Su Bai, as a track and field athlete with no prospects, decided to retire due to a lack of hope for improving his results.
But when Su Bai officially submitted his retirement application, his...
After this night, Su Bai's mission in this Asian Games was completely over.
As a coach, the performance of the players he leads on the field is the coach's medal of merit.
Just as people on the Internet said, for a rookie coach who has only been in the job for half a year, Su Bai's team performance is already a miracle. At the same time, he has led his team to success across events and accurately predicted the players' target scores. These deeds that are beyond people's ordinary cognition have given him a legendary color.
That night, when the 400-meter relay team was interviewed, Zhang Ziyi and his team kept cueing Su Bai, but their most exciting answer was - "What reward do you want most? Ah, probably asking the coach to cook us a big meal!"
…
? ? ?
The reporter from the sports channel, Man Jiang, who asked the question, was confused and thought the players were joking, so he laughed and said, "Everyone's performance this time is so excellent, and the requirements are so simple? It seems that everyone has a really good relationship with Coach Su and cares about him a lot!"
Zhang Ziyi also laughed immediately: "Oh, reporters, we are not kidding. It's not easy for our coach to prepare a big meal..."
Although Zhang Ziyi spoke seriously, Man Jiang obviously did not take this sentence to heart. However, he did not delete this question and answer, but mentioned it in the final interview manuscript - [Although our men's 4*400m relay team achieved great results in today's competition, they still maintained a humble and warm attitude when being interviewed. When the reporter mentioned what kind of reward they would like to ask for from the coach, they all said that they just wanted coach Su Bai to cook them a big meal! Obviously, they did not take this victory too seriously, their eyes were still looking to the distant future!
I believe that with their concerted efforts and under the careful guidance of coach Su Bai, they will be able to achieve even more fruitful results in the future. One day, the Chinese flag and national anthem will fly over the victory field! 】
Man Jiang wrote this report with great passion. After all, he was at the game that night. After watching the entire event, as a reporter from China, he was of course even more excited and emotional.
After writing the interview script, Man Jiang sent both the script and the interview video back to the sports channel. As the hot topic of breaking the national record in the 4*400m race tonight was still ongoing, the relevant reviewers of the sports channel quickly posted the interview script on the official website and Weibo of the sports channel after reading the script and confirming that there was no problem.
Online Food and Fragrance Forum
Subject: [@Dou Laoge, @Dou brothers, @Qian Desheng, @Li Ruixiang... come and take a look, is this the coach Xiao Su of the S Province Track and Field Team? 】
In the Food, Color and Fragrance Forum, because the Dou family father and son had a delicious meal at Zhao Heping's house, the food review they wrote afterwards caused a small topic of discussion in the forum. Then Qian Desheng and Li Ruixiang in the forum went to the S Province Track and Field Team and had a meal of Su Bai's big pot dishes in the track and field team cafeteria. In the end, they gave their comments and said that Su Bai's cooking skills were indeed extraordinary.
Unfortunately, after Qian Desheng and Li Ruixiang, no one in the forum could get the canteen meals of the S Province Track and Field Team. So the name of Su Bai, the coach of the S Province Track and Field Team, became a well-known legendary symbol in Shiseshengxiang, the number one food forum in China.
Today, someone suddenly posted something like this.
It is now the second day of the 400m relay final. Because of the significant breakthrough in the performance of the 400m relay, the interview video sent back by Man Jiang was edited together with the event video into a news clip of about 2 minutes, which even included a small clip of Su Bai's old interview content.
The title of this news is [After 12 years, 4*400m relay team breaks the national record again].
These gourmets in the forum may not check Weibo very often, but they almost never miss any TV news. So someone watched this news video directly and was surprised to find that the coach in it might be Su Bai. He searched the Internet again and found the interview report written by Man Jiang on the official website of the sports channel.
So, in surprise, he moved the report on the official website of the sports channel and the interview video of Su Bai that had been posted on the official website to the Shiseshengxiang forum.
Because Su Bai was already quite famous in the forum, quite a few people clicked on the post to read it. However, after seeing the content of the post, the members of the Food, Color, and Fragrance forum were a little confused.
?
What's going on?
Isn’t it said that Su Bai is the coach of the S Province Track and Field Team? How come you're joining the national team now?
3l: [OP, are you sure this is the same person? Didn’t Coach Xiao Su previously work as a cook and coach for the S Province Track and Field Team? Is the person in this interview the coach of the national team? 】
5l: [I heard before that Coach Xiao Su’s team has achieved very good results. He might be transferred to the national team in the future. But that is a matter for the future, right? I inquired about it at that time. It has only been half a year since Coach Xiao Su retired and became a coach. What results can the coaches of those sports teams achieve in this half year? Not to mention that the coach in this interview also brought the national team to achieve historic results! 】
10l: […Friends, I just checked out Weibo and saw some recent news. It seems that the meritorious coach of this national team is Coach Xiao Su mentioned in our forum. 】
…
?
