"Damn, man, you are kind of awesome, your observation skills are better than the detectives in the movie!"
Wang Chong swallowed his saliva and hurriedly asked for help: "Then, do you think it would be better for me to play basketball, or would it be better for me to follow my parents and go to a normal university?"
Tang Ming asked: "You want me to tell the truth?"
Wang Chong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Of course, I'm very confused now. Brother, please help me analyze it."
"My advice is that hobbies are hobbies after all, and you can't let your hobbies override your life."
"Under the domestic environment, the development of professional basketball teams is not outstanding, especially youth training teams."
"Many people have been training in the youth training team since childhood. It's too late for you to go now. Whether the youth training team can survive is still a question. Even if it can survive, it will be very difficult to enter the CBA to play."
Tang Ming paused for a moment and cleared his throat.
Wang Chong quickly took out a bottle of soda, grinned and said, "Brother, keep talking."
"Thank you, I don't drink soda..." Tang Ming refused the soda and continued his analysis: "You come from a scholarly family, and your elders are all teachers, so taking the path of a teacher is a way to get twice the result with half the effort."
"Don't think that your parents are stubborn. The experience of the older generation is countless times better than yours. No one can predict the future. It's good to have a stable life."
"Then let's talk about your hobbies. You can continue to play basketball after becoming a teacher. Campus basketball teams, community basketball teams, urban basketball teams, etc. can all satisfy your hobbies..." Listening to Tang Ming's words.
Wang Chong gradually became clearer from the previous confusion and discomfort.
"That seems to be the truth."
Wang Chong scratched his head and was filled with admiration: "Brother, you are so awesome. After you said that, I seem to be less entangled. Thank you so much. I will treat you to dinner at noon."
Hobbies are hobbies, life is life, and you can’t put the cart before the horse.
Tang Ming's words made him suddenly enlightened.
"You are welcome."
Tang Ming smiled and shook his head. He actually had nothing to say.
When Wang Chong was twenty years old, he discovered that he had a family hereditary coronary heart disease and was not suitable for playing basketball.
Moreover, after I sprained my hamstring, I kept failing interviews for teacher positions because of my poor image because of my lameness. Finally, I became discouraged and became a security guard in a primary school.
"In the High School Affiliated to Zhonghai, the two people I have a good relationship with are Su Yurou and Wang Chong."
"As for the rest..." Tang Ming suddenly raised his head and looked at the wall clock in front of the classroom.
It will be eight o'clock soon.
"Should it be coming soon?"
There was a hint of coldness in the corner of Tang Ming's mouth.
Just as he was talking, the back door of the classroom was pushed open, and five or six tall and careless men rushed into the classroom, led by a short-haired young man with earrings and a stern face.
Xu Jie from Class 9, Grade 3! This guy is very famous in the attached middle school because he specializes in collecting protection money from transfer students, acts arrogantly and domineeringly, and is considered a bully in the school.
Many people in the class saw Xu Jie and their expressions changed slightly.
Wang Chong's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stood up to apologize: "Brother Jie, what brought you here?"
"Of course it's business."
Xu Jie strode over and came to Tang Ming: "Wang Chong, is this the new transfer student in your class?"
Wang Chong smiled apologetically and handed over a pack of cigarettes: "Brother Jie, he and I have a good relationship. Should we forget about the protection fee?"
"No, the rules are the rules, they can't be broken."
Xu Jie knocked on Tang Ming's desk: "Boy, the rules of the attached middle school are that each out-of-town transfer student pays a protection fee of 500 yuan. If you pay the money, you can avoid many accidents."
Justifiable blackmail is so arrogant.
Tang Ming chuckled and shook his head: "What if we don't hand over?"
"What did you say?"
Xu Jie's eyes turned cold instantly.
"I said, I don't want to pay the five hundred yuan."
Tang Ming spoke calmly, looking at Xu Jie and others with a meaningful smile.
In his previous life, he was blackmailed by these people on the first day of school.
Because he was not given money, he was beaten, his desk and books were thrown out of the classroom, and he was bullied.
"Bang—" Xu Jie kicked the desk down with a violent expression: "You fucking say it again, why is a transfer student from other places so arrogant? If you don't pay, you won't be able to survive in the affiliated high school!"
Wang Chong quickly smoothed things over: "Brother Jie, don't be excited, don't be excited, give me some face..." Bang! Before he could finish his words, he was slapped by Wang Chong.
"You're a fucking piece of shit. Don't think that after playing a few football games with me, you can become brothers with me."
Xu Jie cursed: "It depends on your face. You have a lot of face. If you keep gibbering, I will beat you up too!"
"Brother Jie, do you think this will work? I have two hundred yuan here. Let's help Tang Ming pay it forward..." Wang Chong was slapped. He dared not speak out in anger, but he still took out two hundred yuan.
Xu Jie said indifferently: "Two hundred is not enough. If you want to help him, you need at least one thousand yuan."
Wang Chong's face was full of embarrassment.
He didn't have that much money, he only had two hundred yuan left.
"I'll pay out the remaining eight hundred yuan."
At this moment, a crisp voice sounded from the side.
Chen Siqi stood up and handed over eight hundred-dollar bills: "Xu Jie, this is Tang Ming's protection money. Don't cause trouble in the future."
"Chen Siqi, what is your relationship with this person..." Xu Jie's tone softened slightly.
Chen Siqi is not only the class beauty with many suitors, but she is also best friends with Tian Wenwen. Tian Wenwen's boyfriend Zhao Peng is also a popular figure in Zhonghai Affiliated High School and is someone he cannot mess with.
This alone made Wang Chong hesitate.
"I have nothing to do with him."
Chen Siqi glanced at Tang Ming and said coldly: "But you guys are making noise here and disturbing my homework review. Just take the money and leave. Don't make trouble in the future."
"Fine."
Xu Jie nodded slightly and reached out to get the money.
But suddenly, a hand stretched out in front of him and slapped his palm away.
"You can't take this money, and you can't take it away."
Tang Ming stood up slowly and pointed at the books scattered on the floor: "You soiled my book, pick it up and wipe it clean."
Wow.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him with strange eyes.
Wang Chong was stunned for a moment, then said with a ferocious smile: "Do you know what the hell you are talking about?
As a foreigner, who gives you the right to be arrogant?"
He took a step forward.
Several companions behind him also surrounded him fiercely and were about to take action.
"Tang Ming, are you stupid?"
Chen Siqi was also very dissatisfied and shouted: "If it weren't for my mother's sake, I wouldn't be too lazy to take care of this nonsense?
You'd better stop causing trouble, otherwise you'll be beaten back and sued, which will cause me to be taught a lesson by my mother."
"Don't worry, I won't tell Aunt Liu."
Tang Ming didn't even look at her, and continued to look at Xu Jie: "I'll say it one last time, pick up the book and wipe it clean!"
"a!"
Xu Jie cursed angrily and waved his hand to hit him.
When the slap was about to hit, Tang Ming grabbed his wrist like lightning and gave it a hard slap.
Click! The sound of cracking bones echoed throughout the audience.
