"Thank you! Thank you! Liu Bei thanked the staff who had registered for the national competition, and left quickly on a bicycle excitedly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In an office on the fourth floor of the Basketball Federation Building in City B, a lily window was gently opened, and a pair of dark middle-aged men wearing glasses watched Liu Bei's red bicycle leave through the window.

"Oh, hey, it's really a teacher-student relationship, I'm teachable here, Mr. Shuijing..."A strange voice came from a large class chair in the office, and another middle-aged man with eyes grinned at the corner of his mouth, but his glasses were not due to reflection, making it difficult for others to guess his thoughts.

In front of him was a large desk, on which, in addition to some papers, was a wine glass with red wine in it. The yin and yang man picked up the wine glass and tasted it slowly.

"That's not my student, it's from another class." Teacher Shui Jing closed the blinds, put his hand in the pocket of his trousers, and lowered his head to think about something.

"But he's a character, isn't he?" The middle-aged man smiled sideways and raised his wine glass and gestured to Mr. Shuijing. "Would you like a drink?"

"You're welcome, I don't drink." Teacher Shui Jing responded coldly to the middle-aged man.

"You're so boring," the middle-aged man shrugged, looking helpless.

"It's almost time for me to leave, Mr. Basketball President, thank you for your help." Teacher Shui Jing turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, and then nodded slightly to him in thanks.

"You're welcome, it's just a gesture, you were my second biggest patron back then, and I still remember these kindnesses, although I really didn't intend to accept your silver dollars at that time. However, although your school has signed up, there is still a link of point screening, and I don't know if your school can pass the screening? The president of the basketball league took a sip of red wine and gently shook the glass. Is that good? Do you really need to let them know about what you do for your students? Don't make them grateful? The president of the basketball federation asked Mr. Shui Jing.

"There's no need, I'm just a little bored and want to do it." Teacher Shui Jing coldly answered the question of the president of the basketball federation.

"Bored? Then why don't you ask Teacher Shuijing to do me a favor now, and return me a favor, how about it? Hey, hey, hey..."The president of the basketball federation smiled maliciously, and the hand shaking the red wine glass sped up a little.

"Mr. President, now I am not a private school teacher who teaches the children of rich families, I am just a poor teacher. I'm afraid it won't help you, can it? Teacher Shuijing's tone became colder.

"Oh, what kind of money are you talking about? Don't get me wrong. I'm the president of the National Basketball Federation now, and I'm pretty little bit of a basketball guy with a lot of sponsors throwing money into my basketball activities. It's just that I sometimes feel bored, and I feel that although my previous job didn't make a lot of money, it was the job I really wanted, so people are greedy enough to be animals. The president of the basketball league shook his glass and looked at the red wine in the glass.

"What do you want me to do for you?" Teacher Shui Jing asked indifferently.

"I want you to play a game with me..."The president of the basketball federation suddenly leaned over to Mr. Shui Jing and grinned at him.

"Huh? Game? "Teacher Shui Jing couldn't figure out what the basketball president said.

"This game, in the past, was my job, then it was called divination, and now it is called superstition, I can only call it a game, it would sound better. Now do you understand? The president of the basketball federation tapped his glass lightly on the table.

"You... You want to do divination for me? Teacher Shuijing's face changed suddenly. Divination for me doesn't seem to have anything good happening..."Teacher Shuijing wanted to refuse.

"Divination is also a real reaction to future reality, so don't be so nervous, it's a game. Come on, this is the prop of the game. The president of the basketball federation put down his glass and took an item out of a drawer.

"What's that?" Teacher Shui Jing glanced at the object. "It's playing cards?"

"That's right, let's play a simple prediction game with playing cards, but what to predict? Yes, hehe...", the president of the basketball federation said mysteriously. "Let's predict which school will win this year's National Cup basketball tournament, shall we? Ha ha! The president of the basketball league suddenly burst out laughing.

For the first time, a look of shock and horror appeared on Mr. Shuijing's face. "Can this kind of thing be predicted? And don't you feel like you're losing your identity as the president of the basketball federation? Teacher Shui Jing asked him righteously.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to say the answer, I'm not even going to look at this answer, because the answer is ultimately in your hands." The president of the basketball league slowly drew four cards from the playing cards, and he lifted them out for the water mirror to see. The water mirror saw clearly that the four playing cards were four aces of different colors.

The president of the basketball federation let the water mirror see clearly, wrote a few words on each ace card, then turned it to the back, and then shuffled the cards in the drawer, and finally he put the four aces on the table.

"How do you predict four aces?" Teacher Shui Jing couldn't help but sarcastically ridicule the president of the basketball league.

"That's how the game works," said the basketball president in a relaxed tone. These four aces represent four teams, now you can draw an ace card at random, and then I'll predict..."The president of the basketball federation had a weird smile on his face.

"I predict that the team represented by the A card in your hand is the champion team of this year's National Championship Cup Basketball Tournament!" The basketball president's voice was raised, and he looked full of self-confidence.

Teacher Shuijing's pupils began to dilate, and the four covered playing cards seemed to be under a spell, and Teacher Shuijing didn't dare to touch them at will.

"Pick any one...", the president of the basketball federation made a "please" gesture. "You don't need to show me, you don't need to tell me, you can see it yourself." He said with a relaxed face

But Mr. Shui Jing felt as if his hands were filled with lead, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly, and finally reached on the playing cards. His hand sat in the air for a while, as if hesitating, and finally seemed to make up his mind to reach for a card, but just as his hand touched the card, he suddenly moved his hand to another card, and finally held the card firmly in his hand. At this time, Mr. Shui Jing felt chest tightness and heat, difficulty breathing, and a little fainting in his head.

"Very good..."The president of the basketball federation took out a rectangular transparent container and gently covered the three ace cards, he did not open the three cards, the cards were still covered.

"I don't need to look at your cards because I know what card it is, and we'll see if the team it represents will win the championship. Interesting, really funny! Ha ha! The president of the basketball federation couldn't help laughing, but Mr. Shui Jing felt that the cold sweat on his body continued to overflow.

"You know what you can't do, but you still have to do your best for your students, you are really a model teacher!" After the president of the basketball federation calmed down, such a sentence came out, but Shui Jing did not respond to him, he just grabbed the playing cards in his hand into a ball.

"Thank you again for your help, and I'll bother later." Teacher Shui Jing nodded to the president of the basketball federation again and thanked him. "Goodbye, President of the Basketball Federation, Mr. Pipe."

"Then I won't send you Teacher Shuijing, there will be a period later." Chairman Guan watched Mr. Shui Jing slowly walk towards the office door, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"One last question I want to ask you." The moment Shui Jing pushed open the office door, he suddenly stopped. "Why do we still have memories of the past? Shouldn't memory not exist in the afterlife? He didn't look back, just turned his back to the pipe and asked.

"Who knows? Whether this is God's will or the devil's arrangement, who can say? Guan Zhen held up the frame of his glasses, and his eyes were still fixed on the back of Mr. Shuijing.

The door closed slowly, and the light outside the door hit Chairman Guan's glasses, which made people feel even more mysterious about him.

"Thank you for your patronage!" At the moment when the door closed, Chairman Guan said a strange word of thanks to the back of Teacher Shui Jing with a smile...
