Of course, these people also include Zhou Qingfeng. Although Zhou Qingfeng was sent to pick up the plane, he was not an insider.
However, he had heard a lot of rumors through the grapevine, so he looked at Li Xiao with such curiosity now.
However, due to the opponent's legendary and profound background, he did not dare to show it too obviously.
You felt something was wrong with Zhou Qingfeng's eyes, and you suddenly shuddered.
He had heard that because athletes often need to train, their hormone secretion is three or four times that of ordinary people, so that they need to prepare a large number of condoms for every Olympic Games.
Could it be that this Zhou Qingfeng is the legendary man?
Thinking of this, he shivered all over, and a layer of cold sweat wet his back.
He quickly and quietly retreated to the side, taking two steps away from the opponent, for fear of being attacked by the opponent.
However, I think that my current physical fitness is not comparable to that of ordinary people. If the other party is really disadvantageous to me, I can easily solve it.
However, Li Xiao's worries were obviously unnecessary. Two people with evil intentions were thinking about completely different things.
One is thinking about how to please the other party, while the other is worried that the other party will draw a sword against him.
The National Sports Team's residence is very close to Nanyuan Airport. Zhou Qingfeng drove his not-so-good business car and arrived at the residence in only half an hour.
Sure enough, as Xie Bing and the others said, the guards here are quite strict. Just entering the perimeter requires checking identity information and showing relevant documents.
Moreover, Zhou Qingfeng needed a release slip to bring people in, and the other party was an armed policeman with live ammunition.
It was not those old security uncles, this was what shocked Li Xiao the most.
Zhou Qingfeng returned and the commercial vehicle continued to drive towards the station. He seemed to notice Li Xiao's surprise and explained:
"There's no way we have to act like this. After all, what's inside is the country's elite sports force. If it is deliberately destroyed by other enemy elements, then our more than ten years of training will be in vain."
Hearing Zhou Qingfeng's explanation, he nodded somewhat suddenly. It did make sense.
You must know that it is not easy to gather so many people. Such a small group of people have been selected through layers of screening among more than a billion people.
It took more than ten years of training to achieve today's achievements. If someone were to take the pot before going on the field, even if the culprit was cut into pieces, there would be no way to express the anger in his heart.
Soon Zhou Qingfeng parked the car, and Li Xiao did not pick up the luggage, but followed him towards the destination alone.
He was just here for a routine report this time, and he didn't live here. If he didn't need to sign some documents and an application for joining the team in person, he wouldn't even bother to make such a trip.
Along the way, Li Xiao could feel a lot of eyes on him. He was a little confused and didn't know why so many people were looking at him.
But he quickly came to his senses. These people might not be looking at him, but at Zhou Qingfeng beside him.
Could it be that the other party is a talented player? After all, in such a highly professional place, only extremely capable people, or handsome guys and beauties, will attract more attention.
And the other party is obviously not handsome, so it can only be the former.
Li Xiao had a smile on his face and nodded to the athletes around him who were paying attention.
After all, he is also from Guangdong, and he feels deeply honored to see so many talents emerging from his hometown.
Since Zhou Qingfeng is like a lump on an elm tree, he doesn't even know how to say hello to others when they pay him attention.
Then just say hello to everyone on your behalf. After all, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. If you remain aloof and aloof, you won't be able to make many good friends.
He didn't want his fellow countryman to be ostracized by others because he was too lonely.
The two soon arrived at an office, and Li Xiao raised his head to observe the [Reporting Office].
Zhou Qingfeng knocked on the door and then said:
"Director Feng, I brought it to you."
People in the office did not hesitate and responded quickly:
"Bring it in quickly."
The wooden door of the office was pushed open, and Zhou Qingfeng and Li Xiao filed in. After Li Xiao saw the people in the office clearly.
He was stunned for a moment, then rubbed the corners of his eyes, and then a look of excitement appeared on his face.
"Mr. Feng Guocai? It's really you, you are my idol!"
He really didn't expect to see his childhood idol in this place.
Feng Guocai won the first and last Olympic gold medal for the Han Dynasty in the 110-meter hurdles event.
It was so valuable that it attracted the attention of the whole country. He could remember the news broadcast back then, which repeated this feat almost three times a day.
Although Feng Guocai was later unable to participate in the next Olympics due to tendon strain and rupture, his achievements were unforgettable by the Han people.
Although many angry youths on the Internet later criticized Feng Guocai for being a short-lived man who retired after only participating in one Olympics and could not win more glory for the country.
But only those who have known him know that Feng Guocai did not just win this gold medal. He has won more than 40 gold medals in many heavyweight international competitions.
But these angry youths always only focus on the fact that Feng Guocai only participated in one Olympic Games and retired to smear and attack him.
Of course, there is another reason why Li Xiao regards him as his idol, that is, Feng Guocai is from Dongguan, Guangdong, and he is a true fellow countryman.
