MTL - The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine-Chapter 59 reject
Before leaving Beijing, the team of the Binhai Provincial Team went to the Forbidden City and other places. In front of the Square, there were many hawkers with cameras waiting to take pictures of tourists.
Jane Chang thought about it.
"Shi'an, let's take a photo, it's my first time in Beijing, I want to keep it as a souvenir."
Qiao Yuchu and the others had already gone ahead.
Xie Shi'an put his hands in his pockets, with a somewhat impatient expression on his face.
"It's all asking for money. I can take pictures with my mobile phone for you."
Jian Changnian pulled him over.
"Oh, it's only ten yuan, I'll pay!"
It happened that Yan Xinyuan was also following behind, and Jian Changnian also pulled him over to join in the fun.
"Boss, give us one."
"okay."
It was too late to say it, but before Xie Shi'an could pose, the boss had already pressed the shutter.
When the photo was taken out, Yan Xinyuan was standing in the middle, embracing them from one left to the other. Both of them were smiling brightly, only Xie Shi'an had a tense expression on his face.
Jian Changnian gave the money, and he was so happy from ear to ear.
"I want this one."
"No, give me a retake."
Xie Shi'an stretched out his hand to **** it, but he had already run away, hiding behind Qiao Yuchu and making a face at her.
The whole afternoon was spent playing and fighting, and the group went to eat roast duck again, and it was already past eight o'clock in the evening when they returned to the apartment.
Jin Shunqi's car was parked at the entrance of the training center.
Xie Shi'an remembered the license plate number, and besides him, no one in the training center drove such a luxurious car.
Qiao Yuchu also stopped in her tracks.
Jin Shunqi got out of the car and waved at her.
"Yuchu."
Qiao Yuchu looked back at Xie Shi'an.
The young man lowered his head as a tacit consent.
"I'll go and I'll be right back, you go back first."
Qiao Yuchu comforted her and ran over in a hurry.
"Doctor Jin, what's the matter?"
Jin Shunqi sensitively noticed that her address had returned to the initial unfamiliarity, but in middle age, she also learned to keep her face.
"I think Nan Zhi has already returned to South Korea to start training. I think you are going back soon. I thought I'd treat you to a meal before leaving."
Qiao Yuchu smiled.
"Tomorrow's plane, I have already eaten."
Jin Shunqi was taken aback.
"so fast?"
"That's right, didn't you also say that the South Korean team is already preparing for the game? We also have to step up training."
"Then... can I buy you coffee?" Jin Shunqi opened the car door for her, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
"It's quite a long way from the international hospital, and the World Championships will not be held in Beijing. I don't know when the next meeting will be."
Seeing his sincere expression, Qiao Yuchu felt soft-hearted and nodded.
"okay then."
Watching the car gradually go away.
Jian Changnian called out a little: "Shi'an..."
Xie Shi'an then looked away.
"Let's go."
When they were about to leave, a group of people walked over, the leader was over forty, carrying a briefcase, it was Wan Jing.
"Brother."
Wan Jing greeted Yan Xinyuan first, and then turned his attention to Xie Shi'an.
Yan Xinyuan understood that this was to poach people. Looking at the battle, it is estimated that even the contract has been drawn up.
"That..." Wan Jing coughed lightly.
"My name is Wan Jing, and I am currently the head coach of the women's singles team of Guoyu. This is **** and xxx."
He then introduced a bunch of leaders, but Xie Shi'an didn't remember any of them, he shook hands with them lightly and then let go.
"Hello, Coach Wan, what can I do?"
Wan Jing glanced at the group of people behind her, especially avoiding Yan Xinyuan's sight.
"That's it. We want to discuss something with you. Let's go to the meeting room."
Xie Shi'an stood still.
"What can't be said here?"
Wan Jing simply didn't shy away from it.
"It's about this World Championship and your personal future development prospects."
Xie Shi'an glanced back at the old man, stepped back, and Yan Xinyuan patted her on the shoulder.
"Go, go and listen to it."
In the meeting room.
Xie Shi'an sat alone on one side, Wan Jing coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and opened his head first.
