Chapter 58 Popularity
Although the rhythm of the music was not fast, He Hui's skating speed on the ice rink was smooth and fast.
A smile appeared on He Hui's lips. She raised her left leg high behind her. Before the last two jumps, she even did a swallow pose effortlessly.
The beautiful swallow-style patrol started from one side of the field. Under the capture of the Flying Cat camera, He Hui slid across the long horizontal edge.
When he was halfway through the journey, He Hui changed his posture from the swallow pose to the back swallow pose, with his head facing upwards, and his eyes met with the flying cat on the track.
He Hui's tender yet resolute eyes penetrated Feimao's camera, causing the hearts of all those who were looking at him inexplicably in front of the screen to tremble.
"Ahhh, I was hit by the goose girl's killing eyes, I need CPR urgently!"
"I suddenly became nervous. I felt that I was very close to clean! I was a little out of breath..."
The audience off the stage were so nervous that their hands and feet were tense, but He Hui on the stage performed with ease.
There were no surprises, and tano's 3Lz and 3F were all executed perfectly.
After a short two-second break, He Hui began to complete the choreographed steps and straight-line steps that each contestant had to complete. A series of inside and outside blade changes perfectly matched the rhythm points hidden in the lyrical music, composing a Chinese-style Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
The series of steps left traces on the ice, and He Hui's coordinated dance moves broke through the air in front of them, moving forward without stopping.
"I dare say that just this short step is enough for many contestants to learn for three months. It looks light and graceful, but it's actually all internal strength!"
"I'm dying of laughter. Can you believe that the simplest jump in He Hui's program is 3F??"
At this point in the performance, there is only one last series of spins left in this free skating routine.
He Hui is like a chivalrous woman who retreats to the mountains after experiencing the love, hatred, and emotions of life. She changes her feet, squats, and turns in various beautiful postures, tightening her body as if returning to the original state of life.
The music stopped, He Hui knelt on one knee on the ice, opened his arms, and let his wide sleeves hang on both sides of his body.
Snap, snap, snap——
The applause mixed with shouts was about to blow the roof of the Capital Gymnasium off.
"He Hui's historic free skating set was perfectly clean, presenting a top-notch audio-visual feast to the audience at the scene and in front of the TV."
A good figure skating program is never a collection of jumps, but an interpretation of the perfect fusion of jumps, skating and music.
He Hui did this in the free skating, once again proving to the judges her comprehensive and impeccable technique.
"He Hui's BV in this free skating is as high as 82.25 points, which is nearly 4 points more than the quadruple set last season. It is the most difficult women's singles so far. Congratulations to He Hui! Thank her very much for letting us witness the rise of Chinese figure skating!" Bai Ying said with passion that made the listeners' hearts beat wildly.
On the ice rink, He Hui slowly stood up from the ice, smiled sweetly towards the referee, and a flower bloomed on her face.
He Hui didn't know whether the other party would approve of her program and let her score go to the next level, but she knew that she had fully demonstrated her current skills without any regrets.
It’s enough as long as you don’t regret making a program.
Lin Xiaoman put her arms around He Hui and patted her back quietly.
"It's already great, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Lin Xiaoman had seen He Hui's helplessness in the Wudi Cup, and had also witnessed He Hui's desperate efforts a month before the start of the China Cup.
She was afraid that He Hui would fall into the dead end of trying to improve her scores in a hurry.
"It's okay. I'm in a stable state of mind now."
He Hui smiled, holding an extra-large red fox doll in her arms, her chin resting on the fox's head, her eyes blinking, and her right hand playing with the fox's tail out of boredom.
"Ahhh, the girl is so cute! Isn't this too adorable?!"
"My heart is melting! Is Japan my next stop? I'll book a ticket right away!!"
"He Hui's free skating score is——"
"150.33! He Hui's free skating score exceeded 150 points! The technical score was 89.01, and the program content score was 61.32. After the two programs, He Hui's total score reached 223.35, and she is undoubtedly the champion!"
Sometimes the content of the programs in the races is distributed more conservatively, but He Hui still maintains the level.
"Not bad, not bad!" Lin Xiaoman wrapped her arms around He Hui and gave her a hug. "I think the effect of the double quadruple massage is quite good."
He Hui has higher requirements for himself. Since the goal is to beat the host country to win the Winter Olympics, this score is good, but it is impossible to have an absolute advantage over Tours.
