52 Technological Reform
◎If she went, wouldn't she be separated from He Qianlu?◎
Many people left the team at once.
Three people walked back and forth from the women's team, and it seemed like there were fewer people on the team.
And one member of the men's team also left.
It’s Gao Xiaofeng.
This was within Zhu Qi's expectations.
In his previous life, Gao Xiaofeng retired shortly after the Tokyo World Games.
Unlike Chang Hongxia's semi-retirement, Gao Xiaofeng has completely retired and will not play in any competitions.
He really couldn't fight anymore.
When Gao Xiaofeng lost to Matsukaze Ichito at the Tokyo World Games, he knew it was time to say goodbye to the arena.
The position of captain of the men's team was taken over by Daxiong.
Qin Xiaoba said that their men's team also set up a table to celebrate Gao Xiaofeng's practice and to celebrate Daxiong becoming the new captain of the men's team.
Zhu Qi was still a little curious: "Didn't Brother Xiaofeng tell me what he was going to do?"
"I said I'm going to marry my girlfriend. That girl has been waiting for Brother Xiaofeng for eight years."
In this day and age, waiting for eight years is indeed not easy.
The wedding was held in Chaojing, and the woman also worked in Chaojing. After the marriage, the whole family will probably settle in Chaojing.
Several male team players who were on good terms with Gao Xiaofeng went to the wedding. Zhu Qi did not go, but asked Qin Xiaoba to help with the gift money.
When Qin Xiaoba came back, he whispered to Zhu Qi, "Your coach is there too."
Zhu Qi thought he was being a bit crazy and shrugged it off: "Sister Xu Dong and Brother Xiao Feng were players from the same generation. It's not normal for them to celebrate at a wedding."
"No, I'm talking about Brother Lu! Brother Lu and Coach Xu were both there, sitting at the same table."
“…” Zhu Qi.
Can't you just say the name?
Who knows if you just talk about the coach?
However, Zhu Qi was not one for gossip, and he did not think that attending his old teammate's wedding was any big news, so he did not take it to heart.
But that night, Zhu Qi called He Qianlu and inadvertently mentioned Brother Xiaofeng's marriage. When he asked He Qianlu why he didn't come to the national team to see him when he came to Chaojing, He Qianlu suddenly hesitated and even made up a lie that he didn't come to Chaojing.
"Qin Shang said he saw you." Zhu Qi felt that something was wrong with him.
He Qianlu stammered, "No, no, he must have seen it wrong. I, I didn't go anywhere in Jianghuai."
“…” Zhu Qi.
Okay, if you didn’t come, then you didn’t come.
She didn't want to ask too much about the older generation.
You deserve to be single for the rest of your life.

The men's table tennis team performed poorly at the Tokyo World Games. After Ren Xinhua talked with the old man, he felt that what the old man said made a lot of sense and that we should "learn from the strong points of the foreigners in order to defeat them."
So the team started to have a craze for practicing loop balls.
Zhu Qi was very familiar with this "enhanced topspin" because she had practiced it secretly a long time ago, and Maomao and A Shui had also been practicing with her.
Even Song Linzhou and Qin Xiaoba from the men's team benefited from it.
Although the technology is still immature, we are not completely in the dark.
When the boys saw that Zhu Qi was getting better and better at hitting loop balls, they were very envious and regretted not coming to learn from Zhu Qi earlier.
But not everyone can play this kind of ball.
Most of the players in the team have already developed their skills.
It is a very dangerous thing to suddenly abandon the tactical system that you have practiced for more than ten years and switch to a loop ball system.
If the changes are good, the technology will advance by leaps and bounds.
The changes were not good, and even the previous tactical system could not be found, and it completely fell to the bottom.
Shi Ge, the head coach of the men's team, thought about it and found Da Xiong and asked him, "Are you willing to change?"
Although in the mixed team men's singles, Daxiong defeated Songfeng.
But Daxiong really suffered from loop balls in the men's singles. When he received the ball, it was hard to imagine that the ball could fly so high all of a sudden, and it was impossible to defend against it.
Therefore, before Shi Ge came to find him, Da Xiong had plans in this regard.
As soon as Shi Ge finished speaking, Da Xiong immediately nodded: "I am willing to change!"
Except for Big Bear.
