She's the only one
A strange atmosphere spread. Qin Chengmo didn't want to embarrass her anymore. He knew in his heart that he shouldn't be jealous, but he couldn't control himself, so he whispered:
"Go back, it seems someone is calling you."
Qu Chi looked back quickly and saw nothing, but she nodded in agreement.
"Okay, bye."
"See you next time at the competition."
"Okay, thank you."
On the bus following the team back to the provincial team, He Yang, who had temporarily returned to the national team, sent a congratulatory message.
[Coach He: Let’s report to the national team!]
Qu Chi's heart was throbbing with excitement, a different kind from the one she felt during the competition. She sat quietly in her seat, silently enjoying her joy. She was always quiet, so no one knew what she was thinking.
Filled with joy, Qu Chi raised the corners of his mouth and responded to He Yang's congratulations.
Then, he made a well-thought-out request.
[Coach, can I ask about the athlete's transfer to the provincial team?]
The message from He Yang was obviously typed and deleted, typed and deleted again, and finally it was fixed at two words.
【rest assured. 】
Qu Chi breathed a sigh of relief, turned off his phone, put the cool screen on his forehead, and his heart gradually calmed down.
What she did was very dangerous.
She didn't want to waste time waiting to transfer to another team before participating in the competition. For the sake of the provincial team quota, and because no one made things difficult for her after He Yang took over the training, she didn't mention this matter until now.
From the outside, it seems that she may have forgotten her roots and even betrayed the team just after achieving results, which is unfair to the provincial team that trained her.
But she didn't want to attribute the honor of being selected into the national team to Coach Li or even Liu Yue.
If there was a true master-disciple relationship, she would not have experienced such an outrageous thing as changing five head coaches.
No matter how much people in the sports circle accuse her, she doesn't want to be involved in these things in the future.
Qu Chi wants to move to a higher competition arena, which is the honor that track and field athletes pursue throughout their lives. You can say she is conceited, but she believes that she can reach that height, so she wants to clear the score quickly.
In the car, Zhou Xinwen came up to her and whispered:
"Sister Qu Chi, which one are you in?"
She was concentrating on her own competition, and the 100-meter race was over within a day. Afterwards, she rested in the hotel to recover and did not pay attention to Qu Chi. Now everyone has returned to the provincial team together, and no one told her about this, so she came to ask herself.
Qu Chi opened his eyes and said, "First."
Zhou Xinwen seemed to have taken over all the happiness hidden in Qu Chi's heart, and she was immediately overjoyed.
"That's great, Sister Qu Chi, now we can all join the national team!"
The corners of Qu Chi's lips raised slightly, not in a happy arc, but in a friendly way.
"Um."
Zhou Xinwen didn't have any negative emotions at all. She was genuinely happy for Qu Chi's victory. Why?
Since she has been able to change projects, it won’t affect her even if she excels?
No, Zhou Xinwen would never think so.
Qu Chi knew that Zhou Xinwen was too easy. Even if she was still standing on the 100-meter track today and incredibly defeated Zhou Xinwen, she would still cry and congratulate her.
She is indeed a pure genius, and her love for running is as bright as a diamond.
Qu Chi asked herself, she obviously also loved sprinting, but how could she be as pure as Zhou Xinwen.
Zhou Xinwen liked her inexplicably, which Qu Chi couldn't understand. Every time he looked into Zhou Xinwen's eyes, he always felt like he was being burned.
Maybe he was burned by her dazzling genius, or maybe he was burned by her sincerity.
He Yuntong in front woke up and found that his beloved disciple was missing. He turned around and frowned and shouted.
"Don't run around in the car, sit back and fasten your seatbelts!"
Zhou Xinwen drooped her shoulders and quietly waved goodbye to Qu Chi.
Qu Chi also smiled faintly and waved his hand.
Bye now.

He Yang had long regarded Qu Chi as his own disciple. When he saw the news about Qu Chi, he was shocked and wanted to curse.
Of course, I am not scolding Qu Chi, but those people who are just sitting there doing nothing. A talent like Qu Chi is still being treated coldly. Have they harmed more promising talents over the years?
As a coach, she felt sorry for Qu Chi, and as an athlete, she wanted to beat him up.
But she's an adult and does things decently.
So she went to chat with Wang Huisheng. As adults, it was normal for them to chat about colleagues and juniors.
Within two days after Qu Chi returned to the provincial team, she received a message from He Yang telling her that Wang Huisheng might want to talk to her, so she shouldn't be afraid and just tell the truth.
The team that Qu Chi wanted to transfer to has also been contacted, but the procedures in between will take a long time and the process is complicated and tedious. He Yang contacted many parties in an effort to be able to participate normally before next season.
He Yang was currently preparing for the national team's winter training and was completely busy.
Soon, Wang Huisheng really found Qu Chi, and after chatting about some things, she did not immediately agree to transfer to another team.