She pouted and said, "Let's go back and see how to improve the stability of the 4Lz set."
Lin Xiaoman was in mixed feelings.
The audience would not calculate so meticulously, they only knew that their own player won the Women's Singles Championship of the China Cup by a large margin, bringing glory to the country and was extremely impressive.
So, as soon as He Hui stood up from her seat, the decibels of screaming from the audience automatically increased, as if they didn't want her to leave.
Lin Xiaoman teased: "You are very popular now!"
He Hui stopped and looked at the audience.
The audience noticed He Hui's actions and cheered again.
"It feels like if you keep watching, some people's voices will become hoarse." Lin Xiaoman was not joking. She could hear the heart-wrenching exertion in these shouts.
He Hui stuck out her tongue, waved goodbye to the camera, and left Kiss & Cry.
She walked back to the contestant channel and found a familiar face waiting for her.
——It’s about the spirit.
When Tan Ling met He Hui, she gave him a hug without saying a word.
Then, she put her hands on He Hui's shoulders, her eyes shining: "Congratulations on winning the championship, we will go to the podium together later!"
"Very good!"
When has the Chinese women's singles team ever had such a glorious moment? They had two of the three national flags. I can't help but get excited just by imagining it.
"But the awards ceremonies are scheduled together. Why don't we find a seat and watch the men's singles and doubles competitions first?"
The men's singles and pairs free skating competitions will be held next. After the first, second and third places are decided, the award ceremony will be arranged.
"Okay." He Hui nodded and agreed, "Then you go first, I'll go pack up, see you later."
*
But He Hui obviously hasn't realized how popular he is now, and how much chaos he would cause if he appeared in the audience at this moment.
When Lin Xiaoman realized what was happening and saw He Hui and Tan Ling sitting side by side on the big screen, she could not react in any other way except a helpless sigh.
Forget it, just hope there won’t be any safety accidents, Lin Xiaoman prayed in her heart.
Although the tickets for the stands were sold out as soon as they went on sale, the organizers still reserved a small area of mobile seats for the players and related personnel to watch the game.
As He Hui just started to make his way through the crowd, exclamations were heard everywhere.
If it weren't for the ice preparation phase between two games, many people would have left their seats to go to the bathroom or buy food and drinks, and the scene would have been even more chaotic.
He Hui had never felt that the journey to his seat was so long and tortuous.
In addition to the more reserved audience who excitedly took out their mobile phones to take pictures, there were also some people who directly stepped forward to stop people.
"He Hui, He Hui, can you sign an autograph for me? I really like you! You are my idol!"
The other person looked like a college student. He was holding a banner with her portrait and name printed on it. He blinked his wet eyes at her, making it difficult for her to refuse.
He Hui hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you have a pen?"
The other person seemed to have won a five million dollar prize. He frantically rummaged through his schoolbag and finally took out an eyebrow pencil from somewhere.
"I'm sorry... this is all I brought."
"It's okay, let's take this." He Hui took the eyebrow pencil with a smile and signed his name forcefully on the banner which was not easy to write on.
In my previous life, my signatures were mostly on contracts, but in this life, they are replaced with support items with my portrait printed on them. It feels a little strange.
After signing, He Hui returned the eyebrow pencil and the banner to the other party. As expected, she was so excited that she was speechless.
"Thank you, thank you..." After a while, the girl finally found her voice.
He Hui smiled and said, "Thank you for your likes."
"Oh, I want the girl's autograph, too."
"Then hurry up, the opportunity will never come again!"
......
He Hui's agreement made the other spectators excited, and the discussions became more and more open.
So, they also have a chance to sign autographs and take photos, right?!
Soon, many people began to move towards this side, the demand came like a tide, and the sound became louder and louder.
"He Hui, can I take a photo with you?"
"Can you sign an autograph for me?"
"Girl goose, I want to take a picture too!"
......
He Hui looked around and met pairs of eager eyes. He couldn't refuse.
She had no choice but to nod, agreeing to the fans' requests, smiling in front of the phone taking selfies, taking the paper and pen to sign, and slowly moving forward.
Although the progress was slow, everyone was still orderly at the beginning.
When He Hui was about to walk to the designated seat, an accident suddenly happened.
A little girl who looked about seven or eight years old was shouting He Hui's name and waving her hands frantically two rows above her.
