final winner

Seeing Zhou Pingkun dealing with Duan Chen, Lu Dongxu got the limelight, and further reports naturally fell on Duan Chen.

For a professional and original newspaper like "Front Sports", usually newcomers will inevitably do chores for a month or two when they come in.Duan Chen directly opened the copy of the edited manuscript. If it were someone else, his colleagues might feel dissatisfied in addition to being envious.But fortunately, Duan Chen, as a diligent and generous errand boy before, had already gained enough favorability and did not cause any trouble.

To do a follow-up report on this news, it is natural to go to the National Sports Bureau.

However, what the State Sports Bureau wanted to see was not Duan Chen, but Lu Dongxu and Ye Jianping. The former offered comfort and care, while the latter took it for granted and naturally severely criticized it.

The people in the sports bureau also didn't expect that the reporter would come to the door before the two athletes arrived.

Duan Chen waited in the office with a smile, not in a hurry, and asked the deputy director, what do you think of this incident? Are there many shady scenes in the sports world? Has this kind of thing happened in other sports? ...

The deputy director sighed inwardly, trying every means to play verbal word games.While doing Tai Chi, someone symbolically knocked on the opened door.

Ye Jiancheng stood at the door, with Lu Dongxu behind him.

Duan Chen turned his head, glanced at it, then turned around and said with a smile: "I've caught up, the protagonists are all here, Deputy Director Zhang doesn't mind if I watch from the side, readers are very concerned."

Mind if it helps?

The deputy director had no choice but to say, "Come in."

Ye Jiancheng's appearance is ordinary, but his figure is good. At this time, his complexion is naturally bad, depressed and haggard, with a trace of unwillingness, and he looks very old.

There was also Lu Dongxu standing beside him, comparing him to the dust.

The deputy director coughed and said, "The matter of this time has been investigated clearly. Ye Jiancheng, you hand in a [-]-word self-criticism. In addition to being suspended for one year, you will not be able to appear in the national team's training for three months." In the list, is it clear?"

Ye Jiancheng gritted his teeth: "Got it."

The deputy director looked at Lu Dongxu again, and his voice was much gentler: "Xiao Lu has been wronged this time... There is nothing that can compensate you. If the relationship with your teammates is not good in the future, you can report it to the leader."

Lu Dongxu: "Yes."

The deputy director showed a relieved expression.

"Hey, Leader Zhang, if because of this incident, other people in the national team are more unwilling to deal with Xiao Lu, what should we do?" Duan Chen asked suddenly, and pointed out bluntly, "If you can't afford it, you can't hide it. What? When something like this happens, other athletes are afraid that they will be the ones who will be unlucky next time, and they are even less willing to deal with Lu, how to deal with this situation?"

Deputy Director: "Uh..."

Duan Chen: "Besides, Xiao Lu was excluded from the list of the Youth Olympic Games. It seems that this is not the only one who participated? Why didn't the others see any punishment?"

Of course there can't be any punishment. If you really want to investigate carefully, there are not many people in the national team!

"...Actually, for the Youth Olympic Games, Xiaolu is really not yet old...We prefer 18-year-old athletes to participate. After all, there is still a gap between 14-year-old and 18-year-old athletes competing on the same stage."

Duan Chen smiled: "Huh? So, did everyone wrong Ye Jiancheng?" As he spoke, he glanced at the ugly-faced people around him, of course, concealing his disdain.

"No, I can only say that it is a product of comprehensive factors. It is possible to send anyone... Sigh..."

Duan Chen's recording pen didn't stop, and he said again: "Oh, so the athletes can't be blamed... But Xiao Lu was innocent from the beginning to the end. Although the truth of this incident finally came to light, it was such a big mess that made it difficult for everyone to understand. Xiao Lu will have no friends in the national team in the future, what should we do? After all, Xiao Lu is still a victim."

The victim Lu Dongxu looked at Duan Chen with a smile in his eyes.

Obviously the other party has considered a lot for him.

Deputy director: "This... is really a problem..."

Duan Chen said: "Actually, we who are in the media naturally have a lot of resources at hand. Although we can't compare with CCTV, we know more than the public. To be honest, Wu Wei was not named this time, which is really disappointing." I'm a little surprised...but I understand."