Because Song Linzhou uses a straight-blade horizontal hitter and is a latecomer to the art of straight-blade horizontal hitting, he has to endure twice as much hardship as others when practicing loop shots, and it is difficult for him to hit high-quality loop shots.
Although Song Linzhou performed well in the mixed doubles this time.
But Shi Ge felt that a big part of the reason was that Song Linzhou was motivated by that girl and stimulated a lot of potential that he could not normally show.
Qin Xiaoba's talent is the best among the new batch of people, but he has no ambition and is always laughing, which is very troublesome.
Zhu Qi stood in front of the table, watching Qin Xiaoba pull the ball one by one, and began to sigh: "When our grandma was young, she played on the Jianghuai women's basketball provincial team. Although she didn't make the national team, she inherited her athletic genes from us."
I have to say.
Qin Xiaoba is also a quick learner. Although his talent is not as good as hers, he is still one of the best among his peers.
But he is like a piece of useless wood, and he gets lazy after practicing for a while.
Qin Xiaoba was panting with exhaustion. While pulling the ball, he said, "Yes, yes, we can make the national team thanks to our grandma. Huh, huh... Ha! Ha! Hey! Hey!"
He was making weird noises and pretending to swing the racket very hard, but in fact he was not swinging very hard at all.
Zhu Qi walked over and kicked him in the butt: "Practice well!"
"Yes..." Qin Xiaoba said bitterly. "I'll practice hard and pass this gene on to my child..."
"Don't you know that only women's mitochondrial DNA can be inherited indefinitely? Men's mitochondrial DNA dies when it is still an egg. Only women can pass on the incense and preserve the most original genes of our ancestors." Zhu Qi crossed his arms, very disdainful.
Ah Shui, who was standing next to him, didn't catch the ball and asked curiously, "Really?"
"The paternal Y is just a tool in gene transmission, like a pot for watering flowers, and it has no use at all," said Zhu Qi.
"Doesn't that mean that only by giving birth to daughters from generation to generation can this gene be truly passed on? Otherwise, no matter how many boys we give birth to, our family line will be cut off?" Ah Shui looked excited and looked down at himself with a satisfied expression.
Ah, such excellent genes!
Zhu Qi nodded, "That's right." Then he turned back to look at Qin Xiaoba. "Your Qin family is gone, but our Zhu family is thriving."
"Fuck, I want to have a daughter in the future!" Qin Xiaoba yelled.
"Come on, who will give birth to you? Look at you." Ah Shui said disdainfully. "And don't you understand? The Y in your family is already broken in you."
Qin Xiaoba scratched his head: "Oh, that's it, the Qin family's athletic talent is gone in me, otherwise I'll just find a girlfriend who also plays basketball."
"Oh, look at your behavior, tsk." Ah Shui...
The days passed in a noisy manner.
Everything is the same as before, yet very different.
The same thing is that when I wake up every morning, I still go to the same place.
Running back and forth between the cafeteria, training hall, and dormitory.
The difference is that the entire seventh floor is quiet and there is no one around.
Chang Hongxia rarely returned to the players' dormitory. She lived in the coach's dormitory with Xu Dong.
Because I don’t play in foreign competitions, my daily training volume is not as much as Zhu Qi and A Shui. I am usually responsible for helping the coach supervise the players’ training.
By the way, I also work as a part-time coach, arranging the progress of subsequent games and checking dormitories at night.
Zhu Qi had a premonition.
The captain may have to transition to become a coach.
Although part of the captain's job in the team before was to manage the players on behalf of the coach, the scope of his responsibilities was far less than what he does now.
And he hasn't officially changed his position to become the coach yet, probably because Maomao hasn't come back yet, and the team cannot be without a captain.
There are no major competitions from the beginning of the year to June, with a few domestic and Asian feeder and exchange competitions interspersed in between.
Zhu Qi picked out some competitions with high prize money to participate in and practice his loop shots at the same time.
During this period, housing prices skyrocketed at an immeasurable rate, tripling in just six months, but it had not yet reached the limit that Zhu Qi could remember.
The most popular greeting in the 1990s was "Have you bought a house?" This kind of person-to-person transmission effect was terrible.
All the buildings are rising from the ground, and are built as fast as bamboo shoots after rain.
