In the stands, Fang Dalu looked at Fang Haiquan who was celebrating, feeling extremely conflicted in his heart.
As a father, Fang Dalu can feel that his son is very happy now. The smile on his face and his body language are all from the heart. This is not only a celebration of victory, but also shows his love for long jump.
"Haiquan really likes long jump!" Fang Dalu sighed. For the first time, he began to doubt whether the decision to send Fang Haiquan to study in England was correct.
"Do we really want to take the long jump as a career?" Fang Dalu shook his head silently, but Fang Haiquan's performance today clearly told Fang Dalu that he was ready to take the long jump as his future career.
Fang Dalu felt extremely contradictory. As a father, he hoped that his son could grow up happily. However, his father's sense of responsibility always told him that he must let Fang Haiquan move forward with the life plan he had set.
"I'm going to have a serious talk with Haiquan." Fang Dalu made a decision.
…
This is the third time Dai Li has met Fang Dalu. Unlike the previous two times, Fang Dalu today looks more like a father than the all-powerful chairman of Continental Group.
When Fang Haiquan saw his father, he was silent for a few seconds, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "Dad, I won!"
"I saw it." Fang Dalu still maintained his father's majesty. His face did not show any joy, but the sense of accomplishment shining in his eyes betrayed his heart.
"Dad, I want to continue practicing long jump!" Fang Haiquan said louder this time.
Fang Dalu didn't respond. He just stared at his son, as if he was thinking or putting pressure on him.
The atmosphere became a little depressing again. Fang Haiquan wanted to speak several times, but stopped himself.
At this time, Li Dai said: "Mr. Fang, I know that a provincial Youth Games champion is nothing to you, and even a national champion is not in your eyes. But for Haiquan, this The Youth Games championship is an affirmation of his ability and the reward for his training. You may not know that Fang Haiquan's last jump broke the U18 long jump record in our province and also broke the national U16 long jump record. record.”
"Oh?" Fang Dalu finally had a surprised expression on his face, and there was a hint of pride in this surprise. Fang Dalu didn't know much about the long jump. He only knew that Fang Haiquan had won the championship, but he didn't expect that he also broke two records.
Just listen to Li Dai continue to say: "Mr. Fang, athletes eat the food of youth, and peak youth only lasts a few years. Fang Haiquan is now 16 years old. Maybe he can only jump to 26 years old, and his body will start to decline. 30 He will probably quit being an athlete when he is young. For him, he only has ten years to realize his dream. Can't you give him these ten years of freedom to realize his dream? I know you I want to train Fang Haiquan to take over your class, but with your current situation, let alone ten years, even if you work for another twenty years, it will be no problem!"
Fang Dalu is not yet fifty years old this year, and he will not be seventy years old in twenty years. For entrepreneurs worth tens of billions, it is normal to work until the age of seventy before retiring.
Fang Dalu didn't speak. He seemed to acquiesce to this, and seemed to be considering whether to give Fang Haiyang ten years.
After a few seconds, Fang Dalu finally said: "I will consider what you said, but I only have such a son. Sooner or later, Continental Group will teach him. Continental Group is not only a company, but also a company." A responsibility, he should learn to shoulder this responsibility as early as possible."
"Mr. Fang, actually I have a bold idea." Li Dai thought for a while and said: "I think you can consider training Fang Haiquan to become the spokesperson of your Continental Group. If Fang Haiquan can become the top long jump athlete in the country , being able to step onto the world stage, he will be a qualified image spokesperson, and he can contribute to Continental in his own way."
Fang Dalu was slightly moved. Fang Dalu had never thought of Li Dai's method. In other words, he only wanted to send Fang Haiquan to study in England and had never thought of other possibilities.
It is not easy to be on the world stage. In track and field, many foreign black athletes can only stay in their own countries. For yellow people, the road to the international arena is even more bumpy and difficult. Those who can succeed Not one in a million. Fang Dalu didn't expect this before.
Now Fang Dalu knows that Fang Haiquan has broken the U16 long jump national record, which means that among his peers in China, Fang Haiquan is the strongest, so breaking out of Asia and going to the world has become something that can be expected. matter.
At this time, Fang Dalu finally felt a little moved.
"I sent Haiquan to the UK just because I wanted to train him to be a qualified successor. If he can enter the group as an image spokesperson and slowly understand the structure and operation of the entire group, maybe he can Think of it as a road to 'save the country through curves'." Fang Dalu thought silently in his heart.
In fact, even Fang Dalu didn't realize it himself. He was just looking for an excuse for his compromise. In fact, when he felt that Fang Haiquan really loved long jump, he had already planned to let Fang Haiquan continue jumping. That was not a rational decision, but It is a father's doting on his children, and it is the result of emotional fermentation.
But Li Dai's proposal gave Fang Dalu a reason to convince himself, allowing him to give his decision a "reasonable" appearance.
…
At the same time, in another venue, the finals of the shot put were also underway.
Among the three players sent by the provincial youth team, only Chen Jianjiang and Wang Bin entered the finals. Qin Lei stopped qualifying due to poor performance on the spot. In fact, Chen Jianjiang and Wang Bin did not qualify. They performed at their normal level during the game.
This is the only way for young athletes. None of them have participated in a formal competition. When they enter the Youth Games, they will inevitably be timid and hesitant, which will inevitably affect their performance.
In the finals, Su Jianjiang and Wang Bin still failed to achieve the expected results. Although they both entered the top eight and had six trial casting opportunities, they never cast more than 18 meters results.
At this Youth Games, a five-kilogram shot put was used instead of the standard 16-pound shot put. If you cannot throw the five kilogram shot put over 18 meters, you are destined to miss out on the medal.
"Whoosh!" Chen Jianjiang completed his last trial throw, and the shot put just hit the 18-meter mark. This result gave him a fourth place.
"Only 18 meters! And it's still an embarrassing fourth place, only one step away from the medal podium!" shot put team coach Zhuang Xuexue looked embarrassed.
"Even in the 16-pound standard shot put, didn't Chen Jiankang throw a score of 17.11 meters? Even the national third place in the youth competition was defeated by him. Why is today's score so bad!" Zhuang Xuexue's face It is full of shock, confusion and unwillingness.
According to Zhuang Xuexue, Chen Jiankang has a great chance of winning the championship. Even if he performs abnormally, he can still get a runner-up. As for Wang Bin, he also has a chance to win a medal. Before the game, Zhuang Xuexue had already begun to dream of the dream of the two of them being on the podium at the same time!
However, the reality hit him mercilessly. Even the strongest Chen Jianjiang only got fourth place and missed the podium.
Zhuang Xuexue snatched the shot put team from Li Dai in order to improve his performance in the Youth Games as a stepping stone for his promotion, but in the end he didn't even get a medal. Although being a runner-up in the Youth Games can still allow Zhuang Xuexue to be promoted, after all, he is married to an uncle who is the deputy director, but if being a runner-up in the Youth Games serves as a stepping stone for promotion, he is destined to only climb up a little bit.
"How could this happen? This is completely different from what I planned!" Zhuang Xuexue murmured to himself. This was obviously not the result he wanted.
The script seems a little off track
