Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

For a while, the angry people of Jia Kingdom had everything they wanted to say, but it was nothing compared to what Qingyue suffered.No matter what, Alek is a passive person in this turmoil.Coupled with Alek's usual rigorous life style, it is rare for him to have old events being dug up and talked about repeatedly.

But Qingyue is completely different.In addition to figure skating commercial performances, he has also participated in many commercial activities in the past few years, including commercials and celebrity MV shooting.It has gained considerable attention in front of the media.In addition, this time it can be said that he took the initiative to admit his sexual orientation in front of the media, and what he said was considered extremely arrogant by many people.Therefore, some reports and program interviews aimed at him are obviously more offensive...

"As soon as he came out of that ridiculous show skate, I knew he must not be a normal guy."

"Oh, this sentence sounds very interesting. I mean, I agree with your point of view. In fact, I think he is definitely not a man on the ice rink, but a... very attractive to men. Woman. Of course, I don't mean to say that I'm interested in him."

"Aha, man, I think you better not have any."

When Alek turned on the TV, what he saw... almost all the reports about Qingyue were similar.This made Alek, who had already adjusted his mental state to an excellent level, uncontrollably develop an emotion related to irritability and even anger.

Alek turned off the TV irritably and opened the window of the dormitory.The following are full of journalists from various countries who are blocked outside the dormitory building of the skaters.They all seem to want to get first-hand information about Qingyue or Alek before the start of tomorrow's long program, and make a synchronous special program together with tomorrow's live broadcast of the event.

Such a situation made Alek, who had not responded to Qing Yue's interview yesterday, very angry.

The short-track speed skating athlete who lived in the same room with Alek has returned home after the competition.Therefore, Alek lives alone in this dormitory now.

His agent came to his dormitory room after yesterday's report appeared, and seemed worried that he planned to keep him in the room to watch him before tomorrow's long program game started.

In this way, Alek paced around the room for a long time, and finally pulled the doorknob under the nervous gaze of the manager. What did the journalists from various countries downstairs say.

Seeing Alek's reaction like that, his female manager immediately slammed her body against the door when he opened the door of the dormitory, stopping Alek's movement, and made the door that had already been opened heavy again. is re-closed.

"Sabina, get out of the way."

"You're dreaming! I won't get out of the way! Because I know what a stupid thing you're going to do!"

Although Alek's female manager would look extra petite once she stood beside him, this did not stop her determination to stand in front of Alek and prevent him from leaving the room.She just used her body to block the door of the dormitory, not to mention giving Alex another chance to touch the damned doorknob.

So Alek, almost deadpan, repeated: "Get out of the way."

"You are crazy, Alek! I know what you want to do! You want to respond positively to that interview Qingyue gave yesterday! You want to tell those people that you love him! If you can, you will Tell them to shut up! But once you give this response, you will end up in the same fate as Qing Yue! Listen! I absolutely, absolutely...will not let you go!"

Alek's agent, Sabina, tried hard to put on a vicious look, trying to stop Alek.However, those things seemed to have no effect on Alek, he stretched out his hand to the doorknob that Sabina was protecting with both hands, and slowly turned it.

Under the disparity in power between the two, Alek's manager Sabina was completely unable to stop Alek.But when the door opened, the two were stunned at the same time.

Therefore... the person waiting at the door at this moment is the chairman of the Ice Association of Jia Country, Mr. Anderson.

Anderson seemed to have been standing at the door of Alek's dormitory room for a long time, and he had heard everything they argued in the room.He walked into the room with a cold face, nodded to Alek's manager Sabina and said in a very gentlemanly manner: "I think I may need to talk to Alek, can you give me this time, Miss Sabina?"

"sure……"

Seeing that the chairman of the Ice Association spoke to her so solemnly, Sabina, who is a sports agent, quickly nodded to Mr. Anderson and walked out of the room. Before leaving, she glanced at Alek, as if I hope he can choose a more correct attitude when facing the chairman of the Ice Association.

When the door was closed again, a solemn atmosphere filled the entire dormitory room.

