When Xu Qiang appeared to warm up, he immediately saw Fang Yuan and his group.

After a moment of愣, Xu Qiang shook his head, not expecting that his hometown competition would attract these guys.

He smiled wryly and waved to the group.

He warmed up more seriously than usual, mainly because it was the first time Fang Yuan and Zhou Shengde had come to watch his competition, and it would be a joke if he didn't perform well.

At the very least, he would be caught and ridiculed by these two guys for a while.

It wasn't that he was worried about his old buddies' ridicule, but the key was not to let these two guys catch him with his pants down.

Thinking of this, Xu Qiang's body was filled with power.

It's time to let you see how powerful I am, Xu Qiang made up his mind.

If Xu Qiang couldn't win the national competition, that would be news, but now the focus is on how to make this championship look better.

Fang Yuan didn't know that the arrival of his group had filled Xu Qiang with fighting spirit.

If he had known, he would have come a few more times.

Without making Fang Yuan wait too long, the final quickly began.

Xu Qiang was now on the starting line, took a deep breath, pointed to the direction where Fang Yuan and the others were, and then lowered his body.

The camera followed Xu Qiang's finger to the direction of Fang Yuan's group.

It was as if a switch had been pressed, and the reporters frantically recorded this moment.

That was Fang Yuan! It was simply wishful thinking to get news about him at ordinary times.

That's right, even their leaders had warned these guys not to deliberately seek out Fang Yuan's news.

It's good to have someone above you, even reporters can be controlled.

However, there's nothing wrong with this kind of unexpected situation if they're not allowed to deliberately look for Fang Yuan, right?

After all, Fang Yuan is considered a semi-public figure, and it would be too much if this wasn't allowed.

Even if this is China, this kind of thing can't happen casually.

After all, reporters are like censors in ancient times, a group of people who make a living by their mouths and articles. If they are silenced, it would be better to let them die!

Okay, the sound of the flash made Fang Yuan very uncomfortable, but it wasn't a big deal.

He protected Xiang Lingling behind him. The last incident was too much, and Fang Yuan had kept it in his heart.

Xiang Lingling, who was blocked behind Fang Yuan, felt a warmth in her heart. She didn't expect this blockhead to be quite warm!

The reporters ignored the athletes on the field and took pictures of Fang Yuan!

It made people feel that the protagonist today was not these athletes, but Fang Yuan.

However, this situation did not last long. After all the athletes on the field were ready, the camera gradually moved away from Fang Yuan.

Only a few tabloids and some self-media would focus on Fang Yuan.

After all, for them, hot topics are their livelihood.

The popularity of these athletes combined is not as good as Fang Yuan's.

Or rather, only Xu Qiang can be considered a person who brings his own hot topics.

Apart from him, there are very few other athletes with fame.

If this competition wasn't held in his hometown, Xu Qiang wouldn't have participated.

After all, the gold content is still a bit lacking, at least compared to his current level.

However, the gold content of the competition still depends on the athletes' results.

As long as the athletes' final results are good enough, the gold content of those competitions will be high enough.

Athletes are like this, everything is based on results.

This is how Xu Qiang has come all the way, from being an unknown person to today's achievements, he doesn't know how many cold shoulders he has experienced.

No matter who it is, if you want to go from being unknown to being well-known, you have to go through this process.

Even Fang Yuan is like this, Zhou Shengde is like this, and Xiang Lingling is the same.

However, Zhou Shengde hasn't come out yet, but they have already come out.

……

"On your marks!"

"Set!"

"Bang!"

As soon as the gunshot rang, Xu Qiang, like a cheetah, "swooshed" out.

The time for a 100-meter race is very short, it ends in about ten seconds.

Xu Qiang took the lead, as if there was prey in front of him.

His eyes were shining, the frequency of his arm swings became faster and faster, and he crossed the finish line in the blink of an eye.

Fang Yuan hadn't reacted yet, and Xu Qiang's side had already ended.

Are sprinters all so fast?

The look in Fang Yuan's eyes gradually began to become meaningful.

Fortunately, Xu Qiang didn't hear it, otherwise, it's unknown whether Fang Yuan could stand here in one piece!

(囫囵个 and 完好无损 mean almost the same thing!)

