As soon as Wang Gang's plane landed, he found a lot of people standing outside, almost all of them coming to greet the national team.
Although the national team ranked tenth in the number of medals at the Seoul Olympics this time, the gold medal Wang Gang won was too valuable and broke the world record three times. It was considered a huge victory.
A grand celebration event has been arranged in China, and Yang Ma also arranged an interview for Wang Gang. All award-winning athletes from the national team will participate, but Wang Gang is the absolute protagonist.
Wang Gang has to stay in the capital for a while. His interview tasks are fully scheduled and he will not be able to return to Jinling until a week later.
Wang Gang was delayed for four hours from the airport to the hotel. He deeply felt the enthusiasm of the people in the capital. Just a few people could not take the flowers they received.
After returning to the hotel, he only had three hours to rest, and he had to go to the TV station for an interview in the evening.
Wang Gang originally wanted to call home, but as soon as he picked up the phone, the hotel doorbell rang.
He thought he was a friend of the national team, but when Wang Gang opened the door, he was stunned.
"Sanli, why are you here?"
The person standing at the door turned out to be Qiao Sanli.
"Second brother." Qiao Sanli gave Wang Gang a hug directly.
Then Wang Gang saw Xiang Nanfang behind Qiao Sanli.
Xiang Nanfang put his hands behind his back with a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of Wang Gang.
"How did you come to the capital?"
The surprise came so suddenly that Wang Gang couldn't react.
Qiao Sanli let go of Wang Gang and said, "I came to the Capital Institute of Physical Education to take an exam. Sister Nanfang sent me here."
Wang Gang looked at Xiang Nanfang.
Neither of them spoke, but their eyes were focused on each other. Silence was better than sound at this moment.
Qiao Sanli coughed, feeling like she was a light bulb here.
"Come in quickly!" Wang Gang came to his senses, welcomed Qiao Sanli and Xiang Nannan into the house, and poured them two glasses of water.
"Did you come by train?" Wang Gang said happily.
Qiao Sanli nodded and said, "Sister Nanfang bought me the sleeper ticket!"
Wang Gang turned to look at Xiang Nanfang and asked, "Why are you coming here together? There are no classes in school?"
Xiang Nanfang is a good student. He worked even harder after attending HKUST and didn't even arrive late or leave early.
On the contrary, Wang Gang missed a lot of classes due to competition training. Fortunately, he and Xiang Nanfang studied the same major, and usually relied on Xiang Nanfang's notes to avoid failing the course.
"The school arranged for me to come to Capital University of Science and Technology for exchange and study. It happened that Sanli was also coming to the Physical Education Institute to take exams, so we came together and had someone to look after us on the way." Xiang Nanfang said playfully, "Don't you welcome us?"
"How is it possible? It's too late for me to be happy." Wang Gang said with a smile: "How long do you want to communicate? If the time is enough, we can have fun in the capital."
Xiang Nanfang said: "The exchange will take about a month! I am usually very busy, but I may have some time on Sundays."
Wang Gang said happily: "It just so happens that I am free this Sunday, so we can go to the Forbidden City together."
Qiao Sanli couldn't stand listening, and pouted and said: "Second brother, in your eyes, you only have Sister Nanfang, but you don't even have a sister like me."
Seeing Qiao Sanli's jealous look, Wang Gang smiled and said, "When is your exam at the Physical Education Institute? I'll go with you when I'm free."
"How dare I ask you, an Olympic champion, to accompany me in the exam? You should stay with Sister Nanfang!" Qiao Sanli pretended to be angry.
Wang Gang took out a pair of dance shoes from his bag and said, "I originally wanted you to wear the new dance shoes I bought for you when you take the exam, but it seems you won't need them."
When Qiao Sanli saw the dancing shoes, she couldn't pretend anymore and snatched them away.
"For the sake of you remembering to bring me a gift, I will give you a chance." Qiao Sanli said with a smile.
"Have you eaten?" Wang Gang asked with concern.
"No, we heard that you came to see you when you returned to the hotel. We didn't even have time to have lunch." Qiao Sanli said.
"You also stay in this hotel?" Wang Gang asked.
"My dad arranged it." Xiang Nanfang said, "Sanli and I share a room."
Wang Gang suddenly realized that the hotel he stayed in was quite special and not everyone could stay there. Without Xiang's father's help, Xiang Nanfang and Qiao Sanli would not have been able to move in.
"Let's go eat. What do you want to eat?" Wang Gang suggested.
"I want to eat Quanjude's roast duck and see how it is different from our Jinling roast duck." Qiao Sanli said excitedly.
Wang Gang looked at the time. It was still three hours before the interview. It was no problem to have a meal.
"Okay, let's go eat roast duck. I'll let you eat as much as you want today."
