60 Personnel Transfer
◎If possible, I would like to visit your hometown.◎
Zhu Qi seriously analyzed the problems that Song Linzhou encountered in the finals, such as his shots were not decisive enough, several chances were missed by Kazi, but his shots were particularly good starting from the third game.
Song Linzhou said it simply, just one sentence.
——"I believe she will surpass all the ancients who came before her, and she will be the first one who will never be surpassed."
This is a bit too much praise.
Although Zhu Qi himself is also working towards this goal...
The interview is over.
Xu Dong carried a suitcase with two trophies in it, and there was still a little space inside for Zhu Qi and Song Linzhou to put their golf bags in.
On the way back, Xu Dong discovered that the coaching staff had left only one bicycle for the three of them. After thinking for a moment, Xu Dong said to Song Linzhou, "You two can ride your bicycles back to the hotel. I'll carry the suitcases and take the bus."
The two children nodded.
On the way back, they saw another man selling roasted sweet potatoes.
When Song Linzhou walked over, he spoke Cantonese quite fluently and asked for two pieces of what the locals call sweet potatoes.
"How do you speak Cantonese?" Zhu Qi asked.
"Fat Tiger taught me a few words," he said.
But Zhu Qi saw that this guy's fluency in Cantonese didn't seem like he only knew a few words.
A top student is humble.
Sitting on the back of a bicycle and eating sweet potatoes, Zhu Qi lamented how time flies. It has been three years since he joined the national team without realizing it.
When I first came to the national team, many of the old players are no longer with us. Batch after batch of players left, some went back to school, some found a coaching job locally, or started their own gym.
When He Qianlu called her some time ago, he also said that a little girl with great talent and good touch came from Jianghuai Province. She was only 12 years old.
Her right-handed horizontal racket playing style is very similar to Zhu Qi's. Other people on the Jianghuai Provincial Team call that girl "Little Zhu Qi".
He Qianlu also said on the phone: "I will train her for another two years, and send her to the national youth training camp when she is 14 years old. Then you can see what her qualifications are."
Zhu Qi was very curious. He hadn't heard He Qianlu mention it the last time he went back to Jianghuai Province. He was busy transferring to the Bayi Team. Otherwise, he would have definitely met this mini version of himself.
The sunset, as round as an egg yolk, hung overhead, with a few stars peeking out from the endless burning clouds. Several residential buildings nearby had their edges softened by the flaming sunset.
In such an evening filled with the atmosphere of fireworks, even the cold wind whistling in my ears becomes lovely.
She almost forgot what kind of scenery she saw when she was eighteen years old in her previous life.
After the National Table Tennis Championships, she became very famous.
The youngest gold medal winner at the age of 15.
At the age of 17, he stood on the podium of the World Games and raised the national flag.
Apart from Ren Xinhua who won it at the age of 17, she is also the youngest winner of the "Miriam" Cup.
If I can win the singles championship at the Moscow World Games.
She will become the youngest women's singles champion in the World Games and the youngest Grand Slam winner at the age of 21 in history.
It seems that as soon as Zhu Qi debuted, he was always associated with "the" of something.
Seeing Zhu Qi eating very seriously, Song Linzhou, who was pedaling in front, asked curiously: "You like sweets very much, is it because the taste of Jianghuai people is sweet?"
"Not really, I just like sweet things."
"I heard that Jianghuai always has a market the day after the Lantern Festival. What do you do at the market?"
"Just eating and drinking, and buying some peanut candy, fried glutinous rice balls, and the like for the kids at home."
He shook his head, his eyes full of longing: "The scenery must be great too."
"It's okay. It's a coastal city, the air is quite humid, it rains frequently, and there are lots of beaches and fishing boats. The sunsets and sunrises at the beach are beautiful too."
"Is there a boat?"
"Well, when I was 10, I went to the harbor for a boat ride with my uncle, aunt, and Qin Shang's parents. Qin Shang was only 9 at the time, at the age when people dislike him. He ran around and accidentally fell into the sea. When the lifeguard pulled him out, he kept hugging me and crying. Since then, he has been very afraid of water and still dares not swim."