He Hui heard the childish voice and subconsciously glanced at her. Unexpectedly, this made her even more excited, and she stepped directly from the upper row to the lower row, stepping on the unstable plastic stool.
Originally, this was not a problem, as people often used this method to avoid the crowd when looking for seats in the stadium. But the problem was that there were too many people who heard the news and came to chase their idol, and everyone was squeezing forward, making the scene more and more chaotic.
Suddenly, a pushing hand appeared from nowhere and pushed the girl to the side.
"Ah..." the girl screamed and fell on the plastic stool, losing her balance.
"Move aside!" He Hui frowned and shouted coldly, and the people around him were frightened and took a step back.
Please! If the stepped seats here fall down, not only will the girl herself be injured, but there are so many other spectators here, and it is likely to cause more accidents.
Subconsciously, He Hui rushed to the bottom of the stool and quickly caught the girl who was about to fall from a high place.
Due to inertia, He Hui took a step back while holding the girl.
But she quickly withstood the impact, and her right leg supported her body steadily. The girl in her arms should not have suffered any harm.
He Hui is an athlete. Although she looks slim and even a little thin as a figure skater, she is stronger than most people thanks to day-to-day physical training.
Her arms gave the girl a full sense of security.
"I'm sorry." He Hui looked at the girl who was so scared that she couldn't speak, and comforted her softly, "Are you okay?"
She was a little annoyed. If she had known that the scene might cause chaos, she would not have walked through the audience without any obstruction. Instead, she chose to wait until most people had dispersed and then quietly passed by.
The girl's ears turned red and she quickly stood up from He Hui's arms: "I, I'm fine! Thank you."
Her eyes were red and she shook her head like a little rabbit.
"I'm glad you're okay." He Hui's frown finally relaxed.
She took one look at the growing crowd and decided to leave immediately.
"This way, He Hui!" Tan Ling came through the crowd to pick her up, shouting her name and waving at her.
He Hui breathed a sigh of relief and quickly squeezed over there.
"Sorry, let's take photos and sign autographs next time." He Hui apologized to the fans around him, and under the leadership of Tan Ling, he quickened his pace and left the crowd.
"Oh, what a pity! I don't know when I will have this kind of opportunity next time."
"I decided to book a flight to Sochi now!"
......
There were rustling sounds all around, and for a long time, no one was willing to leave.
The girl who was rescued was staring at He Hui's receding back, standing there in a daze with red eyes.
Her name is Gao Yueyi, she is eight years old this year. She first went on ice at the age of three and has been studying figure skating professionally for more than four years.
When Gao Yueyi saw He Hui's performance on TV for the first time, she felt like her heart was shot by an arrow. She knew that this skater named He Hui was a figure skating genius and would be her goal.
She wants to stand on the highest international podium like He Hui, and win glory for the country like He Hui.
Gao Yueyi had never thought that she would have any intersection with He Hui, but today, when she saw her idol so close, she couldn't resist the impulse and rushed towards the idol.
The moment she lost her balance in the air, many images flashed through her mind. She even had the worst and most ridiculous thought: if she fell all the way onto the railing, would she still be able to continue practicing figure skating?
But He Hui suddenly appeared like a peerless hero.
She caught her when she was about to fall and gave her a strong and warm hug.
"Thank you..." Gao Yueyi murmured again.
Well, maybe one day, I can become teammates with my idol, right? She encouraged herself silently in her heart.
As for He Hui who saves people by instinct?
At this moment, she does not know how far-reaching an impact this flapping of wings of a butterfly will have on the Chinese figure skating world.
He Hui sat in the spectator seats reserved for the athletes, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long sigh of relief.
It was exhausting to make my way through the sea of enthusiastic people.
Tan Ling glanced at He Hui, whose eyes were empty, and teased with a smile: "Don't you have any idea of your popularity?"
You're bringing up all sorts of things. I almost had an accident today!
He Hui sighed again, his face wrinkled: "I dare not act rashly now."
"It seems like you sigh more off the court than on it, haha." Tan Ling's teasing intensity did not diminish.
"Forget it. I will definitely pay more attention next time." The more He Hui thought about it, the more frightened he became. "By the way, are Bian Jing and Sun Hongfang both going to play in this station?"
The topic quickly shifted from He Hui to the men's singles competition.
