Chapter 174: Crossover Athletes (Transitional Chapter)
Due to the temporary cancellation of the press conference after the game, Feng Quan called Zhao Shijie again and told him that he didn't have to come to his side, just the Marriott Hotel where he lived. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Soon after Feng Quan returned to the hotel room, Zhao Shijie came to the room where he was.
After entering Feng Quan's room, Zhao Shijie reached out and patted Feng Quan's shoulder, and said happily: "Daquan, congratulations on your victory over Usain Bolt again, your performance today is really great!" ”
"Hehe, that's a must!" Feng Quan, who was praised and said happily. "If you can't defeat him, then don't you let Brother Zhao run for nothing?"
"Hehe, because you haven't been in systematic training for a long time, so when you called me yesterday and said that you were very sure that you could defeat Bolt, I still had some doubts that you were fooling me. I never thought that not only did you really beat Usain Bolt, but you also broke the world record. After a slight pause, Zhao Shijie's gaze swept over Feng Quan's body, and then continued: "I really have some suspicions now, you kid is an alien monster. ”
"Uh...... Brother Zhao, you won't have friends if you talk like this. Feng Quan rolled his eyes and said. I'm so tall and handsome, how can I be an alien monster......"
"Haha, okay, I'm not kidding you, let's get down to business first." After that, Zhao Shijie and Feng Quan sat on the sofa in the room together.
"Is it reliable that you just said that tonight's press conference was temporarily canceled because someone reported that you had taken illegal drugs?" Zhao Shijie asked.
"Well, the news is very reliable." The wind lit up all the way. "At that time, I was thinking about how to delay as much time as possible in the locker room before you rushed over, when Brother Yin, the translator of the Tianguan Center, walked into the locker room and told me the news."
After hearing the affirmative answer, Zhao Shijie's brows tightened at first, and then a "contemptuous" smile appeared on his face.
"Humph! These damn gringos, these guys just can't see our Chinese athletes get good results. Since they are willing to make a fuss about illegal drugs, let's play with them......"
――――――
The next morning, before Feng Quan woke up, he received a call from Liu Jianjun.
Liu Jianjun told Feng Quan on the phone that the results of his drug test after yesterday's game had come out and there was no problem.
In fact, Feng Quan himself knew very well whether he had taken illegal drugs, so even if Liu Jianjun hadn't informed him, he would have known that this would be the result. However, Feng Quan still expressed his gratitude to Liu Jianjun on the phone, and also invited the other party to meet in the restaurant half an hour later, and he invited everyone to dinner.
After ending the call with Liu Jianjun, Feng Quan got up from the bed. After washing up, Feng Quan called Zhao Shijie again and told him to meet at the hotel restaurant later.
――――――
Marriott Hotel Western Restaurant.
At the beginning, Liu Jianjun, who came to the hotel's western restaurant in advance, thought that he was just a sports fan who loved Fengquan when he saw Zhao Shijie walking into the western restaurant with Feng Quan.
However, when Feng Quan took Zhao Shijie to his table and introduced him: "This is my agent Zhao Shijie's ......", Liu Jianjun's face immediately showed a surprised expression.
"Your agent? Daquan, why have I never heard you talk about it before? Liu Jianjun asked suspiciously.
Before Feng Quan could speak, Zhao Shijie very friendly stretched out his right hand to Liu Jianjun and said with a smile: "Hello, Director Liu, it's a pleasure to meet you." I also just became Fengquan's agent through Da Yao's introduction. So, he probably hasn't had time to inform you yet. ”
Although he was a little reluctant, when Zhao Shijie took the lead in showing goodwill, Liu Jianjun reluctantly shook hands with the other party.
Although Liu Jianjun, who is the sprint coach of the national track and field team, is also a member of the system, for him who wants to be down-to-earth and make some contributions to China's track and field career, in fact, there is nothing wrong with Feng Quan's own hiring of an agent. However, Feng Quan's approach of "cutting first and then playing" is likely to make the field management center feel "very faceless".
Therefore, Liu Jianjun is a little worried that when Feng Quan participates in various competitions in the future, he is likely to encounter "difficulties" from the field management center, or even be directly punished. If this is the case, both Feng Quan, who has just become one of the world's top track and field athletes, and Chinese track and field will undoubtedly suffer huge losses.
Because of this, Liu Jianjun showed a hint of discoloration on his face after learning that Feng Quan had hired an agent.
After seeing the different color on Liu Jianjun's face, in order to avoid embarrassment between the two parties, Zhao Shijie did not immediately explain to Feng Quan, but first signaled to the waiter that he needed to order food here.
When the three of them each chose their favorite food, Zhao Shijie said to Liu Jianjun with a smile: "Director Liu, in fact, I know very well what your worries are. That's right, as an athlete in the system, Feng Quan's practice of hiring me as his agent without saying hello to his superiors is indeed a bit inconsistent with the 'rules' in the sports circle. However, the reason why Feng Quan did this also had his own reasons. ”
"What is the reason? Is it because after Daquan won the Olympic championship, he disliked the amount of the sponsorship contract that the field management center helped him get was too small, and wanted to negotiate something bigger? Liu Jianjun said with some excitement.
"Hehe, Coach Liu, as Feng Quan's sprint coach, you've been training for almost a year, right? Do you think he's the kind of kid who cares a lot about money? Even though Liu Jianjun's words were a little "ugly", Zhao Shijie's face still maintained a professional smile. "The main reason why Feng Quan hired me as his full-time agent is that he has a higher level of pursuit."
Listening to Zhao Shijie's words, Liu Jianjun's brows tightened again, and he thought: "He won the two heaviest track and field gold medals in the Olympic Games, and he just broke the world record in the 100-meter dash yesterday, what higher pursuit can he have?" Could it be that he still wants to break the world record in the decathlon? …… But this has always been his goal, and it's not a higher pursuit, right? ”
Seeing that Liu Jianjun didn't squeak for a long time, Zhao Shijie spoke again: "The main reason why Feng Quan hired me is that he wants to challenge, and there is never something that other athletes can do. It's about being a crossover athlete and being able to achieve great success in both fields at the same time. ”
"What do you mean?" Liu Jianjun asked suspiciously.
"Coach Liu, I think you must have heard of the fact that Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, once played baseball for a while, right?" Zhao Shijie said with a smile.
"Well, I've heard about it, but Jordan's experience in Major League Baseball doesn't seem to be very successful."
"That's right, officially because of this, Feng Quan wants to be the first athlete who can also achieve great success after becoming a 'crossover' athlete." Zhao Shijie said firmly. (To be continued.) )
