It was not until the day before the departure that Su Zhe found out that the Kuangbiao Group had sponsored the national track and field team's uniforms again. Although the uniforms were still in the traditional red, white and yellow color scheme of the national team, no one knew how many brain cells their genius designers had spent on them. The final patchwork sportswear actually looked quite fashionable. The designer must have tried his best.

When the track and field team arrived at the airport in their national team uniforms, sports channels, various sports self-media, and reporters from major newspapers had been waiting for a long time. The most outrageous thing was that there was even a Pear public account that usually only published entertainment news among them.

Zhuo Siming is an intern reporter for Pili Public Account. As a new reporter, he naturally does not have much presence in Pili Public Account, a news agency known as the king of gossip.

He was usually assigned to do all kinds of hard and tiring work, such as surveillance at the door of a building for more than ten hours. During this period, only he and another young girl who was also an intern reporter took turns on duty. Both of them were tired, hungry and in a hurry, but they still dared not miss a glance for fear of missing the target of surveillance.

Or, like today, because of a groundless news, he and another intern photographer Wei Guan were packed up and thrown into the huge B City Airport, leaving them here to wait for the top news.

Needless to say, this news is obviously fake. There are only a few people who can be considered top stars in the current entertainment industry, including Shao Xingchen, Qiu Zhenhao, Wei Zinuo, Lu Fan, Huo Yi... If you count carefully, you can count them on one hand.

How many people are watching over the itinerary of these five people?

Even though he was just an intern reporter, Zhuo Siming could recite their itineraries for the next month by heart. Which of them mentioned that they would be leaving from City B Airport today?

None!

Moreover, the airport in City B is so huge, and we don't know whether the flight the other party will take is domestic or international, and we don't know which gate the other party will leave from... and they just sent these two people. Can they really get the news by chance?

It was obvious that the other bigwigs in the news agency had no interest in this fake news and just assigned it to these young interns.

To put it in a positive way, it's giving them some experience. Who knows, they might come across some small news. It's better than nothing, right?

Zhuo Siming is a smart man. After taking Wei Guan around the airport, he saw that there was not even a familiar scalper selling itineraries, so he knew that there was basically no hope of going to City B Airport today.

It was also while wandering around the airport that Zhuo Siming spotted a group of sports reporters visiting the national track and field team.

Wei Guan, an intern photographer who came to the airport with Zhuo Siming, is a sports enthusiast. He has recently watched a lot of live broadcasts about the track and field team and the "Let's Get Fit" series of videos on Weibo.

Seeing these sports reporters at this moment, Wei Guan suddenly remembered what day it was today - the day when the national track and field team set out for the World Championships in Country D.

This matter originally had nothing to do with the entertainment industry, but this time it was different! Among the members of the national team going to country D this time, one of them was from the entertainment industry!

The former member of a boy band idol has been on the trending searches several times in recent months!

Wei Guan immediately shared this idea with Zhuo Siming.

Zhuo Siming hesitated: "Is this possible? We, an entertainment gossip media, go to interview the national track and field team?" Just by saying this, Zhuo Siming had an illusion of absurd reality.

"What's wrong with that? The former member of an idol boy band, the first supporting actor in the drama "Chasing Light" directed by Liu Zhengyan, is actually an active member of the national track and field team, representing the national team in the D country track and field world championships! If that doesn't work, do you still remember the emoticons that were created after Su Zhe tried to scam Shao Xingchen? Here's a set of comparison pictures of the real person and the emoticons, and then a wave of real airport pictures - shocking, the original body of the popular emoticon actually looks like this!"

Zhuo Siming was moved when he heard Wei Guan's words.

As for Su Zhe, before he retired from the entertainment industry, he was so transparent that even gossip reporters like him had no impression of him. However, after retiring, he was on the hot searches several times, and his co-starring in "Chasing the Light" with Shao Xingchen also attracted a certain amount of attention. It seems that Shao Xingchen and he have a good personal relationship.

As far as today's trip to the airport is concerned, he is indeed a good interview subject...but he immediately remembered the incident that had gone viral a few days ago - the members of the third were jealous of Su Zhe, so they hired a water army studio to slander him all the way, but were suppressed by the official media and were charged with defaming national athletes. Now they have been hidden by the company.

Wei Guan tried to persuade him, "We are not trying to make any big news. We certainly cannot afford to blackmail the national team members. It's okay to find some positive news, right? Our report has a unique angle, who knows, maybe we will be selected."

