It's a strange caller.

If it was more than ten years later, Su Zu might just hang up without thinking about it. At that time, there were too many harassing phone calls, and nine out of ten strange calls were all kinds of financial sales, buying and selling real estate, small loans, and gambling calls under the name of a special administrative region. It's hard to prevent, it's hard to bother.

And now it's still 2003, and there aren't that many messy phone calls. In this life, Su Zu's circle is extremely small, and there are not many people who have left his phone number, and those who will call him should be familiar with it under normal circumstances.

"Hey, who's that?" Su Zu picked up his phone and pressed the answer button.

"It's me." On the other end of the line, a somewhat muffled male voice rang.

"Zhang Qunwen?" Su Zu was really surprised when he could distinguish the voice on the phone. He just broke the national 100-meter record, and thought that it might be called by his family, that it was from his former sports school peers, and even that it was possible for leaders from all walks of life. But, I didn't expect Zhang Qunwen to call him.

"Well, I ...... I saw the news and knew you broke the record, congratulations. Zhang Qunwen's voice on the other end of the phone was slightly druffled, and there seemed to be other noises faintly.

"How's it going? Have trouble on your end? ”

Since the last May Day Su Zu observed from afar at the door of the store, he didn't take the time to look at him again. He had left his mobile phone number to Zhang Qunwen before, but the other party never took the initiative to contact him, and when he suddenly heard Zhang Qunwen's call, the first thing he thought of was that the other party was in difficulty.

"No difficulty, I'm good here, and the store is good." Zhang Qunwen stammered and was busy explaining.

But Su Zu couldn't believe it, and suddenly he remembered that he seemed to have missed something important.

"Is there no money? I forgot to pay you a salary? ”

Except for the first time he paid Zhang Qunwen three months' salary, he forgot about it later. Tens of thousands of yuan is not a small amount for Su Zu now, but he himself has ignored this matter intentionally or unintentionally, always afraid of revealing the mystery, which is a bloody scar.

"Yes, ah, no, rich...... I'm enough to spend. Zhang Qunwen spoke a little slurred on the phone.

"What the situation is, you can make it clear. If you still have money in your account, you get your salary first. If not, you wait for me to go to the bank tomorrow to transfer money to you. ”

Su Zu was a little baffled by Zhang Qunwen, but his tone was not gentle, and he unconsciously took on the tone of the employer's boss. Because the nature of the matter is different, he is not giving alms, he is hiring employees. It is his that the store business loses money or not, but the employees receive salaries.

In fact, after the store opened, Su Zu also left it behind for a while, and didn't think about how it would develop in the future, but just hurt things, and gave people some thoughts when he could. Don't take a wrong step and go to extremes.

As for whether Zhang Qunwen can really walk out of the glory of the past and face life with a peaceful attitude, Su Zu doesn't know and can't be sure.

Just like ordinary people chatting usually, they occasionally can't help but brag about a few words about the history of their youth, what competitions they have participated in, and what awards they have won. What's more, a champion athlete who has participated in the World Championships, won two gold medals in the World Universiade, and almost stands at the peak of gymnasts.

"I ...... I want to ask you, can you hire another person? On the phone, Zhang Qunwen hesitated for a while before he said with some hesitation.

"Recruitment?" Su Zu was surprised for a while, "Are you too busy now, or are you ......?" ”

"Well, I've bought goods twice as you said, and I often can't leave if I'm alone...... I have a teammate who used to be in sports school, and I want to ...... Want to help. On the phone, Zhang Qunwen's confidence seemed to be a little insufficient, but he probably explained the situation clearly.

In a few months, Zhang Qunwen not only sold the sportswear and sporting goods that were hurriedly purchased at that time, but also did not run away after having a working capital, and even bought the goods several times.

In fact, a person who can practice a skill to the peak may have a flawed personality, lack of experience and knowledge, and a low level of education, but he will definitely not be a stupid and lazy person. A person who can become a champion in a certain project, in addition to talent, at least in terms of diligence and research spirit will not be worse than anyone else.

Su Zu could even imagine how Zhang Qunwen watched passers-by walk by in a small narrow clothing store, racking his brains to lure them in. When a customer walks into the store, how do they introduce supplies to people and bargain?

Maybe I messed up many times and thought about giving up, maybe I did it smoothly as soon as I opened the door, and I took the first step steadily.

Occasionally, guests may notice the photos and newspaper cutouts on the wall, and Zhang Qunwen said with a bit of pride and embarrassment that I won the prize in which competition. Or maybe just smile and don't talk to anyone.

At this moment, it was all Su Zu's imagination, but at least, Zhang Qunwen's phone call at this moment was telling him that he was doing a good job.

All the honors of yesterday have become distant memories. I have spent half my life diligently, and tonight I am again in the wind and rain.

What they lack may be just a platform suitable for playing, and what they lack is someone to take them on a path.

"Come if you want, you are now the store manager, and you will arrange it. Well, I'll be back next month. ”

Hanging up the phone, Su Zu was slightly stunned for a while, thinking that Zhang Qunwen might be picking on this call, people always have to stand up on their own, and he doesn't have the ability and obligation to help a person who gives up on himself, but the development of things seems to be somewhat unexpected by him.

If, if it was really possible, then he would have to think about it.

Su Zu looked at the men's 10,000-meter athletes on the field in the distance, walking like flying.

……

The Asian Athletics Championships is the highest level of track and field events in Asia, which is not only a review of Asian track and field strength, but also a selection competition for Asian track and field teams.

The first competition was held in Manila, Philippines, from November 17 to 23, 1973. After 30 years of going round and round, the 15th Asian Athletics Championships in 2003 returned to Manila, Philippines.

The 15th Asian Athletics Championships was originally scheduled for 2004, but the Asian Athletics Federation (AAAF) moved the 2004 to 2003 date, realizing the drawbacks of the Asian Athletics Championships being held in the same year as the Olympic Games or the Asian Games. Held at the same time as other major international competitions, the Asian Athletics Championships are far from attractive enough for the best athletes in the Asian region.

Due to the relatively low overall level of athletics in Asia, the level of intensity, the attention of various countries, and the number of spectators are far from being comparable with world competitions such as the World Athletics Championships, let alone the Olympic Games held every four years.

Like this year's Asian Championships, some track and field celebrities such as Liu Yangyu and Shingo Sue gave up because they participated in the IAAF Grand Prix Finals.

On September 15, athletes from all walks of life who have been confirmed to participate in the Asian Championships basically rested and adjusted their training in the magic capital after the National Championships. Under the impetus of the various coaches of the athletics center and the track and field team, a delegation of 67 people was soon organized, of which 49 were athletes, and the rest were team leaders, translators, coaches and other staff.

On September 18, the delegation flew directly from the magic capital to Manila, and the Asian Championships were about to begin.
