Chapter 024: Where Will I Go Next?
After going to the locker room to take a shower and change into sportswear, Duke went to the standby area to watch the rest of the game. He can't leave the swimming pool for the time being, and in about ten minutes, he will stand on the podium again and receive his second gold medal in this Universiade.
The swimming team will leave Jinmen tomorrow and return to Nangang, Du Ke looked around the natatorium of Jinmen University of Science and Technology for a week, the audience stands were boiling, and the athletes in the pool fought hard, and he was a little reluctant to leave. A place that leaves a good memory, people are always willing to stay for an extra moment.
Duke's memories at this swimming pool are absolutely good, because he has gained a lot, championships, gold medals, glory, accolades, and in addition to that, he has completed his first daily mission.
After winning the 100-meter freestyle, the system awarded Duke 20 bonus points.
And that's not all, there is also a bonus, Duke broke the Universiade 100m men's freestyle record with a time of 50.56 seconds, and won another 10 bonus points.
In fact, he completed two daily missions in a single match, earning a total of 30 bonus points. As for how to use the 30 bonus points, Duke thought about saving them first, there have been no competitions recently, and after researching and researching, it won't expire anyway.
"Earned, haha!" One race and two daily routines, it's also cool to think about it, Du Ke smiled.
"Of course, the two gold medals, although they are not pure gold, but they also have a bit of gold content, and the two gold pieces are sold together to the gold store, and they can be sold for thousands. Lao Tzu's monthly salary is only a few thousand, and you can earn it in two days. Hu Yucheng held a gold medal in his hand, this is the 400m gold medal won by Du Ke yesterday, he sighed at the gold medal, flicked it with his fingers, put it in his ears to listen to the sound, put it in his mouth and bit it, and used his local method to identify the purity of gold.
Du Keyi said solemnly: "Can you take the gold medal and sell it!" If it were a day when the mountains and rivers were at the end of my day, I would rather sell a kidney than a gold medal. β
"You pay you back, put it away, just talk about it, you won this gold medal under my leadership, our city team has provided you with a professional training place and a meal match carefully arranged by the nutritionist, so our city team also has shares, you want to sell it I don't agree with it." What else can't an athlete who can sell a gold medal do? Hu Yucheng handed the gold medal back to Du Ke.
Du Ke took the gold medal and wiped the surface of the gold medal with his sleeve, which Hu Yucheng bit with his teeth just now. Then he put the gold medal in his trouser pocket like a baby, and then a leader came to the standby area of the Nanyue team, and the team leader Liang Bingsheng came.
Director Liang congratulated and praised the swimming team and Du Ke, and joked that at this historic moment, as the team leader, he must be there to witness the moment when Du Ke received the gold medal.
Director Liang is also quite busy, he is a responsible leader, he rushed to several venues in one day, he just came from the martial arts competition next door, the Nanyue martial arts team has just won a gold medal in Taijiquan.
First, there is a sense of responsibility, and second, the comprehensive results of the Nanyue team in the Universiade are linked to the performance of Director Liang. In the last Universiade, the gold medal points won by the Nanyue team ranked 7th. In this Universiade, the Nanyue team has to at least maintain the seventh ranking in the country, and Director Liang explained the past as the team leader.
What are the leaders of the sports system busy with? How is the performance of the sports system measured? Isn't it just busy producing results and sending high-level athletes to the national team?
If an athlete from a province represents the national team and achieves good results in international competitions, the province will be praised by the state and will receive more national support and resources. Achieving good results in large-scale domestic competitions will also be appropriately valued by the state. This is similar to the ancient martial arts champion, whichever region has a champion, the people of the whole region will beat gongs and drums to celebrate for a few days, and the magistrate will also be rewarded.
Liang Bingsheng exchanged a few words with Du Ke alone, of course, it was also an official compliment. After the official courtesy, Liang Bingsheng also said a few words of homely things to Du Ke as an elder, and they lived in the same community and said that they were familiar with each other, Liang Bingsheng said: "Du Ke, your mother is my colleague, and you have grown up watching you since childhood, so I am very pleased that you have achieved good results", this is indeed the truth.
At this time, the staff of the organizing committee came and reminded Du Ke to prepare and present the award immediately.
Five or six minutes later, the award ceremony began.
Doucle was on the podium again and claimed his second gold medal. The guest who presented the award to him was Director Qin from the Swimming Sports Management Center.
