While the fans in the group were still confused, Su Zhe had already quickly logged into the athlete registration information platform of Province S from his mobile phone, logged into his registered athlete account, and then took a screenshot in the background.
Su Zhe solemnly posted a Weibo post along with a screenshot of the account and Su Yinsheng's Baidu Encyclopedia.
【Chasing speed was my dream when I was young. In the process of chasing my dream, I once strayed from the track, but I have no regrets about the two years of learning and hard work. Two years have allowed me to know a different world, and also let you know me. I am eager to stand at the top of the shining with my own strength. In the days to come, I will work hard as an athlete with my coach to strive for excellent results on the field. If possible, please support athlete Su Zhe next. 】
After thinking about it, Su Zhe contacted Weibo's customer service again, preparing to change his certification to a former member of the third boy band and an active athlete.
The serious Weibo post happened to be released at the peak time when the crowd was watching the gossip, and the shocked crowd quickly responded with tens of thousands of replies.
[What the hell?! Athletes??? Am I seeing this right???]
[…I checked and found that this account does exist and is a registered athlete who rose through the ranks from a youth athlete.]
[Oh my god, isn't the person who made the speech the real person of a famous emoticon? ]
[Hey, I feel like I'm going to drop the melon. So this is a story about an athlete who participated in an idol audition show, became a member of a boy band, and after being an idol for two years, he retired from the circle and continued his sports career? ]
[A boy band idol transforms into a professional athlete, what kind of magical plot is this...? ]
The reposted comments were filled with people being shocked, and of course, there were also some discordant voices.
[Fu Liao, that sounds nice, but isn't it because you were such a nerd that you went back to being an athlete? ]
[When he tried to scam the top players in the entertainment industry, he failed. Now he wants to scam the top players in the sports industry? 】
[There are so many athletes in the country, many of whom have achieved great results. Why support this guy who can't make it in the entertainment industry? ]
[Idol-turned-athlete? How can you achieve good results without training for more than two years? Isn't this a reverse attempt to gain attention and exposure? 】
There aren’t many harsh comments, but there are definitely quite a few. Some are from fans of other boy band idols, while others are just bystanders who are just watching the show.
In most people's minds, the sports circle and the identity of athletes are both sacred. Competitive sports require hard training, constant hard work and outstanding talent to stand at the top of the circle.
Now, suddenly there is a guy who doesn't look like an athlete at all, claiming that he wants to be a professional athlete. Of course, this has caused concerns among the public - will this kind of boy band idol from the entertainment industry bring bad influence to the sports circle when he comes to the sports circle?
Soon, all the information about Su Zhe's past competition results, his relationship with Su Yinsheng, etc. were quickly dug out by the netizens.
【Su Zhe participated in the S City Sports Meet at the age of 17, and won fourth place in the 100-meter race, and was awarded the second-level athlete qualification.】
【Only fourth place? 】
[Don't underestimate the sprint results of S City. S Province is a sprint champion in the country, and S City is the first to bear the brunt of it. This is all because of the head coach Su Zhe. Coach Su Yinsheng Su is a national-level coach. Several sprinters in the national track and field team were trained by him! ]
[Wow... Such a good coach is coaching Su Zhe? Is he very talented?]
[Looking at his performance before entering the entertainment industry, he has a lot of potential, right? But Coach Su didn't bring him in because of this. Didn't you notice that they all have the last name Su?]
Gossips on the Internet were very popular, and Su Zhe did not expect that after he retired from the entertainment industry, he would reach a new peak of popularity - and it was the kind that went viral.
In just two hours, Su Zhe witnessed the gossip power of netizens. A sharp-eyed netizen found out that the background of the selfie Su Zhe posted yesterday was the track and field training ground of the S Province Sports Team. Then another senior sports fan gossiped about his family's network of connections in the sports circle and was heartbroken in the end.
