Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 33 Four-Leaf Clover Pendant (Please continue reading)
After resolving the leave issue, Jiang Hong returned to his dormitory.

Some time ago, Jiang Hong had already been preparing to officially enter the professional competition.

Although training can earn him a prize of one or two hundred dollars, it's not enough to support Jiang Hong's journey of running competitions all over the world.

Therefore, his focus for now remains on competitions held domestically.

Jiang Hong had already applied for a passport and registered as an official player with the International Tennis Federation some time ago.

There are no specific requirements; you can register if you want, since there is an annual fee to pay.

The biggest advantage is that it offers more freedom and doesn't require various censorship measures.

In addition, a $7 event service fee is required to participate in the competition.

Although Jiang Hong isn't exactly rich, he can still afford to pay these fees!

Based on the information Jiang Hong collected during this period...

There are not many Hope Series events held in China at present, only a total of seven.

However, the first stop was in Tianjin, and the second and third stops were in Beijing. These three stops have already been held.

Jiang Hong could only choose to compete in the two races in Shanghai and the races in Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

The competition times for the Guangzhou and Shenzhen legs conflict, so only one leg can be chosen.

Therefore, Jiang Hong can participate in a maximum of three competitions.

Jiang Hong will be participating in the Shanghai Hope Tournament, which is the ITF10K tournament, and has paid a registration fee of 270 yuan.

As a newcomer with no prior achievements, Jiang Hong naturally needs to start from the qualifying rounds!
Of the 32 spots available in the main competition, 28 are for direct entry or wildcard entries.

The remaining four spots will be selected through two rounds of qualifying matches.

After passing the first round of the main tournament, you will earn a point and officially have your own world ranking.

Jiang Hong's goal is to at least reach the semi-finals and score 6 points in this competition.

Of course, the biggest goal is self-evident.

Once you're on the court, there's only one goal.

That's the championship!
With a ranking in the points system, Jiang Hong no longer needs to worry about not being able to participate in the competition.

I was able to get into the qualifying round this time because of luck.

The Beijing leg of the competition had just ended, so many domestic athletes had not yet recovered and therefore did not register to participate, which gave Jiang Hong an opportunity to exploit.

After returning to his dormitory, Jiang Hong began packing his luggage.

This action puzzled Li Hua.

"Old Jiang, why did you suddenly pull your suitcase?"

"Getting ready to go out!"

Jiang Hong shrugged and said casually.

Instantly, Li Hua's expression turned to one of utter astonishment.

He turned to look at Jiang Hong.

"Old Jiang, you're still not happy about skipping classes lately, and you're even planning to go on a trip with your suitcase?"

Then, he immediately said with a serious expression, "Old Jiang, I know you like tennis, but you can't neglect your studies. If the teacher finds out, you might get a demerit!"

Jiang Hong smiled in response to Li Hua's concern.

"Don't worry, I've already asked my advisor for leave and I'm going to Shanghai to participate in the ITF10K competition!"

Li Hua blinked.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, he slapped himself in the face.

Jiang Hong was startled to see Li Hua suddenly harm himself.

She quickly grabbed his hand to stop him.

"Hua Zi, don't do this!"

Although Li Hua wasn't exactly passionate about tennis, he was still a member of the tennis club.

I do know a bit about tennis!
Understand that the ITF 10K tournament is the lowest level of competition in professional tennis.

I used to think Jiang Hong was just talking big.

But unexpectedly, he actually went to participate in the competition.

"hiss!"

Li Hua gasped in shock, realizing he hadn't gone easy on himself.

He rubbed his face and muttered to himself.

"Wait a minute, this hurts so much, I'm not dreaming!" Then she turned her head to look at Jiang Hong.

"Old Jiang, are you really going to the competition?"

"That's right!"

Jiang Hong nodded and said affirmatively.

From initially being a pipe dream, to now actually taking this step.

Regardless of whether Jiang Hong succeeded or not, Li Hua admired him to some extent.

"Old Jiang, when are you leaving? I'll give you a farewell dinner later!" Li Hua suddenly patted his chest and said with great enthusiasm.

I never expected that Li Hua, that miserly guy, would actually try to pluck some feathers.

"Let's forget about it. I'm leaving soon. Wait for me to come back, and we'll celebrate together!"

Although Li Hua wanted to criticize Jiang Hong's confidence.

However, considering that he was about to go to a competition, I couldn't say anything unlucky.

He nodded immediately and said with a smile.

"Okay, but if your grades aren't good, I won't treat you!"

Jiang Hong joked, "Even if it's just for this meal, I have to get a good grade!"

Afterwards, Jiang Hong packed his things.

Li Hua escorted Jiang Hong all the way to the school gate.

"Alright, Hua Zi, you can go back now!"

Li Hua chuckled slyly, "Hehe, I didn't originally intend to take you to the train station!"

Jiang Hong's lips twitched, and he rolled his eyes.

That guy really deserves a beating!
Just then, Jiang Hong's phone rang.

I took out my phone and glanced at it; the caller ID read "Su Cheng".

"Hey hey, the girl called you, hurry up and answer, or she'll be waiting impatiently!" Li Hua leaned over to take a look, then said in a cheeky tone.

Jiang Hong rolled his eyes, ignored the guy, and then answered the phone.

"Hello, Orange?"

"Jiang Hong, when are you leaving!"

Su Cheng skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point.

"I'm about to leave now, I'm waiting for the bus at the school gate!" Jiang Hong replied.

"Wait me a moment!"

Just as Jiang Hong was about to tell Su Cheng that she didn't need to come, the other end of the phone had already hung up.

"Old Jiang, with a beautiful woman coming to see you off, am I getting in the way?" Li Hua said sourly.

We agreed that everyone would stay single, but you betrayed the group.

Jiang Hong glanced at the guy and said irritably, "It's good that you know!"

Li Hua was choked half to death, but immediately retorted confidently.

"Then I can't leave, lest you do something beastly!"

Not long after, Su Cheng was seen running out of the school.

He reached up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Then suddenly he pulled a small four-leaf clover pendant made of yarn from his pocket.

"This is leftover yarn from knitting a sweater. I used it to knit this little thing. I read online that four-leaf clovers represent good luck. If you want it, you can keep it; if not, it's fine!"

Seeing Su Cheng's arrogant expression, Jiang Hong chuckled.

"Of course I'll take it. I'll hang it on my bag later, hoping it will bring me good luck and prevent me from running into the number one seed in the first round!" Jiang Hong said with a smile as he accepted the four-leaf clover pendant.

It has to be said that Su Cheng has quite skillful hands; the pendant she wove is quite realistic!

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng's lips curled up slightly.

Chi!
Suddenly the bus stopped at the station. Jiang Hong glanced at it and realized it was the bus he needed to take!
Jiang Hong picked up the box and waved to the two of them.

"Okay, I'll go first!"

"Good luck in the game!"

"Call me if you need anything!"

Under the watchful eyes of Su Cheng and Li Hua, Jiang Hong embarked on his journey into professional tennis.