As an intern reporter, the most important thing is to work hard to get your articles published, earn royalties and stay employed.

The relationship between sports journalists and athletes has always been good. The track and field team is of course happy to give face to the media and provide journalists with certain materials to promote their own projects and increase public attention to the projects.

Zheng Wensheng, director of the competition department of the Athletics Administration Center, as the team leader, naturally gave priority to accepting interviews from sports reporters.

Zhuo Siming and Wei Guan followed these sports reporters and recorded some news materials - since they were going to write about the national track and field team's departure, these materials were of course indispensable.

But in the limited free interview time that followed, the two of them stole the show.

When Zhuo Siming handed the recorder to Su Zhe, he habitually asked from the perspective of the entertainment industry: "Su Zhe, your popularity has recovered and you are frequently on trending searches. Have you ever considered returning to the entertainment industry?"

As soon as this question was asked, all the sports reporters at the scene turned around in shock. The national team members who were traveling with Su Zhe also looked at the young reporter in surprise. Su Yinsheng, who was also on the team, suddenly widened his eyes after hearing this question, and he almost wanted to destroy the young reporter on the spot.

Even Zhuo Siming's companion Wei Guan did not expect that reporter Xiao Zhuo would ask such a powerful question right out of the gate...

Wei Guan opened his mouth, wanting to ask Zhuo Siming what he was thinking. On the day when he was playing for the national team, he asked an athlete who obviously had a bright future whether he wanted to return to the entertainment industry?

The leader of the Athletics Management Center just finished an interview, right? ...

When everyone around him froze for a moment, Su Zhe was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied, "No."

Zhuo Siming seemed not to notice the gazes from everyone around him and continued to ask, "Why didn't you consider returning to the entertainment industry?"

Su Zhe didn't mind the persistent reporter and continued with a smile, "I like running. I may not have seen it clearly in the past, but now I don't want to stop for the time being."

Due to Zhuo Siming's explosive questions in this short free interview, other reporters who came later simply switched to filming the interaction between Zhuo Siming and Su Zhe, and the interview time of other media was shortened a lot.

It is predictable that this wave of reporters will produce a series of news such as "Entertainment reporter asked Su Zhe whether he was willing to return to the entertainment industry" and "National track and field team member Su Zhe admitted in an interview that he had no intention of returning to the entertainment industry."

After watching the national team members go to check their tickets, a reporter from a sports media outlet gave Zhuo Siming a thumbs up, probably praising him for his courage.

After the reporters dispersed and hurriedly wrote their articles, Wei Guan couldn't help but say, "Zhuo Siming... your question is very straightforward..."

Compared to his companions' surprise, Zhuo Siming was very calm: "You were right at first. Our reports must have unique angles so that the editor-in-chief will not want to let go of our manuscripts when selecting them. To achieve this, I can't ask some unrelated and ordinary questions."

Zhuo Siming's words made Wei Guan stunned, and his eyes suddenly changed when he looked at the young reporter Zhuo wearing black-framed glasses.

I never expected that this skinny and inconspicuous reporter could be such a smart guy.

He was brave enough to think of this question immediately, and he was brave enough to ask this question when the national team was on the scene.

Thinking of this, Wei Guan couldn't help but feel that this little reporter, who was currently just an intern like him, might become a formidable and ruthless person in the future.

In order to prevent the long journey from affecting the athletes' competitive condition, the Athletics Administration Center chose direct flights from Country D Airlines when booking tickets for the national team members.

After a 9-hour journey, we arrived at our destination smoothly at 4 p.m. D country time.

As a wealthy and sports-loving West Asian country, Country D is keen on hosting various sporting events. Before this year's World Athletics Championships, Country D has already hosted the Asian Championships, Asian Games, Asian Cup and other events, and even relied on its own strong capital to obtain the right to host the World Cup.

Out of its love for sports, Country D is extremely attentive in its reception of athletes from various countries.

One year before the opening of the World Championships, Country D had already renovated the Asian Games Village built during the Asian Games in order to provide the best living environment for athletes from all countries.

Before the national team officially arrived for the World Championships, the Athletics Administration Center had already dispatched a medical team to Building 8 of the Asian Games Village where the Chinese team was staying. Various rehabilitation equipment was also delivered to the Asian Games Village in Country D through transportation channels in advance, so as to provide the best logistical support for the athletes in Country D.