At the moment when the door was closed, Mr. Anderson, the chairman of the Jia Country Ice Association, was no longer as calm as before.He looked extremely angry, or... At this time, only "furious" could describe his mood at the moment.He walked to Alek's side expressionlessly, but didn't stop.He walked further into the room, kicked the small round table next to the floor lamp to the ground, and then turned his head to look at Alek.

"You want to go to those reporters and tell them that you and Xishu's boy are really what he said?"

"Yes, Mr. Anderson."

"So, do you want to say that you don't want this year's Olympic medals?"

After doing that, the chairman of Jia Country's Ice Association seemed to be no longer angry, but smiled instead.However, there is nothing wrong with such a smile.Even, what he said made Alek, who understood what he meant, silent in a daze.

"Do you know how old you are? You are 26 years old. Do you think that if you miss this opportunity, you may go to the Olympics again? Or...do you think that the current Jia country men's singles is still dominated by you? I think you should know better than me that your performance and state have not been so ideal in the past few years. Of course, injuries have always troubled you, and your peak period has long passed. We all You know, but as an athlete, none of that is an excuse for your poor grades."

These words seemed to have been buried in Mr. Anderson's heart for a long time, but this was the first time he said them all, even... in front of Alek.

In the competitive career blueprint everyone designed for Alek, he should have won an Olympic gold medal in the last Olympics, and then retired with honors.Then, he will give up the throne of the number one player in the Jia country, and the Jia country will usher in another era where all the heroes will rise together.And, with the passage of time, like his father Sauron, he became another legend in the Jia country ice circle.But he didn't, what's more, he lost in that Olympic Games when he was 22 years old. Even his past glory was lost by him in that Olympic Games...

Therefore, in order to seize the last chance to win an Olympic medal, Alek had to prolong his competitive career after undergoing surgery and give it his all in this Olympic Games when he was 26 years old.But the country of Jia, which has a large number of talents, is different from Xishu, which is in an embarrassing situation now.This is destined to be very embarrassing for Alek on the road to prolonging his competitive career.

"In the past few years, our Jia country has always had rookies who are not half as inferior as you were back then. This is something that makes us very gratified. But you have always been a special meaning to our Jia country ice association. Men's singles player. We all hope that you can win a substantial medal in the last Olympic Games before you retire.

That's why we put all our political support on you in this year's Olympics.

But you should know that your talent is really ordinary, and it is all due to your hard work that you can get to where you are today.If you don't even work hard, and even get caught up in this kind of scandal, then there is no value in existence.Our Jia country will not create an Olympic champion like you to become a role model for young people.Do you get me? "

Mr. Anderson's words have made it very clear.He looked at Alek, who was frowning and silent from beginning to end, without any eagerness.Even...he seemed very leisurely, as if no matter what the answer Alek said...he didn't care too much.

After a long silence, Alek said with a hoarse voice: "I...I never thought that my existence would hinder the performance of other Jia country players in international competitions. This is a competitive competition, we just Formulate the most suitable plan according to the rules of the game, perform with all your strength in the game, and then get a result."

"Yes, of course I know you think so. But it's not 20 years ago, they wouldn't have two players from the same country on the podium."

Anderson, who had already grown a lot of white hair, walked to Alek's side, and said this softly, making Alek's pupils shrink.

Yet Anderson has not stopped what he has to say to Alek on this trip.When he saw a wave of wavering on Alek's face, he sat down on the comfortable seat next to the floor lamp, tapping his knuckles lightly on the armrest of the chair, making the brisk rhythm in this solemn atmosphere The house price rang.

"If you have to get yourself into a scandal like this, I won't stop you. But we will definitely transfer all the political support to others. That kid Hamill is good. He won in the last Olympics. He has achieved very good results. Moreover, he is younger than Qingyue of Xishu, and this year happens to be his golden age.

Of course, Edgar is also very good.You know, he won the championship in this year's Jia Country National Championships. He is a very savvy and talented kid in skating.

Well, need I be clearer, Alek?We can lift a promising player to the top of the world, and we can also make him fall and never get back up at the last moment.Do you want to give it a try, if we transfer all the political support we put on you to other people, how much will your long-form content score... How much will it be? "
