[Short track speed skating] From academic master to Winter Olympic champion

Not long after the summer vacation, the National Winter Management Center suddenly issued an announcement: the coaching staff of the national short track speed skating team resigned, the former head coach of the youth team Cheng Sen took over as the head coach of the national team, and the former technical director of the youth team Xu Qing served as the technical director of the national team , The youth team physical coach, equipment division, and team doctor took over the corresponding positions of the national team at the same time.

In the past, the national team hired a foreign coach, and the entire coaching team was also brought by this coach.

Due to the poor results in the Winter Olympics, Coach Yang and his team resigned voluntarily, and Cheng Sen and his team are now taking over.

Chi Lang called Gu Ran as soon as he saw the news: "Gu Xiaoran, have you seen it?"

Gu Ran replied calmly: "I see."

Chi Lang was still roaring on the phone: "My idol is now the coach of the national team!!!"

Gu Ran was doing her homework, and let out a "hmm" from her nasal cavity.

Chi Lang continued: "There is also Director Xu, who is now the technical director of the national team."

Gu Ran said "hmm" again.

"Director Zhang is now also the physical coach of the national team."

"Ah."

"and also……"

Gu Ran interrupted him, "There is also Guidance Guo, who is now the equipment engineer of the national team; Dr. Deng, who is also the team doctor of the national team; and Team Leader Yu, who is now the team leader of the national team. It's a pity that you are not yet the team leader of the national team." team members."

Chi Lang: "..."

This day, he was suddenly chatted to death by Gu Ran, and Chi Lang wanted to crawl over the phone's microphone and beat him up.

"Why are you so calm?"

Gu Ran said, "I guessed it."

"You guessed it?"

"The last time we came back from Amsterdam, I guessed what Director Song said at the meeting."

Gu Ran smiled and said: "Facts have proved that foreign monks are not necessarily good at reciting scriptures. Perhaps, our World Youth Championship is a test for Director Cheng and his coaching team. The results are not bad, and the following things will be logical. ?”

Chi Lang thought for a long time following his words, then slapped his thigh: "Why didn't I think of it?"

Gu Ran smirked: "Because you have well-developed limbs, you have not inherited my high IQ from my father at all."

Chi Lang scolded on the other end of the phone: "You bastard."

Gu Ran sneered across the phone: "Why, do you want me to take care of you again?"

Chi Lang said: "This is your responsibility."

Gu Ran smiled: "Let's forget about the old age, it's okay to send it to the end, the sooner the better."

Chi Lang was so angry by him, he yelled angrily on the other end of the phone: "Nizi, Nizi!!!"

Hearing Chi Lang run away on the phone, not to mention Gu Ran, Gao Ziyi who was sitting opposite him couldn't straighten up laughing.

A few days later, the new training list for the national team came out.Among the former national team members, three of the men's team have announced their retirement, and two have not been selected for this training list.

As a result, there were only two members left in the original team, and six new players were selected: Liu Fei, Ren Yongjie, Gao Ziyi, Meng Yuqiao, Chi Lang, and Gu Ran (15 years old).

Gu Ran also took a look at the roster of the women's team, and only joined two young players, Liang Kexin and Yang Shanshan.

In the end, Gu Ran's age was also noted in Gu Ran's name, Gu Ran was so boring, there was no age behind other people's names, only his.

When Gu Ran couldn't figure it out, he received a call from Xu Qing.When Director Xu came up, he asked, "Did you train well when I was not here?"

Gu Ran said, "Guess."

"Guess, I guess or not." Xu Qing's pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone, which made Gu Ran's hair stand on end.

He hurriedly confessed: "The final exam was a whole period of time, and I was a little slack. But now that the summer vacation is over, I resumed my usual training."

Xu Qing has no doubts about this, Gu Ran's self-discipline is really not comparable to that of ordinary children.

Xu Qing changed the subject: "Report on the 24th, tidy up the dormitory in the past two days, and go home to spend time with my parents."

Gu Ran was surprised and said, "Aren't you coming back?"

Xu Qing smiled over there: "Let's celebrate the New Year, there are a few days off for the New Year."

"Then..." Gu Ran didn't expect that he would have to live in Beijing after he left, "Then what should I do when I go to school?"

