Wang Gang stood on the track of the Seoul Stadium, took a deep breath, slowly leaned down, felt the wind direction, and became familiar with the venue.
Today is not the selection of the Asian team for the World Cup Track and Field Championships. Wang Gang is just here to familiarize himself with the competition venue. The real selection will officially begin after the selection.
Bangzi Country attaches great importance to this trial, not only choosing the largest gymnasium, but also arranging a large amount of media coverage throughout the event, which seems to be building momentum for its athletes.
Track and field competitions include not only sprinting, but also long-distance running, long jump, high jump, shot put, discus and other events.
Wang Gang came to South Korea with other members of the national team and only competed in the 100m and 200m events.
Only by defeating all athletes from Asian countries can he join the Asian team and compete with other teams from around the world.
Today, not only Wang Gang came to familiarize himself with the venue, but also players from other countries.
The runway is not big, and Wang Gang can easily encounter his competitors.
Among them, a local Korean player named Lee Sang-quan is the favorite in this competition and has been widely reported by the local media.
Wang Gang always sees Li Xiangquan on the TV in the hotel, and it's hard not to recognize him.
As soon as Li Xiangquan arrived, his aura was very high. He was followed by several staff members and assistants, shouting in front and behind, and went straight to Wang Gang's track.
"Have you finished using the track? Can it be used by our player Li Xiangquan?" A person who looked like an assistant ran up to Wang Gang and shouted in broken Chinese with a very bad attitude.
Wang Gang is wearing the national team uniform with the national flag on it, so it is easy to identify which country he is from.
"I still need to use it for five minutes. There is no one around, so you can use that channel." Wang Gang pointed to the empty runway next to him and said.
"Player Li Xiangquan will compete in the fourth lane the day after tomorrow." The assistant said politely: "Please cooperate."
Wang Gang frowned and said displeasedly: "I am also the fourth one, and the first one, and I arrived first. Don't your country understand what first-come, first-served is?"
The assistant felt a little angry when he saw that Wang Gang had no intention of giving way.
Over there, Li Xiangquan saw that the assistant had not been able to handle the matter for a long time, so he shouted in Korean.
The assistant's neck shrank, obviously a little afraid of Li Xiangquan.
The coaches ran over and advised Wang Gang: "Forget it, you are already familiar with it. Let them use the venue. After all, it is their own place. It will be detrimental to you if there is an intrusion."
Wang Gang gave the coaches a face and didn't argue with the Korean assistant. Li Xiangquan saw that Wang Gang finally gave in and couldn't help but proudly said something loudly in Korean.
"Anyway, if you lose the day after tomorrow, you have to go home. What's the use of being familiar with the venue."
Although the coaches didn't understand Korean, they understood Li Xiangquan's tone, which was definitely unfriendly.
Wang Gang stopped and turned to Li Xiangquan and said in Korean: "I hope you won't cry and go home to find your mother when you lose."
Li Xiangquan did not expect that Wang Gang could speak the native language. He was obviously stunned, and then became furious.
"What did you say!?" Li Xiangquan rushed towards Wang Gang, but was stopped by two assistants.
"Senior, don't have conflicts before the game, you will be banned."
Li Xiangquan finally endured it and decided to give Wang Gang a lesson on the day of the competition, hoping that he could survive until the finals.
Wang Gang sneered, and then went back to the hotel with the coaches to rest.
"Do you still understand Korean?" Coach Zhu asked curiously.
"I've learned a lot in the past two days." Wang Gang said nonchalantly.
"Who are you lying to? I think what you said is pretty good. You have been studying for several years, right?" Coach Zhu said, "What did that person just say?"
Wang Gang smiled and said, "Are you sure you want to know?"
The coaches raised their brows and said, "Anyway, I don't hear the tone of things being said well.
However, this Li Xiangquan is very good and has home court advantage. He is the favorite in this selection. I heard that he is also nicknamed the Asian Flying Man in his own country."
Wang Gang said: "He and I should not be in the same group. We will not meet until the finals."
The coaches nodded and said, "You are in the first group and he is in the second group."
Wang Gang changed the subject and asked: "Can I make long distance calls from the hotel phone?"
"Okay, the hotel expenses will be borne by the organizer. Do you want to call back to China?"
"There are some things that need to be contacted back home." Wang Gang nodded.
As soon as Wang returned to the hotel where he was staying, he made a call to Wei Shufang's canteen.
The call was quickly connected. When Wei Shufang heard that it was Wang Gang, she happily said: "Second top player, your competition is about to begin! We are cheering for you in Jinling."
"Second aunt, is my cousin here? I have something to do with him."
"Yes, there! Weimin doesn't know what's going on in the past two days, so he has been staying in the store." Wei Shufang said strangely.
"Ask your cousin to answer the phone." Wang Gang said with a smile.
"Wait a moment, he is next to you."
Qi Weimin grabbed the phone and glanced at his mother.
