"Hello, Mr. Wang!"
"Hello, Mr. Wang!"
As soon as this man in a suit in his early fifties appeared in the public office area, everyone greeted him, and he nodded to everyone.
His name is Wang Qinghe, a member of the board of directors of Dingtian Group, and the general manager of Dingtian Real Estate Group Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Dingtian Group. He is also the first person to work hard with the chairman of Dingtian Group, and is highly trusted by the chairman of Dingtian Group.
Wang Qinghe passed by the public office area, got on the elevator, and returned to his general manager's office. The clerks in the public office area started talking one after another.
"Mr. Wang went to see Director Xiao again. You said that Mr. Wang is the boss here. If anything happens, just ask someone to come to his office. Why do you have to come down in person? Director Xiao is so proud. It’s big enough!”
"I think Mr. Wang may have fallen in love with Director Xiao. Director Xiao is so beautiful that even a man would be attracted to her. Mr. Wang probably wants the old cow to eat young grass!"
"It's possible. That Xiao Yunan is only twenty-four or five years old this year. He can be the director of the planning department. He must have some skills. Maybe he has already joined our boss Wang..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Someone approached, stopped their conversation, and then said, "Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, be careful of trouble coming from your mouth!"
"We understand, how dare we talk about Mr. Wang's affairs, let's not talk about it, and we won't talk about it anymore! Brother Hu, don't worry, I will never cause you any trouble."
"Hey, you guys, you really don't let me worry. If you don't work hard all day long, you only know how to gossip, and the gossip is nothing more than gossip. You haven't talked about the key point yet!" Brother Hu let out a long sigh, Then he said: "You guys chat about gossip every day, don't you know who Xiao Yunan is?"
"Brother Hu, if you have any inside information, tell us quickly!" Several people around him immediately came over.
"Think about it, what is this Xiao Yunan's last name?" This "Brother Hu" asked.
"My surname is Xiao!" The person opposite showed a cute expression.
"Brother Hu" suddenly looked furious: "Nonsense, of course I know her surname is Xiao! Couldn't you have imagined that our chairman is also surnamed Xiao!"
"Oh my god, is this Xiao Yunan a relative of our big boss!" Someone immediately exclaimed.
"Brother Hu" nodded: "Xiao Yunan is the chairman's daughter and has just returned from the United States."
"Let me choke you, that's the princess of our Dingtian Group!"
"My dear, you are worth hundreds of billions of dollars! You are actually right in front of me!"
A few people started gossiping without restraint again.
…
At the SWAT team's training ground, Dai Li looked at the row of police officers in front of him.
These are all police officers selected by the police force to participate in the Half Marathon. Although I cannot say that they are all elites in the police force, they are definitely very good at long-distance running. Although their long-distance running ability is not as good as that of professional athletes, it is still at a high level among amateurs.
Dai Li suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Dai Li has always felt that he has bad luck. He always encounters some training subjects with various problems. Yu Feifei who gained weight, Lin Feixiang who gave up on himself, Zhan Wusheng of the shot volleyball team, the remaining long jump team who was poached, Lin Chong who has psychological problems, Yang Sijie who dreams of being a photographer, and Zhao Yue who was misdiagnosed.
Everywhere Li Dai went, he never directly trained in a down-to-earth manner.
Today, Li Dai felt that his fortune had finally turned around. Although the daily training time was not long, the training process went very smoothly without any accidents.
What makes Dai Li feel even more fortunate is that three of the police officers participating in the competition are SWAT soldiers. Even in normal training, running 10,000 meters can only be regarded as a basic daily training event. The half marathon is for them. It's not that difficult.
In addition, there is a police officer with a special forces background. He just changed his career last year and his physical condition is very good. Back then, he often carried dozens of kilograms of weight for cross-country running. Now it is even easier for him to run a half marathon.
Whether they are current special police officers, former special forces, or other police officers, their level is definitely better than that of ordinary enthusiasts. For the first time, Li Dai experienced the feeling of a strong army.
…
It was game day in a blink of an eye.
The half marathon is the fastest growing event in recent years. The length of a half marathon is 21.0975 kilometers, which is equivalent to a little more than two 10,000 meters.
As an event to promote national fitness, the Jinyan Lake Half Marathon has basically no threshold. Many long-distance running enthusiasts have signed up to participate, and the largest number of them are citizens who have never run a Marathon. They signed up to participate. , not aiming for any ranking, just to try whether I can persist in running the whole distance, or just to have fun.
