As soon as Wang returned to the track and field team, the coaches had been waiting at the gate for a long time. They didn't let his luggage go, so they took his hand and ran to the cafeteria.
"Why did you come back?" The coaches complained as they ran.
"You gave me two hours' leave, I'm not late!" Wang Gang said innocently.
Coach Zhu looked anxious and said, "The city leaders heard that you were back and came over to offer condolences. They have been waiting for you for almost half an hour."
Wang Gang was surprised and said: "Why don't you ask someone to call me at my house?"
The coaches were sweating and said, "The leader won't let you go. He said it's rare for you to go home for reunion, so we shouldn't disturb you."
Wang Gang thought to himself that this leader was pretty good and caring about people.
The coaches took Wang Gang to the canteen of the sports team, where many people gathered, including the leaders of the track and field team, and some people Wang Gang didn't know.
As soon as Wang Gang arrived, he immediately became the focus of the audience. The coaches pulled him to a middle-aged man in his early forties.
"Chief, he is Qiao Erqiang." The coaches were very respectful when facing the middle-aged man.
"Young man, you are Qiao Erqiang." The middle-aged man probably didn't expect Wang Gang to be so young, so he was slightly stunned.
"Hello, Chief." Wang Gang complained a little bit that the coaches didn't introduce them to him on the way here. He didn't even know the leader's last name.
"What a hero!" The middle-aged man took the initiative to extend his right hand.
Wang Gang lowered his posture in a sensible manner and shook hands with the middle-aged man.
"Young man, you look about the same age as my daughter, and yet you are able to achieve such impressive results. You have brought glory to our Jinling!"
The middle-aged man didn't have any airs, but was very enthusiastic. He held Wang Gang's hand without letting go and kept praising him.
Wang Gang actually doesn't like dealing with these leaders, mainly because they are too tiring.
Fortunately, the middle-aged man in front of him is very kind and has no airs, which makes Wang Gang feel good.
"Speaking of which, the chief's daughter is a former classmate of the second team." The coaches smiled and approached.
"Really? You are also a student of Jinling Middle School." The middle-aged man said in surprise.
Wang Gang nodded subconsciously and said, "I studied at Jinling Middle School for one year, and then I dropped out after joining the track and field team."
The middle-aged man said happily: "Which class are you from? My daughter is also studying at Jinling Middle School. Maybe you guys know each other."
"I am from the 1984 class of Jinling Middle School, Class 1."
The middle-aged man opened his mouth, paused for two seconds, and then said to the secretary next to him: "Go and call me Nanfang."
Wang Gang was startled when he heard this, thinking it was not such a coincidence!
A few minutes later, the secretary ran over with a girl, who it wasn't Xiang Nanfang!
Seeing Xiang Nanfang again, the two of them were a little surprised.
"Top 2, this is my daughter Xiang Nanfang, who is also in Class 1 of 1984. Do you know her?"
When Xiang Nanfang saw Wang Gang, his eyes widened in surprise.
Wang Gang can only say that this world is really small.
"Xiang Nanfang and I are not only classmates, but also deskmates, but we have never seen each other since I dropped out of school," Wang Gang said honestly.
"Dad." After Xiang Nannan was surprised, he stood respectfully beside the middle-aged man and had no intention of talking to Wang Gang.
"Haha, what a coincidence." Father Xiang asked Wang Gang, "Since you were admitted to Jinling Middle School, your academic performance should be very good!"
Xiang Nannan said sourly: "Before Qiao Erqiang dropped out of school, he was always among the top three in our grade and first in the class."
Father Xiang said happily: "Okay, that's great. Studying is very important. Although you specialize in sports now, you can't give up studying."
The coaches smiled and said: "Chief, the members of our track and field team have not given up their cultural classes. The team has arranged special teachers. The top two have completed all cultural classes and graduated with first place."
"Oh!" Xiang's father was really surprised. At such a young age, Wang Gang had both civil and military skills, which was very rare.
"In that case, why don't you continue your studies?" Xiang Fu asked with concern.
"The team wants to wait until the top two get a spot on the Asian team and participate in the World Cup track and field competition, so they recommend him to go to Jinling University of Science and Technology for further study."
Father Xiang nodded and said: "Since Comrade Qiao Erqiang has a talent for reading, he should not hide it. Getting grades is important, but reading and studying are equally important. You must grasp it with both hands."
Wang Gang glanced at the coaches, but he never mentioned going to HKUST for further studies.
You must know that Jinling University of Science and Technology is one of the twenty best universities in the country. It is a university directly affiliated with Junwei University. Not everyone can attend it.
As long as you graduate from the University of Science and Technology, you are considered a reserve jungler, which shows how valuable it is.
Father Xiang expressed condolences to Wang Gang, not only caring about his life in the team, but also caring about his family.
