I am in a world where time stands still

Chapter 115 Champion Experience
6:[-] p.m., Rongcheng Sports Center.

Nearly [-] spectators gathered here, bringing the atmosphere of Rongcheng Sports Center to a climax.

The awards ceremony for the Rongcheng International Marathon Invitational will be held here soon.

The highlight of today!

Xiao Fan is sitting in the VIP seat at the moment, waiting for the glorious moment of getting on the podium to receive the gold medal.

On his left and right sides, Luo Chang and Tu Junfei were sitting respectively.

No.2 and No.3 of this contest.

At this moment, the faces of these two people have different colors.

Tu Junfei smiled and looked at the lively auditorium and the brightly lit podium with interest.

Although ranked third, today's result is his second best result of the year, only less than 1 minute slower than his victory at the Imperial Capital Marathon International Invitational Race earlier this year.

For Tu Junfei, he is already very satisfied with today's results.

After all, he is still very young, among the professional athletes, he is almost the youngest group.

Being able to win consecutive top three places in important international invitational tournaments in the same year is enough to prove Tu Junfei's strength and will also bring him generous bonuses.

After adjusting his condition, he will also become a strong contender for the championship in the following international competitions!
Tu Junfei's attitude is really good.

Very sensible!
And confident at the same time.

In contrast, Luo Chang is quite different.

His face was as cold as ice, without the slightest smile.

No one knew what kind of blow it was to him when he was overtaken by Xiao Fan at the last moment.

Luo Chang was extremely frustrated and almost didn't want to come to this award ceremony.

But in the end, he was still reluctant to get the No.2 result.

Even though I was disappointed and didn't want to queue up behind Xiao Fan to receive the award, I still came in the end.

Actually, Luo Chang didn't have to be so depressed.

He is only a player in the college student group, but he won No.2 in the entire competition, which is already an extraordinary performance.

If such achievements were placed on other people, everyone would be so happy.

But Luo Chang couldn't be happy. He lost to the person he was afraid of from the beginning, Xiao Fan.

And with the finish line just around the corner.

Especially since he knew that Xiao Fan was not a professional athlete, this was a devastating blow to him.

Bang!
Fireworks bloomed in the sky above the venue, and all the lights drew beautiful arcs around the sports center.

The exciting music sounded and the award ceremony officially began.

Xiao Fan heard the host say his name excitedly.

Immediately afterwards, the host began to give a brief introduction to him, the champion of this competition.

In fact, the host wanted to say more.

However, the information in his hands was too little.

It's no wonder that basically no one knew Xiao Fan's information.

Because before this, no one even thought that Xiao Fan would win the championship.

Therefore, even such a few brief introductions were urgently asked by Xiao Fan before the awards ceremony.

Xiao Fan stood up with a smile amidst the cheers of the audience.

In an instant, more than a dozen dazzling follow-up lights focused on him.

Looking far away, he seemed to be receiving the attention and admiration of the entire audience.

Xiao Fan suddenly felt that this feeling was really good!
Everyone's attention!

The feeling that all attention is focused on yourself at this moment.

He used to think otherwise.

But now, when he really experienced it, he realized that this much-anticipated experience is really addictive.

The light of more than a dozen follow-up lights made Xiao Fan extremely dazzling.

But at the same time, the two people beside him, Luo Chang and Tu Junfei, seem to have fallen into darkness in contrast.

People can't see their faces instead, only dark silhouettes remain.

Xiao Fan suddenly understood a truth.

I also understand why Luo Chang hates him so much.

Many times, people don't pay attention to the top three.

They only focus on the championship.

……

Another piece of more uplifting music played.

Xiao Fan and the other two had already stood in front of the podium, and were about to take the stage to accept the glory.

The host began to introduce more enthusiastically to the guests who presented medals to the champion, runner-up and third place.

"The guests who presented the medals for this competition are: Mr. Zhong Guixue, a senior official of Shuzhou Province; and Mr. Qian Yongji, the exclusive sponsor of this competition, the chairman of Kangqian Mining."

"Now, let me invite the winner of this competition, Xiao Fan!"

"We have invited guests to present medals and prizes to Xiao Fan!"

The volume of the exciting music is amplified, further emphasizing the grand and cheerful atmosphere.

Xiao Fan was infected by the atmosphere and felt extremely comfortable.

He stepped forward and walked to the high podium.

Suddenly stunned.

It turned out that he hadn't thought about it, how should he get on the championship podium?
No way, not so long ago, he was someone who had nothing to do with marathons or competitive sports.

And now, he has transformed himself into the champion of an important international marathon event.

This kind of identity change is really too fast.

So, how should you stand on the high podium of the champion?
He hadn't thought about it at all before.

However, the lights, gazes, music, and fireworks in the audience were all excited for him, and Xiao Fan was ashamed to delay this grand moment.

Well, stop dawdling.

Simply, jumping on the spot, Xiao Fan jumped directly onto the championship podium!

Haha, it feels good!
Just how do you feel that this action doesn't seem to be my original creation?
Two middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes walked up to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan looked at the two award presenters politely.

He knew that he would receive heavy gold medals and exquisite gifts from both of them.

Standing so high, he still hopes to express his gratitude and respect to the two award presenters.

However, Xiao Fan was slightly stunned again.

These two guests, no matter how you feel, they all look familiar...

