The center's director, Sun Zhihai, wore glasses and looked at the PPT presentation on the projector. He listened attentively to the department staff introducing the various data that had been summarized and sorted out.

"As of August 11, this season, six men's 100m runners, including Wang Qin, Qiu Xinchu, Zhao Zhixuan, Meng Hao, Chen Zhi and Su Zhe, have run under 10.20 seconds. Among them, three young runners, Wang Qin, Qiu Xinchu and Su Zhe, have broken their personal bests."

After a pause, the staff continued the introduction.

"So far this season, apart from Chen Zhi who won the silver medal in the Asian Championships with a time of 10.10, Su Zhe, who just returned to the S Province Sports Team this year, can be considered the candidate with the most potential to break the 10.10 mark. Secondly, Meng Hao's personal PB is 10.16, and Zhao Zhixuan's personal PB is 10.15. Both of them have the potential to break the 10.10 mark. Wang Qin and Qiu Xinchu refreshed their personal PBs of 10.18 and 10.19 respectively, but their personal results fluctuate greatly. They failed to continue to achieve excellent results in this National Championships, and I am afraid they still have some distance to go before they can break the 10.10 mark."

Sun Zhihai nodded as he listened, and at the same time, he kept recording the information he was interested in on the notebook in his hand. When he wrote Su Zhe's grades, he touched Su Zhe's name with the tip of the pen and turned to Chen Guangping and said, "This Su Zhe... is Su Yinsheng's son?"

Chen Guangping, who was standing next to him, nodded quickly. He and Su Yinsheng had been friends for many years, and it was he who called Su Yinsheng last time to tell him that Su Zhe must sign up for the 100-meter event at the World Championships Challenge. He also knew more about Su Zhe's situation.

"Yes, it's Su Yinsheng's son, the boy who caused a little trouble before." Chen Guangping said with a smile: "Old Su complained to us a lot at the beginning, saying that his son had a good talent for sprinting, but he was not kept under control and actually ran off to mix in the entertainment industry. Look, now that he has returned, his performance is more than good."

Sun Zhihai smiled and nodded when he heard this, and asked the staff, "Do you have all the data about Su Zhe's current competitions?"

"some."

After hearing the instructions, the staff responsible for explaining the PPT immediately retrieved Su Zhe's personal comprehensive data from the document, which included all his performance in competitions from the S Province Games to the National Championships qualifiers and the National Championships.

In addition, the staff also collected a draft of Su Zhe's daily training plan from the S Province Sports Team, which recorded the ups and downs of Su Zhe's performance in daily training.

After reading all the data, Sun Zhihai couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Incredible, in just over two months, the results have been steadily improving. How can the stability be so good?"

The PPT showed Su Zhe's daily training curve chart, which has been rising since June, with his performance rarely fluctuating to a low point. In Sun Zhihai's view, this amazing stability represents extraordinary significance.

First of all, if such an athlete with amazing stability can open a new performance stage, he will most likely continue to create excellent results that only fluctuate in a small range. This is enough to make people feel at ease to give him important tasks. Just like Chen Zhi, the current top sprinter in China, is a reassurance for the men's 100m event.

Secondly, why are the results so stable? This may indicate that Su Zhe's potential is far beyond the present, so his performance in the competition is far from reaching his limit.

Thinking of this possibility, Sun Zhihai couldn't help but tap the table with his pen in his hand: "Xiao Lin, your note here says that he ran 10.11 seconds in the 100m final of the National Championships yesterday despite his injury?"

Staff member Lin nodded and confirmed, "Yes, Su Zhe accidentally hit the hurdle with his right foot during the 110-meter hurdles preliminaries yesterday morning. He was diagnosed with contusion and swelling. He sprayed medicine on the field in the afternoon."

"Oh, 110-meter hurdles preliminaries?" Sun Zhihai was stunned: "How come you started with the 100-meter and also took part in the 110-meter hurdles?"

As the director of the Track and Field Management Center, Sun Zhihai certainly knows how big the technical gap is between the 110-meter hurdles and the 100-meter hurdles. Can Su Zhe run both the 100-meter and 110-meter hurdles well?

