Chapter 7, Chapter 7

Tang Yibai did not even furrow his brows, "You all."

These words spoken by Tang Yibai made Qi Ruifeng feel secretly pleased, but on the surface, he still pretended to be sincere and said, "You still have Zheng Lingye."

Having finished watching, she found yet another unreachable genius. Yun Duo, an ordinary person, felt rather uninterested. She put away her phone and continued eating wontons. Teacher Sun was somewhat excited, picking noodles with his chopsticks while secretly glancing at Lin Zi, his gaze quite fervent. Lin Zi's mental fortitude was as strong as steel; under such a gaze, he calmly finished a bowl of lamb paomo, feeling a bit unsatisfied, so he ordered another bowl.

The clouds evoke a sense that is hard to behold. She glanced at Teacher Sun and found him beaming with joy, rubbing his hands together, and cautiously asking, "You are the stock market guru Lin Zi, aren't you?"

"No, I cannot. I have always been pragmatic," Tang Yibai said, sitting upright with his fingers crossed on his knees, appearing relaxed, embodying the demeanor of an experienced official at a meeting. He continued, "With Zhao Yue, with tomorrow, and with you, if you can't even win a domestic competition, it would be better to collectively commit harakiri.

Qi Ruifeng suddenly felt a bit sad, "Tang Yibai."

The cloud was even more puzzled, "Who? Which 'he'?"

Tang Yibai's gaze was gentle yet resolute. He smiled, the corners of his lips curving into a very pleasing arc, "Without a doubt, I will."

The journalist you confronted today is quite familiar with the deputy editor and Director Liu from our editorial center. I don't think that journalist is easy to deal with; I estimate that we won't even have to wait until we return, as Director Liu will likely already be aware of this matter. You... you should prepare yourself mentally

A few people were chatting when they looked over at Ming Tian by the swimming pool, who was still talking to the reporters. ... Ming Tian has a hobby: he enjoys being interviewed ... . ... This guy particularly loves to speak freely in front of the reporters, and at this moment, even the staff came over to persuade them to disperse, yet Ming Tian was still reluctant to part ways, engaging in a lively conversation with the reporters.

The next day's competition did not feature Qi Ruifeng and Tang Yibai, but there was that minor who was set to swim the men's 100-meter breaststroke. Yun Duo observed him in the pool, his legs kicking rhythmically, resembling a frog. This frog led from the preliminaries to the semifinals, and in the finals, he won the gold medal with a significant advantage. The entire race was particularly smooth, lacking any thrilling moments, akin to an elderly lady leisurely shopping.

Lin Zi swallowed the food in his mouth at a leisurely pace and replied, "I am not a stock god"

This fool! Qi Ruifeng facepalmed

However, at this moment, this supermodel is happily enjoying a large bowl of lamb paomo.

Meanwhile, in the special audience section designated by the organizers, Tang Yibai and Qi Ruifeng sat side by side among their teammates, observing the situation below. For them, winning the gold medal tomorrow was hardly in doubt, and Qi Ruifeng even yawned out of boredom.

Compared to Qi Ruifeng, Tang Yibai is practically brimming with topics of discussion. Although his fame does not match that of Qi Ruifeng, the numerous sensational topics surrounding him are sufficient to attract considerable attention. Moreover, his achievements are indeed noteworthy; the explosive performance he delivered in the final leg of the relay is rare across Asia and certainly deserves to be highlighted.

Yun Duo felt that Lin Zi's expression of "try it" was indeed too subtle; he should have said "try try try try try try try try try try"

Youth signifies the ability to make mistakes; when one falls, one simply gets back up. However, for him, Tang Yibai, there would be no more opportunities to err, he could no longer afford to fall.

During the interval while waiting for the meal, Teacher Sun secretly said to Yun Duo, "Yun Duo, there is one thing I must remind you of."

Indeed, after some contemplation, Zheng Lingye merely uttered a platitude: "Brother Bai is right"

Hmm. Tang Yibai nodded slightly, then looked towards Ming Tian, his gaze filled with satisfaction. Ming Tian finally agreed to leave, but one can imagine how he will torment the media again when he steps down from the podium.