The deputy chief was shocked.

"Sports families always have some status in the sports world. It's normal to not move as long as they can." Duan Chen changed the subject, "But if you don't move him for a day, you won't have Xiao Lu in the national team for a day. position, isn't it?"

Wu Wei was the one who replaced Lu Dongxu in the Youth Olympic Games. Chen Ming despised him very much. His performance in competitions was never outstanding, but his promotion from the provincial team to the national team was extremely smooth.It's not hard to know that Lu Dongxu is rich and powerful, but why do these people dare to exclude him?

After all, it was because of Wu Wei.

He was born into a sports family, his father is a former international player, and his aunt is a world table tennis champion. Not to mention the General Administration of Sports, even the International Olympic Committee has people to support him.

That's why Ye Jiancheng dared to fight against Lu Dongxu, and why Wu Wei was among those who finally qualified for the Youth Olympic Games.

Duan Chen looked at the deputy director and said, "I've always wondered why there are no outstanding talents in some sports in our country, and why we haven't been able to produce a top male tennis player for a hundred years... I know Many athletes did not succeed in the end, not because they were not good enough, but because they were treated unfairly, or even...persecuted. Now, there is a very good seedling in front of your eyes, I hope you can uphold fairness Fair sportsmanship to deal with this whole thing."

The deputy director was startled, thoughtful, but did not speak.

Ye Jiancheng originally thought that this matter would be over soon, but he never expected that there would be such a reporter who ran over and said such a long story, and his expression was very complicated for a while.

And Lu Dongxu looked at Duan Chen, and slightly bent the corners of his lips.

"...I will discuss this matter with the leader and my colleagues." After a long time, Deputy Director Zhang sighed and looked at Lu Dongxu, "Xiao Lu, even sports will not always maintain balance and fairness... ...I don't deny it...but tennis is a sport for one person, even if the road is a bit tortuous, I hope you will go on well."

Which one of the people sitting in the State Sports General Administration has not made some achievements in the field of sports?

The deputy director also seemed to recall something from his youth, about passion and dreams.He almost sighed: "You are our hope, go farther."

And Lu Dongxu replied seriously: "I will."

Even if you have been unwilling and encountered injustice, you will never give up your goals easily.

We will go all out despite the wind and rain.

Duan Chen laughed and turned off the recorder.

☆, Chapter 39

Lu Dongxu stood by the flower bed and waited for Duan Chen. Duan Chen wanted to interview Ye Jiancheng, but he was not happy to find the other party. Lu Dongxu was kind and did not participate.

Duan Chen also remembered Lu Dongxu in his heart, so he stopped after making Ye Jiancheng's face livid. Anyway, the information at hand was enough for him to write a report to disgust this guy.

When Lu Dongxu heard Duan Chen's footsteps, he turned around. Unexpectedly, Duan Chen, who was older than him, was dead and unruly, so he rushed forward and hugged him.

There is a corner next to the flower bed, and the location is inconspicuous. Before Lu Dongxu could react, he was kissed firmly by Duan Shenjie, and his cheeks felt hot again.

Duan Chen said with a smile: "The cooperation is good this time, and those evil villains will definitely be brought down."

The two did not meet by chance at the General Administration of Sports, but Duan Chen first asked Lu Dongxu about the time, and then came to find fault. Even the lines were carefully prepared... Now it seems that the deputy director this time is indeed Impressed.

Lu Dongxu hummed, just looked at him and smiled.

Duan Chen asked: "When are you going to take me to meet your parents?"

Lu Dongxu said, "Is tomorrow okay?"

Duan Chen's eyes widened: "Ah? Isn't it your birthday tomorrow? Your parents don't think I'm an eyesore, do they?"

"No." Lu Dongxu said, "I will like you."

"I hope so." Duan Chen and Lu Dongxu walked side by side, and suddenly thought, "Isn't your mother abroad? Could it be that you're going back to China this time?"

Lu Dongxu: "Yes."

"Then... what if my appearance drives her away?"

