Chapter 17: Everyone Has a Story
Liu Nannan's home is very warm, and the official heating starts from November in Gangcheng.
Liu Nannan looked at Tang Yu and asked kindly, "Is it cold outside? You can have a meal later."
"It's okay, we are used to being in the northernmost part of the northeast. This temperature is nothing to us." Tang Yu said while changing into slippers.
"By the way, Sister Liu, we didn't bring you anything, this one is for you." After Tang Yu entered the house, he pulled the sk-ii from Dong Yuan's hand and handed it to Liu Nannan.
"Tang Yu, how do you know I use this brand of cosmetics?" Liu Nannan was a little moved after taking the gift from Tang Yu.
"Oh, isn't this the only one in your office?" Tang Yu replied seriously.
Seeing that the thing he was going to give to his girlfriend was given favor by Tang Yu, Dong Yuan stood behind Tang Yu and cursed the tyrant angrily. Dong Yuan suddenly found that Tang Yu had changed a little since joining the New Oriental team. His eyes were no longer empty, his temperament was no longer violent, and he would take advantage.
"Are you here? What gifts do you buy?" An aunt in her fifties walked out of the kitchen and said unhappy when she saw what was in Liu Nannan's hand.
"Mom, stop talking, this is Tang Yu." Liu Nannan took his mother's hand and introduced.
Mom! Tang Yu and Dong Yuan were both surprised when Liu Nannan called this aunt. They had never seen this mother when they first came here.
Although Liu Nannan's mother is old, she has good skin. She wears a light pink velvet coat and wears an apron. Her harmonious smile always hangs on the face of the elder, which looks very similar to Liu Nannan.
"Don't just look at me, sit down." Mother Liu pointed to the sofa in the living room and said.
"Auntie, please sit down too." Tang Yu nodded and responded.
"Auntie, you are very young. If you and Mr. Liu walk on the street, others will definitely think that you are the two sisters." Dong Yuan, who usually pays great attention to details, flattered without leaving any trace.
"This child is really good at speaking. You are Dong Yuan, right?" Liu's mother smiled so hard that she couldn't even close her mouth. Her eyes looked at Dong Yuan proved that Dong Yuan's words were very helpful to her.
"Yes, I am Dong Yuan. I was the opponent in the friendly match with the Northwest Werewolf yesterday."
"I heard that you played very well this time. I think Nan Nan's father would be very pleased to see these words when Tian Youling said." As Liu's mother said, her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Mom, don't talk about those." Liu Nannan immediately reminded him.
"Yes, yes, I won't mention those today. You can sit for a while first. I'll go to the kitchen to see. Uncle De is still stewing vegetables." Mother Liu said as she entered the kitchen.
"Sister Liu!" Tang Yu said Sister Liu suddenly didn't know what to say. Seeing Liu's mother's expression just now, Tang Yu suddenly felt that he shouldn't come today.
"Nothing, my mom is a person who likes memories. She helped my dad found the New Oriental Fighting Fitness Club, and my dad passed away three years ago. In the past three years, the old people in the club left one after another, which almost relegated the club to an amateur team without professional qualifications." Liu Nannan also expressed a sad expression, but soon she laughed again. She smiled and said to Tang Yu: "But now we are all very happy because the club has you."
"Would I be fine? Can I create such a powerful tyrant for you without my professional guidance?" Dong Yuan immediately said indignantly when he found out that he was ignored. If he was not noticed, wouldn't his sk-ii be given for nothing?
"Yes, there is Dong Yuan. If you don't have Tang Yu, your strength will definitely be No. 1 in New Oriental." Liu Nannan said as she took the set of sk-ii cosmetics and picked out a bottle of lotion inside.
"Dong Yuan, please take this bottle of lotion and give it to Wang Xin if you have time. Although she has opened a cosmetics store, she doesn't have this brand. Just say that you gave it to her."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Liu." Dong Yuan's hands trembled when he took the bottle of lotion. This set of cosmetics is very expensive. I originally bought all of them for Wang Xin. Now there is only one bottle of lotion left. Now Dong Yuan's eyes are a little red.
Looking at Dong Yuan's expression, Liu Nannan smiled and comforted: "Don't be so excited! I still have lotion for this brand."
It’s not that I’m excited, I’m heartbroken. Dong Yuan nodded at Liu Nannan while putting the bottle of the remaining lotion into his arms.
"It's time to eat." Mother Liu and Uncle De came out of the kitchen with their own food.
"If you are a little in the restaurant, eat here." Uncle De put the braised carp in his hand on the large coffee table in the living room.
"Okay, I'll help you too. Auntie, please sit and rest for a while." Tang Yu got up and went to serve the food with Uncle De.
There are not many dishes today, but they are all heavy flavors that northerners like. The braised fish, sauce-flavored chicken, stewed pork ribs and a few dishes of green vegetables that should be found during the festival, so Tang Yu can really enjoy some warmth.
"Tang Yu, are you still adapting to coming here?" Liu's mother started chatting with Tang Yu while eating.
"Adaptation, I am actually a person here. When I was in my teens, my parents moved to the border because of work needs."
"Is that so? Why haven't you told me before?" Liu Nannan asked in surprise after hearing Tang Yu's words.
"You haven't asked me before! The reason why I first took the college entrance examination at Liaoning University of Science and Technology was that I wanted to go back to my hometown to study. But..." Tang Yu also recalled the sad past.
"It's okay, don't think too much." Liu's mother looked at Tang Yu kindly and comforted: "From the future, treat this place as your home and come home for dinner if you have time."
