Chapter 34: The Storm of Returning Home (I)

"This Li Xianfeng is really unusual! How could he say that in public! Doesn't this mislead those friends in other countries? The good image we have worked so hard to build to the outside world has ruined this guy! No way! I must teach this boy a good lesson! Director Qian, who is in charge of external publicity at the General Administration of Sports, was a little trembling when he held the newspapers issued by the Western media this morning, obviously very angry.

"Director Qian, don't be angry yet, I have contacted Director Huang of the Athletics Center, and he is waiting for us in the office." Director Qian's secretary Xiao Liu hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea and served it to Director Qian and asked him to extinguish the fire first.

"It's still Xiao Liu, you are thoughtful, I won't drink this tea first, go to Lao Huang's office now!" Director Qian walked out with his secretary in a hurry.

"Lao Huang, look at the athletes under you, who have just made such a little achievement, and they are making a lot of nonsense outside, do you know how bad the impact is?" Although Director Qian and Director Huang are nominally equal, Director Qian is working in the General Sports Federation after all, and his innate momentum is one level higher than Director Huang.

"Oh? Let me see. Director Huang unhurriedly picked up the newspaper that Director Qian threw on his desk, "Arrogant Chinese athletes make a big fuss at the press conference", "Huaguo track and field star? No, he's a doping liar", "Silver medalist united with IAAF to assassinate our country's genius? These are just excuses made by the Western media to divert readers' attention when they lose, why do you still take it seriously? ”

"How can I take it seriously?" Director Qian sneered, "Director Huang, I'm afraid that what these media say is not true, you don't know what your athletes said at the press conference." Do you know how bad these words will be on our Chinese athletes and in the hearts of our Western friends? ”

"Old Qian, don't be angry first, Li Xianfeng is still young after all, and everything he says is understandable and forgivable." Director Huang saw that Director Qian didn't seem to want to be good, so he hurriedly made peace.

"Hehe, Lao Huang, don't protect this kid, let me tell you that this kind of thing is serious and even causes diplomatic disputes! If you let the people in the Central Propaganda Department know, hmph, you can think about the consequences for yourself. ”

"Old money isn't so exaggerated, is it? Isn't it just a few media scolding my mother? It's not going to get into a diplomatic dispute, is it? Although Director Huang said this, his expression was also a little flustered.

"Humph! I was scared. Director Qian looked at Director Huang's expression and was a little proud, "I'm not exaggerating at all!" Lao Huang, look at what the Milan Sports Newspaper said, if it is really Li Xianfeng who used means to harm their athletes to play abnormally, and Italian diplomats are protesting to our country, isn't it a diplomatic incident? Won't we be very passive when the time comes? Therefore, I think that in order to ensure our friendship with other countries, we should deal with the issue of Lee Hsien Fung in advance. ”

"What do you think should be done?" Although Director Huang didn't think that the matter was so serious, he also had the mentality that he would rather believe it than not believe it, in case Italy really protested, then he was afraid that his official hat would not be guaranteed.

"I propose to expel the national team and ban him permanently!" Director Qian's words were astonishing.

"No! It's too serious! Lee Hsien Fung is the future star of our sprint! "It's okay that Director Huang didn't lose his mind for his future, and subconsciously opposed Director Qian's proposal.

"Well, then at least he will be expelled from the national team and banned for one year, and when this limelight passes, it's not too late for him to come back, after all, he's still young, isn't he?" Director Qian didn't think that his initial proposal would be agreed to by Director Huang, this opinion was his real idea.

"I'll think about it." Director Qian saw the hesitation in Director Huang's eyes, so he persuaded him harder, "Lao Huang, I know you think that Li Xianfeng can make results, but look at his big mouth, don't come back and the results don't come out, first cause a lot of trouble for you!" You must know that the most important thing for you right now is stability, and I have heard that there is a meaning from above to promote you. ”

"Really?" Although Director Huang felt that Director Qian was talking about it, what he said was not unreasonable, "In that case, let's do what you Director Qian wants." ”

"Well, I guess Zhang Jiakai will shout excitedly when he sees me, and Cheng Xiang should also be envious, jealous and hateful, you must know that he has not shown his achievements in the base before, I have suppressed his limelight this time, as for Liu Bin, I guess he should be very entangled!" On the plane, on the way back to the base, Li Xianfeng kept imagining what kind of scene he would be like when he returned to the center, but when he came to the gate of the base and found it deserted, with neither a big red banner nor a welcoming companion, he felt that something was wrong.

"Why don't I feel like the atmosphere is right?" Li Xianfeng turned his head and asked Coach Yuan beside him.

"Let's go back first." Coach Yuan is also very strange, it makes no sense to say that the sprint team is indifferent to Li Xianfeng's history-making results, there must be something wrong in it.

Li Xianfeng and Coach Yuan walked on the way back to the sprint team, and found that the surrounding crowd was looking at the master and apprentice with regretful eyes, which made Li Xianfeng and Yuan Cheng even more uneasy.

"You're back." Coach Liu Bin looked at Li Xianfeng and Yuan Cheng with a complicated expression.

"Liu Bin, what's going on?" Coach Yuan asked.

"Alas, Li Xianfeng, did you talk nonsense at the post-match press conference?" Liu Bin did not answer Coach Yuan's question, but asked Li Xianfeng.

"Huh? No, I'm telling the truth! Li Xianfeng felt the problem, it must be those unscrupulous media who orchestrated themselves behind the scenes!

"Alas, you're telling the truth, but you're also in great trouble! Just now, Director Huang notified the all-sprint team of the punishment decision against you. ”

"Penalty decision? I? Li Xianfeng pointed at himself with a confused expression and asked.

"That's right, your superiors have decided to expel you from the national team and ban you for one year, so you should hurry back to the dormitory and pack your things." Liu Bin couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, and his face was a little ugly.

"How so? What did those media say that they would punish me like this? Li Xianfeng raised his voice, obviously this kind of treatment Li Xianfeng is unacceptable in any way.

"I don't know about this, you can go to Director Huang for details." After Liu Bin finished speaking, he seemed to be unable to bear to look at the expressions of the master and apprentice, and hurriedly dodged away.

"How so?" Li Xianfeng really can't imagine that he, the hero of the track and field team, will be punished so severely just because he said a few words to the media.

"Let's go find Director Huang first." Coach Yuan took a deep breath, "I hope he can give us a reasonable explanation." ”
