Chapter 375: Time Reveals People's Hearts
The language used in official circles is never straightforward, and subordinates must carefully consider every word from their superiors.
For example, Xia Zhengming made a phone call to Ruan Xinzhi, director of the General Administration of Sports. Although he was talking about an incident in the diving team, Ruan Xinzhi definitely did not think the matter was that simple.
Xia Zhengming's job title had nothing to do with sports, so why was he suddenly asking about the sports team? And at night?
Ruan Xinzhi sat in his study for a long time, his mind tossing every detail of the situation over and over again. Finally, he decided it was best to clarify Xia Zhengming's intentions first. The Sports Bureau appeared to be peaceful, and they had always advocated fair competition, but he also knew that absolute fairness did not exist.
Just like the rematch of this qualifying match, this kind of thing is a small matter for the General Administration of Sports, and the people below will make the decision directly.
When he learned about this, he understood that there must be some reason behind it, but he didn't expect it to become such a big deal. An athlete simply sprained his foot, and if he didn't recover well, he might have to retire.
Ruan Xinzhi picked up the phone and called a friend who also lived in the government compound, asking if there were any relatives of the Xia family in the national sports team.
The other party thought for a long time and said, "The Xia family isn't big. Xia Zhengming's two children, one is abroad and the other is studying law at university. Xia Yuan's family has moved to Hong Kong, and I haven't heard of anyone on the national sports team."
Ruan Xinzhi was still not giving up and asked again: "Does the Xia family have any relatives in the Gu family sports team?"
The other party heard what he said, "Xinzhi, do you really need to ask so much? Xia Zhengming's call means this matter must have implicated someone close to him. And even if Xia Zhengming hadn't called you, wouldn't you have still been able to handle such a serious incident with the diving team? Without a good training environment for athletes, how can we produce more champions? Where will your achievements come from?" Ruan Xinzhi's friend's words instantly sobered him up; he had been frightened by Xia Zhengming's call. After hanging up, he made a few more calls, all to his subordinates, to arrange a series of tasks.
To be in his position, he must have some scheming skills. He only needs to calm down and think about it to know where the key to the matter lies. He just cares too much about his position and is too cautious in doing things.
Now that I've figured it out, no matter who Xia Zhengming called him for, as long as the problem is clarified, there shouldn't be any big problems.
He was busy with his work. Xia Zhengming made a phone call and left the study. Xia Qingzhang, Old Lady Xia, and Feng Hailan were all in the living room. He walked over and sat down. "I called Ruan Xinzhi from the General Administration of Sports. He should be looking into this matter."
Xia Qingzhang snorted heavily. "He's timid and hesitant in doing things. The national sports team is in such a mess. He bears the most important responsibility."
"Yueju's four children are all smart, but Sanjing is a bit straightforward. He needs to be watched carefully and not let anyone bully him." Old Mrs. Xia doesn't care about political affairs. She cares about her own children.
Feng Hailan laughed when she heard her words. "There are so many of us. If San Jing is still bullied, how incompetent must we be?"
"During the National Games, no matter whether the other two go or not, we two must go to watch the three Jings compete." Old Mrs. Xia patted Feng Hailan's hand and said, Feng Hailan smiled and said okay.
At the Gu family's side, Gu Jianguo was telling Wang Yueju about Xia Zhengming's call. "His uncle called and asked about Sanjing. I told him everything."
Wang Yueju was folding clothes. After hearing his words, she paused and said, "At the beginning, I was really worried that they wouldn't get along because of Xia Yuan. Now it seems that Xia Yuan is the only one who is different."
"Time reveals a person's true character. The more you get along with him, the more you'll know what kind of person he is." Gu Jianguo got on the bed and watched her folding clothes, saying, "If someone is sincere to us, we should be sincere to them as well."
Wang Yueju put the folded clothes in the closet and turned around and said, "Those are my biological parents, how could I not know them?"
Gu Jianguo laughed, and Wang Yueju also got on the bed. "Everyone wants someone to love and protect them. When I was a child, I often wondered what my biological parents were like and whether they were looking for me."
Gu Jianguo put his arm around her shoulders and whispered, "People say that even if bones are broken, the tendons remain connected. Blood is born with feelings."
"Alas," Wang Yueju sighed, "Tian Huiying and the others are coming in a couple of days. It looks like Xiuwan and Su Wenshan are reconciling. What will Zhengping do then? Not to mention others, if it were me, I'd also feel uncomfortable if my son, whom I've raised for so many years, suddenly became someone else's. How can a biological child be considered close after all these years?"
Gu Jianguo turned off the lights, and they lay down together. He said, "Don't say this in front of Tian Huiying. She's narrow-minded. Besides, Zhengping is already old enough and doesn't need anyone to take care of him. He's just another father, just like having another mother before. Wouldn't it be better if everyone could get along harmoniously? Don't worry, the Su family will handle this matter well."
Wang Yueju thought of An Ruijin after hearing his words. She smiled and said, "Let's not talk about others. The old lady of the Su family is very powerful. If it weren't for her, Xiuwan and Su Wenshan would still be in a stalemate."
"So, the Su family is also understanding people. This is also Zhengping's blessing. Both his adoptive parents and biological parents are reasonable." Gu Jianguo said.
Wang Yueju leaned aside and said, "Yes, I just don't know if Xiaosi and Zhengping can get along in the future. If the two children get married, everyone will be happy. We know each other well, and Zhengping has grown up under our care."
She was always worried that Han Zhengping would never come back from studying abroad.
"Let it be." Gu Jianguo also turned sideways, so that the couple were facing each other. He put his arm around her, closed his eyes, and said, "Go to sleep."
Wang Yueju also knew that this kind of thing was not something she could decide, so she could only let nature take its course and closed her eyes to sleep.
Tonight, Gu Siqing and Gu Sanjing slept in the same bed. Gu Siqing had originally wanted to give Sanjing, who was hurt, some chicken soup, and she had prepared a lot. But unexpectedly, as soon as she lay down on the bed, she had just started the warm-up, and before she even started, she fell asleep.
Gu Siqing leaned sideways and looked at the moonlight outside through the window, sighed, she was just being too sentimental!
The next day, Gu Sanjing was sent to the General Administration of Sports with great energy. Gu Siqing and Gu Jianguo went to see her off together. As she got out of the car, she told them, "Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be fine."
Gu Jianguo patted her shoulder and said, "Just focus on your training and don't worry about anything else."
"Okay, I know."
