God of Tennis
< unexpected call # 2 >
A call from Joe. It was not a story I could pass on. I'm also returning home after rescheduling a tournament in March, unless it's a big deal.
I couldn't do it. Hanwoojin swept his head a few times for a new sudden encounter.
“You don't know why you're calling me? ”
“Yes, there is no explanation. I guess you'll have to tell me when we get there. ”
It was difficult. If you continue to return according to Chairman Cho's call, it will disrupt the schedule of the next contest in Hanwoojin.
At first glance, seasonal schedules seem to be tangled up in the ice, but seasonal schedules crafted by talented agents focus on athletes' condition and efficient points retrieval.
Yes, even if it is empty without a space, it is a pre-arranged seat considering the rest of the player.
Han Woo-jin thought for a moment, rolling the slab in his head. He put Merritt and Risk on the left and right sides of the scale, following Chairman's instructions, in an even colder manner.
"It's an order from the president, but it's not compulsory. Even if I don't go back this way, there won't be any inconvenience to my schedule or activities after that. ’
Even though Chairman Jo was the head and heart of NK shipments, not NK products.
There was not a single clause that could restrict Han Woojin's activities under the same circumstances in the previous two parties' agreements. Rather, the amount deposited as a bonus in the terms of the contract
This Hanwoojin's bank account balance would have been raised to the first unit I saw.
Even the most worrying influence of Chairman Jo is universal in Asia. The main stage of tennis is not within reach of Europe or the Americas. Holy shit.
Just because I refused to run once wasn't the kind of person who would do something like that.
Han Woo-jin rethinks his thoughts and throws his horse toward Shin Se-yeon, who was thinking about something in a similar manner. Rather than asking questions out of curiosity, a tone that seems to ask for your consent
was.
“If we head back now... I think we might have a problem." ”
“Since there was a tournament at the beginning of March and the end of March, two of them will be missing. We might have to do a little too much to cover it elsewhere. ”
Shin Se-yeon smiled lightly. She didn't know the current situation either. The momentum of Han Woo-jin who won the Sydney International and Brazil Open in a row was just as overwhelming. At this point, when the flow ceased, the reaction would return as much as the rush.
So I was going to get as many points as I could while Han Woo-jin was riding, but his sudden call shook the scenario she had set up from the ground up.
A. Moreover, he was the superior in the top of his head, so there was no objection.
Therefore, it was difficult for Shin Se-yeon to discuss the policy on this matter directly. Technically, she was an outsider hired by the NK product, but she was also an outsider,
I was not in a position to make decisions. It was limited to supporting Han Woo-jin's choice or adding a little flair.
After all, it was Hanwoojin's role to choose the choice.
‘If we don't make it back... we can make the season go smoothly. If you rank at the same speed now, you can also aim for the top 20 in the world before Roland Garros. Sidha at Wimbledon
I will be mine. ’
Hanwoojin's calculations were accurate without errors. He was already ranked 68th in the world ranking by winning over Sydney International. Minimum after Brazil Open ranking points
I could also look at the top 50, or even the top 50. It was still mid-February. Four months is plenty of time for a tennis player who can compete in three races in as many months as possible.
It was.
Perhaps this is the king's choice. Hanwoojin could be sure. If you choose this option, you will be able to follow the smooth path and enter the Wimbledon Championship you were aiming for. In a dream.
Even the bluish lawn coat, which had not been faded by light, seemed to be dazzling before my eyes.
Then why am I hesitating?
My mouth hardly falls out. Of course, there was a possibility that Han Woo-jin wouldn't go as he thought. Just as everything is not a dice game in the palm of someone's hand, when do people
I just choose what I think is best. Without realizing if it's really for the best or not.
Moreover, Chairman Jo had the grace to wear. He would have chosen Han Woo-jin and Choi to fulfill his dream without giving it to him.
‘But grace is grace. ’
But what he gave was never small, apart from his intentions. There is no tennis player anywhere in Korea, and in no time has ever signed a contract with Han Woo-jin on the best terms.
