"Make way, everyone, make way!" Director Guo shouted, but none of the reporters surrounding him moved away from his position. The reporters who interview celebrities have all practiced the art of squeezing people and blocking their seats. Director Guo's body obviously cannot squeeze into the crowd.
"Everyone, please make room for the leader." Director Zhao said.
When the word "leader" was mentioned, the reporters looked back one after another and found that the person speaking was a man wearing a name tag. The name tag hanging around his neck was the delegation's official work permit, so the reporters reluctantly stepped aside. A passage for Director Guo to enter.
Director Guo went to the middle of the crowd, and the flashing lights around him made him feel very satisfied. For a person who would be relegated to the second line in more than a year, he cherished this moment in the spotlight very much. Then he understood Throat, walked up to Zhang Guan.
"It's Director Guo!" Director Yu greeted him with a smile. Although the two knew each other, they had little business overlap, and Director Yu only met Director Guo a few times.
Director Guo just nodded to the guidance, and then took out a piece of paper from the document bag. Although the text could not be seen clearly in the dark night, the red official seal on it could still be vaguely seen.
"Is this a reward? Why so fast? When did these officials become so efficient?" Director Yu looked at Director Ma, and Director Ma shook his head in confusion, saying that he did not know about this. .
The reporters present also thought it was a written commendation given by the delegation, so they all raised their equipment and pointed it at Director Yu, preparing to report it as exclusive news.
Director Ma was very satisfied with the other party's confused expression, and even more satisfied with the focus of the media reporters. He coughed dryly and said: "Now I will read out the document, "Decision on the Punishment of Comrade Zhang Guan for Violating Discipline"!"
"Wow..."
The crowd was in an uproar!
A satisfied smile appeared on Director Guo's face again. He secretly thought that these few hours of waiting had indeed been in vain. What he wanted was this shocking effect.
"What does the delegation mean? They want to punish Zhang Guan?"
"Isn't it a commendation? Why is it a punishment?"
"Is this going to kill the donkey?"
"The flying birds are all good, but the cunning rabbits are dead and the running dogs are cooking!"
"Based on Zhang Guan's achievements, even if he violates the discipline slightly, he will not read out the punishment in public! The leader is having a headache!"
"A lot of money can't buy a fool! Today is not in vain, it's really big news!"
The lively discussion among the reporters instantly made Director Guo's smile become more sincere. However, when he listened carefully to the reporters' discussion, he found that there was something wrong with the words. There was something about "killing the donkey by removing the grinding mill" or "flying birds use their good bows, but cunning rabbits hide them". "Dead lackey cook" doesn't seem to be speaking from his own perspective.
"Quiet, be quiet!" Director Zhao said from the side, and the reporter immediately fell silent.
"Director Guo, is there any misunderstanding here?" Director Ma immediately stood up and asked.
"Misunderstanding?" Director Guo sneered, showed the front of the document, and continued: "This is stamped, how can there be any misunderstanding?"
Director Ma and others took a closer look and saw that it was indeed covered with a red official seal.
"What on earth is going on?" Director Ma looked at Director Guo, then looked back at Zhang Guan, confused.
Zhang Guan is also thinking about the origin of this penalty decision.
"I have already won the Olympic champion, and I also broke the 100-meter world record. Normally, I should be praised to the sky now. How can I be given a penalty decision? And even if it is a real penalty, it cannot be in front of so many people. Someone read it out! Unless they don’t know that I won the Olympic title.”
Thinking of this, Zhang Guan simply made a preemptive strike, then stood up and said, "I want to explain this matter."
All eyes were focused on Zhang Guan again, and Zhang Guan said calmly: "A few days ago, I took advantage of the opportunity to get familiar with the competition venue and went to a betting station in Athens to buy a lottery ticket. We also have sports lottery for betting on competitions in our country, I think you must be familiar with it.”
"But later, Director Guo and Director Zhao suddenly came to my room and said that my behavior of buying lottery tickets was a block and a violation of discipline. Of course, I argued with reason. At that time, Director Guo insisted that I This behavior violates the discipline of the delegation, and I am asked to wait for the punishment. I think the punishment will come now!"
After Zhang Guan finished speaking, he looked at Director Guo with a smile on his face, as if telling Director Guo that it was your turn to explain.
"Is buying lottery tickets considered a violation of discipline? This is too ridiculous!"
"If buying sports betting was considered gambling, I would have been caught several times."
"As you can see, even the chief official of the sports lottery thinks that sports betting is actually a kind of gambling, so everyone should not buy it!"
Director Guo is also an old man. At this moment, he realized that the situation was not good for him, and immediately retorted: "What player Zhang Guan said is not completely true. We decided to punish him not because he bought lottery tickets, but because his behavior gave rise to The national team has had an extremely negative impact!"
