Kun Shen looked at Yueyang Zhu, who stood next to him in the door of the track and field building, feeling nauseous.

”Yueyang Zhu, you are so mean. I heard that the Discipline Inspection Dispute Group has arrived. You persuaded Tingshan Chen to speak out, but you are standing here watching the fun,” Kun Shen said with despise.

”The nail that sticks up always gets hammered down!”Yueyan Zhu said. ”But this time, we need someone to speak out. You don't need to pretend to be a nice guy in front of me. When I was encouraging Tingshan Chen, you didn't say anything. You just wanted to get something out of it. if you really feel sorry for Tingshan Chen, why don't you switch with him and be the nail that sticks out?”

Kun Shen frowned. Yueyang Zhu's words were not pleasant to hear, but it revealed the truth that Kun Shen wanted to hear. He knew that Tingshan Chen was the guy that had stepped up, but he didn't say anything because he also wanted to get something out of it. Without Tingshan Chen, Kun Shen would get nothing.

Kun Shen felt sorry for Tingshan Chen. He sighed. ”I feel sorry for Tingshan Chen. He was the one who reported the thing to the Discipline Inspection Dispute Group. Even if it works out in the end, he would be blamed by Weidong Chu. Once the Discipline Inspection Dispute Group leaves, Weidong Chu will surely be hard on him. Maybe Coach Guodong Li will be punished as well.”

”This is the cost of growing up!” Yueyang Zhu said. ”Tingshan Chen is a proud guy. He never showed respect to our older team members, as he thought he was excellent in his field. It is time to teach him a lesson and let him know that he can't do whatever he likes on our track and field team. If Tingshan Chen does get punished, it is not a bad thing for us, as we have such a competitive team environment.”

Kun Shen didn't argue. Tingshan Chen was a proud person. He was only 19 years old, but his sports performance was as good as Kun Shen and Yueyang Zhu. One could predict that after three or four years, when Tingshan Chen would be 23, he would surely surpass Kun Shen and Yueyang Zhu.

Maybe because of this, Tingshan Chen had become ”the nail that stuck up.” When you are 18 and 19, you do things irrationally. Young men don't have their own opinions towards things, and tend to be more impulsive when they hear something. As they get older, they learn to think critically and have their own values and beliefs, and aren't shaped as easily by a place or person.

…

Weidong Chu looked at Tingshan Chen with resent inside the reception room. Xiaochun Gao was about to leave, as he had ran out of ideas. They didn't expect there would be another obstacle for them to overcome.

It is so inappropriate for Tingshan Chen showed up right now. We thought he would be the key person to develop; who knew he was such a troublemaker!

Weidong Chu thought about the two reports that had already happened before and realized Tingshan Chen had been a part of them. He couldn't help thinking less of Tingshan Chen.

Xiaochun Gao, on the other hand, seemed really excited. He thought he had found a new drive. He happily invited Tingshan Chen to sit down.

”My name is Tingshan Chen. I am an athlete on the sprint team…” Tingshan Chen introduced himself first.

”Tingshan Chen, you mentioned that you wanted to join relay team, but Coach Dai Li didn't accept you. Can you tell me more about this?” Xiaochun Gao asked patiently with a kind face.

”I wanted to join the relay team, so I went to Coach Li. But Coach Li said no,” Tingshan Chen said. ”My 100m record is surely the best on our team, but Coach Li would rather take other athletes who are slower than choose me. This is not fair!” Tingshan Chen said.

”Coach Li, is this true?” Xiaochun Gao looked at Dai Li, looking thrilled. ”You just said that the athletes you picked are either fast runners or potential fast runners. Tingshan Chen is a young and promising athlete. How come you didn't choose him?”

”Tingshan Chen wasn't one of the seven athletes who signed up in the beginning. When he came to me, it was past the application period—it was three month later. Tingshan Chen thought this was unfair, but we have our rules. If you can still apply for it after three months, it is unfair for the other people,” Dai Li answered without hesitation.

”Coach Li, you are right. If everyone delays things and hopes it will be fine, we can't manage our track and field team,” Weidong Chu said.