Thinking of this, Sun Zhihai immediately asked the staff to pull out Su Zhe's 110-meter hurdles results.

Among the people present, Chen Guangping, who was considered to have the best relationship with Su Yinsheng, could not help but sigh after seeing Su Zhe's 110-meter hurdles result: "Old Su is so unfair! He only said that his son trained for the 100-meter event, but he also ran the 110-meter event in under 14 seconds?"

The latest data about Su Zhe's 110-meter hurdles on the PPT was 13.98 seconds from yesterday's national championships 110-meter hurdles preliminaries. But even so, it has already excited the sports workers present.

You know, there is a serious talent gap in the 110-meter hurdles this year. Ye Jun is already one of the top players in the 110-meter hurdles in the country, and then there is Zhou Tianjue who is still being trained by Lu Fei.

If we take a comprehensive look, the number of athletes who can run under 14 seconds in the country can be counted on one hand. In some domestic 110-meter hurdles events, if Ye Jun and others do not participate, athletes who can run over 14 seconds often win the championship.

Under such circumstances, a new athlete who could run under 14 seconds suddenly emerged. How could the people present not be happy?

The staff member confirmed: "Not only that, just before the meeting started, the 110-meter hurdles competition of the National Championships had already ended. Zhou Tianjue, Ye Jun, and Su Zhe ranked first, second, and third, and all three ran under 13.50 seconds, with Zhou Tianjue 13.47 seconds, Ye Jun 13.49 seconds, and Su Zhe 13.50 seconds."

Among the top three, Zhou Tianjue and Ye Jun have long been on the Athletics Center's key observation list, especially Ye Jun, who ran 13.37 seconds in the Asian Championships this year, which is very close to the Tokyo Olympic Games standard of 13.32 seconds. He is also the 110-meter hurdles athlete that the Athletics Center is currently focusing on.

After seeing Su Zhe's results in the 100-meter and 110-meter hurdles, everyone present couldn't help but start discussing Su Zhe.

Sun Zhihai asked the first question: "I suggest that, first of all, in the men's 100m event, Su Zhe should be listed as a key observation athlete, and then he can be appropriately arranged to join the national team training. If necessary, Su Yinsheng can be dispatched to form a coaching team to make more scientific and reasonable plans for Su Zhe in the 100m event. At the same time, call the S Provincial Sports Team to promptly integrate and report Su Zhe's training situation and latest results."

This proposal was naturally passed unanimously, but different opinions emerged on the issue of listing Su Zhe as a key athlete to be observed in the 110-meter hurdles.

"I'm not saying that Su Zhe's performance is bad, but there is no precedent for listing an athlete as a key observation athlete for both the 100m and 110m hurdles events." Zheng Wensheng frowned and said, "If it's just 400m and 200m, or long jump and triple jump, then I will definitely agree without hesitation. I'm just worried, can Su Zhe's body withstand training for both the 110m hurdles and the 100m? Will the training for the two different events affect each other and reduce the athlete's own training effect?"

Indeed, it is too rare to compete in both the 110m hurdles and the 100m. There is no coach in China who has done in-depth research on the combined training of these two events. If different coaches are hired to train in the two events, whether the training effects of each will affect each other is indeed a very important issue.

Discussions are going on heatedly in the conference room of the Athletics Management Center, and discussions on the Internet about whether Su Zhe can continue to participate in the 110-meter hurdles project are also in full swing.

Ever since the live broadcast of the post-match interview of the National Championships, the track and field community has been in an uproar. Many people who watched the live broadcast immediately went to the live broadcast website of the sports channel and dug out the video link of the post-match interview, which was then posted on the track and field kingdom forum.

The title of the post is still very shocking - "Su Zhe may no longer be able to participate in the 110-meter hurdles competition!!!"

As soon as this post came out, many forum users who didn’t have the chance to watch the game were instantly excited.

