Eric didn't say anything to Duhamel that he had said anything to Xu Haoyang, but Duhamel also vaguely understood that Xu Haoyang already knew about her. They met in the hotel, and probably because of the drugs, Duhamel's mood was far less lively and flamboyant, and he seemed unusually quiet.

He smiled and asked, "Is the hot pot bureau grouped or not?"

group. Duhamel nodded decisively.

Since both of them have withdrawn from the rest of the season, they no longer have to worry about the taboo of eating out. Xu Haoyang directly took them to a large hot pot restaurant with a private room, and ordered a large table of meat and vegetables in a chic manner.

They ate this meal very quietly and for a long time, when they came out of the hot pot restaurant, it was already more than eleven o'clock at night, Xu Haoyang came out to settle the bill, and Duhamel also followed.

"Come on. ”

She smiled and reached out intimately to pinch his face.

"Yes. ”

Xu Haoyang nodded.

When Xu Haoyang returned to the training center, it was already more than twelve o'clock, and naturally Liu Bofei's reprimand was indispensable, and when he finally listened to Liu Bofei's chatter, returned to the room tiredly, and lay on the bed after taking a shower, he felt a deep sense of tiredness and powerlessness hit one after another. Then, in this sense of powerlessness, he found a sense of luck that he shouldn't have.

In the past, he had compared himself to Han Lu - he didn't let her know about it, but when he saw her fall from the top, he suddenly thought of himself, the experience of those junior team honors completely disappeared in the senior group.

But that feeling quickly faded away, and he didn't think he could compare to her.

What she went through, he never knew.

No one can look beyond the experiences of others to make any judgment for them.

Eric said his decisions and actions were the best option for the moment. However, before he said that, Xu Haoyang could actually think of several other ways - such as telling the truth to everyone to gain understanding, and at the same time making the mental health of athletes more important - and so on.

But he didn't say it at all.

He doesn't know the mood and situation of the person concerned, and he has no reason to imagine an idealistic ending on behalf of others.

However, the next morning, when he could rarely steal a half-day after the game, he got up groggily, only to be completely awakened by two horrific headlines.

The first is "Canadian player Duhamel is diagnosed with mental illness", and the second is "Duhamel and Xu Haoyang, dating at a hot pot restaurant after the game".

The page also included a photo of them at checkout the night before. The photograph is unusually clear, and it captures the scene where Duhamel reaches out and pinchs his face.

What the is this......

He suddenly felt a terrible headache.

It was indeed careless, he thought, only thinking about avoiding the reporters crouching at the door of the hotel, but forgetting that those people were completely pervasive.

However, this incident is not a very terrible event for him, and the rumors of the relationship between men and women are just true, even if they are true, they will not have any impact on his career. But just another piece of news......

He searched foreign websites and found that this was indeed not just a rumor in China, and in just one night, this news was almost swept by major portals around the world.

Something Eric wants to hide even if he's suspended.

Xu Haoyang hastily washed his face and walked out of the room. Their booking today was originally to review after the game, looking for some rectifications that need to be improved from the previous game, which needs to be completed by Liu Bofei and Amy with them. So, he walked towards Liu Bofei's office first, but halfway through, he saw Lu Bolin walking in front of him, and Han Lu, who seemed to have just come out of Liu Bofei's office and was walking towards this side murderously.

"Isn't it you?"

When Han Lu and Lu Bolin were less than half a meter apart, Han Lu first stretched out his hand and directly blocked Lu Bolin's way. He asked with his head held high.

"What?" Lu Bolin asked.

"What are you pretending to be stupid?" Han Lu said. Anyway, she had already torn her face last time, and she didn't want to maintain any superficial peace at this time. "Wasn't it you who took the picture?"

"Miss. Lu Bolin shook his head and smiled, "What are you talking about?"

"Don't pretend to be here with me!"

"Why did I take this kind of photo?" Lu Bolin asked, "Can you explain?"

"How do I know!" Han Lu said, "Aren't these things what you like? ”

"Han Lu. At this time, Liu Bofei walked out of the office. "You come here first. ”

"He ......"

"Come here. ”

Liu Bofei said.

Han Lu sighed and walked back to Liu Bofei's side.

"Coach Liu. Lu Bolin nodded to Liu Bofei.

"Hmm. Liu Bofei replied simply. "Do you have a clue about the photo?"

"I won't tell you," Lu Bolin glanced at Han Lu and said with a helpless smile: "The reporter in my company was indeed at the door of the hotel where Duhamel stayed yesterday, and then he did go to that hot pot restaurant together. ”

Xu Haoyang also walked over.

He said that the person who took the photo was one of his classmates, who had been working in the entertainment section of the newspaper. Some time ago, this person signed a short-term contract with SeeA. ”

The media circle is not big, and there are so many people back and forth, who cooperates with whom, who has contact with whom, and generally revolves around those companies and a few bosses. The SeeA company in Lu Bolin's mouth is another brokerage company that was established in the past two years with the core business of creating sports stars. However, because of the lack of strength of the athletes signed by his subordinates, the exposure rate is not enough, although it also takes a lot of effort to publicize, but the effect is always unsatisfactory.

