Boyfriend For Hire - Chapter 87
The entire program group seemed to be wound up, and all the work was continuously advancing down.
After taking the publicity photos of the players, the official website of the other side was launched. Several publicity campaigns were too busy, and the manuscript was posted one after another.
It’s just that the website hasn’t officially opened yet. The audience clicked on it and they could only see the countdown on the homepage. The photos of those contestants were all covered with black masks, creating a silhouette effect.
In the middle of the website is a well-designed program logo, with the name of the exclusive sponsor-Feiyang Sports Drink on the top.
Feiyang sports drink?
Why have you never heard of this brand before?
Yang Xiao stopped his mouse, turned around and asked the business colleague next to him: “What is the sponsor of our program group?”
Hwaseong Satellite TV ranks firmly among the top three star channels in the country, and “King of Rebounds” is the highlight of this year’s TV show. It is built with the strength of all channels. It is not just any pheasant business that can name it.
I looked around for business and saw that no one was paying attention. I hurried over, lowered my voice, and said mysteriously: “This is a long story. In fact, when the program was first established, Teacher Zhou went out to sponsor a circle. At that time A big company was finalized, and the contract had to be signed. As a result, the team went away and the sponsorship was snatched by the Kiwi website.”
Yang Xiao couldn’t help but cursed.
It’s nothing more than stealing ideas, the group of people actually prying away the sponsors together, it’s really cheap.
After the sponsorship was over, Zhou Hui couldn’t care about being angry, and immediately started a new round of operations.
It’s just that this time there are many obstacles.
First of all, before Zhou Hui, no one has done a similar variety show, and the ratings are difficult to guarantee. Those sponsors don’t see rabbits or scatter eagles. How can they throw so much money in a little-known show? Secondly, they all heard about the team’s departure, and doubted Zhou Hui, worried about half of the section list, and then some scandal about the incompatibility of the generals. The third thing is that several companies have joined forces to lower prices in an attempt to lower the sponsorship fee, so that they can gather the fleece of the satellite TV and pick up the bargain.
Please, their satellite TV is also going to be forced! Then they want to name the show with some money, why don’t they dream?
As a result, the sponsorship matter is deadlocked there.
At the critical moment, a company called Feiyang Sports Drinks was born. It was rich in money and took out a large amount of cash. It did not entangle the minutiae of the contract. It only asked for one point. It is said that their boss likes basketball very much. They also formed a basketball team in their company, collected a group of good players, and often went out to play games with other companies. Most of the team is cba retired players, the sponsor hopes that the program group can give the company a few places, so that they can participate in the show and show their faces.
This was not an excessive request. For the sake of the money, Zhou Hui readily agreed.
Business shrugged and said no surprise: “This is all normal operation, just like some brokerage companies will send their own trainees to the draft show. However, I am still the first to send players to the basketball variety show. See you once.”
Yang Xiao was quite curious. He took the list of players bound into a book on the table, turned to the group of retired athletes, and asked, “Who is here from the sponsor?”
Business took the booklet and turned a few pages: “Hey, from this page to this page, it’s all.”
Yang Xiao: “…”
A total of nine retired athletes, the sponsor sent six!
How can I think that business has turned to the forefront again-“And this, the active cba athlete “Tattoo Brother” Ding Man, he also sent him, it is said that he signed a personal endorsement contract.”
Yang Xiao was really surprised this time!
What is the origin of this sports drink company? Even current players can get involved? For the purpose of the show, three “eagles” were specially invited, but one of them was actually backed by the sponsor?
Yang Xiao had heard of Ding Man. He is two meters tall and two meters tall, and he is known as the “Devil Guard” of the CBA. He has a fast offensive, a secret ball, and Ding Man loves tattoos. From his fingertips to his shoulders, his arms are densely patterned! And those patterns are very terrifying and have a strong deterrent effect on the court.
Somehow, Yang Xiao felt something was wrong in her heart.
Is she sensitive?
She persuaded herself not to be horny, but couldn’t help but ran to search for the background of this sports drink.
Their company’s official website is very simple. It turns out that this is a long-established beverage company. It was registered in a small 18th-tier city. It used to make copycat orange juice and copycat cola. It was acquired by a large company a year ago and only started to make sports drinks, but it seems that it is not selling very well and is not well-known.
Generally speaking, this company reveals two words-pheasant.
And it is such a little-known pheasant company that can actually get so much money to sponsor TV channel programs!
It was only after it was acquired by a large company that it began to form its own basketball team. The new boss loves basketball and has hired a group of retired players to fight in the north and south.
The names of those games are hard to say.
What **** township basketball game; **** land temple basketball game; **** great man’s birthday basketball game… Yang Xiao couldn’t help wondering, would anyone really go to this kind of basketball game?
Out of curiosity, she clicked on the basketball game news on the company’s website. The whole piece of “news” was written by a layman at first glance. It was dry and without writing. It started with a certain day in a certain year, a certain month, and a certain place, our company’s basketball team and a certain regional basketball team played a unique basketball game. The match, the final score…
Judging from the news, the game was won or lost, and there were several photos in the news, all of which were photos of the players on the court.