1L: [Low down, low down, no time to watch the video, what does this mean? ? ? Zhe Shao will not run the 110-meter hurdles anymore?! ]

3L: [Don’t mention it. Mengxi asked Zhe Shao if he would continue to participate in the 110m hurdles in the future. Zhe Shao replied that he would go back and see if Su Lao Hu agreed… Of course, he definitely didn’t say that, but going back and asking Su Lao Hu… How could this have any good results???]

The next few discussion floors were filled with gloom. As a well-known domestic sprint coach, Su Yinsheng's bad temper was well known in the track and field circle. There was once a saying circulating in the track and field circle: When a tiger smiles, your scalp will scare you off.

How could such a bad-tempered and stubborn guy agree to let his son divide his attention and participate in training and competitions in two events at the same time?

Thinking of this, all track and field fans felt bald.

22L: [No... I mean, aren't you all a little too pessimistic? After all, Zhe Shao's 110-meter hurdles performance is obvious to all. Even if Su Lao Hu originally didn't intend to let him practice the 110-meter hurdles, it's unlikely that he wouldn't let him use such talent and foundation, right? ]

23L: [Hey, big brother on the 22nd floor, we are really afraid of Su. Besides, who is Su Yinsheng? He is Su Zhe's father! If your old man really wants to act like a rogue, can you do anything to him?]

26L: [Zhe Shao's 110-meter hurdles result is really good. The rhythm between the hurdles... looks like one word, awesome! Zhe Shao not only has a good rhythm, but also a fast speed. He ran under 13.50 seconds in the final with an injury. He is the new generation of king of the 110-meter hurdles... This king is still wild, and has never been properly trained by a coach! What is a genius? What is a god? ? If a god like Zhe Shao disappears from the 110-meter hurdles from now on, I will definitely go to the gate of the S Province Sports Team to wait for Su Lao Hu! ]

27L: [Brothers above, count me in as one of those who are waiting for Su Lao Hu! ! Oh, I am now hoping that the leaders of the S Province Sports Team can persuade Su Lao Hu to release the final news and conclusions as soon as possible, so that we don’t worry about it. What the hell is going on? ]

Just when the track and field fans on the forum were feeling depressed, a new push on Weibo was transported to the track and field kingdom. The person who pushed the Weibo was Lu Fei, the gold medal coach of the 110-meter hurdles, who is known as the Su of the South and the Lu of the North.

[@Su Zhe, your talent for hurdles has surpassed the limitations imposed on you by your height. Come on, I look forward to seeing your next hurdles battle.]

As soon as this push came out, there was an uproar in the athletics circle. If Su Yinsheng was labeled as the hot-tempered Su Lao Hu in the circle, then Lu Fei was known for being picky.

After his last disciple, the 110-meter hurdles champion Song Chen, retired, he was still in charge of the cross-hurdles group training of the B City Sports Team, but he picked and chose only Zhou Tianjue among his true disciples after many years of careful selection, and then trained him all the way from childhood to adulthood.

It is not easy for such a picky guy to say such words.

Many Weibo users forwarded Lu Fei's Weibo post, and the topic #请蘇哲繼继续參與110米濟項目# also gradually became more popular.

Perhaps due to the influence of the previous online public opinion incident, the official Weibo account of the S Province Sports Team has paid special attention to this kind of online public opinion since then. This time, the majority of sports fans did not have to wait too long. At around 5 pm that day, an official announcement from the sports team was pushed out.

【Thank you for your love and support for @苏哲. We are also very pleased with the talent and strength that Suzhe has shown in the men's 100-meter sprint and 110-meter hurdles. The track and field coaching team of the S Province Sports Team has held a brief meeting to discuss Suzhe's event selection. Next, the coaches of the sprint and hurdles teams will form a joint coaching team to discuss Suzhe's dual-event training plan. We must ensure that the training plan is scientific, reasonable, and effective. Please continue to support all athletes of the S Province Sports Team in the next competition! 】

This Weibo post was a reassurance to the vast majority of track and field fans.

During this period of time, Su Zhe's sudden appearance has caused track and field fans to go from initial anger to surprise, and now to care and support. In just less than two months, track and field fans have completely recognized Su Zhe's talent and tenacity.