From the moment the plane landed, the reception staff of Country D warmly welcomed the members of the Chinese team to the luxury bus that had been waiting nearby, and took the athletes from the most famous Flower Sea Avenue in the capital of Country D all the way to the Asian Games Village where the athletes would be staying.

Sitting on the luxury bus, Su Zhe, after seeing the beautiful scenery outside the window, finally took out his mobile phone and tapped the flower sea avenue for more than ten times. Then, taking advantage of the free time on the bus, he picked and chose and made a post on Weibo after a long absence.

During the closed training period before this, because every day was packed with training time, there had been no commercial selfies or casual photos on Su Zhe's Weibo for a long time.

[Good morning everyone, I'm getting ready to go to training. ]

【Good night everyone, my training is over. 】

These two sentences appeared frequently on Su Zhe's Weibo in the past month. In the end, many "philosopher" girls simply started to check in on getting up and saying goodnight under Su Zhe's daily greetings.

Seeing their idol refresh the commercial selfies and casual photos, the "philosophers" below did not come up to lick the screen first, but laughed under Su Zhe's Weibo, congratulating him on becoming a trending topic again.

Immediately afterwards, a photo full of news scenes was pushed to the top of the comments - in the picture, the young entertainment reporter was holding a recorder and asking him questions. He looked a little surprised, and the journalists around him were all looking in the direction of the young entertainment reporter in shock. Behind him, his father Su Yinsheng was staring, and it was obvious that he was furious.

Along with the photo being pushed up, there was also a comment.

[It's amazing. The guy who took this photo is truly an artist. The news sense and the impact of the picture are both there. The picture frozen in this moment can be written into an 800-word essay. He is truly a talent! ]

The person who took this photo was naturally Wei Guan, the intern photographer who worked with Zhuo Siming.

Photography and videography are the skills that Wei Guan relies on for survival, and he has always been proud of them. But even so, when he reviewed the news photos, he was still shocked by his extraordinary performance this time.

[He chose the road to becoming the king, and there is no entertainment industry on this road - After being defeated in the entertainment industry, Su Zhe fought back all the way from a newcomer in the sports circle to a member of the national team. Can his miracle continue? ], this report and a set of photos taken by Wei Guan were sent back to the editorial team of the Pear Public Account, and two deputy editors-in-chief argued about it.

One of them thought that the approach of this report was unique enough to attract the attention of a wide audience, and it would be no problem for a single article to get 100,000+ reads or even become a hit.

Another person believed that Su Zhe had nothing to do with the entertainment industry now and there was no point in reporting news about him.

Finally, this controversial article was sent to the editor-in-chief, and then quickly passed the editor-in-chief's screening and was ranked on the front page of the most well-known Pear Star Gossip in the Pear Public Account Matrix. The cover was a splicing of a live photo of Su Zhe wearing the national team uniform and a black photo of him that had been made into an emoticon package.

It should be said that the editor-in-chief of Pi Li is worthy of the title of editor-in-chief. His sharp vision and decisive choices are worthy of praise.

This gossip push quickly reached over 200,000 readings within just one hour after it was released, and the number is still rising.

Many pure spectators may have some impression of the "Lose Weight" series of short videos during this period, and are aware of the popularity of the World Championships, but more people are not clear about the ins and outs of how Su Zhe became an athlete and achieved his current achievements.

Zhuo Siming's article gave a concise summary of Su Zhe's two-year journey in the entertainment industry, and concluded with the comment that he once had the potential to soar to the top of the entertainment industry, but in the end he just became an ordinary victim in an entertainment company.

Afterwards, Zhuo Siming spent a lot of time and effort summarizing Su Zhe's achievements since he entered the sports circle, and gave a more intuitive description of Su Zhe's current achievements in the sports circle.

[The only athlete in the national track and field team who has qualified for the men's 100-meter sprint at the D-country track and field world championships (a world-class top track and field event); the only athlete in the history of national track and field who has qualified for both the men's 100-meter sprint and the 110-meter hurdles; replaced national treasure athlete Chen Zhi and supported the relay team of the national track and field team, becoming a core member of the team.]

What's more, Zhuo Siming also made a separate table of Su Zhe's achievements, and listed "the list of athletes in the country who have run under 10.10 so far", "the personal PB ranking of active athletes in the 110-meter hurdles", etc.

The level of professionalism was so high that even the sports reporters present at the airport today could not find any fault with it.

The rapid popularity of this article, in addition to the interesting fact that Su Zhe crossed over from the entertainment circle to the sports circle, was more due to the shocking feeling that Su Zhe's achievements listed in this news brought to the spectators.