There.
At the time of the contract, they were both said to be talented, but they had never jumped in a professional race. No matter how accurate the director's eyes are, I'm lucky to be on the pro stage.
It is also followed. There was no sponsor to take the unproven rookies and promise their full support.
Yeah, until Chairman Joe showed up.
“… let's go back. ”
Hanwoojin chose to return. The Bible says that animals are not the only ones who do not know grace. He realizes that his position is not built on his own strength. Fumigation of the System
I wasn't talking about regression. It was thanks to those who secretly helped him.
The former director who believed in himself, Chairman Jo, who pledged his support to the wavering dogs, and Shin Se-yeon, Claycoat, who has been following him all this time without hesitation.
Even Dunn Radar... There was no end to the count.
It was not a big idea to repay the favor. I just held his hand for help.
“Then I'll book a plane ticket right away. We should be able to board by tomorrow morning. ”
“Will it take about 40 hours this time? ”
As soon as he heard the sound of the plane, Han Woo-jin asked, disgusted by the thought of the last trauma. The flight lasted almost two days, but even after the ligaments were severed, only his teeth were clenched, and Hanwoojin was patient.
I was about to be eaten. The distance between Brazil and South Korea was so far that it was a disaster because the route was essential.
“Well... I don't think that's it. ”
Fortunately, Shin Se-yeon shakes her head. When she was reserving plane tickets on her laptop, she read down the estimated flight times for their flight tomorrow morning.
At the same time, Hanwoojin's complexion, which had only been brightened for a short while, turned to road mud.
“34 hours and 20 minutes. Six hours down. ”
Oh, my God. Han Woo-jin has a forehead.
* * *
“Is that why he's like this? ”
The sound of walking shook Han Woo-jin's head. It was because the former director who was walking nearby raised his quantity. After a dozen hours of flight, he was exhausted.
I looked at Woojin and asked him how he was doing with a worried voice. After hearing the reason from Shin Se-yeon, he turned into a nonsense face.
“I can't stand Woojin's silence...”
Instead of Hanwoojin, who was walking flutteringly, I got a horse with a shaky face. I can't believe she stayed on that plane for so long.
Lyra.
However, the director held his head together a few times with a reasonable face in the brief description.
“Woojin can't stand him standing still. I told you to get some rest, and then a few days later, you're in the training room holding the reinforcements, so your ranking doesn't change.
Bay. ”
He was grumbling and grumbling with his mouth, but his eyes were warm as if he could see a well-raised child. I was impressed by Han Woo-jin's sincere attitude before.
I was a former director. Thinking that the sweaty effort had been rewarded, even the ugliness was overwhelming.
After chattering and walking around like an invoice, Han Woo-jin regained his strength. Since there was quite a lot going on in just two months, there were many stories to talk about in the garage.
The three people who shared the aftermath reached the top floor of one of the Sanga NK products headquarters. Han Woo-jin has been there once. The pinnacle of NK products, the room where the General Chairman stayed.
“Welcome. The Chairman is waiting for you. ”
This time, the guards didn't stop them like before. Instead, I bent at my waist in a polite manner as if I had received a warning in advance. I think from the moment I arrived at the desk on the first floor,
It looks like you're getting ready to meet the group. Maybe he got it right with the head of the security team.
The door is halfway open, as if you didn't have to knock. The group unhesitantly opens the rest of the doors. Then a gentle herbal scent flows from within the room and floats around them. It looked like Chairman Jo had put a potted plant inside.
“Oh, there you are! You don't look so good for the Reaper. Is there anything wrong with him? ”
Chairman Jo greeted them as soon as they entered. As I approached Han Woo-jin, I couldn't move fast enough at my age. Somehow, now more than ever.
I even felt like I was flowing regularly. No, it wasn't because of the mood, it really was.