"Yes, China has also invited another male singles player, Yu Fei. He is considered a veteran, but his performance is not very good now." Tan Ling was in the national team before, and she is familiar with the personnel changes in the team. "So, this time it depends on whether Bian Jing or Sun Hongfang can have a chance to hold on to the stage."
"Are there any particularly strong players in this station?" He Hui doesn't know much about the current competition in men's singles figure skating. What he has heard and seen are basically from the ice shows in Japan in the past two years.
"In fact, everyone's configuration is similar. American Matthew Kevin only has one quadruple 4S, but his program content score is quite high. If we have to say who is better, it might be Russian Alexander, but he is not very stable."
Most of the time, He Hui listened quietly to Tan Ling's additional information, and gradually a general understanding emerged in his head.
"After the short program, Matthew Kevin ranked first, Bian Jing ranked second, Alexander ranked third, and Sun Hongfang made a mistake in the quadruple jump and only ranked fourth."
After Tan Ling finished speaking, she suddenly realized what was wrong with He Hui: "But don't you usually not care much about men's singles?"
He Hui thought that after training with the men's singles that day, she found that observing other people's quadruple jumps was quite useful. At least, she could explore everyone's characteristics from their different ways of exerting force and their postures in the air.
Taking the essence and discarding the dregs will help you practice more types of quads.
So, He Hui thought for a moment and answered seriously: "Learn from the foreigners?"
"Huh?" Tan Ling felt that the longer they had been together, the more her eccentric way of thinking seemed to be exposed.
"Yeah." He Hui nodded.
Tan Ling: “…”
The two chatted casually for a while, and the game on the field was finally about to begin.
"Please return to your seats, the men's singles free skating competition is about to begin."
......
After watching the performance of the first group of contestants, He Hui felt that it was not worth it for him to come here. The reason was that too many contestants fell and missed their jumps!
He Hui yawned: "So boring, why are they so unreliable..."
"Sun Hongfang will be in bed soon, he should be feeling better." Tan Ling comforted him, thinking that the picky nature of the eldest lady was indeed hard to change.
He Hui yawned again out of boredom and propped up his head to look towards the ice rink.
The only part that made He Hui stand up straight was the 4S at the beginning.
It's possible to stand still and it's also possible to slide out.
but......
"Isn't his 4S week number a bit ambiguous?" He Hui questioned with a fiery eye.
She thought of Bian Jing's complaints about Sun Hongfang's habit of turning around early to steal the ball, and she paid special attention to this point this time, and indeed found a more obvious movement.
"The falling ice doesn't look that outrageous, but it is a bit," said Tan Ling.
I don’t know why the referee couldn’t catch him, He Hui thought.
Sun Hongfang's music is a classical piece with a slow rhythm, but He Hui became more and more drowsy the more he watched it. Except for the 4S at the beginning, the rest of the performance can only be described as mediocre.
He is like a robot that performs the designated movements, seemingly completing them meticulously, but in fact, his understanding of music is close to zero. If we only evaluate him based on the completion of his jumps, except for the suspicion of cheating on the quadruple jump, his triple jumps, including the triple and a half axel, are all done well, and he has a certain capital to win the Olympics.
Tan Ling: "Looking at the score, he must have been caught."
He Hui: “But actually the score is okay.”
Bian Jing was drawn to be the last to perform. The current ranking is similar to the short program. Although Matthew Kevin made a small mistake, he continued to lead. Alexander performed well and won the second place. Sun Hongfang was third.
He Hui carefully observed Matthew Kevin and Alexander, and finally felt that it was not a waste. The two had their own technical moves, but they were different from the direction that the Chinese national team was currently studying.
Well, if I go back and watch some more video materials, maybe I can gain more.
As soon as Bian Jing stood on the court, the camera somehow swept across the women's singles champion and third place winner of this year's China Cup who were sitting side by side in the audience.
There was another round of screams in the venue.
He Hui and Tan Ling belatedly waved their hands in response.
Bian Jing was very surprised. He didn't pay attention to the screen at all, and naturally thought that the applause was encouragement to him. By accident, he is now full of confidence!
"Bian Jing's two 4T jumps are pretty good." He Hui's eyes lit up, "This seems to be more stable than what I saw two weeks ago."
"Yeah, his jumping configuration is similar to yours." Tan Ling sighed.
Bian Jing performed very well. After his jumping stability was improved, he did not lose his original advantage of jumping high and far. He stood out among the players like a dark horse.
"Clean!" Tan Ling knew that Bian Jing's mood changed depending on his mood. "It's rare."
