◎After this incident, the atmosphere in the team suddenly improved.◎
With the development of the information age, many communication devices have begun to appear in everyone's mobile phones.
People no longer communicate through text messages and phone calls, but also through a certain Q software developed in February 1999.
Before the advent of the DingTalk and WeChat eras, the QQ era also enjoyed a period of glory. The national team found a separate computer room to teach everyone how to register for QQ, and then added each other's Penguin accounts.
We have been to the Internet cafe a few times before, but it was all because we needed to upload some email files.
Many schools have also opened computer rooms and computer courses. In order to keep up with the times, the national team also purchased twenty computers from A Shui's mother and set up a computer room on the second floor of the library.
It is called a computer room, but in reality, the computers nowadays can’t be used for anything other than basic office work.
Nowadays, many documents need to be communicated via email, so the national team requires everyone to register a Penguin account. In the future, some simple documents can be sent directly by email without having to go to the General Administration of Sports separately.
Maomao is going to upload the coaching staff information report, while Zhu Qi and A Shui are going to submit the latest information for competition registration.
Zhu Qi looked at the QQ software, which was still in the development stage and had no QQ space, as well as the six-digit number that he would cherish very much in the future, and gave himself a very casual online name [Zhu Qi].
Very good, simple and clear.
In the future, when football fans dig into the dark history, they won’t be able to find anything to make fun of.
As soon as she said her number, she saw a bunch of old-fashioned small speaker system messages popping up in the pop-up window in the lower right corner.
[Xiao Shui Shui Shui Bao] requests to add you as a friend.
【Cat】Requests to add you as a friend.
[Mr. Lu from Shuangkou] requests to add you as a friend...
There were also my uncle and aunt, my aunt, my uncle-in-law... and Xu Dong, who had just come out of confinement. The profile picture was a sleeping baby's profile.
She and He Qianlu had a little girl, nicknamed Qiuqiu.
"Wow! So cute! She was wrinkled the last time we visited her in the hospital. Now she looks like a little dumpling and must be very soft! Do you think she looks like Coach Xu or Coach He?" Ah Shui came over to look and asked while holding her face.
Maomao laughed and said, "He's only two months old, how can you tell? Did Coach Xu say when he'll be back?"
"I'll be back in November next year to participate in the preparations before Los Angeles. Anyway, I have to wait until the baby is weaned." Zhu Qi clicked on Xu Dong's profile picture and carefully observed the appearance of the little baby.
Soft and sticky.
Very cute.
Just as she was thinking about it, Xu Dong sent her a message: [Train well [clench fist]]
Zhu Qi replied "ok" and closed the conversation window.
Nowadays, people regard QQ as the first communication tool. Later, WeChat was more business-savvy and overtook it by binding payment and snatched away all the users of the PiDan software.
[The Invincible Little Knight] requests to add you as a friend, with the following message: Sis! Add me now.
“…” Zhu Qi.
She moved the mouse to [Reject] and attached a message: The online name has been changed, otherwise I will not add it.
This name is too eye-catching to put in my friend list.
A minute later, Qin Xiaoba added again.
[Little King of Qin] requests to add you as a friend.
“…” Zhu Qi.
She had just agreed to add Qin Xiaoba when another pop-up window appeared.
【Song LZ】requests to add you as a friend.
The profile picture is a photo of the back of a person wearing a Chinese basketball team jersey, and you can tell who it is at a glance.
After Zhu Qi agreed, various information came in from the backstage.
Mobile phones have evolved into flip phones with LCD color screens. After Maomao became a coach, the national team assigned her a work phone. Zhu Qi also bought a similar one, which can be used to install the mobile version of QQ. However, it is not an application but a mobile web version of QQ. You need to open a webpage, enter the link to the web version of QQ, and then chat with friends, just like the pirated pop-up window.
Data traffic is shockingly expensive these days, and there's no such thing as over-use suspension. There are even rumors about people forgetting to turn off the internet at night and finding out the next day that they've lost a house.
Before wireless networks became popular, Zhu Qi would only surf the Internet in the computer room.
Ah Shui was happy surfing the Internet, and he asked Zhu Qi and Maomao to register some blogs and forums to share his daily life as a "surfer".
There was just some time left, so Zhu Qi took a look at the forum and found that someone had created a section for him, and there were more than 8,000 friends posting nonsense in it.
This number was considered very large in an era before the Internet became popular.
There are also hundreds of posts in it, many of which are various analyses of Zhu Qi's games, as well as various jokes and compliments.
Another part is suggestions and analysis on Zhu Qi’s current technology.
There are even some people who have signed in for more than 200 days.
Zhu Qi felt nostalgic as he looked at the various Internet software that seemed quite old-fashioned.
Over the past twenty years, Zhu Qi has grown accustomed to this kind of life. Although his exposure to the internet is limited, he doesn't find it boring or tedious. Instead, he feels a sense of simplicity and pragmatism. After all, face-to-face communication is more direct and sincere than online communication.
When the Pandora's box of the Internet is opened.
