Arriving at the gymnasium with high morale, Zhao Si and Gu Lingfeng got out of the car proudly, and then saw Zhang Chenggang who had been waiting for them at the door for a long time.
Zhao Si had a special liking for these older men who were kind to him, because he felt they were all very much like his master, so Zhao Si gave Zhang Chenggang a warm hug, which stunned him.
Speaking of old men, Uncle Chen, who had been detained in the police station waiting for Zhao Si to express his position, was finally released two days ago. Although he was cheated badly, Zhao Si was still grateful to the man who helped him when he was down, otherwise he might be even more miserable.
However, Zhao Si really couldn't stand this kind of fraudulent behavior, and couldn't bear the humiliation of having his sincerity wasted, so he asked Uncle Chen to return all the money he had defrauded and did not pursue any other responsibilities. He only left him 10,000 yuan as a reward for his care for him.
Uncle Chen was filled with regret, immense regret. He regretted that he had been so shortsighted that he hadn't realized Zhao Si was a talented person. If he had known he was so promising, why would he have lied to him? It would have been much better if he had just clung to Zhao Si's thighs and waited for his retirement...
"Coach Zhang, long time no see! This is Gu Lingfeng, my...good friend!" Zhao Si gave Zhang Chenggang a warm hug and introduced Gu Lingfeng to him with a smile.
"Hello, Coach Zhang. We've met before."
"Hello, hello." Zhang Chenggong smiled at Gu Lingfeng, pinched Zhao Si's arm, and nodded with satisfaction. "That's the good thing about being young. You're in good health and full of energy!"
"Coach, you're not old!" Zhao Si was very sweet, especially to the elderly.
"Hahaha, yes, I'm not old. Come on, go in, I'll tell you..."
Zhang Chenggang took Zhao Si by the hand and told him which leaders were there, which coaches from other sports did not believe in his judgment and insisted on coming to watch the fun, and which athletes were not satisfied with him being an airborne soldier who came to monitor the results. He told Zhao Si to perform well and win glory for him!
After saying that, Zhang Chenggang was afraid that Zhao Si would be nervous due to pressure, so he quickly told him to relax. He said that there was no problem with his strength, and he could just treat those people as pillars and run boldly.
Gu Lingfeng followed Zhao Si and Zhang Chenggang inside. Wow, there were quite a lot of people. Aside from a few elderly men and women who looked like leaders, the rest were all young men. There was also a guy in a wheelchair. Gu Lingfeng didn't recognize him, but he guessed he was the first-place finisher in the trials, the national team's most capable player.
Gu Lingfeng always sees beauty in his lover. Anyway, he felt that the man was definitely not as capable as Zhao Si.
Zhang Chenggang took Zhao Si to introduce all the leaders, this director, that director, this coach, that coach, and said hello to everyone else. Then, without any further delay, he took him to do warm-up exercises, first moving his hands and feet, and then jogging a lap.
At the starting line, Zhao Si recalled the unprofessional starting posture he learned from a variety show. His eyes were firm and focused, staring at the finish line in the distance. That would be one of the most important goals in his life, and he could only succeed and not fail.
With a bang of the signal gun, Zhao Si rushed out like a cheetah pouncing on its prey, with the determination to build Wuming and the fighting spirit to win the Olympic championship!
Zhao Si raced down the track, his steps steady and powerful, his long hair flying high, a messy yet unique energy. The 100 meters were over in the blink of an eye, and everyone's eyes were glued to Zhao Si, following him as he ran. As he crossed the finish line, their gazes shifted to Zhang Chenggang.
Aside from major competitions, manual timing was generally used during training. Zhang Chenggang quickly pressed the stopwatch the moment Zhao Si crossed the finish line. His hands were shaking with excitement. He knew Zhao Si's result would be good, but he was actually a little afraid to look.
"Lao Zhang! Why are you standing there? Look! How much is it?"
"Oh!" Zhang Chenggang was snapped out of his trance by the yelling. He looked down and mumbled, "9.85 seconds."
After reading it, Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then confirmed it again, and suddenly shouted excitedly, "9.85 seconds! It's really 9.85 seconds! Zhao Si, you ran 9.85 seconds!!!"
This time it was Zhang Chenggang's turn to hold Zhao Si. If he wasn't so old, he would have wanted to hold Zhao Si and run two laps. Zhao Si looked at Zhang Chenggang, who was so excited that he almost cried, and felt both happy and confused. He didn't really have any idea about the result, but seeing Zhang Chenggang so excited, it must be a good result, right?
“9.85 seconds!”
"It's really 9.85 seconds!"
As soon as Zhang Chenggang finished reading the results, the atmosphere erupted. The leaders and coaches, unable to maintain their stern expressions, beamed with joy. The coaches from other sports who had come to watch the excitement were all jealous of Zhang Chenggang. How had he managed to snag such a gem? He'd heard this guy was also quite skilled in other sports, so why not try to lure him over to their team?
The unconvinced young men were also convinced, and even those in wheelchairs stood up excitedly. They were not stupid enough to think that Zhang Chenggang would cheat for Zhao Si. This was a sacred sports field, and all achievements were based on strength and sweat.
While Zhang Chenggang was excitedly talking to his leader and coach, the young men surrounded Zhao Si, congratulating and praising him in an admiring and familiar tone, saying they looked forward to training together in the future.
Gu Lingfeng stood aside, watching the scene with a smile and satisfaction.
In fact, Gu Lingfeng agreed to Zhang Chenggang's conditions for other purposes besides getting a rating opportunity. Zhao Si's reputation is too bad now, extremely bad, even worse than those who gamble, visit prostitutes and commit domestic violence.
Guoan cannot come forward to explain the situation, nor can they issue a public statement to clarify. And even if they do, who would believe it without official endorsement?
Zhao Si was released, which is actually enough to prove that he has no problem. However, without official confirmation, many people still think that he is a bad guy, a traitor and a traitor to the country. He has not been arrested now because the time has not come yet. He will get his retribution sooner or later.
From the perspective of national sentiment and national security, these people are not wrong, but what is Zhao Si's fault? He is truly wronged and can only swallow his anger.
But this pot is too black and too heavy. If Zhao Si carries it on his back, he will never be able to hold his head up and live a decent life. Gu Lingfeng is reluctant to do so.
So Gu Lingfeng actually hoped to use this opportunity to let Zhao Si get rid of the blame. He was participating in the Olympics as an athlete representing the country. The country recognized his identity as a Chinese, so who could say anything?
It would be even better if Zhao Si could get another ranking. Not only would he get rid of the blame, but he would also be given a golden halo. He is a person who has brought glory to the country. Who would dare to spread rumors about him?
Zhang Chenggang finished his discussion with the leaders excitedly, and Zhao Si was directly detained. Everyone could see that his running was all about talent and he had no skills. He stayed and started training immediately, racing against time. Zhao Si still had a long way to go if he wanted to win a place in the Olympics.
Gu Lingfeng didn't expect that he wouldn't even be given the chance to go home and pack his luggage. He hadn't even kissed Zhao Si goodbye yet. But training was the most important thing now. Gu Lingfeng resigned himself to his fate and went home to pack a large bag for Zhao Si, officially starting their separate lives.