It is very simple to participate in the competition. You need to hold a valid ID, fill out a form, get a number plate, and then go to the starting area. Many people who were originally busy couldn't help but fill out the form to sign up, so today's Jinyan Lakeside can be said to be... There are huge crowds of people,
Compared with those stragglers who sign up for the competition at short notice, the major enterprises and institutions in Huajing City are like regular armies. They have dedicated team leaders, wear uniform clothes, display their own slogans, and have exclusive logistics personnel to provide drinks and other guarantees. Some units even organized cheerleading teams.
None of the enterprises that can gain a foothold in Huajing City is an ordinary person, especially those old state-owned enterprises. Many of them were established in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. From the planned economy to the market economy, they have experienced state-owned enterprise reforms, enterprise restructuring, and employee layoffs. Despite the tide and so on, it will still be able to stand in the end. It has more experience in organizing groups to participate in similar activities than the national team has in participating in the Olympics.
As for those public institutions, they are even more comfortable participating in such activities. After all, Huajing City is the political center of the country. Various activities emerge in endlessly every year. It is as if it is commonplace for public institutions to organize employees to participate in such group activities.
Liu Baogang stood on the side of the road, looking around confidently.
The clothes of many participating teams have the names of their units printed on them, such as a certain newspaper, a certain pharmaceutical company, and a certain bank. Some clothes also have slogans like "Serve the People" printed on them.
However, in Liu Baogang's view, these participating teams may look impressive on the surface, but in fact they are just here to make up the numbers.
Liu Baogang is the marathon coach of the national team. This time he was invited by Dingtian Group to train the participating team members of Dingtian Group. Dingtian Group gave Liu Baogang a very good figure. In order to make extra money, Liu Baogang simply used his annual leave this year and came here full-time to do training work.
It is not unusual for a coach to use his personal time to make extra money. As a coach of the national team, he will have his own way. The national team neither opposes nor encourages this. As long as it doesn't affect normal work.
As the coach of the national team, Liu Baogang must be of high quality, and he is more than enough to train ordinary people. The Dingtian Group also gave Liu Baogang a good hand. The employees of the Dingtian Group participating in the competition were all retired soldiers.
A very large enterprise like Dingtian Group participates in job fairs for retired soldiers every year. For employers, retired soldiers have strong discipline, are easy to manage, can endure hardships and stand hard work, and are much more reliable than ordinary social recruitment. Those who can be selected by Dingtian Group are all outstanding veterans with excellent business abilities.
Dingtian Group is determined to win the team championship of this half marathon, and Liu Baogang did not waste this good card. In just a few weeks, he joined Dingtian Group to train an extraordinary marathon team.
Liu Baogang is very confident in the participating teams of Dingtian Group, but he is still constantly observing other teams in the competition. This is the experience he has accumulated from leading teams for many years.
"Build an education system and promote social development. With this slogan, it should be the team of the Education Bureau! A group of fair and tender guys who look like they work in an office."
"The team over there are quite dark. They must be tanned. It turns out they are from Huajing Newspaper. As reporters, they go out for interviews every day, so it is normal for them to be tanned."
"This is a team from Tsinghua University. There are quite a lot of people. Some of them look like athletes, but most of them are ordinary teachers and students. Speaking of this half marathon, college students participated quite enthusiastically. Not only Tsinghua University and several other universities also have dedicated teams."
"Hey, the Sports Bureau has also sent a team, and Director Qian is leading the team! Lao Li is here too, and Xiao Wang..." Liu Baogang shook his head silently. He saw many familiar faces in the Sports Bureau team. , even former professional athletes.
"Xiao Wang was the national 10,000-meter long-distance running champion back then! But that was already ten years ago. It has been five or six years since he retired. A young man who was so strong back then has now grown a beer belly."
Liu Baogang knows that athletes need to train every day to maintain their condition. For top athletes, even if they train every day, their physical condition will continue to decline as they age. An athlete who has retired for five or six years is probably not even 30% of the level he was at his peak.
"From what I've observed so far, the only ones with real strength are our Dingtian Group's participating teams. It seems that the team champion must be us." Liu Baogang thought silently.
"Coach Liu, how are you? Have you seen a strong opponent?" A sweet female voice sounded.