But according to well-informed Wang Yu, Liu Yue was suspended and the time for reinstatement is uncertain. Coach Li was also punished and was not very happy.
But he didn't dare show it in front of Qu Chi, so Qu Chi pretended not to know.
The day of joining the national team is just around the corner.
The end of this Grand Prix in October means that the important summer events of this year are gradually coming to an end, and the national team's winter training plan has also begun.
Qu Chi did not go home, after all, there was no one at home.
As soon as the national team called them up, the provincial team began to arrange for them to go to the national team's winter training base for training. The players who finished their games later even moved their luggage directly to the car going to the national team.
"You are all on trial at the moment, but we believe that after training with the national team, you will definitely be able to achieve better development. Regardless of whether you succeed in staying in the national team, one day in the future, you will definitely be the honor of our provincial team and the honor of the country."
The honor of the provincial team is to supply talents to the national team. Even if an athlete is called a national team member, the results she obtains in the competition belong to her provincial team.
In other words, it is difficult for the provincial team to let go of athletes who may have honors.
Until now, the news that Qu Chi wants to change teams has not been made public.
In the track and field events, Qu Chi, Zhou Xinwen, and Wang Yu were all called up for tryouts.
Their provincial team has really shined in track and field this year. Wang Yu seems to be very talkative and gossipy, but in fact, she is not only the champion of the long jump event in their provincial team, but also the 200 meters event which she also participates in is also considered a promising event in the future.
Wang Yu stood with his hands on his hips, looking at the gate of the training base, grinning from ear to ear:
"Look, the national team! I'm back!"
Zhou Xinwen asked her curiously, "Have you been to the national team before? That's amazing."
Wang Yu patted his chest proudly: "When the national team launched the Olympic training talent reserve plan, I was the only one from our provincial track and field team selected."
It was just two years ago that the national team reaped a lot of rewards from that Olympic Games, of course, not including track and field events, nor including Wang Yu personally.
During the Olympic preparation period, the national team launched an Olympic talent reserve program. However, after that time, due to some factors, the national team raised the entry threshold of the program, so at least the training was in vain.
"Oh, don't look at me like that. It's just an ordinary training camp. I was selected because of my age. Qu Chi was also very good. I thought he would be selected, but he was too young... The international community said it was inhumane to exploit the potential of young athletes too early. The national team actually ignored Qu Chi and didn't call him up."
When Qu Chi heard his own name, he curled the corners of his mouth and responded politely with a smile.
Age is not a problem. The biggest problem is that she is not talented enough and her performance is not good enough for the national team coach to make an exception for her.
If she could run 11.50 seconds when she was 15 years old, she might not have been included in the National Talent Reserve Program, but in the official national team, just like Zhou Xinwen. If nothing unexpected happened, her path would have been exceptionally brilliant.
But now, she finally stood here as a regular member of the national team.
The two were still bragging about the past, Qu Chi said calmly:
"Come in, it's time to report."
The situation of the other two people was unclear, but Qu Chi was a little shocked when he saw He Yang after packing up his things.
If it weren't for the much more advanced equipment around her, she would have almost mistakenly thought that this was still the time when she and He Yang were in the provincial team.
"Coach, am I the only one participating in the training this year?"
He Yang clapped his hands: "You are the only new one."
Qu Chi was silent.
Dong Zichun is the top female 400m runner in China and has been training with the national team in previous years. He Yang's statement should mean that only she and Dong Zichun participated in the 400m winter training.
At present, Dong Zichun is still waiting for arrangements from his original provincial team and is expected to report in a few days.
Seeing her silence, He Yang smiled gently.
"Oh, didn't I tell you before? We are short of soldiers and food in the 400-meter area. If it weren't for you this year, I wouldn't have recruited anyone."
Qu Chi understood the principle of "better to have nothing than to have something of poor quality", but she also thought of Li Yali whom she met in the previous competition. Her PB also broke 53 seconds, which made her feel that she was a strong opponent in that game.
Such results can't be considered good, right?
He Yang's expression became complicated. She called Qu Chi to sit aside. Since Qu Chi had already come to the national team for training, she was not afraid of scaring him away.
"You know the world record for the women's 400 meters, right?"
World record, 47.60 seconds;
World youth record, 49.42 seconds;
China's national record is 49.81 seconds.
China's national record is not even as good as the world youth record. Compared with the world, the domestic sprint is like a drop in the ocean, without a sound.
Qu Chi knew it, and He Yang knew it even better. As a 400-meter coach, He Yang obviously had a lot more to say.
"The records were all set at least 20 years ago."
"Some people told me that these records couldn't be true, after all, doping controls were lax back then. But...why are the records set in the last century, such as the 100m, 200m, and even the 400m hurdles, all broken, while ours is stuck?"
"Are stimulants really that powerful? Or are our 400-meter drugs just that potent? Ha. Xiaochi, I'm really unwilling to accept this. If, if those two records shouldn't exist, then we must break those fake results. But why are we so weak..."