! ! !
As soon as this reply came out, everyone was shocked.
What's the matter?
I haven't seen him for a while. Coach Su has made his way from the S Province Track and Field Team to the national team? Judging from this news, it’s not just that he has joined the national team, but he has already played an important role in the national team!
Just when everyone was confused, some insiders also saw this post.
Dou Yifeng: [This is indeed Coach Xiao Su. The coach Su Bai in the interview is him. I asked my brother-in-law and he said that Coach Xiao Su was transferred to the national team more than a month ago to be in charge of the pre-match training for the Asian Games. He has done an excellent job leading the team this time and he will most likely continue to stay in the national team to preside over the related work of the 400m event. 】
……!
This news caught everyone in the Food, Color, and Fragrance forum off guard.
Originally, everyone thought that although Coach Xiao Su would never return to the path of coaching, he was still working as a chef in the canteen of the S Province Track and Field Team. As long as he held this position, their chances of eating for free were slim, but not zero.
But now Coach Su has become the coach of the national team...
Looking back at this identity, it is very embarrassing - can they still go and get a free meal from the coach of the national team?
Soon, Qian Desheng, Li Ruixiang and even Sun Xiangdong appeared in this post, once again confirming that the national team coach in the video was Su Bai. Sun Xiangdong also recounted in detail the details of Su Bai's transfer to the national team.
This time everyone finally gave up.
Oh, okay, it’s a pity that from now on, the food world has lost a powerful figure.
Just as everyone was sighing, two people who were also famous in the forum suddenly appeared in the post - the national track and field team's head chef Jin Manjiang and nutritionist supervisor Tang Jiangtao.
A Good Soup: [Oh, what a coincidence, are you guys talking about our Coach Su? 】
Chef Lao Jin: [Hahahaha, this is talking about Coach Xiao Su, right? Thank you all for your praise. Not long ago, Coach Xiao Su came to our national track and field team. Lao Tang and I were lucky enough to get a bite to eat at Coach Xiao Su's place. Wow, I have to say, Coach Xiao Su's cooking skills are really good! 】
? ? ?
Everyone was feeling regretful, why did two people suddenly show off?
The gourmets in the forum took a closer look and immediately realized that these were the two guys in the kitchen of the national track and field team. No wonder he's showing off here now?
Immediately, some forum users who were familiar with Jin Manjiang and Tang Jiangtao began to @ them crazily.
【@嘴好汤: Lao Tang, tell me what happened? Does Coach Su still serve as a chef in the national team? 】
[@Chef Lao Jin: How did you get the meal for free? 】
Tang Jiangtao and Jin Manjiang looked at the anxious expressions of the forum members, laughed for a while, and then simply told them the truth.
[Coach Xiao Su does not serve as a chef, he just cooks for his players occasionally. The two of us just took this opportunity to have a bite of food. Coach Xiao Su is now a meritorious coach of the national team, so everyone should not think about having a free meal. Let's go now. 】
Tang Jiangtao and Jin Manjiang's remarks were roundly criticized by forum members - you two bastards, you are enjoying your free meals, but you don't know how uncomfortable we are. You are betraying the organization and the people!
In the Food, Color, and Fragrance forum, there was quite a lively discussion because of the discussion triggered by the sports channel's report. Some forum users who were active in both the forum and Weibo found this incident interesting, so they gave a brief description of it and reposted it on Weibo, tagging it with #Track and Field Coach Su Bai#.
In this world, some things always have some wonderful cyclical relationships.
One of the accounts that posted the news on Weibo is not well-known, but his daughter is a celebrity chef blogger who is quite famous on Weibo.
Of course, his daughter's account is mutually followed by his. From time to time, his daughter would also check out some news in the food circle that her father forwarded from the Food Colors Forum, and then select the interesting content and post it on her own account.
And today, the news released by his father just meets all the criteria for becoming a hot news, doesn’t it?
The most popular and meritorious coach of the national team is actually a top chef who is admired by everyone in the most senior forum in the domestic food circle?
If this is changed to the shocked form, it would be [Shock! He was once a national meritorious coach...】
If you put this title on a public account, it will easily get 100,000+ clicks in 24 hours!
So, this young girl, who is a popular food blogger, took action directly. She first searched the Food, Color, and Fragrance forum, dug out all the forum posts related to Su Bai, and then found his father, and contacted some people in the forum who knew Su Bai.