“It's been a long time, Chairman. He's just been on a plane for a long time, and he's a little bit seasick. ”
“Oh no, you can't do that. Don't just stand there. Sit down. I can't even face my customers like that. ”
The three of them sat down, overwhelmed. Even though he was a male in his fifties, he could be trusted. She's boiling vitals to see how many bottles of regenerative medicine she's taken.
It was.
As Hanwoojin's group sits down, he looks back at you for a moment while thinking in haste. Chairman Cho took his lips off after roughly 30 stings.
“Hmm, where should I start...”
Shin Se-yeon, the tribute ceremony, and the Chairman's gaze, which was moving to Han Woo-jin, immediately stopped fixed on Han Woo-jin. It's just been quiet for a while, since he's still in grade.He's been elevated ever since.
I handed the congregation over in a voice that was unable to defeat me.
“First of all, let's celebrate. I hear Sydney and Brazil both have the cup. You and Choi Yeon-hyeok have been giving me a lot of weight lately. ”
“Go, thank you. ”
I never thought I'd be celebrated like this. Chairman Cho stretched his hand over the table because it was not enough. Han Woo-jin hurriedly shook his wrinkled hand a few times. Traces of Time
The silver grip was thin, but there was no mate.
It wasn't until after the sudden handshake that Chairman Jo came to the point. He blurs in one sentence why he summoned Han Woojin's group and why he created such a bold space.
“By the end of March, I was able to attract an ATP league in my country. ”
And it was static for a while. Even when I heard the director's voice for the first time, my eyes flashed like a royal flurry. When I arrived at Hanwoojin and Shin Se-yeon, I was just jabbering and bewildered.
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
Whether it was a role model for the elderly, the first person to come to his senses was the former director. In a trembling voice, he asked again to confirm what he had just heard.
“A, A, ATP leagues? ”
“Yeah, that's ATP500, too. ”
“5, 500! ”
For a moment, even though I was resolute, the director joined the ranks of two people who had opened their mouths in a daze. It was worth it after freezing.
I'm surprised that the ATP League is held in Korea, plus 500? What the hell was the tennis league thinking of attracting the competition?
Several questions are raised, and the guard repeated several times.
Chairman Cho smiled with a joyful look as if he understood their distress. To see this reaction, I pressed and endured the urge I had been wanting to say. Proud and cheerful, he
In addition, many emotions erupted like active volcanoes.
Having barely recovered his words, Han Woo-jin lightly shook his lips and asked a question. I was guessing, but getting answers was another story.
“Well, then, Chairman, The reason you called me now...”
“Of course it's the competition. ”
The chairman raises his eyes as sharp and firm as that of a raptor. The competition was the first ATP league in Korea. With the support of Chairman Jo to the size of the prize money,
I was upgraded to ATP500. I had no choice but to expect that.
And his intentions were different.
“This is the first ATP league in Korea. It's also a chance to spread the word of tennis to people in my country. ”
It's not like Futures or Challengers leagues that don't know where it's going to be held, when it's going to be opened, and when it's going to end. The ATP League, which even uses the Olympic stadium, is like a festival that the whole city is crazy about.
Sada, what Joe was after was the publicity effect.
“People in my country are surprisingly patriotic in sports. I am enthusiastic and proud that a great athlete is Korean hybrid. How rare and pure.
There's nothing to say to a Korean. ”
It's like a fool not to know what you've heard so far. At this point, Han Woo-jin sensed what he was going to ask himself and immediately estimated the difficulty of the request.
The color was pale.
On the other hand, Chairman Jo suddenly bowed his head, holding Han Woo-jin's hand again.
“This is why I summoned you. I know it sounds overwhelming.... But I have to ask you. ”
There was a seething look on his face as he leaned down and came back up. Ghosts were shocked, so I was ready to run around.
Where the hell did he get seventy years old?
Hanwoojin, who tried to withdraw without even knowing it, was stopped by his holding hands. It's not a grip. Different weights tighten your grip.
Han Woo-jin's ears, caught in an inevitable escape, echoes the hot, locked voice of Chairman Jo.
“This ATP500 Seoul Open, Han Woo-jin, I want you to win. ”