"You and your brother have a very good relationship. He often tells stories about your time in the provincial team. He is very proud every time he mentions you playing in a competition outside," he said.
"Yes, when he was seven and I was eight, we were living independently in the city team. When I was ten, I joined the provincial team, and the following year he followed me, and then we joined the national team together... We depended on each other for many years. He was very attached to me, and he would do whatever I did. It was because of me that he started to practice table tennis, my little brother..." Zhu Qi murmured.
She once had a younger brother, but that brother never treated her as a sister.
When she was in bed after the car accident, it was her younger brother who first suggested to her stepmother: "She's going to die like this anyway, so it's useless to spend money. The man who hit her looked very rich. If he died, he would definitely be able to extort a lot of money. I'm still a long way from the betrothal money."
She had also been kind to her younger brother with all her heart, and she had raised him little by little before he was fifteen years old.
Why not give her even a little hope of survival?
They are the living ghosts of the previous life and the nightmares of this life.
Even though there is no information about them now, they are still like dust in the lungs, stuck in the chest and may reappear at any time.
She will reach the highest position and those people will never be able to catch up with her in their lifetime.
It's getting darker and darker.
The street lights were all lit up.
"What a coincidence, I've never been to the beach," he said with a smile.
Zhu Qi was a little surprised.
Has the young master of the Beijing team never even been to the beach?
Isn't his family quite rich?
"My father used to be a doctor and my mother was a school teacher. They were laid off and started their own business, constantly traveling to make a living. Once our family's finances improved a bit, they started training me in table tennis. After I joined the city sports school, their work became even busier. Growing up, I was constantly running between gyms and courts, constantly leaving after a match to play the next one. I never even had time to go out and play."
Zhu Qi sighed a little.
Athletes are all like this.
Where is the time for myself?
Although I visited many cities, I only went between hotels and stadiums, and had no time to experience the local customs and culture.
Speaking of which, Zhu Qi hasn't gone out to play for a long time. During the Tokyo World Games, A Shui was still clamoring to go see the cherry blossoms, but in the end he didn't even have time to look at the branches of the trees and had to rush back on the plane.
Damn it.
After she retires with all the honors, she will definitely have fun and enjoy life!
The young man raised his head slightly to bathe in the fleeting light, the full moon in the sky reflected in his eyes, and spoke in a serious tone that made the wind chuckle.
"If possible, I would like to visit your hometown."
Home...
Jianghuai Province did not attach much importance to table tennis before, nor did it actively apply to host table tennis competitions, so there were no competitions that could be held in Jinling.
Zhu Qi suddenly remembered that it had been four months since he left home after the college entrance examination.
Athletes are warriors on the march.
Every minute and every second does not belong to you.
What's more, players like Zhu Qi who joined the Bayi team have already given themselves to the country.
/
The national table tennis tournament is over.
Both Holy Grails were successfully taken back by the Chinese national table tennis team.
But Ren Xinhua didn't look as happy as expected.
On the plane, she told Foye and Shige, "North Korea's Xilingen and Japan's Matsukaze will be the biggest rivals of the women's and men's teams in the future."
Foye and Shi Ge both nodded. Ren Xinhua continued, "Xi Ling'en still lacks some skills in various aspects. In her match with Bao Bao, Xi Ling'en actually made some mistakes, which Bao Bao seized upon. But I think that in three years' time in Moscow, she will definitely make greater progress compared to this National Table Tennis Championships."
Buddha sighed after hearing this. Although Maomao was back, Lao Cun said that this girl always ignored the doctor's advice and did extra exercises during her recovery period, which was really a headache.
A Shui hasn't mastered it yet, and he always runs out of breath when playing basketball.
Not to mention the new little girls like Sasa and Youyou, they are nowhere to be found.
In this case, the only person the team can rely on is Zhu Qi.
There will be a mixed team event at the National Table Tennis Championships in May next year, so we need to prepare well.
The cat doesn't know if it can catch up.
When Mr. Buddha returned to the hotel to look for Maomao, Maomao said without hesitation: "Yes! I can go!"