Although Director Qin had already noticed Du Ke, he didn't show too much attention when presenting the awards, and he gave the top three contestants awards and said "congratulations" very procedurally, and this was the end.
After stepping off the podium, Du Ke's journey to Tianjin is over, and he has half a day to move freely, and he will take the high-speed train home tomorrow morning.
On the way to the exit of the swimming pool, Duke was stopped by a man.
"Su Yun, what are you doing? I haven't seen you for the past few days, where have you gone? β
Du Ke looked at the girl in front of her, ponytail, white T-shirt, jeans, board shoes, she had a small and fresh tone without powder, it was Su Yun.
Su Yun hung a camera around his neck, held a voice recorder in his hand, and said very seriously: "General Du Jian, can I interview you?" β
Du Ke felt a little funny: "Don't make trouble, let's go, let's withdraw." There is still half a day to move freely, let's go to the commercial street of Jinmen and buy some souvenirs to take home. β
"Who's messing with you? Stand up, shoulder level, give my sister a smile! Su Yun picked up the camera, the camera pointed at Du Ke's face, to take a picture of him, while fiddling with the camera to adjust the focus and flash, she said: "Oh, I forgot to say, I am now an intern reporter." If you don't interview someone who you interview? Come, cooperate, sister take the material. β
"Reporter, who are you fooling?" Du Ke felt more and more funny, he didn't treat Su Yun as an outsider, and the two often joked or something, and he asked again: "Do you have a press card?" β
Su Yun put down the camera, put it in the back pocket of his jeans, took out a document and showed it to Du Ke: "See clearly!" β
Du Ke carefully observed this document, and a photo was posted on the certificate, which was Su Yun's blue-background ID photo, and there were words, Du Ke read while reading: "Sulang.com, intern reporter: Su Yun, intern number: A17983...... Hey? It can't be a fake Zheng from you, right? "That's what he said, but Du Ke basically believed it, and the certificate was stamped with the red seal of the speed wave network, Su Yun shouldn't be so bored to make a fake.
Su Yun put away his intern press card and pointed to the media area: "I have been in the media area since yesterday and started to engage in journalism, don't forget what major I studied." β
"Yes, you're studying journalism, and you'll be a junior after the summer vacation, so it's time to practice." Du Ke suddenly realized, "Sulang.com, big website, anyway, you were still an athlete a few days ago, why did you cross the border the next day?" β
"Hey." Su Yun sighed and continued: "On the first day of the swimming preliminaries, I was eliminated in the two small events I participated in, and I didn't even enter the second round of preliminaries, which is called a miserable and miserable relative. In fact, I myself know my level, and not everyone has such a fantasy golden finger for athletic talent. I'm just having a good time in amateur competitions, and I can't get on the big scene. β
"This time I came to participate in the National Universiade, mainly to fulfill one of my own wishes, after all, once every four years, I can meet once I study as an undergraduate. I don't want to have any regrets, but I don't expect too much, I knew a few years ago that I can't be a professional swimmer with my usual talent, but I do like swimming a lot, so I've been training and hoping to continue what I love for a few years. β
"Today, I solemnly announce that I have retired, and the swimming world will be left to you young people in the future. It's time for me to get down to business and fulfill my other dream, which is to become a journalist. It's easier to be a journalist than to be a professional swimmer. β
"Keep your sister...... You're only less than 20 years old, and you're still left to us young people......" Du Ke complained with a smile, "Then I wish Su Ji's dream to come true one day and become a generation of celebrities." So you're a sports journalist? β
"Hmm." Su Yun nodded, "Actually, I started to study and practice at the South China Station of the Speed Wave Network a few months ago. It's not easy for them to go in for an internship on a portal like this, but fortunately, my mother works at the radio and television news port, so it's in charge of them. β
"I begged my mother to say hello to their stationing boss, hehe, make reasonable use of existing resources...... I took the initiative to ask for an internship in the sports department, and I happened to have the opportunity to catch up with the Universiade this time, so I applied with my editor, took some materials on the spot, wrote a manuscript, and I didn't know if I could publish it, so I tried it. Okay, the background setting is clear, come on, you move your position, yes, turn your back to the pool, show your two gold medals, and give my sister a crazy and cool evil smile. β
According to Su Yun's instructions, Du Ke took out the gold medal and put a few poses, and asked Su Yun to take pictures of the materials.
took a set of photos, and Su Yun took the voice recorder to Du Ke's mouth again: "Hello Du Ke, I am Su Yun, a reporter from Sulang Sports, you performed exceptionally well in the swimming competition of this Universiade, won two gold medals and broke the Universiade record, do you have anything to say to everyone?" β
"Poof!" Duke couldn't help but laugh.