Yang Xiao scrolled the mouse wheel, browsing the photos.
A game requires twelve players, five starters, and seven substitutes. In the photo, everyone looked tired, but besides tiredness, there was a… murderous look.
Suddenly, a piece of news came into Yang Xiao’s eyes.
——”Mr Xing came to the basketball game to cheer for the players”
Mr. Xing? It seems that he is the president of this weird company.
Yang Xiao clicked on the news, and a photo popped out impatiently.
In the photo, twelve brawny men who are about two meters tall are surrounded by a man in his thirties. The man is mature and handsome, wearing a tall suit, and his eyes are full of arrogance.
At the moment when he saw the man’s face clearly, Yang Xiao’s fingers trembled unconsciously.
She knows him-his name is Xing Fei!
He is arrogant and arrogant, always deciding everything by himself. What he does most often is to deny others, and he will never allow anyone around him to make any decisions that go against his wishes.
…And he happened to be Yang Xiao’s first boyfriend.
Yang Xiao didn’t want to call him “first love”, because his existence is simply the biggest insult to this word!
At that time, Yang Xiao had just graduated from school and set foot in society. As a fledgling woman, she met Xing Fei in an interview on the news channel. The overbearing president immediately began a series of romantic pursuits. At that time, Yang Xiao had no knowledge of people, so he was so dazed by him.
He left Yang Xiao’s infinite psychological shadow, especially the phrase “get pregnant and then marry, don’t give birth to a boy, don’t get a certificate”, it is almost a straight male cancer that makes her get goose bumps. Fortunately, she awakened and escaped fast enough in time to avoid wasting her youth on such a fool.
She never expected that she would encounter this scumbag in her own show after going around in such a big circle!
…
“Okay, Fanzi, I heard that you are going to be on TV?”
As soon as the training started, the teammates gathered around and began to congratulate Meng Yufan.
There must be some jealousy, but in addition to jealousy, there is more admiration. After all, the basketball court relies on strength to speak. Meng Yufan is capable and unassuming. Everyone is convinced by his performance on the court. Therefore, after they heard that Meng Yufan had participated in a variety show on Hwaseong TV, they were all beaming, and they were all very happy for him.
“From now on, I will be a star’s classmate!” Teammate Huang Xiaoke put his arms around his neck and raised his mobile phone, “Big star, hurry up and take a few selfies with me and record a small video. When you become popular, these are all things Selling money!”
Meng Yufan reluctantly escaped from his devil’s claws, but turned his head and ran into the hands of the captain Liu Fangzhou.
Liu Fangzhou teased and said: “Fanzi, don’t forget the rich and dignified! You are the hope of our team!”
Meng Yufan was so stunned by their jokes that when he finally escaped from the crowd, a thin layer of sweat rose on his forehead.
He turned around and walked towards the dormitory. He didn’t think of meeting Xu Dong who was about to go out at the door of the dormitory.
Seeing this former good brother, Meng Yufan felt indescribably embarrassed.
Xu Dong’s suspension period has passed, but he still faces the situation of no ball to play. Cuba stipulates that players in the national competition must be players who have participated in the regional qualifiers. Xu Dong missed the qualifiers, so naturally he could not show his face in the cuba national competition.
Athletes who cannot play in cuba also have no chance to sign up for the cba draft.
It can be said that Xu Dong has announced in advance that he has left this career path. Every basketball boy dreams of walking into that glorious arena, but now, Xu Dong’s dream is over.
Both are forwards, with equal skills. They were originally qualified to compete for the draft spot… But now, the situation of the two is worlds apart.
If time can go backwards, Meng Yufan will definitely persuade Xu Dong not to set foot in the field and not to make fun of his professional life; but he also knows that if Xu Dong does not play wild games to make money, his grandfather’s medical expenses will not be paid.
This is a multiple-choice question with no correct answer.
Compared with Meng Yufan, who is in a complicated mood, Xu Dong is more calm, and he has already accepted the reality. When he saw Meng Yufan, he smiled and greeted calmly: “Your training is over?”
“Just finished.” Meng Yufan also pretended to answer naturally, “Are you going to go out?”
“Yeah.” Xu Dong paused for a few seconds before speaking, “The boss asked someone to go to the game.”
“…”
They know who the boss is.
On the field, there are very few fixed teams. “Boss” contact players through wild scouts (most of whom call themselves agents), and players don’t even know who their opponents are or who their teammates are before they arrive at the stadium. There is no so-called cooperation between wild players, and they don’t talk about strategy and assists like in a regular game. Everyone is focused on shooting and expressing themselves, even using some dirty little moves.
After all, only if you win this game will scouts think of you when there are other games.
They are like a group of driven hyenas, where the owner tells them to go, they rush to wherever they go without thinking.
Meng Yufan wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he solemnly uttered a few words: “…Their methods are too dirty. You must pay attention to safety and protect yourself from injury.”
Xu Dong nodded and said with a serious face: “I always remember this. Even if I score less, I won’t go head-to-head with those people.”