Buddha knew that Maomao would definitely say that he could go, but whether he could go or not depended on Maomao's recovery.
After a year of rest, Maomao's world ranking dropped five places, while Zhu Qi, who had just won the National Table Tennis Championships, jumped to the world number one, and was more than a thousand points ahead of the second place.
Although he is in Los Angeles, Maomao has always been paying close attention to domestic competitions, staying up all night every day to watch Asian competitions based on US time.
During the nearly ten months she was away, Zhu Qi grew rapidly.
Maomao knew that he had fallen behind, and only by training and recovering to normal could he participate in the mixed team table tennis competition.
Chang Hongxia knew Maomao's feelings because she had also been through Maomao's age.
Every day in the national team is changing with each passing day, and every person undergoes earth-shaking changes with each passing day.
Even the house I bought with Zhu Qi at the beginning of the year has increased from 1,450 yuan per square meter to 3,000 yuan per square meter.
Housing prices in Beijing are rising, people's incomes are rising, and the population is rising... Everything is different from when I left.
Maomao knew in his heart that if he could fight Zhu Qi on equal terms before the operation, now it was 30-70 and he might not even have a chance of winning.
Not to mention a talented player like Baobao who is making rapid progress.
It's A Shui, who has made great progress during the time when Maomao was away.
Although he didn't play well in the individual World Table Tennis Championships, he is completely different from A Shui who could only qualify as a sparring partner last year. It is already amazing that he can reach the quarterfinals of the National Table Tennis Championships.
Chang Hongxia could only comfort her: "I know you are anxious, but the last thing you can do now is to be anxious. You finally have the opportunity to recuperate, you must be completely recovered before fighting, otherwise you will be like me when you arrive in Moscow..."
Chang Hongxia was like that back then. She hadn't fully recovered from her knee surgery but she still had to play with an injection, which resulted in new injuries adding to the old ones.
The cat could only nod.
After returning to Chaojing.
Gao Xiaofeng, who had retired for a year, was specially hired back into the national team as the head coach of the men's team.
Chang Hongxia officially handed over the position of captain of the women's team to Maomao, retired and transformed into a coach of the women's team.
Zhu Qi and A Shui were very happy.
Whether in terms of age, seniority or strength, Maomao is the most suitable person to be the captain.
In fact, before Maomao was confirmed as the captain, Xu Dong came to find Zhu Qi once and asked her if she was interested in the position of captain of the women's team.
Zhu Qi shook his head like a rattle, showing no interest at all.
She didn't want to take care of the team's eating, drinking, defecating and urinating at all. It was too much trouble.
In fact, both Ren Xinhua and Chang Hongxia prefer Maomao to be the captain.
Xu Dong felt that if Zhu Qi could become the captain, he could get an extra salary.
So if Zhu Qi is interested in the captain, she can go and talk to Ren Xinhua.
Since Zhu Qi himself doesn't want to be Xu Dong, forget it. It's better for him to practice basketball peacefully.
"Brother Xiaofeng is back, Maomao is back too, and Sister Xia didn't leave the team like Sister Shushu did. Wow—the national team feels lively again!" Ah Shui couldn't stand the loneliness the most, so he hugged Maomao and Zhu Qi and rubbed against them. "Oh no, you can't call Maomao that anymore, you have to call him Captain~"
"Come on, you're so cheesy." Maomao pinched Ah Shui's face. "A new cycle has begun, you have to work hard too. We agreed to shine in Moscow together!"
Ah Shui rubbed his face and said firmly, "This National Table Tennis Championships has reminded me that I can't just stay under your wings like a little chicken! I want to fight too! I want to raise the national flag too! I want to fight for the Grand Slam too!"
Zhu Qi was very pleased: "That's right, Song Linzhou can beat Brother Kazi with a straight bat, and you can also use your special fighting style to kill Jin Lili in seconds."
"Okay! I must get rid of this anger myself!" Ah Shui stood up and shouted with his fist clenched.
Maomao held A Shui's hand, A Shui held Zhu Qi's hand, and Zhu Qi held Maomao's hand.
It was as if the cat had never left, and the three of them returned to each other's side.