Lu Dongxu stopped and looked at Duan Chen: "Tomorrow's plane... Let's pick her up together, shall we?"

What courage, young man.

Duan Chen: "Okay, okay, so if she gets angry, it will be more convenient to fly back directly. It's good."

Lu Dongxu: "..."

Duan Chen muttered: "I have prepared a birthday present for you. Now it seems that I can only secretly give it to you tomorrow... No, we should observe the enemy's situation. How to give the gift is a problem."

Lu Dongxu's eyes couldn't help but brighten up.

Everyone looks forward to a gift from a lover.

Duan Chen rubbed his nose: "Brother is an uncreative person, anyway, it's very vulgar, don't think too much. I don't think you are too fancy. On my birthday, you can still have a copy... ...By the way, let me test you, when is my birthday?"

Lu Dongxu reported the standard answer: "September 9."

Duan Shen looked at the sky and said with emotion: "Oh, I didn't have a good life, I hope the American people don't blame me."

The two parted at the gate of the Sports General Administration, and Lu Dongxu wanted to go back to school and do training.Duan Chen's job is very flexible. Anyway, the materials for going out for interviews have already been obtained, so he might as well try his hand at fishing in the next time.

Sitting in a taxi, he called Lou Yan: "How is your health? Are you interested in going out for a walk?"

Lou Yan's surgery was scheduled for more than three months, but he is in good condition recently.

"Okay...but why didn't you find Xiao Lu?"

"You have a good eye...and if you drag Xiao Lu to buy him a birthday present, then don't I become a dishonest scumbag?"

Lou Yan couldn't help laughing: "How do you know that you are Gong?"

"I'll go, you really know what gong is, it's too unlike your style of painting."

Duan Chen's tone was relaxed, but Lou Yan suddenly fell silent, and said lightly: "...I know, someone told me about it."

Duan Chen realized that he didn't expect that Lou Yan's online dating partner was actually a rotten girl... He didn't dare to say any more, so he hung up the phone and went home first, preparing to go to the hospital to pick up Lou Yan.

An hour later, the underground garage of the Central Commercial Building.

Duan Chen drove his own Ferrari again. He looked like a man in a suit and leather shoes, and he could see the halo of being rich and handsome above his head from a distance.He paid the parking fee and dragged Lou Yan straight to the most expensive luxury goods counter.

"It's better to take a taxi. A tip is enough for me to take two trips. It's not because you are precious, you can't even take a taxi."

Lou Yan laughed at him: "Well, but obviously your boyfriend is more expensive, come here to be an uncle, have you forgotten that you still owe me money?"

Duan Chen pretended not to hear, and asked: "Will it be too vulgar to do so? It seems to be too temperamental..."

Lou Yan smiled: "A promise is the best gift, as long as you are serious."

Duan Chen said: "Well, I want to give him the best."

This is not the first time he has given this gift, but he knows that this time, he will never regret it again.

***

the next day.

Duan Chen got up early to go to work, and his work went very smoothly. The interview he did yesterday has also been reported.I checked the news and saw nothing bad.Swiping Weibo, I found that my last interaction with the official movie blog caused a bloodbath, and I retweeted it over ten thousand times, all wondering who the beautiful boy in the picture is.The official blog is very low-key, pretending to be dead.

Duan Chen called Lu Haiyang again to say hello, and the other party said that he didn't have time to do public relations, let everyone guess freely, and that the budget was too much, and the filming was fast, so he could save some money for advertising.

In short, everything is very comfortable.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Duan Chen got off work early, and after going home to change clothes or not to change clothes, he struggled for a long time, so he decided to go to the airport in a casual suit for work.

He changed to a medium-priced black Honda, went to the Olympic Sports Center to pick up Lu Dongxu, and then drove to the Capital International Airport to pick up the plane.

Duan Chen didn't expect that he would feel nervous.

"Recently, my hair has grown and I haven't had time to cut it. Does your mother think I look too frivolous?"

Lu Dongxu: "No, don't worry."

Duan Chen is very handsome, with handsome facial features, he belongs to the kind of handsome guy who is very attractive.In contrast, Lu Dongxu has mixed blood, and his facial features are more three-dimensional, which will make people feel amazing at a glance, and he is extremely handsome.

