Chapter 63: Athens (3)
"I'm leaving!" August 13th was a gloomy day for Qiao Yuan, because he found that he finally couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere of the editorial department, so he gave up the high-paying job that was the envy of his family and friends, and resolutely resigned, just because he was afraid that his 23-year-old self would not be able to resist the pressure of life, and slowly became the person he hated the most, just like the senior who kindly advised him.
"It's only a few hours before the Olympics start, and I'm leaving." Qiao Yuan smiled self-deprecatingly, Qiao Yuan's sudden resignation before the Olympics put a heavier burden on his colleagues, who were already under great work pressure, which made Qiao Yuan feel a little guilty, but Qiao Yuan did not regret it.
"Far away! I heard your Aunt Zhang say that you resigned? What's going on? Qiao Yuan's mother called at this time, and her tone was very anxious.
"It's not a mom, I'll get a new job soon." Qiao Yuan didn't explain it to his mother, because it might not be useful to explain.
"Humph! Stinky boy! You know that we are spending money and begging people, which is why you asked Aunt Zhang to help you get into this newspaper! You just quit like that, are you worthy of me? Qiao Yuan's father turned the phone and roared at Qiao Yuan.
"I'm sorry, father, I'll try to find a job." Qiao Yuan said in a low voice.
"Excuse me? A word of sorry is over? I'm telling you! Hurry up and go back and admit your mistake to the editor-in-chief! Say your resignation was impulsive! Fight for people's forgiveness, understand? Qiao Yuan's father used to be a middle-level leader of a state-owned enterprise, and he was transferred to Qingshui Yamen because of the defeat in the political struggle, but his machismo and official authority have not changed at all.
"Dad, I'm not going back." Qiao Yuan said calmly.
"Not going back? Then don't even think about entering this house again! Do you know how much effort it took me and your mother to raise you? I finally found you a stable job, and you dared to resign from me, okay! Good! If you don't go back and admit your mistake, you'll never go into the house! The more Qiao's father spoke, the more angry he became, and Qiao Yuan could imagine Qiao's father's hideous expression across the phone.
"Well, Dad, if I don't make a difference, I won't come home!" After all, Qiao Yuan is only 23 years old, and he doesn't want to be a marionette in the hands of his parents, he is determined to make a fool of himself by himself.
"Son, don't listen to your father's nonsense, you ......" The mother hurriedly grabbed the phone, wanting to comfort her son, but was interrupted by Qiao Yuan.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll have a good time outside! I'll call you every week. That's it, I'm going to an interview with a company. Qiao Yuan hung up the phone with a "snap", "I'm desperate." Qiao Yuan smiled helplessly, took his latest resume, and went to another famous sports newspaper in the city for an interview, and his latest resume added a clause, "Qiao Yuan - President of the Li Xianfeng Fan Association, Li Xianfeng blogger." ”
Li Xianfeng's birth has changed many people and things, Qiao Yuan is just one of them, and in the near future, the world will become more exciting because of Li Xianfeng's existence. And now, what Li Xianfeng needs to change in front of him is to change the seemingly uneventful Athens Olympics, and together with Liu Xiang, he will send out the cry of the yellow race in the track and field field!
"Now coming to us is the Chinese team with Yao Ming as the standard-bearer! In this Athens Olympic Games, the Chinese delegation sent a total of 437 athletes, including 203 male athletes and 234 female athletes. They will have the strength to win gold in weightlifting, diving, table tennis and other seven major events, look, now the athletes of the Chinese delegation have walked through the rostrum, they are full of energy, obviously full of confidence in the upcoming competition, I wish our Chinese athletes excellent results in the field! ”
It may be that the person in charge of the Huaguo team greeted the photographer in advance, and Li Xianfeng and Liu Xiang really got a close-up shot of about 3 seconds, which made all the Huaguo audiences watching the opening ceremony have a basic impression of these two handsome guys.
"Mommy, Mommy, look! He is Li Xianfeng! Isn't it handsome! Seeing her high school daughter excitedly pointing at a young athlete, the mother could only smile helplessly, sighing that her daughter liked a singer a few days ago, and today she fell in love with a not-so-famous athlete.
"He's as handsome as me!" A young man in his early 20s, sitting in front of a computer in an Internet café with his legs crossed and smoking a cigarette, was not addicted to online games like other young people, but was watching the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, which made him an alternative in a smoky Internet café.
"It's a big scene." Li Xianfeng couldn't help but sigh while following the team. Only those who are in it can feel the shock of the Olympic Games, which is a completely different feeling than watching it in front of a television.
"It's just a pity that such a unique sporting event will get worse and worse." Lee Hsien Fung was in the midst of the Athens Olympics and couldn't help but worry about the future of the Games, because he clearly remembered the future development of the Games.
The Olympic Games as a global sporting event has grown significantly since the end of the Cold War in 1992, and every country is proud to be able to host the Olympic Games, and this grandeur culminated in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
But it was also after the Beijing Olympics, with another economic crisis, the Olympics began to slowly turn to decline, 12 years of London, 16 years of Rio, one is worse than the other, especially the Rio Olympics has become a joke.
The Brazilian government, which originally wanted to boost the economy through the Olympics, not only did not drive the economy, but instead increased the burden on the people, and the venues that had been built with huge sums of money were quickly abandoned.
The tragic situation in Rio has intensified the fear of the Olympic Games in all countries around the world, and the people have even rejected the Olympics! The Olympics are an economic cancer! This kind of sound that was unimaginable at the beginning of the 21st century.
It is precisely because of the boiling of public resentment that it has even reached the point where no country is willing to host the Olympic Games, which has to be said to be the sadness of the entire sports world.
"What do I want to do now? Maybe I'll retire by the time I get to Rio. Li Xianfeng suddenly felt that he had been reborn, and it was not entirely good to know too much.
Looking at the Athenian spectators cheering for the Olympics in the stands, Lee couldn't help but think of the despair that 10 years later, the whole of Greece was plunged into by debt.
"Don't be in a daze! It's time for us to go! Seeing that Li Xianfeng was still stunned in place, Liu Xiang couldn't help but pat the little brother's shoulder.
"Good! Walk! Li Xianfeng shook his head and hurriedly followed Liu Xiang's footsteps.
In the team of the Dongying team, Hirota was observing Li Xianfeng's every move through the crowd, and when he saw that he seemed to be distracted by nervousness, he couldn't help but smile, "Hehe, it's just a 16-year-old child, can you not be nervous when you participate in such a sports meeting for the first time?" It seems that I used to be too careful, and it is absolutely impossible for him to defeat our uncontinued Shingo! Huaguo team, this Olympic Games will become a painful memory for your life! ”
