Chapter 251 Casting Magic
Wait, what did Gawain just say?
The reporter's question was clearly about Zverev, but Gawain shifted the focus from Zverev to everyone, including the reporter:
Not only Zverev, but the reporter should also not know Gao Wen, right? So why did the reporter try to sow discord here? Facing Zverev's "ignoring", Gao Wen not only did not get angry, but also shifted the blame to the reporter.
More importantly, Gao Wen saw through the truth immediately. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know him. Gao Wen will use his performance to make everyone remember his name. This is a declaration, showing strong self-confidence and firm belief from the inside out, leaving all the controversy on the court and speaking with strength.
In the reporter's opinion, Zverev's "provocation" is undoubtedly tricky. Of course, there are many ways to deal with it. Those top professional players can deal with it easily, but even Federer and Nadal should just downplay it with polite greetings, and it is difficult to stand out.
But look at Gawain?
A rhetorical question not only responded to Zverev, but also went a step further to cover all objects. He faced calmly the fact that he was still an unknown player, and then took a step back to show his determination to face challenges bravely, generously and calmly, confidently and calmly.
Could it be more perfect?
The reporters at the scene were obviously not expecting this and were stunned for a moment. Then they saw Gao Wen showing a polite smile, nodding slightly, and walking straight forward. The reporters did not stop him at all and actually stepped back to make way.
"Thanks."
Gawain nodded his thanks with a smile and walked forward. Tobias, who was hiding in the corner, also came out and followed Gawain forward.
That picture...
Inexplicably, the reporters lined the streets to welcome Gawain and Tobias, escorting them away. What was this? A red carpet?
It was not until Gawain left that the reporters gradually came to their senses. They exchanged glances in bewilderment, and they were probably all thinking the same question in their minds: How did that guy do it? With just one sentence, he accomplished the multiple tasks of "responding to Zverev", "fighting back against the reporter", and "proving himself" at the same time? With just one sentence, he disrupted the reporters' plans and made all the reporters on the scene pause their reactions, and even escorted him away in a welcoming manner? With just one sentence, he completely reversed the passive situation? What's wrong with this guy?
How did this all happen? It seems... interesting.
The reporters experienced the entire process personally, but were unable to understand it for a while and were full of questions.
At the same time, Gawain had already opened up some distance. In fact, there was no magic. It was nothing more than breaking the reporters' habitual thinking framework, breaking free from the constraints and looking at the problem from a higher level. It was just like playing chess. Being one step ahead of the reporters would naturally allow him to seize the initiative.
For other people, "reporters" and "media" seem to have their own magic, and they can call the wind and rain and make soldiers with just a pen; but for Gao Wen, he has been in the news industry for many years, and things are not that complicated. Not only does he not need to be afraid, but he can also enjoy it.
"Gawain."
Tobias had caught up, walking side by side with Gawain, and called out.
"Feel sorry."
Tobias said it straightforwardly without any hesitation or delay.
"I knew the news last night, but I misjudged the media's reaction, which led to today's chaos. It was entirely my fault."
Gawain was a little surprised. He was surprised by Tobias' apology and the reason for the apology. But when he thought about it carefully, it was actually a good thing.
It is always like this with human cooperation. Very few people can get along well with each other when they meet for the first time. It takes time to slowly understand each other and slowly get used to each other.
This will not only apply to agents, but also to all future teams of partners including coaches, masseurs, physiotherapists, public relations, etc. How to build a team of partners with perfect understanding is a science, and an excellent team is also the cornerstone for a player to continuously improve and maintain stability.
Tennis is indeed an individual sport, but it also requires the support of a team.
Looking at Tobias, who had a sincere expression in front of him, Gawain also spoke formally.
"Next time you encounter a similar situation, you can tell me in advance. I am not that fragile."
"Moreover, if I can achieve better results, the situations I may encounter in the future will become more and more complicated, and the consequences of not handling them well may become more and more serious."
"Then why not start to be tempered and tested now before you break through the sky in the future? Trivial matters can become a whetstone. Even if something goes wrong, it will be easier to solve, right? Otherwise, in the future, a small accident may turn into a big thing that breaks through the sky."
"By then, I'm afraid I'll need a whole PR team to solve the problem."
Tobias looked at Gawain, who was smiling, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
Because of Gao Wen's confidence and maturity, these words once again proved Gao Wen's sophistication. Moreover, because of Gao Wen's frankness and honesty in communication, he accepted opinions and gave feedback in an equal manner, which is very important for the future cooperation between the two parties.
Look at Zverev, it's completely different.
They are the chosen ones of heaven, radiant and loved by everyone. They are confident and proud, and often cannot listen to other people's opinions. If you are not careful, they will easily grow into the type who shirks responsibility. If something goes wrong, they will refuse to admit that it is their fault, and they are often unable to withstand stress when faced with setbacks and failures.
It is also because of this that when the agent and Zverev Jr. interact with each other, the way they talk and the way they get along must be different.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Tobias is not targeting Zverev, but most geniuses are like this.
Of course, once these geniuses are able to withstand hardships and pressure and complete their transformation, they may become the best in history like Federer; but the reality is that they often lose themselves in chaos and are annihilated in the river of time in the blink of an eye.
Tobias has always favored geniuses because he believes that the ceiling brought by talent cannot be broken through. If you want to stand on the top of the world, you must be a genius. It is precisely because of this that when he first saw Gawain, he was not particularly moved, but now?
Tobias felt that his thoughts had changed a little.
However, they have only been working together for a short time, and the future can be long or short, so they still need to wait and see, but at least they should button up this first button well.
So, instead of joking, Tobias nodded solemnly.
"no problem."
"But don't worry, even if it breaks out, I can handle it."
The confidence revealed in the understatement made Gao Wen's eyes brighten, and then he nodded slightly and said with a smile.
“Don’t encourage me.”
Both of them laughed.