People's lives will indeed become better, the things they come into contact with will become richer, and good and bad things will follow one after another.
Seeing that Zhu Qi had his own personal forum, A Shui searched his own name and found that he also had a special column. Although there were only more than 3,000 followers, A Shui was very satisfied and even chatted with his friends in it.
Zhu Qi took a look and found that Ah Shui's replies all started with "伦家" and ended with "遁走", so he laughed out loud.
Ah Shui pulled Zhu Qi and asked her to join in. "These people are so interesting. They say we are beautiful and good at playing football, and we are the pillars of the country. I said, you are sitting next to me, and this person wants to confess to you, why don't you reply~"
"No." Zhu Qi smiled and retracted his hand, preparing to turn off the computer.
These will all be her dark history in the future, and she doesn't want to leave a "mark" on the Internet.
Before turning off the computer, Zhu Qi saw a message Song Linzhou had left for her: [The weather forecast says it will rain in half an hour [umbrella][umbrella][umbrella]]
"Let's go. It's going to rain outside." Zhu Qi pressed the power button on the host computer and pulled Ah Shui, who was still reluctant to leave, away together, with Maomao following closely behind.
Now that the Internet is becoming more and more popular, people's hearts are beginning to fluctuate.
After Maomao came back, he discovered one thing: the players started running to the computer room for no reason.
"That won't do. I heard from Daxiong last time that several kids in the boys' team didn't go to bed until two or three in the morning. They all said they couldn't sleep, but when Daxiong went to check, he found a bunch of controllers and game consoles." Maomao said as he looked at Zhu Qi.
Zhu Qi is now the captain of the women's team and also has the obligation to supervise and manage.
She had prepared for this matter a long time ago. The last time she scolded four young players and made them cry, one of them did so because he skipped meals and went to the computer room to surf the Internet. As a result, he had low blood sugar during the afternoon training and had no energy to play.
Ah Shui also has a slight surfing addiction. He was reluctant to leave the computer room just now and whispered, "As long as it doesn't affect training and competition, it's okay...right?"
Zhu Qi and Maomao looked at her simultaneously. Ah Shui shrank her head and said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."
/
After a brief communication between Zhu Qi and Maomao, they formulated a plan to control the players' access to the net.
After listening to Maomao's retelling, Ren Xinhua didn't change anything and let Maomao and Zhu Qi do it.
Then, everyone looked at the big lock hanging outside the computer room and was curious for a long time.
"Huh? You're not allowed to come anymore? Why?"
“What if I send any more emails?”
"Look, there's something posted here. What does it say?"
There was an A4 paper posted at the gate, which said that one needed to report to the team leader to use the computer.
Maomao stood beside the paper, explaining word by word to everyone: "From now on, if you need it, please follow the same format as when you submitted the application. Take the application form and go to your team leader to get the key to the computer room. The time you spend online at any one time cannot exceed ten minutes."
There was another wailing from the bottom of the stairs.
Zhu Qi raised his voice: "Go back to training!"
The crowd quickly dispersed and headed towards the training hall.
As he left, Zhu Qi could still hear cries of complaint coming from the crowd.
Ah Shui scratched his face, a little confused: "Bao Bao, do you think this will work?"
Maomao understood what Ah Shui meant. Nowadays, everyone has a mobile phone and can access the internet. The internet will only get better and better in the future. Furthermore, the national team's salaries had increased by 20 percent this year, so everyone had some spare cash.
In addition, many of the children in the second team are only fourteen or fifteen years old and have no idea about managing money.
Although traffic is expensive, it doesn’t mean that people are reluctant to buy it.
If you want to go online, you can do it anyway.
Just like the love life that Ren Xinhua has always cracked down on... It was said that if anyone fell in love within the team, they would be sent back to the provincial team. During the SARS period, when Ren Xinhua had a minor surgery and six absolute main players were trapped in Incheon, a pair of young lovers who were secretly holding hands appeared in the team.
But after Ren Xinhua came back, the two broke up because of their incompatibility in personality, so Ren Xinhua didn't delve into it.
Zhu Qi, after all, has come from the past and knows that a ban on tennis is unstoppable. However, she believes, "First, the national team's stance must be clear. Even if a player wants to challenge the rules, they must consider the potential costs: training suspension, ban, or even, in serious cases, relegation to the provincial team. To put it bluntly, if someone who wants to challenge the rules doesn't even have this little bit of 'cleverness,' their competitive achievements are likely to be bleak."
Zhu Qi's ideas are rather evil.
She thinks.
If someone tried to break discipline or play tricks on the team, and could keep it a secret forever while everyone thought they were good players, Zhu Qi would consider them amazing. But if she caught them once, they would be punished immediately.
"I agree." Maomao nodded. "A player as disciplined as Baobao doesn't even need to be supervised; they know what to do. These rules are meant to limit those with poor self-discipline. If such a player can't even stick to these rules, then they're not fit to stay on the national team."
/
After the Internet restriction rules were posted, fewer people sneaked into the computer room.