"Could it be..."
Could it be that what Bian Jing and I said really worked?
"What?" Seeing that He Hui didn't continue, Tan Ling asked curiously.
He Hui shook his head: "Nothing."
Forget it, no matter whether he said it himself, or he figured it out, or he was just in a good mood today, the final result is good anyway.
Amid the cheers of the home fans, Bian Jing defeated the favorite to win the championship, Matthew Kevin, with a clean program.
The moment she saw the score on the screen, Tan Ling patted He Hui's thigh.
“Win?!!”
"Hiss——" He Hui sucked in a breath of cold air in pain. Ever since Tan Ling strengthened his physical fitness, his strength has become several times greater than before.
"Sorry." Tan Ling stuck out her tongue.
He Hui waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine.
"We really won the championship." He Hui was very emotional. When she saw Bian Jing crying with joy in the kiss & cry area, her heart was filled with emotion.
The audience seats at the Capital Gymnasium were completely boiling!
"Ahhh, Bian Jing! The champion!!"
"Oh my god! They won both the men's and women's singles championships at the Huaguo Cup at home? What a day it is today!!"
"I am crying my eyes out. I feel like there is hope for Sochi..."
*
The men's singles and doubles competitions came to an end one after another, and the China Cup competition also officially ended.
The women's singles champion and third place, the men's singles champion, the doubles champion and third place, the results of this China Cup simply exceeded everyone's expectations.
Even team leader Xu Qing did not expect that the Chinese team would win five medals, three of which were gold.
In the mixed interview area, a CCTV reporter asked: "How do you evaluate everyone's performance in this Huaguo Cup?"
Xu Qing, who was always calm and composed, couldn't hold back the tears that naturally welled up in her eyes, causing her throat to become choked.
call--
Xu Qing took a deep breath and regained his normal speaking state.
"The mission was accomplished beyond expectations. Every player played their best and brought one visual and auditory feast after another to Chinese ice hockey fans."
Xu Qing paused for a moment and continued, "I know that the Sochi Winter Olympics is coming soon, and everyone has high expectations for the national figure skating team. We will definitely try our best to prepare for the competition, and hope to give a satisfactory answer to the vast number of ice fans in the end!"
If we hear these organized official words that have been said countless times in normal times, we would probably be immune to them and just forget about them. However, after experiencing the wonderful performance in the China Cup and seeing Xu Qing choking up because of the true feelings, we were still moved by these words.
"To be honest, I used to think that Chinese figure skating was hopeless, but now, I suddenly have an inexplicable sense of self-confidence."
"It makes my blood boil, it's on fire."
"If you ask me, He Hui is really strong! Has anyone noticed that her free skating BV is higher than Bian Jing and Ma Xiu?! This is assuming that the men's singles have to do one more jump! It's incredible!"
"I originally thought that the future of women's singles was bleak due to the double encirclement of Russia, Europe and the United States, but now I think there is so much hope!!"
The mentality of the vast majority of the audience in the Capital Gymnasium was the same as that of netizens. They did not leave after the game, but were quietly waiting for the award ceremony to witness the glorious moment of raising the national flag and playing the national anthem.
*
Backstage, all the award-winning contestants who were preparing to go on stage were waiting in different areas of the same venue.
Bian Jing suddenly ran over from the men's singles waiting area and said excitedly: "He Hui, He Hui, I actually won the championship!"
"Congratulations!" He Hui smiled and gave her blessing, "You are one step closer to an Olympic spot."
"Hehe, it's mainly thanks to the advice you gave me." Bian Jing scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
He Hui was a little surprised. It turned out that his change was really due to his words?
"Actually, I didn't say anything?" He Hui didn't know how to understand the current situation.
She was only vaguely aware that the wind stirred up by her butterfly was growing stronger and farther away.
Bian Jing retorted with his eyes wide open: "No, for me, He Hui, your words are like a revelation, a wake-up call!"
It was a look of ardor as one looked at an idol, a look of unconditional trust in anyone.
He Hui blinked, decided to accept it, and gave a CEO-style encouragement: "Well, keep it up!"
He was just short of patting him on the shoulder.
"Okay! I will definitely try my best to get on the podium in Sochi!"
Bian Jing was still full of enthusiasm and cheerful like a carefree...puppy.