Strength is the most powerful pass to the sports world. Su Zhe held this trump card pass and won his first batch of fans in the sports circle by crushing all opponents.

In the meeting room of the S Province Sports Team, the meeting had ended, and Su Yinsheng was rolling his eyes in annoyance.

In the afternoon, he was still in the training camp watching over the training of several promising young talents when he suddenly received a call calling him and Zhao Changhe to a conference room.

I thought it was some big deal, but it turned out to be that kid Su Zhe causing all the trouble.

After Li Mingdeng gathered Su Yinsheng, Zhao Changhe and Zhou Hongzhi together, he put in front of everyone the online petition by netizens to allow Su Zhe to continue to participate in the 110-meter hurdle project.

Zhou Hongzhi naturally had no objection to this matter. Not only was Su Zhe a child he had watched grow up, but he also had such an outstanding talent in hurdles that in this national championship, his results had already surpassed those of the athletes in training in the hurdles group.

How could Zhou Hongzhi possibly push such a player away?

In fact, Li Mingdeng also agreed with the netizens' suggestions. Before this, they had regarded Su Zhe's participation in the competition as an accident. Although they knew that he had certain strength in the hurdles, it was obvious that the strength he showed at that time was more in his main event, the men's 100-meter sprint.

What was unexpected was that he actually beat all the other athletes in the national championship preliminaries, and eventually made it all the way to the 110-meter hurdles finals of the national championships, even running an amazing time of 13.50 seconds despite an injury.

After watching the replay of Su Zhe's final match, Su Yinsheng, who was originally in high spirits, fell silent, and finally nodded in agreement to Li Mingdeng's proposal.

As a veteran sports person, Su Yinsheng naturally knew what Su Zhe's performance meant for the 110-meter hurdles. How could he really stifle Su Zhe's talent in the 110-meter hurdles?

That's impossible.

In the end, the matter was resolved happily to everyone's satisfaction.

The only one who felt a little overwhelmed was his classmate Su Zhe, who was bombarded with a series of life-threatening calls from Su Yinsheng for a full 30 minutes while he was still in City G.

It was already the afternoon of the next day when Su Zhe and his teammates returned to City S. As an injured player, it was impossible for him to return to his small apartment alone. Instead, he was sent directly back to his home by the driver of the sports team who came to pick him up at the airport.

Originally, Su Zhe thought he would face another round of "love education" from his mother, but unexpectedly, Su's mother just patted him on the shoulder, smiled gently and didn't say much. She just earnestly reminded him to rest well, otherwise it would affect the recovery of his right foot contusion.

However, perhaps he was used to the long-term tense state - from the hard training to catch up with his teammates during the third draft period to returning to the track and field team, Su Zhe has never been a person who can completely relax himself.

After staying quietly at home for half a day, Su Zhe felt a little uncomfortable and awkward facing the sudden free time.

Not to mention his time in the entertainment industry, ever since he returned to the S Province Sports Team, his daily life has almost revolved around training. Except for the short period of time he spent filming "Chasing the Light", he has become accustomed to keeping his body in an excited state at all times.

But this time, even with the system's accelerated treatment effect, I still need at least three to five days of rest.

Without training, without the 10-kilometer run every day, Su Zhehun felt uncomfortable all over after just half a day of such a quiet and leisurely life. Even with his mobile phone in hand, all he could think about were his gains and losses and shortcomings in the previous competitions.

Su Zhe's slightly anxious state was naturally noticed by his mother, but she did not immediately step forward to persuade Su Zhe. Instead, she left Su Zhe alone on the sofa in the living room, turning on the TV and holding his mobile phone. She did not care what was on TV or whether there were any new messages on his mobile phone. He just fell into deep thought from time to time.

In the evening, the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen to the living room. The hunger in his stomach woke Su Zhe up and he suddenly realized that he had been in a daze for two hours.

During these two hours, he just kept reviewing the past training and competitions in his mind, and made various speculations about the upcoming World Championships challenge. There was always a string in his mind, and he even began to be filled with anxiety.

My current state is not right!

The moment Su Zhe regained consciousness, he realized that there might be something wrong with his mental state. But looking back, it was difficult for him to find the anchor point that caused the psychological problem.