/
To celebrate the national team's assembly, Maomao's return, and Zhu Qi's victory.
Xu Dong, Chang Hongxia and several girls from the women's team booked a small private room for coaches in the South Canteen, ordered a few dishes and even a bottle of beer.
"Everyone take a small sip and don't drink too much." Chang Hongxia poured half a cup for each of the children.
Zhu Qi asked Maomao: "Can you drink it?"
"Sure, it won't get in the way." said Maomao.
"It's okay to drink a little. I've secretly drunk it when I was playing basketball before. This doesn't have the effect of alcohol." Xu Dong said with a smile.
As soon as the steaming hot dishes were served, everyone raised their glasses, smiling and ready to eat several kilograms of food.
Watching the girls in front of him clinking glasses, Zhu Qi was pulled by Ah Shui and Maomao to whisper something, the three of them bursting into laughter. Chang Hongxia's ulterior motives were also exposed. She pulled Xu Dong aside and whispered in his ear: "Old Xu, we've been friends for so many years. I've never asked you for anything, right? You must agree this time!"
Xu Dong immediately became alert: "What are you doing?"
"I want to ask you for someone." Chang Hongxia blinked. "Hehe, this time I really have to let you give up."
New coaches must select players and strengthen the combat effectiveness of their team as soon as possible.
The second national team has not yet recruited new players, and the good ones have already been picked up by other coaches.
Xu Dong also wanted two girls, Zuo Zuo and You You.
The remaining children...are all of average talent.
Xu Dong's eyes widened: "You don't want to be violent, do you? No way!"
"I do want to, but Baobao is your precious child, whom you've raised for three years. Seeing as he just won the 'Miriam' cup, you definitely won't be willing to give it to him. So... I want Ah Shui."
"A Shui isn't any good either!" Xu Dong jumped up. "She's also one of my best players. I'm going to train her to play women's doubles!"
In fact, before Chang Hongxia came to find Xu Dong, Ren Xinhua first went to find Chang Hongxia.
Ren Xinhua thought A Shui could be moved from Xu Dong's group to Chang Hongxia's, and analyzed the pros and cons: "A Shui's poor performance in this National Table Tennis Championships is partly due to Xu Dong putting almost all his energy on Bao Bao. A coach's energy is also limited, with three or four training sessions a day... A coach is not always strong..."
"...The chairman said that your energy is limited. Seeing that Baobao has won the Miriam Cup, he's aiming for a Grand Slam in the future. A training session lasts three hours, and you spend two and a half hours with Baobao, leaving Ah Shui to share the remaining half hour with the others. This isn't conducive to Ah Shui's improvement."
Xu Dong thought about it and felt that what Chang Hongxia said made sense.
She knew that Ah Shui was deeply traumatized by his loss to Jin Lili in the National Table Tennis Championships. Although Ah Shui had a smile on his face, he was still feeling the pain of defeat. When no one was talking, Ah Shui would still be stunned and sigh.
She also wanted to comfort A Shui, but Bao Bao needed to arrange the subsequent training plan himself, and really couldn't spare the time to train another absolute main force.
After Chang Hongxia made this suggestion, Xu Dong thought about it seriously.
If she hadn't focused all her energy on Baobao and had treated A Shui equally, perhaps A Shui wouldn't have lost to Jin Lili.
Now Zhu Qi has won the "Miriam" Cup again and will compete in the Moscow World Games in the future. He certainly has no time to care about A Shui.
He felt relieved to leave Ah Shui to Chang Hongxia. After all, given the relationship between him and Hongxia, Ah Shui and Zhu Qi would not become estranged.
This plan works!
Ah Shui was enjoying his meal, desperately shoveling sweet and sour pork into his mouth. When he heard that Chang Hongxia wanted to transfer him to her group, he was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Why? I'm doing well with Coach Xu. I want to stay in the same group with Bao Bao~"
"Don't mention the relationship between me and Lao Xu. The people in my group are equivalent to her people. Coming to my place won't prevent you and Baobao from practicing together as usual." Chang Hongxia said.
A Shui thought about it and was very tempted, but he was reluctant to leave Xu Dong, who had been with him for three years.