Xu Qing was annoyed by him: "Little Gu Ran, you have already been selected for the national team, why are you still thinking about going to school?"

"Of course I want to!" Gu Ran said, "What would I do if I don't study at my age?"

Xu Qing said: "You can still train hard and win glory for the country."

"Yes!" Gu Ran sat up straight involuntarily, "But going to school doesn't stop me from training hard and winning glory for the country."

"Then what should we do?" Xu Qing teased him, "You can stay in the provincial capital to go to school, I will discuss with Director Cheng, and it will be the same if another person is selected for the national team." He was about to hang up the phone.

"Oh~ wait a minute, wait a minute!" Gu Ran hurriedly stopped him, "Guide Xu, if you want to say that, I'll switch to figure skating."

Xu Qing said, "Go ahead and show them the water dispenser."

Gu Ran usually watches football, and knows that watching the drinking fountain refers to those substitute players who have been sitting on the bench all year round.

Xu Guidance's mouth was as damaged as ever.

Gu Ran said pitifully: "Director Xu, do you know how many points I scored in the final exam?"

Xu Qing asked: "How many points?"

"709."

Xu Qing didn't have much reaction after hearing this: "Oh, is 709 a high score?"

Gu Ran was drinking water, and almost spit out when she heard this: "Dare to ask, how much score did you get in the college entrance examination?"

Xu Qing said, "I have never taken the college entrance examination."

"..."

Gu Ran bit her lower lip and remained silent for a while, before finally saying reluctantly: "Then I will drop out of school..."

Xu Qing interrupted him: "You should still plan to transfer schools. I have already mentioned this matter to the leaders. Your grades are so good, and they still support you to go to school and train at the same time."

Gu Ran was almost scared to death by him: "Director Xu, you are going too far."

Xu Qing smiled on the other end of the phone: "I'm just joking with you, kid, you can't afford it, right?"

Gu Ran said: "There is an idiom that best describes you."

"Being old and disrespectful, you have already said that."

Gu Ran: "..."

Gu Ran later sent Wei Yuening a WeChat message: "I'm going to transfer school."

Wei Yuening said: "I guessed it. With your grades, you will definitely be able to enter the national team. Even if you don't transfer schools, you have little chance to go back to school."

Gu Ran sent him a smiling face: "Thank you Xueba for your point-to-point help this semester."

Wei Yuening also returned a smiling face: "The test papers in Beijing are not the same as ours. You still have to go back to the place where you are registered to take the college entrance examination."

Gu Ran asked: "Xueba, do you still plan to continue ganging together?"

"We can communicate more in studies." Then Wei Yuening sent a second sentence, "If you want to call me Xueba again, I will call you World Champion."

Gu Ran sent him a clasped expression: "Thank you at the same table!"

"You're welcome!"

Before going to Beijing, Gu Ran went home and told his parents about being selected for the national team.

"Really?" Gu Changfeng put his arms around his son's shoulders and rubbed his head vigorously, "Good boy, after two years of training, he has entered the national team."

Xu Mei still looked worried: "This trip will last half a year, and Mom won't see you for half a year."

Gu Ran rushed over to lean on Xu Mei's shoulder, hugged her arm and acted like a baby: "I video with you every night, okay?"

"That's a must!" Xu Mei patted his face, "You are so far away from your parents, you must take good care of yourself and don't get hurt, do you understand?"

Gu Ran nodded obediently: "Understood."

Although her son agreed so readily, Xu Mei was still worried: "Don't just say yes, keep it in your heart."

Gu Ran tilted her head and looked at her from the bottom up: "If you are afraid that I will forget, you can call me every day to remind me."

"Call me every day, and you'll find me annoying again."

Gu Ran said: "When did I think you were annoying, never."

Xu Mei said: "How about I go to Beijing with you and take care of you."

Gu Ran quickly waved her hand: "Don't, don't, look at my dad, he is young, rich, and handsome. As soon as you leave, the female secretary will take over."

Xu Mei tapped him on the head: "Little brat, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Gu Changfeng glared at his son: "Haven't you seen my secretary?"

Gu Ran remembered: "Aunt Zhang, my daughter is as old as me."

Although she couldn't go to Beijing to accompany her son, Xu Mei still wanted to send him there, but the tickets for the ice training center were all booked, and there was a staff member accompanying her.

