang." Pansiqi replied.

"I'm the only one here, surnamed Zhang, what's the matter with you?" The young man is even stranger.

"Hey, you're Xiao Zhang. I'm Pansiqi, we've been in touch on the phone before, didn't we make an appointment to report here today? Pansic said.

"What? Are you Pansiqi? You're not kidding me, are you? Xiao Zhang listened for a moment and blurted out directly.

"Why, don't you see that I'm not like it? Have you seen Pansiqi before? Pansic was a little angry, he had never been asked like this when he was so old.

"Oh, no, no, no, I didn't mean that. It's just that you're a little different from what I imagined. Xiao Zhang hurriedly explained.

"And what do you think I should be?"

"At the beginning, Director Xiao assigned me to go through the procedures for you to join the team, and he didn't tell me too much about your specific situation. But based on my previous experience, the first time I joined the team, I was basically a young man under the age of 20, so I naturally thought that you were about the same age. But I think you're obviously more than twenty, right? Xiao Zhang expressed the doubts in his heart.

"Hey, so you think I'm older than you think. Am I that old? But compared to those kids, I'm much older, and I'm in Chinese New Year's Eve. Pan Xiqi couldn't help but laugh when he heard Xiao Zhang's words.

"What? Thirty? Xiao Zhang stood up in an instant, and his eyes carefully looked at Pan Xiqi, as if he was judging the truth of what Pan Xiqi said in his heart.

"What? Does thirty strike you as exaggerated? Pansiqi asked in a deep voice, looking a little displeased.

"Not really, but it did push my mental limits. My estimation is that you can't go more than twenty-five or sixteen. After all, I have never received a 30-year-old newcomer, but I have seen a lot of athletes who retired at the age of 30. Xiao Zhang had a frightened expression on his face.

"I said Xiao Zhang, do we have a rule that thirty-year-olds can't join the team? If so, I'll leave, after all, I've been here for most of the day, and you haven't done anything for me. When I leave, I will explain the reason to Director Xiao. Pansiqi made a gesture to walk.

This sentence reminded Xiao Zhang, and he remembered that the other party was the person he wanted to receive personally from Director Xiao, which was rare before. Thinking that Pan Xiqi might have a great relationship with Director Xiao, Xiao Zhang felt that his previous words were a little reckless, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there is no such thing." I was a little fuss before, and I made you wait for a long time, so I will go through the procedures for you to join the team. ”

Next, Xiao Zhang asked Pan Xiqi to fill out a few forms and made copies of Pan Xiqi's relevant documents. Seeing the date of birth on Pan Xiqi's ID card, Xiao Zhang believed that Pan Xiqi was really thirty years old.

"It seems that it is really Director Xiao's relation, but this is too exaggerated, and thirty-year-old people have also been brought to the team, is it here to support the elderly? But this is the national condition of our country, who calls us a humane society? Xiao Zhang slandered in his heart, feeling that he had once again seen the ugliness of society.

After filling out the form, Xiao Zhang took out another document and handed it to Pan Xiqi: "This is the athlete management manual of our Beijing team, take a good look at it when you have time." There are a lot of rules in it that you have to pay special attention to, so remember not to break the rules. Xiao Zhang specially advised.

Pan Xiqi took the manual, flipped through the two pages, and saw that it was full of various restrictions on athletes, such as not being allowed to leave the team without permission, not disrupting the training plan, not allowing private business activities, not eating outside food, etc., including all aspects of life and training. Pan Xiqi only took a cursory look at a few of them, and he deeply felt the lack of freedom of athletes.

"I said Xiao Zhang, this is too fine, right? If you really want to follow the manual, will you still have the freedom of life? This is completely the school's way of managing students. ”

"Hehe, you don't know about that. When formulating these regulations, considering that the players are generally relatively young and do not have strong self-control, they are detailed to all aspects. Only in this way can these children not be unrestrained. Of course, at your age, these rules are a bit too inhumane. ”

"Don't say anything else, I don't understand just the fact that you are not allowed to eat out. In this way, wouldn't the countless delicacies outside be lost to me? "As a foodie, Pansiqi is the most unacceptable thing.

