Run a short distance, jump!
As soon as Zhou Chen landed, Lu Guoliang immediately checked the distance of his jump.
Upon looking through the measuring tape, I immediately gasped in shock.
Goodness, 7.33 meters!
This achievement is comparable to, if not better than, that of professional long jumpers in the provincial team.
Lu Guoliang's heart was stirred again. Now it seemed that Zhou Chen's talent was far more than just the 100-meter dash; he was also very good at the long jump.
Zhou Chen is a treasure, a rough gem.
If someone can reach this level without professional training, what would happen if they trained day after day?
Lu Guoliang was deeply moved; Zhou Chen was undoubtedly the most talented high school student he had seen in recent years.
His future is limitless.
"Let's test other items."
In front of the astonished school team members, Lu Guoliang did not talk at length about the long jump results, but instead called Zhou Chen to continue the test.
As members of the school team, they felt the terrifying pressure of Zhou Chen's talent as a newcomer. For many of them, Zhou Chen was like a game-changer.
"We trained for three whole years, but our best results were still not as good as those of people who hadn't trained at all. It's outrageous!"
"Everyone says that genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. That's complete bullshit. In the face of talent, hard work is nothing."
"He's a natural athlete, but I admire him. He can run a 12-second race in any kind of running. If it were me, I'd probably only be able to compete with him in long-distance running, it would be a test of endurance."
The school team members had various discussions about Zhou Chen's incredible talent, some were jealous, some were envious, and some were unwilling to admit defeat.
But one thing they all acknowledged was that Zhou Chen was indeed remarkable.
Without using connections or back channels, Zhou Chen was qualified to be brought in by Lu Guoliang.
Through a series of tests
Lu Guoliang discovered that Zhou Chen's talent was most outstanding in running and long jump. He was not bad in other events, but they were just average in comparison. However, he was still outstanding in the whole school team.
Based on this, Lu Guoliang decided to have Zhou Chen focus on the 100-meter dash and the long jump.
We can add hurdles later, after all, with Zhou Chen's jumping ability, it would be a shame if he didn't train in this event.
Since it was the first day of training, Lu Guoliang did not immediately start increasing the intensity.
Zhou Chen is allowed to leave early, and will officially begin training tomorrow.
This is naturally a good thing for Zhou Chen.
With five minutes left before school ended, Zhou Chen returned to the classroom, where he was met with a flurry of attention.
An ordinary person might have been unable to resist feeling proud or smug, but Zhou Chen's mature mindset kept him calm and composed, without the slightest thought of showing off.
After packing my schoolbag, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the school term.
Li Kaile followed behind Zhou Chen, and the two walked home together after school. When they passed the security booth at the school gate, Zhou Chen chatted with Grandpa Liang for a while and shared the good news that he had joined the school team with Grandpa Liang.
Grandpa Liang really likes to brag.
He directly mentioned his youth, when he could run 100 meters in 15 seconds. His teacher recommended him to join the provincial team and become a professional athlete, but he refused because his dream was to help farmers get rich.
Zhou Chen naturally didn't take it seriously, nor did he mention that his 100-meter speed was over 12 seconds. After all, he was an elderly man, so it was best to save him some face.
He'd kill his opponent in chess, leaving them utterly defeated; and if he were to boast and then get slapped in the face, Grandpa Liang's heart wouldn't be able to take it.
"I won't go with you about the stall cart. I have formal training tomorrow and need to make some arrangements. As for the money, I've already paid you in advance. Once the stall cart is ready, you can just push it away. Prepare the raw materials I told you about. Tomorrow night, you can set up your stall and make money on your own."
After saying goodbye to Grandpa Liang, Zhou Chen didn't plan to go to the repair shop with Li Kaile. He wanted to go to the construction site canteen so that he wouldn't be too busy to go there once training started.
"Brother Chen, you go ahead and do your work. I will prepare everything you asked me to do."
Li Kaile knew that Zhou Chen had a lot to do, so he didn't say much. He waved and left first. Thinking about how he could run his own stinky tofu business tomorrow, he felt excited, expectant, and a little apprehensive.
"We must not let Brother Chen down."
"I'm sure I can sell stinky tofu well, but before that, I need to find a place with a foot traffic that rivals that of a night market."
He can't set up a stall at the night market because he'll steal Zhou Chen's business. So, besides the night market, where is the place with the highest foot traffic?
Soon, a thought flashed through Li Kaile's mind. He had a place that was perfect for him to start a stinky tofu business.
TRAIN STATION!
As long as he capitalizes on the passenger flow at the train station and sells stinky tofu to passing travelers, he's sure to make money.
"You're the one!"
Li Kaile smiled slightly, clenched his fist, and knew that tomorrow would be the beginning of his grand ambitions.
at the same time,
In the small square in front of the train station,
At a stall, Zhou Ling was busy handing out fried stinky tofu to each customer.
Only after all the guests had left did Zhou Ling have time to rest.
Touching her bulging wallet, her face was full of joy. She had made some money by setting up a stall in front of the bus station, but the passenger flow at the bus station was still not as good as that at the train station.
So after setting up a stall in front of the bus station for a few days, Zhou Ling made a decisive decision to start a business in front of the train station.
I have to say, I earned much more in a day than I did at the bus station before.
She thought that once she had saved enough money, she could set up another stall and hire people to sell in front of the bus station. If Zhou Chen could be a boss, why couldn't she? At that time, she would also hire people to sell at her stall, specifically in front of the train station, and she would never miss a single customer.
"If Brother Kun knew that I made at least three hundred yuan from my stall today, he would be very happy."
He would praise me for being capable.
Zhou Ling muttered to herself, her face beaming with happiness.
But soon, a faint look of grievance appeared on her face, because in the past few days, Zhao Kun had not accompanied her to set up the stall. He often went to his friends' places, leaving the whole task of selling stinky tofu to her alone.
They didn't come to pick her up until it got dark.
Now, the time they come to pick her up is getting later and later.
“Brother Kun must be working hard for our family. As his wife, I should believe in him and understand him unconditionally.”
After a moment of random thoughts, Zhou Ling quickly composed herself.
She wanted to be an outstanding woman, to live a better life, and to slap Zhou Chen in the face, to let him know that she was happy.
then,
Zhou Ling started shouting her wares louder to attract the attention of passersby.
The next day, when Zhou Chen arrived at school, he was taken aback when he heard Li Kaile's idea of setting up a stall in front of the train station.
He remembered Xu Dalong saying that Zhou Ling was selling stinky tofu in front of the train station.
If Li Kaile also sets up a stall, he will definitely steal Zhou Ling's business. With the authentic taste of his stinky tofu, Zhou Ling's life will probably not be easy.
But,
What does this have to do with him?
