Director Qu looked at the clock on the wall and found that it was almost time, so he was about to get up and go to the conference room.
He convened this meeting today, and the main topic discussed at the meeting was to kick Zhang Guan out of the national team.
Just when Director Qu was about to come to the office, the phone on the table rang. Director Qu raised his head and saw that it was the president calling. Director Qu immediately picked up the receiver.
"Yes, President, it's me!" Director Qu replied.
On the other side of the phone, the president said: "Have you read the news yesterday? Regarding Zhang Guan, he won the Australian Open. You should know this!"
"I've been watching the news too." Director Qu snorted coldly, and then said: "This Zhang Guan is really unorganized and undisciplined. He is a track and field athlete. Instead of participating in track and field training, he plays tennis instead! I am getting ready for a meeting. Let’s discuss whether we should kick out athletes who disobey management from our national team!”
"What? Kick Zhang Guan out of the national team?" The next second, the president said firmly: "No! Absolutely not! The association will never approve it."
"President, I know that Zhang Guan is very famous and has a certain degree of public influence, but the impact of continuing to keep him in the team is really bad. Previously, he disobeyed the center's management and went abroad privately without participating in training. He has violated discipline and set a bad example in the team. Now he has won a tennis championship. If other athletes in the team follow his example, they will not do their job properly and participate in other sports. , then this track and field team cannot be led! And not only in our track and field events, if athletes in other events also learn from Zhang Guan, those who play table tennis will play badminton, those who play badminton will play football, and those who play football will play Basketball, then our entire sports industry will be in chaos!" Director Qu said plausibly.
"Zhang Guan is just an example. He has certain special characteristics! Can every athlete have Zhang Guan's ability?" the president said.
"That's not necessarily true! We have such a large population in our country, and if there is one Zhang Guan, there might be a second one!" Director Qu argued.
The president was a little unhappy with Director Qu's "arrogance". He said slightly dissatisfied: "Besides, Zhang Guan has to hand over tens of millions of development funds to the association every year. If you expel him from the national team, then this will Who should bear the losses of tens of millions?"
"Well..." Director Qu immediately hesitated.
The association's annual funding is also quite limited. With an additional tens of millions of development funds a year, the entire association can live comfortably from top to bottom, including organizing competitions, buying training equipment, conducting training camps, improving athletes' meals, etc. No need to worry about money anymore. If Zhang Guan is kicked out of the national team, Zhang Guan will not have to perform his duties as a national team player, nor will he have to hand over his share of advertising endorsement fees. Losing such a large amount of income is tantamount to offending the entire association. If Director Qu does something that offends the public, he may not be able to secure his position.
"Why did you forget about the development fund?" Director Qu put down the phone with a gloomy expression on his face. If he didn't cause Zhang Guan some trouble, Director Qu really felt unwilling to do so. But Zhang Guan will no longer play with your network management center. He went to play tennis by himself. Director Qu just wanted to cause trouble for Zhang Guan, but there was nothing he could do.
After a while, Director Qu gritted his teeth, finally picked up the phone, dialed a number, and said somewhat depressedly: "Notice that today's meeting is cancelled."
On the other side, the president also had a gloomy look on his face after hanging up the phone.
"He actually wants to expel Zhang Guan from the national team! Does this old man really think that he alone has the final say in the field management center? Does he still take the association seriously? There are some people here, once they have something in their hands If you have power, you don’t know what your last name is!” The president took a deep breath and murmured to himself: “Maybe he is really not suitable for this position.”

Tennis Management Center.
Director Liu walked into the reception room. He Yiming had been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. He! Long time no see!" Director Liu immediately stepped forward to say hello, and then both parties sat down.
"Director Liu, I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything!" He Yiming reached into his arms, took out a thin piece of paper and handed it to Director Liu.
Director Liu took it and saw clearly that it was a check. When he counted it carefully, it turned out to be a seven-digit number.
Director Liu's face instantly darkened, and there was even more anger in his eyes. Then he asked somewhat seriously: "Mr. He, what do you mean?"
He Yiming's expression did not change. He said, "Director Liu, your tennis center wants to issue me a receipt!"
"Receipt?" Director Liu didn't understand for a while.
Just listen to He Yiming explain: "Zhang Guan won the Australian Open this time and received a large bonus. According to the rules, 30% of the Tennis Development Fund and 10% of the National Sports Security Fund are included! The bonus is in Australian dollars, but it has been converted into national currency based on the exchange rate on the previous trading day.”
"Ah?" Director Liu then realized that he had misunderstood He Yiming's meaning. He thought for a few seconds before he realized what he meant. Then he looked at the number on the check and didn't know what to say.
"What day is it today? Someone sent me money as soon as I got to work! With such a large amount of money, I don't have to worry about the competition funds for this year's athletes!" Director Liu's face was suddenly filled with smiles.
"Mr. He, you are so polite! It's really embarrassing to say that Zhang Guan is bringing glory to Australia, but our tennis center has done nothing. Now he has to take money. I feel really sorry!" Liu Although the director said this, he held the check tightly with both hands, as if he was afraid that the check would grow wings and fly away.
"What did Director Liu say?" He Yiming continued: "Funds of various domestic sports associations are very tight. As an athlete, Zhang Guan must of course contribute to the country. Of course, the prize money for this competition must be handed over. Hand in. Just..."
He Yiming suddenly stopped talking, and Director Liu also realized that He Yiming must be telling lies, so he asked cooperatively: "Just what?"
"It's just the advertising fee for this crown, which may not be paid to the tennis center for a while. I have to apologize to you!" He Yiming said.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Zhang Guan is willing to hand over part of the competition bonus as a sports development fund. I am already very satisfied!" When Director Liu said this, he found He Yiming looking at him with a smile. Director Liu then realized that he You may have misunderstood. He Yiming was not expressing "apology" at all, but was waiting for himself to ask "why" again.
"Why?" Director Liu immediately asked wisely.
"In addition to being a professional tennis player, Zhang Guan is also a track and field athlete. In the past, all bonuses and advertising endorsement fees were paid to the Athletics Association. Now there is an additional tennis, so the definition may be a bit troublesome." He Yiming picked up the tea cup in his hand, drank half a sip, and then said: "The competition bonuses are okay. The bonuses earned in tennis competitions will be given to tennis, and the bonuses earned in track and field competitions will be given to track and field. But as for the advertising endorsement fees, you Do you think you earned it from tennis or from track and field?"
