In the conference room, Director Zhao, who was in charge of personnel work, looked at Dai Li with a smile on his face.
"Xiao Li, are you still at the associate level now? Do you plan to be promoted to a full department?" Director Zhao said with a smile on his face.
Dai Li suddenly looked surprised. He thought that he would not get any good results when he was called over, but he did not expect that the other party would ask him if he wanted to be promoted.
Director Zhao's smile grew brighter, and he continued: "Now, there is a good opportunity in front of you. The organization values your work performance and trusts your ability, and plans to transfer you to the Tai Chi World Heritage Committee as deputy Chairman, this deputy chairman enjoys county-level treatment!"
"Tai Chi World Heritage Committee?" Li Dai looked confused again. He had never heard of this place at all.
Director Zhao on the opposite side nodded seriously: "Yes, it is the Tai Chi World Heritage Application Committee. You may not know much about this unit. Let me give you a brief introduction. The main job of this unit is to be responsible for Tai Chi's application for world intangible cultural heritage. Heritage. You should know about this intangible cultural heritage, right?"
Dai Li nodded ignorantly. He was still digesting what Director Zhao said.
Director Zhao began to introduce eloquently: "Tai Chi is the quintessence of our traditional martial arts. It has many schools and a broad mass base. It is also spread to more than 150 countries and regions around the world. At present, Tai Chi has already It will be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists, and applying for world intangible cultural heritage for Tai Chi will be the focus of the next step."
"Director Zhao, I am a sports coach and I know nothing about martial arts!" Li Dai said.
"Martial arts is also a part of sports!" Director Zhao smiled and continued: "Tai Chi is an important cultural business card for us. Tai Chi's application for World Heritage is also very important, and the road to the application is also very bumpy. , although our country is the birthplace of Tai Chi, countries such as South Korea are 'rushing to register' Tai Chi! In addition, in the past few years, Korean wrestling, Indian yoga and other projects have been included in the " In the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, our Tai Chi application has lagged far behind others!"
Director Zhao talked eloquently again. The content of the conversation should be high-level and deep-depth. The importance of Tai Chi's application for World Heritage was as important as the creation of atomic bombs.
Dai Li thought about it for a while and said, "Director Zhao, can you give me some time to think about it first?"
"What else are you thinking about! This matter has been decided by the organization, and for you personally, this is also an opportunity to be promoted to a full-level academic level! Xiao Li, the organization has sent you to the Tai Chi World Heritage Committee, and it is also After careful consideration, when you get there, work hard!" Director Zhao said this, obviously the matter has been finalized.
At this moment, Li Dai already understood that the so-called deputy director of the Tai Chi World Heritage Committee and enjoying the treatment of a major was actually a means of promotion and promotion.
What Gu Zhizhong encountered was also a rise and fall. He was promoted to the vice chairman of the Table Tennis Association. Although he was an idle job, he was still in the table tennis system. And Li Dai's ups and downs are basically considered to have left competitive sports.
The deputy chairman of the Tai Chi World Heritage Committee may sound nice, but in fact he is just a useless job.
Applying for World Heritage status, especially intangible cultural heritage, is similar to winning the Nobel Prize. Even if a scientist develops Nobel Prize-level results, it still requires the right time, place, people, and a few factors to really win the prize. It takes years, ten years, or even twenty or thirty years of waiting before you have a chance to win the Nobel Prize. The same is true for applying for World Heritage. It takes time to accumulate the right time, place and people.
Therefore, the deputy chairman of the Tai Chi World Heritage Committee is simply a cage for Li Dai, and it is a cage that will trap him for the rest of his life! If Tai Chi fails to apply for world intangible cultural heritage in 20 or 30 years, will Dai Li be the deputy chairman for 20 or 30 years? Become a department-level cadre for the rest of your life and then retire safely
When Dai Li thought of this possibility, a chill arose in his heart, and there was even more sadness. He was only in his twenties, and he was about to start a career, but what was in front of him was a way to retire.
But Dai Li didn't have any place to reason with him yet. They were promoting him from deputy to senior, and it was for his own good to spread the news.
At this moment, Dai Li once again had the idea of resigning. He wanted to leave the system.
Back then, when Dai Li's place was taken away by Zhuang Xuexue, he had this idea. Later, his place to study abroad was replaced by someone else, and Dai Li wanted to resign again.
However, at that time, Dai Li just thought about it, he did not have the courage!
Working in a public institution, the stability of ensuring harvests despite droughts and floods is something that young people cannot give up.
Now, Dai Li has grown a lot, and he has to make plans for his future.
The moment he walked out of the Table Tennis Association, Dai Li couldn't help but think of Gu Zhizhong.
Li Dai remembered that when he first joined the National Table Tennis Team, Gu Zhizhong looked cheerful when he introduced the National Table Tennis Team’s national system.
Dai Li even remembered that when he went abroad with the team for the first time, in Sweden, Gu Zhizhong pointed to the Chinese sponsors with an extremely proud expression.