Su Yun turned off the recording and said angrily: "Your sister, Du Ke! What are you laughing at? Seriously, what about the interview! β
Du Ke couldn't laugh anymore, and waved his hand laughingly: "Haha, no, no, no, we are too familiar, the painting style is wrong, this is not a fantasy stream, but a bit of a supernatural rush." What do you want me to say? β
"Tell me about your growth experience, training and competition, summarize the past, look forward to the future, and thank the coach, leadership and Speed Wave Sports. Natural, won't say that? I think you're usually quite articulate. β
"You all know my upbringing and mental journey, it was you who pulled me into the school team to have the following plot. Su Yun, don't you just write it out? β
"If you want you to say it, you can say it!" Su Yun was a little annoyed and stomped his feet, "I'm a runaway intern reporter, I can't scribble, I have to record the audio to prevent the editor from spot-checking." Otherwise, why do you need us field reporters? Wouldn't it be enough to hire a few online writers to sit in the office and make jokes? β
"Oh, I see, that's ......" Du Ke adjusted his mood, and said a few words with Su Yun's voice recorder, to the effect that "I love swimming, I have been trained since I was a child, I am very happy to be able to realize my dream of the Universiade, thank my parents for their support to me, thank the coach and the leaders of the province and city for giving me this opportunity, I hope to go further on this road." β
NG once, the second PASS, Su Yun received the recorder, basically satisfied.
Du Ke suddenly said: "I finally broke the record of the competition, why did you send an intern reporter to interview me?" β
"Don't stink." Su Yun was unhappy, "It's good to have an intern reporter interview you." I don't want to hit you, you yourself said this, let me tell you the truth, no one sent me to interview you, I came to you because I was idle. Do you think that if you win two championships and break a record at the Universiade, you will be able to make headlines and be interviewed? Let's wait until you win the Olympic championship and the world championship! β
"In our speed wave network, the report on the swimming competition of the Universiade is actually a summary draft, a link of about one or two hundred words, an overview of the entire swimming competition, and then put two pictures on it and it's over. All the competitions in the entire Universiade section are only one-eighth the size of the screen, and you have to pull down to see it when you enter the homepage of Speed Wave Sports. What is dominating the screen now? Football, basketball, the NBA Finals, Euro 12, are all these popular sports. β
Du Ke was stunned: "Damn, we were all busy with that relationship just now?" And let me pose, what an evil smile, why don't you let me cross the catastrophe and soar, and the unicorn arm is now broken! β
Su Yun: "So I just said, I took the materials, wrote the first draft, and handed it to the editor to try." I want to do a special report on the rising stars of swimming.,The male protagonist is you.γ But you can only give it a try, and it may not be possible. If you are wronged, you should treat it as a practice pen for me. In case the editor-in-chief is happy, hey, it's over, then you will also become an Internet celebrity and a little demon in the swimming world. In these years, the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, and it has to rely on professional promoters to operate. To make money, first become famous. To be famous, you have to operate, you know? β
"Oh...... Your journalism industry is not shallow. Du Ke thought about it and asked, "So you're helping me operate?" Su Yun has worked hard for you, I am really touched. β
"Cut, don't think I think it is so good, we just use each other, you become a celebrity, I become famous, each takes what he needs. Duke you're still too young, too naΓ―ve, and sometimes naΓ―ve. Su Yun couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.
After laughing for a while, she said to Du Ke seriously: "Du Ke, I'm really optimistic about you, really." We grew up and trained together, and your physical fitness, athletic talent, and understanding of swimming are outstanding among your peers. I know you have your dreams, but you used to practice miscellaneously and wasted a few years. But now that you're back, I hope you can keep going, and a wider stage is waiting for you. β
"Actually, Coach Jiang is not your Bole, I am your Bole. I forcibly grabbed you into the school team, but I didn't expect to catch a double champion of the Universiade and a record-breaking double athlete, haha, but I have a sense of accomplishment, which is better than winning the championship myself. β
Du Ke knew that what Su Yun said in front was a joke, and what he said in the back was sincere, and he was moved in his heart.
Dream?
Duke is really looking forward to a bigger and broader stage.
The Universiade competition is over, where will the next stop be?
