He Tiantian nodded, satisfied with Coach Wu's attitude.
"Hehe, that's good." He Tiantian smiled. "But as you can see, I'm married, I have children, I have a husband, and my family is an inseparable part of me. I want to go home every day."
Head Coach Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "When we train in Beijing, you can go home every day. But if we train in other places, you can't go home every day. Before major competitions, we have to train together, and we can't make an exception."
He Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "Hehe, okay, I've got it."
"Does that mean joining our swimming team?" Head Coach Wu asked, as he had the authority to make special recruitment decisions.
"Uh..." He Tiantian hesitated for a moment, "Although you have the privilege of being specially recruited, I think we should take it one step at a time. For example, I can join the Yanjing Municipal Sports Bureau first, and then participate in some competitions. If I do well, I can be transferred to the national team. This process is fair to me, fair to others, and it will also give me more experience."
Hearing He Tiantian's words, Head Coach Wu's eyes lit up, and he nodded, saying, "Okay, Xiao Zhu, you can handle this. You'll be fully responsible for Teacher He's affairs, and also take charge of Teacher He's training."
"Yes, head coach," Zhu Zhitao said with a smile. He never expected Coach He to be so easy to talk to.
But Coach Wu is still the best; he's worth two of them.
Afterwards, the three of them chatted about some interesting things that happened during the competition.
He Tiantian laughed heartily from time to time, clearly in a good mood.
At noon, He Tiantian tried to persuade Head Coach Wu and Zhu Zhitao to stay for lunch, but they declined, citing other commitments.
After leaving He Tiantian's house, Zhu Zhitao pushed his bicycle and asked Head Coach Wu, "Head Coach, do you think it's possible for Teacher He to participate in the 1988 Olympics?"
"It's possible," Head Coach Wu said. "Xiao Zhu, this is your chance, you must seize it."
"By the way, head coach, we convinced Coach He so easily today, do you have a secret?" Zhu Zhitao asked, his heart pounding with anxiety when he arrived.
Head Coach Wu smiled and said, "Xiao Zhu, you're still young, you might not be able to see it. But I've been in the sports industry for so many years, and I can feel He Tiantian's love for swimming. Otherwise, she wouldn't be swimming at the pool every day. Also, I felt a strong fighting spirit from her during her competitions, so I think we can persuade He Tiantian. After all, what's standing in her way is not wanting to be locked up by the sports team and unable to go home. We promised her she could go home every day, so there's no obstacle. As for going out for training camps, it won't be many times."
"By the way, Teacher He is bringing a personal assistant, but the other team members don't get this treatment," Zhu Zhitao asked worriedly. "Won't this affect team unity?"
"Hey, I noticed earlier that He Tiantian has guards at her house. A family like that can't just have one person when they go out. They call her a personal assistant, but she's really a bodyguard. She was specially recruited, so giving her a few more privileges is fine. What I care about is her grades; nothing else matters."
"Yes, the head coach is truly insightful," Zhu Zhitao flattered, admitting that he couldn't compare to the head coach in various tests.
I hope to gradually improve in my future studies and teaching.
A week later, He Tiantian had become a specially recruited member of the city's sports bureau swimming team.
Because He Tiantian had only participated in one competition, and it was an amateur one, no one in the Municipal Sports Bureau knew her.
I visited the Huo family's old residence over the weekend.
When Madam Huo heard He Tiantian's words, she was taken aback and asked, "Tiantian, do you really want to become an athlete? That must be very tough!"
Zhao Huanhuan smiled and said, "Sweetie, they say that every profession is like a mountain, you're amazing. You studied Chinese and ended up becoming a swimmer."
“Yes, Tiantian, training is so tough, and there’s no guarantee you’ll win a medal,” Song Chunli advised. “Your business is doing so well now, why don’t you just stay home, take care of the kids, go shopping, and manage the business? Isn’t that a good life?”
Although her aunt Song Chunli disagreed, He Tiantian knew that she meant no harm and was just trying to persuade her based on her own perspective on the matter.
He Tiantian smiled and said, "Hehe, I just like swimming, so I participated. As for the ranking and medals, it's fine if I get them, but it doesn't matter if I don't."
"If you like it, then do it." Old Madam Huo knew that He Tiantian was very determined, and if she objected, it might make He Tiantian resentful.
Besides, it's a sporting event, which is positive and uplifting, so there's nothing wrong with it.
In recent years, the country has done a lot of publicity in order to develop sports.
Especially at the 1984 Olympics, Xu Haifeng's shot broke the record of China's first Olympic gold medal, and the whole country gained a greater understanding of the athlete.
"Sweetie, be careful during training. If you injure yourself, you'll suffer when you get older," Zhao Huanhuan advised. "If you're interested, I know of a retired traditional Chinese medicine clinic. His massage and acupuncture are quite good. You can go see that old doctor if needed."
"Thank you so much, sister-in-law," He Tiantian said gratefully, thanking Zhao Huanhuan for her kindness.
Although Song Chunli disagreed, she couldn't interfere with He Tiantian's decisions, after all, she wasn't a proper mother-in-law. Over the years, she had followed He Tiantian in business and made so much money, which made her very happy, so naturally she wanted He Tiantian to be happy as well.
“Sweetie, don’t worry about things at home, we’ll take care of them,” Song Chunli said. “It’s good to be able to do what you love. When I was young, I loved to sing, but I never had the chance. Now I’ve joined a senior citizens’ choir, and we meet three times a week. I’m always happy when I go. Putting myself in your shoes, since you like swimming, go for it! As long as you’re happy. As for the ranking, it’s great if you get it, but it’s okay if you don’t.”
"Hehe, Tiantian, your aunt is right, you must remember that," said Madam Huo. "As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Our Huo family doesn't have so many rules. If there's a competition in Yanjing next time, we'll definitely go watch."
"Thank you for your understanding, elders." He Tiantian smiled, looking especially happy.
I called my mother-in-law a couple of days ago and told her about this.
My parents-in-law didn't object; in fact, my mother-in-law was quite supportive.
With the understanding and blessings of her whole family, He Tiantian packed her bags and went to the Yanjing Municipal Sports Bureau Swimming Team.
Wei Yuanyuan is He Tiantian's bodyguard, protecting her every step of the way.
The other one is Cui Ying.
Cui Ying and Hua Shan jointly manage antique shops in Yanjing and Nanshi.
After Cui Ying gave birth to a child and raised the child to the age of three, the child was taken to the sect by his father, Cui Yong, to begin cultivation.
Cui Ying is skilled in massage and acupressure.
