Chapter 377: Pick-up
"I really didn't expect it!"
In the indoor track and field training hall of the Yanjing General Administration, Chen Zhongzhou couldn't help but be a little stunned when he looked at the results of the Daegu Star Invitational Tournament in South Korea that came back yesterday.
"Wallace Spearmon has the strength."
On the indoor runway on the other side, Ye Qin, who was stretching, heard Chen Zhongzhou's surprised tone and replied calmly.
After the Sept. 23 Golden Grand Prix in Seenghae, the results of the Stars Invitational in Daegu, South Korea, on Sept. 28, saw Wallace Spearmon set a career-best of 19.65 seconds in Daegu.
Chen Zhongzhou recalled this year's world athletics situation, and his face showed a little excitement: "19.65 seconds! What's going on in the men's 200m this year, with successive 200m all-time second and third times, and if this goes on next year, it won't really break Michael Johnson's world record of 19.32 seconds, right? ”
"Records are set for people to break!" Ye Qin finished the stretching movement, stood on the runway and slowly relaxed his muscles, with an unconcealable sharpness between his eyebrows.
In the 2006 international athletics this year, in the men's 200m event, Xavier Carter's 19.63 seconds became the second-best time in history after Michael Johnson. Then there were Jason Gaby's 19.68 seconds and 19.70 seconds, with 19.68 seconds being the third-best time in history with Namibia's Fredericks, but this third-best time in history dropped to fourth after Wallace Spearmon ran 19.65 seconds.
After these few results, Ye Qin ran 19.78 seconds in the IAAF World Cup this year, and in the previous 19.78 seconds, even the Olympic Games and the World Championships were championships, and some slightly lower level races could break the Games record.
However, this year's event is not enough, although the men's 200m event did not break Michael Johnson's world record, more and more good athletes have emerged, and several rankings are being refreshed.
Ye Qin can clearly feel that as he continues to grow in the men's 200m event, although there is still a distance from Michael Johnson's record, in his eyes it is no longer so unattainable.
"By the way, today is National Day, where are you going?"
After talking for a while about the Daegu Star Invitational Tournament two days ago, Chen Zhongzhou looked at Ye Qin and asked with some curiosity when he saw that Ye Qin had already started to pack his things.
It's only past 8 o'clock in the morning, and Ye Chin's training task has not yet been completed at this time, but today Ye Qin has already begun to pack his things.
"Go back to school first, and then pick someone up at the airport."
Ye Qin packed up his clothes in the indoor training ground, stuffed them into his backpack, and turned his head to reply.
"Pick up someone?" Chen Zhongzhou was slightly stunned, and then laughed, "No wonder you asked me to get the car keys, by the way, you want me to help, don't drive yourself." ”
"I don't have a driver's license, so I can't drive." Ye Qin shook his head, "I found someone to open." ”
Although the car is his own, he is basically not driving it, and although he can't drive it now, he already has more than one car. After the World Youth Championships, a company in the imperial capital gave him one, but because of the contract, he usually used the Passat driven by Chen Zhongzhou for most of his travels.
"That's up to you." Chen Zhongzhou nodded, and then instructed, "Remember to keep the phone on, if there is something, I will contact you as soon as possible." If there is anything, you can also call me. ”
"Got it."
Ye Qin nodded, he is a public figure now, and he will always encounter some trouble when traveling. In addition, the mobile phone is kept on, in addition to being afraid that Chen Zhongzhou will contact him anytime and anywhere, there is also a regular and fixed-point random inspection.
As an athlete, especially if you have made achievements, whether it is the leaders of all aspects of the country or the IAAF, there may be a check for illegal drugs at any time. Athletics has always been a hard-hit area in this regard, and the past two years have been particularly rigorous.
Coming out of the indoor training hall, Ye Qin first went back to his dormitory in the General Training Bureau to take a shower, changed his clothes and went out to return to Mizuki University.
A message was sent downstairs in the women's dormitory of Mizuki University, and soon a girl wearing light blue jeans and a white T-shirt was seen running out of the dormitory.
"Let's go, I guess the flight will arrive in a while."
Ye Qin looked at the girl who walked downstairs, and subconsciously wanted to rub the other party's head, but the girl deftly dodged away, and instead came to his side and grabbed his arm.
"How are we going? Take a taxi or subway? It seems that you can only take a taxi, and you will be recognized by taking the subway. ”
The girl chattered in Ye Qin's ear, as if there was an endless amount of words.
