Chapter 218: They Are All Ordinary People

”Hey Li, congratulations on winning gold in the relay race, your efforts were the most valuable!”

”You're amazing, Li, to help Haiquan Fang and Yue Zhao develop such closeness in only one day.”

”Li, I saw that the other team members' cooperation was better than before, your training's effectiveness is extraordinary!”

The coaches around Dai Li couldn't stop praising him.

Li Xue had his nose in the air, elated and proud. Previously, nobody was willing to be in charge of the relay team, thinking it was too dangerous, until his student Dai Li stepped forward bravely.

The result hadn't blown up in Li Xue's face. Dai Li brought no shame, but glory, to Li Xue, in the form of an Asian Games relay champion, which was a big surprise and beyond everyone's expectations.

Including the previous champions in the 100m and 200m run, they had gained three ”grand chiefs,” so now they could return fully decorated.

Based on traditions, in the upcoming Asian Games Commendation Conference, the national athletic team would be praised for sure, while their application for next year's funds would be largely guaranteed. Therefore, the whole team would benefit from their achievements.

Among compliments, Dai Li was smiling shyly. To him, the relay championship helped gain not only public approval of his ability, but also twenty thousand experience value points as a reward.

The experience value increases faster in competitions! If I only depend on daily training, I wonder how long it would take to obtain sufficient value points to upgrade. A relay champion is worth twenty thousand experience points, one fifth of the upgrading value points required! Dai Li sighed in his mind.

But big competitions like the Asian Games are only held once every four years. Usually in domestic games, even if I trained a champion, I wouldn't receive much experience value as a reward. If I have such experience-rewarding opportunities in the future, I must take every chance.

Dai Li knew that without these Asian Games, he could never predict exactly when he would finally gain enough experience value to upgrade to the top-level coach intermediate phase.

In the next long period of time, there were no big competitions. Dai Li would have to gain his experience value step by step.

...

The Asian Games were finished, but Dai Li didn't return to the Hanbei Provincial Athletic team. Li Xue let him stay with the national team for a few more days in order to increase the coaching team's variety, while offering an opportunity for Dai Li to learn more.

People could tell that Li Xue was determined to cultivate Dai Li, and they had no disagreements. The relay race had proved Dai Li's ability, he was indeed worth of the national team's special treatment.

The national athletic team.

Dai Li knocked at the door, then walked into Li Xue's office.

”Coach, did you want to see me about something?” Dai Li asked.

”Take my car keys and drive my car to pick someone up from the airport. Today's schedule is pretty tight, and our team cars are out on duty, so I have to use my own car instead.” Li Xue said, threw his car key to Dai Li.

”Who should I pick up?” Dai Li took the key and asked.

”Old Ding! Jihai Ding. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't let you pick them up. They could simply take a taxi here.” Li Xue continued, ”Old Ding's flight will arrive at around half past eleven.”

”Which airport?” asked Dai Li.

”The international airport, Terminal Three, Exit B,” Li Xue replied.

”Is Exit B the exit for international flights?” Dai Li searched his mind, then asked.

”Old Ding went to Singapore for the Asian Hurdling Promotion Conference, that was why he took the international flight. Hurry up, there isn't much time left before rush hour, you don't want to get stuck in a traffic jam,” Li Xue said, then focused on his own business.

Dai Li, driving Li Xue's car, headed to the international airport.

At present, it wasn't rush hour, thus traffic wasn't busy. As Dai Li approached the airport, the amount of cars increased gradually, most of them passengers trying to make it in time for flights.

Dai Li parked the car in the parking lot, then went directly to Exit B, Terminal Three. He checked the time, just about eleven o'clock, so the flight from Singapore had not arrived yet. Even if the flight had landed, it still took time for passengers to pass through customs and pick up luggage.

Coach Ding is on the flight, so he can't answer my phone call. Once his flight arrives, the screen will show the information. I can text him then to let him know that I'm here waiting to pick him up.

Since Dai Li felt that there was still some time left, he found a seat, then began to read online novels.

Passengers with different skin colors came out from the exit one after another, white, black, mixed race… All kinds of people gathered together, but nothing stood out. Different languages were spoken at the same time, creating an frenzied atmosphere.

A group of tens of people walked out from the exit wearing the same tracksuits, looking quite strong. Dai Li glanced at them, immediately recognizing that they were athletes.
