Ling Zhi was shocked. Shi Yulu's words solved some of his doubts.
Why did Jiang Jun practice on the table like a familiar before the game? And why was he so implicitly aggressive towards himself and invited himself to such a fierce competition right from the start?
It seems that the answer is obvious, but...
"You, you know that this is your junior brother's common practice table, why do you still let me practice on this table? Didn't you deliberately set me up against Jiang Jun?"
Ling Zhi asked angrily.
Shi Yulu was a little flustered. She hooked the corner of her mouth with her index finger, not daring to look at Ling Zhi:
"me......"
"Okay, I won't do this next time."
Lingzhi didn't intend to embarrass Shi Yulu, and directly settled the matter and let it go.
Shi Yulu's bitter face suddenly turned into a playful smile:
"Hey, senior brother, you are still nice to me!"
As if she was afraid that Ling Zhi would fall out again, she hurriedly left here and returned to her usual table to practice ball.
Ling Zhi sighed, feeling that this girl was no worse than Zhao Shiyan. He thought about it and felt that he should find Jiang Jun to explain to prevent him from misunderstanding.
And just as Ling Zhi looked around the club, looking for Jiang Jun, a voice came from behind again:
"Are you Ling Zhi? Xingchen's new apprentice?"
Ling Zhi turned around and saw a slightly familiar figure.
"Yes, that's right, it's me. Are you...Coach Li?"
Ling Zhi has never met coach Li Jianbing, but Ling Zhi knows it. Although this club is now called Feimeng Billiards Club, it was called Li Jianbing Billiards Club in the early years.
Although the name has been changed now, there are still posters of Coach Li in the club, so Lexus can still recognize Coach Li.
The middle-aged man nodded, and his angular brows revealed rigor and seriousness, which made Ling Zhi feel a little worried, worried that Coach Li would be a little embarrassed to speak.
But Ling Zhi was obviously over-worrying. When Coach Li spoke again, Ling Zhi felt as if there was a different person in front of him:
"Yes, you have a good foundation and the ability to correct mistakes on the spot. In this regard, you are much better than Jiang Jun."
This sudden compliment caught Ling Zhi off guard:
"Coach, thank you. I think Jiang Jun's foundation is much better than mine. His positioning is as precise as a scalpel. I can't do this yet."
Li Jianbing nodded first, then shook his head. Without comment, he lightly patted Ling Zhi on the shoulder:
"It's okay. You continue to practice. Remember to attend the opening ceremony in the afternoon on time."
"Well, thank you."
The greetings during the first meeting made Ling Zhi feel that coach Li Jianbing was quite approachable. Combined with the situation of Shi Yulu and Jiang Jun, Ling Zhi was somewhat envious of the training environment here.
The reason why they are so strong is that they must have fought a lot of confrontations in private, which is something Lexus lacks.
There are gradually more people in the club. Many children gather in twos and threes next to some middle eight ball tables to start sparring. Some parents bring their children to observe the environment. The noise and noise in the ball room are endless.
However, there are no children coming to join in the fun at the Snooker table. After all, some of the children who come here to practice are not even as tall as a cue stick, and the area of the Snooker table limits the performance of these children.
Thanks to this, Lexus is happy and pure.
Looking around the ball room again, Ling Zhi still didn't find Jiang Jun, but instead he saw an acquaintance - Wang Siheng.
Ling Zhi waved to him, and Wang Siheng quickly saw Ling Zhi and walked over:
"Lingzhi, you came so early and are practicing alone? Take me with you."
Ling Zhi had already been worried about it and said with a smile:
"I have been practicing for a long time and want to take a break. In this way, you practice first and I will sit next to you for a while."
"okok, you can rest."
Wang Siheng didn't know why and started practicing directly.
Although he specializes in Chinese billiards, it's not even 11 o'clock yet and the Chinese table is already occupied by children, so he has no choice.
But it doesn't matter, practicing Snooker is not bad either.
Ling Zhi packed up his clubs and did not sit next to Wang Siheng. Instead, he took the club case and sat far away, just enough to see Wang Siheng.
Five minutes later, Ling Zhi saw Jiang Jun appear.
He saw Jiang Jun and Wang Siheng arguing about something. After a while, Wang Siheng seemed to be defeated and obediently gave the table to Jiang Jun. Ling Zhi watched this scene silently, making no moves on the surface, but silently in his heart.
"Guilt".
I'm sorry, Brother Wang, for letting you take the blame.
...
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the opening ceremony finally began.
Ling Zhi also met coach Xingchen as he wished. Ling Zhi had not seen him for a long time since the Eagle Championship last year.
"The time of the opening ceremony was temporarily changed and I didn't notify you in time. Don't worry."
The coach was still the same, with both hands in his pockets and a smile on his face.