So, the couple had to send their son to the high-speed rail station.

Gu Ran hadn't paid attention to who was the staff member who sent them there before. He was still wondering, didn't the three of them go to Shanghai last time by themselves, why did they send someone to send them off this time.

When I arrived at the high-speed rail station, I saw that this person was Fang Xiaoqi.

Liang Kexin was no less surprised than Gu Ran: "Sister Xiaoqi, you are going to Beijing with us."

Fang Xiaoqi shrugged: "Didn't your director Xu arrange this? He said that their team still needs a nutritionist."

Gu Ran asked: "Then you will stay with us in the national team?"

Fang Xiaoqi stretched out her index finger and shook it: "I will stay in the national team, but you don't have to. If you don't get good grades, you will be sent back to the provincial team."

She is so good at chatting, the three little ones sat across from each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, but they didn't dare to say anything.

When they arrived in Beijing, someone picked them up at the exit and sent them to the athletes' apartments near the skating hall.This is a small three-story building, and it looks like a building with a sense of age from a distance.A banner hangs directly above the gate: "To win glory for the motherland, for the nation, for the Olympics, and for life."

The first floor of this small building is the athlete's restaurant, the second floor is the short track speed skating team, and the third floor is the figure skating team. The two national teams usually train in the skating hall not far away.

The dormitory auntie is in her 50s and looks amiable. Seeing the enthusiasm of these young children, she led them upstairs one by one and took them to her room.

The room is small, with a bed, a desk, TV, wardrobe and separate bathroom.

Standing at the head of the bed, Gu Ran saw two post-it notes on it, which should have been left by the senior who lived in this room before.There is a line of Xin Qiji's words written on the board: "I think back then, the gold and iron horses swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger."

Gu Ran immediately thought of the second half: "Who should ask: Lian Po is old, can he still eat?"——he was hungry.

Gu Ran packed up her things, took out all the books she had brought and put them on the table, and called his mother to inform Mrs. Gu that everything was fine with their young master, so she could rest assured.After checking the time, he went out and was going to find Gao Ziyi downstairs for dinner.

As soon as he came out, he saw Chi Lang coming up from the downstairs carrying a big box. Gu Ran looked at him with his arms folded: "Yo, my silly son is here."

Chi Lang's hair was cut short again, almost sticking to his scalp. He was wearing a sleeveless T-shirt in summer, and he looked like a spirited guy.

He gave Gu Ran a blank look: "I don't know how to help."

Gu Ran bypassed him and walked to Liu Fei behind: "Brother, come, I will help you."

Chi Lang: "..."

Gu Ran teased him, and quickly helped him put the box down.Chi Lang's neck was full of sweat, complaining that Beijing was too hot this year, he had to take a shower quickly.

Gu Ran didn't wait for him, and went downstairs to have dinner with Gao Ziyi first.Although the uncles and aunts in the cafeteria didn't know them, there were no outsiders who came here to eat, and they were told to order what they wanted to eat, and they sat at the table wherever they wanted.

Gu Ran looked around, and was attracted by a dish of spicy chicken.

He seldom eats spicy food, but this one looked too tempting. He couldn't resist ordering one, another dumpling, stuffed with celery and beef, a big chicken drumstick and a bowl of soup.

So, Chi Lang came to the cafeteria after taking a shower, and what he saw was that Gu Ran was blushing, sitting there, panting, fanning his mouth with his hand.Gao Ziyi went to get a box of milk and handed it to him.

He hurriedly sat over and asked, "Hey, haven't you weaned yet?"

Gu Ran was speechless and just stared at him.

Chi Lang asked: "What did you eat, it's so spicy."

Gao Ziyi pointed to the bowl next to it, and said with a smile, "I couldn't resist the temptation, so I ordered a spicy chicken."

Chi Lang took a pair of chopsticks, brought the bowl to him, took a bite, and took another: "It tastes good, quite authentic."

Both Gu Ran and Gao Ziyi are pure northerners. They didn't eat spicy food very much since they were young, and they couldn't stand a little bit of spicy food.

But Chi Lang is also from the north, how can he...

Just as Gao Ziyi asked, "Aren't you spicy?" Chi Lang immediately stood up and ran all over the cafeteria looking for water.When he came back, his face was as red as a charizard.
