In her hotel room, Sharapova, dressed in only a wide nightgown, reclined on a recliner with half a glass of red wine in one hand and a mobile phone in the other.

After a long time, she turned around and said to Zhang Guan: "I will probably stay in China for three more days, and I will have to leave in three days." ”

"Are you going back to the United States?" Zhang Guan asked.

Sharapova shook her head: "No, go to Moscow, there is a Kremlin Cup on October 12, it is a first-class event, and I am going to go back to visit my grandmother in advance." ”

"Oh well! I'll take you to the airport then. Zhang Guan said with a little disappointment.

"I've read the game information, the Doha Asian Games will end on December 15th, can you come to Australia to see me later?" Sharapova continued: "I know of a nice resort on the Gold Coast, close to Surfers Paradise, where we can go surfing. ”

"Okay, as long as it doesn't delay your preparation for the Australian Open." Zhang Guan said.

"The Australian Open won't start until mid-January. I have two weeks to prepare. And if you go to Australia early, you can also get used to the climate there. Sharapova spoke.

Zhang Guan thought for a while and said, "After I finish the Asian Games, there may not be any major competitions for a few months. The programs for next year's IAAF Golden League are not yet out, and I don't know which ones to sign up for. If possible, I'll accompany you to the end of the Australian Open. ”

"Really?" Sharapova showed a little girl's joy: "Then we will make up our minds!" ”

……

The day after the National Day, Sharapova boarded a plane to Moscow.

Zhang Guan walked out of the airport and just got in the car, when he received a call from He Yiming.

"Come to me in the evening and introduce someone to you." He Yiming opened his mouth and said.

"Well, I'll go over now." Zhang Guan agreed first, but then asked about the identity of the other party.

I only heard He Yiming continue: "It is a good friend of mine, Chairman Wang of Yadi Group. You've probably heard of it! ”

"I've heard of it." Zhang Guan nodded. He knew that this Wang Dong was a well-known entrepreneur in China, and he was only 40 years old this year. Starting from scratch, Yadi Group has now developed into a first-class enterprise in China, and Wang Dong has also ascended to the position of the richest man in China.

On the phone, He Yiming continued: "Wang Dong is very interested in the free lunch plan of the Champion Fund and wants to invest. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Guan was suddenly interested.

Although the "Free Lunch" program has been in the works for several months, and because of Zhang Guan's reasons, this plan has also received a lot of attention, but there are so many primary and secondary schools in poor areas across the country, and the "Free Lunch" program can really only help a small part.

Soon after, Zhang Guan met Chairman Wang. The two soon talked about the "free lunch" program.

I saw Chairman Wang said with emotion: "I grew up in the countryside, there are eight brothers and sisters in our family, my father passed away when I was still in school, so the family conditions are very bad, my sisters got married without going to school, and my brother also dropped out of school and started working to earn money for me to go to school, so I can best understand the pain of poor children not going to school." Over the years, I have also donated to build a lot of hope primary schools in poor areas, and I really hope that every child can go to school. ”

"But since I read the report about the 'free lunch' program you made, I realized that it is not enough to simply build Hope Primary School. A school is just a place to get an education. And many children in poor areas can't even guarantee food and clothing, how can they go to school? I also realized that it is not enough to create opportunities for children to read, but also to give them the conditions to read. ”

"Chairman Wang, I still have a question. Now the threshold for the establishment of a charitable foundation in China is not for you, why do you value my champion fund so much? Zhang Guan asked.

"Open and transparent." Chairman Wang continued: "I have been following your free lunch program for the past few months. I found out that you helped those schools, the specifics of each school, and how much money each school spent per month. The relevant personnel funds and so on are all made public, so I give the money to your champion fund, and I am mentally steady. At least I know that my money is being used where it works, and it's all going to those who need it. ”

The disclosure of the accounts of the "Free Lunch" project is a principle that Zhang Guan has always adhered to, and Zhang Guan occasionally takes pictures of some accounts and posts them on his blog. In fact, this so-called account disclosure is also selective disclosure, such as how many students in which school, how much money was spent this month, how much labor costs are, etc., these numbers are easy to calculate, and they give people a more intuitive feeling.

Zhang Guan really wants to do something to help those in need, so Zhang Guan dares to make the accounts public, and some people do charity with other purposes, so naturally they dare not make the accounts public.

