Run Out of My Life

    September 30, 2002, the day before the National Day.

    Early in the morning, Su Zu was kicked out of the competition management center by Li Zhizhong. There is no training today and a day off.

    The reason is that after his new student status fell to the No. 8 Middle School in Hedao City, the relevant registration procedures for himself have been delayed for a month. Know when.

    Hedao No. 8 Middle School is a key middle school in the province. Every year, there are 10 or 20 people admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, especially in the quality competition. He has won many medals in domestic and foreign competitions, and there are also many students who have the title of first-level athletes and national athletes.

    Su Zu's student status was successfully attached to the No. 8 Middle School. In addition to the administrative relationship of education in Hedao City, one aspect was also the school's willingness to accept this kind of sports special talent.

    The distance between the Jingguan Center and Hedao No. 8 Middle School is not too far. When he went out, he wanted to directly ride Li Zhizhong's motorcycle. At this time, there was no motorcycle ban on the island. In recent years, the only thing that can run on the road with two wheels is the electric vehicle.

    However, Coach Li was thinking of safety, so Su Zu gave up this extravagant hope, and had to travel two buses to get there.

    Just at the entrance of the campus, Su Zu was about to ask the guard in the security room where the freshmen were registered. As a result, he was pushed out after a few words.

    "You said you came to the school to report. It's been a month since the school started. Where did you sign up? Go in, you are really going too far, I have deducted the bonus for two months."

    The security guard is an uncle in his 40s and 50s, with a cold face, an expression that I have seen through you.

    At this time, it is still in the ascendant to hold training courses in China, but it has already begun to see the scale. A lot of training institutions, small studios, small private schools, etc., block the gates of primary and secondary schools every day to distribute flyers. Hedao No. 8 Middle School is under closed management, outsiders are not allowed to enter the school, and students are only allowed to leave the school on Fridays a week. There are often some training institutions looking for on-campus teachers and students to develop agents, recommending students to sign up for rebates, or just mixing in with a few people, posting a lecture opening poster on the bulletin board, and throwing a wave of flyers in the cafeteria.

    Su Zu stood at the door and was dumbfounded. He explained again and again: "I'm really a student of the school, a sports student. I didn't have time to report for a game before."

    The security guard shook his head in disbelief at all. It seemed that he had been fooled a lot. He spread his hands and said, "You said that you are a student of No. 8 Middle School, then which class are you and who is the head teacher? You I'll let you in if you're right."

    Su Zu was also speechless when asked by the security guard. I came to the school on the first day to report. I didn’t know which class it was. I wanted to ask Li Zhizhong about the specific situation that Wen Rongguang arranged , only to find that he didn't remember their numbers at all. He doesn't have a cell phone yet.

      After a few waves of people coming and going, Su Zu finally met an acquaintance. The female teacher Xu Wenqing who participated in the Chinese Games last time, Su Zucai successfully entered the school under her leadership.

      Go to the school cafeteria for breakfast. There are runners on the playground and some play ball.

    The school hardware facilities of Hedao No. 8 Middle School are also not bad. The comprehensive teaching building, library, gymnasium, scientific laboratory building, and dormitory building are not much better than the average university.

    Su Zu waited for a while in the administrative office building. After he went to work, he ran to several offices of the Admissions Office and the Academic Affairs Office, and then the registration was done.

    During the period, there was a dean of academic affairs who learned about his situation and came over to encourage him, especially after hearing that Su Zu had already won the first prize, he also promised to give a bonus.

    Su Zu smiled and didn't take it seriously, but if there was a bonus, of course he would be happy to accept it. However, he is now a professional athlete, mainly for the sake of his student status, and he takes things in the school a lot lightly.

    When he finished all the formalities, it was almost class time, and he didn't stay much.

    When he was going out, the security guard who had been blocking the door was very surprised and opened the door for him, "You are really a student of No. 8 Middle School, aren't you in class? If you are in class, I can't let you out, you have to There is a leave of absence."