"If you have any questions, think about it after you have eaten."

Just when Su Zhe was about to fall into the state of reminiscing and thinking again, his mother Su's call woke him up in time.

Su Zhe rubbed his forehead, and with some headache, he carefully moved to the dining table, sat down and began to enjoy the home-cooked meals that his mother had carefully prepared for him.

Smelling the warm and familiar aroma of home-cooked meals and eating his favorite food, only then did Su Zhe feel his tense spirit relax a little.

Opposite Su Zhe's seat, Su's mother looked up and saw that Su Zhe, who had been sitting upright, finally relaxed a little, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

As an expert in psychology, Su Wanqin is one of the psychological consultants hired by the S Province Sports Team. Because her husband is also an athlete-turned-coach and has been closely connected with the sports community for decades, Su Wanqin naturally understands the mental health of most people in the sports community.

Ordinary people always think that people who love sports are less likely to have mental problems, or that sports can relieve and suppress some symptoms of mental illness. But in fact, according to statistics from authoritative organizations, the probability of athletes suffering from mental illness is even higher than that of the general population.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Athletes often have a strong obsession with performance. When the urgent expectation of performance and the reality of the difficulty in achieving the target performance keep conflicting, strong anxiety will also come. For athletes with excellent performance, the sense of honor, responsibility and even the guilt of failing to achieve the expected goals in the competition will exert psychological pressure on athletes.

Physical injuries can be seen and felt, but mental illnesses are often difficult to detect. When problems arise and worsen, it is more likely to make people regret it.

As Su Zhe's mother, Su Wanqin certainly understood how stubborn her son's temper was.

No matter how he entered the entertainment industry by accident, or even ran away from home, no matter how many setbacks and cold treatments he received in the entertainment industry, he still stubbornly trained.

Or maybe after he quit the entertainment industry and returned to the S Province Sports Team, he attracted a lot of attention just by participating in the Provincial Games two months ago, and now he has won the men's 100m championship in the national championships.

What kind of stubbornness and persistence is supporting him? And how much persistence has he silently endured?

Su Wanqin recalled that her husband had told her not long ago that their son, who had just run 10.18 seconds, was thinking about breaking the Olympic threshold of 10.05 seconds. It was probably because he saw Chen Zhi injured and wanted to relieve his brother of some of the burden. But he had only been back for training for such a short time...how could it be possible?

And just the day before yesterday, she watched her son in the live broadcast of the national championships with her own eyes. Even with an injured foot, he still ran a time of 10.11 seconds.

After crossing the finish line, she noticed the way he looked back at the timer, and the obvious disappointment and dissatisfaction with himself on his face.

At this moment, thinking of the words "how is it possible?", Su Wanqin couldn't help but feel sad, and felt sorry for her silly son who had unknowingly taken on so much psychological burden.

Dinner time passed quickly. After dinner, Su's mother rushed Su Zhe to the kitchen and let him lean against the sink to wash the dishes. She turned on the stereo at home and started playing soft and soothing music.

Su Zhe was washing dishes in the kitchen while looking back at the living room with amusement: "Mom, why are you suddenly enjoying life so much?"

Mother Su smiled and ignored him, and just started to tidy up the corners of the house.

Perhaps because he had work to do, and the soft music was soothing, Su Zhe didn't think much about training and competitions while washing dishes.

After washing and putting away the dishes in his hands, Su Zhe carefully moved to the living room, and was immediately caught by his mother and watched the family drama with her that was more than 100 episodes long.

Watching the trivial things in the TV series and listening to the complaints of his mother beside him, Su Zhe relaxed his body unconsciously and began to lean on the sofa, occasionally responding to a few of his mother's complaints with a smile.

When Su Yinsheng returned home, he saw a warm and harmonious scene in the living room. Although he was still very happy in his heart, when he saw the injury on Su Zhe's foot, he rolled his eyes in annoyance again.

"Dad." Su Zhe raised his eyes and saw Su Yinsheng, and greeted Su Yinsheng with a shake of his head - even when he saw Su Yinsheng at this moment, he couldn't help but think of the 30-minute long magic sound that filled his ears last night.

