Chapter 225 Ignite
"It's so scary! I've known each other for so long, but it's only until today that I discovered your evil nature hidden deep in my heart!" Looking at Zhang Lin's sinister and proud look, Wu Peng immediately showed a "fear of fear" expression, grabbed the clothes on his chest tightly with his hands, and tried his best to stay away from the "demon" in front of him, for fear that he would be targeted too.
"Well! This is indeed the fastest and most effective method. Although it looks a bit despicable and insidious, I like it, hehe!" Ouyang Kunpeng, who was sitting beside him, looked at Zhang Lin with admiration, obviously very much in agreement with this shameless method. The laughter in his mouth also made people stand upright.
"Oh my God! Another guy who has been defiled by a demon, what kind of people do I have with?" Seeing Zhang Lin and Ouyang Kunpeng colluded, Comrade Wu Peng, who was "pure" in his heart, couldn't help but wail, and observed a minute of silence for Li Tian, who was far away in Germany, who knew nothing about the upcoming "conspiracy".
The two taxis quickly arrived at the Qianmen Store "Quanjude" together, and paid the car money respectively. Zhang Lin, Ke Fan and other five people walked into this time-honored brand in Beijing with a history of more than 140 years.
If you are from Beijing, then you cannot not know the name "Quanjude". If you are a food lover, then you will never have heard of the deliciousness of "Quanjude" roast duck. As one of the representatives of Beijing's famous food, the gold sign "Quanjude" has a reputation all over the country and abroad. According to relevant information, its brand value alone is over 10 billion yuan. The "qian store" that Zhang Lin and others came to is the origin of "Quanjude". Although it has been a hundred years, this store still maintains a simple and elegant style, and the design of the "old shop" allows you to appreciate the flavor of "Old Beijing".
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wu, Mr. Ouyang welcomes you, but you haven't come sometime!" Zhang Lin and the other three are old customers of this store. They were recognized by the manager here as soon as they were led into the gate by Miss Yingbin.
"Hello, Manager Qian! I've been busy preparing for the competition during this period, and I went to Germany a few days ago. No, we just got off the plane and headed straight to you. There is still a location. We won't be able to eat roast duck today, but we won't leave." Zhang Lin and others were also old acquaintances with Manager Qian, and they were very enthusiastic when greeting him.
"Don't worry, there is still a private room in the Four Seasons Hall now, I'll ask someone to take you in immediately!" Zhang Lin and others in China are also well-known figures, so of course it is not convenient to "show off" in the hall, so every time they come here for dinner, Manager Qian would specially arrange for them to go to the private room. Soon the five people entered the Yuelu Pavilion in the Four Seasons Hall, and after the guests and guests sat down, they opened up the conversation.
"Reporter Ke, you can ask any questions you have today. The three of us will tell you everything, and we can't say it all." Zhang Lin's words surprised and happy Ke Fan and Xiao Zhou, and they couldn't help but wonder if they had bumped into Fuxing today. Not only could they interview Zhang Lin and others smoothly, but the interviewees were also surprisingly "generous". Such a good thing has never been encountered in their career as a reporter.
"So tell me how you and Li Tian met! He is a professional track and field athlete, and you are professional swimmers, and there seems to be no intersection." Ke Fan opened the recording pen he carried with him.
"We have not known each other for a long time, and we only met by chance." Zhang Lin said leisurely after taking a sip of hot tea.
"That was before the last World Youth Track and Field Championships. Li Tian had gone to our swimming team training center for physical training. That day, all our swimming team members went abroad to participate in the competition. Only Wu Peng and I stayed in China due to injuries, and then went to the training center together because of boredom. There, we happened to meet Li Tian who was training." So Zhang Lin explained in detail the situation when we met Li Tian.
"Did you mean that Li Tian had a high swimming level when he met you just now?" Ke Fan asked at the right time.
"Of course, although his technical movements were not very reasonable at the time, his physical coordination and physical fitness were definitely no less than that of professional swimmers like us. If we were to compete in a 2,000-meter ultra-long distance competition, I would not have the confidence to win him at that time." Hearing Zhang Lin and others praised Li Tian's swimming level, Ke Fan also became excited. Who are Zhang Lin, Wu Peng, and Ouyang Kunpeng? These are all over the top figures in the Asian swimming world. One-half of the swimming records in China are maintained by the three people in front of us, and one-quarter of the Asian records are tightly held in their hands. The ability to be recognized by the three masters is not ordinary, and this "secret" is definitely popular with readers.