Xiang Nanfang doesn't care about food. As long as she can be with her boyfriend, she is happy.
Wang Gang put on a hat, left the hotel with his girlfriend and sister, and went to Quanjude for a date.
They were recognized as soon as they arrived at the hotel. Wang Gang was so popular recently, and the TV was full of news about him. Even though he was wearing a hat, he was still recognized by the waiter.
"Comrade Qiao, can I take a photo with you?" Quanjude's store manager ran over and asked.
Wang Gang looked helplessly at his girlfriend and sister, his eyes full of apologies, he couldn't even finish a meal.
"Go ahead! Let's order first." Xiang Nanfang said softly.
The Quanjude store manager borrowed a camera and took a photo with Wang Gang. When taking the photo, Wang Gang could only take off his hat. This was a serious situation.
When many guests in the hotel saw Wang Gang, they all came over to ask for photos and autographs.
Wang Gang was surrounded by people for a while and could not return to the table for a long time.
By the time he returned to the table, the food Xiang Nanfang and Qiao Sanli had ordered was already cold.
"Second brother, you are too popular!" Qiao Sanli exclaimed.
"The Olympics have just ended. Just wait until the heat subsides."
Wang Gang was also made to sweat by the enthusiasm of the people in the capital.
"The store manager just came over and said that this meal is free of charge." Xiang Nanfang said with a smile: "We will come out with you and get the benefit of the money, and we won't have to pay for the meal."
Wang Gang took out the money and put it under the plate, and said, "I still have to give you the money. It just so happens that I just got a bonus."
In these years of participating in competitions, Wang Gang has received a lot of bonuses, including from the country, the province, and the team. In short, he is not short of money for the time being.
"I know you are rich. Our expenses in the capital are entirely dependent on you, second brother." Qiao Sanli was not polite to Wang Gang either.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After dinner, Wang Gang took Xiang Nanfang and Qiao Sanli to the TV station. He participated in the interview, and Xiang Nanfang and Qiao Sanli visited the TV station.
The station also specially arranged a female intern to accompany Xiang Nanfang and Qiao Sanli.
The interview ended in about two hours. It was already dark when we came out, so the station arranged a car to take Wang Gang and the three of them back to the hotel.
Qiao Sanli was tired and went back to her room first. Wang Gang took Xiang Nanfang back to his room.
As soon as he entered the room, Wang Gang couldn't bear it anymore, hugged Xiang Nanfang and kissed him.
Including training and competitions, the young couple hadn't seen each other for half a year. It was really a thunderbolt, and they were out of control.
But in the end, Wang Gang resisted the urge and just sat on the sofa with Xiang Nanfang in his arms. He didn't do anything else but talk about things at home, school, and the team.
Couples in love have endless things to talk about, and Xiang Nanfang also enjoys the time alone with Wang Gang.
"The school teacher asked me if I should prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination?"
"Do you want to continue your studies?" Wang Gang asked.
"My dad means that after I graduate from my bachelor's degree, he will arrange for me to work as an intern at the company." Xiang Nanfang shook his head.
Wang Gang nodded and said, "What do you mean?"
Xiang Nannan struggled: "I didn't think about it. I might get busy after work, and you have to train again, so we will have less time to spend together."
Wang Gang joked: "Do you still want to compare your postgraduate entrance examination scores with me?"
Xiang Nanfang lightly hit Wang Gang on the chest and said, "I knew a long time ago that I would never be able to catch up with you in this life."
"Who said that?" Wang Gang kissed Xiang Nannan on the face and said, "You will have many opportunities to overwhelm me in the future."
Xiang Nanfang didn't understand what Wang Gang meant and looked at him with confusion?
Wang Gang whispered something in Xiang Nannan's ear, which immediately made her speechless with embarrassment.
After joking around for a while, Xiang Nannan said seriously: "I want to work after graduation and apply what I have learned."
"I support you. You majored in urban and rural planning. Now is the time when our country is making great strides in development. Your major is just right for you and you have great potential," Wang Gang said.
"What about you?" Xiang Nanfang asked.
"I want to retire now, but the leader won't agree!" Wang Gang said with a wry smile:
"I plan to continue studying and training at the same time, and don't even think about retiring before I'm thirty."
The coaches had already greeted him. The leaders hoped that he would participate in two more Olympic Games to bring glory to the country. Wang Gang could not refuse.
"After you graduate, let's get engaged first!" Wang Gang said to Xiang Nanfang: "I'm worried that when you get to work, you will meet a better man and kick me."
"How can there be a better man than you in this world?" Xiang Nanfang said infatuatedly.
Xiang Nannan has long realized that he can't live without Wang Gang in this life.
She has always identified this man who is both civil and military in her life.
Xiang Nanfang took the initiative to kiss Wang Gang.