"That's right. In view of your excellent performance in the national competition, all the leaders have seen it for all. After discussing it, we decided to make an exception to admit you into the national team."
Next to him was a man in a suit and leather shoes.
"In the national team, there are also people as old as you, but they are all selected from the local upper class. They first train in the national youth team for a few years, and then they are in the second team. After some achievements, they can enter the national team. In the team, there are not many opportunities to be promoted beyond the rules, so you should cherish it."
The expression on Xie Shi'an's face was indifferent, and he didn't express anything at all.
Wan Jing followed the guidance again.
"Besides, if you join the national team, you don't need to select the quota for this World Championship. This World Championship is held in Shanghai. As the host country, the national team has a wild card quota for you. Think about it, think about it It is not easy to stand out from the hundreds of people in the provincial teams, and if one day the state is not good, it will be brushed off."
In the World Championships, representing the country, the number of places is limited, she can understand, but she can't understand the number of wild cards.
It turns out that as long as you join the national team, you will get a place. How unfair it would be to those who have dreams in their hearts and are selected through layers of selection.
Xie Shi'an's lips curled into a slight smile.
"Does this count as going through the back door?"
Another leader spoke again.
"Why do you go through the back door? Why are you talking so badly at such a young age? Didn't your coach teach you how to talk to the leader?"
Xie Shi'an leaned back on the chair, the corners of his lips softened, his face was a little cold, and he almost rolled his eyes.
Wan Jing came out to smooth things over.
"It's not a back door, it's our internal policy of cultivating outstanding talents."
"Also, when you join the national team, your salary and treatment must be much better than before. I heard that your family situation is quite special, so you should work harder, and don't waste this great time in vain."
Wan Jing took out the contract from his briefcase and handed it to her.
"We have already drawn up the contract. Are you satisfied with it? If you are not satisfied, the salary can be adjusted again. As far as I know, there are several companies that have taken a fancy to your popularity and image and want to sign you as a spokesperson. As long as you join the national team, business contracts can be signed immediately."
Xie Shi'an straightened up and took a look.
On the salary part of the contract, there was a number that she couldn't even imagine, not to mention a sky-high business endorsement invitation waiting for her.
Overnight fame and instant wealth are within easy reach.
There is no young man who will not be tempted.
Xie Shi'an was silent for a long time.
When everyone thought she would agree, Xie Shi'an pushed the piece of paper back bit by bit.
"Sorry, I still want to stay in the Coastal Province team, and I don't need anyone to let me through the back door, I will enter the World Championships by myself."
Although the young man's voice was soft, it was powerful.
All the leaders looked at each other in blank dismay, and they were wasting their efforts here, and finally someone couldn't help but lose their temper.
"I said, do you know how many people want to join the national team every year?! Xie Shi'an, we made an exception because you are young and talented. Don't be ignorant." Uplift!"
"Besides, what future do you have in the Coastal Province team?! You don't know why your head coach was sent down! Follow him, and something will happen sooner or later, and you won't have any good fruit to eat!"
As soon as the words fell, Xie Shi'an stood up with a jerk, staring at them with red eyes.
"I don't care what he is, he is my teacher! He is the one who took me step by step and brought the Coast Province team into the national competition!"
"I respect that you are also elders, so I let you three points, but if you dare to insult Coach Yan even a single word, don't blame me for being rude!"
In the silence of the room, the boy slammed the door and left.
For some reason, seeing her resolutely leaving back, Wan Jing actually remembered that line of poem:
Looking up to the sky and laughing, I went out, how can I be from Penghao? [1]
Integrity, strength of character, talent, hard work.
He smiled wryly in his heart.
Brother, you really have cultivated another good student.
***
In the cafe.
The waiter comes up with the menu.
"Hello sir, what would you like to drink?"
"A latte for this lady..."
Qiao Yuchu smiled and interrupted him.
"Eating too much meth at night will make you prone to insomnia, just give me a glass of lemonade."
Jin Shunzaki closed the menu.
"Well then, another piece of Black Forest cake."
"Okay, sir, just a moment, please."
After the waiter left, Jin Shunqi took out the gift he had prepared early in the morning, put it on the table, and pushed it to her.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you on winning the championship yet. This is a congratulatory gift for you. Quickly open it and see if you like it."
