Winning a medal in the Olympics is a matter of bringing glory to the country. There has long been a consensus among the delegation that athletes who can stand on the Olympic podium cannot be punished at least until the end of the Olympic commendation. Punishing the winners before the Olympics is over is undoubtedly equivalent to killing heroes in front of the two armies. This is a taboo, not only losing face but also losing dignity. Therefore, even if the athlete makes a big mistake, the delegation will find a way to suppress the matter first. As for how to settle the score later, that is another matter.
The value of men's 100-meter dash medals is obviously not comparable to that of other events. Even a bronze medal in the 100-meter dash means far more to the national team than gold medals in strong events, because it represents a historic event. Breakthrough means making the impossible possible, and doing something that others have never done before.
Director Guo naturally knew that if Zhang Guan really won the bronze medal in the men's 100 meters, this punishment decision would be useless, and he would have to take the blame. After all, it was stamped with an official seal. If there was no official seal, it could still be said that it was Misunderstanding, but with an official seal, it is an official document, and someone needs to take responsibility, and the person who takes responsibility must be Director Guo himself.
Suddenly, Director Guo felt that the red seal marks were so dazzling, as frightening as a reminder.
"Did you get the bronze medal?" Director Guo asked cautiously.
"No!" Zhang Guan shook his head happily.
Director Guo breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that he didn't get the medal. Let's see how arrogant you are. But Zhang Guan's next words made Director Guo tremble again.
"You can guess a little bit more." Zhang Guan said.
"Guess? What's on the bronze medal?" Director Guo understood instantly and asked in a trembling voice, "Did you get the silver medal?"
"No, you still have to guess." Zhang Guan's smile became even brighter.
At this moment, Director Guo knew that he was afraid that he was going to die. Naturally, there was a gold medal above the silver medal. Zhang Guan's expression clearly told him that he had won the gold medal.
"Gold medal? How is it a gold medal? How is this possible! How can he have the ability to win a gold medal? I am just dreaming! Yes, it is a dream. There is no way he can win a gold medal!" Director Guo secretly bit his tongue and felt it hurt. , finally confirmed that this was not a dream.
Director Guo's complexion instantly turned sallow. Fortunately, he did not have high blood pressure or other diseases, otherwise he might have fainted.
"Gold medal? You got the gold medal?" Director Guo still wanted to confirm.
"Guess it almost right, guess further." Zhang Guan said.
"The gold medal is up? The gold medal is gone when the gold medal is up! The best thing in the Olympics is the gold medal!" Director Guo was slightly startled. He thought Zhang Guan was playing a trick on him. Thinking of this, Director Guo became excited: "You are playing a trick on me. , you didn’t get a medal at all!”
"The gold medal also has a world record! This will break the record and win the championship. How stupid!" Zhang Guan smiled slyly.
One sentence frightened Director Guo half to death. This feeling of ups and downs was really refreshing for Director Guo.
But the next second, Director Guo regained his energy: "You don't have to use this method to delay time anymore, you still want to break the record and win the championship? I won't believe anything you say. I want to announce the penalty decision now."
"Whether I lied to you or not, you will know if you ask the people around you." Zhang Guan pointed to the reporters around him.
Director Guo looked around. Although no reporter answered his question, judging from the reporter's serious expression, what Zhang Guan said must be true.
Director Guo's heart was in suspense again, and at this moment, the last straw that broke the camel's back appeared.
"I can prove that Zhang Guan won the championship in the men's 100-meter dash final of the Olympic Games that ended not long ago, and broke the men's 100-meter world record, making an unprecedented breakthrough for the country's sports industry!"
A rich voice sounded, and then an old man came from behind the crowd. When the reporters saw this man, they consciously made way for the old man to walk in.
"Hou Ju!"
Public transportation is given priority in Greece, so the bus has to arrive at the Olympic Village first, while Director Hou's special bus was slower. When Director Hou got off the bus, he found a group of people gathered around the bus, so he walked over to see what was going on, and happened to see the scene just now.
Director Hou walked past the crowd and said, "I was at the competition when Zhang Guan competed just now. I'm here to prove it. Do you still have any questions?"
"No... no..." Director Guo almost cried. He knew that Zhang Guan's record-breaking victory in the 100-meter dash would inevitably be portrayed as a hero by the country. Since he is a hero, there must be no stain, so he would inevitably play the villain in the movie who was beaten up by the hero. . Therefore, his political career may end prematurely.
The appearance of Director Hou signaled that Zhang Guan would be protected from above. This did not require any reason, or a world record for the 100-meter dash was the best reason.
