Chapter 152: Accustomed to Swimming
"Human energy is limited, and this is especially evident in sports. If you slack off in training, your performance will immediately decline," Deputy Director Huang said lamentably. "Once you lose the halo of achievement, you'll be immediately abandoned. Businesspeople are very realistic."
"I understand. People who have been involved in sports have only been doing this for about ten years. This doesn't count injuries. You never know when your career will end. If you don't seize the immediate benefits, you'll miss it forever." Director Fang said, looking at him with his clear black eyes.
"Let's not make long-term plans." Deputy Director Huang said unhappily.
"That's what people are like! How many of them can see far into the future?" Director Fang chuckled, looking at him with deep eyes, and said, "But there's no medicine for regret in this world."
"Look! It's still too chaotic right now. We're completely unprepared." Director Fang said with a wry smile, "Don't rush us. Let's sort it out after the competition is over."
"Yes!" Deputy Director Huang nodded when he heard this.

Zhu Youlin sent Lin Jingzhe back to the dormitory and looked at the empty room and said, "Qina and the others are coming back."
"Aren't they busy with the interview for tomorrow?" Lin Jingzhe said with a smile, "I guess they haven't finished yet." He turned around and looked at Coach Zhu and said, "Come in and sit down."
"Don't sit anymore. Go to bed early." Zhu Youlin looked at her gently with her bright almond-shaped eyes.
"Okay!" Lin Jingzhe sent Coach Zhu out, picked up his phone and called Lin's father.
"I was just about to call you." Father Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you okay?"
"What can I do?" Lin Jingzhe blinked his clear eyes and said casually while sitting on the white sofa, "You mean the hype reward of 5 million?"
"Yes!" Father Lin said with a slight turn of his dark eyes, "Now you know. Do you have time?"
"I just found out." Lin Jingzhe said with a smile.
"What do you think?" Father Lin said with deep eyes.
"Of course not." Lin Jingzhe leaned back on the sofa and said bluntly.
"That's 10 million, maybe even more." Father Lin said jokingly, "It's a lot, a lot of money."
"I just don't have the confidence given by my father, so I won't accept it." Lin Jingzhe said mischievously, and was greeted with a hearty laugh from his father.
"You're right not to. This money is a pain in the ass." Father Lin said with a gentle look.
"I told you, my daughter is not someone who cares too much." Mother Lin said angrily as she looked at her lover with her starry eyes, "You are not worried anymore now, are you?"
"Yes, yes, madam, you are wise." Father Lin complimented with a smile.
"What are you saying in front of the child?" Lin's mother said in a coquettish tone with a flicker of her eyes.
Lin Jingzhe listened to the flirting between the Lin family's parents on the other end of the phone and laughed unkindly, "Hehe..."
"Look, Nannan is laughing at us!" Lin's mother said embarrassedly.
"No, no, the love between parents is what we children like to see most." Lin Jingzhe said with a smile.
"Since you've decided not to accept it, I'm fine." Father Lin said in a very gentle voice, "Get some rest early. You have a competition tomorrow. It's 1,500 meters, and you have to swim so many laps. Just thinking about it makes me dread."
"Nothing." Lin Jingzhe said easily, "I'm used to swimming."
"Okay, let's stop talking. Go to bed." Father Lin said with a sour nose. Looking at his lover who was covering his mouth, he said sadly, "Good night, I'm hanging up."
"Good night." Lin Jingzhe hung up the phone without noticing.
"Why are you crying?" Father Lin put the phone on the coffee table and said while putting his arm around his lover's shoulders.
"How much do you have to swim before you can say you are used to it." Mother Lin sniffed and said with concern.
"All athletes go through this," Father Lin said, caressing her shoulders. "The most frightening thing is collapsing mid-race." He said thankfully, "Our daughter wasn't injured. She's safe and sound, and she even won the gold medal." He patted her shoulder and said, "Be happy."
"Yeah!" Lin's mother forced back the mist in her eyes, "Let's finish the game quickly! Nannan can have a good rest."
"I'm afraid you can't rest." Father Lin looked at her with warm and clear eyes.
"Why don't you take a rest?" Lin's mother said with an unhappy expression when she heard that.
"An interview! So many people are waiting in line! If it weren't for the leader's support, Nannan wouldn't be able to concentrate on the competition." Father Lin looked at her with eyes as gentle as jade and said, "Fortunately, Nannan is also doing well. The leader really can wake up laughing in his dreams."
"I wonder if our daughter can handle the interview? Some reporters are quite tricky." Mother Lin said worriedly, twisting her fingers.
"Don't worry! The reporters' questions have all been screened, and Nannan's answers have been prepared in advance. They might even have been polished up by someone else, so they're all very official." Father Lin looked at her with a raised eyebrow and said, "I know this best. I'm also the one being interviewed."
"Yes! Yes!" Mother Lin looked at him with bright eyes and said, "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat or drink?"
"Okay!" Lin's father agreed happily, "I'll order room service."
The couple played music to set the mood, dimmed the lights, lit candles, had a drink, and when they were in high spirits, they even did some ballroom dancing.

"Wow... the audience is even more enthusiastic today!" Lin Xingzhi couldn't help but exclaimed.
Shen Ze smiled charmingly and said, "Look, everyone is waving small national flags in their hands."
"It's so lively!" Lin Qiwei said as she looked at them with a smile in her almond-shaped eyes.
"That 10 million magic power is very strong." Father Lin said with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"I wonder if our daughter can win?" Mother Lin said worriedly with a frown.
"Winning is winning, losing is losing. What's the big deal?" Lin Xingzhi said, his inky black eyes gazing at the rippling emerald pool. "Can you really blame Nannan?"
"It's hard to say. Maybe he'll complain! Expectations are too high, so the disappointment will be huge." Lin Xingzhi said worriedly, his brow furrowed. "Maybe he'll curse."
"You can't blame me for this," Lin Qiwei said with displeasure, "Those four gold medals aren't gold medals!"
"People usually only blame others." Lin Xingzhi looked around the venue with a sharp gaze, looking at the enthusiastic audience.
"What if we lose?" Lin Qiwei said worriedly.
"I don't know." Father Lin said with deep eyes, his heart lifted because of the excited audience.
"I hope it won't affect Nannan's mood." Mother Lin said nervously, clenching her fists.
"Pray that my sister can win." Lin Qiwei clasped her hands together and muttered softly.
"This is just a last-minute cram session. I don't know if it will work!" said Lin's mother, feeling both amused and helpless.
