God of Tennis

The day after the fierce finals of the Seoul Open, Han Woo-jin sought out the NK Seas headquarters as Chairman Cho called him. He found headquarters around lunch, as I heard from the director yesterday, but somehow the timing wasn't good.

I received a reply that I was still in a meeting.

‘We'll just have to wait. ’

No matter how much I was in a meeting, I couldn't just go back.

Besides, there was plenty of time anyway. Among all the competitions that the Seoul Open has been to date, Hanwoo Jinn had a generous schedule after the Games, which predicted that it would be within three fingers. Wait a few minutes, a few hours.

There was nothing wrong with that.

“Can I wait until the meeting is over? ”

When Han Woo-jin asked me that, the desk clerk who was standing with the sorry face replied with a glare. Maybe he wanted to leave like this.

“Oh, I'll show you to the waiting room. I've also contacted the chairman, so he should be able to see you as soon as the meeting is over. ”

“Then let's do it. ”

Hanwoojin then took to the elevator as instructed. Despite the rapid pace of 1 · · · 2 · · · · 3 · · ·, the elevator went up gently without any noise and stopped at the same time as the number 7 came up. The waiting room is probably seven stories up.

It seemed to be equipped with.

“Rest well. When I have time, I'll call you on the extension attached to your wall. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

When the guidance was completed, the employee finally stepped back from the waiting room. Han Woo-jin, who was left alone in a large waiting room, looked around for a moment. It was not just broad. It was the perfect resting area with soda drinks, coffee, bread or snacks. It was a good place for visitors or exhausted staff to catch their breath.

However, for Han Woo-jin who had eaten well until lunch, the spacious waiting room was not even a heartbeat. Leaning against the soft couch, Han Woojin's eyelids collapsed, who hated spending his time in vain.

‘Maybe they're checking the status window. ’

Yesterday there were so many things that I did not check the message even though there was a great case of winning the ATP500. When I had a chance, I thought of clearing my head.

Soon, I began to think of the notifications that passed through Han Woojin's head yesterday.

[Fierce Play! Increase Strength and Agility Stamina by 1 for the first time in the ATP500 League.]

[Fierce Play! Skills used to win ATP500 League Finals increase greatly in EXP.]

[Win over 50 ranking differences! EXP will be added.]

[The sub's level has increased by 1.]

[Dropshot level has increased by 1.]

[Forhand level has increased by 1.]

A large number of messages passed through Hanwoojin's brain one after the other. It appeared that a substantial stat increase was made in the price of winning the ATP500 league, plus Angie Rhodes. Be the Core of Style

The second one was stronger, and the second one was more agile.

However, Han Woo-jin's remarks were about skill level advancements.

‘This makes the sublevel 19 · · · but it's not the same as when you get Stinger. I don't think being sub-level 20 will evolve the Stinger in any other form. ’

Previously, there were restrictions on the use of special skills as the sub reached level 14. If he's right, even if the sublevel reaches 20, it's unlikely that new technology will emerge. And when that happens, Han Woo-jin will have a new specialty.

It would have taken some time to acquire the skill.

If it's a potential skill, it could be a level up hand and a level up Bali. Other than using it as a mainstay, it seemed difficult to expect a fast growth width.

After a thorough check to the status window, Hanwoojin immediately opened his eyes. His eyes, which had confirmed his growth, were full of energy that had never been seen before.

“Still one step further, I see. ”

Not yet. Radale, you must not raise your skills to the level of Roger. To aim for a Grand Slam victory trophy, that skill is essential. There is an unattainable notice standing here.

But let's be happy today. Give a compliment to the excited self, satisfied with yesterday's victory.

Hanwoojin loosened his stiff face and put his weight on a soft sofa leather. I gently tickled the sore muscles with a pleasant feeling of dehydration.

However, that leisure time could not last long. It was because Han Woo-jin looked for him with a phone attached to the wall, scared to release his strength.

At the top of this building, Chairman Jo was calling him.

* * *

How many times have I told you this?

Now, Han Woo-jin, who entered the room that looked familiar, noticed a strange fragrance flowing through the room. Finding the source was not so difficult. Chairman Jo is looking at the buttons, the fragrance from the machine.

was.

“I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I'm more interested in meetings than I thought. · · Hmm, would you like some coffee? ”

“Oh, thank you. ”

Hanwoojin stepped onto the couch across from Cho. After operating the device by putting the capsule in with skill, Chairman Cho poured the soft brown coffee into the glass in less than two minutes. Just smell it.

It smelled so good that I thought it was worth it.

‘It will taste bitter. ’

Han Woo-jin didn't like coffee very much. Sweet canned coffee, but it was hard to drink a few bitter ones like Americano or Espresso. What smells so good goes in your mouth.

I wonder if it tastes like chewing. I'd be happy to drink it if it tasted half as good as the smell.

“Here, take it. ”

Chairman Jo pushed the cup forward. He picked up the cup as he was given and smelled it first. This is the culprit of the scent that filled the room. The taste of bitterness spread in my mouth.

He's out.

Did I frown without knowing it? Chairman Cho lowers his cup, smiling coolly. Coffee did not decrease by half.

