Chapter 137 Sports Meeting
Early Thursday morning.
The new IV and AI departments of the technical channel and several hundred employees of the sales department of the marketing channel came to the Royal Songshan Sports and Fitness Resort in the suburbs.
The Songshan Resort project involves tourism and vacation, hotel villas, tourism real estate, etc. In addition, it also has the largest sports theme park in the country. The main projects include paragliding, off-road vehicles, equestrianism, archery, speedboats, lake cycling and other sports.
Zhencheng Company’s badminton project is located in the gymnasium in the park and the competition schedule is two days.
The temperature in the park is slightly lower than in the city, but it is still around 25 degrees during the day.
Everyone wore blue quick-drying sports T-shirts with the company logo and name printed on them, but some people wore the T-shirts over their long-sleeved T-shirts, while others wore small jackets or sun protection clothing on the outside.
Zhao Wenjing wore a white badminton skirt today. In addition to the company's short-sleeved top, she also wore a cardigan jacket. The shoes and hat were also specially chosen with blue elements. The long curly hair that she usually likes to wear was tied up in a high ponytail today. She also wore a sports headband on her forehead and carried two badminton rackets on her back.
When Xu Nanhe saw her, he said, "I don't know how well you play basketball, but this outfit looks very professional."
Zhao Wenjing turned around and let him look at the shot behind her, "My coach picked it for me personally."
Xu Nanhe teased: "You still have a coach. You just learned it recently, right?"
"Don't underestimate me. When I was in school and weighed over 90 pounds, I often played badminton with the people in the dormitory. I'm learning it now just because... after the Chinese New Year, I gained another 6 pounds, and I want to find an interesting sport to stick with."
"How much weight have you lost?"
Zhao Wenjing gave Xu Nanhe a sharp look and said, "I gained a pound."
Xu Nanhe laughed.
Lu Xingchen also laughed.
Zhao Wenjing saw that she didn't even bring a badminton racket. She was wearing only loose black casual pants. Because she was thin and tall, the company T-shirt over her white long-sleeved T-shirt still looked loose and casual. This was a figure that she could never envy.
"Xingchen, are you not bringing a racket or playing basketball?"
"Do not hit."
"No way. Women's singles and doubles, men's singles and doubles, mixed doubles. The top 20 will get an air fryer or a soy milk maker. The top 10 will get a laptop or a projector. The top 6 will get the latest mobile phones. The third place will get 20,000 yuan in cash. The second place will get 30,000 yuan. The first place will get 50,000 yuan. There are only 400 to 500 people in total. What if these programmers who sit in front of the computer all day don't like to exercise? Wouldn't it be easy to get an air fryer?"
Lu Xingchen: "Then I'll be one less competitor, and you'll be one step closer to the top 20."
"Don't bring such." Zhao Wenjing turned to look at Xu Nanhe, who was wearing only a company T-shirt and black sweatpants. Although his outfit was not very good, the bag on his back looked good. There were two well-worn tennis rackets in the bag. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't say you are good at badminton."
Xu Nanhe thought for a moment and said, "My goal is just to change my phone."
"Oh my god!" Zhao Wenjing couldn't believe it. "Are you a great god?"
Xu Nanhe added, "What if these programmers are the same as you? I will try my best to get into the top three."
"Go to hell!" Zhao Wenjing cursed with a smile and then fawned over and said, "If I get a discount in singles, Master, can you take me to mixed doubles?"
Xu Nanhe: "As long as you are not too new, it should be no problem for me to take you to get the air fryer."
"Oh my god." Zhao Wenjing turned to Lu Xingchen and said very contentedly, "Look, with double protection, how can the air fryer escape from my hands?"
At nine o'clock, everyone started warming up and stretching in the venue. The host Wen Tao explained the precautions and then the rules.
The original competition between the two departments was not a battle between the Sales Department and the AI Department, but a melee.
What this means is that the AI department can play against the AI department, or an AI department can team up with a person from the sales department. In short, no matter who plays against whom, or who forms a pair, as long as they get a ranking, they can get a prize.
In order to save time and energy, the game adopts an 11-point system, with the winner determined by two out of three.
There are more than 20 courts in the badminton hall, surrounded by stepped spectator seats. Most people have entered the courts to play, and there are not many spectators left. Some sit in the front row very close to the courts, and some sit on the benches beside the courts.
Lu Xingchen, who was sitting in the audience, saw Zhao Wenjing enthusiastically watching the players' skills, and then picked out a few who didn't look like they were very good at playing in the women's singles.
If the amateur level is divided into 9 levels, Zhao Wenjing's level is probably between 4 and 5, which is a common level for girls in ordinary gymnasiums.