They also had a meal together in the cafeteria in the evening, and Xiang Nanfang, as Wang Gang's old classmate, was arranged to sit next to him.
After a short exchange, Wang Gang also roughly knew that Xiang's father was a very important leader, and that he came from the army and had a close relationship with the sports team.
When Xiang Nanfang was eating, he was silent the whole time. He didn't say much, and he was eating rice all the time. However, he had the attitude of a soldier who was vigorous and resolute, not the kind of Xiaojiabiyu who chewed slowly and carefully.
Xiang's father also has a military style when it comes to eating. It seems that he has been educating his children with military standards since childhood.
This meal was a bit less social, but Wang Gang was quite happy.
After the meal, Xiang's father left in a hurry, probably because he had other work.
Instead, Xiang Nanfang was kept. Wang Gang later inquired with the coaches and found out that Xiang Nanfang was kept by Xiang's father during the summer vacation, eating, sleeping and practicing with the female members of the sports team to appreciate the hard work of the team members.
"The leader has this style. He has been strict with his children since he was a child. His eldest son was sent to the Artillery Academy to train with those soldiers, which made it even harder." The coaches sighed.
Wang Gang nodded and noticed that Xiang's father had a strong military aura.
"Coach, why didn't you mention the matter about HKUST to me?" Wang Gang asked again.
"The team held a meeting and decided that if you get good results in the track and field competition this time, we will recommend you to study at the University of Science and Technology. However, although there are places in the team, the admission requirements for the University of Science and Technology are too high. You still need to take the exam yourself and pass the test before you can be admitted.
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Gang is still very confident in his grades. It should not be difficult to pass the HKUST assessment.
"You should read more about the college entrance examination materials when you have time. If not, I will find a way to borrow them for you. The HKUST exam is very important. It affects your future career, so you must pay attention to it." Coach Zhu said seriously.
Wang Gang expressed his understanding and wondered whether he should mention it to Qiao Yicheng. He had just finished the college entrance examination and the review materials he had left behind were useful.
"You will go with me to go through the procedures for leaving the country tomorrow. Remember to dress smartly and take photos." Coach Zhu gave the final instruction, and then went about his own business.
Wang Gang had nothing to do, so he planned to go to the team's canteen to buy some towels and toothbrushes to take with him to Bangzi Country in the future.
When he arrived at the canteen, he happened to see Xiang Nanfang buying bread.
Wang Gang said hello to Xiang Nanfang, but the other party didn't respond and was quite cold. Wang Gang didn't want to put a hot face on a cold butt.
When he got his toothbrush and towel and queued behind Xiang Nanfang to check out, Xiang Nanfang suddenly said something.
"congratulations."
Wang Gang was stunned for a second or two before he realized that Xiang Nanfang was talking to him.
"Congratulations to you too. I heard that your academic performance has improved dramatically since you were promoted to second grade, and you are now number one in your grade." Wang Gang said with a smile.
Although he dropped out of Jinling Middle School, Wang Gang still keeps in touch with Teacher Duan, and sometimes they talk about interesting things about Jinling Middle School.
Xiang Nanfang was a popular figure in Jinling Middle School, and he was Wang Gang's deskmate in the past. Teacher Duan would sometimes mention him.
Xiang Nanfang finally turned his head, his eyes glowing with unknown meaning.
When Wang Gang saw Xiang Nanfang's eyes, he knew she had misunderstood.
"I didn't ask about you specifically, but sometimes when I get together with Teacher Duan, he will talk about you."
Xiang Nanfang nodded without saying a word, and he didn't know if he believed Wang Gang's words.
"I have some college entrance examination review materials over there. If you want them, I can lend them to you," Xiang Nanfang said.
Wang Gang blinked and wanted to refuse the call, but then he thought about it and let it go.
"OK!"
Xiang Nanfang didn't say another word and was about to leave after buying the bread.
"Wait a minute." Wang Gang stopped Xiang Nanfang, picked up another type of bread from the shelf, and handed it to Xiang Nanfang.
"This tastes better, try it."
Xiang Nanfang took the bread and was about to pay when Wang Gang said, "You lend me the materials to review, and I'll treat you to some bread."
Holding the bread, Xiang Nanfang was stunned for a moment, then put his hand into his pocket again.
"Thank you." Xiang Nanfang said softly.
After saying that, Xiang Nanfang left the canteen without any intention of having a deep conversation with Wang Gang.
Wang had just paid the money and was about to go back to his dormitory when he saw Xiang Nanfang running over in a hurry, holding a stack of books in his hand.
Xiang Nanfang stopped in front of Wang Gang, stuffed the book into his arms, and then turned his back.
"I'm also planning to take the HKUST exam next year."
Xiang Nanfang left a word and left in a hurry.
Wang Gang looked at the book in his arms and the three beautiful little characters on it, and was lost in thought.