As the saying goes, when a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, his eyes well up with tears.
Feng Guocai did not look down on Li Xiao because of his status. He was qualified to view video materials and electronic records.
So he understood very well how terrifying the young man in front of him was.
Li Xiaolun felt his hand being held tightly by a pair of calloused hands and heard Feng Guocai say:
"Great, the Great Han Kingdom, after waiting for so many years, we are finally waiting for you!"
This sentence was a bit too strong. Not only was Zhou Qingfeng next to him stunned, but Li Xiao was also startled.
If anyone else said such a thing, Li Xiao would just laugh it off. After all, everyone is carrying the sedan chair, and bragging about others is something that many people like to do.
But the person who said such words was indeed the number one sprinter in the Han Dynasty.
The meaning was completely different. He really didn't dare to accept such praise and praise from the other party.
"No, no, no, no, Mr. Feng, you are too flattering to me. How can I deserve such words? You must never say such things."
Feng Guocai took a deep look at Li Xiao, nodded, and did not continue to say anything else. Instead, he took him directly to prepare to register for the team.
The two became three and walked towards the registration center.
Zhou Qingfeng is a little strange. On weekdays, the registration center is very crowded. Only in December when he retires and in January when he joins the team, there will be more people here.
The rest of the time, no one really comes here. After all, everyone’s training almost fills up their daily time. Who comes here to play when they are idle and bored?
But today is different. From time to time, you can see people in twos and threes pointing in this direction from a distance.
This feeling was so familiar that Li Xiao thought he was back on the provincial sports team.
But he didn't care. After all, there were far more people looking at him than here. Some things seemed to have become natural once he was used to them.
Li Xiao originally thought that he would get the certificate of joining the team soon, and then after officially joining the team, he could go to the hotel he booked to put away his luggage.
Maybe he can drop by the arena tomorrow to check out the environment, because the official match will be the day after tomorrow, and he doesn't have so much time to waste here.
When Feng Guocai heard the staff member's words, his eyes widened, his fingers clenched into fists, and he seemed to want to lie down on the table if he disagreed.
However, many years of administrative work after retiring have also tempered his fiery temper, and he is no longer the explosive keg he once was.
He took a deep breath and asked the staff:
"Who gave this order?"
However, before the staff could answer, there was a sound of footsteps behind everyone, and then a majestic voice came from behind:
"Why is Director Feng dissatisfied with my decision? This decision was made by me. After all, the previous decision on such an important matter was too rash, so I decided to conduct another test at the headquarters of our national team."
Feng Guocai turned around and saw the person coming, his brows furrowed even more tightly, and he asked in a bad tone:
"Zhanfei, are you going to cause trouble? Video records, inspection reports, electronic records, and three-in-one documents are all complete. Why are you so rash?"
The person called Zhan Fei is a middle-aged man in his 40s who is similar in age to Feng Guocai and is over 1.9 meters tall.
Although he is a bit older, his body shape is still quite good, and his strong muscles can be seen through his clothes, which is very oppressive.
Zhan Fei said calmly:
"I am not targeting anyone in this matter, but seeking truth from facts."
"After all, if an amateur athlete without any results suddenly achieves such results, everyone would be suspicious, right?"
"If we only test in the provincial team and then directly enter the national team, if any problems arise at that time, who will bear the responsibility?"
Feng Guocai waved his hand, then patted his chest and said generously:
"If there's any problem, I'll be responsible for it. Hurry up and finish the formalities for Xiao Xiao. He has other things to do the day after tomorrow and has no time to bother with you."
Hearing Feng Guocai's words, Zhan Fei shook his head with an intriguing smile on his face:
"Are you in such a hurry? You can't wait for a day or two? Are you feeling guilty? I've heard that the higher authorities are preparing to introduce policies to increase sports funding in different provinces and cities. Aren't you Guangdong people eyeing this money?"
Feng Guocai could no longer hold back this time. He slapped his huge palm on the stainless steel workbench next to him with a loud bang. He pointed at Zhan Fei and was about to vent the anger that had been suppressed for more than ten years.
But the thick finger was grabbed by a hand. Feng Guocai looked to the side along the palm of his hand. The person grabbing his finger was Li Xiao beside him.
Li Xiao smiled and spoke easily:
"It's okay, Uncle Feng. There's no problem at all here. Why don't I take the test now, because I have a competition the day after tomorrow! There's really no way to delay it."
Contest?
The onlookers and Zhan Fei were puzzled. Everyone's brains were running wildly, wondering what kind of sports competition would be held tomorrow?
Someone whispered:
"Could it be the Yinchuan Marathon, but that's not right, it won't start for several days!"
"I remember there is a provincial sprint competition next Wednesday, but the time doesn't match up, right?"
"Tomorrow? I don't remember there is any important game tomorrow?"
As the onlookers communicated and confirmed that there would be no important games tomorrow, everyone's discussion became even louder.