Then, the girl went to Weibo very seriously and re-read the news about Su Bai released by the Athletics Management Center, the National Track and Field Team and the S Province Track and Field Team, and integrated all the content into a resume of Su Bai and his current achievements.
Finally, the girl compiled all the content and recorded it into a video, in which she also showed all the dishes made by Su Bai that had been commented on by the Dou father and son.
In the end, this video is so eye-catching in the first half and mouth-watering in the second half, which can be said to be very consistent with the girl's identity as a food blogger.
Because the overall content is not much, and she wanted to take advantage of the recent Asian Games and the track and field team's popularity, the girl worked hard for a day and a night to make this video. Then, after quickly checking the entire video content, subtitles, and dubbing, she uploaded it to the largest barrage video website in China, Zimu Station, and shared the video on Weibo.
The title of this video is the shocking title mentioned earlier.
The girl’s food account is called [Round, Not Fat]. She is not very old, only in her early 20s, and the baby fat on her face has not completely disappeared, so she looks a little chubby. With a pair of big eyes, she is particularly cute when she smiles.
Her fans like to tease her, so they avoid the word "round" and call her "chubby".
As soon as she posted on Weibo, many people rushed to grab the sofa or poke her round face, having a lot of fun.
1l: Sofa!
10l:? What happened to Pangpang? Why is there #Track and field coach Su Bai# in today’s tag? This tag has nothing to do with food, right? Pangpang, you have learned bad things and learned how to ride on the popularity!
20l: The sofa is gone. Let’s poke a chubby face first, and then watch the video. But before watching the video, let me ask you a question: Chubby, are you planning to change your career and make track and field videos? Why add such a tag? I know this coach Su Bai. I often saw him when I was browsing the trending search rankings these days...
When the Weibo post was first published, fans had not yet seen the content of the video, so many people in the replies were wondering why she, a food blogger, suddenly got into athletics.
After about 10 minutes, the first group of fans who had watched the video came back in a daze. Looking at the people who had not watched the video yet under Pang Pang’s Weibo, it was as if they saw their ignorant selves 10 minutes ago.
I have to say, their Pangpang is really good at coming up with video titles.
Who would have known that Su Bai, a meritorious coach of the national track and field team, had actually done such a thing?
After watching the video, everyone felt that they couldn’t be the only ones shocked, so they immediately reposted Pang Pang’s Weibo, also tagging it with #Track and field coach Su Bai#. Although the content of the reposted comments was varied, they all had the same essence, which was [Shocked! Track and field coach Su Bai actually did this kind of thing before! You don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it! 】
As fans of barrage subtitles, these fans are definitely good at coming up with clickbait titles. Soon, the video made by Pang Pang spread rapidly on the Internet as fans forwarded the video in a viral clickbait style.
Su Bai and the track and field team have been quite a hot topic recently, so quite a few people were attracted by the title.
Many passers-by were attracted by the sensational headline, and then after watching the video, they returned to Weibo.
who I am?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
Almost everyone who watched the video couldn't help but triple-click in their hearts.
Really, the content of this video is too magical - he is a meritorious coach of the national team, but he is also a famous chef in the top food circles?
What about the girl who always feels that something is not right with this world?
However, although many people want to doubt it, the qualifications and reputation of the Food, Color, and Fragrance forum itself are there. When the Track and Field Kingdom first mentioned Su Bai, the old posts of track and field fans opposing a retired athlete who became a chef in the kitchen taking Qiu Wen to switch to the 400-meter event are still hanging there. In addition, there are Weibo posts by Wu Shengping and He Yishen who supported Su Bai at the beginning, and recordings of telephone interviews with Sun Xiangdong, Qian Desheng, Dou's father and son, Tang Jiangtao and others...
All these things show that what this video tells from beginning to end is really a true story.
This is really...
The fans and passers-by who were just watching the incident didn’t know where to go to seek justice.
All of a sudden, the number of reposts, clicks, and comments on this video soared, and many people on the alpha website sent the chubby girl a wave of likes.
Not only people were watching the video, but because the video was so widely circulated and so popular, many sports fans saw it on their homepages. At first, when these men with very straightforward thinking saw the title of the video, they thought that the blogger was going to discredit Su Bai, so they rolled up their sleeves and planned to criticize the blogger after watching the video.
As a result, after watching the video, these sports fans had a bunch of question marks in their heads.
After the video went viral, the entertainment industry gossipers who had just accepted Su Bai as their little crony in the past two days watched helplessly as the tag #Track and field coach Su Bai#, which had originally sunk, was pushed to the middle of the hot searches again.
?
What's going on?
They are fans of a sports coach, but how come this fan becomes a hot topic faster than their own cooking?
Of course, after watching the video, the civets were also confused and could only say "666".