[He obviously has talent and capital, and comes from a sports family, but he actually went into the entertainment industry?! He was blinded by the glamorous world of the entertainment industry! ]
To be honest, if Su Zhe hadn't looked at the netizens' information, he would have thought that this was a roar made by his father himself.
After a round of extensive discussions, netizens probably realized that Su Zhe really plans to return to the sports circle. Regardless of his talent, future performance, and what his true intentions are, he has indeed retired from the entertainment industry.
The correct interpretation of the previous day’s “I’m back again” should be returning to the training ground, but today’s gossip… Netizens have expressed their willingness to wait and see.
Although there are still some black spots jumping around, it's no big deal.
After a brief period of confusion, the "philosophers" accepted the reality of Su Zhe's transformation into an athlete, and most of them expressed their determination to continue to be his fans.
After all, after Su Zhe's transparency that has cooled to the point of Siberia over the past year, those who can still stick with him until now are already die-hard fans with hearts of steel.
At the same time, a little fan with unique ideas made a shocking speech.
[Sisters! How long has it been since our baby had any activities? How long has it been since we had any Reuters? Think about what it means for our baby to become an athlete? He has to participate in competitions! ]
[There are so many track and field events every year. Isn't this better than before? If Zaizai performs well in the competition, sports reporters will interview him, the competition will be broadcast live, and sports reporters will take pictures...! ]
[Also, if you want to see the live action, the tickets for those sports events are cheaper and cheaper, and there are many free tickets to be claimed! Isn't this better than the third fan meeting tickets? ]
[Think about it, everyone think about it! We can see the kids wearing training clothes, showing their arms, collarbones and long legs! Ah, I can't take it anymore, my imagination has flown to heaven! ]
After seeing this series of speeches, "philosophers" rushed to tell each other and applauded. A little fan named "Azhe Baby's Xiao Mengmeng" also became a celebrity in Su Zhe's fan circle.
[We are both philosopher sisters, why do you stand out so much! ]
[Woo woo woo, sister, you said it so well. I am already looking forward to my baby's first game! Let's make the banners and light signs, and let my baby be the most eye-catching one on the sports field! ]
After a series of ups and downs in the plot, Su Zhe successfully got through this crisis.
When Su Zhe returned to the sports team, Shao Da Lao was already receiving training in the team.
Seeing that Su Zheshan was late, Su Yinsheng's eyes widened and he scolded him: "The big star went to take pictures with you, and he has been training for an hour. What about you? You are late for a whole hour! Do you still remember that you are an athlete now?!"
Under Su Yinsheng's instruction, Su Zhe did not explain anything and just lowered his head and listened obediently.
In the sports team, the head coach's words are absolute authority and cannot be challenged. Even if Su Zhe and Su Yinsheng are not respectful in private, he must respect his father's authority on the training ground.
After lecturing for a full 10 minutes, Su Yinsheng glared at Su Zhe and drove him to the locker room to change into training clothes.
"Hurry up, come out and warm up. Today, we'll test your 100-meter speed on the track outside."
When Su Zhe came out of the locker room, Su Yinsheng and Zhao Changhe were already ready. The electronic timer of the outdoor sports team had also been turned on. They were ready to see whether Su Zhe's condition was stable. What they were most worried about was that Su Zhe's performance yesterday would be a flash in the pan.
After all, although Su Zhe's physical test results were okay, he had no advantage over the athletes who had been practicing sprinting in the team for a long time. However, after two years without training, he once again ran into the performance standards of an athlete. This made Su Yinsheng and Zhao Changhe, who have been engaged in sprint coaching for a long time, still a little unsure.
While everyone was getting ready, many crew members who were preparing in the sports team also turned their attention here.
Many people did not see Su Zhe's trial run yesterday, but today they heard a lot of gossip about him online. At this moment, everyone wants to know whether Su Zhe really has athletic talent or has just retired to the sports circle to make a living.
When Su Zhe was warming up, someone secretly took a short video. It was not someone else, but the staff in the crew who was responsible for publicity. These contents will be used as materials for future promotions of the series.