I was in a dilemma for a moment.
Receiving Ah Shui's gaze, Zhu Qi nodded: "I think it's okay. If you move to Sister Xia's team, you will be a veteran team member. Sister Xia will definitely take better care of you. It's a good fit!"
The matter was settled.
The next day, the first personnel transfer notice of the Moscow cycle was posted on the bulletin board outside the auditorium.
Now that the personnel are basically confirmed, the next step is to make every effort to compete in the Moscow World Games.
Ren Xinhua remained calm. While everyone was immersed in the joy of winning the "Miriam" Cup and the "Pembroke" Cup, he secretly observed the children in the team.
Several of the team's absolute main players seem to have something on their minds.
Ah Shui was unhappy because he lost to Jin Lili, Maomao was anxious to recover and wanted to play as soon as possible, Daxiong lost to Songfeng Yidou again and was depressed, Qin Xiaoba was laughing all day long, and Song Linzhou was still getting used to Gao Xiaofeng after following him...
Ren Xinhua knew all these reasons.
But Zhu Qi...
I also feel like something is on my mind.
The Moscow cycle is very important.
We didn’t perform well in the Tokyo World Games, and the General Administration of Sports issued two criticisms. We will win back all the lost gold medals in the Moscow World Games!
To be on the safe side, Ren Xinhua handed Zhu Qi over to the office, and even went to the entrance of the alley to buy a box of peach cakes that young people loved to eat. He put it on the coffee table and sat face to face with Zhu Qi to chat.
Zhu Qi didn't know why Ren Xinhua asked her to come over. There were no competitions recently... She could only eat peach cakes while chatting with Ren's mother.
Maomao also brought a piece of news when he came back this time.
"Maomao said that when she was in Los Angeles, she heard that the United States was forming a table tennis team and was planning to vigorously develop the sport. I guess we'll have more and more opponents in the future..."
Zhu Qi was stunned. He had never heard of this. Americans have always disliked participating in such skill-based sports. They are better at track and field, swimming, hurdles, and the like...
Table tennis in the United States has never been very famous and is considered an 18th-tier sport.
It was organized once in the early 1960s, but was completely suppressed by the Chinese team and has never participated in any large-scale competitions since then.
I had never heard of it in my previous life. The world has always been divided into four parts by Japan, South Korea, Russia and North Korea.
I guess we can’t organize it this time.
Zhu Qi didn't take it seriously.
But Ren Xinhua takes it very seriously.
"I heard that it was the United States that proposed the International Table Tennis Federation change from small balls to large balls. The Americans never do anything that is useless to them."
Zhu Qi shuddered when he heard this.
really.
This is the nature of Americans.
Otherwise, why impose sanctions on Chinese table tennis for no reason?
If that's the case... wouldn't the United States have started planning to compete with the Chinese team for the gold medal eight years ago?
Ren Xinhua said with a smile, "Baobao, your current task is to play well in the competition. If you have any concerns outside of the competition, you can tell me and your coach Xu, and we will do our best to help you resolve them."
After hearing this, Zhu Qi knew why Ren Xinhua called him over.
I have to say that the top leader of the national team has a keen eye, and the condition of the kids in the team is also in good hands.
It was this sentence that made Zhu Qi hesitate for a moment before speaking to Ren Xinhua, and he simply and clearly described his life before the age of six.
She also told Song Linzhou that someone called the national team looking for her, but she didn't reveal who she was.
Judging from his gender and accent, it might be Su Zhihao, the man who had long disappeared from her life.
Ren Xinhua had read Zhu Qi's file and knew that Zhu Qi was called Su Qi before he was six years old. After he turned six, he went to live with his uncle and changed his name to his mother's surname.
She was from the 1950s, so what kind of strange families had she not seen?
As soon as Zhu Qi opened his mouth, Ren Xinhua guessed what the people in that family were planning.
Zhu Qi is now very famous and has appeared on the front pages of major newspapers many times.
It's normal to be attacked by a group of blood-sucking leeches.