Qiao Yuchu opened the gift box, and it was an expensive watch.
Even if she doesn't pay much attention to luxury goods, she has seen them in TV commercials, limited editions and expensive.
Jin Shunqi put his mind to it, but considering the value of this watch, it is obviously inappropriate to give it to a friend.
Qiao Yuchu was pushed back again.
"Sorry, Doctor Jin, I can't accept it."
Jin Shunqi's expression was a little perplexed.
"Why can't you accept it? This is my wish. There is no rule that athletes can't wear jewelry."
Qiao Yuchu was silent for a while.
"Because the value of the gift has far exceeded our relationship so far, it is better for Dr. Jin to take it back."
Now that the words have come to this point, Jin Shunqi simply has a showdown.
"Then why can't it be further developed?" He leaned over slowly, seeing that Qiao Yuchu had no intention of resisting, he held her hand bit by bit, and said affectionately.
"To tell you the truth, from the first time I saw you, I thought you were very special. Although I have been in a few relationships before, but no one is like you. I’m happy just looking at you, but I don’t just want to have a relationship with you, I want to establish a long-term and stable relationship with you, to be each other’s reliance and cornerstone, and to slowly go through the rest of the journey of my life.”
"These words have been held in my heart for a long time. I wanted to tell you my thoughts later, but I was afraid that there would be no chance to meet again in the future. Moreover, Yuchu has been a little lukewarm towards me recently. I have some Worry about gains and losses."
Since the last time he sent Nan Zhi back to China to meet him, Qiao Yuchu's attitude towards him suddenly became cold, and he didn't even reply to the news very much.
Jin Shunqi smiled wryly, and looked into her eyes sincerely.
"It's strange. I'm a thirty-five-year-old man, but I'm starting to worry about gains and losses. Yuchu, I like you. Are you willing to give me a chance to develop further with you?"
The melodious sound of the piano floated in the coffee shop, and Qiao Yuchu's long silence answered him.
Jin Shunqi is gentle, affectionate, handsome in appearance, considerate and humble in personality, responsible for his work, and has a good family background.
Such a person is probably the prince charming in every girl's heart. Qiao Yuchu admitted that she was a little tempted when she got along with him.
only…
Thinking of Shi'an, she bit her lower lip tightly, and slowly pulled her hand away from his palm.
"Sorry, but I guess we should just be friends."
Jin Shunqi's face was a bit disappointed, and he managed to pull himself together and smiled.
"Is it because of me that dissatisfied Ms. Qiao? If you mind my nationality, we can also settle in China in the future and won't let you stay away from your hometown, as well as my parents. They are very open-minded, won't you agree."
"As for age, I really can't do anything about it, but I think I may have an advantage over your peers in that I am more mature, considerate, more family-oriented, and have the confidence and ability to give you a better life .”
Seeing him like this, Qiao Yuchu felt a dull pain in his heart, his nose felt sore for no reason, and he regained his composure.
"No, it has nothing to do with external factors such as nationality and age. Doctor Jin, you are already very good, very good, I am not good enough for you, I am just an ordinary badminton player, even though my parents are also urging marriage , but I still want to stick to my dream."
"Be Qiao Yuchu, not someone's wife."
Qiao Yuchu sniffed, with a smile on her lips, and finished speaking firmly and seriously.
Jin Shunqi was taken aback, admiring her courage and magnanimity, but it also confirmed a vague guess in his heart.
"Is it because of your...sister?"
Qiao Yuchu pursed her lips tightly and confessed to him anyway.
"Part of the reason is that she is very dependent on me, and I can't leave her to marry alone. No husband can accept an extra sister who is not related by blood for no reason, even Dr. Jin. .”
Jin Shunqi was silent, Qiao Yuchu stood up, with tears in his eyes, and said goodbye to him with a smile.
"Then...thank you Dr. Jin for taking care of me these days. Let's meet again."
Jin Shunqi got up and stopped her.
"Yuchu."
Qiao Yuchu turned around.
The man looked at her and asked.
"Although the operation on the wrist has been successful, remember to check it every three months, or...you can come to me."
