Reborn + Business + Wish Fulfillment
“Lin Ming… let’s get a divorce!”
On a rainy night, Su Xin placed the divorce papers in front of Lin Ming.
Lin Ming found it utterly ridiculous.
“Su Xin, tell me honestly… In the fifteen years since we got married, you’ve squandered my NBA max contracts, my sneaker royalties, and the entire 200 million I saved after winning Olympic gold. And now you want a divorce? Do you have any conscience?”
“I have no conscience?”
Su Xin answered without a hint of shame. “You started lying flat and playing games as soon as you won a championship and an Olympic gold medal. You stopped trying to get ahead… I have a master’s degree in sports management from Stanford. What was wrong with me building a business with you? And what do you mean I squandered it all? Those youth training centers, basketball apps, and streetwear collaborations, weren’t we both investing in them? When something fails, you start over. Now you won’t even take out a bank loan for me!”
After signing the divorce papers, Lin Ming got dead drunk and took an overdose of sleeping pills, hoping to end his life.
But when he opened his eyes again,
he had gone back sixteen years.
“Lin Ming! Stop daydreaming and get over here for practice! The Olympic qualifying tournament is next month. Whether we make it to the Olympics depends on you, our core player!”
The national team’s veteran captain put an arm around his shoulders and shoved a Spalding basketball into his hands.
Lin Ming looked down at the ball, then up at the national flag hanging above the court. His eyes grew hot.
He dribbled twice, then suddenly turned and grinned at the veteran captain.
“Old Li, after the Olympics, help me get in touch with the basketball association. I have a business proposal I want to discuss with them.”