[I feel like I have become a useless person who can only say "I feel like I am lying"...]

[The emoticon itself is so awesome? I was wrong... I am simply not worthy of using his emoticons...]

【??? So the negative news was actually a scam by the company??? I have an impression of this Saonian. I first watched IG and I just thought he was really good-looking. But later, I got tired of the marketing and stopped paying attention to him...】

[Although I knew he had crossed over to the sports circle before...but I didn't expect him to be so awesome...]

[Aaaah! I recently watched that little video of “Let’s Get Fit” and have been secretly licking his looks for a long time, but it turns out that he is the original version of that emoticon that I have always used to mock people? ? ? It feels like my worldview has collapsed for a moment QAQ]

Not only were the entertainment industry's spectators blown away by the article and began discussing Su Zhe heatedly, but the straight men in the sports industry also read the article and realized what Su Zhe had done during his two years in the entertainment industry.

Zhuo Siming, the intern reporter of Pear Public Account, became famous overnight. Even the sports reporters at the airport on the same day were impressed by him. After reading his articles, they found that the content of his articles was not scathing and they were quite fond of him.

Many sports celebrities reprinted this article. The sentence "He chose the path of kingship, and there is no entertainment industry on this path" and the only two questions that Su Zhe answered directly in the interview became the focus of everyone's discussion.

【Su Zhe's road to becoming a king is just beginning. 】

This argument has become everyone's firm expectation, and it has also attracted more people's attention to the upcoming Country D Athletics World Championships.

How far can he go on his road to victory in this grand event?

The national track and field team did not arrange training for the athletes on the day they arrived in Country D. However, everyone had their own training habits, and most of the team members chose to complete their simple training and then go to bed to rest and adjust to the jet lag.

Su Zhe has been in high-intensity training recently. Even after a tiring day of traveling, his body is still clamoring to move around.

So, after a short rest, as the sun set and the scorching heat that kept people from going out gradually subsided, Su Zhe began to run around the Asian Games Village to complete his daily 10-kilometer task.

It is now less than a week before the game, and in addition to the Chinese team, many teams from various countries have already arrived in advance.

While Su Zhe was running in circles, he would occasionally see a few athletes from other countries also running in circles. In most cases, everyone just smiled at each other and then continued running on their own.

But as the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds in the forest. Among the athletes, there are strong ones who are full of positive energy, but of course there are also some bad ones, some of whom have an inexplicable sense of superiority over athletes from other countries.

When Su Zhe ran past a cluster of flowers, a black athlete who was also passing by sneered at Su Zhe.

"Hey, you little weakling, are you really an athlete in this world championship? The way you run looks just like a little girl."

Su Zhe frowned at the insulting words. On his right, the black athlete did not leave but continued to mock him, "Hey, you weakling. Are you from China? Your athlete Chen is injured. Is there anyone else who can participate in the 100-meter race?"

The harsh mocking voice finally made Su Zhe stop and look directly at the guy wearing the jersey of the Garin national team.

"I think you should have learned the mutual respect between athletes."

The black athlete showed an even stronger mocking expression on his face: "Respect? I only respect opponents who are stronger than me. I don't respect a weakling like you. I heard that there is an athlete named Su from your country participating in this competition? Go back and tell him that Balman from Garin, Andrew's good brother, will crush his self-esteem on the 100-meter track."

Andrew's good brother?

After the black man Balman said Andrew's name, Su Zhe finally understood why this guy would inexplicably fire such a garbage map cannon.

Andrew was suppressed by him in the last Asian Championships, and finally ran a score of 10.13 seconds, missing the World Championships. As the host athlete of Country D, this may be enough to be called a shame.

Then it seems that Balman and Andrew must have been good friends from the same country.

"Hey, did you hear me? Tell Su in your team what I said! I will let him know what real speed is!" The black man named Barman obviously had no patience.

At his urging, Su Zhe smiled with interest: "Okay, then let's meet on the track." After a pause, he added: "I am the Su you are talking about."

Under Balman's astonished gaze, Su Zhe turned around and continued to devote himself to the unfinished 10-kilometer mission, not paying attention to the sneers coming from behind.

There are only 5 days left before you can compete with the best players from all over the world in this world's top arena!

Thinking of this, Su Zhe felt that the blood in his body had begun to boil.

As everyone was looking forward to, on October 2, the D Country Athletics World Championships kicked off as scheduled.