Director Hou held the punishment decision in his hand, and then spoke to many reporters: "While our athletes are constantly making new achievements and new breakthroughs, some of our cadres and comrades are still stuck in the old ideas and old ideas. In the concept, especially for a long time, there has been a mentality of admiring foreign things and favoring foreign countries. It is believed that foreign products are better than domestic ones, and that the moon abroad is rounder! This kind of thinking is wrong! After so many years of opening up and development, our country has already We have achieved remarkable results. Our country's achievements in many areas are no worse than those of foreigners, or even better than those of foreigners. Although we cannot be blindly arrogant, we cannot belittle ourselves, and we cannot be biased. Simply I think what foreigners say is right..."
Director Hou glared at Director Guo as he spoke, and then said: "What happened today reflects the loopholes in our management. Individual cadres lack systematic management thinking and their management methods are simple and crude. This is why we need to strengthen it in the future. The place."
"In addition, I would also like to say that Zhang Guan won the Olympic men's 100-meter dash championship and broke the world record. This is an unprecedented breakthrough for our country! This is also the dream of generations of track and field people in our country! For this gold medal, the country The coaches and athletes of the track and field team have put in countless hardships and sweat... "
Due to the arrival of Director Hou, the scene turned into a small press conference. Early the next morning, Director Hou convened a meeting, in which it was decided that Director Guo would retire to the second line in advance, while Director Zhao would be transferred from the original unit and assigned to a grassroots position. At the same time, they also said hello to their friends in the domestic media not to report on what happened that night, not even on Zhang Guan spinach.
…
A small storm ended here, and the forgetful media focused all their attention on Zhang Guan. The Olympic champion and a new world record, this unprecedented breakthrough instantly overshadowed the light of other Olympians.
The men's 100-meter dash championship has always been a field that is difficult for Asians to enter, but it is also a field that attracts the most attention from the world. In the past, there was not much attention paid to track and field events in China, mainly because the strength of the athletes was far behind world-class athletes. But now with the world's top sprinters, the situation has been reversed in an instant. Sprinting, the most primitive sport of mankind, was instantly revitalized. Almost everyone was talking about Zhang Guan's record-breaking victory. The original frustration of losing the men's table tennis gold medal disappeared without a trace in an instant.
…
The pace of life in Greece is very slow. Normal working hours for office workers only start at ten in the morning, and nine o'clock is the time for a normal person to have breakfast.
Accountant Flageskus was sitting at the dining table, and news was being broadcast from the TV not far away.
"In the men's 100-meter dash final that ended yesterday, the Chinese athlete unexpectedly won the championship and broke the world record..."
"Chinese broke the 100-meter dash record?" Flagex turned his head and glanced at the TV, which showed Zhang Guanzai celebrating.
"It's him!" Flageskus exclaimed. A few seconds later, Flageskus realized that the new world champion turned out to be his client!
Flageskus almost jumped up with excitement. The fastest person on the planet is his client. This is a huge free advertisement for his accounting firm. Flageskus can also rely on it. With this in mind, I will act as an agent for more celebrities. By this time, Flageskus had even seen a path to a top accountant.
Thinking of this, Flagesquez put down his breakfast and prepared to go to the Olympics in person to congratulate Zhang Guan.
At this moment, his cell phone rang, and the caller ID was Osedorius, the director of OPAP.
As soon as Flagescus answered the phone, he heard the other party say anxiously: "Flegskes, do you know, the Chinese client I introduced to you a few days ago is a sprinter, and he is in In yesterday’s competition, I won the men’s 100-meter championship and broke the world record!”
"I know, I know, I'm getting ready to go to the Olympic Village to congratulate him," Flageskus said.
"No, dear Flagescus, I'm afraid you have to wait a moment, I need you to come to my place first." Osedorius said.
"Why, my friend, do you have something important to do?" asked Flagex.
"According to regulations, this matter belongs to the client's privacy. I can't tell you. However, he is also your client, and he signed the authorization document with you, so it is not a violation for me to tell you." Osedorius lowered his voice. Then he said: "You know that our world champion is very talented in buying spinach, and according to my records here, he also purchased two spinach before, the same amount was relatively large, and he also purchased other European products through our OPAP. The products of the gambling company. One of them was the purchase of the football project Iraq reached the semi-finals.”
"I'm not surprised by this. He is very optimistic about the Iraqi team, so he will buy Iraq's victory over Portugal. So how much is the bonus?" Flagesquez asked, but he did not tell the other party that Zhang Guancheng had talked about this with him. matter.
"3.4 million euros," Osedolis replied.
"So much, after tax, there are still more than two million euros. So what about the other bet?" Flagex asked.
"He bought himself the Olympic men's 100-meter dash championship, and he bought it before the start of the track and field event. It was the highest odds at the time. After preliminary calculations on my side, the bonus he can get from this bet is ..." Osedorius paused, then said: "13.7 million euros!"
"Oh, God!"