"Although the game is important, you still have to pay attention to your body. I sincerely wish you can go further and further on the road to your dream."
"Also, we're still friends, right?"
Jin Shunqi opened his arms, with a gentle smile on his lips, but the corners of his eyes were red.
"Then as a friend, can you give me a polite hug to say goodbye?"
With red eyes at the beginning, Qiao Yu gently hugged him.
***
Xie Shi'an returned to the apartment, Jian Changnian was still standing downstairs.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, frowning.
Jian Changnian rubbed her frozen hands, her nose was red.
"Well... I... I just came down and I'm going to the convenience store, will you go?"
"That's right, let's go." Xie Shi'an raised his foot and walked in front.
Jian Changnian followed two steps, still curious.
"Well, they called you in, what did they say?"
The convenience store is full of warmth, Xie Shi'an said while picking snacks from the shelves.
"If you say that I am promoted to the first team of the national team, I don't have to play in the trials for next year's World Championships, and I will directly lock in a wild card spot."
There are so many foods on the shelves, Jian Changnian didn't even look at them, just walked around her.
"You promised them?!"
Xie Shi'an glanced at her from the gap in the shelf.
"That's the national team, and there are sky-high salary and business endorsement invitations waiting for me. If it's you, you will agree."
Just hearing the words "salary" and "business", Jian Changnian's eyes flashed stars, and he nodded in a daze.
"That's true."
But after a while, she wanted to bite off her tongue again.
"Bah, bah, what is it, Xie Shi'an, you won't really agree, will you?!"
Xie Shi'an paid the money and left with a plastic bag.
"Didn't you say it too? I have no reason not to agree."
Jian Changnian chased her back and shouted.
"Xie Shi'an, I really misjudged you! Coach Yan likes you so much! When you play games, he stays with you all night long. When your clothes are torn, he sews them for you with his own hands. He poured his heart and soul into you. , much more than me!"
"And me and Sister Yuchu, we have come all the way, how difficult it is, just won the team championship, you are going to abandon us and the big family of the Binhai Provincial Team for money?!"
The boy roared with red eyes, shaking off the snow on the pine branches, and even the air was silent for a second or two.
People passing by looked at her in surprise.
Xie Shi'an turned around with a teasing smile on his lips.
Jian Changnian sniffed and said in a stuttering manner.
"Look... what are you looking at... I haven't seen anyone cry..."
The boy looked at her with an increasingly playful expression, and there was still a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"Why do you believe everything I say?"
"Eh?" Jian Changnian's brain froze for a moment.
After a while, she finally came to her senses, picked up a large handful of snow from the ground beside her, and smashed it into a ball.
"Wow you! Teased me again, Xie Shi'an stop! Don't run! Give me a punch!!"
The icy snow particles fell into his neck, Xie Shi'an trembled all over, not to be outdone, he rolled up the snowball from the ground and threw it back.
The two laughed and chatted, and played for a long time in the open space in front of the apartment, until they were exhausted, and both of them lay down in the snow.
Snowflakes fell on the pine branches again.
Xie Shi'an looked up and could see the lights of the apartment. The night sky in Beijing tonight was actually studded with stars.
Jian Chang Nian put her hands on her head.
"Shi'an, look, there are stars tonight."
Xie Shi'an gave a faint "hmm".
Jian Changnian turned her head to look at her, her eyes were as bright as stars.
"It's good to be like this now. With you, Coach Yan, Sister Yuchu, and the brothers and sisters of the Binhai Provincial Team, I really hope that everyone can always, always be together."
"How can anyone stay together forever?" Xie Shi'an sneered.
Jian Changnian stretched out her hand and pointed to the stars in the night sky.
"Yes, I have learned in textbooks that a star only evolves once in billions of years. You see, that star is you, that star is me, that star is Coach Yan, and that star is Miss Yuchu. We have to be like Like the stars, they have always been together and will never be apart."
Xie Shi'an raised his eyes, followed her example, stretched out his hand, and framed the stars together with his fingers. When he squinted, a meteor streaked across the sky.
The future is as within reach as the stars.
The boy finally smiled brightly.