The reporters immediately focused their attention on Director Guo, and Director Guo continued: "We must have a basis for punishing athletes. Although player Zhang Guan's behavior of buying lottery tickets did not violate discipline, he bought his He won the Olympic championship, and this matter was reported as a laughing stock by the European media. This kind of arrogant and irresponsible behavior has greatly damaged the image of the country!"
"Considering that it is inevitable for young athletes to make mistakes, I personally went to talk to Zhang Guan, hoping that he could realize his mistakes, conduct a deep self-examination, and be strict with himself in the future, and don't say anything that shouldn't be said. Don't do what you shouldn't do, and don't cause this kind of trouble to the national team again. But Zhang Guan not only failed to realize his mistake, but also claimed to be able to win the Olympic championship! This is obviously a complete failure to realize his mistake and lack of awareness. He realizes how much negative impact his arrogance and arrogance have had on the country! So our punishment is not for his buying lottery tickets, but for his failure to repent after making a mistake!"
Director Guo spoke righteously, but found that everyone around him was looking at him with a strange look.
"What's wrong? Why do you look at me like this? Did I say something wrong just now?" Director Guo carefully recalled what he said just now and found that there were no loopholes.
"Why can't I win the Olympics?" Zhang Guan asked loudly: "It's enough for foreigners to look down on us. Do we have to look down on ourselves too?"
Zhang Guan's words instantly resonated with everyone. If Zhang Guan had said this a few hours ago, not many people might have agreed with it, but now that Zhang Guan is an Olympic champion and has broken the men's 100-meter world record, he is considered a miracle worker. If he says this again, The words made people's emotions become more and more angry.
"I'm not looking down on you, I'm judging things based on facts! If you don't have the strength, you can just brag in private, but this bragging has been published in foreign newspapers, and you will be responsible for the negative impact this has caused." Guo The director spoke immediately.
"Discussing things based on facts? Okay, then let's discuss things based on facts!" Zhang Guan took a step forward and continued: "The reason why you punish me is nothing more than the large-scale reports of foreign media, which think that it is impossible for me to win the championship. Am I arrogant?"
"This is a fact." Director Guo replied concisely.
"What if what the foreign newspapers said is wrong? They know that I have been in good form recently and want to use this method to interfere with my game state. So are you going to punish me as a victim?" Zhang Guan then asked.
"I won't comment on whether foreign newspapers are playing tricks. I only look at the results. This incident has indeed had a very negative impact on the national team." Director Guo said softly.
"Okay, let's talk about the results! Let's talk about the results of today's competition." Zhang Guan paused, then asked: "Director Guo, the competition I participated in has ended today, guess what I ran What’s the rank?”
Director Guo was slightly stunned. He knew that there were men's 100-meter semi-finals and finals today. Zhang Guan asked himself to guess the ranking. Plus he came back so late, there was a high probability that he would enter the finals.
"I didn't expect that this kid still has some strength and can enter the Olympic finals. This is an unprecedented breakthrough! No wonder he behaves so confidently. He seems to be only eighteen years old. If it is four years later, he might be able to get a good result. His name." Director Guo suddenly felt a trace of regret in his heart, feeling that he should not have a bad relationship with such a rising star.
But then Director Guo changed his mind and thought that he would be relegated to the second line in more than a year. By then, he would not have any work intersection with Zhang Guan. If he offended him now, he would be offended. After all, he was an official of the ministry and commission, and he would not be involved in any work. It is necessary to be afraid of an athlete.
"He asked me to guess where he finished. He must have gotten a good ranking. There were eight athletes in total. I guess he wouldn't let me guess if he finished eighth. There's nothing worth showing off about seventh. Did he finish fifth or sixth?" Director Guo frowned. He knew that with the track and field standard of the national team, if he could finish fifth or sixth in the Olympic finals, it would definitely be regarded as an important highlight. To carry out publicity reports, and it will not be easy to implement this penalty decision at that time.
"No, today's penalty decision must be implemented. As long as it is implemented, it will not be taken back. Even if he finishes fifth, he will have to admit the penalty." Director Guo was more cautious. He did not answer directly, but said : "Where you finish has nothing to do with your punishment. I don't even guess where you finish."
"That's not necessarily the case. If I finish in the top three and win a medal, will you continue studying? Can you afford this responsibility?" Zhang Guan pointed to the document in Director Guo's hand.
Director Guo's heart tightened: "Did he get a medal?"

The first chapter was delivered today. Please vote for recommendation. If you have time, please go to the Sanjiang area to vote for Zhang Sanjiang.
The character of Director Guo is based on a class teacher I had when I was in high school. I remember that year when there was a tsunami in Southeast Asia, the school organized donations. Maybe the class teacher would be proud of the class teacher if he donated too much. I didn't donate at that time because I disliked a certain country in Southeast Asia very much. Then the head teacher called me out in a stern tone, saying that I had poor moral standards and could be fired based on this. Of course, I still didn't donate in the end. I have always disliked this kind of person who is always on the line. So this villain is my little willful one!