"Thank you aunt." Tang Yu really began to change from this moment. A big boy in his twenties still needs warmth no matter how strong he is on the outside.
Liu's mother, who has experienced worldly affairs, could see from Tang Yu's eyes that the tyrant in Liu Nannan's mouth was changing. Although this was the first time that Liu's mother met Tang Yu, she had already had his image in her heart. This was a strong man with a tragic fate, a strong man with a strong tendency to be violent. He vented the violence in his heart on his opponent on the ring but did not vent it on the street on ordinary people, which showed that he had his own principles, and he was also a person who could save the club. Liu's mother used family-style warmth to influence this strong man, but after she truly met Tang Yu, she felt more worried in her heart.
"And you, Xiaoyuan. This is also your home." Liu's mother was very careful. She did not forget that there was a strong man named Shen Jian.
"Thank you, aunt, I have already regarded New Oriental as my destination." Dong Yuan said while chewing on the things in his mouth.
Hahaha. Looking at the two young men, Liu Mama smiled knowingly. In her opinion, both herself and the two big boys in front of her are people with stories. And they will definitely use their stories to inspire themselves to the peak of their lives.
"Tang Yu, Dong Yuan, let me tell you something." Liu Nannan suddenly said to the two of them as if she had remembered something.
"What's up?"
"Today I received a fax from the Circular Competition Organizing Committee. The Circular Competition will start half a month ahead of schedule." Liu Nannan said seriously.
"Half a month in advance, isn't that going to start the Spring Festival first?" Dong Yuan quickly calculated the time.
"Why do you need to be in advance?" Tang Yu asked in confusion.
"A foreign professional team passed the wild card review, and they have one year to participate in the round-robin competition. Since the twelve teams have become thirteen, the competition has to start early, otherwise there will be no time."
"Which country's professional team?" Tang Yu became interested in this matter.
Dong Yuan also asked, "Yes, what is the origin?"
Liu Nannan looked at the expressions of the two and said, "Japan, the champion team of Japan's Kf1 last year - Dahe Kyoto."
"Haha, okay, I like it." Tang Yu's two dimples appeared on his face again, and the intimidating violent aura was unconsciously revealed.
"Okay, I like to beat the island players, especially to beat them reasonably and legally in the ring." Dong Yuan said seriously after swallowing a mouthful of the meal.
"Don't talk that way, pay attention to harmony." Uncle De looked at Dong Yuan and said seriously.
Humph! Dong Yuan hummed lightly and didn't say anything.
"Tang Yu, you and Uncle De will go to Beijing with me in two days." Liu Nannan suddenly said in Tang Yu, with a tone of not allowing rejection.
"Okay." Tang Yu raised his head and asked, "What are you doing in Beijing?"
"I went to the round-robin lottery ceremony with me, which is actually a symbol of the start of the new year's round-robin competition."
After Liu Nannan answered Tang Yu's question, Uncle De also added: "Every professional team will bring their team's aces to the venue when participating in the lottery ceremony. What Mr. Liu wants to do next year!"
"Ace?" Tang Yu suddenly showed a focused look when he heard the words "Ace".
The reason why Liu Nannan was able to recruit Tang Yu was that Tang Yu was looking for his life goals. He was wandering in the black market and could have earned a lot of wealth with the strength of the king. However, because he did not give up the inner principle of Guangming, he was willing to be a free man who only received 1,800 appearance fees. When Liu Nannan appeared, the tyrant actually saw the dawn in his eyes, and the reason for the good brother of the charlatan.
No one interrupted Tang Yu's contemplation and passed quietly for a long time without interrupting him.
Suddenly, Tang Yu returned to his natural expression and asked Mom Liu: "Auntie, why didn't I see you last time?"
After hearing Tang Yu's question, everyone felt a little dizzy. I really don't know what this tyrant was thinking. Judging from his solemn appearance, he thought he was going to make some bold words!
"Oh, I went to the General Administration of Sports a while ago. I obtained the professional certification review certificate through some old friends. From now on, our club will have professional players qualifications." When he said this, Mrs. Liu paused for a moment and added a little embarrassedly: "We are also the last among all first-line professional teams to get this qualification."
"Then why are we still allowed to participate in the professional qualification assessment of the Sports Bureau? I am a little puzzled. The players trained by the professional team can just submit their personal information directly." Dong Yuan asked with some dissatisfaction.
Hahaha! Liu Nannan smiled awkwardly and explained: "Our team's performance is too poor. The General Administration of Sports is unwilling to issue this qualification. If it weren't for finding some relationships, it wouldn't have been won."
"When will we leave?" Tang Yu suddenly changed the topic.
"You can prepare for these two days and wait for me to notify you."
"I want to go too, and I have the strength of ace," Dong Yuandao.
"Get out!" Tang Yu glared at Dong Yuanshang and gave him the word "Get out".
When Tang Yu and Dong Yuan left, the worry in Liu's mother's eyes became even stronger.
"Nan Nan, this child Tang Yu is not mature enough!"
"Mom, what do you want to say?" Liu Nannan asked in confusion.
"There is a kind of wildness in his nature. It can be seen from his disdainful attitude towards the Kyoto team of Dahe. This is a character flaw." At this point, Liu's mother sighed.
"Do you think he doesn't have the ability to save our club?" Liu Nannan showed some urgency at this time.
"I don't mean that. I mean that if his personality does not change, he will suffer a great loss in the ring in the future. Professional rings are not as good as black market rings. This is a game with rules and regulations! Even strong people have to adapt to the rules to be able to play a powerful place."