At first, everyone was worried about Li Xiao's legendary background, but they held the idea that if others say it, they can say it themselves.
The surrounding chatter became louder and louder, and eventually even the person being discussed heard it.
Li Xiao could only say helplessly:
"Sorry, I didn't make it clear. It's not a sports competition, it's a chef competition. The day after tomorrow it's a one-star chef competition, and I'm a contestant."
"In addition, the reason why I want to become a part-time athlete is purely to win glory for the country. I have no other ideas. I am not here to compete with you for power."
"Anyway, when you need to compete, just send me on the field."
The noise around them suddenly became quiet after they heard that Li Xiao was participating in a star chef competition, and they also came to their senses.
The other party's job is a food anchor, so it seems natural to participate in the star chef competition.
In fact, they thought it was wrong, but when they heard the second half of Li Xiao's words, they all became agitated.
Because Li Xiao's tone was so understated, it seemed that as long as he participated in the competition, he would definitely get a ranking or even win the championship directly.
His overly relaxed attitude makes athletes like them who train hard every day very uncomfortable.
However, Li Xiao continued to speak:
"Since you don't believe it and you need me to test it, then hurry up. The hotel I booked needs to be signed in before 4 pm, otherwise the hotel will cancel it."
Zhan Fei showed a proud smile on his face and opened his mouth:
"Don't worry, just rest in the dormitory for a day. After all, after catching a flight all day to get here, your physical condition must be not good."
"Let's warm up well tomorrow and then start the test. Anyway, didn't you say you won't start the game until the day after tomorrow?"
Although it was for the better, I wanted him to have a good rest and be in a better condition to take the test.
But in fact, he was worried that if Li Xiao got bad grades, he would use his poor condition as an excuse. In order to silence Li Xiao, he specifically asked him to take a day off.
But this proposal was rejected by Li Xiao. He shook his head:
"If I just run out of the last test, that's enough in my current state. There's no need to rest."
The tone of Li Xiao's words was not as polite as before, because he also heard the other party's repeated attacks.
Although he doesn't like to cause trouble, he is definitely not someone who is afraid of trouble, especially when he is justified.
The surroundings were in an uproar. Everyone was a professional athlete, and they knew very well that the condition of an athlete has a huge impact on performance.
Don't say exercise immediately as soon as you get off the plane. Most athletes in sports events need to arrive at the local area a few days in advance.
It is used to adapt to the local climate and temperature, and to go near the competition venue to feel the environment of the venue so that you can perform at your highest level.
After all, sports are only as small as a thousand miles apart. One second may be the difference between a world-class champion and a national-level champion.
The subtext of what Li Xiao said is that no matter what his physical condition is, he can easily cope with the test of the national team.
His words no longer reflected confidence in everyone's minds, but arrogance and conceit.
Feng Guocai immediately wanted to stop Li Xiao's impulsive behavior. He also knew how tired he was just after getting off the plane.
He didn't want Li Xiao to drag his tired body to the test. If he didn't get the best result because of his impatience, that would be troublesome.
Zhan Fei was waiting for now, and he quickly agreed:
"Okay, this is what you said. I will take you to take the test now. But if your test result is not good, don't use the excuse that you are too tired just after getting off the plane."
"But even if you start the test now, you probably won't be able to get to the hotel before 4 o'clock. A test takes a long time."
Li Xiao shook his head helplessly. As expected, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. He sighed softly:
"No problem, I just need to hurry up. The last time I did the test with the provincial team, it only took three or four hours. It's only around 10 o'clock now. I'll try my best to hurry up and I should be able to catch up."
Three, four hours?
When Li Xiao said that he had completed the test in three or four hours, everyone around him was shocked. Isn't this too damn fast?
Is the other party's data really forged as the rumors say?
After all, the time required for this test is obviously wrong, and such a loophole is too obvious.
Each test usually requires three rounds of testing. Usually, six or seven hours is not enough in one trip. Including the lunch break, it is estimated that one trip will last eight or nine hours.
Zhan Fei has been in the national team for many years. Of course, he is well aware of the time required for a test. It is obviously impossible to complete the entire test in three or four hours.
Sure enough, the person named Li Xiao in front of me is really a forged genius from the Guangdong Provincial Sports Team. I don’t know what they want to do?
After all, fake geniuses can be broken with one poke.
Li Xiao is already familiar with the testing process, after all, it was just completed some time ago.
The urine test sample was quickly sent to the testing center of the headquarters, and the results were obtained within ten minutes without any problems.
At the same time, it also broke the news that had been circulating among everyone some time ago that the other party had used excessive amounts of illegal drugs.
After all, illegal drugs have very strong residual properties and will not disappear from the body every three days. Normally, anyone who has taken illegal drugs within 30 days can be detected.
This time the number of referees has also been changed from 4 to 6, and in order to avoid favoritism and fraud, these 6 referees are decided by drawing lots.