Ren Xinhua nodded and patted Zhu Qi on the shoulder. "I understand. Don't worry! The national team is heavily guarded. No one inside can leave, and no one outside can come in. You've always been accompanied by your coach and team doctor. They wouldn't have the guts to come after you. It's just a harassing phone call. I'll tell Sister Zheng at the phone booth to forward any calls like this to my office next time."
Zhu Qi was not afraid of anything.
Now I am no longer a six-year-old child.
Nor was he a cripple lying on a hospital bed in his previous life, at the mercy of others.
She just didn't want to waste her time dealing with people like that; they weren't qualified.
After Ah Shui joined Sister Xia's team, Coach Xu began training Zhu Qi with full concentration, assigning her a ton of new serving strategies. He practiced five times a day, even watching and analyzing videos of outsourced matches while eating.
Anyone who dares to delay her training will be struck by lightning!
/
After knowing Zhu Qi's concern, Ren Xinhua also breathed a sigh of relief.
She was not afraid that the children had worries, but she was afraid that these children had worries but didn't say them out loud.
I told you this in advance so that I can have a general idea in my mind and help keep an eye on it.
Part of the reason why Da He was raped was because he was injured, but he didn't tell anyone and just endured it and went to see a physical therapist.
Especially for someone like Zhu Qi, who is seventeen or eighteen years old, he is in the stage of adulthood but not fully grown up.
On the one hand, I have my own ideas, but on the other hand, I handle them imperfectly. I like to keep everything to myself, and what I fear most is that I have too many ideas.
But Zhu Qi is very mature after all, and he knows that communication between coaches and players is very important.
It’s not her fault anyway, so speaking out before anything happens can save her from being exposed later.
Once you know the "symptoms", you can directly "prescribe the right medicine".
Ren Xinhua called the coaches over again for a routine meeting and preparations for the national table tennis mixed team competition in May next year.
"The International Table Tennis Federation has once again adjusted the players for the mixed team competition after the Tokyo World Games. The ITTF members have agreed to it and it will be implemented starting this year." Ren Xinhua placed the notification letter in front of each coach.
As expected.
The coaches had frowns on their faces.
Change again?
Why change it again?
From small ball to big ball, from best of five to best of seven, and from 21-point system to 11-point system.
Almost every event is aimed at the Chinese team. This time the mixed team competition format has been changed... It is probably also aimed at the Chinese team.
Ren Xinhua kept the meeting very simple and straightforward. He didn't like wasting time on empty talk, so he simply summarized it in one sentence: "In the past, mixed teams had four men and four women, and three of those four would compete in each match. One person would sit out and be used as a smokescreen. Now, it's been changed to three men and three women, and only these three can compete in each match."
The coaches sighed in relief.
It’s okay, it’s not a change that will particularly damage the Chinese team’s lifeline.
It is probably Ren Xinhua's deployment of troops in the Tokyo mixed group that scared the outsourcing people.
After all, he is an epic veteran who has appeared in world competitions since 1953. Ren Xinhua's ability to capture the psychology of foreign players is so accurate that he can successfully guess the other party's thoughts every time.
Reduce the number of people from four to three.
In any case, there are only three participants, which can save the outsourcing staff some trouble.
Moreover, there are not that many capable players from the foreign associations, so it is too difficult to get four of them.
"Team competitions have always represented a country's true level, not a battle for individual glory. Although Baobao and Daling won the individual table tennis titles, we must also wrest the mixed team 'Alessi' Cup back from Sweden!"
After Ren Xinhua finished speaking, the coaches nodded collectively in agreement.
Shi Ge asked again, "Then let's follow the old rules for the mixed group's roster. Lao Jiang and I will submit one to you first. Will you make the final decision?"
That's a problem.
In fact, Ren Xinhua already had a rough list of players in mind. There was no need to talk about the women's table tennis, and the men's table tennis...
/
Ten minutes later.
The national table tennis player A Shui rushed into the training hall with the latest news.
The voice came before the person arrived.
"Big news! The coaches are organizing a men's and women's battle of the sexes!"
【Author’s words】
The exciting big game is over, and I have a short happy ping pong game hahahaha. I don’t know if you like watching the training routine [covering my face and peeking]
Today's nothing.
