Chapter 371 Who is not selfish?
As the head coach of the national diving team, Pei Yunxia shoulders the heavy responsibility of ensuring the team achieves excellent results in international competitions. She values every outstanding member of the team and devotes significant effort to their development.
Since joining the national diving team, Jiao Qingyi has always performed well. She was also the champion of the women's 10-meter diving platform in the last National Games. If she keeps working hard, she will set her goal of an Olympic Grand Slam on Jiao Qingyi.
Unfortunately, she's been slacking off since her last National Games victory, clearly not putting her full attention into training. Rumors also circulated that she was dating Xiao Zhigang, and now she's even trying to focus on her teammates.
Thinking of this, Pei Yunxia was really angry at the lack of fighting spirit and was extremely irritated.
"People should do the right thing at the right time. I just told Sanjing this." Pei Yunxia looked at Jiao Qingyi seriously and said, "You're an athlete. Your future is determined by how many gold medals you win, not by how much effort you put into finding a good partner. Go back and think about it."
"Thank you, Coach Pei. I understand." Jiao Qingyi bowed gently to Pei Yunxia and then turned and left the office. She wasn't stupid; she took Pei Yunxia's words to heart. For example, she said that the future would be good or bad, and the number of gold medals she won would determine it.
She had won the women's 10-meter diving platform at the National Games last time, and Xiao Zhigang had begun pursuing her. Xiao Zhigang was handsome, had family members working at the General Administration of Sport, and was also a good diver. Considering all these factors, she agreed to his pursuit.
She thought that if she won another Olympic gold medal and had connections with Xiao Zhigang's family, she would definitely be able to stay in the national sports team after retirement. If she handled it well, she might even be able to become the head coach.
Therefore, she was particularly attentive when dating Xiao Zhigang.
Human energy is limited. She put more attention on other things and less on diving, which led to her missing the gold medal in the subsequent Olympics.
As a result, Xiao Zhigang's attitude towards her changed greatly, and the conflicts between the two became more and more serious. After a fierce quarrel, the two broke up completely.
Although they broke up, they still trained together. Xiao Zhigang noticed Gu Sanjing after she joined the national team. It was hard not to be noticed by people with Gu Sanjing's appearance.
Xiao Zhigang is a man who is good at calculating gains and losses. Although he noticed Gu Sanjing, he did not take action immediately. Later, he learned that Gu Sanjing had good grades and a good family background, and then he started to pursue her.
But Gu Sanjing was a blockhead. Xiao Zhigang often walked around her, but she acted as if she didn't notice. Then Xiao Zhigang found her and asked her to help her pursue Gu Sanjing. This way, Gu Sanjing's attention might be distracted and affect her training, and she would have one less competitor.
This was a great temptation for her. Although Gu Sanjing had been in the team for a short time, she was very strong. In a team test, Gu Sanjing surpassed her results, which she could not accept.
It was fine for those who won the championship in the Olympics before, but it was embarrassing and unacceptable for Gu Sanjing, who had just joined the team not long ago, to have better results than her.
Her goal is to win at least one gold medal in the next Olympics. Given Gu Sanjing's current performance and the importance her coach places on her, she's definitely going to participate in next year's Olympics.
Then, Gu Sanjing is her strongest opponent. If this competitor falls behind or encounters an accident, then her chances of winning the gold medal will be greater.
She knew better than anyone how much a relationship affected her training, so she agreed to Xiao Zhigang's proposal. She wanted to see Gu Sanjing become like her one day.
Today, she mentioned Xiao Zhigang to Gu Sanjing because she wanted her to notice him. She felt that Xiao Zhigang was very attractive in terms of appearance, academic performance, and family background.
Gu Sanjing was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and at the time when her love was beginning to blossom, she could definitely not escape Xiao Zhigang's charm.
But she never expected that she would tell the coach what she said to her. Is Gu Sanjing stupid or naive?
What should I do now?
Jiao Qingyi paced back and forth outside the training room, wondering whether to abandon his original plan or continue.
If the previous plan was not continued, she would have to redouble her efforts in training, but even so, she might not be able to surpass Gu Sanjing. Gu Sanjing was younger and in better physical condition than her, and their diving skills were similar...
She can't compare to Gu Sanjing.
Should the plan continue? If so, it might be exposed. But there's also the possibility that Gu Sanjing and Xiao Zhigang are dating. With Xiao Zhigang's promise, she has a high chance of winning the gold medal at next year's Olympics.
Thinking of this, she already knew what to choose. She took a deep breath and stepped into the training hall. As soon as she entered, she heard a scream and saw a girl sliding down the steps leading to the diving platform. Below her was Gu Sanjing.
At this moment, her breathing stopped. She hoped that Gu Sanjing could be taken down so that she would not have to do anything next. But Gu Sanjing's next action made her open her mouth wide.
Ai Xiangshan, who was in front, slipped and fell backwards. Gu Sanjing was standing right behind her. They had such a good relationship, but Gu Sanjing didn't pull Ai Xiangshan up the first time. Instead, she climbed up a step and stood firm before pulling up Ai Xiangshan, who had already fallen.
At this moment, she realized that Gu Sanjing was not stupid or foolish at all.
At this moment, Gu Sanjing held Ai Xiangshan tightly and shouted to the people behind him, "Help me!"
The female team members behind her finally reacted and hurried over to pull Ai Xiangshan. Then they helped her to the open space below. Ai Xiangshan cried in pain because she twisted her foot.
Seeing her constantly touching her ankle, Gu Sanjing said, "Did you sprain your ankle? I'll go call a doctor."
The team has a dedicated team doctor.
But before she could stand up, she heard Ai Xiangshan crying and saying, "You don't have to be so kind."
Gu Sanjing stood there in a daze, thinking about how she had climbed up the stairs and stood firmly before pulling her up, Gu Sanjing instantly understood that Ai Xiangshan was blaming her for not saving her the first time.
She doesn't feel guilty about this at all.
If she had been there to save Ai Xiangshan, she would have fallen from above with such great force that she would not have been able to hold her up completely, and both of them would have been injured.
She climbed up the stairs, and I stood firm before rescuing her. It might have been a bit selfish, but who wouldn't be selfish at a time like this? A fall could have meant not being able to compete in the National Games at best, or even never being able to dive again in the rest of her life.