This type of girl has a good feel for the ball, quick reactions, and can smash some balls in good positions, but her power is not strong enough, so the opponent can basically receive the ball as long as their ability is comparable to hers.
When encountering a player with a level of more than 5 or above, their smash with this kind of power will be easily hit by the net. Since they cannot return the power immediately after the smash and do not have professional footwork, most of them will lose the ball.
Coincidentally, Zhao Wenjing had only been learning to play tennis for a month, during which time she was usually learning the steps, so she used this advantage to win two female employees of the same level as her. Then when she ran towards Xu Nanhe on the sidelines, she looked like a child weighing more than 130 pounds.
Zhao Wenjing said excitedly: "Well, I'll just say I'm a flexible fat guy!"
While Xu Nanhe was making fun of her, he also explained to her in detail how to avoid some of her mistakes on the court, and then taught her some more practical fighting methods in the short term.
It has to be said that Zhao Wenjing was in very good shape and had very good luck today. Twenty minutes later, her opponent was at least at the level of a 6th dan player in Lu Xingchen's opinion. After Zhao Wenjing chased her to a 1:1 tie, she narrowly won the third game with a score of 11:9.
After shaking hands with the other party, Zhao Wenjing happily went down to the sidelines shouting "air fryer".
In Lu Xingchen's eyes, she was cute, but Zhang Xinran and Tan Lina on the sidelines felt that she was getting too proud of herself. After they looked at each other, Zhang Xinran curled the corners of her mouth, picked up her racket, stood up and walked towards Zhao Wenjing, smiled and said a few words to her, then walked back and sat down next to Tan Lina.
Because it was quite noisy inside the court and Xu Nanhe was playing men's singles on the court, Lu Xingchen didn't know how Zhao Wenjing answered Zhang Xinran, but ten minutes later a court was vacant and Zhang Xinran was the first to walk onto the court. Zhao Wenjing put the towel on her tennis bag, picked up her racket and walked to the opposite side of her.
Xu Nanhe, who was standing across two courts, turned his head and looked over several times, but the scorekeeper of Zhao Wenjing's field had already reset the scoreboard to zero and was ready to start the game.
Lu Xingchen frowned slightly. She had never seen Zhang Xinran play, but no matter what her level was, Zhao Wenjing should not accept this challenge because she had already played three games. The last game was a situation where the weak played against the strong, which was the most physically demanding. And Zhang Xinran could see her level clearly.
Lu Xingchen looked at the competition field, picked up the water cup beside her, twisted it open and took a sip of water. At this time, Du Xinrui, who had just won a game on the field, sat next to her, "You really don't want to play a game?"
Lu Xingchen twisted the water cup, looked at her and said with a smile: "Team leader, you played very well."
Du Xinrui's level is about 6, which is considered above average among ordinary girls. Du Xinrui smiled and said, "It's because we haven't beaten the masters yet. Look at our chief supervisor, he is really amazing!"
Chen Xiaolin participated in company competitions, and many people knew she was a good player, so they pulled her into the game. She also took good care of her opponents, adjusting her strength according to their strengths, so that the opponents would not lose too badly but still feel that it was interesting.
After hearing what Du Xinrui said, Lu Xingchen smiled and admitted, "She played very well."
At least by the time she knew about it, he was already at the 9th dan among amateurs.
At this time, Chen Xiaolin was sent off by everyone. Her assistant Xu Lu turned on the water and handed it to her, "Boss, I guess you don't sweat when you beat these people, do you?"
Chen Xiaolin took a sip of water and said, "As long as everyone is happy."
Xu Lu sat closer and pointed at Lu Xingchen in the audience across from her. "It's a pity that the champion didn't come down, otherwise I could have tortured her for you."
Chen Xiaolin looked at her when she heard this, "What did you say?"
Xu Lu said: "I think Lu Xingchen doesn't even dare to come down to the sidelines. She probably doesn't know how to play badminton. Otherwise, we can dampen her spirit on the court."
Chen Xiaolin silently screwed the lid of the water bottle on, then smiled and looked at Xu Lu, "Do you think so?"
"Isn't that right?"
Of course not. Chen Xiaolin looked across two venues at the person sitting in the audience who had no strong presence except for his good looks.
There are such lucky people in this world, who are not only smart but also extremely talented in athletics, and most importantly, they are very hardworking, so no matter what they want to do, they can accomplish it with twice the result with half the effort.
She once thought that Lu Xingchen would end up in her current situation because God probably realized that he had forgotten to close any window in Lu Xingchen's life, so he pushed her to the bottom of her life nineteen years later.
Just as she was thinking about it, Xu Lu suddenly pulled her excitedly and said, "Boss, look, CEO Li and CEO Jiang are here!"
