Chapter 576: Choice
When they reached the foot of Xishan Mountain, they stopped the car. Because the triplets were too small to be carried up the mountain, Gu Yimin and Ye Chi decided not to go up the mountain. Wang Yueju also chose to stay and take care of the triplets. The others began to climb the mountain slowly.
Gu Sanjing has good physical strength and can climb fast naturally. She and Xu Yusen walked in the front, followed by Gu Jianguo. Zhang Zijun let Zhuangzhuang ride on his neck, and their family walked quite fast. Gu Siqing and Han Zhengping were the last ones to fall behind.
"On weekends, let's go hiking or play ball. You're too weak." Han Zhengping pulled Gu Siqing, who was a little out of breath, and said, "Or you can pick up the dance you learned before."
"I can't help it! I don't have time to exercise." Gu Siqing said breathlessly.
Han Zhengping: "Time can be squeezed out."
"Okay, I'll make time for exercise." Gu Siqing smiled and pulled his arm, then whispered, "Am I being good?"
Han Zhengping knew she was up to something again, but he still smiled and said, "Be good!"
"Should we give him a reward?" Gu Siqing asked.
"What reward do you want?"
"Carry me for a while."
Han Zhengping: ""
Is this called making time for exercise?
He strode forward, and Gu Siqing hurriedly followed with a smile.
After coming down from the mountain, Gu Siqing was so tired that her legs felt like they didn't belong to her anymore. She sat in their campsite and didn't want to move at all. Gu Erhui was in a similar situation, while Gu Sanjing was still full of energy.
After a short break, Gu Siqing came to Gu Jianguo and whispered, "Dad, it's time for you to show off again. Xu Yusen doesn't even know our family's fine traditions."
Wang Yueju heard it nearby and pushed Gu Jianguo, "Hurry up and go."
Comrade Gu Jianguo resigned himself to his fate and stood up to clean up the barbecue grill. Seeing this, his four sons-in-law immediately went over to help. Then the scene became like this: the men were barbecuing, while the women were chatting and playing with the children.
After a lively day of fun, Gu Sanjing arrived at the team the next day. Instead of returning to the dormitory, she went to Pei Yunxia's office. When she arrived, Pei Yunxia had just arrived at the office. Seeing her coming, she smiled and asked her to do it.
After Gu Sanjing sat down, she asked, "Coach Pei, do you know if anyone on the team is using stimulants?"
After hearing her words, Pei Yunxia calmly sat down opposite her and said, "Just focus on your training and don't worry about anything else."
"You know, right?" Gu Sanjing asked.
Pei Yunxia sighed, "The three statics and the ban on stimulants are not something that can be done by one or two people. This requires a strong attitude from the higher authorities, and even requires it to be written into law. Otherwise, there is no way to absolutely ban it."
"But at least make sure no one in our diving team uses it. I don't want to partner with someone who uses stimulants." Gu Sanjing said.
"Don't worry about that," Pei Yunxia said seriously, "I know someone on our team is using stimulants, but I don't have any evidence. I will find a way to find evidence as soon as possible and then impose a punishment."
Gu Sanjing felt relieved after hearing her say this.
Pei Yunxia patted her shoulder and said, "Just focus on your training. I will create a good environment for our team."
"Thank you!" Gu Sanjing said seriously.
Their diving team was truly lucky to have Pei Yunxia, a responsible head coach who completely cared about the team members. In fact, in other teams, there were coaches who were brutal during training, and some even withheld bonuses.
Back in the dormitory, Zuo Mingyan was about to go to the training ground. Seeing Gu Sanjing coming back, she waited for her to go together. Gu Sanjing took out the training clothes from the cabinet, and the two walked towards the training ground.
Zuo Mingyan was not in very good shape. Although she performed normally in the last routine test, she did not achieve the expected results because two people in the team performed "exceedingly well".
Moreover, some people spread the news privately, saying that Gu Sanjing is likely to change his partner.
"Sanjing, do you think that thing really works?" Zuo Mingyan asked.
The thing she was talking about was a stimulant.
Gu Sanjing answered without thinking: "If you dare to use it, I won't partner with you."
"I don't need it, I just don't want to." Zuo Mingyan said.
Gu Sanjing held her hand and whispered about her visit to Pei Yunxia. Then she said, "Even if Coach Pei can't solve it, we can't use it. That thing has a great impact on the body. We can't ruin our bodies just for a championship."
Zuo Mingyan nodded. "I know. Being an athlete is only a very short phase in our lives. We still have a long life ahead of us after retirement."
"That's right." Gu Sanjing said.
Over here, in the national team's conference room, the coaches were holding a meeting. When the meeting ended and everyone was about to leave, Pei Yunxia stood up and said, "I want to discuss something with everyone."
Everyone sat back down, and Director Yao Zhixin looked at Pei Yunxia and asked, "What do you want to discuss?"
Pei Yunxia glanced at the coaches and said, "Let's discuss how to ban stimulants!"
This silenced the meeting room for a while. Seeing that no one spoke, Pei Yunxia continued, "I know some people here think that doping is harmless as long as they get good grades. But what if it's detected? What if someone finds out? An entire country would be in jeopardy."
There was another moment of silence, and then Yao Zhixin said, "Yunxia, come to my office later and we'll discuss this in detail."
Everyone began to leave the conference room one after another. A coach who had a good relationship with Pei Yunxia said, "It's useless for us to talk about this. We need to take firm action from above."
"I know, but we can't help but tell it. How will the higher-ups know if we don't tell them?" Pei Yunxia said.
The coach patted her shoulder and said, "I support you."
Pei Yunxia smiled at him and went into Director Yao Zhixin's office. After sitting down, Yao Zhixin asked, "Is there anyone in your team who needs it?"
"Yes," Pei Yunxia said, "I will catch them as soon as possible and ban them for two years."
Yao Zhixin lowered his head and took a sip of tea. "We can't be too hasty in doing things. We have to take it slow."
Pei Yunxia despised Yao Zhixin's willingness to smooth things over. She said, "Director Yao, at the meeting earlier this year, you said we were preparing to bid for the Olympics. We haven't even come up with a doping ban yet, so how can we possibly bid? If we're found to have athletes doping at this year's Olympics, you know how much of a dent it would have on our bid."
Yao Zhixin's grip on the water glass tightened. Pei Yunxia gave him another dose of strong medicine, "Director Yao, if you want to move up, you must show your political achievements. Your political achievements are not just about your performance in competitions."
She stood up and said, "I don't care what happens to other teams. Our diving team will definitely be banned. If anyone is found guilty, they will be banned for two years."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left. Yao Zhixin stood there for a long time, frowning. He was trying to decide whether to pursue achievements or to make political contributions in other ways.
