Chapter 70 The Chinese swimming team gave Chen Shu a birthday surprise!
"Mom~"
On the eve of returning to China, Chen Shu finally met his mother Su Wan in the hotel.
She was much younger than he imagined, with fewer crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and she was a little serious when she didn't smile.
In Chen Shu's previous life, Su Wan was very strict.
Because she was his junior high school teacher, he had been attending various cram schools and training classes since he was a child. However, compared with other parents who only wanted to study, his mother still liked him to have a strong physique, so he became a sports student in high school.
Chen Shu finally chose his favorite skateboarding and swimming.
Su Wan was not like other parents. Seeing her son, she wanted to hug him. She just stepped forward and rubbed his hair, choking a little and said, "You've worked hard, son!"
She also witnessed Chen Shu's victory. Unlike her previous life, when she had high expectations for Chen Shu in all aspects, now her son has won the Olympic championship, and 5 gold medals. As a parent, what else can she ask for? !
The only hope now is that his son will be happier.
So now Su Wan also looks "kind-hearted" in Chen Shu's eyes, no longer the teacher she remembered.
"Mom, when are you going back?"
Chen Shu casually looked at the furnishings in the room. The hotel where Su Wan stayed was just okay. It was a domestic four-star hotel, costing more than 600 euros a night, which was so expensive that it made her cry. However, the hotel price increased during the Olympics, which was normal.
Five-star hotels cost about 1,000 euros a night, and this was the price near the La Défense Stadium in the suburbs. The center of Paris was even more expensive.
"The flight tomorrow...night is one day later than yours!"
Su Wan blinked and said.
"Your grandpa has asked someone to pick you up at the airport in Shanghai. You're not going back, are you?"
Su Wan heard from Chen Shu on WeChat that after flying directly to Shanghai, she seemed to be training there.
"No!"
"Go back before school starts!"
Chen Shu said casually, not noticing the abnormality on his mother's face.
Su Wan took a lot of sorted information and walked in front of him: "These are some brands selected by the swimming center. Mom has never heard of some of them. I consulted many friends and professionals in this field. They said you'd better form a team!"
"But you are too young, and you need a guardian to sign these!"
"Then will you resign?"
Chen Shu took the brands listed by Su Wan.
Nike, Adidas, swimming brands Speedo and Arena, and domestic Li Ning and Anta, which are sports brands.
There are also dairy products such as Mengniu and Yili... There are 70 or 80 brands, but some are competitors, so you can only choose one.
After selecting, there are about a dozen companies. The endorsement fees alone, such as single product endorsement, recommendation officer, and Asia-Pacific endorsement, are close to 80 million.
This is because he is young and his commercial value has not yet been truly reflected.
"I am also hesitating!"
Su Wan sighed: "If you quit, you can't go back, but if you don't quit, your dad won't follow you!"
"Mom, can I give you a suggestion?"
If it was Chen Shu in the previous life, Su Wan would definitely not listen to a 13-year-old child, but now he is a world champion after all, and Su Wan feels that her son seems to have become much more mature after this Olympics.
"You apply to the school and say that it is a special situation. Can you take a 2-year leave!"
"When the team is completed, I will be 16 years old by then, and you can go back to work!"
"2 years?"
Su Wan thinks her son may be overthinking.
"How could the school agree?"
Su Wan shook her head subconsciously, but Chen Shu smiled: "Then tell the school that I'm transferring!"
Su Wan: "..."
"Do you understand?"
Chen Shu smiled at his mother, and Su Wan figured it out: "You are really a clever little ghost. Who taught you?"
"There is such a precedent in the team!"
Chen Shu certainly didn't know if there was one, but from the school's point of view, he is now a hot commodity.
Not to mention that Su Wan took a leave of absence for 2 years, even if she stayed at home every day and did nothing, the school would be willing to pay her salary as long as Chen Shu stayed in Sucheng No. 1 Middle School; because as long as Chen Shu was there, he would be the best recruitment advertisement. Being in the same school with the Olympic five-gold king, not to mention the whole Sucheng, Su Province, and the whole country would be famous.
In addition to enrollment, sports specialties and special projects can also be carried out, and asking for funding from above and various selections are also given priority.
In the final analysis, if you are famous, you have everything.
Chen Shu still has three years of junior high school, and even if he graduates, it is still a favorable promotion.
As long as the school is not stupid, Su Wan does not do anything out of line, and Chen Shu behaves himself, the school leaders will definitely agree.
"Then Mom will talk to the school!"
"What about these brands?"
"I will pick a few for you, and then they may have to come to Shanghai to shoot these endorsement ads. I don't have time for training during the day, so I can only take time to shoot at night. The director of this swimming center should have told them, right?"
"And the formation of the team, Mom, send me your resume when the time comes!"