    "If I don't have class, I have to train." Su Zu briefly explained the sentence, without embarrassing others. It's all work for a living, nothing to argue about.

    After leaving school, Su Zu did not go back to the Jingguan Center directly, but went to the mall in the city center.

    What happened just now at the gate of the school reminded him that he should buy a mobile phone quickly. At this time, the mobile phone is really the function of making calls and sending text messages.

    His pockets are no longer in a clean state, and he already has some savings. In the Youth Invitational Tournament I participated in the sports school before, the first 100 meters won a bonus of 2,000 yuan, and the sports school later awarded another 1,000 yuan.

    After joining the Hedao City team, the National Middle School Students Games won the 100-meter championship, the Hedao City Education Bureau rewarded them with 5,000 yuan, and the Competition Management Center rewarded them with 5,000 yuan.

    This time the champion of the National Athletics Grand Prix sub-site is 30,000 yuan, and the competition management center will award another 10,000 yuan. The prize money of the track and field Grand Prix is ​​relatively considerable. The contestants range from 30,000 yuan in the first place to hundreds of dollars in the final 50th place.

    The two bonuses of the sports school and the invitational competition are relatively small, and there is no tax deduction for the direct distribution. The subsequent bonuses are deducted 20% of the personal income tax of the bonus, and finally to Su Zu All of them add up to more than 40,000 points.

    The money is not much, but it is quite considerable. At this time, except for some electronic products and large electrical appliances, the overall relative price is also low. The house price in Hedao City at this time was only in the early 3,000s.

      phone card. Originally, he was thinking of buying one more for his parents, but he didn't have time to go back at this time. The price of electronic products such as mobile phones is also falling fast.

    And if the parents are willing, the prize money of these competitions will be enough for the parents to start-up funds and start a small business. If he doesn't want to, he is also going to give it directly to his parents. The money can make them laugh and make them feel at ease.

    As for other investment and financial management, one is that the money is still small, and the other is that his career has just begun, so he can't be impatient.

    Back to the competition management center, Su Zu looked around twice and found that no one in the coaching staff was there. I was going to go back to change clothes and continue training, but just halfway through, I saw a head popping out of the administrative building.

    "Su Zu, come up quickly." Wang Yuanbin poked his head from the administrative building and shouted loudly.

    Su Zu followed the voice, went to the administration building, and found the multi-functional projection room where Wang Yuanbin was probed, only to find that all three coaching staff members were there, and a group of people were surrounded by a huge 40-inch ass. Color TV. Before the LCD TV came out, this kind of color TV was considered high-end, and it was expensive, but it was too bulky, and it was not easy for one person to move it. There is also a multi-functional projection room on the side of the Competition Management Center.

    "What are you looking at?" Su Zu didn't know why.

    "Asian Games, you came just in time. Now it's the men's 100m preliminaries."

    Wang Yuanbin explained, on the other side Xu Zhikui raised his head to say hello to Su Zu, but Li Zhizhong did not respond at all, his eyes fixed on the TV.

    After listening to Wang Yuanbin's explanation, Su Zu remembered that this year was the 2002 Busan Asian Games.

    "I see, the Asian Games arena, if you go to the national team, you can play." Li Zhizhong did not turn his head and pointed to the big screen on the TV.

    Wang Yuanbin also nodded and said, "The first few preliminaries have average results, just a few naturalized players from Saudi Arabia and Japanese players are worth seeing. Chen Jian's state Not bad, I said, if you go, Su Zu, you might really win a medal."

    Speaking of this, Xu Zhikui on the side also looked at Su Zu several times with his glasses.

    Su Zu also feels a little pity, he really has a chance to win a medal when he goes to the Asian Games now, but he will not take it for Li Zhizhong and Wang Yuanbin.

    "Don't miss me, the Asian Games trials are over early, and I can't catch up with the national team. You want to see me participate in the Asian Games, in four years."