"You still have secrets from me!" Wei Shufang muttered and went about her own business.
"Have you not told your second aunt yet?" Wang Gang heard what Wei Shufang said.
"My dad didn't let me say it." Qi Weimin made sure his mother was far away and switched the phone receiver to one ear.
"My dad's test report came out and it was confirmed that he has stage II liver cancer."
When Wang Gang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Stage II liver cancer is in the early and middle stages of cancer, and there is still hope of surgical cure. Qi Ziqiang’s illness is not yet hopeless.
"I will immediately find a way to transfer my uncle to the main hospital for treatment."
Qi Weimin hesitated and said: "Second Qiang, I heard from the doctor that my dad needs surgery for this disease, and the surgery fee is very expensive."
Wang Gang immediately knew what had happened and asked, "Is it because my uncle thinks the surgery is expensive and doesn't want to treat it?"
"Yes, my dad wants to save money for me to study in college." Qi Weimin said with a dry throat.
"What do you think?" Wang Gang asked.
"Even if I don't study in this university, my father's disease still needs to be cured." Qi Weimin said righteously.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "That's alright. Don't worry about money. We can't make up for it. In short, nothing is more important than life."
"Thank you, Erqiang." Qi Weimin choked with sobs.
"Wait for my news." Wang Gang hung up the phone and immediately went to coach Zhu to tell him about Qi Ziqiang.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Is your uncle so ill?" Coach Zhu also knows that cancer is not a trivial matter.
"Coach, I want my uncle to go to the main hospital for surgery. Do you have any ideas?" Wang Gang asked.
The coaches looked embarrassed. He was just a small coach of the sports team. How could he have the ability to arrange people to enter the * General Hospital?
"I will discuss this matter with the leader. Please wait for me for a while."
The coaches also knew that Wang Gang was about to compete and nothing could go wrong at this juncture, so they immediately made a call to China.
An hour later, the coaches came to Wang Gang with smiles on their faces.
"I told the leaders about your matter, and they took it very seriously. They immediately sent someone to your uncle's house to offer condolences, and they will find a way to arrange for him to go to the main hospital for treatment."
"Thank you, coach." Wang Gang was overjoyed and asked, "I don't know which leader arranged it. I have to thank him personally when I get back."
"You can prepare for the game with peace of mind. Don't think about other things for now." The coaches comforted her.
Wang Gang nodded and immediately called Qi Weimin to tell him the good news and asked him to go home and prepare. It was also time to tell Wei Shufang the truth.
After Qi Weimin hung up the phone, he went to his mother anxiously and told the whole story about his father's illness.
Wei Shufang burst into tears when she learned that her husband was so seriously ill and needed surgery. The Qi family was in turmoil.
Later, two people did come to Qi's home to express condolences to Qi Ziqiang on behalf of the sports team, and arranged for him to be admitted to the main hospital for treatment.
After the director of the general hospital examined Qi Ziqiang, he said that his disease can be treated through surgery, and the chance of success is very high. However, the cost of surgery is also high, which may cost several thousand yuan. Plus the subsequent medical expenses, tens of thousands of yuan will definitely be needed.
.
The Qi family is an ordinary working-class family. They have some savings, but not much, and they still need to support Qi Weimin in college.
Qi Ziqiang and Wei Shufang were immediately stumped by the huge cost of surgery.
Just when Wei Shufang was frowning, Qiao Yicheng went to the hospital with 4,000 yuan and gave it directly to Wei Shufang.
"10%, I can't take this money." Wei Shufang's eyes turned red when she saw the money.
"Second aunt, this money was earned by the second strongman from fishing, and he said he would use it to treat his uncle." Qiao Yicheng forced the money into Wei Shufang's arms.
"I know how much money your family has." Wei Shufang was moved and said: "You gave us the money, so your family can't live well!"
Qi Ziqiang, who was in the hospital bed, didn't want the Qiao family's money either.
"The top two said that this money is considered a loan and will be paid back when Qi Weimin graduates from university and works!" Qiao Yicheng joked: "The interest will be calculated!"
"As for our family, now the top two earn a monthly salary, and I can make some money tutoring others. Plus my father's salary, life will definitely be fine."
"That won't work either." Qi Ziqiang said anxiously: "There is no elder who wants money from the younger generation. Take the money back quickly."
Qi Weimin also said: "Yes! We are very grateful that the second strong man can arrange for my dad to be admitted to the main hospital for treatment."
Qi Ziqiang and Wei Shufang nodded in agreement at the same time.
Qiao Yicheng said: "Second aunt, uncle, you have helped our family a lot over the years. Not to mention four thousand yuan, if I had forty thousand, I would have to borrow this money!"
Qi Ziqiang and Wei Shufang looked at each other, feeling very moved and speechless for a long time.
Four thousand yuan is indeed not a small amount. In this era when households with ten thousand yuan are rare, no one dares to say that they can afford it.