Because the dormitory doors are not locked and can be entered with just a push, Zhu Qi also proposed to the coaching staff that in addition to checking the dormitories at regular times and locations every day, they should also conduct random checks at the dormitories from time to time.
The female dormitory is more troublesome, after all, it is inconvenient for girls.
After Xu Dong went on maternity leave, there was only one female coach in the team, Chang Hongxia. As a new coach, Maomao had less work to do, so she took the initiative to ask to take on this spot check job.
Several of them were lying on the bed and having fun when they were caught by the coach who pushed the door open. His electronic devices were confiscated and he was forced to run a 10,000-meter penalty.
Those who are caught more times will be punished more severely.
From 10,000 meters to 20,000 meters, 30,000 meters...
Zhu Qi stood in the stands to supervise the laps.
She was always strict, demanding, and meticulous, keeping a close eye on the number of circles each person completed.
Some people were so tired after running that they lay on the ground for a long time and couldn’t even move their energy to train.
Then, several coaches, feeling sorry for their players, came over to ask Zhu Qi, "Isn't this a bit too much? It's just a punishment. As long as the meaning is conveyed, there's no need to be so serious. Look at this kid during training. He can't even lift his legs. How will he train later if he uses up such a young body now?"
Although they would normally punish the players, they would just turn a blind eye and let the players get away with running two laps less or taking a shortcut.
But Zhu Qi didn't give in to anyone, and everyone would help count the laps for each other when they started running.
"If even the punishment is not fair to everyone, how can the players believe that the coaching staff is impartial in the allocation of the roster? If you don't want to exhaust your body, you can choose not to make mistakes, right?" Zhu Qi's expression was as calm as a mountain.
The coach who came to plead for mercy could only leave in disappointment.
Zhu Qi was cruel to the young players and also ruthless to himself.
Once it happened to rain during a penalty run.
The rain poured down like a stream from the sky, so continuous that even the raindrops were invisible. The players who were penalized tried to beg Zhu Qi to waive their penalty run for the sake of the weather, but Zhu Qi said, "Come to the playground. I'll run with you. Even if it rains knives from the sky, I'll run the full distance and come back."
After this incident, the atmosphere in the team suddenly improved.
Other coaches might let the players off, but Zhu Qi really punished them.
never mind.
If you don’t want to play, then don’t play.
That's better than running around day and night as punishment.
After running a few laps, others have already practiced serving three times.
The price for the improvement in the atmosphere was that Zhu Qi had a low fever for three days.
"Come here, this is the ginger chicken soup I asked Aunt Zhang in the kitchen to make for you." Ah Shui came up with a lunch box, pushed open Zhu Qi's room, and placed the lunch box on the table. Then he took the thermometer out of Zhu Qi's bedding and took a look. "It hasn't subsided yet? It's been three days, right? If it doesn't get better tomorrow, should we go to the hospital?"
Zhu Qi lay on the bed with no strength left.
After turning 27, I began to feel that my body’s ability to recover in all aspects is not as good as it was when I was young as I’m getting older.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow, cough cough." Zhu Qi pulled the quilt up.
A Shui helped her up and fed her ginger soup.
Zhu Qi didn't want to bother with it, so he picked up the bowl and gulped it all down.
After drinking it, I felt a bitter taste in my mouth, so I got out of bed, rinsed my mouth and prepared to go to bed.
A Shui was afraid she would faint, so he followed her to the bathroom and said half-jokingly, half-sighingly, "Look at you, you're not seventeen or eighteen anymore. You were strong and healthy back then and could do anything. Don't run away if it's raining. Just scare those kids. You can make it up tomorrow at worst."
"You don't understand, ahem," Zhu Qi said, spitting out the toothpaste. "Children are the best at reading people's expressions and responding accordingly. A little strictness and seriousness now will give them a sense of purpose, making it easier to manage them later. Once they become senior players, new players will see how diligent the veterans are, and they'll follow suit. Only then will this positive atmosphere continue..."
Ah Shui listened thoughtfully, then suddenly smiled and asked, "Speaking of which, let's use an analogy... don't you see Coach Xu and Coach Da He living pretty well now? And their relationship hasn't changed after all these years. If you were in charge of Coach Xu and Coach Da He back then, how would you... handle it?"
As Ah Shui spoke, he observed Zhu Qi's expression very eagerly.
Zhu Qi took another sip of water and spit it out. "What do you mean? Deal with it according to the rules and regulations. Send it back to the provincial team."
"..." Ah Shui was anxious. "Those are Coach Xu and Coach Da He! Didn't Master Fo and Chairman Ren send them back to the provincial team? Wasn't it because they valued their talents? Rules are made by people, and even those outside the law are based on human relationships... Hehe, don't you agree?"
When Zhu Qi heard this, she sensed something was wrong. She looked up at Ah Shui very seriously and asked, "Are you in a relationship?"
Perhaps it was because the tone was too firm, or perhaps it was because Zhu Qi's eyes were too sharp.
Ah Shui was startled and took a step back, stepping on the mop at the door.
A loud bang echoed in the empty and deserted corridor.