Under the arrangement of the staff, groups of contestants walked onto the newly laid out carpets. After He Hui sang the Chinese national anthem twice in a low voice backstage, he was finally called.
"He Hui, Anna, and Tan Ling, please prepare to go on stage."
Three people lined up in a row and were guided from the red carpet to the ice rink.
Almost as soon as they appeared, the audience welcomed their contestant with overwhelming cheers.
"He Hui!!" "Tan Ling!!"
Tan Ling had never seen such a popular scene before. She seemed to have returned to the reserved state she was when she first started out. She even waved conservatively while standing on the podium.
When the runner-up Anna stepped onto the podium, everyone cheered loudly, but compared to He Hui, she was only slightly inferior.
The host said with full energy: "Champion - He Hui!"
Amidst the doubled cheers, He Hui strode onto the highest podium and stood in the center with a bright smile.
Sure enough, the feeling of standing in the C position is the best!
Returning to the most dazzling position in the middle, He Hui felt much more relaxed. She stood on tiptoe and excitedly waved her hands towards the audience in all directions.
There were a lot of fans at the scene, covering the stands on all sides. He Hui was afraid of missing any fans and wanted to wave in a 360-degree surround.
He Hui's lively waving and interaction naturally made the ice fans shout her name more excitedly.
"Aaaah, I really want to go there right away, the girl is so cute!!"
"I've discovered that the goose girl is happiest when she's standing in the middle! I hope I can always live on the highest podium!"
This flag-raising ceremony was a little special for He Hui.
In the past, she was the only one singing along. But this time, she looked up and saw thousands of audience members singing the national anthem solemnly with her.
The creek is surrounded by the sea.
He Hui's singing voice was trembling for the first time. She and everyone else watched the national flag rise to the top and sang the last line of the lyrics.
Clap, clap, thunderous applause, the first adult Grand Prix race in He Hui's life came to an end.
Even though the award ceremony was over, the audience was still reluctant to leave. It was not until the announcement of the end of the ceremony was made again and again that everyone left one after another.
He Hui had a gold medal hanging around her neck. She had already completed the doping test and was waiting for Lin Xiaoman to leave together.
Five minutes later, Lin Xiaoman came hurriedly: "Sorry, someone talked to me for a while."
He Hui waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, took off the gold medal, and hung it around Lin Xiaoman's neck. He also considerately tidied up the long wavy hair that was pressed underneath.
Lin Xiaoman was startled: "For me?"
"Yes." He Hui nodded as a matter of course, "This is my first GP gold medal in my life. We agreed to win more gold medals together, and of course I have to hang it here with you."
"Thank you. I did contribute to this." Lin Xiaoman accepted it calmly and put her arm around He Hui's shoulders. "Let's go. Let's go home and have a good rest for two days. We have to fly to Japan without stopping."
"By the way, how do you transport those dolls you received?" Lin Xiaoman suddenly thought of the piles of red little foxes in the backstage and asked.
He Hui: "I called a truck to deliver them to my warehouse. I set up a room specifically for storing dolls. The dolls I received this time are very collectible."
"That's right. It's the first time after all."
*
Despite being a back-to-back battle of high intensity, He Hui went to the ice rink as usual the day before departure except for a short rest on the second day.
Lin Xiaoman raised her eyebrows: "The opponents in Japan should not be underestimated. Miranda seems to have picked up 3A again."
He Hui nodded to show that she understood. In addition to Diana Volkova and Eriko Sanada, who had played against each other, there was also Canadian player Maude Miranda, who was another active female singles player who had played in 3A besides her and Tours.
"So, we need to maintain our competitive form."
After winning the China Cup, He Hui's popularity entered a new stage.
Zhu Jianyong, who is in charge of administrative relations, has a deep understanding of this. Although He Hui was very popular when he was in the youth group, compared with the number of cooperation requests now, it is just a drop in the bucket.
Especially with the Sochi Winter Olympics approaching, many businesses have made arrangements in advance in order to take advantage of this favorable situation and have signed a number of promising athletes.
"Are you really not going to consider endorsing it? This is a national brand, and both sales and word of mouth are very good." Zhu Jianyong looked at the endorsement fee that was about to fly away, and tried to persuade He Hui again with mixed feelings.
But He Hui is not a helpless pawn, nor is he an unknown person who lacks money and fame.
She ruthlessly rejected Zhu Jianyong again: "Sorry, it's really not possible."