By the time Su Zhe was ready on the starting blocks of the 100-meter race, quite a few people had already gathered in the stands around the training ground, including Shao Xingchen and Li Cheng.
People were discussing what kind of results Su Zhe could achieve.
"Bang!"
With the sound of a gunshot, Su Zhe quickly jumped out from the starting blocks and rushed forward like lightning in an instant.
The slender figure in a red training suit passed by everyone like a ball of fire. Everyone subconsciously held their breath, and occasionally someone uttered an "oh" with surprise.
"Oh my god, this is too fast... Is this the speed of a professional athlete?"
Someone in the stands exclaimed.
And the people around him couldn't help but agree with this statement in their hearts.
Su Zhe's speed was like a whirlwind. Everyone felt that if he passed by them at this moment, the wind he brought would definitely lift the corners of their clothes.
Just over ten seconds passed in a flash.
When everyone realized that Su Zhe had reached the finish line, they subconsciously looked at the slightly crude electronic timer at the finish line.
"How much? How many seconds did he run?"
"Huh? 10.35 seconds? Does anyone know how this result compares? I remember that the 100-meter records were all in the 9-plus seconds. Isn't this result a bit ordinary?"
Some people who had specially trained for track and field competitions for the photo shoot shook their heads.
"Please don't, Su Zhe's result is very good! My God, this result has already reached the standard of a national athlete. If this speed is a little faster, he will be an international athlete!"
"Wow, that sounds impressive?"
"Of course! A score of 10.30 is enough to get him into the finals in the Asian competition! And he just came back. It seems he hasn't started training yet, right?"
Hearing what this person said, the crew members around him were shocked, and Shao Xingchen's eyes also flashed.
Li Cheng exclaimed with emotion: "I didn't expect Su Zhe to be so amazing. The past two years in the entertainment industry were really a bit of a waste. Hey, Xingchen, this movie Chasing the Light, with Su Zhe in it, who knows, it might even be advertised in the future. A certain short-distance running champion of a certain track and field competition will be starring in it... Oh, that will definitely be a hit!"
The crew members were chatting animatedly here, and the people from the sports team were even more noisy.
"Hey, what did I see? Ah Zhe, your score was 10.35?!"
Only those who really practice sports know the significance of this achievement.
The domestic athlete level performance standard is 10.50. Of course, it does not mean that you can apply to be an athlete if you can run into this score on a regular basis. You must also achieve certain results in competitions that meet the standards. But running into this standard line means that you have the strength of an athlete level.
What’s more, Su Zhe ran a time of 10.35 today? !
The track and field fans in the crew were right. This result is a medal-winning result in the Asian-level sprint events. If yesterday's hand-timed 10.43 was not accurate enough, today's electronic timing made it clear to everyone on the track and field team.
Moreover, in just one day, Su Zhe's score jumped from 10.43 yesterday to 10.35? !
Even if there is an error in the manual timing, today's result is better than yesterday, and don't forget, he hasn't started formal training yet!
All the members of the track and field team looked at Su Zhe as if he were a god.
Su Yinsheng and Zhao Changhe looked at each other, and then quickly made up their minds to let Su Zhe go to the Provincial Games to try it out next month.
Seeing Su Yinsheng's eyes, Zhao Changhe naturally understood what he meant, but at this time, when he saw Su Zhe's improved performance, he couldn't help but touch his chin.
"Hey, Lao Su, with A-Zhe's grades, wouldn't it be a bit of a bully if you let him go to the provincial games?"
Su Yinsheng rolled his eyes when he heard this: "In competitive sports, you have to rely on your strength. Who are you bullying? Besides, Su Zhe's grades seem to be stable now, but who knows what his mental state will be like during the competition? The provincial games are just a chance for him to test his courage."
As he was talking, Su Zhe suddenly heard a reminder sound. He looked into the system and found that the target task had changed from "participating in an official competition" to "participating in the track and field sprint event of the S Province Provincial Games and winning the championship."
