Chapter 257 Long time no see
In early May, Anson got on a plane to the United States. This was his last resort and a transaction.

After finishing the An Ning Challenge, in Huaguo, An Sheng had no suitable competitions to participate in, unless he was willing to go back to play the hope competition again, but this was obviously impossible.

In this way, An Sheng could only choose to go abroad to participate in the competition.

But since he wanted to go abroad to compete, An Sheng, who had no experience, had to turn to his agent, Sandy, for help.

What's more, Ansheng doesn't have such a complete information channel, he can learn about the global competition arrangements, and it is even more difficult to complete the registration alone.

In addition, An Sheng didn't have any particular preference for competitions held abroad. As long as the competition level met his requirements, he was basically acceptable to participate in any kind of competition.

Therefore, it is the most suitable way of cooperation to hand over the schedule to Sandy and then choose from among them.

And why do you say that this trip to the United States will be another transaction?

This is because, after winning the Qamdo Challenge Championship and breaking into the semi-finals in the An Ning Challenge, it can be said that An Sheng has initially established his position in the Chinese tennis world, and his reputation has gradually increased.

Therefore, there are some merchants who want to cooperate with Ansheng, either as endorsements or sponsors.

Of course, An Sheng is very confident about his future, so he is definitely not willing to accept these low-value endorsements.

This point was also recognized by Sandy.

What's more, in their contract, it was clearly stipulated that the first year was his training period. As long as An Sheng didn't nod, they would absolutely not be able to agree to any business activities alone.

However, Sandy probably got a reminder from it, thinking that they should prepare for the future in advance, and even if An Sheng does not participate in commercial activities for the time being, he still has to face the media reporters, right?
Therefore, she wanted An Sheng to receive a ten-day training, mainly to teach him how to deal with media reporters.

Including, it is necessary to let him have a general understanding of the basic operation process of commercial activities, so as not to make mistakes that should not be made when commercial activities are actually carried out, it will appear too unprofessional.

But An Sheng was not very happy about this, because he felt that it was a waste of his time.

Ever since, Sandy used the "event arrangement" as a condition to "threaten" Ansheng and make him agree to go to the United States to participate in this training.

And An Sheng finally agreed, mainly because of these few reasons.

One reason is that this training is completely free, or in other words, it is a free learning opportunity provided by IMG.

Two, Sandy arranged an event for him in the United States.In other words, An Sheng can use the free time in the middle of the game to complete this short-term training without affecting the schedule.

In addition, there is another point, which can be regarded as a secondary reason, that is, the location of this training is at the IMG Nick Tennis School.

This is a very famous tennis school. They have trained a large number of tennis stars. Among them, there are many players who are ranked in the top ten in the world, such as Agassi, Sampras, and the Williams sisters. , Sharapova.

Its reputation is so great, to a certain extent, it aroused An Sheng's curiosity. He wanted to see what is so special about this school that can train so many world-class players.

After more than ten hours of journey, Anson arrived in Orlando, Florida, USA.

But after that, he didn't go to Nick's school immediately. Instead, under the leadership of Sandy, he headed in the opposite direction to a hotel.

Because before he went to training, he was going to participate in an ATP challenge held in Orlando.

As for the process and results of the competition, I won’t go into details here.

In short, this is the first time for An Sheng to compete abroad. He has encountered many problems, for example, he is the first "foreign player" to become a "foreign player", such as jet lag, and other problems such as climate and environment. ,etc.

These problems, to a large extent, make An Sheng uncomfortable.

What's more, this event is still a hard court.

It can be seen from this that An Sheng's performance in the competition was not outstanding, and he only reached the second round of the main match before being eliminated.

As for the result of the game, An Sheng was quite calm, not angry or upset, but this was due to the fact that he had roughly prepared himself before the game, including his feeling at the time, whether he was more or less capable. Let him have a premonition of the result.

But when the last match was over, the appearance of a person disrupted his mood for a while.

"Sister Tong, why are you here?"

Returning to the players' lounge, An Sheng saw Xia Yutong standing next to Sandy. He was surprised. He really didn't expect to meet her here.

"Hey, An Sheng, of course she came here to watch your competition, but it's a pity that you didn't win." Sandy interrupted from the side, which was a bit disappointing, but it also made An Sheng realize that they actually knew each other.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Xia Yutong has not changed, she is still the same as before, calm and calm, with a smile, and at the same time, she opened her arms to him.

"Long time no see, Sister Tong."

An Sheng hesitated for a while, and then stepped forward to give her a gentle hug.

It has to be said that An Sheng's heart was a little chaotic at this time, but it didn't take long before he began to calm down gradually, because he found that he no longer had the same feeling of heartbeat for Xia Yutong as before.

In other words, he and Xia Yutong are just good friends now, nothing else.

Speaking of which, this is really a coincidence. Xia Yutong is actually an international student at Columbia University, and because she likes to play tennis, she met Sandy who has the same hobby on the tennis court.

At the beginning, of course, Xiandi didn't know that Xia Yutong was An Sheng's friend, and likewise, Xia Yutong didn't know that Xiandi was actually An Sheng's manager.

Until this time, An Sheng came to Orlando to compete, and Xia Yutong learned about his itinerary through his Weibo, so she came here to watch his competition, but this made her meet Sandy who was also in Orlando first.

After that, An Sheng was very calm and invited Xia Yutong to accompany him to Orlando Disneyland for a whole day.

The two of them had a good time, and probably eliminated a little bit of estrangement in their hearts.

Of course, they are just friends now, and they can only be friends.