"Do you rely on black peers to gain profits......" Liu Bofei shook his head.

"At present, it seems that this is the case, but the benefits that can be won by the black counterparts are temporary. Lu Bolin said. Before, he didn't treat this SeeA company as a competitor at all, that is, their manager had invited Jiang Xin not long ago, which made him pay a little more attention to this company. As soon as he noticed this, he discovered another thing.

"Whatever. At this time, Xu Haoyang interjected, "Just shoot it, are you still afraid of this." ”

"It's not afraid to be afraid of nature. Lu Bolin said, "The clarification post will be released soon on our side." It's just ......"

"Just what?" asked Liu Bofei.

"Now, SeeA has a partnership with Muller's club, and they also work with the Korean team. I suspect that SeeA wants to use the new duo of Jiang Xin and Jiang Zhijun to create their own popularity in the industry. ”

"You mean......" Han Lu keenly understood the meaning of his words.

"The person who exposed Duhamel to the media is also Mueller?" Xu Haoyang asked.

"I don't know. Lu Bolin said, "However, if it were me, I would not release these two messages at the same time." Duhamel's illness and Duhamel and Xu Haoyang's private date, these two things are actually not related. At this time, putting the photo together with the one that will not have any impact at all will only weaken the impact of the first news. ”

"You mean, the other party deliberately wants to make Xu Haoyang's negative news?" Han Lu asked.

"It's possible, but not necessarily. Lu Bolin said, "Maybe it's just not professional enough, I want to play all the cards in my hand at once, thinking that how many * can cause a wide range of explosions." Only a layman would think so. ”

"Alright. Liu Bofei said, "That's it." ”

"As we said before," Mr. Lu said, "we're going to send out the clarifying news in the next few days." ”

"Hmm. ”

Liu Bofei nodded. After so many years, he still can't deal with Lu Bolin very naturally, especially in the training center. He is the son of his ex-wife, and this somewhat uncomfortable relationship has always been in his heart.

"Are you helping us?" Han Lu stared at Lu Bolin, "Why?"

Lu Bolin smiled helplessly: "It's like I've been hurting you in the past." ”

“……”

"The last time I was presumptuous. He said, "I should know you don't like that." ”

"Don't talk about it last time. ”

"Okay. Lu Bolin laughed again, "You don't have to think too complicated. I didn't do it specifically to help you. Xu Haoyang's contract is still in my drawer, and the loss of his reputation is equal to my loss. Huh?"

It was rare that Han Lu didn't refute anything more.

"Okay. She said, "Say whatever you want." ”

After Lu Bolin left, Han Lu and Xu Haoyang entered Liu Bofei's office together, and Liu Bofei was thinking about another question while calling up the video materials needed to review it later from the computer.

Lu told them that SeeA had invited Jiang Xin, and that Mueller's club and SeeA had cooperated.

…… Jiang Xin.

In fact, when "Faun Afternoon" sounded on the ice rink in advance, Liu Bofei felt that things were a little delicate.

Such a coincidence is too strange. Coupled with the fact that the pair who also chose the piece were also from Müller's club, he had to think in a direction he didn't want to imagine.

It was Jiang Xin who knew Han Lu's choice of music in advance, and then Muller asked the French pair to choose the same song. It may be for the sake of victory – but also for the sake of one's own victory, but for the sake of causing trouble for others.

This kind of thing has happened in the past in the field, and he has seen it many times himself.

It's always ridiculous that the same people are standing on the same ice rink, but they are not people who are moving towards the same goal and direction.

The photo of Duhamel and Xu Haoyang was quickly clarified, as Lu Bolin said. Lu Bolin released other photos, indicating that at the hot pot restaurant that time, Duhamel, Eric, and Xu Haoyang had always been together, as for the so-called intimate actions between the two, those who are slightly familiar with Duhamel know that this is nothing to her.

What's more, some people said harshly that her mind was not normal.

However, this kind of remark quickly caused an angry group attack from netizens, including ice fans and passers-by who are not much interested in figure skating. For the exposure of Duhamel's true condition, netizens all over the world gave her the greatest tolerance. Looking through the discussion forums of several mainstream websites, the content of the replies is all warm text:

Little sister has worked hard, please have a good rest this year. We're waiting for you to come back.

I hope everyone pays more attention to the mental health of athletes and doesn't put too much pressure on them.

It must have been hard.

I've been through this state too, it's been so painful. Hopefully get better soon.

At the same time, the club's side also held a press conference, Duhamel did not attend, and it was Eric and their coach Hernandez who attended. Eric also responded to his attack, saying that it was his personal act on impulse, and apologized to Jiang Zhijun.

"Will you be back next year?" was asked at the end of the press conference.

Eric was silent for a moment, then faced the camera and confessed, "I don't know. ”

He said so.

"However, I will return to the ice with my partner in good health. It may take some time, but, anyway, I'll be with her. If she decides to retire, then I will retire with her. A person's figure skating is meaningless. I've never stood here to win. ”