Ye Qin smiled and threw the car keys in his hand to the other party, "Don't you have a driver's license, drive over." ”
"Huh?" Chen Zixi's eyes were surprised, "That's why you asked me to take the driver's license test early." ”
Ye Qin smiled, "I'm an athlete, and I can't spare time to learn to drive, so you will drive it first for the time being." However, you don't usually need to stop at school, so as not to be too ostentatious. ”
Chen Zixi's eyes smiled like a crescent moon, she hadn't thought about learning to drive before, but when she was in the summer vacation last year, Ye Qin asked for it after she found out, but she didn't expect to wait here, and for a while she only felt that she was filled with some kind of emotion.
Although it has only been a month since she entered the school, this kind of life has made her feel that she has completely entered a different level. The horizons were broadened, and the more things I understood, the more I could understand what kind of position Ye Qin had come to at this time.
The two got out of school and picked up the car, and Chen Zixi was still a little rusty at first when he got into the driver's seat, but after driving for a while, he was already able to get on the road smoothly.
She got her driver's license last summer, and then she didn't have time to drive in her third year of high school, but fortunately, during the summer vacation this year, the crown at home often practiced for her, so that although the road conditions were not particularly familiar, there were no rear-end accidents along the way.
When they arrived at the airport, the two of them got a good car, and when they arrived at the reception hall of the airport, they still found a slightly marginal position.
Ye Qin also dressed up a little bit as always, and after waiting for less than half an hour, several familiar figures walked out of the exit.
Chen Zixi suddenly shouted excitedly, and waved towards a few people at the exit of the plane.
"Uncle, aunt."
Ye Qin followed behind Chen Zixi, and also walked up, looking at the few people who came out and said hello.
"Alas, Ye Chin, why are you here?"
Chen Yunbo smiled at Ye Qin, and before he could speak, Huang Hongying next to him took a look left and right, and pulled the family to the side.
"You're a celebrity now, and if you come to pick us up at the airport, you'll be in the newspaper if you are photographed by a reporter."
"It's fine." Ye Qin smiled, "I'm just a runner, and they usually don't bother to shoot me." ”
"You're being too modest." Chen Yunbo on the side also laughed, and he could see that he was very happy that Ye Qin would follow Chen Zixi to pick them up, "You are now one of the top celebrities in China, if we really get on the newspaper media, it will also be stained with your light!" ”
"Black Carbon, Black Carbon, remember to give me some signatures when you go back."
While Ye Qin was talking to Chen Yunbo and Huang Hongying, Chen Ziyuan, who had whispered to Chen Zixi next to him, had already jumped over and pulled Ye Qin to shout.
"What black charcoal, this kid, you have to call Brother Ye Qin." Huang Hongying next to her glanced at Chen Ziyuan with some dissatisfaction.
Chen Ziyuan stuck out her tongue and ignored it at all, and then said: "Black Tan, were you rewarded with a house in the competition in Shenghai a few days ago?" ”
"House?" Chen Yunbo and Huang Hongying were slightly stunned when they heard this word.
Ye Qin nodded, "Well, there is a house, finely decorated, and several of my teammates in Shenghai, Yang Yao and Liu Yangyu, they all let me live in Shenghai after I retire." ”
On September 23, in the men's 400m race of the Shenghai Station Golden Grand Prix, Ye Qin finally won the championship because of Jimmy Warner's injury and retirement, and at the same time, after the event, the organizing committee rewarded him and Liu Yangyu with a house worth 1 million.
Ye Qin went to see it after the game, it was a large four-bedroom and two-hall apartment near Xujiahui, and Chen Zhongzhou was a little stunned when he looked at the house.
It is said that the market value is 1 million, but whether it is the reserve price of 1 million given by the developer or 1 million according to the housing prices of the surrounding communities, there is a lot of room for flexibility.
"Shenghai is good, Shenghai is close to Linzhou." After Huang Hongying heard that Ye Qin Shenghai already had a house, she nodded with a smile, looking at Ye Qin's eyes, revealing more and more things.
Chen Yunbo smiled lightly on the side, as if in his opinion, it was normal for Ye Qin to have a house in Shenghai.
"Black Tan, you're really amazing." Chen Ziyuan's eyes seemed to be twinkling with little stars.
At her age, she already has a certain understanding of financial ability, but being able to be rewarded with a house in a game is still much beyond her imagination.
In fact, when he was young, Ye Qin was always full of desire to be able to own a house of his own, but now that he has the ability to achieve it, he does not have so much desire.
This year, under the arrangement of the field management center, he has successively received several brand endorsements, such as the domestic sports brand of the prince of gymnastics, a men's jacket brand, as well as leather shoes and credit card endorsements of one of the country's three major banks, etc., the total number is not much, some are first-class, some are second-level, but on the whole, they are relatively high-grade.