These days, Chen Shu has also learned a lot from the swimming team. They have a very mature process and system for the trade-offs between training and business.
Under the condition that it does not delay the athletes' competitions and training, the brand will try its best to meet the athletes' time needs.
This is not quite the same as celebrity endorsements.
However, the contracts of athletes are more stringent than those of stars, and there are requirements for both competitions and careers.
It doesn’t mean that you can retire directly after signing. This is not possible. There are relevant details in the contract.
After chatting with Su Wan for a while, Chen Shu returned to the dormitory in the Olympic Village.
This year’s Paris Olympic Organizing Committee called it the “Anti-epidemic Guidelines”.Relevant regulations require athletes to leave within 72 hours after the end of the competition; so Chen Shu took the afternoon flight directly to Shanghai.
In fact, Paris had no money and was chasing people away, which was one of the reasons why Cui Dengrong rejected Pan Zhanle as the flag bearer of the closing ceremony.
It is really unsafe to stay in a hotel, and it also delays training.
"Where are they?"
After Chen Shu returned to the dormitory and packed up the things to take back home, there was no one in the entire swimming team dormitory.
Even Cui Dengrong was not there.
Pan Zhanle: "I went shopping and will be back soon!"
Wang Shun: "Watching the track and field competition!"
Xu Jiayu: "Buy, buy, buy!"
"..."
Looking at the message popped up in the Chinese Swimming Team group, Chen Shu shook his head speechlessly; his endorsement fee has not been received yet, and the Olympic Committee did not have any bonus after winning the championship, only medals.
As for the rewards from the state, the general bureau, and the local government, he would have to wait until he returned to China to receive them.
The only thing he had on him was the 10,000 yuan his mother gave him on WeChat.
So he didn't join in the fun, and at most brought some Olympic mascot dolls and badges to his classmates.
Turning on the TV, Chen Shu watched the live broadcast of the Olympics.
After a while, the members of the swimming team came back one after another, and Zhang Zhanshuo also took his mother to Paris for a walk. He was different from Chen Shu. Chen Shu had no fame before, and he didn't have any endorsements.
He had two World Championship titles in his hands, and he had signed many brands long ago, so he made a lot of money.
These brands were equivalent to investing in advance, waiting for the day when he appreciated in value, and they would make money.
Chen Shu doesn't have these advantages. He was not famous before, but suddenly became popular. The brands were caught off guard. Just like the last Tokyo Olympics, Quan Hongchan won 14 championships. No one had ever heard of such a person before.
"I'm leaving so suddenly. I'm a little reluctant!"
After Zhang Zhanshuo packed up, he and Chen Shu carried their luggage. The two looked at the empty Olympic Village dormitory, took a photo as a souvenir, and posted a circle of friends.
"What's there to be reluctant about? It's not a good place. Next time, I'll go to Los Angeles!"
Chen Shu smiled.
He really didn't miss it. The main reason was that the Paris Olympics was hard to describe. He only lived a little more comfortably in the last two days. Before that, he had to take frequent urine tests. The food was even more tasteless. Chen Shu wanted to return to China as soon as possible.
"Yes, Los Angeles!"
"Our swimming team broke all kinds of history and records this time. 8 gold medals is also the best result in history. We may not be able to win so many next time!"
After all, it is the home court of the Americans. Can you still be so arrogant?
"The next Los Angeles will definitely be difficult!"
"Be prepared. It's no different from a war. There will be all kinds of unfairness, such as tricks and misjudgments!"
As Chen Shu said, the two of them walked downstairs.
"Now that you mention it, why do I feel that four years from now is a little scary?"
"What are you talking about?"
Wang Shun and others also came up. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
"Los Angeles, what else can I say!"
"2028, Los Angeles Olympics?"
Wang Shun curled his lips: "What are you afraid of? Hard confrontation, if you have the strength, you are not afraid of anything, right, Captain Pan?"
Wang Shun looked at Pan Zhanle.
Pan Zhanle laughed: "You must be fine. It's not certain whether you can participate in four years. I am not sure. Who knows what tricks the Americans will use?"
"You want to die, right? I'm only 34 after four years. Why can't I participate?"
"Is there anyone in the team who can swim faster than me in the medley? If so, I will give way?"
Wang Shun said a little arrogantly. In fact, they were all joking.
However, Los Angeles four years later is indeed hell mode; it is different from the previous Tokyo. Tokyo's daily life is just to make a fuss about the advantageous events and make some small refereeing tricks, such as the gymnastics misjudgment.
In Los Angeles, swimming is definitely one of the must-win events for the United States. []
This time, China stepped on their heads, even if they all transformed into Thanos, they couldn't beat them. Then the next time, they must take drugs + skills + external tricks, and they must do everything to win the gold medal in swimming.