"So let's talk about your trip to Cologne this time! I saw some news on the Internet that Li Tian won the championship in the academy swimming competition. Did you make a special trip to watch Li Tian's swimming competition this time? Why didn't Li Tian participate in the track and field competition instead? What is the specific process of the competition? And what level has Li Tian reached at the current swimming level?" Ke Fan was able to find this on the Internet, and only knew the general situation of the vague situation, but the various results and data parameters of the specific competition were not clear. Zhang Lin and others who had watched the competition with their own eyes were undoubtedly the best inquiry objects, so they raised a series of questions.
"Reporter Ke, how much do you know about the student sports meeting of the Cologne Sports College and the sports level of students?" Zhang Lin did not directly answer Ke Fan's question, but asked back.
"I don't know much about this...but I think Cologne Sports Academy, as a world-famous sports institution, shouldn't be low." Ke Fan thought for a while and replied.
"It's not that 'not low', but very high! This time we went to Cologne, the total number of us was eye-opening. The sports meeting of the Cologne Sports Academy does not allow professional players to participate in the competitions of the events they are engaged in, so Li Tian had to choose swimming as his participation. Although this way, those who participated in all competitions were all amateur players, their level was still very considerable. Take the swimming events that Li Tian participated in for example. The level reflected in the competition will definitely not be worse than some of our domestic professional competitions. Some of the results created in the competition can even be in the top three in our '10th Games'. Li Tian was able to win the championship in this level of swimming competition. It is conceivable how strong he is now!" Although Zhang Lin's words sounded very plain, there were storms in the hearts of Ke Fan and Xiao Zhou.
"We can tell you without exaggeration that Li Tian's current swimming level is definitely the top level in China. If he is given more time to train and accumulate more experience in international competitions, then I firmly believe that his future achievements in swimming events are no less than the glory he created in the track and field!" Ouyang Kunpeng next to him promised confidently.
"I am very much looking forward to seeing the scenery of Xiaotian when he swept the international field and world swimming in the future." Wu Peng's words also revealed his absolute confidence in Li Tian.
"That's it, that's it! What I want is this!" Ke Fan shouted excitedly. As the youngest and most promising world youth champion in the history of world track and field, he also has the level of an excellent professional player in swimming. The three leading Chinese swimming figures even asserted that he can challenge the highest peak in the world swimming in the future. What news can be more sensational than this?
"Reporter Ke, do you believe that a rookie can become a phoenix in three days? We all believe that because we have experienced it personally. To be honest, it was a heavy blow. Xiaotian is indeed the most talented swimmer we have ever met. It is a very terrible thing to integrate what we teach in just three days and use it reasonably in formal competitions. In the past, several of us have been touted by domestic media as geniuses in the Chinese swimming world, but after meeting Xiaotian, we realized that we can only be considered talents at most." Zhang Lin then told in detail about their helping Li Tian conduct swimming training, and the two reporters sitting opposite were stunned. In just three days, Li Tian improved his swimming level from a layman to the level of players like Zhang Lin. Ke Fan was simply wondering whether he was listening to a myth.
As the food was set on the table, Zhang Lin and others ate and talked, and they added fuel to the content from time to time. This made Ke Fan and Xiao Zhou still feel like they were in the mood to have a meal. They were now full of the amazing information they had heard from Zhang Lin and the others just now, thinking about what kind of content should be arranged on the front page of the newspaper "Sports Times" tomorrow. Halfway through the meal, Ke Fan could no longer sit still. After rushing to Zhang Lin and others for guilt, he immediately pulled Xiao Zhou back to the newspaper headquarters. They wanted to write the article as soon as possible and confirm the layout with the boss, for fear that if the news leaked, their exclusive news would be snatched away by their competitors.
"Our work has been completed. The next thing depends on how big the reporter Ke can burn this fire. I hope his ability will not disappoint us." Zhang Lin said with a smile as he looked at Ke Fan and Xiao Zhou leaving hurriedly.