For people, "home" is a harbor that they always pursue, and the prerequisite for having a home is to have a house.
In her previous life, Zhu Qi hated real estate speculation, so she didn't plan to sell it for too much. She could sell it at a slightly lower market price later, or give a proper discount to those who had difficulty living in Beijing.
Top athletes have always had the best retirement security, and now they just want to earn some pocket money.
Use it to buy gold and invest in some promising Internet companies.
Others spend less, and she earns more.
Win-win!
"Baobao, the chairman wants you to go to his office." Chang Hongxia shouted in the crowd. Zhu Qi responded and followed.
There was nothing else to ask Zhu Qi to come over for, except for another important issue concerning the athletes.
University status.
As a World Games champion, you can be admitted to Beijing Sport University or a sports university in your place of residence.
Most people would choose the former, because the national team is in Chaoyang, and if there is anything that needs to be dealt with in the future, you can just take a taxi there. There is no need to run back and forth between the provincial and national teams.
Zhu Qi looked at the application form in his hand and said, "But... I want to go back to Jiang Sports University."
Although being recommended is not like being able to directly enter university with an admission notice in twenty years, you still have to take the college entrance examination because the General Administration of Sports has requirements for national team players, such as respecting the college entrance examination and setting an example.
For athletes, there were two tests: a written exam and a physical exam. The former was just a matter of writing. After all, serious national team players didn't take academic classes once they joined the provincial team. No one, like Song Linzhou, would find time to read a book.
Zhu Qi is not a top student. In his previous life, it took him a lot of effort just to pass the CET-4 and CET-6. When he got to the examination hall, he would probably just choose the long one among three long ones and two short ones.
Ren Xinhua asked in surprise: "Why?"
"Because graduates from Jiang Sports School are guaranteed employment." It would be great to directly become a civil servant in the Jianghuai Provincial Sports Department.
Ren Xinhua was stunned for a moment, thinking that the child in front of him had a unique mind.
There's no way around it. Who was it that no one wanted to take the civil service exam in the 1990s? They all wanted to go out and do business.
Ren Xinhua analyzed to Zhu Qi the benefits of applying to Beijing Sport University from beginning to end.
But seeing that Zhu Qi insisted on returning to Jiang Sports University to study, the topic was temporarily dropped.
The next day, Ren Xinhua brought another person to see Zhu Qi. The other person was only about 30 years old, wearing small glasses and looked gentle and refined. As soon as he saw Zhu Qi, he shook hands with her politely and praised Zhu Qi in every way with a smile on his face.
Zhu Qi was just wondering when the other party said cheerfully that he was the director of the Education Department of Beijing Sport University.
“…” Zhu Qi.
This is direct door-to-door enrollment.
Finally, the director promised Zhu Qi: "As long as you win another World Games championship, whether it's individual, doubles, or team events, you can directly enter graduate school. I will be your graduate advisor and guide you step by step."
“…” Zhu Qi.
hiss.
This smells good too!
If she is admitted to graduate school, she will have more options in the future, and she will be among the first batch of graduate students!
Seeing Zhu Qi was interested, the director added, "And if you win a world-class championship, we will award you 80% of the prize money on behalf of the school. For Asian-level competitions, the school will award 50% of the prize money. Zhu Qi, our school sincerely invites you to join us."
"Okay, I'll study at Beijing Sport University!" Zhu Qi stood up and shook hands with the other party.
Sorry, the other party gave too much.
It’s a small vital point, take control of it!
/
While Zhu Qi was busy packing up to return to Jianghuai Province, he listened to Ah Shui's wailing, "You're gone and I'm left alone. I'm so lonely, empty, and miserable. When will you come back?"
The players on the men's team who were the first to change their techniques also had some degree of polarization problems.
Changing technology is like being reborn from the ashes.
In the three months after Daxiong decided to change his technology, Shige didn't sleep well for a single day.
I go to bed at 11 o'clock every day, sleep until 1 o'clock in the morning, sleep for two hours in a daze, then wake up with a start, stay awake again until 4 o'clock, sleep for another two hours in a daze, and then open my eyes until it's time for morning exercises.
He regretted it very much and didn't know whether it was right to let Daxiong improve his technique and practice looping shots.
