"Because you are a monster in the 100-meter race, we have no hope of winning the championship, so we can only start from other tracks."
Meng Xiaohai said.
Forehead……
This reason, which was both laughable and frustrating, left Zhou Chen speechless for a moment.
Xu Wei and Meng Xiaohai exchanged a glance.
The next second,
The two burst into laughter, patting Zhou Chen on the shoulder to indicate that they were joking.
"To be honest, the reason we stopped running the 100 meters has little to do with you. We know that there are many people who are more talented than us, and there are countless top athletes from other provincial teams. In the 100-meter track, you are qualified to compete for first place, while we have virtually no hope."
Rather than being a mere participant, why not try a different track? Perhaps we can forge a new path. Besides, our country has never won a championship in the decathlon; we want to try and break that record.
Meng Xiaohai smiled and said again.
"At least in this track, domestically, we have a chance to stand out, but in the 100-meter track, it will be difficult. With the Olympics just around the corner, the best athletes will be selected from all provinces across the country. We are newcomers with average strength, so the only way we can get a ticket to the Olympics is to find another way."
Xu Wei echoed.
Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but he thought their decision was reasonable. In sports, besides sweat, talent is the most important thing.
Some say that genius is 99 percent perspiration and 1 percent inspiration. However, the truth is that the 1 percent inspiration is more important than the 99 percent perspiration.
If it doesn't work, it doesn't work; you can't overcome that by trying harder.
Some things are innate and have nothing to do with effort.
I chatted with Meng Xiaohai and Xu Wei for half an hour, and then continued training in the afternoon.
After a long day, even though Zhou Chen was young and strong, he was still quite tired and wanted to stay in bed.
The training for the provincial team is truly something else; it's much tougher than that of a top high school. No wonder it's called the provincial team. It has many top athletes who are already exceptionally talented, one in a million sports geniuses. With the addition of scientific training, it's hard for them not to be strong.
Even so, Zhou Chen knew that there were many people who were working much harder than him.
For example, for Meng Xiaohai and Xu Wei, who chose the decathlon track, the probability of winning the championship in this event is not much easier than it is for them in an individual event.
With many projects, there's a lot to learn and a lot of training time required. The difficulty is considerable, and people without perseverance simply cannot stick with it.
Zhou Chen admired the two of them for having the courage to choose this path.
Training days are monotonous and tedious.
Zhou Chen's clothes get soaked no less than ten times a day, and after a whole day of training, he smells terrible.
Needless to say, Zhou Chen felt that the effort and reward were proportional. His performance improved again, and he also met many future star athletes here.
The most important one among them is Flying Man Xiang.
A superstar who broke the world record and just won the Olympic gold medal in the 110-meter hurdles.
Flying Man Xiang was much easier to get along with than Zhou Chen had imagined. He was lucky enough to shake hands with him. Flying Man Xiang said that he had seen his performance in the National Youth Track and Field Championships and said that he had great potential and looked forward to his future performance.
Whether it's just politeness or a deliberate compliment,
Zhou Chen had a very good impression of Flying Man Xiang because he felt that Flying Man Xiang was a pure athlete who was focused on sports, and that the honor he brought to the country was worthy of people's admiration.
As for the criticism he received from many people afterward...
Zhou Chen has always believed that a certain country is sabotaging things, not wanting someone as amazing as Xiang to emerge in the East. Therefore, they are using public intellectuals like Er Gouzi to smear and incite public opinion.
This could ruin a professional athlete.
The days with the provincial team passed in the blink of an eye. The seven-day training ended, and there were only two days left until the Chinese New Year.
Zhou Chen and Lu Guoliang embarked on their return journey.
Before leaving, Zhou Chen met with Ma Dong, Meng Xiaohai, and Xu Wei, during which an interesting incident occurred.
The group was shocked to learn that Zhou Chen had a franchise store in Shanghai when they discussed his stinky tofu business. After eating half of their meal, they went to the pedestrian street and asked Zhou Chen to treat them to stinky tofu.
On the road,
Lu Guoliang remarked that this trip to the provincial team was very rewarding.
Zhou Chen felt this deeply. In the past, relying solely on his talent and the earliest skill training, his progress was slow. But in the past few days, through the most advanced methods and techniques, combined with training equipment, not only has his progress been rapid, but he has also avoided situations where he was prone to injury.
As an athlete, injuries are fatal, and staying injury-free is even more difficult than winning championships all the time. This time, he learned a lot about how to avoid injuries.
Zhou Chen didn't return directly to Fanjia County. Instead, he boarded a bus bound for Fengcheng en route, intending to see Sun Wanying.
Lu Guoliang saw through it but didn't say anything, only saying, "Be careful to use safety measures."
Goodness!
Old Lu, what kind of person do you think I am? Am I that kind of person?
Upon arriving in Fengcheng, before it was even dark, Zhou Chen went to the florist where he had previously ordered flowers, took the flowers, and headed to Sun Wanying's company.
He was preparing a surprise for Sun Wanying.
After waiting for quite a while at the company entrance, I finally saw that beautiful figure slowly walk out from the crowd.
However, just as Zhou Chen was about to step forward,
His steps faltered slightly because a bespectacled man with a fawning smile was following Sun Wanying, chattering incessantly. Sun Wanying's face showed obvious impatience, as if she had reached a certain point. She suddenly stopped and then told the man with a serious expression that she had a boyfriend.
The bespectacled man didn't believe it. Even when Sun Wanying said that someone sent her flowers every day, he comforted himself by saying that Sun Wanying bought them for herself, creating the illusion that someone was pursuing her, which left Sun Wanying speechless.
Actually, Zhou Chen, who was standing not far away, was also speechless when he heard the man's words.
Isn't this just being unreasonable?
Most importantly, you're trying to poach my boyfriend, that's going too far.
then,
While Sun Wanying was thinking about how to get rid of the bespectacled man, Zhou Chen came up to her with flowers, put his arm around Sun Wanying's waist, and said to the bespectacled man, "Brother, this is my woman, you should find someone else."
The bespectacled man was filled with disbelief when he saw Zhou Chen suddenly appear, especially Zhou Chen's intimate behavior with Sun Wanying.
Sun Wanying was both surprised and delighted by Zhou Chen's arrival.
When did you arrive?
"Training just ended, and I can't wait to see you. Let's go, I'll take you out for something delicious."
Zhou Chen, ignoring the bespectacled man, whispered sweet nothings and pulled Sun Wanying away.
Upon seeing this, the bespectacled man's heart shattered instantly.