Yun Duo initially believed that Teacher Sun would feature Qi Ruifeng as the headline, after all, he is a die-hard fan of Qi Ruifeng. However, upon reviewing the manuscript, it turned out to be Tang Yibai. In this article, Teacher Sun elaborated in detail on Tang Yibai's eye-catching performance in the swimming pool, delving deeply into the coexistence of light and darkness in Tang Yibai's history, professionally analyzing the advantages and disadvantages he possesses, and optimistically predicting that he will become another shining star in China's swimming arena.

It is truly a headache

Then begin to eat

Well, he can manage to say five words in one breath, which is already quite a favor to Tang Yibai

No," Lin Zi shook his head and got up to sit at the table with Yun Duo and the others. "I heard that the lamb paomo at this restaurant is very delicious, so I wanted to give it a try

In this competition, both of them will represent their respective provincial teams, and they will both swim the final leg of the freestyle. This situation is quite similar to yesterday's 4X100 meter freestyle. Upon hearing Qi Ruifeng's question, Tang Yibai lightly shook his head and casually replied, "I have no thoughts on that"

Thus, he spoke these words with a tone full of envy; rather than saying he admires tomorrow, it is more accurate to say that he is actually reminiscing about his sixteen years of age

Teacher Sun seemed to be frozen in place as if someone had pressed a pressure point on him, unable to speak for a long time. He sluggishly turned his neck to look behind him. The person speaking had already turned to face them; who else could it be but Lin Zi

The cloud rubbed its temples and said, "I understand now, thank you, Teacher Sun"

The steaming beef ramen was served, and Teacher Sun picked up his chopsticks, saying, "Alright, alright, no need to think too much, let's eat first, I'm starving."

Qie! Qi Ruifeng suddenly felt bored, "Can't you say something grand for me to refute?"

Zheng Lingye and Tang Yibai come from the same provincial team and are also part of the national team. He is considered the strongest male butterfly swimmer in China after Tang Yibai. At this moment, upon hearing Qi Ruifeng mention this name, Tang Yibai turned his face to someone beside him and said, "Lingye, what do you think?"

Qi Ruifeng gently guided, "Who do you think will be the champion?"

The young man sitting beside him was Zheng Lingye. Zheng Lingye joined the national team late and was not good at expressing himself. Although his performance was commendable, his presence had always been weak when he was around Qi Ruifeng and Tang Yibai. At this moment, upon hearing Tang Yibai's question, he furrowed his brows in contemplation. Although he appeared wise and insightful, neither Tang Yibai nor Qi Ruifeng had any illusions about his profound remarks.

However, some people call me that Lin Zi said as she buried her head and continued to eat

The cloud quietly rolled its eyes.

Qi Ruifeng looked at Tang Yibai in profile. He suddenly realized that although Tang Yibai was a year younger than him, he was more qualified to express such sentiments. ... They had once agreed to stand together on the Olympic podium; he had achieved that, while Tang Yibai had not ...

He spoke so casually, but Teacher Sun and Yunduo were still a bit taken aback, especially Teacher Sun, who was almost startled. Yunduo saw a waiter approaching with a large bowl, and Lin Zi raised a finger towards the waiter, who then came over to place the bowl in front of him

City Z is an inland city in the north, where the predominant culinary culture revolves around a variety of noodle dishes. Yun Duo, a girl from the rice and fish-rich Jiangnan region, has been flipping through the thin menu repeatedly and finally ordered a serving of fresh shrimp wontons. Teacher Sun, on the other hand, ordered a bowl of beef hand-pulled noodles.

Tang Yibai's gaze remained calm, yet his tone could not conceal a hint of envy, "Indeed, being young is truly wonderful"

Generally speaking, the title of "the fastest swimmer in the world" is exclusively reserved for the men's 100-meter freestyle event. Men swim faster than women, and freestyle is swifter than all other strokes, with the 100 meters being the most spectacular and dazzling competition. Therefore, "the fastest swimmer in the world" can only refer to the world champion of the men's 100-meter freestyle.

Tang Yibai looked at the electronic screen, "His grades..."

Throughout Asia, there has never been an individual capable of receiving this honor

Still making progress, and will continue to improve in the future, Qi Ruifeng responded

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Teacher Sun showed the carefully written front-page headline to Yunduo. Of course, the so-called headline was merely his subjective intention; ultimately, which one would be chosen for the front page still depended on the decision of the editorial office

After he emerged from the water, the clouds rushed to interview him. Before she could ask her question, Tomorrow spoke up first: "Sister, am I handsome? Am I great? Do you like me?"

