Chapter 392: Unfortunately, my heart aches
Xia Zhengming was also very angry after hearing about Gu Sanjing's incident at school. That Xiao Zhigang was just a toad wanting to eat swan meat!
Sanjing is a definite potential champion. With her looks and family background, even the son of a minor leader in the Sports Bureau would dare to dream of her.
"I'll make a call later." Xia Zhengming said.
With his status, a phone call is enough.
After dinner, Xia Zhengming went to the study, picked up the phone, and called the director of the General Administration of Sports. "Do you know Xiao Zhigang?"
Ruan Zhixin, director of the General Administration of Sports, felt a pang of anxiety when he received Xia Zhengming's call. It seemed this man really did have a relative on the diving team. He smiled and said, "I know. He's the son of the head of our bureau's personnel department."
Xia Zhengming snorted, "I have something to talk to him about. Do you have his phone number?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Please wait a moment, I'll look for it." Although Ruan Zhixin was very curious why Xia Zhengming was looking for Xiao Guohua, he didn't dare to ask. He just reported the phone number as soon as he found it.
Xia Zhengming got the phone number and called Xiao Zhigang's father, Xiao Guohua. Xiao Guohua was stunned for a moment when he heard it was Xia Zhengming, then said respectfully, "What can I do for you?"
He never expected that such a high-ranking leader would call him so late at night. He was flustered and a little excited.
He held the receiver tightly in his hand when he heard Xia Zhengming say, "Your son's name is Xiao Zhigang?"
"Yes, Xiao Zhigang is my son." Xiao Guohua didn't know whether Xia Zhengming mentioned his son as a good thing or a bad thing, and he felt very nervous.
"As an athlete, you should focus on training and strive to win glory for your country. Don't always focus on other things and try to take shortcuts. It depends on whether you are qualified to take this path."
Xia Zhengming's tone was naturally bad, with a hint of contempt in his anger. But Xiao Guohua didn't care about his tone at the moment, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
What did Xiao Zhigang do to offend such a big shot?
"Minister Xia, it's my fault for not educating him well." Although he didn't know why Xia Zhengming said that about Xiao Zhigang, Xiao Guohua still admitted his mistake and said, "I wonder where my son made a mistake?"
Xia Zhengming snorted again, "Ask your son. Tell him not to think about people he shouldn't think about."
Xia Zhengming hung up the phone after saying this. Xiao Guohua listened to the busy tone, sweat still dripping from his forehead. His wife Liu Rong came over, took the receiver from him, put it on the phone, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Guohua wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered, "Could it be that Xia Zhengming's relative is Gu Sanjing? This...this...what should I do?"
"What's going on? Explain it clearly." Liu Rong became anxious seeing him like this.
Xiao Guohua sighed, "Do you know who called me just now?"
"Who?" Liu Rong asked.
"Xia Zhengming!" Xiao Guohua took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff.
Liu Rong was a little confused, "Which Xia Zhengming?"
Xiao Guohua: "Who else could it be, Xia Zhengming?"
Liu Rong was so shocked that she didn't know what to say. After a while, she said, "Why is he calling? So late at night."
"He asked Zhigang and told Zhigang not to covet people he shouldn't." Xiao Guohua never thought that his son was just planning to find a partner, but ended up offending such a big shot.
Before Liu Rong could wrap her head around it, she casually said, "Who is Zhigang obsessed with? Isn't he dating that Gu Sanjing?"
"Shut up!" Xiao Zhigang's head hurt from her words. He emphasized every word, "Zhigang is not dating Gu Sanjing. They are just teammates. Those are just rumors."
"Didn't you say before..."
"I didn't say anything before." Xiao Guohua took another deep puff of his cigarette in annoyance.
Liu Rong didn't know what was wrong with him. They had discussed it all before. Gu Sanjing's family was rich and she had some connections. She was also a good diver and had a good chance of becoming an Olympic champion.
Their Zhigang should find a partner like this. Gu Sanjing is only sixteen years old now, and the little girl is very innocent. Their Zhigang is good-looking and has good grades. If he can just flirt with the little girl, he will definitely be able to secure this marriage.
But she never expected that her son had been courting Gu Sanjing for so long, yet she remained indifferent. She told her son to spread rumors in the team, saying that he and Gu Sanjing were dating, and slowly it became true.
This was something the three of them had discussed, so why are they not allowed to talk about it now?
Seeing that he hadn't figured out the key points yet, Xiao Guohua said, "Gu Sanjing must be related to Xia Zhengming, and this relationship is not ordinary."
"This...this..." Liu Rong didn't know what to say. She never expected that Gu Sanjing was so powerful.
"Oh, it would be great if Zhigang was really dating Gu Sanjing! How come this isn't the case?" Liu Rong felt so sorry that her heart ached.
"Shut up!" Xiao Guohua scolded coldly, "I'm telling you again, Zhigang and Gu Sanjing have nothing to do with each other. Those are just rumors. If you keep talking nonsense, our family might be finished."
Liu Rong realized the seriousness of the situation and asked, "What should we do?"
"What else can I do? Talk to Zhigang tomorrow and ask him to clarify the rumors and apologize to Gu Sanjing. A sincere apology."
Isn't it a pity for Xiao Guohua? Of course it's a pity. If Gu Sanjing can marry into their family, it means that they and Xia Zhengming will become relatives, and they will be able to rise to prominence in the future.
But his son is incompetent and can't take down Gu Sanjing. What can he do?
Xiao Guohua didn't sleep that night. The next morning he went to find Xiao Zhigang and told him about Xia Zhengming's call.
Xiao Zhigang was also surprised. He knew Gu Sanjing came from a good family, and it was said that both of her brothers-in-law were well-known. But he never expected that she was also related to the Xia family.
He was also very distressed! How could Gu Sanjing be so stupid and ignore his pursuit?
"You should clarify the rumors today, and then apologize to Gu Sanjing, a sincere apology. Stay away from her from now on." Xiao Guohua said.
"Dad, Sanjing is young and her mind is on training. When she grows up, maybe..."
"Shut up!" Xiao Guohua scolded coldly, "Xia Zhengming called me specifically to tell me about this. What does that mean? Gu Sanjing's family doesn't like you. Don't even think about starting with Gu Sanjing. If she liked you, you wouldn't have to spread rumors."
Xiao Zhigang was still somewhat unwilling, but he understood the pros and cons of this matter immediately. No matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to agree to Xiao Guohua.