Philanthropy in China started relatively late, especially in the special era, and philanthropy was repeatedly criticized as "the ornament of the ruling class in the old society to paralyze the people", until the beginning of the recovery in the nineties, but it was still met with great resistance, and most of them were government-run or semi-governmental. In terms of supervision mechanism, it is basically equivalent to self-supervision, just like the fund of the welfare lottery, there will always be a part of it that is misappropriated, occupied, or simply missing, even if it is on the news, in the end, it has not been found out, and it is not done.

……

After reaching a capital injection agreement with Chairman Wang, Zhang Guan first went to visit Chen Lao, and then spent a week at home before returning to the national team to report and participate in the training camp of the Doha Asian Games.

Zhang Guan had just returned to the dormitory, still packing his luggage, when he saw Liu Feiren come in with half of his face stretched.

"When I saw that the door was not closed, I guessed that you were back. Let's go and eat together. Liu Feiren walked into the house as he spoke, and continued: "I really envy you, you have been on vacation for so long." When I came back from Athens, the team gave me three days off to prepare for the Asian Games. ”

"It's not because of your previous injury that you've missed some training." Zhang Guan didn't pack his luggage anymore, and directly called Liu Feiren to walk towards the cafeteria, and continued as he walked: "But I, a layman, have to persuade you a few words, you should change seven steps before you go to the bar, so let's think about it carefully." Although I haven't practiced hurdles, I'm also a long jump champion, and this suddenly becomes a jumping leg, as if we used to hold chopsticks with our right hand suddenly become left-handed, which will definitely be very difficult, and the increased pace amplitude is also a burden on the legs. ”

"I know, but I'd like to give it a try." Liu Feiren continued: "According to my current physical condition, I may have reached the limit, I want to be faster, I can only use this method." And you know Robles of Cuba, he uses the seven-step hurdle technique, you see how fast his results have improved this year, at the beginning of the year he was only the runner-up in the indoor competition, and at the end of the year, he can already win medals in the Athletics World Cup. If I can learn the seven-step hurdle technique, I will definitely be faster than Robles. ”

There is a saying in the future that the root cause of Liu Feiren's injuries in the middle and late stages of his career is that the eight-step upper column is changed to seven steps. At that time, Zhang Guan did not have much experience of this, but now that he has become a professional athlete, especially after practicing stride and long jump, Zhang Guan can deeply feel that the change of this group of techniques has too much impact on the athlete's body. Zhang Guan can even feel that if he hadn't learned the skill of "strengthening knees" in advance, he is afraid that his knees would have problems now.

Hearing Liu Feiren's answer, Zhang Guan sighed, and he didn't continue to persuade Liu Feiren. With Zhang Guan's understanding of Liu Feiren, no matter how much persuasion is effective, this is not because Liu Feiren is stubborn, but because Liu Feiren always has a heart to pursue the championship.

Liu Feiren didn't continue to talk about this topic, but said: "You should know about the retirement of Yu Gui, right?" ”

Zhang Guan nodded: "Director Ma has already told me, but the center has decided to rehire Yu Gui, I think Yu Gui will not be able to retire in the past two years." ”

"In addition, the list of the track and field team to go to Athens has been decided, and there are 66 coaches and athletes. is also the leader of Director Luo and the deputy leader of Director Ma. Liu Feiren continued: "We sent a total of 22 people to participate in the Asian Games in the men's event. ”

"22 people? It's a lot, more than I thought. Zhang Guan said.

"Actually, in addition to the race walking event, the other events are one person to compete, oh, not counting a person like you who has several events." Liu Feiren crossed his fingers and counted Zhang Guan: "The 110-meter hurdles have me and Dashi, the 400-meter hurdles are Meng Yan, the 3000-meter hurdles are Lin Xiangqian, the 100-meter hurdles are Hu Kai, Wen Yongyi and you, the 200-meter is Yang Yao and you, the 400-meter is you, the 800-meter is you, and the 1500-meter is your ......."

Liu Feiren said this, as if he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, when it comes to the 800-meter and 1500-meter middle-distance runs, the team also has a special mid-distance coach for you, and it may be reported soon!" ”

"Running coach?" Zhang Guan suddenly felt a little irritable.

For Zhang Guan, if it was other events, Zhang Guan would definitely accept it with a special coach, but in the middle distance running, Zhang Guan was not prepared to spend time on special practice.

Zhang Guan's middle-distance running all relies on a "follow running" skill, which is how fast the person in front of him runs, Zhang Guan will run as fast as he can, so it doesn't matter to Zhang Guan whether he practices running in the middle or not. Zhang Guan felt that with that extra time, it was better to practice physical strength and endurance.

"No, I have to go to Director Ma to talk about this, don't arrange a middle running coach for me." (To be continued.) )
