In the past, athletes always spent money; when would they ever make money for the team? But He Tiantian's excellence has achieved this, creating a new direction for the development of sports.

"Yes, I came here not only to attend the celebration party, but also to talk to the team about my intention to retire," He Tiantian said. "After all, I'm not young anymore, and it's unfair to the younger players if I stay at the top."

He Tiantian knew she had a cheat code, but the other athletes all worked hard in real ways.

He Tiantian has already achieved great success, and her private club is already built, so she doesn't need to use the national team's training grounds. Although she's a little reluctant to give up the excitement and heart-pounding feeling of competition, He Tiantian doesn't want to block anyone's way.

Director Li was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "Retirement?"

Director Li looked at He Tiantian, then at Head Coach Wu.

Head Coach Wu nodded and said, "Teacher He mentioned it before."

"Oh dear, retiring?" Director Li said, "You are now a national treasure-level athlete in China! Although we should respect your decision, and although you are not young, you are in very good physical condition and can definitely participate in major competitions."

Director Li temporarily took over Director Jiao's credit, which was somewhat illegitimate and unjustifiable. Therefore, he hoped that He Tiantian could continue to participate in the competition, making it a political achievement for him.

"Most importantly, I think we have many promising young players in our team, and we should give them opportunities," He Tiantian said. "The legend of one person is not as good as the legend of a team, and I don't have the passion to participate in events where we've already won gold medals."

Director Li said regretfully, "Although you meant well, it's still a pity that you're retiring. If you don't want to block others' path and have no interest in the events you've already won, then we can simply sign you up for events that other team members aren't good at and that you haven't participated in before. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

In any case, Director Li just doesn't want He Tiantian to retire.

Putting aside his performance, he retired as soon as he appeared on any sweet show. What will people outside think of him?

Maybe some busybodies will say that He Tiantian retired because she was dissatisfied with her boss?

He Tiantian was surprised; her superiors probably wouldn't agree to her retiring.

"Uh, I'll think about it," He Tiantian said, not wanting to talk about the topic anymore.

Just then, someone came to say that a meeting was about to begin.

He Tiantian went to a meeting with the senior leader.

As an outstanding athlete, He Tiantian also stepped forward to speak as a representative after the leaders' speeches.

He Tiantian didn't say much, but she encouraged everyone to work hard and achieve good results next time.

Next came the award presentation.

The prize money for the gold medal is two thousand yuan, and a bicycle.

The silver medal prize is 1,000 yuan and a bicycle.

The bronze medal prize is 500 yuan and a bicycle.

He Tiantian received a prize of 16,000 yuan and eight bicycles this time.

If the money is put directly into the bag, what about the bicycle?

In the end, Wei Yuanyuan sent someone to bring a small truck to transport the bicycles to the warehouse, so that they could be distributed to the employees as a New Year's bonus.

When she got home that evening, He Tiantian discussed with Huo Yingjie whether to retire.

Huo Yingjie put down the newspaper in his hand, thought for a moment and said, "If you don't want to swim anymore, then retire. If you want, you can keep two or three events, but not so many, it's too tiring."

"Well, you just let me have my way anyway," He Tiantian sighed, not getting a negative answer from Huo Yingjie.

"Hehe, whatever makes you happy." Huo Yingjie chuckled. He used to try to influence He Tiantian's decisions using his male perspective, but not anymore.

He Tiantian is his wife, but she is also an independent individual with her own thoughts and the ability to plan for her own future.

Whatever decision Huo Yingjie makes, he will support it.

As long as she's happy.

Tang Qian was in a meeting, and He Tiantian took some time to go over. It was rare to see the other shareholders there as well.

Because a new movie has just been released, we invite everyone to go and check it out.

This movie is set against the backdrop of an ancient female knight-errant. The plot is good, and the actors are both beautiful and handsome, so it should do well at the box office.

After watching the movie, He Tiantian led the applause.

"This year's movies are pretty good too," He Tiantian said. "Congratulations in advance."

Tang Qian smiled and said, "Don't be too happy yet, everything depends on the box office."

"By the way, everyone's here. Can you help me think about it? If I retire now, will it have a big impact on everyone?" He Tiantian said. If it were before, she could retire without hesitation, but now she has filmed a lot of commercials. If she retires, will it affect the advertising effect?

“Huge! Very huge!” Tang Qian said, “You are the best athlete now, but once you retire, your current achievements will be in the past, your exposure will decrease, and the effect of endorsements will also decrease.”

Qi Zhengmin nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Tian, ​​we haven't even filmed the commercial yet, you can't retire. Don't you really like swimming?"

"I like it, but I feel that I'm too old for young people, so I should make way for them," He Tiantian said, not wanting to use her newfound advantages to hinder their progress.

Jiang Wenwen shook He Tiantian's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, do you know what? A while ago, I put our ads and photos on TV and among our distributors, and today we received additional orders from fifty distributors. Do you know what that means?"

"What do you mean?" He Tiantian asked, "Is the celebrity effect really that powerful?"

“Yes, it’s that amazing!” Jiang Wenwen said. “If we can maintain this level of popularity, our output value this year is estimated to be twice that of last year. At the same time, more places are calling to ask to join us. As long as we reach next year, we will become the number one sports brand in China.”

"Huh?" He Tiantian exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't realize I had such a big influence!"

“It’s this big,” Jiang Wenwen said. “Sister-in-law, you can pick two or three items, or even one or two, just don’t retire. Let us be our spokespeople for a few more years.”

"Hehe, Sister Tian, ​​if Sister Jingli knew you were thinking of retiring, she'd probably be rushing to Yanjing right now," Qi Xiaoyan laughed. "Since you don't dislike it, but just don't want to get in other people's way, then you can take on some challenging tasks!"

He Tiantian listened. She did indeed love swimming and the atmosphere of competition, so she decided to retire two years later. However, she planned to practice high-difficulty individual medleys, the 200 meters, and the 800 meters. It seemed that no one on the national team qualified for the Olympics, highlighting this weakness.

“Okay, then I won’t retire. I’ll practice individual medley,” He Tiantian said. “It seems our national team is doing very poorly in this area.”

"No matter what you train for, as long as you don't retire, that's fine," Tang Qian said. "I was so scared just now. I received a call yesterday from a sports program on CCTV, and they wanted to do an interview with you. If you're free, you can go and record an episode."
