On August 12, Lu Yan arrived in Berlin by plane with the national track and field team.
The number of people is not large. There are 10 men and 23 women in the team members. The total team of 33 people went out in a low-key manner, and most of them were newcomers.
Because of Liu Xiang's absence, domestic and foreign media were not very optimistic.
Although head coach Feng Shuyong admires Lu Yan, most netizens don't buy it.
It is mainly caused by the feeling of "dislocation of identity". After all, most entrepreneurs are conscientious and wish they could work overtime every day.
Lu Yan is so good. After completing his undergraduate degree, he continues to study for a master's degree, founded two start-up companies, and also plays sports. This is completely unprofessional!
Although he is clearly a member of the "rich generation", he gives people the feeling of being a "rich second generation".
While Lu Yan gained a large number of fans, he also gained a lot of negative fans. After all, many people don’t like the feeling of being left behind by their peers!
In terms of foreign media, Agence France-Presse wrote an article saying that the Chinese team is keeping a low profile and it is difficult to find a gold medal in Liu Xiang's absence.
As for the national team, they originally had no hope of matching the one gold, one silver and one bronze they won at the last World Championships in Osaka.
But the appearance of Lu Yan this time gave head coach Feng Shuyong renewed hope.
In the hotel conference room arranged by the organizer, head coach Feng Shuyong first encouraged the team members, and then emphasized discipline. The main content is to follow the command in all actions, not to leave the team without permission, and to report problems in a timely manner.
In the 21st century, as the motherland becomes stronger, most people no longer think that the moon in foreign countries is rounder than in China.
But after all, there have been cases of athletes running away privately, staying abroad, and requesting asylum.
The head coach who was harmed was fired, his teammates were implicated, and the country's image was damaged.
And that person showed no apology from the beginning to the end...
Therefore, the aspect of discipline cannot be overemphasized.
"Children, you have to remember one thing. From the moment we set foot on this land, our words and deeds are not only personal issues, but also represent our motherland.
We came out to bring glory to the motherland, not to embarrass the country. I hope you can remember the oath we made when we set off. In the past few days, we must eat well, sleep well, and perform well on the sports field...!"
After some words of encouragement, the team members went back to their rooms.
However, Lu Yan was stopped by Feng Shuyong and said: "Xiao Lu, please tell me whether your grades can be improved!"
Lu Yan smiled, "I've tried my best!"
Feng Shuyong shook his head slightly, "But according to my observation, you haven't reached your limit at all!"
Lu Yan just smiled and didn't want to argue.
Feng Shuyong said again: "Xiao Lu, you are a smart man. I won't tell you much, but I just want to ask, do you have the gold medal?"
Lu Yan hesitated for half a second and nodded.
Feng Shuyong was overjoyed and patted Lu Yan on the shoulder: "Go and have a good rest these two days. If you need anything, just report it!"
After returning to the room, Lu Yan first called his parents to report that he was safe, and then called Ruan Xiaoxiao, telling her that everything was fine and asking her to just wait for the news.
On the other side of the company, they called Zhou Xiaoqing and Lin Bin respectively to ask about their current situation, and then they rested peacefully and followed the arrangements of the team.
On the 15th, the World Track and Field Championships officially kicked off.
The men's shot put, women's 10,000-meter race and men's 20-kilometer walk will all have gold medals decided on the first day. However, these three are all major track and field events and are relatively unpopular.
The men's 100 meters will have preliminaries on the first day, at 17:40 Beijing time.
The famous sprinters Bolt and Guy are in the ninth and eleventh groups respectively, and Lu Yan is in the twelfth group.
It was his first time participating in an international competition. He felt extremely relaxed and successfully qualified in the group in 9.81 seconds.
Head coach Feng Shuyong was overjoyed, while media and athletes from other countries were a little surprised.
It's incredible that a yellow race person can actually run over nine seconds.
However, what surprised them even more was what came next.
On the 17th, in the men's 100m semi-finals, Lu Yan successfully advanced again.
When it came to the men's 100 finals that day, it was already a matter of suspense as to who among Lu Yan, Bolt and Gay would win the championship.
It was 3:35 a.m. on August 17, Beijing time. CCTV’s fifth set, which was not watched by many people, was live broadcast of the World Athletics Championships, and the ratings suddenly soared.
In Jinling, Ruan Xiaoxiao and Qi Xueli were sitting on the sofa in the living room of a two-bedroom apartment near Yangda University, watching the live broadcast.
The latter was already very sleepy, but he had to endure hardships in order to accompany Ruan Xiaoxiao.
While eating snacks, he said: "Xiaoxiao, you have to give me some of your facial mask later. I stayed up late with you watching the live broadcast for the past two days, and I have wrinkles at the corners of my eyes."
Ruan Xiaoxiao wore a loose pajamas and said carelessly: "No problem, if my old Lu wins the championship, I will ask him to buy you a box and reward you for staying up late with me and cheering him on."
When Qi Xueli heard this, she suddenly smiled and said: "Then I'm relieved, your Lao Lu will definitely win the championship!"
"I think so!"
“I’m quite confident!”
"Don't you know how strong his physical strength is?"
"How good is it?" When Qi Xueli said this, her smile was very strange, "Tell me about it!"
"He goes five kilometers every morning!"
"I'm not interested in hearing about it in the morning. I want to know how much exercise I did in the evening!"
"Get out!"
…
At the same time, Song Jing, who was in the capital, was also sitting on the sofa in the living room and watching TV.
There was a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other. There were peanuts, broad beans and a bowl of soaked noodles on the coffee table.
As Lu Yan's roommate and a founder of Meituan, Song Jing is quite concerned about Lu Yan.
As the saying goes, there are thousands of people in a family, but only one person is in charge.
The success of many people lies in having a good big brother.
Like Liu Bang's fellow villagers from Pei County and Zhu Yuanzhang's Huaixi nobles, they were all low-class people in small places before the uprising, but it was only after they followed the two Ming masters that they were able to be useful.
As for Xiang Yu and Chen Youliang's men, aren't they powerful? They have the same talents, but they end up with the same fate.
As the saying goes, the king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their king.
The founders of start-up companies probably have the same relationship with their bosses. You have to think that you, the boss, are reliable, so that you can leave your family and career to work with you.
Now that Lu Yan has left his two start-up companies behind and went abroad to participate in the World Track and Field Championships, executives within the company have not said so publicly, but secretly many people think that Lu Yan is not doing his job properly.
With such a boss, will the company have a future?
As for the salesperson below, what he said was even worse.
It would be nice if he could come back with a medal, but once he returns to China with nothing to gain, Lu Yan's reputation will definitely plummet.
People's hearts are condensed little by little, and they are scattered little by little. You can't see anything in a short time, but once you encounter any crisis, malicious poaching, acquisition, or tight capital chain, the mines laid will be exposed one by one.
.
Although Song Jing has a good relationship with Lu Yan, she will have to make a decision by then.
Therefore, he is very concerned about this "World Track and Field Championships".