"Well, after all, the food sources outside are too complicated to rule out the risk of food being contaminated by doping, so not only our team, but also professional sports teams are basically not negotiable." Xiao Zhang explained.

"It seems that if you want to become a professional athlete, you really have to resist the temptation." From this moment on, Pansiqi already missed those delicacies a little.

"By the way, after joining the team, in addition to national holidays, you will have one day off every month. However, if there is a major competition, such as the National Games, then the vacation will be automatically canceled. Xiao Zhang added.

"It doesn't matter, I'm alone anyway, and I don't have anywhere to go on vacation." Pansiqi sighed.

"Alright, the joining procedures are almost complete. It will take a few days for the athlete card to be issued to you, so I'll take you to the dormitory first. Now the dormitory is a little tight, so you are arranged for a two-person room, and there is already one person living in it. ”

"What? It's actually two people living together? I haven't lived with anyone else since I graduated from college. I didn't expect that after so many years, I would start living a collective life again. Can I ask who my roommate is? Pansic asked curiously.

"It's also a kid who just joined the team, so he came a day earlier than you, and you'll know when you see it." After speaking, Xiao Zhang got up and led Pan Xiqi to the athletes' dormitory.

The tennis center's athletes' dormitory is next door to the office building and is also a small three-story building. The dormitory assigned to Pansiqi was located at the innermost point on the third floor, and when Pansiqi and the others walked through the hallway, almost all the doors of the room were closed, and it was obvious that the team members were not in the room at this time.

"Our floor is the coaches' dormitory, the second floor is the women's dormitory, and the third floor is the men's dormitory. At this point, everyone trains on the pitch and comes back after lunch and a lunch break. However, you and your roommate are new here, so you can pack up in the house today, get used to it, and start training tomorrow. ”

When he got to the innermost room, Xiao Zhang knocked on the door and asked, "Is anyone there?" I'm Xiao Zhang, and I'm bringing a newcomer to the dormitory. ”

After a while, there was a sound of movement inside, and the door to the dormitory was opened. Pan Xiqi was a little surprised when he saw the person who opened the door, and asked, "Lin Teng, why are you?" Are you my roommate? ”

Lin Teng saw Pan Xiqi outside the door, and replied with a smile: "Hehe, Uncle Pan, you have finally arrived, I am almost suffocated to death when I stay alone in the house." Now it's good to finally have a companion. ”

"Why, you knew I was coming?"

"Yes, when I reported yesterday, they said that there was a new person to join the team today. I didn't have to guess to know it had to be you, so I asked to live with you as a roommate. Lin Teng said proudly.

"Yo, you two know each other. That's easy to do, I'll introduce it again in the province. I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you. If there's anything you don't understand, just give me a call. After Xiao Zhang finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

When Pan Xiqi entered the house, he looked around and found that the dormitory conditions were better than he had imagined. Two one-meter-and-a-half beds, TV, air conditioning, and even a Xiaoice box. The house also has its own bathroom, which looks somewhat similar to the standard rooms in the hotel.

"Uncle Pan, in the United States, we all live in one room and one person, and I really haven't lived with anyone else. In the future, if there is anything wrong with me, you can tell me directly, and you don't have to be polite to me. Lin Teng sat on the bed in the back, his clothes were still scattered on it, and it was obvious that he had already chosen his own bed.

"Yo, you kid, it's really not what I imagined. Most of today's children are arrogant, and there are not many people who are as sensible as you. Pan Xiqi was a little surprised by Lin Teng's attitude.

"Hehe, that's because you and I have this attitude, and if I were someone else, I would ignore him too. After all, you're the man who defeated me, and I'm going to train hard to get revenge on you. Lin Teng was straightforward and said what he thought directly.

"Okay, you kid is a rectum, and you have an appetite for me. Don't worry, big brother in the future, no, uncle, I will cover you. Pansic said this very proudly.
