Chapter 160: Another Career Change (2/2)

”Jun Wu, No. 3 throwing team... Coach Hao Huang will be your instructor.”

”Chenglong Zhu, No. 1 long-distance running team….. Coach Hua Cai will be your instructor.”

”Dai Li...” Finally, Li Xue shouted out Dai Li's name. Dai Li pricked up his ears immediately.

”No. 1 sprinting team!” Li Xue said.

What? The No. 1 sprinting team? It's not the long jump group! Dai Li was surprised.

On Dai Li had submitted to the national team, he had put the long jump as his specialty. He had also noted on the resume that he had been the head coach of Haiquan Fang. Because of this, Dai Li had been ninety percent sure that he would be assigned to the long jump group. However, to his surprise, the words that had come out of Li Xue's mouth were ”No. 1 sprinting team.”

The No. 1 sprinting team should be responsible for the 100m and 200m sprint. I already changed my specialty from the shot put to the long jump; now I have to change it again to sprinting. Now I really want to know who will be my instructor…

Just as the thought crossed Dai Li's mind, Li Xue gave him an answer.

”Coach Li Xue will be your instructor!”

Who? Li Xue? Dai Li looked at Li Xue with a shocked face. He had not expected Li Xue to instruct him personally.

At the same time, Li Xue also gave a glance to Dai Li, as if to say, ”You heard that right. It's me!”

...

”Oh, Coach Li, how I envy you! You will be instructed by Coach Li Xue!”

”Envy me? I honestly wish I could switch with you. Just the look of Coach Li Xue is scary enough for me!” Dai Li was thinking about the grisly look of Li Xue—a bald head with a ferocious looking face, just like a bandit…

”Coach Xue is a bit scary, but he is actually quite a nice person. Moreover, as the deputy head coach of the national team, he is responsible for the daily training of the national team. Coach Xue used to be a sprinter, so the No. 1 sprinting team has more training resources than the other training groups!”

Dai Li nodded to express his understanding. Indeed, the No. 1 sprinting team had more training resources than the other groups, which could be attributed to Li Xue.

This rule was applicable to all industries. The boss would usually take extra care of the department he or she had worked at themselves. This rule was more subtle in industries like science, education, culture, health, and sports.

In a university, if the president had been a professor in a department, that department would get more resources for sure, such as financial support and preferential treatments in scientific research. In a hospital, if the director had once been a doctor in a certain department, that department would certainly be superior to other departments, and would always get preferential treatment when it came to things like equipment introduction and talent development.

Because Li Xue had been a sprinter and was responsible for the training of the No. 1 sprinting team, more training resources would naturally be allocated to the No. 1 sprinting team.

”As the second chief of the national team, Li Xue will definitely have more opportunities to take part in events. As his trainee, maybe you can also take part in matches all over the country by following him,” a coach beside Dai Li said with the expression of admiration.

I could have the chance to take part in the matches! Dai Li's face lit up. Now he felt that it might be a good thing to be the Li Xue's trainee.