After Gao Xiaofeng retired, Daxiong was the only one in the team who had hope of withstanding the Moscow cycle.
However, the dominance of Japan's looping balls has broken the current fast break system of the Chinese team.
The external teams have already mastered the existing technology of the Chinese team, and it is no use blindly practicing hard to break through the physical limits.
However, if the technology is changed, it is very likely that the existing tactical system of Big Bear will be disrupted.
Maybe... Big Bear will be destroyed.
Until Daxiong joined the Bayi team.
The head coach of the Bayi team, the first-time player of the national table tennis team, and an epic legendary figure, the old man appeared.
The old man changed the rubber for Big Bear to one with a lower degree of strength.
After a few days of getting familiar with it, this chaotic system was slightly improved, and the topspin balls were not so floating anymore.
Each one is very real and the landing point can be controlled.
Once you get familiar with it a little more, you’ll be able to compete in less than half a year.
Shi Ge's anxious heart finally settled down and he slept soundly.
He thanked the old man profusely: "You have to take action yourself, otherwise this child will fall into my hands. I have to ask you to take action and think of a solution for us."
The old man waved his folding fan, full of energy. "I'm just looking after the young players of our Bayi team, turning this steel into swords. How to use it specifically is up to you. Young people, if you keep asking us old guys everything, what's the point of you?"
“Yes, yes, yes…”
"By the way, give me He Qianlu's phone number. I need something from him."
"Yes, I'll find it for you."
/
He Qianlu had never expected that one of the founders of the National Table Tennis Team of the General Administration of Sports, the top strategist who made China the Great Wall of Table Tennis in the 1960s, and the old man who was regarded as a formidable enemy by foreign associations, would actually visit and appear in the coaching office of the Jianghuai Provincial Team.
Even if he was once a notorious troublemaker in the national table tennis team, he still had to bow respectfully and say, "Old Commander, how are you these days? Why didn't you tell me in advance so I could pick you up at the train station?"
The provincial team secretary nearby also followed suit, busily serving tea and water. Standing nearby, he said, "Please give us your instructions, Commander."
The old man didn't waste any words and said, "Qin Shang is one of your men, right? I've looked at his information, and he has a good feel and talent. I want to take him away, and I'm telling you."
This is a notification, not a discussion.
Since the establishment of the Bayi team.
On behalf of the national team, Ren Xinhua greeted all the provincial teams below, asking them to actively cooperate with the old man in selecting players and building the "Bayi Team".
He Qianlu scratched his nose and nodded. "Okay, this kid is really talented, but a little lazy. If he can train with the old commander, he will definitely become a great man. I'll find all his information and give it to you."
"There's another person." The old man took out a photo cut out of a newspaper and spread it on the table. "Her, I want her too."
No one expected that the gray-brown newspaper would reveal the image of a young girl.
The dazzling World Games gold medal hung on her chest, and she looked youthful, bright and charming.
He Qianlu jumped up and said, "She can't do that! She's the treasure of our Jianghuai Provincial Team. If you take her away, what will happen to our Table Tennis League? No, no, old commander, you can't take away someone's love..."
The provincial team secretary was also reluctant.
These are the fresh and exciting World Games mixed team and mixed doubles championships, and they are aiming for the Grand Slam in the future!
They have been in Jianghuai Province for many years, but there is not even one person who can enter the national team.
I finally got two of them out, what should I do now that they are leaving?
Whether their provincial sports committee's year-end report is well written depends on these two siblings!
"Doesn't the Bayi team accept girls? Old commander, you see..." The provincial team secretary also gave a tactful reminder.
The old man was not in a hurry and drank his tea slowly and leisurely: "I won't accept it on principle."
But then again.
Who put the principles in his hands?
"The Bayi team's badminton team has a new girl, and I think she's doing pretty well. There's mixed doubles in all the major competitions now, and I'm short of a female player. Hey, Da He, why are you still so stingy like before? You're asking for a child from me like it's your life. What's the matter? Are you worried about leaving the child in my care?"
He Qianlu muttered: "That's not the case..."
After hearing this, He Qianlu understood.
It was probably at the Tokyo World Games that the old man saw that Zhu Qi was good at looping the ball, so he wanted to recruit him for his own use.
I heard that during this period, the old man was recruiting soldiers in various provinces.