After crossing the finish line, Xu Qiang still didn't stop.

There was no suspense for first place, and some media even felt that Xu Qiang's participation in this kind of competition was a dimensionality reduction attack.

Xu Qiang raised his head and looked at the final results on the big screen.

"Oh my god! 9.82 seconds, Xu Qiang can actually run such a result?"

"Hoo!"

"Ha!"

"Oh!"

Various interjections came one after another from the audience.

When they saw Xu Qiang's final result, the entire stadium boiled.

To be able to run such a result in this semi-open-air stadium, if there are no accidents, it must be valid.

In other words, a new chapter in Chinese sprinting has begun.

This kind of result can stand on the podium even in the most competitive competition, and even has the capital to aspire to the top.

Applause, cheers, and exclamations continued for a long time.

Fang Yuan and Zhou Shengde's palms were about to be broken, and they still offered their meager strength to Xu Qiang.

This is their brother, the fastest man in China, and even, to some extent, the fastest person in the world this year.

However, it is still very early this year. If he can persist until the end of the year, then Xu Qiang will have created a miracle.

A miracle belonging to the Chinese people.

A miracle belonging to the Chinese sprinting world.

No one can do this.

At least no Chinese person can do this.

Fang Yuan knew that something was going to happen today.

He didn't expect that the first time he came to watch Xu Qiang's competition, the other party would give him such a surprise.

"Hoo hoo hoo!" Fang Yuan shouted ecstatically.

Without being in this kind of environment, you will never know how excited you are at this time.

Even the calm Xiang Lingling blushed, and if Fang Yuan wasn't by her side, she would have shouted along.

This is no small matter, a 100-meter result of 9.82 seconds, not to mention China, has never appeared in the entire Asia.

What is a bit of a pity is that this game is not broadcast live nationwide. If you want to review it, you can only see it from video materials or replays on local TV stations.

Unlike the excitement of the audience, all the reporters began to get busy.

How could this kind of thing be without their existence? Every time they are fighting on the front line.

Within 1 minute of Xu Qiang crossing the line, countless articles have spread on the Internet.

In less than five minutes, 100-meter flyer Xu Qiang has already rushed to the hot search.

Moreover, this momentum has not slowed down at all, but has intensified, with a tendency to directly rush to the top of the hot search.

Xu Qiang ran to the front of Fang Yuan and his party and said: "How is it? Brother didn't disappoint you, right?"

"Of course, you are the best!" Before Fang Yuan could speak, Zhou Shengde preemptively said.

Indeed, not to mention that Xu Qiang performed so well today, even if he didn't perform well, he would still be the best in their hearts.

They are different from others here. They don't judge winning or losing based on results. As long as it is something obtained by a brother, it is the best.

Fang Yuan also nodded frantically, the face that was flushed from the excited shouting had not recovered.

"You guys wait for me outside for a while, let's go out for a meal together later!" Xu Qiang shouted loudly.

If he didn't speak loudly, how could these people hear him?

The sound in the stadium is too loud now, even though the game is over, people's excited voices have not disappeared.

Unless Xu Qiang disappears in front of their eyes, otherwise this situation will continue for a while.

"Okay, we'll wait for you in the car. By the way, my car can't fit you, remember to drive your own car over." Fang Yuan thought of something and told him.

"Okay!"

Negotiate

After discussing, Xu Qiang went to the backstage to take a shower, dealt with the reporters, and ran out quickly.

Forty minutes later, it was another barbecue restaurant.

This is Beihai's most famous barbecue, which has been open for more than forty years.

The taste is naturally excellent, but the boss's temper is not very good.

Even so, you have to queue up to eat a barbecue here, but Zhou Shengde doesn't need to queue up. This barbecue restaurant is now in charge of his uncle. If his father hadn't entered politics, it might have been his father in charge.

If you still need to queue up, it would be simply outrageous.

Fang Yuan really likes the taste of this barbecue.

No, this sentence is a bit redundant, as long as anyone who has eaten this barbecue will fall in love with this taste.

The most important thing is that the atmosphere here is so good, it's all friends coming to get together.

Compared with other places, although everyone here is coming to get together, it is not noisy at all.

"Good job, Xiaoqiang! I didn't expect you to run so fast!" Fang Yuan is not stingy with praise for his friends.

