Chapter 578: Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you
After lunch, it was lunchtime. Gu Sanjing didn't go back to the dormitory to rest, but left the General Administration of Sport. She went to a phone booth, called Xia Zhengming, and told him about the national team's current situation.
Xia Zhengming was surprised at first, then he was silent for a while and said, "What are you thinking now?"
"I think Coach Pei is right to ban those who use performance-enhancing drugs for two years. Otherwise, how can we talk about fairness?"
Gu Sanjing said, "But what they said is also true. The team doesn't have any rules regarding doping bans. I think the relevant departments should formulate relevant regulations on doping. This will also benefit the development of national sports."
"Well, that's a good point." Xia Zhengming was silent for a moment before continuing, "I'll discuss this with the sports committee member, but my words alone won't do much. You should gather your team members, especially those who have won gold medals in the Olympics, and write a petition. That will be more effective."
"Okay." Gu Sanjing said.
Xia Zhengming laughed and said, "Sanjing, you did a great job. If you have any problems, tell your family."
He liked Sanjing's personality very much, she was pure and knew how to make use of resources.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Sanjing returned to the dormitory and began to work on the joint application. This was not difficult to do. Those who had won medals in the Olympics had basically never used stimulants. Everyone wanted a healthier and fairer environment in the team.
One afternoon, she talked with all the medalists on the national team, and they all agreed to a joint application. The next step was writing the application. She picked up a pen and wrote one, but after reading it, she felt very dissatisfied.
I showed it to Zuo Mingyan, and she said, "I've said everything I need to say, but it just doesn't feel powerful enough."
Gu Sanjing looked at the application in his hand helplessly, "I think so too."
"Let the great writer in your family help write it." Zuo Mingyan suggested.
These athletes started training with the team at a very young age, and although they did receive regular cultural classes, they were only there to prevent them from becoming illiterate. Not only could they not write articles, but even the coach couldn't.
Gu Sanjing thought about it and said goodbye to Pei Yunxia. She went home the next day. It was almost ten o'clock when she got home, and Gu Siqing was still asleep. She went over and pushed her, but she turned over and continued to sleep.
Gu Sanjing stood up and walked to the end of the bed, lifting a corner of the quilt, revealing a pair of white feet. She reached out and gently scratched the soles of her feet. Gu Siqing felt the itch and pulled her feet back. Gu Sanjing climbed onto the bed, holding her feet with one hand and tickling them with the other.
No matter how sleepy Gu Siqing was, all her sleepiness disappeared at this moment. She sat up and pounced on Gu Sanjing, and the two sisters started to fight.
After the commotion, Gu Siqing listened to Gu Sanjing's request while putting on her clothes, then snorted and said, "How can you beg someone like that?"
Gu Sanjing: "I'm helping you develop a good habit of getting up early."
Gu Siqing snorted again, "Tell me the details."
"Xiao Si, I knew you were the best." Gu Sanjing smiled and helped Gu Siqing squeeze the toothpaste, then handed it to her attentively and began to talk about the current situation in the team.
Gu Siqing brushed her teeth, thought for a moment and said, "I'll give it to you tomorrow."
Gu Sanjing clapped her hands happily, then said, "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow to get it. I'm back to the team now."
She ran off, and Gu Siqing said dissatisfiedly from behind: "Just brushing my teeth? That's too easy!"
Gu Sanjing turned around and said, "I'll help you wash your face tomorrow."
After saying that, she ran away with a smile. Gu Siqing hummed, washed her face, and went to the kitchen to eat.
Writing an application was a piece of cake for her. When Gu Sanjing returned home the next day, she found it on her desk. However, next to the application, there were a few big words written: "Don't disturb my sleep!"
Gu Sanjing took the application and left quietly. She returned to the team and asked the team members to sign it, including Pei Yunxia and several coaches. Then she went to Xia Zhengming's unit.
Without meeting Xia Zhengming, she handed the application to his secretary. At noon, she received a call from Xia Zhengming in the team, saying that he had handed the application to the relevant leader.
Gu Sanjing hung up the phone and told Pei Yunxia what happened. Pei Yunxia said, "Okay, you've done what you should do. Don't worry about it anymore. Just focus on training."
Gu Sanjing nodded, "I know."
After leaving Pei Yunxia's office, she returned to the training ground and trained with everyone. Her greatest strength was that she never hesitated when doing things.
She did everything she should do, and she didn't care too much about whether there would be the expected results, because there was no point in caring, so she might as well seize the time to train.
Time passed quickly, and half a month had passed in the blink of an eye. Although there were no specific regulations regarding doping, Pei Yunxia had already decided to ban players who took doping from the competition for two years.
However, this is already a very important signal. Some people in the national team began to feel restless, while others continued to train with peace of mind.
Gu Siqing appealed the case against Ling Pingying and Fan Yangbo's parents, and the court began the process. The first step was to ask Gu Siqing and Ling Pingying if they were willing to accept a settlement. Both Ling Pingying and Fan Yangbo's parents said they were willing to settle.
The condition proposed by Gu Siqing was that Ling Pingying and Fan Yangbo's parents published a statement in the newspaper to apologize to her and compensate her for her reputation loss.
"We accept it, we all accept it," Fan Yangbo's father said immediately. He was just an ordinary citizen, so an apology in the newspaper was fine. As long as the matter was over and they could return to their peaceful lives, that was enough.
As for their son's academic performance, they didn't expect him to get into university. Fan's mother had decided to retire early and let Fan Yangbo take over her job at the factory.
But Ling Pingying couldn't accept it. She looked at Gu Siqing's lawyer and said, "I accept the apology, but I don't accept a public apology in the newspaper."
"Then we can only let the judge decide in court," said the lawyer.
Ling Pingying looked at the judge and said pleadingly, "Please understand, I am also a public figure. If I apologize in the newspaper, it will have a huge impact."
"Ms. Ling," the lawyer said, "you should know the principle of not doing to others what you don't want done to you. You felt that your apology in the newspaper would have a significant impact on yourself. But when you twisted right and wrong and slandered my client in the newspaper, did you ever consider the significant negative impact it would have on her?"
Ling Pingying lowered her head and said nothing, then said: "I can pay more compensation, I will pay more compensation to Gu Siqing."
Lawyer: "Do you think my client is short of money?"
Ling Pingying: ""
The negotiation was unsuccessful. After leaving the courthouse, Ling Pingying approached Qi Xinhou and said, "If I apologize to Gu Siqing in the newspaper, who will buy my new book after it's published? Gu Siqing doesn't want to give me a chance to live."
"I suggest you publish your new book after some time." Qi Xin said kindly.
Ling Ping's handsome face was a little distorted. The reason she did those things before was to use Gu Siqing to hype up her popularity and promote her new book. She didn't expect that in the end her book would be postponed.
Moreover, her reputation has been damaged again this time, and it is unknown when she can recover.