The old man has a sharp eye. All the players he wants to leave are talented and hardworking, and there is an 80 to 90 percent chance that they will make it big in the future.
Many provincial teams were crying and saying that their beloved players were taken away by the old man.
But since the old man has spoken, I have to give it to him even if I am reluctant.
From this point of view, the old man also approves of Zhu Qi.
Following such a prestigious master is indeed much better than following myself.
In terms of coaching experience, no one can compare to the old commander.
Furthermore, as the founding father of table tennis, the old man must have the best resources at his disposal.
Many players submitted their information to the Bayi team, but all their responses fell on deaf ears.
Since the old man has chosen Zhu Qi... okay then.
"She will definitely make more progress following the old commander than following me. But this girl has a stubborn personality and is quite stubborn. Sometimes she will go against you even though she knows you are right. She is stubborn from head to toe. I am afraid that she will disobey discipline and anger the old commander again..." He Qianlu gave a warning in advance.
The old man waved his folding fan and squinted his eyes. "That's not difficult. The Bayi team has three coaching positions and one is missing. Those two are old men who only know how to deal with boys. You have experience with girls, so I think you're a good fit."
The secretary of the Jianghuai Provincial Team was anxious: "Old Commander, why are you still eating and taking things!..."
/
During the college entrance examination month, Zhu Qi applied to the national team to return to Jianghuai Province.
If you count carefully, Zhu Qi has not been home for two and a half years.
Even so, Zhu Qi's bedroom was cleaned spotlessly by his uncle and aunt. As soon as he opened the door, a very pleasant and refreshing orange scent hit him in the face.
Zhu Qi lay on the bed, with the family dog running back and forth beside her, wagging its tail like a fan and barking at her.
The bed, which originally seemed very large, now felt a little short. She just lay flat on her back and felt that her feet could touch the edge of the bed.
My uncle and aunt asked about my well-being with tears in their eyes.
"When I saw you on TV, I felt like you had lost weight. But when I touched you, there wasn't even any flesh on you." My aunt reached out and touched her belly, and felt the mermaid line that she had painstakingly trained.
Her skin was very thin, and her muscles were clearly defined. With a little effort, her entire pants were stretched out, and the lines on both sides of her waist sank into the waistband of her pants like an abyss.
Although he looks thin, his body is actually made of lean meat.
"I heard from your brother that the coaches of the national team really like you. You have made it big! I heard people on the radio praising you as a rising star in Chinese table tennis. That's great. Quickly take out your gold medal and show it to me!" My uncle rubbed his hands excitedly.
Zhu Qi stretched out her foot to hook the zipper of the suitcase, and then picked it up with her foot. There was a row of glittering gold medals mixed with two silver medals, pressing down on her personal belongings.
My uncle and aunt exclaimed "Wow" at the same time and touched the pile of medals: "Are these all real gold and silver?"
"That's not the case. Only the World Games gold medals contain gold, um... about 6 grams." Zhu Qi reached in and pulled out a red box. After opening it, two gold medals from the Tokyo World Games lay inside.
The working class, who have toiled all their lives, are unable to express their emotions and can only exclaim in admiration.
That night, my aunt and uncle also came to celebrate Zhu Qi's return home.
When the five people met, the joyous atmosphere made Zhu Qi immersed in family affection and forget the pressure of the competition and the difficulties of technical breakthroughs, and he felt happy for a short time.
"I knew this kid was amazing. He'd make it big sooner or later!" My uncle-in-law sighed as he touched the World Games gold medal. "I never thought I'd ever touch a World Games gold medal in my lifetime."
My uncle cleared out a wall, hammered a bunch of nails on it, and hung Zhu Qi's gold medals one by one in a place where they could be seen by opening the door.
The four adults stood by the wall, overjoyed.
My aunt beamed with pride: "Of course, this is all due to the excellent genes of our Zhu family! Look at your son, he's been on the national team for three years, right? Forget gold medals, I've only seen a few bronze medals."
Because Zhu Qi won a gold medal, a red banner hung at the village gate read, "Congratulations to our village's Zhu Qi for winning the mixed doubles and mixed team gold medals at the Tokyo World Games." Even on her way here, she could see posters of Zhu Qi's World Games performance hanging on many previously blank walls.