"That's right, you should know who I am! I dominated the entire Beihai back in high school, and now I'm practically dominating all of China. Next up is dominating the whole world!" Xu Qiang wasn't drinking; strict self-discipline was his best teacher on the road to success.

"And finally, conquer the universe?" Qian Xiaoxiao glanced at the spirited Xu Qiang and retorted without any reservation.

"Hey! Fatty, what's your problem? Are you trying to pick a fight?"

"I just stated a fact! Besides, according to your logic, there's nothing wrong with what I said, right?" Qian Xiaoxiao shrugged his almost non-existent shoulders.

"You—"

Xu Qiang felt like this guy was just retaliating. Last time, he and Zhou Shengde stopped him, preventing him from ruining Fang Yuan's plans. This must be his way of getting revenge.

Indeed, fat people hold grudges.

But considering that he was in the wrong first, he'd just swallow this loss.

Just let him find an opportunity, or he'd definitely make him pay.

Most importantly, Xu Qiang wasn't sure he could beat this fatty.

Even with the system's training, he was only slightly stronger in terms of stamina.

He wouldn't even dare to say he was a match for Qian Xiaoxiao in terms of strength.

After all, back in high school, this guy was one of the biggest toughs at Beihai First High.

Rumors about him had always circulated, like how he could punch down a tree or kill a kid with a single blow.

These rumors weren't entirely baseless. Back in high school, even he and his two buddies together couldn't beat this fatty.

Otherwise, he would have beaten that punchable face of his hundreds of times over.

The situation wouldn't be much better now. Even if he had become stronger, looking at the two weaklings beside him, the one who would suffer in a fight definitely wouldn't be the fatty.

Xu Qiang sighed. Forced by the situation, there was nothing he could do.

He was weaker than the other guy, and being backward meant being beaten. This was a principle summed up by their ancestors.

Even now, this saying remained as true as ever.

After they had their fill of food and drinks, they each took their girlfriends home.

Oh, right, there was also a single dog here—Qian Xiaoxiao. But whether it was because of what happened last time or because he had enough dog food tonight, Qian Xiaoxiao left after the meal.

Having drunk a little alcohol, Fang Yuan wandered aimlessly with Xiang Lingling on the street.

As they wandered, they somehow ended up at the villa his mother had bought him.

"What do you think of this villa?" Fang Yuan asked, pretending to be tipsy.

"Hmm? It's alright, but the garden in front could be a bit bigger!" Xiang Lingling looked up and saw the detached villa in front of her.

"Would you like to go inside and take a look? I haven't been here since Mom gave it to me!" Fang Yuan invited.

Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Xiang Lingling's face turned red.

Inviting her in for a tour?

And so late at night?

Wasn't this a Sima Zhao's heart—obvious to everyone!

After considering it, Xiang Lingling nodded, her face flushed.

She didn't know if it was the alcohol or what she was thinking about.

But what happened next...

Hehe...

Are you thinking dirty? What followed was, of course, just a normal tour.

Fang Yuan was indeed very curious.

After all, this was the first time he had been here since his mother gave it to him.

Besides, it wasn't the time to do 'that' with Xiang Lingling yet.

He wasn't so thirsty as to do that.

He was a traditional man to the core. If possible, he hoped to do 'that' after marriage.

There was no way around it; the Fang family had quite a few rules.

To some extent, they had more rules than most families.

It was already good that Fang Yuan hadn't turned out completely messed up growing up in such an environment.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have done such a brain-dead thing back in high school.

Fortunately, his brain had fully developed by now.

Otherwise, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.

Fang Yuan hoped that such a thing had never happened.

If he could do it again, he would learn from Li Bai.

Cough! What was he learning from Li Bai? He just needed to tell his past self not to do things he would regret.

After all, his current achievements were much greater than Li Bai's.

He should know that not everyone could win the Fields Medal.

In almost a hundred years, he was still the first Chinese person to win the Fields Medal.

Not counting those of Chinese descent.

Besides the Fields Medal, he had many other achievements he could be proud of.

He wouldn't list them all here.

Anyway, besides the incident of rejecting Xiang Lingling back then, Fang Yuan felt that there was nothing else in the first half of his life that he would remember with regret.
