Although he now has a first-level referee certificate, he doesn't often receive games. But now that he has the status of a special appointment, it is different. As long as there is a football game, he can basically sign up, and this income will immediately increase.

rise.

Chairman Zhu smiled and nodded, then looked at Xie Bing, who looked nervous:

"Xiao Bing, you have been retired for so long and you are almost done playing. Hurry up and apply for the next level one referee certificate. Then see if you can come back as an alternate referee. What do you think?"

First class referee certificate?

Xie Bing felt a little emotional. He had turned his hair gray because of this certificate.

After all the hard work, he couldn't get anything done in the end, not only because he didn't want to flatter people, but most importantly, he didn't have the money to treat people to dinner or give gifts, so in the end nothing was done.

Unexpectedly, I went to exercise with some old teammates during my vacation and met Li Xiao. Now it is even more because Li Xiao has obtained this coveted certificate.

"Thank you, thank you so much, Chairman Zhu."

Chairman Zhu pressed his hands and said politely:

"I want to thank you for this. You have found a good seed for the province and the country."

After chatting with the two, they were rewarded in disguise. The two helped the province find talents. Any results Li Xiao obtains in the future will be linked to the provincial team.

After speaking, Chairman Zhu raised his reading glasses and looked at Li Xiao carefully up and down.

"This body is really made to be an athlete, but I am a little too old. It would be great if I were 10 years younger."

There was some regret in his tone. He had been one of the country's first athletes since he was 16 years old and had fought for the country. It could be said that he had achieved great success. However, due to the imperfect training system at that time, everyone suffered more.

He thought that if Li Xiao had such physical fitness, if he had been training since he was young and started participating in competitions at the age of 18, he would have already gained a pretty good reputation for the country of Han in the world.

And now Li Xiao is not applying for a full-time athlete, but a part-time one, which is even more pity.

Part-time athletes, for example, cannot participate in training most of the time. They can only insist on exercising in their spare time, and participate in group training before large-scale competitions.

He originally wanted to use his position in the provincial team to make Li Xiao change his mind. After all, government offices are very popular no matter where they are.

But after his staff checked the information, he immediately gave up the idea.

After all, Li Xiao's current salary is much higher than that of a public employee, and the three melons and two dates in his provincial team are probably not looked down upon by others.

My monthly salary as chairman is just over 30,000 yuan. Even if I give up this position to the other party, I'm afraid the other party won't even take a look.

There was no other way. There was no good way to lure him with benefits, but he still tried it:

"Then, how about I call you Xiao Li? Is it okay if I call you like this?"

Li Xiao nodded quickly. This old man was as old as his grandfather. Of course it was appropriate to call him Xiao Li.

"Of course, Xiao Li is very good."

"That's right, the national team has sent us a letter saying they hope you can join their team."

"At the same time, we have also approved your application to become a part-time athlete of the national team, but you are currently a substitute member."

"In addition, I still hope that you can consider whether you can work full-time, even if it is only for one or two years. After all, the next summer will be the next Olympics."

He knew that his request was a bit excessive, and he was not a bad old man who would not change his ways.

He also has a certain understanding of live broadcasting, and he understands what one or two years means to a host.

He immediately added:

"As long as you are willing to work full-time, I can apply to the above to allow you to live broadcast in your spare time during training."

"Don't refuse in a hurry. The national team has quite a few high-end restaurants in the capital. You go to one every day and don't bring the same thing for a year, right?"

"I can even help you apply to reduce your daily training time. If others train for 8 hours, you can train for 4 hours. The remaining 4 hours are for you. You are completely free to do whatever you want. What do you think of this?"

To be honest, this condition seems a bit generous even to an outsider like Li Xiao who doesn't understand it at all.

After all, that is the national team. How many teenagers across the country want to join this place? How can I say that I will make an exception?

However, such a condition was spoken out by the old man lightly, and judging by his posture, he could realize it as soon as he agreed, because the other party did not even say such uncertain words as possible or maybe maybe.

But Li Xiao is no longer a child. He cannot be easily persuaded by others in a few words. He knows exactly what he needs to do.

He actually doesn't have much interest in doing sports. At first, it was just to keep his body healthy. After all, after eating and drinking all day long, his figure will probably be out of shape in a short time. He doesn't want to become a 200-pound person in middle age.

Big fat man.

However, while checking in, I suddenly acquired several sports-related skills, and unexpectedly found that my results were already very good.

Moreover, the various attribute points that often appeared in rewards recently seemed to be the system that never spoke, explicitly or secretly reminding him that he could work a little harder in this area.

But now he only needs to practice morning exercises for half an hour every day, and he can easily reach a point that others cannot achieve after more than ten years of hard training, so he is very happy to work hard for the country.

After all, Han Chinese athletes are never seen on the field, which always makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, he can become a part-time athlete, and participating in competitions when necessary is the limit. If you want him to stay at the training ground to train all day long, it is a bit unrealistic.

He didn't hesitate for long, he said with an apology on his face and a very firm tone:

"I'm afraid I can't agree to this matter, Chairman Zhu. After all, I still need to consider my life and work, and in my career plan, sports are actually not within the scope of my consideration."

"The reason why I want to join now is purely because I am a Han Chinese and want to contribute to my country."

As if he could hear Li Xiao's determination, the old man sighed and nodded:

"Okay, you are not a child anymore. Now that you have made a decision, just follow your decision."

"I have opened a special channel for you to apply for your first-level athlete qualification. You should be able to get it after lunch at noon."

"As for the national team, don't rush now. After all, it's almost the Chinese New Year. During the Spring Festival travel period, it's hard to buy air tickets and high-speed rail tickets. You can also go there after the Chinese New Year to go through the formalities for joining the team."

"As for the specific situation of the participating places, it depends on the arrangements of the national team. However, I also said hello to a few old friends there and will try my best to arrange a few national-level games for you first so that you can familiarize yourself with the game.

atmosphere of."

Li Xiao never expected that he would become a first-level athlete and successfully become an alternate member of the national team.
