Chapter 243 Do you really think you're so special?
"What National Games? How could Lin Chen, a college student, participate in the National Games?"
Seeing the school's top leaders so surprised, Xia Jieli felt a little happy.
It seems that these leaders, like myself, don't know much about this student, Lin Chen.
"Principal, Lin Chen is this year's sprint champion in Dongjiang Province. He's even transferred his household registration to Beijing now, so of course he can represent Beijing in the National Games..."
Old Wang slapped his forehead, only then remembering that this young man he had high hopes for was not only this year's top scorer in the national college entrance examination, but also this year's rising star in the sports world.
He won the provincial sprint championship and broke the national record!
What the hell...
If it weren't for Old Wang's advanced age, I really would have wanted to make a comment.
This kid is way too energetic today.
How much time do you actually have? How come you have such a wide range of interests?
However, it's not entirely fair to say that Principal Xu and his colleagues didn't notice this.
After all, they are academics. Although the whole country is discussing the National Games these days, they don't really care about sports.
Principal Xu shook his head and asked, "Never mind, can he come back now?"
"I'm afraid that won't work. Lin Chen's match seems to be in the next couple of days, and he can't possibly come back."
Principal Xu and the others didn't care, but Xia Jieli had been watching the news about the National Games quite a bit these past two days and knew that Lin Chen was participating in the events of these two days.
At this point, how could the track and field team possibly let him come back?
Principal Xu picked up his phone, intending to call the Municipal Sports Bureau.
But he put the phone down again shortly after picking it up.
"Teacher Xia, it's fine if Lin Chen doesn't come back. Just fly to Guangzhou right now and make him sign this letter of self-criticism!"
Xia Jieli didn't refuse, but after taking the letter of self-criticism, she asked another question:
"Principal, will you reimburse my airfare?"
"Report!"
……
Although winter is approaching, Guangzhou in November is still as warm as spring.
The highly anticipated National Games have begun.
As the largest sports event in China, this event was broadcast live by Longguo TV, and various provinces and cities also sent news teams to interview and report on the competition results of their athletes.
Today, the National Games has reached its highest level of popularity since its opening.
Because the most anticipated running event will be held today.
"Dear viewers, this is the sports channel. Next up is the men's 100-meter sprint. Today we are honored to have Olympic champion and former national team sprinter Liu Feiren as our commentator."
In the studio, the female host looked at the guest Liu Feiren with admiration.
Although he has been retired from the sports world for several years, Liu Xiang still maintains a great physique, and the female host could not hide her admiration.
"Hello Liu Feiren, which sprint event are you most interested in today, and which athlete do you think has the best chance?"
Although Liu Xiang has been retired for many years, his past training has instilled in him the habit of speaking succinctly.
"There's nothing I'm particularly concerned about. After all, I've been away from the track for many years. If I have any attachments, it's definitely the projects I used to participate in."
As for the athletes... as far as I know, China is now producing a lot of sprinting talent. For example, last year at the National Track and Field Grand Prix, athlete Ailixi broke the 400-meter record, which left a very deep impression on me.
There's also Leung Man-tong, whose time in the last Grand Prix was only 0.01 seconds slower than that of Alixie, making them formidable rivals!
Oh, and there's another young player I'm currently most interested in!
Although the female host already knew the news, she pretended not to know and asked, "Oh? Which contestant are you referring to?"
"Of course it's Lin Chen, the athlete representing Beijing in the 400-meter event! I just heard about him!"
what?
Lin Chen?
Are you talking about Lin Chen, who just proved Goldbach's Conjecture?
He's here too?!
At the same moment, many viewers in the live stream were stunned.
I thought I had heard it wrong.
Or they just have the same name.
But what Liu Feiren said next told them that they hadn't misheard.
"I really didn't expect that this person, who just proved a world-class mathematical conjecture not long ago, would now be representing Beijing in the men's 400-meter event."
"Yes, I was surprised too."
The female host nodded in agreement, and then explained to the audience, "I heard that Lin Chen was temporarily recruited by the Beijing Track and Field Team. He is currently studying at Longke University, and his household registration has been transferred to Beijing, which is why he is qualified to represent Beijing in the competition."
Liu Feiren smiled and said, "When I first heard this news, I thought it was a joke. But later I learned that this student, Lin Chen, just broke the 400-meter record held by athlete Elisi this year."
"However, there has been little news about Lin Chen since that competition, until the recent math competition. So I have doubts about his current physical condition and will pay more attention to him."
At the same time, the live stream chat was flooded with comments.
"Holy crap! It really is that Lin Chen?!"
"He actually participated in the National Games? That's a really big leap for him!"
"The people upstairs aren't well-informed. Didn't Liu Feiren just say that Lin Chen is the current national 400-meter record holder?"
"I thought it was just someone with the same name, but I didn't expect it to be the same person?"
"But I didn't see Lin Chen at the opening ceremony a few days ago?"
"I heard he just came from Beijing. After all, he's been so popular these days. I heard he's about to win the Cheng Zitong Mathematics Award!"
"Lin Shen is awesome! He's skilled in both literature and martial arts!"
"I'm bowing down to this master! This is what talent is all about!"
……
Meanwhile, in the athletes' lounge, Lin Chen was making final preparations.
On the side, Coach Ou of the Beijing Track and Field Team was filled with excitement.
He never expected that he would actually be able to invite Lin Chen over.
In fact, Coach Ou noticed Lin Chen a long time ago, after all, he was a rising star in the sports world who had broken the national record.
However, since the other party was from Dongjiang Province, Coach Ou only paid attention to them briefly.
Unexpectedly, after Lin Chen proved Goldbach's conjecture, he once again came into Coach Ou's sights.
He never expected that this person would actually come to the capital to study.
As is well known, when studying at Longguo University, one's household registration is transferred to the local collective household registration.
Therefore, Lin Chen, who originally had nothing to do with the capital, suddenly became qualified to represent the capital in the competition.
So Coach Ou sent a private message to Lin Chen on Weibo, inviting him to represent Beijing in the competition.
I was just planning to give it a try, but I never expected them to actually agree!
It's a pity that Lin Chen couldn't go to Guangzhou with the team because he was going to win the Cheng Zitong Mathematics Award.
When the higher-ups found out, they were worried that Lin Chen wouldn't be able to report on time, so they only gave him a 400-meter representative qualification.
Otherwise, Coach Ou originally planned to have Lin Chen participate in all the sprint events in this competition!
Thinking of this, Coach Ou checked the time and patted Lin Chen on the shoulder:
"Lin Chen, are you ready?"
"no problem."
"Let's go then!"
Lin Chen nodded and followed the other person out of the lounge and headed to the arena.
To be honest, Lin Chen's decision to participate in this National Games was not a spur-of-the-moment thing.
After all, he still had the task of participating in a national competition on his shoulders.
So when Lin Chen saw Coach Ou's private message on Weibo, he immediately agreed.
Lin Chen did not come to Guangzhou with the Beijing team only because of Cheng Zitong's math award a few days ago.
However, after hearing that Cheng Zitong insisted on writing an apology letter herself, and that the school was going to write it for him and just need his signature, Lin Chen immediately boarded a plane to Guangzhou without looking back.
It's not directed at Principal Xu and his group!
It's just that I'm dissatisfied with Cheng Zitong.
WTF? !
Do I really have to apologize myself?
They really think they're something special!
I'll give you the prize, but I can't apologize, not even with an autograph!