Su Yinsheng glanced at him, then snorted in dissatisfaction. After receiving Su's mother's dissatisfied glare, he pretended to cough and brushed off the matter.

"Well." Su Yinsheng glared at Su Zhe: "Now that you're back, give me a good rest these days."

In response to such instructions, Su Zhe naturally nodded obediently to show his obedience.

Unexpectedly, Mother Su had a different opinion.

"What do you want to rest for? Isn't it just a common contusion? After Xiaozhe came back today, I checked his injury. It's not that serious. It will heal in another three to five days." Mother Su muted the TV and said, "In the next few days, since we can't have large-scale training anyway, let Xiaozhe find some friends and go out and play."

"Um?"

Su Yinsheng was stunned for a moment at his wife's sudden instruction, then frowned, thinking of something, then frowned and nodded, "Your mother is right, listen to your mother."

This sudden instruction to relax made Su Zhe a little confused, but he still nodded seriously - it would be good to go out for a walk after the injury healed, walking would help the body recover, and maybe he could do some simple adaptive training then.

Su Zhe was thinking this in his mind when he suddenly noticed that his muted phone was vibrating. He looked at the lit screen and saw that it was Liu Zhengyan, the director of "Chasing the Light".

"Hello, Azhe?"

As soon as the call was connected, Liu Zhengyan's strong and powerful voice came from the receiver.

Su Zhe smiled and replied, "It's me, hello Director Liu."

"Hahaha, hello, hello." Liu Zhengyan's voice was full of joy: "Oh, look, I haven't had time to congratulate you yet, but you won the men's 100m championship in the National Track and Field Championships with an injury, and also won the third place in the 110m hurdles! It's amazing! By the way, Azhe, is your foot injury okay?"

Listening to the enthusiastic praise from director Liu, who was so serious on the set, Su Zhe felt a little embarrassed. He had the illusion that he was hearing the online flattery with his own ears.

"Uh, thank you Director Liu, my foot injury is not serious, it will recover in a few days..."

"As long as it's okay." Liu Zhengyan on the other end of the phone told him to take some rest, and then turned the topic to business: "It's like this, the first part of "Chasing the Light" has been cut, and soon 9 The points will be published on major platforms and will be promoted on Weibo. We are borrowing your national championship power again. I personally called you for the same reason. The publicity team hopes to borrow your victory this time. It’s a big move, I wonder if Azhetong agrees?”

Liu Zhengyan's request made Su Zhe slightly stunned, and then he smiled and said, "It's okay, use it. After all, I am also a member of the crew."

Liu Zhengyan on the other end of the phone received Su Zhe's approval and thanked him happily. He then said goodbye to Su Zhe and was busy preparing for the release of the trailer while confirming the promotional copy one last time.

At 9 o'clock that evening, the official Weibo account of the Light Chasing Theatre Company @ed Su Zhe and Shao Xingchen respectively, and the Weibo posts with the names of Lu Ming and Xie Wei appeared in front of everyone.

@邵星辰谢威 and @蘇哲路鳴, the summer is just like your youth, bright and radiant. You are friends and rivals, chasing the end of the light together, leaving the marks of your youth and life on the track. This is the best youth, and the best of you.

Released simultaneously with the Weibo post was, of course, the first trailer for "Chasing the Light".

In just a moment, the trailer for "Chasing the Light" has been simultaneously released on major platforms.

Many "satellites" and "philosophers" who had been following the official Weibo account quickly appeared under this Weibo post as soon as they saw the official Weibo account release the news, and began to lick the screen and send various praises.

At the same time, the publicity team also started to release topics. In the blink of an eye, topics related to "Chasing the Light", Su Zhe, and Shao Xingchen quickly became popular on Weibo.

Many people who happened to be watching the video also clicked on this clip immediately - this is a record of Lu Ming and Xie Wei's youth, from the first time they met to their growth together. The brilliant fireworks that Lu Ming once displayed on the court also flashed for a moment in the short 30-second clip...
