By September, the school had opened and the summer vacation was over, and there was a noticeable drop in the number of people who came to Xiaodong Village for tourism.

However, the arrival of autumn makes this place still full of attraction, there are still many local or foreign tourists who come here to buy mountain goods, herbs and other local specialties, by the way, pick a peach, pear, eat a local chicken, duck or something, the day is also very fulfilling.

On the third day, at noon.

A series of six buses drove into Xiaodong Village, stopped at the small square at the entrance of the village, and after the door opened, young men and women wearing red, yellow and white sweatshirts walked down from the car, they moved their bodies while looking at the surrounding scenery, their eyes were full of curiosity.

It took them three hours to get here by plane and then by bus, but the long journey did not make them tired, on the contrary, they all had smiles of excitement and joy on their faces.

A middle-aged man wearing a short-sleeved white shirt with thick eyebrows and big eyes came to the side of the small square, looked at a young woman and said with a smile, "Miss Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are much more beautiful than the last time we met." ”

Liu Ziyan smiled faintly, shook hands with the other party, and greeted politely, "Director Dong, hello." Then he pointed to Li Dong beside him and said, "Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Li Dong, the owner of the Oriental Miracle, that is, Pharmacist Li who is going to treat the athlete's injuries this time." Then he introduced Li Dong, "This is Dong Changzhi, deputy director of the General Administration of Sports." ”

"Boss Li, hello, hello. Dong Changzhi grabbed Li Dong's hand, held his hands tightly, and said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you Boss Li for your support to our work, and thank you Boss Li for treating our athletes, on behalf of the General Administration, on behalf of the 280 athletes who came to receive treatment today, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Boss Li." ”

"Director Dong is polite, athletes participating in the World Championships are to win glory for the country, I can do my part, that is my honor. Li Dong said with a smile, "As a Qingzhou person, I also welcome you to come to Qingzhou and come to Dongshan." ”

"Boss Li, you can say a word to the athletes, everyone admires you as a business legend, and I believe that your words can be a good incentive for them. Dong Changzhi's eyes were a little longing, in his opinion, this Boss Li is very young, not much older than those athletes behind him, as a peer, the words of this business legend are definitely more useful than the words of his leader.

When Li Dong heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, shook his head and said, "Director Dong, there is a specialization in the art industry, if it is a medical student who comes today, I may be able to make a big deal in front of them and say a few words of encouragement to them, but they are all athletes, and the interlacing is like a mountain, I really don't know what to say." ”

"Boss Li, I didn't let you talk to them about sports, you can encourage them mentally and willingly. Dong Changzhi said, it was not easy to meet the boss of the Oriental Miracle, he didn't want to give up this opportunity, although he was the leader of these people, but he knew very well that in the eyes of these athletes, the business legend in front of him, the person with real skills, is their idol, "Boss Li, in the process of starting a business, you have shown the spirit of overcoming difficulties and climbing the peak, which is the same as competitive sports." ”

"yes, just say a few words. Liu Ziyan on the side also persuaded, with a rare smile on her face.

Li Dong glanced at Liu Ziyan, in his eyes, Liu Ziyan just wanted him to make a fool of himself in front of public, the more people the better, the more embarrassing the better, this is not persuasion at all, but to give him problems, laughter is not encouragement and expectation, but schadenfreude.

This is not because he is narrow-minded, but what he learned in the process of contact with Liu Ziyan.

"Boss Li, please, everyone is waiting. Dong Changzhi pointed to the athletes who had already lined up the team.

Li Dong has reason to suspect that this Director Dong and Liu Ziyan must have conspired before, to make him embarrassed in front of the athletes.

"Okay. Li Dong knows that on today's occasion, he will definitely not be able to pass without saying a word, and many athletes have seen it, and obviously have known his appearance through some photos on the Internet.

Dong Changping immediately returned to the athletes, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said loudly, "Everyone be quiet, now I have to invite Mr. Li, the boss of the Oriental Miracle, to speak for everyone." ”

"Whoa!"

Whoa, whoa, whoa......

Hearing Dong Changping's words, the parking lot resounded with warm applause, all the athletes raised their hands and applauded vigorously, and the sound came far and wide, reverberating in Qingyun Mountain.

Li Dong walked in front of the two hundred and eighty athletes, his eyes swept from left to right, the age span of the athletes is very large, some are in their teens and look like children, and some are in their thirties, and they should already be parents.

Seeing Li Dong standing up, the applause quickly stopped, and everyone looked at him, waiting for his speech, the speech of the boss of the Oriental Miracle, not everyone has the opportunity to hear.

Li Dong took a deep breath, then said with a smile, "When I was a child, I participated in the sports meeting organized by the school, and I still remember the slogan at that time, 'Friendship first, competition second,' and now that I have grown up, although I have not been able to become an athlete, as a pharmacist, what I want to say to you is, 'Body first, competition second', my words are finished." ”

Li Dong didn't think too much, and Liu Ziyan didn't get angry with him before, what he said now was completely motivated by feelings.

He has seen too many news of athletes retiring due to injuries, and he has also seen too many news that athletes are unable to support their families due to injuries after retirement, so from the perspective of a pharmacist, he cares more about the health of athletes than about results.

Dong Changzhi's face was a little ugly, as a leader, he was obviously more concerned about the results, the body was the first and the competition was second?

Liu Ziyan looked at Li Dong in surprise, her eyes kept flickering.

"Smack!" "Smack!"

I don't know who clapped their hands first, but gradually, all the athletes applauded, and the sound was louder than the previous welcome.

Compared with shouting inspiring slogans all day long, this plain word makes people feel a kind of inertia.

Li Dong introduced Qian Youcai, the village head of Xiaodong Village, to Director Dong, and handed over the accommodation of the athletes to Qian Youcai, and nearly 300 athletes will be arranged in various homestays and hotels in the village, which is not an easy job.

When the hotel was divided, Li Dong quietly walked to Liu Ziyan's side and asked, "Didn't you say that there were only about a hundred people?

Coming to so many people is naturally a good thing for the villagers of Xiaodong Village, at least those who open hotels and homestays can make a few more money in this off-season, and Li Dong didn't blame the other party for asking this, but he was worried that there were too many people and Xiaodong Village couldn't live, after all, not every villager's house was a hotel.

"Tell me more. Liu Ziyan sighed lightly, "Originally, there were only six, but as soon as I heard that they could be treated for free, whether they participated in the World Championships or those who did not participate in the World Championships, as long as they were injured, they were all brought." ”

"......" Li Dong was speechless, it was really not enough to take advantage.

But that's fine, for him, these people are equivalent to two villages, which helps to complete the task.

"When are you going to start?" asked Liu Ziyan.

"Me, anytime!"