Duan Chen's hair is not long, at least his eyebrows and eyes are not covered, he is clear and bright, he looks like an outstanding young man, how can he be frivolous?

Asking this way is obviously worrying blindly.After all, coming out is a big deal, Lu Dongxu was actually a little nervous, but after seeing Duan Chen's reaction, he suddenly relaxed a lot.

It's not just one person, but two people, working towards the same future.

Mother Lu's plane arrived at 05:30 in the afternoon, and it was almost five o'clock when the two arrived.

As a result, it was five o'clock, but was told that the plane was late, and the exact time was unknown.Duan Chen and Lu Dongxu were talking instead of playing with their mobile phones, each holding a cup of hot coffee.

The airport is cold and wide, and there are many people, all in a hurry.

"Xiao Lu, if your parents don't accept me anyway, will you separate from me?" Duan Chen said suddenly.

"No." Lu Dongxu replied, "I like you."

Duan Chen laughed, "Me too."

Although it sounds naive, as long as you like it, you have to be together regardless of everything.But if you really want to care about it, what can be the enemy of love?

The luck of the two was not too bad, and the plane landed at 06:30.

All the way, Mother Lu was thinking about what kind of...a man her son's first love was.

After seeing Duan Chen, although his face was icy cold, he didn't feel too bad in his heart.Her ability to accept is actually stronger than Lu's father. After all, she is of mixed Chinese and English, and Britain has long accepted same-sex marriage.

And Duan Chen could tell at a glance that Lu Dongxu's beauty was mostly inherited from his mother. Lu's mother was very beautiful, with both western delicacy and oriental classics. She hardly wore much makeup, but she looked very young.

Many things are often the most nervous before the start, but after they are actually carried out, they can be calmed down instead.Duan Chen quickly got into the mood, probably because Lu's mother and Lu Dongxu looked alike, he immediately relaxed.

Lu Dongxu spoke first: "Mom."

Mother Lu hummed, and Duan Chen immediately said, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Duan Chen."

Mother Lu took this opportunity to look up and down the young man in front of her, then nodded slightly: "Hello."

Duan Chen smiled and helped Mother Lu push the luggage, but Mother Lu did not refuse.

At this time, Lu's father also called. The food at home was getting cold, so he urged people to come back quickly.

So Duan Chen became a driver again, driving his Honda diligently.In order to show that he is a serious person, he drives the car very steadily and attentively.

Mother Lu sat in the back and asked a few questions from time to time.

"What does Xiaoduan do?"

"I'm still a student now. I'm about to graduate from university. I've already applied for a graduate student at G University. I should be able to pass in the second half of the year. I'm also doing an internship. I'm a sports reporter. Well, I usually make some investments myself."

"Well, where is your family?"

"My father used to be a reporter, but now he works in the media. My mother has passed away. When she was alive, she was a university professor for several years."

"I'm very sorry."

"It's all right, Auntie."

"How did you and A Xu meet?"

"We belonged to the same school in middle and high school. When I was in college, I went back to school and gave a speech before I officially met. Since then, we have been friends. Until this year, I gave him an interview and asked him to help my friend shoot commercials. , with more contact, it will come naturally..." Duan Chen glanced at Lu Dongxu in the mirror, and found that the other party seemed to be looking at him, so he couldn't help smiling, and said, "Actually, after the first official meeting, I have been I really like Xiao Lu, and I have liked him for a long time. Auntie, I am serious."

Mother Lu was silent for a moment, then looked at the interaction between the eyes of the two, and said, "I see."

All the way to Xiapin mansion safely, the guard saw that Duan Chen knew each other, and he readily let him go.The car drove to the European-style gate, the automatic door opened, and Lu's father stood on the steps and waited.

Duan Chen stopped the car, and the servant came to collect the luggage, but the housekeeper was already waiting: "Madam, sir, you have been waiting for a long time."

Mother Lu said: "Just let him wait. I can't control the delay of the plane. Butler Chen, long time no see. You are still in good spirits."

The butler smiled and led the way for them.