How difficult it is, in fact, everyone here, even if they haven't experienced it yet, can imagine it.
"In the next four years, we must practice harder!"
"The Olympics are no different from other events. We have to go no matter how difficult it is!"
"Yes, it's like a war. If we don't participate, they will think we are afraid of them. The best way is to strike them when they are sure to win. This is the most fatal!"
"The next one is crucial!"
If China can beat the United States in such an extreme competition, what else is there to be afraid of?
The myth was shattered in this way!
"Well, come on!"
"To defeat the enemy on their territory is the sign of true strength!"
The members of the swimming team were united in their determination. Cui Dengrong laughed a little when he heard it: "Why, there are still 4 left, and they are mobilized now?"
"Haha!"
Everyone laughed.
"But it's true. Los Angeles four years later will be our next biggest battlefield!"
"All the preparations and efforts are for this battle!"
"So, go back and work harder. First, win the Swimming World Cup in two months. This is a battle at home. We must fight it beautifully. Do you hear me?"
"I heard it!"
Everyone shouted in unison. Several coaches and Huang Wei looked at the team in front of them with satisfaction.
Although some people may not be in the next session, at present, this is indeed a qualified "Chinese Swimming Dream Team"!
"Let's go, let's go——"
"Go home!"
Cui Dengrong waved his hand and said those two words excitedly.
After more than a month of "fighting" and preparation, everyone's face was filled with a longing for home.
The word "motherland" seemed particularly sacred at this moment.
As Zheng Qinwen said when she won the women's tennis championship, although I am very tired and exhausted now, if I can, I can still fight for my country for another three hours.
The group carried their luggage and boarded the bus to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Two hours later, facing the sunset, Chen Shu was already on the plane back to China.
"Welcome to China Eastern Airlines MU570 flight from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to Shanghai Pudong International Airport, China. I am the chief steward Lei Ming this time! ”
“Here we send off our heroes with the highest respect and warmest welcome. It is an honor for all our crew members that they can take our flight this time. Our Chinese Swimming Team has achieved such brilliant results in this Paris Olympics. We wish them to achieve more success and win glory for the country!”
“At the same time, we wish Chen Shu, who won five gold medals in this Olympics, a happy 14th birthday!”
“Our crew has prepared a special birthday gift for him. I hope he will like it!”
“Happy birthday, Chen Shu!”
The flight attendant and the flight attendants were talking, and then my mother Su Wan actually pushed a cake to Chen Shu.
“Oh oh oh——”
All the swimmers in the cabin, including coaches and team leaders, shouted.
“Happy birthday, Brother Shu! ”
“Brother Shu, you are 14 now, get a few more gold medals!”
“Make a wish quickly, break the record of Team Pan!”
“Haha, that’s right!”
Wang Shun and a few others were making a fuss. They had already made a fuss on Pan Zhanle’s birthday a few days ago, and this time it was Chen Shu’s turn.
“…”
Chen Shu looked at the cake in front of him and his mother who was smiling at him, and he smiled a little.
Because the plane was booked by the swimming team, the display screen on the plane was scrolling around with various birthday wishes from each swimming team member to Chen Shu, as well as carefully prepared gifts... In the afternoon, this group of people went shopping, and it turned out that many people went to prepare gifts for him.
After all, he was the youngest in the swimming team, and many people took good care of him.
“Thank you everyone! ”
Chen Shu was very moved and bowed to everyone. In the birthday songs of countless people, Chen Shu made a wish.
"I wish the Chinese swimming team will be more brilliant with each session!"
Hu~~
Chen Shu blew out the candles and was about to cut the cake when Cui Dengrong reached out: "Okay, you don't need to cut the cake next, you can't eat it!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone gloatedLaughing, some people even took photos with their mobile phones.
They were just waiting for this funny part.
A few days ago, Pan Zhanle was the same, and he sniffed the cake.
"Can I cut it and give it to you?"
Chen Shu took the knife to cut the cake, and Pan Zhanle was the first to disagree: "No, at most you can smell it, I'm afraid you can't help but eat it secretly!"
"..."
Finally, Chen Shu still cut a few pieces.
Every member of the swimming team looked at Cui Dengrong and others with great envy, and the hatred in their hearts!
Damn, it's too greedy.
To be honest, Chen Shu was also drooling. This Parisian meal is indeed not suitable for Chinese babies; but athletes do have high requirements for diet, not to mention that this cake was bought in a store, and no one knows whether anyone has tampered with it.
Now Chen Shu and Pan Zhanle have obviously become the key monitoring targets of the WADA International Anti-Doping Agency.
You may be put under flight surveillance as soon as you get off the plane. This is extremely possible.
So for absolute safety, you have to control your diet.
"Let's go home~~~"
Amid the cheers of countless people, the plane circled over Paris, and then flew out in the direction of China. .
