The School Beauty's Super Rogue-Chapter 797 - 794 Director Wang Also Wants to Play Landlord
Actually, Wang Weiyin said they must defeat Kevin.
But in reality, that was just a spur-of-the-moment comment out of anger; it can’t be taken seriously.
Putting aside external factors, objectively speaking, after witnessing Qin Hao’s talent, Wang Weiyin felt that this person was a once-in-a-century prodigy, who might bear the weight of changing the fate of sprinting in Asia.
Of course, that would all take time to develop.
He only hoped that this battle could be used to train and inspire Qin Hao’s potential and fighting spirit, laying a foundation for the future of sprinting.
If one had to pinpoint a real goal.
Wang Weiyin just hoped Qin Hao could make it to the finals, even if he just barely scraped by.
However, the surprise came too suddenly.
First place in the semifinals, outperforming many renowned athletes.
Such a result left everyone stunned.
"It seems my urging and scolding were effective. Xiaojie really put in the effort in the semifinals!"
Wang Weiyin smugly looked at his mouth, thinking: The finals are approaching, Xiaojie needs some polishing to reach his full potential; I must be there to remind him.
So, he turned and headed to the Huaxia sprint team’s lounge.
In no time, Director Wang familiarly arrived at the door.
The lounge door was very solid, completely covering the sounds inside.
However, some faint noises still seeped through, vaguely sounding like the team members were cheering each other on.
"Hey, the atmosphere seems good, they should be encouraging each other..."
Wang Weiyin felt even more gratified, reached out and pushed the door open, and after seeing the situation inside, his smile froze instantly, unable to take a step inside.
Wang Biao threw out two cards: "A pair of Aces!"
Xu Lan, having been silent for a while, was about to play his cards when Wang Biao got anxious: "Brother Lan, can’t you see we’re on the same side!"
Xu Lan touched his head: "I forgot, we’re the peasants, Qin Hao is the landlord!"
Qin Hao chuckled and said: "Xu Lan, you can’t even play ’Fight the Landlord,’ you’re hardly a man."
Xu Lan looked ashamed: "I’ll learn more from Brother Hao in the future."
"Good boy."
Qin Hao played his cards: "Pair of 2s!"
"Damn!"
In the bewildered state of Wang Biao and Xu Lan, Qin Hao finished all his cards.
"No wonder Brother Hao said on TV he wanted to play cards with us..."
"Turns out he’s such an expert!"
"I’ve already lost three hundred!"
The team members all shared wry smiles. After Qin Hao returned, he did nothing but say, "The finals are too hard to wait for, let’s play cards first."
The team members, thrilled and excited, couldn’t possibly refuse the hero’s request, right?
So they took turns, each losing a bit of money.
"Ahem..."
Amidst the chaotic chatter, a somewhat awkward voice came from outside the door.
Everyone realized that a teammate was purposely hinting, their gaze fixed outside the door.
Everyone looked again, and upon seeing the person at the door, they were so startled they stood up.
"Director Wang!"
"Good evening, Director Wang!"
Various flattery sounded, and Wang Weiyin forcefully controlled his emotion, turning the stiff smile into an expressionless face.
Entering the room, the first thing he did was glare fiercely at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao chuckled: "Director Wang, care to join us for a few hands?"
"Pfft!"
A teammate spat their drink out; isn’t that just asking for it? Brother Hao, your courage is way too bold!
Wang Weiyin was speechless, partly because he was angry and partly because he was frustrated.
Qin Hao, you’re a big name now, yet you don’t restrain yourself. Acting out in front of the cameras is one thing, but coming back to the lounge to play cards with your teammates?
It’s not that you can’t play cards, but you need to choose the right time!
Now, with just an hour until your competition, you’re not warming up or training, but playing cards?
What frustrated Wang Weiyin even more was that the usually proud teammates now all treated Qin Hao as their big brother.
Especially Xu Lan, who was initially an old-fashioned guy.
Didn’t eat barbecue, didn’t play video games, never showed a good attitude, didn’t enjoy with others.
Today, though, he seemed like a different person.
Constantly calling out "Brother Hao" this and "Brother Hao" that, even learning ’Fight the Landlord’?
Wang Weiyin found the scene before him truly unbearable, wishing it was just a simple dream.
However, this wasn’t a dream. Qin Hao walked over, "Why is Director Wang just standing there, care to join us for a few hands?"
Wang Weiyin wanted to angrily toss the cards in Qin Hao’s face but found he couldn’t.
Because this card-playing ghost in front of him is Huaxia’s current hope in athletics, and possibly a future icon in the sports world.
It’s said that unpolished jade won’t become an artifact, but seeing Qin Hao, this peerless gem, Director Wang truly couldn’t bear to be harsh!
"Forget it, the finals are near; a good scolding might affect Qin Hao’s mindset. Anyway, since he’s completed this session’s task, consider this a simple reward for him."
Thinking this, Wang Weiyin sat on a bench, noticing the team’s expressions of fear, and smiled slightly: "Why are you all just standing there? Come play!"
After overcoming their shock, the team members thought speechlessly: "Is this still our strict and impartial Director Wang?"
9:40 PM.
The 100-meter sprint final is about to begin.
As the world’s most popular track and field event, the sprint final undoubtedly garners a lot of attention.
Right now, the number of viewers waiting in front of their TVs is incalculable. It’s predictable that whoever wins will dominate the sports headlines of various countries for some time.
Before the competition began, many journalists and media workers started to play their part.
After the publicity, people began to understand how important this world championship is.
First of all, among those who advanced to the semifinals, not a single person had a time slower than ten seconds.
Secondly, this championship is a crucial step for Kevin to become a triple crown winner. Winning the title would surpass the double crown achievement of past predecessors.
Lastly, of the eight athletes, seven are renowned sports figures, all multiple championship winners in major competitions.
Only one is an exception, never having appeared on the world stage. Even after meticulous investigation by the media, it was found that this person had never even participated in domestic competitions in Huaxia.
A dark horse, an unprecedented dark horse.
Making it to the finals is one thing, but this dark horse is also ranked first?
With so many talking points, it’s hard for this competition not to attract attention.
Athletes entered the stadium, all eight of them tall and strong.
Based on performance, Qin Hao was unsurprisingly placed in the fourth lane.
Compared to athletes, his body showed less exaggerated muscles but appeared more slender and lively, like a finely crafted work of art in the eyes of Huaxia people.
The pre-race introduction continued, with more deafening cheers than in previous races.
After all, those standing here are the fastest people on this planet.
The commentators introduced them one by one, the first few athletes slightly raised their arms, drawing a wave of cheers.
When the camera landed on Qin Hao’s face, he flashed a toothy smile, and even without any actions, the already noisy venue became even more explosive.
