Chapter 167 Special Invitation Letter

Chapter 167 Special invitation letter

Xu Hongtao's car slowly drove into the training base of the National Youth Team after half an hour. After the World Youth Championship, it became a little deserted. Some of his teammates had already rushed back to the sports teams of their respective provinces and cities, and also took the opportunity to go home and reunite with their relatives for a few days. After all, since the pre-match training began, they have not been home for a long time. In the past few days after the competition, Li Tian still stayed in his original dormitory, because if he stayed in a hotel outside, there would definitely be reporters waiting outside at all times. After the full closure of the place, outsiders could not come in at all, and Li Tian was given a quiet resting environment every night.

The car drove downstairs of Li Tian's dormitory building before stopping. Looking at Li Tian who was sleeping soundly on the seat, Xu Hongtao wanted to wake him up several times, but he always wanted to open his mouth but he held it in time. He has been following Li Tian for the past few days. As a social expert in socializing, he felt overwhelmed and overwhelmed when dealing with waves of socializing coming like a tide, not to mention that Li Tian, ​​a sixteen-year-old boy who has no experience in socializing at all.

In mid-May, the temperature in Beijing was relatively warmer. Xu Hongtao gave up the idea of ​​waking up Li Tian immediately. After opening the car window, he took out a packet of soft China from his arms, skillfully pulled out one and put it in his mouth. A small golden lighter tied a beautiful hand flower between his fingers and lit the cigarette. The index finger and middle finger of his right hand slightly clamped the cigarette mouth and took a deep breath. Five seconds later, white smoke sprayed out from his mouth and nose. Of course, in order not to affect Li Tian who was sleeping, all the white mist was aimed at the car window, gradually dissipating in the dark night. The nicotine in the cigarette made Xu Hongtao's originally somewhat confused head gradually wake up, making him seriously consider what had happened in the past few days.

Li Tian’s fame in China can only be described as the most prosperous, as if he was a freshly released commodity, becoming a common goal pursued by various organizations, enterprises and news media. Although this has a great driving force on Li Tian’s influence and his own value, everything has two sides. Things that are beneficial but not harmful can only appear in people’s fantasies. Li Tian should first be a professional athlete, and then a star. And unlike those so-called “idol stars” who are praised by just relying on a beautiful face or behind-the-scenes transaction, as a real sports star, outstanding personal strength and outstanding competition results are the most important weight to ensure his popularity and his own value. Without results, everything is false.

I believe that no one will doubt Li Tian's personal strength after this World Youth Championship. Not only did he win four personal gold medals in the World Youth Championship record, but the final results of each event were super first-class. However, this is not the key to competing for him in all aspects. The age of sixteen, which is extremely enviable, is his greatest life capital. Youth has an unlimited future. There is a huge appreciation space in Li Tian, ​​which is a consensus among everyone. However, even if you have strong personal strength, it cannot guarantee that you will achieve good results.

, whether he can adjust his state to the best during the competition is also the key to the final victory or defeat. However, judging from the current society's excessive attention to Li Tian, ​​he would not be able to adjust his state, even the most basic normal rest cannot be guaranteed. Liu Xiang's social gatherings after winning the Olympics made his performance decline for a period of time, which is a lesson from the past. If it weren't for the timely remedy later, the consequences would be unimaginable. Now Li Tian must not be allowed to make such a mistake again. But what should he do? Various ideas kept surging in Xu Hongtao's mind.

"After all, China's current environment is not suitable for the growth of celebrities!" Chinese sports fans have been waiting for too long, so whenever a hope appears, they always put too many responsibilities to him that he shouldn't have assumed, and when he can no longer bear these responsibilities, this hope is extinguished. The trees are in the forest, and the wind will destroy them; the piles are on the shore, and the current will rush them; the movement is higher than people, and the public will refute them. Now Li Tian is standing at the forefront of the storm, and Xu Hongtao dare not imagine what the situation Li Tian will face after losing on the field.

"Since some things cannot be controlled by myself, I will relieve Xiaotian of this pressure as much as possible!" After smoking the last cigarette, Xu Hongtao turned on the lights in the car and took out a large stack of colorful invitation letters from the locker in the car, which were dozens of letters. This was received by his assistant in the Beijing office today. The invitations were Li Tian, ​​the newly released World Youth Championship champion. Xu Hongtao carefully read these invitations under the lights that were not bright. Which invitations were irrelevant, which invitations were worthy of attention, and which invitations were also necessary to attend. He carefully classified them one by one, and he had made up his mind that Li Tian would only attend one or two of these invitations in the future, and he would handle them alone, so that Xiaotian could have a more rest.

"The Press and Publication Bureau, the Market Development Department of the Beijing Olympic Committee, the Publicity Department of the Olympic Committee..." Xu Hongtao's many invitation letters were separated one by one, and only the last one was left in an hour. However, this one seemed a bit unique. The cover of the previous invitation letter was designed quite exquisitely, and the contents were printed on the computer, while the cover of this one seemed very simple. There was only a group of rubbing-like patterns on the apricot yellow background. When Xu Hongtao opened the invitation letter, the contents in it aroused his interest. This was actually an invitation letter to celebrate his birthday, and the writing was even more amazing. The handwritten brush and running script were vigorous and free. Xu Hongtao, who himself loved calligraphy, could see the profound calligraphy skills of the person who wrote.

"Ah...!" When Xu Hongtao saw the name of the invitation at the last signing place, his hands holding the invitation letter trembled suddenly, and his eyes staring at the name were wide open in disbelief, which made him scream involuntarily. Unexpectedly, such a big man would actually invite Li Tian in person, and he couldn't guess why Li Tian was invited.

