Arriving in Mo Du

On the morning of the second day, Xu Jie, as usual, ran with the Class 9 students.
He walked next to Chu Xiao Ran, who was leading the run, tilted his head slightly, and said with a smile:
"For the next three days, I will go to Mo Du for a tryout with Li Hao."
"During these three days, you must maintain your daily training on your own; you must not slack off."
"If you dare to be lazy, hmph hmph."
Chu Xiao Ran heard Teacher Xu's words and stumbled.
Fortunately, he was the sports committee member, and his body's balance was excellent, so he didn't fall.
In fact, last night, Chu Xiao Ran and everyone else already knew about this.
After all, that kid Li Hao was originally a restless, talkative fellow.
Therefore, Chu Xiao Ran and the classmates who often played with Li Hao already knew that Teacher Xu had to take Li Hao to Mo Du for a tryout.
Chu Xiao Ran ran, thinking that without Teacher Xu by his side, he would have to train quietly alone.
A sense of emptiness suddenly arose in his heart.
This feeling wasn't there last night when he heard the news.
But now that he heard the confirmed news directly from Teacher Xu, this feeling naturally emerged, and it was quite strong.
It turned out that unconsciously, Teacher Xu, who was both a teacher and a friend, had such a great influence on him.
Just as Chu Xiao Ran was lost in thought, Teacher Xu's instructions echoed in his ears.
"Also, every time you train, call Lin Wei Rui, Yue Zhan Ye, and Zhou Lu."
"I will arrange their training plans for them one by one."
"As the sports committee member, you must be responsible for supervising their training; you must not be lazy."
"If their training results in these few days cannot satisfy me, I will hold you accountable too!"
Xu Jie said with a smile.
Chu Xiao Ran was slightly startled, then nodded helplessly.
If it was Teacher Xu's arrangement, then he naturally had to obey.
It wasn't that he had any objections to Xu Jie's arrangement.
It was that Lin Wei Rui and the other two were training in basketball.
Chu Xiao Ran, training football alone, could see Lin Wei Rui and the others on the basketball court with just a glance, which was undoubtedly a kind of torment for him!
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist joining Lin Wei Rui and his friends.
However, just as this thought arose in his mind, Teacher Xu's words echoed in his ears.
"If I find out you're playing basketball with them during training, you can imagine the consequences."
Xu Jie smiled meaningfully at Chu Xiao Ran.
How could he not know Chu Xiao Ran's thoughts?
Before leaving, he absolutely had to give this kid a heads-up.
Chu Xiao Ran, whose thoughts were seen through by Xu Jie, nodded glumly, "Understood, Teacher Xu, I won't be lazy."
Xu Jie reached out and patted his shoulder, "Don't think that I'm strict with your training."
"After this period of training, your fundamentals are already extremely solid."
"When I return from Mo Du, I will check your training results. If there are no more shortcomings, I will help you find a football scout!"
Hearing Teacher Xu's words, the disappointment in Chu Xiao Ran's heart due to Teacher Xu's departure, and the restless mind he had about training with Lin Wei Rui and his friends, immediately vanished.
His eyes sparkled with an unusual light.
His voice suddenly rose, "Teacher Xu, is that true?"
"Of course!"
Xu Jie affirmed.
Helping Chu Xiao Ran find a scout was already part of his plan.
Including this trip to Mo Du, he would also leverage the connections he had accumulated when he was on the national team before, to visit several senior figures in the football world.
Receiving Teacher Xu's affirmative answer, Chu Xiao Ran suddenly erupted with surging fighting spirit.
"Teacher Xu, I will train well at home; please rest assured!"
After talking with Chu Xiao Ran, Xu Jie ran to Lin Wei Rui's side.
He explained the personalized training plan designed for him one by one.
"Defender, there is only the arduous path of diligently practicing the fundamentals."
"Ball control and passing, they don't sound difficult."
"But for decades in our Long Nation, we haven't produced a decent defender."
"Why?"
"It's precisely because the fundamentals are not solid!"
"Everyone wants to show off, everyone pursues flashy techniques."
"No one truly settles down to diligently practice their fundamentals."
"I hope you don't need to be like them. I hope you can master solid fundamentals."
"So your training content for these few days is very simple: only practice ball control and passing."
Teacher Xu's basketball skills were beyond doubt.
Therefore, Lin Wei Rui had long sincerely admired Teacher Xu.
He nodded seriously and said, "Teacher Xu, I understand!"
"These few days, I will only practice ball control and passing, nothing else."
Xu Jie smiled and nodded.
Lin Wei Rui was not Chu Xiao Ran; he was not as restless and talkative as that kid.
He believed Lin Wei Rui would train seriously.
Next, he instructed Yue Zhan Ye and Zhou Lu.
Zhou Lu was now on the Zhen Zhong High School basketball team; his path was not astray, and he didn't need Xu Jie's further guidance or suggestions.
Regarding the idea of forming a "Three-pronged Attack" for Class 9 organized by Teacher Xu, he was overjoyed and naturally had no objections.
That kid Yue Zhan Ye, after some encouragement from Xu Jie over the weekend, also had a lot of enthusiasm.
Xu Jie had him practice the power forward technique that Lin Wei Rui was originally very stubborn about.
Yue Zhan Ye played power forward, Zhou Lu played small forward, and Lin Wei Rui played guard.
This was Xu Jie's arrangement for them, and all three already knew it.
After arranging everyone, Xu Jie finally sought out the class monitor, Chu Ya Wen.
"I won't be here for the next few days, so you'll still be in charge of class order."
"If anything comes up, you can find Teacher Zhou or Teacher Sun; either is fine. I've already spoken with them."
Xu Jie said with a smile.
Chu Ya Wen nodded, her face earnest, "Teacher Xu, please rest assured!"
"With me in Class 9, nothing will go wrong!"
During the morning class, Xu Jie announced to all the students that he would be absent for the next three days.
After all, not all students could know in advance.
"Ah? Is Teacher Xu going on a business trip?"

"What business trip? He's taking Li Hao to Mo Du for a tryout!"

"Oh my god! So that's what it is?!"

"Wow, I'm so envious of Li Hao; he's really going pro!"

"I acknowledge Mouse's gaming skill!"

"Who the hell are you? What does it matter whether you acknowledge it or not!"

"LPL, tremble! Your emperor has returned!"

"You're thinking too much; Mouse is still underage, he can't play in the LPL yet!"
...
Three days, for high school students, passed in the blink of an eye.
Therefore, the vast majority of students didn't have too many emotions about Teacher Xu's three-day absence.
They were just envious and secretly wished Li Hao success.
They were also very happy to have a professional player in their class!
...
The morning class hadn't even ended when Xu Jie left Zhen Zhong.
He had already discussed school matters with Director Qin, Zhou Yu Tong, Sun Kai Hai, and other colleagues yesterday.
Naturally, there would be no oversights due to his short absence.
Arriving at Li Hao's home, he chatted with Li Hao's parents for a while.
Xu Jie had mentioned taking Li Hao to Mo Du today when he visited the students' families on Sunday.
Under the guise of Zhenhua High School's special talent cultivation plan, Li Rui Nian and Xia Ru Feng naturally wouldn't object.
At 8:30 AM, Xu Jie, with Li Hao and two suitcases, arrived at Nan City International Airport.
Security check, check-in.
At 11:30 AM, Xu Jie and everyone arrived in Mo Du.