However, those photos were basically of her exerting herself during competitions, and her facial features were somewhat messed up.
Many children would gather around and curiously ask their family members, "What is a gold medal?"
My family would usually say, "You're already number one, so you should work harder to be number one. It's so good to be number one, you can eat big chicken legs and drink foreign soda!"
The children would never have thought that the first place winner whom they envied, who could eat big chicken legs, would also be working hard to prepare for the college entrance examination.
During the college entrance examination, the whole family goes out.
Zhu Qi was taking an exam in the school while four adults were standing guard outside.
For three consecutive days of exams, Zhu Qi was surrounded by onlookers when he entered the exam room and when he left the exam room.
Many people who recognized her automatically formed a wall around her, shouting her name.
The exam hall guard was puzzled and came over to see: "What are you yelling about?" When he saw Zhu Qi, he was delighted. "Oh, you're a world champion. You're a fast player, how come you can finish the test so quickly?"
Zhu Qi was very ashamed for handing in the paper early. He lowered his head and quickly got into his uncle's car.
When Zhu Qi was first taken to her uncle's house, she heard a lot of gossip.
They simply said that my uncle was too kind-hearted. His wife had congenital corrected transposition of the great arteries and had to rely on household chores for the rest of her life. Not only did he take care of a patient, but he also brought back a child.
It would be fine if it was a boy.
When I grow up, I will be able to help my family.
In the end, she was still a skinny little girl.
What’s the use?
Moreover, more than ten years ago, people's economic capabilities had not yet developed. Although taxis were novel, not many people were willing to spend money on them. They would ask their family members to drive a horse-drawn carriage or take a passing bulldozer and return home.
The Zhu couple even had trouble making ends meet.
At that time, many neighbors began to take out loans, and the Zhu family was in disharmony. There would be chaos in the future, and they would have no food to eat.
Especially when Zhu Qi was seven years old, he was sent to the city sports school.
The couple sold their three old hens and bought Zhu Qi a brand new table tennis board.
Everyone thought that my uncle and aunt were crazy, and there were more discussions. Some people, who were so excited about the fun, just stood at the door and ate melon seeds.
"This child killed his own mother when he was four years old. They said he was sent here because he was abused by his stepmother. In the final analysis, wasn't he abandoned?"
Then my aunt, who couldn't do strenuous exercise due to heart disease, rushed out holding a mop for cleaning the toilet and started beating anyone she saw.
My aunt had attended high school and worked as an educated youth in the countryside when she was young. She had the pride of a scholar, but she also stood up for herself as a mother that day.
Several strong women who worked in the fields every day were chased around the village by a patient who had to take medicine all year round.
Later, Qin Xiaoba recalled this incident and said that those women might not be afraid of his aunt, but were afraid of the mop with shit on it in his aunt's hand.
Since then, the rumors died down for a while, at least no one dared to mention the five words "motherless child" in front of Zhu Qi.
Later, when Zhu Qi was eight years old, he won the national junior singles championship and returned home with a prize of 300 yuan and three boxes of Moutai.
Everyone in the village was dumbfounded. No one had expected that in an era when Moutai was only eight yuan a bottle, they would see an eight-year-old child holding three red banknotes.
And then it never ends.
Zhu Qi participated in more and more competitions and won more and more gold medals and bonuses.
My aunt's health has improved a lot in the past two years, and my uncle has also moved from the night shift to the day shift.
This time when he returned home, Zhu Qi not only prepared for the college entrance examination, but also completely renovated his home.
Remove the old fan and replace it with an air conditioner!
Take down the black and white TV and replace it with a color one!
Change your bicycle! Buy the most fashionable motorcycle!
Just spend money! Just feel good!
It’s just revenge consumption, hey, it makes me happy!
By the way, take your family to the hospital for a physical examination.
Even the bell around the dog's neck was replaced with a new one.
As soon as they heard that Zhu Qi had returned, all those close and distant relatives came to visit him.
Zhu Qi could only sit among the adults and watch TV, smiling and saying a few words from time to time to show that he was listening.
Chat, laugh, and eat with you.
New escort.
During this period, the village secretary also came and gave away three old hens, a bucket of peanut oil, a bag of fat rice, and a separate reward of 5,000 yuan from the village committee.