When Coach Liu heard this voice, he knew it was Xiao Yunan. Her voice was so recognizable.
"Director Xiao is here!" Liu Baogang smiled as brightly as a flower. Even at his age, he would still be very attentive when seeing young and beautiful beauties.
"Director Xiao, I observed other participating teams and found no strong opponents. I think our Dingtian Group will be the champion this time." As Liu Baogang spoke, the team wearing blue sportswear in the distance happened to be reflected. caught his eye.
"Hey, is this a professional team? I see the temperament of professional players in them." Liu Baogang immediately made a judgment in his mind.
This is the instinct of a top coach.
Liu Baogang had seen too many participating teams before, but in this team wearing blue sportswear, Liu Baogang saw a different temperament. It was the temperament of professional long-distance runners. Before that, Liu Baogang can only see this temperament in the teams he trains.
"It's a powerful enemy!" Liu Baogang's heart thumped, as if he had been hit hard by something heavy.
"There are no professional-level athletes participating in a team at this level of competition. These people should be quasi-professional. Marathon, who are they?"
Liu Baogang looked carefully and finally saw clearly the team's competition slogan.
"Be loyal to the people, unite and forge ahead to ensure peace." Liu Baogang recited this slogan of more than ten words.
"Not many units can use these sentences as slogans. It's the police, it should be the police! Only the police would use such slogans." Zhao Baogang's guess was very accurate.
Liu Baogang took a breath when he arrived. He knew that the team composed of police officers was definitely not inferior to the team from Dingtian Group in terms of personal qualities. Dingtian Group can recruit more than a dozen outstanding veterans, and the police force can do the same, and can even find even better talents.
"They should also have professional sports coaches there. Otherwise, it is impossible to have the temperament of a professional player." Liu Baogang was thinking about it, and the next second he saw the figure of Dai Li, who also appeared in the police competition. among the team.
"Xiao Li!" Liu Baogang couldn't help but exhale.
"Coach Liu saw an acquaintance? Could it be Coach Liu's colleague?" Xiao Yunan said while following Liu Baogang's eyes.
"It's a colleague." Liu Baogang nodded: "The team in blue clothes over there should be the police team's competition team."
"Who is your colleague?" Xiao Yunan asked immediately.
"The seventh young man from the left." Liu Baogang answered.
Xiao Yunan also found Li Dai. Although he was far away and couldn't see Li Dai's specific appearance, Xiao Yunan could feel that the other person was not too old and was about the same age as himself.
"Coach Liu, your colleague is quite young. I think his training level and training experience are definitely not as good as yours, Coach Liu, right?" Xiao Yunan asked tentatively.
"Of course!" Liu Baogang naturally couldn't give in, but he felt that he couldn't be too full of words. After all, soldiers and water are unpredictable. As long as it is a sports competition, there will be uncertainty.
Liu Baogang changed his voice and continued: "To be precise, this Li Dai cannot be regarded as my colleague. He is not yet a member of the national team. His current status is seconded to the national team from the Hanbei Provincial Team. He is also Coach Xue Li’s protégé is very proficient in sprint training.”
"So he's not a marathon coach!" Xiao Yunan said casually.
"However, he is the youngest championship coach in the national team. In the Asian Games a few days ago, our national team was able to win the gold medal in the relay race, all because of Li Dai." Liu Baogang detailed the situation of the Asian Games relay race at that time. I told Xiao Yunan.
Xiao Yunan turned her beautiful eyes and looked at Dai Li in the distance as if she was very interested. At the same time, she said, "Coach Li is a sprint coach. He shouldn't be very good at marathon training, right?"
"Of course!" Liu Baogang paused for a moment, then added: "Maybe he's not good at it!"
Xiao Yunan heard the lack of confidence in Liu Baogang's words. She did not expect that Zhao Baogang, a senior national team coach, would show lack of confidence when facing a Li Dai. Xiao Yunan couldn't help but glance at Dai Li in the distance again.
Liu Baogang also felt that he had said the wrong thing. It was not good to be so unconfident when facing a big benefactor.
So Liu Baogang immediately said: "Don't worry, Director Xiao, I believe in the strength of the team members. Moreover, the team competition is based on the results of the top five athletes. I can also arrange tactics and sacrifice two or three athletes to run with them to disrupt their rhythm. ! As long as their rhythm is messed up, we will definitely win!"