"It's okay, it's okay. I think it's good to have a chance to communicate with Shi Yulu and Jiang Jun in advance."
Lexus didn't mind at all.
The coach smiled and nodded, looked in the direction of Shi Yulu, and said with emotion:
"She has grown into a big girl before I know it. I really miss her."
Lexus couldn't help but be curious:
"Coach, speaking of which, I'm quite curious, what was Shi Yulu like when she was practicing when she was a child?"
"Hey, then I have to talk to you carefully. She was much more noisy when she was a child than she is now, and she was not obedient at all..."
Ling Zhi listened to Shi Yulu's past dark history with relish, thinking that this shouldn't be too much, after all, this damn girl also plotted against him.
But after talking for a while, Xingchen suddenly changed the topic and said meaningfully:
"This time the new college opens classes, you may have to work hard."
Lexus has already been mentally prepared:
"Are you talking about bringing up new students? I know this. If you need help, I will do my best."
Xingchen smiled and did not answer directly. Instead, he looked at the young students not far away:
"How many of these children do you think have no basic knowledge of billiards?"
Ling Zhi looked in the direction where the coach's eyes were pointing. Many children gathered together and whispered, and some stood blankly next to their parents, looking a little at a loss.
Ling Zhi made an estimate and said tentatively:
"Probably less than half. Are you saying that teaching these young students who have no basic knowledge is the biggest difficulty in this class?"
"It's part of it."
For some reason, Ling Zhi felt that the coach's face had become serious. Just when he was about to ask again, not far away, coach Li Jianbing began to remind everyone to gather around:
"Parents and children, please turn off the table. Our opening ceremony will begin soon."
Coach Xingchen took the opportunity to stop talking:
"Forget it, you will know from now on. Let's go and listen to Lao Li's speech first."
Ling Zhi nodded and did not ask any further questions. In any case, just do what you can do at the moment. There is no use thinking too much.
The layout of Feimeng Billiards Club is basically that the front desk is in the middle and the tables are scattered around, forming a pattern like stars over the moon.
Just like a general club, there are some rooms around for mahjong and other entertainment activities, but the coach said that these rooms will be used as classrooms for classes later.
There were many people gathered in the ball room. Ling Zhi estimated that there might be nearly a hundred people.
If parents and individual guests were excluded, the actual number of students and guests attending the opening ceremony might have exceeded 80 people.
Lexus has only seen such a grand occasion during the Citizen Cup.
"Huh... Huh... Hey! Hey! Okay, don't worry about the guests over there, we are holding an event."
Li Jianbing smiled and greeted a few tables of individual customers not far away, saying that they could just continue playing.
However, with so many people gathered in the club, even the guests were somewhat interested in this event, so they nodded to Coach Li, but had no intention of continuing to play.
Students and parents gathered around the nearby ball table, and most of them were standing.
A few naughty children wanted to sit on the table, but were pulled down by their parents.
Coach Li stood in front of a counter, looked at the guests with a smile, and started his speech:
"Good afternoon to all students and parents, welcome to Feimeng Billiards Club. Here, I would like to sincerely thank you all for your support of Guangfu Snooker Academy."
"My name is Li Jianbing, a senior coach certified by the Chinese Billiards Association and the person in charge of this club."
"The opening of this class has also received support from many units such as the China Taiwan Association. We are also honored to invite famous referees and coaches to participate in this opening ceremony."
"Now, please allow me to introduce to you Mr. Xu Yuebin, the dean of Pingcheng Snooker College, the champion of the National Snooker Team Championship, and a national coach! Please give a speech to everyone!"
The scene immediately burst into thunderous applause.
For people like Ling Zhi, meeting Xu Yuebin is equivalent to meeting a legend.
Xu Yuebin has been active in Chinese Taiwan circles since the last century.
When he was a child, Ling Zhi could often see Xu Yuebin's commentary on TV. At that time, he didn't know Xu Yuebin's identity, but he just knew that he was very powerful and could be on TV.
After going to college, Ling Zhi gradually learned about the various titles Xu Yuebin had received. These titles indeed showed the various honors Xu Yuebin had received in his half-life. However, in comparison, there was one honor that far exceeded those on his face.
title, that is:
All the current Travel Eagle players were once students under his tutelage!
So Ling Zhi was very excited to see this legendary coach in person.
For people like coach Xingchen, meeting Xu Yuebin is like meeting his senior, and applauding is a sign of respect from the heart.
For other students and parents, the name Xu Yuebin may not be attractive. What is attractive is the string of prefixes mentioned by Li Jianbing.
After all, he is a "national-level" coach. This time he sent his children to study, but it seemed that they were not sent to any pheasant school, so the parents had more expectations for the prospect of starting this class.
In this way, with a different mood, everyone welcomed the most important guest since the opening of Guangfu Snooker College!
