In the video, the fight between Quinn and his daughter continues, and more shocking news comes out one after another...
"Last time in Toronto, before the North American Star of Hope event, you promised me, for the last time, on your grandmother's grave that you would never take spinach from me again." Harley was very angry.
Then, she sighed earnestly: "When I was a child, I was not very famous and my skills were not mature, so I could cooperate with you again and again to fight against match-fixing.
But now, I have defeated countless Olympic seeded athletes and am recognized as the smile queen by the team. As the queen of gymnastics who is about to reach the top, I can no longer fail casually.
Even in every game, I have to do my best to defend my honor.
In two years, when I can participate in the World Championships, how much endorsement fees will I not earn? Why should I go to the manure pit to pick up money when I can stand in the sunshine and flowers?"
In the office.
Harley is very embarrassed. Is this self-inflicted?
Time and time again... What kind of punishment will she receive for match-fixing, outside betting, and game manipulation?
"No wonder you, who showed Olympic-level strength, lost to a group of kids last time..." Ms. White glanced at her.
"I don't want to, it's all about cutting wood..." she said weakly.
In order to cut down trees, Americans can be forgiven even for killing people and setting fires. This is how it is shown in the movies, isn't it?
"It's so hard for you!" Ms. White's face softened a little and she sighed: "Your father, Mr. Andy Quinn, is really terrible."
Then, there was a moment of silence, with only the video on Dell's laptop continuing.
Dad Andy waved his hand and shouted: "I only made five thousand dollars last time. Gotham is a big city, how long can a mere five thousand dollars last? Wait two years, by the time you get the endorsement, our family will be bankrupt!"
After a pause, he tilted his head and said in a low voice: "I remember my oath, Toronto is the last time. I didn't ask you to help me cheat this time, I relied on my own ability."
In his dual capacity as a coach and a father, breaking his daughter's leg during the competition is just based on his own abilities?
Harley was so angry that she laughed.
"Okay, five thousand dollars is useless. How much did you invest this time? You are so angry."
Andy's eyes flickered, he touched his nose and said angrily: "Harry, you know, I love you, and I don't want to hurt you.
Therefore, in order to be tired from logging and not to disturb the old grandmother in the grave, I decided to wash my hands and go ashore after finishing this job."
Harry's heart skipped a beat, and she asked in a trembling voice, "So, you lost all the money you could lose in the next life this time? Farke, how much is it?"
Andy made a scissor hand gesture.
"Twenty thousand dollars?"
"Add another zero..."
"Crackling..."
In the office, Harley leaned forward and quickly closed her laptop. The "parent-child game" between a loving father and a filial daughter was interrupted on the screen.
The atmosphere was very awkward.
Harley was very angry and said angrily: "Where is the law? Where is Millikin's free will? Where is my right to privacy?
Isn’t this secret filming of female athletes’ lounges against the Constitution of the Rice Emperor? I’m going to send a lawyer’s letter to those bastards!”
"The lounge is not a changing room or a toilet. Isn't your father in there too? Moreover, the North American Gymnastics Federation borrows the gymnasium from Metropolitan University. Metropolitan University is not the organizer. All students in the university know that there are cameras in the lounge.
so......"
Ms. White shook her head, "Who are you suing?"
Harley immediately asked: "Does this video have any legal effect?"
"This..." Ms. White's expression was a little strange, "Harry, maybe I didn't make it clear. It's not that the Gymnastics Federation wants to mess with you. In fact, they are also very upset right now.
Like you, they wish they could go back three days and smash the Metropolitan University surveillance system."
"American sports leagues are extremely market-oriented, just like the NBA, and you are the league's foreseeable and precious asset.
You are like Jordan who has not yet participated in the draft. Will David Stern recruit Jordan?" the principal said meaningfully.
Harley reacted and said thoughtfully: "In other words, this videotape was not actively sought by alliance officials, but someone used it to report me to the alliance?"
Ms. White nodded lightly, "So, the alliance will not litigate with you. If we really resort to law, your father will probably go to jail."
Because not only did he bet on his own, he was also involved with Gotham’s underground gambling companies.”
Harley was silent.
Of course her family didn't have $200,000 to gamble with Andy, those were loan sharks from "Russian" Nikolai.
And Nicola is one of the ten major family members under the command of Carmel Falcone, the godfather of Hedao.
Harley sighed and asked, "Will the Alliance punish me?"
"Do you even need to ask?" Ms. White rolled her eyes, "Rules are always more important than individuals!
For example, the top players in the NBA today are Kobe and James. If they walk and elbow people, the referee may blow the star whistle to favor them.
But if they dare to fight on the court, do you think David Stern will ban them from the game?
If there is no conclusive evidence, the Gymnastics Federation will not care about you, let alone actively look for evidence against you. But now that the videotape is on the president's desk, can they turn a blind eye?"
"Am I going to be suspended?"
Ms. White adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose and nodded gently, "At least two years——"
"Oh, two years? I'll be old in two years," Hallie shouted.
The old principal glanced at the young girl who was so young that she could pinch water, and said calmly: "Are you implying that I am very old?"
Harley was stunned for a moment before catching up with the other person's thoughts.
"Mrs. White, you don't know that many boys in the school use you as their midnight fantasy object!"
Harley gave him a flattery first, then frowned and said, "For a gymnast, two years is too long and too precious."
"The Beijing Olympics will happen to be in two years' time. Your job is not small. You should be satisfied if you can catch up with the Olympics."
After a pause, Ms. White added: "Actually, the two-year suspension is just a punishment from the Gymnastics Federation."
"What else?" Harley asked with a frown.
"First of all, your father was fired." Ms. White raised a finger.
In this life, Harley can barely be considered a sports family.
Andy was a quarterback when he was young, but unfortunately he was not talented enough and liked gambling. He worked as a substitute for the Denver Broncos for half a year, but was bought out and terminated by the team because he was suspected of betraying his teammates' information to a gambling company.
Seeing that he could no longer make it in the NFL, he returned to his hometown high school and became a physical education teacher based on his experience in professional leagues and the bachelor's degree in kinesiology he obtained in college.
Andy has been Harley's coach since she was four years old.
At the beginning of last year, Harley defeated the Chinese table tennis youth team and became famous all over the world. After discovering that she has Olympic-level talents in gymnastics, tennis, basketball, baseball and other sports, many high schools in the United States offered her an olive branch.
The Quinn family chose Gotham City High School because they were willing to provide Harley's parents with a decent job: Andy worked as a teacher at the city high school and continued to be her coach, and my mother worked as a lobbyist in a hotel owned by Wayne Group.
manager.
Harley has long wanted to escape from her hometown. Tulsa is a more perverted and darker place than Gotham in its "peak".
Moreover, Master Wayne is still in high school, which means that the Batman fan club will only appear n years later. Gotham at this time is not too dangerous...
"Second, your scholarship may have to be suspended."
Harley said dissatisfied: "In the past, I won more than a dozen medals for the school, including table tennis, gymnastics, basketball, baseball, and track and field. In the future, I will not graduate until 2008, and I may earn three
Four Olympic gold medals; now, is it necessary for the school to treat me like this?"
"Hey, who do you think is the boss in this school?" Mrs. White sighed.
"Who else besides you?"
"Of course not me," Principal White smiled bitterly. "Members of the Parents Committee can submit an application to remove me at any time, and Mrs. Martha is the president of the Parents Committee and also controls the Wayne Education Fund."
"The Wayne Education and Cultural Foundation is the sponsor of our school."