As a wealthy lady, Xiao Lu's mother is very approachable, and she talks casually with the housekeeper, as if she is not as noble and glamorous as she looks.

Duan Chen and Lu Dongxu looked at each other and walked into the villa.

Lu's father and Lu's mother had already talked. When Duan Shennian was in elementary school, his mother committed suicide due to depression. He was very unfamiliar with this kind of loving couple's way of getting along, so he couldn't help being startled.

"It's too late, I can't buy a suitable plane ticket, what's wrong with telling you to wait? It's better than dragging me on the plane, right?"

"It's not that I don't want to wait, but I'm afraid that something will happen to you. There have been too many plane crashes recently."

"How many times have I said that I will be careful about myself, but you like to think wildly."

"..."

Duan Chen has never lacked anything since he was a child, but now he feels a little envious.He was in a daze when he heard Lu's father say, "I'm sorry, I forgot to say hello. Hello, is Duan Chen right? I'm Dongxu's father."

Duan Chen immediately said, "Hello, Uncle."

The middle-aged man smiled gently: "Hi, welcome."

Duan Chen didn't expect Lu Dongxu's father to be so generous and amiable. The melancholy and envy in his heart suddenly turned into emotion, and he paused and said, "Thank you."

For a person who has prepared for the worst, such tolerance really deserves a thank you.

The four sat down to eat.

The dining table is very long, but the Lu family doesn't pay too much attention to it. Sitting in twos facing each other, only one third of the table is used.

Duan Chen originally thought that Lu Dongxu's family should be very westernized, but he didn't expect to eat Chinese food. Mother Lu pointed to a fish head with chopped peppers and said with a smile: "I am the only one who likes spicy food at home. I did it."

Duan Chen: "I also like spicy food, but my favorite is pickled fish."

Mother Lu showed a surprised look.

Father Lu laughed loudly: "She also likes to eat this, and always asks the cook to cook a big pot for her. This time, I thought you were coming, so I didn't make such a big dish for fear of scaring you."

Never thought that the way to conquer the parents of your sweetheart is to talk about food!

Duan Chen immediately said: "I have eaten many pickled fish restaurants, and I know that one is very authentic, and I even took Xiao Lu to eat there. If Auntie is interested, we can go together next time."

Lu's mother was even more surprised, and suddenly lost her previous glamorous demeanor: "Okay, okay! Hey, my son is so partial, this kid has never been willing to eat pickled fish with me!"

Lu Dongxu took a chopstick of fish head with chopped peppers and put it into Duan's heavy bowl, facing the gazes of the three, he hummed calmly.

Mother Lu was angry and asked Father Lu: "Did the baby not love me anymore?"

Lu's father hurriedly said how it was possible, and then gave Lu Dongxu a wink. Lu Dongxu put another fish with chopsticks into Lu's mother's bowl, and Lu's mother lost her anger just now.

As a result, the atmosphere at the table improved a lot.

Like Lu's mother, Lu's father asked Duan Chen a few more questions.He had long seen Duan Chen's elegant demeanor and good bearing, and he expected to come from an extraordinary background, so he soon found out that Duan Chen was the only son of the chairman of a well-known domestic media group.

After dinner, Lu Dongxu and Lu's mother sat on the sofa and watched TV together.

Father Lu proposed to have a good talk with Duan Chen.

"Xiao Duan, to be honest, I have a very good impression of you. We will not object to your further communication with Dongxu. Everyone has the right to choose a partner. It is impossible for parents to deprive you of this right just because the other party is of the same sex." This kind of right." Father Lu said, "But I want to know, are you sure about your father's side?"

Duan Chen was already so moved, the Lu family's parents were really nice, he had the urge to call them directly.

Now he said frankly: "I'm not completely sure that I can convince him, but I will not let Xiao Lu be wronged. Take ten thousand steps back, even if he disagrees, I will be with Xiao Lu."

Father Lu pondered: "Why?"

Duan Chen said: "I'm sorry, uncle, I'm not a person who likes to talk big, but please give me some time, I want to prove it to you."

Father Lu smiled, still very gentle: "If I need your proof now, what will you use to show me your sincerity?"