"Well...!" Due to Xu Hongtao's scream, Li Tian, ​​who was originally sleeping, was also awakened by the screams. He yawned and stretched his waist long. After sleeping in the car for more than an hour, his spirit has improved a lot now and he has even woken up from drinking.

"Ah! Brother Xu is so sorry. I fell asleep in a daze. You have been waiting for a long time!" Li Tian looked at the electronic watch in the car. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

"It's okay, I just waited for a few cigarettes, so I took this time to think about something. Let's get out of the car, I'll take you up." Both of them pushed open the car door and walked down.

"Boss! You're back!" Chen Qiannan, who had just opened the door of the dormitory and was lying on the bed watching the TV series bored, stood up and ran up to take the things from Li Tian. He attended so many occasions, and brought back a lot of gifts and commemorative gifts.

"Well! Boss, are you drinking again?" Although Li Tian had rested for a long time, his steps were still a little unstable, and there was a smell of alcohol in his mouth. Chen Qinan could tell at a glance.

"There's no choice, I'll drink a little!" Li Tian looked at his friend in the same dormitory and smiled helplessly.

"By the way, do you have any instant noodles? Give me another pack." At this time, Li Tian's stomach suddenly sounded a few times, and he felt that his stomach was empty now.

"Why didn't you eat again?" Chen Qinan remembered that Li Tian was going to attend a banquet for dinner, and there shouldn't be no food there.

"He! I ate so little food on the dining table, but I finally vomited all of them. Why don't I buy you a late-night snack immediately?" Xu Hongtao asked.

"No need, it's already so late now. I'll just eat a bun of instant noodles." Li Tian quickly stopped him. He also knew that Xu Hongtao was also exhausted today and did not want him to run around for him anymore. Last night, he ate the first pack of instant noodles in his life. If it weren't for being hungry, he would have refused to eat this completely unnutritious food. It seems that he would have to have a second pack today.

"I'm not allowed to instant noodles. Fortunately, I was more careful when I was having dinner, just because I was worried that you would come back hungry like last night. Wait a minute, and there will be something to eat soon!" Chen Qinan said, picking up his cell phone and dialing a phone number. Since the end of the World Youth Championship, the information blockade in the team has been cancelled, and the communication tools such as mobile phones have returned to the hands of the players.

"Dong, dong..." About fifteen minutes later, a knock on the door outside the dormitory sounded.

"Here, here!" Chen Qinan immediately rushed forward and opened the door and welcomed the people outside.

"The midnight snack is coming!" At this time, a man wearing a white coat and holding a large tray in his hand walked in.

"Master Wang!" Li Tian was surprised to find that the person coming was actually the chef of the restaurant, Master Wang.

"Xiaotian is hungry! Come here, we keep the dinner prepared for you tonight!" Master Wang put the tray on the table, lifted the cover on it, and a strong fragrance immediately popped out, filling the room in an instant.

"Wow!" Looking at the rich and delicious food on the table, Li Tian shouted like a cheer and rushed towards the food. Now in Li Tian's eyes, the delicious food on the table is more attractive than the gold medal.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly... how does it taste?" Seeing Li Tian swallowing voraciously, Master Wang showed a happy smile on his face.

"It's delicious...so delicious...it's simply delicious!" Li Tian said while stuffing something into his mouth.

"By the way, Master Wang, aren't you off work? Why are you still here?" Li Tian suddenly remembered that it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and the restaurant should have gotten off work long ago, so where did these foods come from?

"During the day today, I told Master Wang about your hungry coming back last night. He was afraid that you would also go hungry tonight, so he specially made your dinner and put it in the insulated stove. He had to wait for you to come back before he was willing to get off work. Sure enough, you came back hungry again today." Chen Qiannan explained.

"...Thank you Master Wang!" Hearing the friend's explanation, Li Tian couldn't help but feel a sudden stagnation, stood up and thanked Master Wang sincerely.

"It's nothing, it's no big deal. You young children are trying their best to help us Chinese and China win honor. Isn't this a contribution to society?" Master Wang joked without caring.

In just ten minutes, the food in the tray was swept away by Li Tian. The speed was as amazing as his performance in the 100-meter race. After eating, he took a cup of hot tea handed over by Chen Qiannan. The fatigue and discomfort on his body seemed to disappear all of a sudden, and an expression of satisfaction appeared on his face.

"Xiaotian, you can't eat those garbage instant noodles anymore, and you can't always be hungry. Work is important, but your body cannot ignore it! If you feel hungry, call me and I'll prepare it for you immediately to send it to you." After Master Wang gave Li Tian some advice, he packed up the tableware and said goodbye to everyone and left.

"Xiaotian, you can rest here during the day tomorrow. You have never had a rest since the World Youth Championship. I will reject all the insignificant invitations for you, and don't worry about some important social events and banquets. I will attend all of them. As long as you have enough energy, you can attend this in the evening." Xu Hongtao handed the special invitation letter he just saw to Li Tian.

"Ah! Is this really OK? I remember several invitations issued by the organization department of the Beijing Olympic Committee. If I don't go..." To be honest, Li Tian was already very disgusted with these invitations. His physical fatigue was second-hand. He was wearing a mask and constantly dealing with officials of all sizes and big and small, and flattering and pleasing business businesses one by one. He never felt that his heart was so tired.

"Okay, of course, as long as you have this invitation in your hand, it is equivalent to holding a Shangfang sword in your hand. Even if you don't attend other invitations, no one dares to blame you." Xu Hongtao knew very well how much energy the name on this invitation represents, and how many people in China dared not give him face.

"Is this invitation so powerful?" Li Tian opened the ancient invitation letter curiously and looked at it carefully.