As if you've seen it before?
how to say?

Xiao Fan recalled subconsciously, trying to find relevant things and people in his mind.

Senior official of Shuzhou Province?Have you seen it while watching TV before?
This is possible, after all, there are still a lot of high-ranking officials on TV news.

But I can't remember exactly when, or whether I saw it or not.

But the other one, the chairman of Kangqian Mining?
Oh!
correct.

Xiao Fan remembered it quickly.

Kanggan Mining!
Isn't this Qian Kangle's company?
I heard Xiaomin say it before, this Kangqian Mining is not an ordinary company, it's a local tyrant.

It is said that many super large mines of non-ferrous metals and iron ore in the country belong to their family.

Oh, this is the chairman of Kangqian Mining, also surnamed Qian.

By the way, I know why it looks familiar.

This looks a lot like Qian Kangle!
Can't run away, it should be Qian Kangle's father.

Xiao Fan sighed twice.

It seems that this mining company is indeed rich, and it exclusively sponsors this International Marathon Invitational.

In fact, how much does the mining company have to do with sports?
It shouldn't be necessary to expand the business by sponsoring sports events, especially marathons.

It seems that this should be the so-called most mysterious "corporate culture"...

Senior officials of Zhong Guixue came over first and put on the gold medal for Xiao Fan.

After putting it on, the senior official Zhong patted Xiao Fan's shoulder affectionately.

"Young man, I heard that you are still a graduate student of Shuzhou University? It's not easy, it's good to develop in an all-round way! Hahaha..."

Xiao Fan was slightly taken aback, but immediately smiled and nodded to Gaoguan Zhong, "Thank you for your encouragement!"

Xiao Fan was sincere. After all, the senior official had done his homework and knew that he was from Shuzhou University.

Xiao Fan was very happy and thanked the senior official repeatedly for the award.

Later, Qian Yongji also came forward and presented him with a commemorative prize for this competition.

Xiao Fan also took it with humble hands.

Hey!
Quite heavy!
Because he was not mentally prepared, Xiao Fan's hand felt heavy.

Things almost fell out of my hand.

"Haha, young man, be careful, hold on tight!" Qian Yongji said to Xiao Fan with a smile, "This is a pure gold running shoe. We only prepared one for the champion. It is an encouragement to you. If you smash it , we are not responsible for making up, haha..."

Forehead!
A few drops of sweat flowed from Xiao Fan's forehead.

Is Nima so wealthy?
I know that your mining company is rich, but I really don't know how rich it is...

Xiao Fan secretly admired him and finally looked at Qian Kangle with admiration.

From this point of view, Qian Kangle can be regarded as a model of self-improvement.

Even though there is a mine at home, they still go out to work by themselves to support themselves.

Relying on my hardworking hands, coding codes, and earning money with my own sweat.

Well, Qian Kangle, I admire you too!

"Do I need to pay tax if I get these pure gold running shoes?" Xiao Fan suddenly asked an unconventional question.

The smiling Qian Yongji was stunned for a moment, probably because he was really unprepared for this question.

After several seconds, he finally laughed again, "Why don't I ask our CFO to call you later? Let him explain to you..."

Xiao Fan smiled, quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I'm just joking, I don't dare bother you and your CFO..."

"Hahaha, young man is really interesting, welcome to visit our company in the future!" Qian Yongji said happily: "By the way, my son is also working in the company next to your Shuzhou University..."

Xiao Fan nodded.

Yes, this one has done his homework too.

"Okay, thank you." Xiao Fan nodded, "It should be Qian Kangle, right? We know each other..."

"Really?!" Qian Yongji was a little surprised, and then showed a satisfied smile, "I'll ask him to learn more from you later, haha..."

Xiao Fan stood up straight and raised his glittering medal and pure gold running shoes on the high podium.

The audience once again burst into applause like a tide.

The music also reaches its climax.

Xiao Fan didn't pay much attention to the awards for the runner-up and third runner-up.

When he stood on the highest championship podium, he realized that the second No.3 is actually not much different from the eleventh.

Because they are all behind him.

……

"Contestant Xiao Fan, after the award ceremony there will be a celebration reception arranged by the sponsor of the competition. I hope you can attend it too!"

After getting off the podium, the staff of the competition organizing committee hurriedly came to inform him.

"Okay, got it." Xiao Fan agreed, and followed the guidance of the staff.

While walking, he waved to the audience around him.

I am in a good mood today.

Got the championship.

Xiao Fan is naturally nice and patient like never before.

The organizing committee arranged so many complicated links, but he didn't take it seriously and obeyed the arrangement.

……

As soon as Xiao Fan walked into the door of the celebration reception, he quickly became the focus of the scene.

As the champion of this competition, it is difficult for him to keep a low profile tonight.

It can even be said that this celebration reception was organized for him.

Not for the top three, not for the top ten, just for the championship!

Many people enthusiastically surrounded him and greeted him.

Xiao Fan didn't know any of them.

However, this did not affect these people's enthusiasm for him at all.

"Xiao Fan, congratulations!"

"The champion is so young, so young and promising!"

"Mr. Xiao Fan, I didn't expect you to be not only a champion, but also so handsome..."

Xiao Fan was a little surprised.

The compliments, especially from strangers, came upon him like a storm.

It seems that when I grow up to 23 years old, the compliments I hear are not as many as today!