After almost everyone watched this video, many people remembered the article written by sports channel reporter Man Jiang - although it is true that reporter Man Jiang's writing was also very touching, but if you put it this way, the men of the 400-meter relay team... it seems that they really want to eat the food cooked by Su Bai?
Therefore, the people who realized the truth burst into laughter, and then happily came to the official Weibo of the sports channel news and enthusiastically @ed the official Weibo: [(dog head 3 in a row) Hi, editor, have you ever thought that Zhang Ziyi and the others really want to eat the food cooked by Su Bai? =w=】
?
I didn’t know this before.
But I know now.
As a journalist, Man Jiang always checks Weibo to learn about online public opinion trends when he has nothing to do. He has followed the hot topics about Su Bai and the track and field team in recent days.
When Man Jiang saw that Su Bai's hot search topic suddenly went against the trend today, he knew that something was wrong.
Sure enough, after seeing the video posted by Pang Pang, he just wanted to bang his head on the ground, travel back to the time when he wrote that article, then hold his hand tightly and tell himself at that time - as a reporter, you must have a spirit of curiosity! Hurry, go ask those players why the post-match reward is to want to eat a meal made by Su Bai!
What a pity.
Time cannot be reversed.
Man Jiang could only watch with tears in his eyes as the manuscript he had written was hung on the pillar of shame, and then watch as wave after wave of onlookers came to happily check in and leave a message like [hi, editor (dog head)].
On September 1, local time in Jakarta, before the end of the last game, Subai had already returned to the country with his teammates and some members of the national team.
As for the 400-meter team and their coach Su Bai, who have caused a lot of hot topics recently, reporters certainly would not miss the important moment of picking them up at the airport and interviewing them!
At 4 p.m. on September 1, when Su Bai and the 400-meter team arrived at the airport exit, the reporters waiting at the airport could not wait to press the shutter of their cameras.
At this time, Qiu Wen, who had just landed, was laughing while holding the phone in his hand. He handed the phone to Su Bai, Cui Luoheng and others. While handing the phone, Qiu Wen looked at Su Bai eagerly and said, "Xiao Bai, look, we are back in China now. Everyone's results are so good this time. Can you make us a delicious meal to celebrate?"
Cui Luoheng was originally holding his mobile phone and watching the video handed to him by Qiu Wen with Su Bai. He caught a glimpse of Qiu Wen trying to hug Su Bai's arm and act coquettishly. He immediately narrowed his eyes and slapped Qiu Wen's claws away.
Qiu Wen:?
"Speak, don't touch Xiaobai."
Qiu Wen looked at Cui Luoheng's righteous expression with his eyes wide open, and was about to say something, but they had already arrived at the airport entrance, and the flash lights of the reporters were almost blinding their eyes. The 400 meters has been an event that has been neglected for many years, and most of the athletes present have never experienced such a situation. Su Bai, on the other hand, faced the camera calmly as always.
With Su Bai leading the way, the contestants behind quickly calmed down and were much more relaxed facing the shutters and cameras of the reporters.
"Congratulations to all the athletes for their excellent performance in the Jakarta Asian Games. Can you briefly describe how you feel right now?"
"In the 4x400 relay, Li Junhao withstood the pressure at the last critical moment and helped the team win glory. Will Li Junhao exert his strength in the 400m event next?"
"Zhang Ziyi..."
"Cui Luoheng won the Asian Games 110-meter hurdles gold medal for the Chinese team after 12 years. Will he start to sprint towards the world-class goal next?"
Among the crowd of reporters who were asking questions to the contestants, one reporter finally asked a question that many people did not dare to ask, in full view of everyone.
"Well, Coach Su Bai, I heard that your cooking skills are also at a professional level, and your track and field coaching level is also so high, but at that time, your performance in the 100-meter sprint, which was your main event, was just average. Is it because you divided too much energy between cooking and training research, which led to your poor performance at the time..."
?
Su Bai didn't expect the reporters to ask such a question, but thinking about it, maybe it was because he was so good at cooking and coaching, so the reporters suddenly wanted to dig into his past track and field career, and wanted to see if there were any other topics?
After sorting out the reporter's train of thought in his mind, Su Bai thought for a moment and said with a very honest smile, "No, I really just have poor talent in sprinting."
In one sentence, the reporter who was about to continue asking questions was blocked.
Finally, after the reporters reluctantly asked all the questions, another reporter asked with a smile: "Coach Su Bai, after you come back this time, will you take the players out for a big meal to celebrate?"
Su Bai smiled and waved goodbye to the reporters: "We can't eat out. The food outside doesn't meet the food safety regulations for athletes. I guess I can just cook a big meal for them, right?"
Hearing this, the contestants present shouted excitedly. Although Cui Luoheng did not jump up, his eyes were also filled with bright expectations.