Li Dai knew that Gu Zhizhong really loved national table tennis, but now Gu Zhizhong...
Dai Li suddenly felt courage in his heart. Although he had not yet planned his future, he knew that he should take that step.
Get out of this system!
…
After submitting his resignation application, Dai Li suddenly felt relaxed.
"I'm free again!" Dai Li smiled self-deprecatingly. He could foresee that he had chosen a difficult path.
In China, coaches, especially high-level coaches, have almost no place to display their abilities if they are not attached to the system. Because almost all good athletes are in the system. If they want to achieve something, they must rely on the system.
"I have saved some money over the years. Maybe I can go back to my hometown in Yuzhou and open a gym or something. With my reputation as the coach of the national team, I should have no problem with food and clothing!"
Dai Li has indeed saved some money in the past few years of working. He usually lives in the dormitory and eats in the canteen of the unit, so he spends relatively little on food and clothing. He didn't buy any big-ticket items, let alone a car or a house, and he didn't even talk about a girlfriend. As a single man, he was able to save a lot of money every month after receiving his salary.
Moreover, the treatment of national table tennis is relatively good. After all, the sponsors are strong. After the athletes win the championship, the coach will also pay bonuses. Especially in the recent Olympic Games, during the post-game commendation, Li Dai also received hundreds of thousands.
Dai Li estimated that with the money he had saved, he could open a gym in a third-tier city like Yuzhou. Of course, you can't afford to open a high-end gym with a swimming pool, sauna and massage, but Dai Li can still handle a small gym of average size.
"If it really doesn't work out, I can go back to my old job and run training courses. I should be able to earn two to three hundred thousand a year." Dai Li thought of another way out for himself.
Now Dai Li is no longer the unknown college graduate he was back then. With his experience in the national team, he is definitely the No. 1 sports coach in the entire Yuzhou City. If he goes back to open training courses, even if he charges two or three times, he can easily attract students.
…
Dai Li packed his luggage, left the capital, and returned to his hometown in Yuzhou.
Before leaving, Li Dai went to say goodbye to Gu Zhizhong and Xue Li. Both of them also knew about the Tai Chi World Heritage Committee, so they did not retain Li Dai.
In fact, if Li Dai is willing, he can return to the track and field team. The national table tennis fitness coach is still very valuable, and because of Xue Li's backer, Li Dai can start from scratch with the track and field team.
If Li Dai wants to return to the provincial team, there is no problem. No provincial training team will reject a national team coach. As long as Li Dai is willing to join, the official establishment can be solved in minutes. There will even be a training team willing to give Li Dai a job. An additional settlement fee.
But after so many things, Li Dai no longer seemed to be staying in the system.
The happiest thing about Dai Li resigning and returning home is Dai Li's parents. Both of them are approaching retirement age, so they naturally hope that their son can stay with them.
Moreover, Li Dai was already quite old and it was time to start a family and start a business. Now that Li Dai came back, his parents began to make arrangements to find a partner for Li Dai and let Li Dai go on a blind date.
Dai Li is busy looking for a venue. He still plans to open a gym first, so that he can at least have a job that can support him without having to sit back and forth. Otherwise, during the blind date, if the woman asked about his job, Dai Li couldn't say that he was an unemployed vagrant, right
…
"It's quite nice here. There are several communities nearby, but the rent is still too expensive. Ask the owner if you can lower the rent some more," Li Dai said to an agent.
"Actually, the price in this location is not high anymore. As you know, the average price of houses nearby has exceeded 10,000 per square meter. And I heard from the owner that other agents are also optimistic about this site." The agent said seriously.
Dai Li sighed helplessly. In a small city like Yuzhou that could barely be called a third-tier city, the average price of houses has exceeded 10,000 yuan, and it is still rising. When new houses are opened, there are always hundreds of people queuing up. You have to grab them. Dai Li was a little confused about how to have a house. Do all the rich people have no houses these days
"I plan to rent it for a long time. According to the current price, I will have to pay a lot more for rent. Forget it, I'll consider other places!" Li Dai turned around and prepared to leave.
"Otherwise, I will discuss with the owner to see if there is room for price reduction." The agent immediately relaxed when he saw that Li Dai was about to give up. Apparently, the rental of this space is not as tight as the agent said.
At this moment, Dai Li's cell phone rang, and an unfamiliar number appeared on the screen.
"Qingcheng's number? Is he from the provincial team?" Li Dai hesitated for two seconds and then picked up the phone.
"Hello, hello." Dai Li said.
"Coach Li, I am Fang Dalu." The other party's voice sounded.
"Director Fang?" Li Dai was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the person calling him was Fang Haiquan's father, Fang Dalu, the chairman of Continental Group.
"Coach Li, I heard from Haiquan that you resigned from the national team?" Fang Dalu asked.
"Yes, I resigned." Dai Li did not hide anything.
"So have you found a new job now?" Fang Dalu asked next.
"Not yet, I plan to open my own gym." Dai Li replied.
"That's right!" Fang Dalu paused and then said, "I do have a job here. I wonder if you are interested?"