She even added a finishing move before leaving.
"If I really want to accept endorsements, I will probably focus on the He Group. After all, it doesn't sound good to accept work from a business rival, right?"
Miss, you are so amazing!
Well, the young lady is really amazing.
Zhu Jianyong felt sorry for his bonus: "......"
*
After finishing the routine training, He Hui returned home and planned to pack his luggage for the competition in Japan. After all, he was a trapeze artist every day in his previous life, so He Hui was quite used to it.
But she found that there was more than one person in the family packing their luggage.
"Mom? Sister? What are you doing...?"
A strange premonition arose in He Hui's heart.
"I'm going to watch your game." Lu Yanfeng had an international academic forum a while ago, which happened to coincide with the Huaguo Cup. She was particularly upset that she couldn't witness her daughter's first stop in her growth. "I definitely can't miss it this time!"
He Hui was touched and turned around to see Lu Xing also coming out with a suitcase.
"What about you? Are you cheering me on too?" He Hui thought, the sun is rising from the west?
"I'm going to Tokyo to have some fun." Lu Xing smiled sweetly, "Well... let's take a look at how my skirt looks on the court."
"Yeah, it's to cheer me up." He Hui looked at his sister's familiar look of saying one thing but doing another and teasing her deliberately.
As expected, Lu Xing got furious.
“That’s not encouragement! Humph, you don’t need my encouragement, do you?” Lu Xing turned his back and snorted proudly.
"Stop teasing her." Seeing the two sisters bickering, Lu Yanfeng couldn't help but come out to mediate.
Unexpectedly, the two of them snorted again, turned around and went back to their rooms.
Lu Yanfeng was left alone, silent: "......"
*
The next day, He Hui went with the team.
By the time He Hui arrived at the hotel to rest, Lu Yanfeng and Lu Xing were already shopping in Ginza.
Especially little Lu Xing, who probably wanted to get back at the opponent on purpose and sent He Hui several photos of them playing together.
Lu Xing: "Let me help you try this Michelin restaurant first, you better train well."
He Hui saw those pictures at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night and felt mixed emotions.
She really wanted to let Lu Xing take over all of her Costen for the next season and the season after that to vent her anger!!
So, He Hui decided not to reply to the message, turned off his phone, and fell asleep.
The next day, He Hui continued to turn off his phone and gave Lu Xing the cold shoulder.
However, on the way to the venue with Tan Ling, He Hui learned a piece of good news.
Tan Ling asked excitedly, "Do you know the global sports brand Noka?"
He Hui nodded. Noka has the largest market share in sportswear in the world, and its operations in China are also booming.
"Nuokai wants to sign me!" Tan Ling shared with great excitement, "A five-year contract. I have inquired about the price offered, and it is quite good."
"!" He Hui's eyes lit up.
She had previously thought that Tan Ling had a new endorsement, but she didn’t expect it to be Noka!
He Hui was happy for Tan Ling from the bottom of his heart: "That's a good opportunity! Noka signs top athletes in every event. If the conditions are good, don't miss it. If you need someone to look at the specific contract details, I can ask the lawyer I work with."
Tan Ling chuckled: "In fact, Coach Zhu and the team have helped find someone to take a look at it, and they said there is no problem. So, I signed the contract a week ago. Sorry, sorry, I was too busy during the China Cup, so I forgot to tell you about it."
He Hui thought, no wonder Tan Ling has been in such a good mood these past two weeks. Indeed, money can make people full of fighting spirit.
"When you have a good opportunity, you must seize it immediately." He Hui affirmed Tan Ling's approach, "It seems that I can see you in the poster, right?"
"Hehe, it seems so!" Tan Ling's eyes were shining all the time when talking about the cooperation with Nuokai.

On the first competition day of the Tokyo NHK Cup, Noka took advantage of the popularity and officially announced the signing of Tan Ling on Weibo.

Thus, without He Hui and Tan Ling knowing anything, some strange voices gradually appeared on the Internet.
"Am I being too conspiracy-minded? He Hui is obviously the most popular one in the team, why hasn't there been any official announcement of endorsements?"
"It's really a bit strange. Not only Tan Ling, but Bian Jing has also been promoting an advertisement during this period."
"Could it be... there's something fishy about He Hui that hasn't been exposed? Or is there something fishy about the He Group? Could it be tax evasion?"
"Damn, I think what the above person said makes sense."
