Chapter 368 Male and Female Pair Dance
Although Gu Siqing was excited about the changes that her rebirth might bring to certain areas of the country in the future, she had no intention of persuading Han Zhengping to accept Su Wenshan right away. She still hoped that things would take their course.
She wasn't a god, she couldn't control everything, nor could she predict the future. People had thoughts and feelings, and she couldn't force someone to do something they didn't want to do just for the sake of a possible future.
So all she could do was let it be.
Gu Sanjing still has to train tomorrow, so Gu Jianguo took her to her training venue at around six o'clock in the afternoon, and Gu Siqing and Han Zhengping followed.
Arriving at the entrance of the General Administration of Sport of China, several people got out of the car. Gu Siqing took down the food that Wang Yueju had prepared for Gu Sanjing and asked, "Are you really not going to let us in? These things are quite heavy."
Gu Sanjing waved her hand, "No need, you know I'm strong."
As they were talking, a bicycle stopped not far from them, and then a thin girl came over with a smile and called to Gu Sanjing: "Sanjing."
Gu Sanjing turned around and saw that it was Ai Xiangshan who lived in the same dormitory with her. She said to Gu Siqing and the others, "Okay, someone is here to help me get my things."
Ai Xiangshan met Gu Jianguo and Gu Siqing, and greeted them with a smile, then said, "Don't worry, I'll help Sanjing carry the things back."
"Thank you," Gu Siqing said to Ai Xiangshan, and then watched the two of them carry their things and walk inside. As soon as they entered, Ai Xiangshan's father came over and said, "Have you heard that the team's already confirmed spots for the National Games will be re-selected."
Gu Jianguo listened to Gu Sanjing's words. He was quite dissatisfied at first, but Sanjing said that she had won first place in the last qualifying round and would have no problem in this competition. The problem was those who were holding back to get a place in the competition. Then he felt relieved and decided to leave it alone.
He had always taken the incident in Lizhou over fifty yuan as a warning. Since his child had good grades and was capable, he wouldn't go to the trouble of currying favor with the coach, lest he get caught in another incident.
So when he heard what Ai Xiangshan's father, Ai Dongming, said, he just said, "I heard about it, but this is the team's decision. What can we do?"
Ai Dongming was somewhat disappointed. Seeing Gu Jianguo driving a car with a mobile phone strapped to his waistband, he felt that he was no ordinary person. He thought that if he, an ordinary worker, couldn't do something, perhaps he could. Unexpectedly, he also said that he had no way.
His daughter Ai Xiangshan had barely made it into the competition during the last preliminaries, so he was worried that his daughter wouldn't perform well this time and wouldn't be able to participate in the National Games.
Gu Jianguo saw the worry on Ai Dongming's face, but he didn't ask any more questions. He said goodbye and left with Gu Siqing and Han Zhengping. On the way, he thought about it and was still a little worried, so he said, "If I sponsor the National Games, it should be okay, right?"
Gu Siqing couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. As the daughter of the sponsor's father, even if there was a shady deal, it wouldn't affect her.
"I think it's great," Gu Siqing said, leaning forward in the seat in front of her. "Aren't you planning to expand your supermarket nationwide? The National Games will definitely be broadcast live on CCTV. If the advertisement is placed in a prominent position, it will definitely have a good effect."
"Okay, I'll discuss this with your second sister when I get back."
Gu Sanjing and Ai Xiangshan carried their belongings and walked towards the dormitory. On the way, Ai Xiangshan sighed and said, "I don't know if I can be selected this time."
"You should have no problem performing normally." Gu Sanjing said, "It's the same training. How much improvement can those who didn't make the competition roster last time make this time? They are improving, and so are we."
Ai Xiangshan was still a little worried, "I'm afraid they'll resort to trickery."
Gu Sanjing thought of what Gu Siqing had said to her before: If you are injured or sick, you will not be able to participate in the competition.
She lowered her voice and said, "We all probably know who's behind this rematch. Keep an eye on them for the time being."
Ai Xiangshan nodded, "I know."
The two chatted as they entered the dormitory. Their dormitory was a four-person room, and the other two had already arrived. Seeing the two of them carrying a lot of things, they came over to take them. Zuo Mingyan even said, "I knew it was delicious the moment I smelled it."
Although Gu Sanjing is a foodie, she doesn't eat alone. She smiled and said, "My mom prepared a lot. You can open it and take it yourself."
Although she said so, Ai Xiangshan and the others did not rush to grab her things. Everyone took a little of what they liked to eat.
Gu Sanjing put her things in her locker when she heard Zuo Mingyan say, "I heard there will be another qualifying round the day after tomorrow. I can't make the list no matter what. You two have to work hard!"
The two of you she was referring to were Gu Sanjing and Ai Xiangshan. There were four people in their dormitory. In the last qualifying round, Gu Sanjing and Ai Xiangshan made the list of participants, while Zuo Mingyan and Wu Haizhen did not.
Zuo Mingyan said this, and Gu Siqing and Ai Xiangshan didn't say anything, but Wu Haizhen was a little unhappy. She had also been stuck here in the last qualifying round, but she was stuck in the group that couldn't participate in the competition.
She was incredibly happy about this requalifying round. She had always felt that while her results weren't as good as Gu Sanjing's, they were still better than Ai Xiangshan's. The reason she didn't beat Ai Xiangshan last time was because she didn't perform well. If she had, she would definitely have made the qualifying list.
Gu Sanjing and Ai Xiangshan both knew that Wu Haizhen was trying hard to get good results in this qualifying round, so they didn't say anything.
At dinner time, the four of them went to the cafeteria together. On the way, they ran into Jiao Qingyi, the champion of the women's 10-meter diving platform at the previous National Games. She greeted Gu Sanjing from a distance, "Sanjing, I just saw you at the gate."
She had joined the national diving team several years earlier than Gu Sanjing, but they trained together, so they were quite familiar with each other. Gu Sanjing smiled and asked her, "Where did you go during your break?"
Jiao Qingyi is not from Kyoto, so he will not go home during this period of rest.
"I went shopping at your supermarket." Jiao Qingyi walked beside her. They got their meals together and then sat down to eat.
"You will definitely have no problem in this competition, don't be nervous." Jiao Qingyi said to Gu Sanjing while eating, her tone sounding like an older sister.
"I don't think too much about it. Just play the game normally." Gu Sanjing said.
"No wonder the coach always says you're pure-hearted. I can't compete with you." She looked at a male team member not far away and said, "Not only are we having to requalify this time, but I heard the quotas for the men's and women's synchronized diving have also changed. I walked by the coach's office the other day, and I think I heard she said that if you were to compete in the synchronized diving, your partner would most likely be Xiao Zhigang."