The two hurriedly said a few words, and Xu Dong left on the grounds of tight time. Meng Yufan looked at the figure of this old friend walking further and further, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn’t know what to say.
…
At six o’clock in the evening, Xu Dong arrived at the location the wild ball agent told him.
This agent has worked with him many times. They contacted him via WeChat. They had almost no communication and only contacted him when they had work.
In fact, Xu Dong knew in his heart that this agent didn’t like him–Xu Dong came from a serious academy and was different from those wild roads. He played too cleanly and used little tricks. People’s head-to-head hard work resulted in not many points per game.
However, Xu Dong’s advantage lies in his flexible time, on-call, and low prices for hard work, so the agent always thinks of him as soon as he can’t find someone.
Xu Dong arrived at the scene, and his teammates for this game are already warming up. Some of them Xu Dong has seen and played basketball together, and some of them are Xu Dong’s first encounter with each other.
Several people exchanged names and asked hello, but no one asked to exchange WeChat. Anyway, they are all nodding acquaintances on the field, there is no need to pretend.
Xu Dong is two meters tall and plays a power forward. He looked at his teammates this time. They are all older than him and seem to be very experienced. Three of the teammates are black-these are all foreign players who came to “fish for extra money”.
On the field, foreign players, especially black players are very common. Blacks have well-developed sports cells and good physical fitness. Sports that test reaction and explosive ability like basketball have always been blacks. Foreign players are expensive to play a game, and I don’t know who the boss is today, so generous.
“Where is the audience?” Xu Dong asked his agent.
“There is no audience today.” The agent replied without looking up.
Xu Dong: “…” He looked sideways, and he saw a few cameras around the court as expected.
So he understood that this game is not because there are no spectators, but the real spectators are behind the camera. In a corner of the Internet, there is a hidden basketball live broadcast room, and those people hiding behind the Internet are waiting for the carnival with bated breath.
And this kind of competition… is generally accompanied by money.
This is not the first time Xu Dong has played such a game. At the beginning, he was very disgusted with this. He didn’t want to be the **** of the banker behind the scenes, let alone an accomplice of online gambling. However, he bowed his head under the increasing medical expenses of his grandfather.
In ordinary wild games, he would have to play five or six games in exchange for an imported medicine at his own expense. But this is enough for him to play two games.
So, he covered his ears and didn’t listen, closed his eyes and didn’t look, and stopped thinking about… .
Just as Xu Dong was warming up on the sidelines, another team walked into the stadium, presumably they were Xu Dong’s opponents.
Xu Dong quickly looked up his opponent.
Well, there are a few players in the opponent’s hands. He has partnered on the court before. They are all brave and resourceful. They will be a good breakthrough. There are also a few of the wild courts. The roads are too wild and the methods are too dirty. Xu Dong drew a red circle for them in his heart, reminding himself not to face them head-on, and stay away from them as far as possible.
The last person in the team was a tall and thin man who was far more than two meters tall.
He was wearing headphones and his hoodie hat was buttoned on his head. He lowered his head, with a careless appearance, even warming up a little perfunctory.
Xu Dong couldn’t see his face clearly, but faintly felt a sense of oppression from that person.
After finishing the warm-up exercise, the man finally took off his hoodie-two sturdy arms covered with evil ghost patterns were exposed in front of everyone!
Xu Dong’s breathing was stagnant, and he recognized the person’s identity.
“Is this tm kidding?” Xu Dong’s temple buzzed. “That’s’Tattoo Brother’ Ding Man? Isn’t he an active CBA player?? He came to play wild ball???”
Who is the boss behind this game?
“Take care of your mouth.” The agent glared at Xu Dong. “On the wild ball court, there are only losses and wins. It doesn’t matter who your opponent is.”
Xu Dong quieted down instantly.
“And…” The agent beckoned and motioned for Xu Dong to approach.
Xu Dong pursed his lips and leaned over.
The agent whispered: “Don’t guard Ding Man during the game for a while.”
“what……?”
“Don’t understand?” The agent glanced at him slantingly, and slowed down.
In the arena, if someone is offensive, naturally someone must defend. Ding Man is an active cba player and is destined to become everyone’s primary defensive object to prevent him from getting points.
But the agent said that Ding Man’s offense should not be defended, which means…
“——You let me play a match-fixing?” Xu Dong’s face changed in an instant, “I told you a long time ago that if I come to play, I can do everything, but the bottom line is absolutely no match-fixing!”
Xu Dong looked at the cameras around the arena, not daring to think about how many people on the Internet were waving money and placing bets on the arena. What he made was not just a ball, but the hard-earned money of how many people.
“Xu Dong, you are really interesting.” The agent said coldly, “How clean do you think you are? Do you think you are a hero who protects justice? Are you still talking to me about not playing match-fixing? From you in my hands From the day you received your first payment, you have long been a member of this filthy quagmire.”
“…”
“Think clearly.” The agent pulled his collar, like slapped a wild dog, and patted his cheek contemptuously. “You know, there are always physical collisions on the court…you said, If someone “accidentally” hits you when you take off and shoot, what will happen is not necessarily.”