I said, "After Qi Ruifeng finished yawning, he said to Tang Yibai, 'What are your thoughts on the upcoming 4X100 meter medley relay?"

Oh. The clouds nodded slightly. The relationships among media professionals are intricate; offending one person is tantamount to offending a whole group. Moreover, what she did today clearly violated industry taboos, and it is easy to imagine that she will face a severe reprimand upon her return.

Just as Yun Duo was about to speak, a cold voice suddenly came from behind Teacher Sun, "Did you call me?"

Hmm?

After finishing the manuscript, the two of them left the hotel together and found a small restaurant nearby to have a late-night snack

You must become the fastest swimmer in the world. Qi Ruifeng's tone was very serious

Yun Duo was particularly curious but felt too shy to gossip about others in front of them, so she secretly searched for information on her phone. Indeed, there was information about Lin Zi online, but most of it was vague and the sources were questionable. From these rumors, Yun Duo pieced together a few basic credible points: First, this person seems to be involved in a wide range of trading, including stocks, futures, and foreign exchange... In short, he appears to trade everything except for cooking; Second, he seems to have an undefeated track record; Third, this individual previously operated in the United States, occasionally roaming around Europe and Asia, and suddenly returned to the country three years ago, where he has been developing ever since.

In fact, the reasoning is quite simple. Although Qi Ruifeng is relatively well-known, for an Olympic champion, a domestic competition held once a year is too small a stage. Regardless of the results achieved in such a competition, they would not come as a surprise. Therefore, this time, reporters flocked to Qi Ruifeng for gossip, but unfortunately, Qi Ruifeng has become more astute. His arrogance remains as pronounced as ever, yet he kept his lips sealed, revealing no significant information worth speculating about.

Such words, when spoken by a twenty-two-year-old, sound more like a joke. However, Tang Yibai knew that Qi Ruifeng was not joking. For most professional athletes, twenty-two is considered a peak age. Peak means limits, it means that the room for improvement is infinitely compressed. Tomorrow at sixteen is like a well-watered seedling, growing at a visibly rapid pace every day. In contrast, at twenty-two, Qi Ruifeng needs to exert tremendous effort to achieve even the slightest progress, as breaking through limits becomes essential.

The cloud quickly understood these matters and then looked at Teacher Sun with admiration, saying, "I have learned a lot!"

Teacher Sun's chin is almost about to fall off

The cloud was somewhat incredulous, "Teacher Sun, have you already moved on so quickly?"

What is it? Teacher Sun, please speak your mind.

Qi Ruifeng suddenly exclaimed: "Being young is truly wonderful!"

The cloud forgot to eat its own dumplings, merely gazing blankly at this person. The autumn night is relatively cold, and he has already changed into a long-sleeved shirt, with the buttons at the collar and cuffs neatly fastened. He possesses perfect shoulders, a tall and slender figure, sharply defined facial features, exquisite features, an elegant demeanor, and a languid expression. At this moment, sitting casually, he resembles a supermodel just stepping off a top fashion runway, exuding an extraordinary charm. He possesses perfect shoulders, a tall and slender figure, sharply defined facial features, exquisite features, an elegant demeanor, and a languid expression. At this moment, sitting casually, he resembles a supermodel just stepping off a top fashion runway, exuding an extraordinary charm.

The cloud could not help but cover its mouth in astonishment, "This young hero, you must belong to the summoning beast, right?"

Teacher Sun's eyes sparkled again

Oh... Teacher Sun is a bit disappointed

Lin Zi, the one we met today, Lin Zi!

After a moment, the wontons from Yunduo were served. She scooped up a wonton, blew on it to cool it down, and took a bite. It was fresh, smooth, and crispy, truly delicious! Yunduo was indeed very hungry, quickly forgetting about everything else and focusing intently on eating the wontons

The cloud shivered in fright, nearly choking on a wonton. After coughing for quite a while, she asked Teacher Sun, "What do you know?"

While eating, Teacher Sun suddenly exclaimed, "I know!" as if he had remembered something.

I know who he is now

Teacher Sun said earnestly, "I chose Tang Yibai as the headline because Tang Yibai is indeed more suitable for the headline. We pursue our idols with personal feelings, but when it comes to journalism, we must have a journalistic perspective"