“Hahaha! You know that look. Well, how many people drink coffee? ”

“I'm sorry, you've been on board · ·”

“Never mind. There's plenty I don't drink with this either. It smells good. It burns. I can't eat it. How expensive it is. After all, it's all soybean powder juice. ”

“Phew.”

Chairman Cho straightforward said, Han Woo-jin's sandals twisted. It was the price for making a laughter to explode. The soybean powder juice, I didn't think anyone else would say it, and I didn't even know it was coming from Joe's mouth.

He always seemed so strict. Even intimacy rose with a modest look. Chairman Jo continued the conversation with a meaningless smile.

“Yes, it's good to laugh. Did you have a good rest last night? ”

“Yes, well rested. And thank you, Chairman. My parents loved it. ”

A special room at a high-end restaurant overlooking the nearby night, where you can order anything you want. In a place that would not normally have been a luxury, the family met together as a group and resolved the reunion. How much is all this?

My mom used to eat standing ovations, and then she smiled and said she'd pay for it. It was because of Cho's consideration.

“Good. I was wondering if you didn't like Italian food. It's been a while. ”

They don't even fertilize. As if it were natural, Chairman Cho showed the right distribution for his position. In fact, it was nothing to him to be considerate of. A sumptuous meal for a young man you like, and why you want money

Not even a little.

No matter which sand was stiff, the atmosphere disappeared everywhere. It was because the boundaries that existed between the two people were blurred by the coming and going emotions. In that soft air, Chairman Jo brings up the subject that hasn't been brought up.

I heard.

“I called you here today because I have something to tell you about a new contract. ”

“A new contract? ”

Hanwoojin puzzled. It was a one-time renewal agreement to win the ATP League. Moreover, the terms of the contract were overwhelmingly good compared to other athletes. But we need to get a new contract.

I didn't know if I was there.

Instead of going straight to the explanation of the contract, Chairman Cho turned to another story. It didn't have anything to do with the contract I just mentioned.

“I'll tell you the good news first. As much as it happened because of you, you need to know. ”

“I'm curious to hear you say that. ”

“I won't let my expectations go. ”

In a few words, after emptying half the coffee left, Joe showed his teeth and smiled fiercely, unlike before.

“Following the ATP500 Seoul Open, ATP League will be attracted to Daegu and Busan. It's probably 250. ”

“Are you sure? ”

Han Woo-jin was startled and opened his mouth. It was different from the Seoul Open, which was created by hard underwater work on NK products. With this, Korea will have three ATP competitions, which is the ATP Association's perception of Korea

It could also be evidence that it had been corrected somewhat.

“What are you so surprised about? It's all because of you. ”

“Because of me? ”

“Think about it. I lost to the guy who was judged to be nothing, so what can I do to gain his pride as a loser? ”

It sounded like a riddle, but Han Woo-jin knew exactly what the trillion-chairman meant. In order for a loser to defend his position, he needed to justify the fact that he had been defeated first. Explain their cowardice.

Or convince them that their condition was not intact. If not,

“· · · You need to improve your opponent. ”

“Precisely.”

Recognizing and standing up for others that they deserved to lose. The policy adopted by the association was similar. I made that decision in recognition of the fact that Korea has built a superior tennis infrastructure for world rankers.

W-well, there was nothing wrong with saying that it was because of a rainstorm.

Chairman Cho gladly looked at the clever young man in front of him and confided in him that he had not told anyone yet. I needed to tell Han Woo-jin as much.

“So I'm going to take this opportunity to expand our national tennis infrastructure. I intend to raise youth through after-school activities like Japan and put tennis centers everywhere so that citizens can reach them easily. I'm gonna fry some beans in the back.

I also received a promise from the Ministry of Busy Culture and Tourism to actively support me. ”

“Well, I see. ”

Han Woo-jin couldn't hide a slightly bewildered aura from Cho's words that followed like a rapid fire blast. It was because I didn't know why he was saying this to himself. It was a great ambition, but Han Woo-jin knew about it.

I don't think Raj has a point.

“You must be wondering, why am I talking to you like this? ”

“· · Yes. ”

I was a ghostly old man, just like the director said. Han Woo-jin nodded, not denying. Just as Chairman Jo knew it would be, this time I brought out the real matter that called him today.

“In order for a sport to emerge, you need an icon. like Cha Beom-geun, who used to light up Korean football on the European stage, or Park Chan-ho, who used to command the Major League during the IMF. ”

It was the right thing to say. Although the people of this age may not know it, Hanwoojin, who knows it until 10 years from now, could nod more easily. You don't have to go to Ali, who fought racism, to become a boxing hero in the Philippines.

I couldn't argue with Pacquiao.

However, Han Woo-jin did not fight back. Instead, I looked at Chairman Jo with a stiff face. Chairman Cho added with a big smile.

“I knew you had a good head. And I'm very calm. It's a great advantage to be able to see things without getting excited at that age. ”

He was finally convinced of what Chairman Jo was calling to say. I even felt the air tighten as if the pressure had risen too high.

And finally, lightning fell from Joe's mouth.

“Yes, as expected. I intend to make you an icon of Korean tennis. ”