I have to thank this old uncle very much. The village secretary helped when Zhu Qi was selecting the city team.
I wrote a letter of recommendation for Zhu Qi and sent it to the municipal team directly under the provincial team. Within half a year, he was promoted to the provincial team.
The village secretary put down his things, smoked a cigarette with his uncle, and was about to leave, but when he saw Zhu Qi, his eyes lit up and he sighed repeatedly, "She's different after coming back from the capital. When she first came here, she was like a little quail, skinny and malnourished. She was tortured by her family. Now she's slender and graceful, stylish and handsome. She's really grown into a young lady."
"Uncle Wang, you are too kind. This shows that our village is blessed with talented people and beautiful scenery. My roots are well nurtured here." Zhu Qi said with a smile.
The village secretary laughed heartily. "Well said, Qiqi. You have to sign for uncle and hang it in my office. I'll have to tell people about it when they come."
"no problem!"
Zhu Qi has done nothing these days since he came back. He just signs when he opens his eyes and signs when he closes his eyes.
Finally, the holiday was almost over, and before returning to the national team, she went to the Jianghuai Provincial Team to chat with He Qianlu.
As soon as he joined the provincial team, Zhu Qi found that many of the players he played for were gone, and there were many children he had never seen before.
After seeing Zhu Qi, the children were stunned for a moment, and then they jumped up and down with excitement.
It is the light of Jianghuai!
National team boss!
Oh shit!
Zhu Qi grabbed a child and asked, "What are you doing?"
"In the office." the child said loudly.
Zhu Qi asked the child to lead the way. As soon as he pushed the door open, he heard someone say, "Old General, why are you still eating and taking things..."
There were four men standing in the room, one of them was He Qianlu, and Zhu Qi knew the other one, who was the secretary of the Sports Committee of the Jianghuai Provincial Team. He had visited her at the national team before and talked to her about some things about the competition.
I didn’t know the other two, but the old man sitting on the sofa looked quite imposing, wearing a Zhongshan suit with four pockets.
In the early days of the founding of New China in the 1950s, a folk song was still popular in many places.
"Xiaomi Gaoliang is enjoying the Zhongshan suit with four pockets."
It once became the most solemn attire for men. Later, after the reform and opening up of the country and increasing foreign exchanges, only the older generation would regard the Zhongshan suit as a nostalgia for their youth.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were talking about something." Zhu Qi was about to leave.
"We're just talking about your business. Come in." The old man waved at her. "Do you know who I am?"
"I don't know, but I can guess," said Zhu Qi.
"Oh? Guess?"
"Are you the head coach of the Bayi team?" Zhu Qi asked.
The old man narrowed his eyes with a slight smile.
He Qianlu waved towards Zhu Qi: "Baobao, come here. This is the head coach of the Bayi team, Commander Shi. This time we are here for your brother and..."
Zhu Qi's eyebrows lit up with joy: "Qin Shang is going to join the Bayi team?"
Very good.
She had never thought that Qin Shang would be favored, she was just trying her luck, but she didn't expect that the old man would actually favor her.
ha.
This kid's lazy days are over!
He Qianlu added: "With you."
"Me?" Zhu Qi was stunned, then overjoyed, but then doubt returned. "Doesn't the Bayi team accept female players?"
"Now that it's closed, are you going or not?" He Qianlu asked.
That's what I said.
Can Zhu Qi say no?
Of course she wants to go!
But...if she goes, won't she be separated from He Qianlu?
As long as players and coaches stay together for a long time, their skills and tactics are formed and they are familiar with each other, they will not be willing to change coaches.
When Xu Dong first started taking charge of Zhu Qi, it took some time for them to get used to each other. Fortunately, they both trusted each other from the beginning, so the adjustment period was relatively short and they quickly adapted to each other's rhythm.
But if you want to change teams, you must also change coaches.
She is currently innovating her technology, changing the original topspin technical system into a loop ball combined with fast attack. What if the coach changes and she doesn't see eye to eye?

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qi and the old man had the same idea.
The old man laughed heartily, stood up, patted He Qianlu on the shoulder with his folding fan, and said, "That's it, pack up and prepare to go to the capital."

If I have enough funds, I'd also like to create some group photos for screensavers and the like. Do you have any particular plot art you'd like to see? Feel free to order!
