Chapter 290 Gu's Hometown(1/2)
The plane landed and left Yubei Airport, Lin Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The journey was only a few hours, and after touching his wrist, which was still a little sore, Lin Mu couldn't help but grin when he recalled it, and all he had in his heart was a bitter smile.
He was recognized before boarding the plane. He was surrounded by a large number of people when he was waiting for the plane to sign. After signing, he no longer remembered how much he signed. It was not until he boarded the plane that he was freed with the help of the staff.
When we arrived on the plane, the situation was slightly better, but people would greet each other from time to time, even the flight attendants.
In fact, Lin Mu doesn't hate this feeling from the bottom of his heart. No one wants to be recognized by others. It just thinks that in the future, he may become the focus everywhere, which makes him feel a little nervous. He is not afraid of seeing people, but he is afraid of wasting time.
Another one can't help...
There are so many things that I can't do anything about these days, Lin Mu shook his head helplessly.
I got out of the airport and took a taxi. According to the address I wrote down, I ordered the driver to go to his destination.
...
At noon, a taxi stopped in front of a somewhat old residential community.
The car door opened, Lin Mu walked down, looked at the nameplate of the community, and after taking up his carry-on luggage, Lin Mu walked into the community.
In the early 1990s, there were very few doormen and security guards in such old communities. No one stopped him from asking. He looked around in the community.
A few minutes later, Lin Mu came to the front of a residential building in the community and rang the doorbell.
"Who are you……"
Ruddy footsteps came, the door opened, and a gray-haired woman opened the door.
Her face was rosy and kind-hearted. Even if she was full of wrinkles, she couldn't help but guess her youthful style.
The woman looked at the person who was confused at first, and she was sure she had never seen her before. But she was sure she must have known her.
It was only a few seconds before the old woman remembered that she had seen it last year and this year. But what always appeared was a loose sportswear. Although she had been to Yanjing's home last year, she came back to clean up and didn't meet it. Now she was wearing casual clothes in person, which made her unable to react.
A smile appeared on her face. Unexpectedly, she was really relieved and surprised that she could find her here.
"You are Teacher Chen, I am Lin Mu, is Mr. Gu at home?!"
Lin Mu smiled and said hello to the woman. He had never seen each other before, but he also knew something. In an old document, he also saw Mr. Gu and Mr. Chen taking a photo in the same frame beside the track of the stadium.
Chen Wanrong, Mr. Gu’s lover, in his 34-year coaching career, this person silently supported and contributed to resist all the family affairs. This is a person worthy of his respect.
"Yes, Xiaolin, you're very busy now, you're here to come and have a special trip!" Chen Wanrong led Lin Mu home enthusiastically. Before the person entered, he turned around and shouted at the house, "Lao Gu, don't watch the game replay, someone is coming?"
When Gu Heng heard the sound, although reluctant to leave, he still looked away at the TV. He slowly stood up from the sofa and looked towards the door.
In fact, the home is very small, but the old-fashioned house has kitchen and bathroom on both sides of the entrance, and there will be a short walkway from the entrance to the living room.
In a few seconds, when he saw the person coming into the living room, the originally a little impatient thing on his face disappeared instantly. A surprise smile filled his face.
"Haha, Xiaolin is here, hey, you just came back from Xiangjiang, right? Why did you come here?!"
"Old Gu, the event is over. I'm going to go home for a few days. Let's see you before I get home!"
Lin Mu looked at Mr. Gu excited, but he didn't explain anything extra. As for selling it well, there would be nothing else. Instead, he made a joke first.
"I'll call me before I come, so I'll ask someone to pick you up..." Mr. Gu was familiar with Lin Mu's style. He knew that Lin Mu wouldn't express any feelings when he saw him deliberately, so he didn't mention these things again.
In fact, they didn't work together for a long time, but Gu Heng always felt that they were very considerate. On the one hand, it might be because of his recommendation, and on the other hand, he felt a lot of resonance with them, such as sports people from Lin Mu.
Lin Mu smiled. He was also very relaxed in front of Mr. Gu, as he was his guide.
"Old Chen, go, call Gu Jie and ask him to come to have lunch at noon, and then said Xiaolin is here! You should also cook a few more dishes and put less greasy..." Gu Heng led Lin Mu to the sofa, shouted at his wife and didn't care. He now wanted to chat with Lin Mu, talk about the Olympics, and talk about their Chinese track and field sprints.
"Old Gu, don't be too troublesome, just be simple. I plan to stop leaving today, so I will just take it home!"
"Of course I won't leave. We both want to have a good chat today!" Mr. Gu looked at Lin Mu with great satisfaction.
After chatting for a while, Lin Mu pulled the suitcase in front of him, slowly opened the box, and seemed to be ready to get something while talking.
"What? Have you brought me something?"
Old Gu frowned, seeing Lin Mu's attitude was about to get something. He didn't think Lin Mu would pack his luggage in front of him.
"Xiaolin, it's good that you are here. Lao Gu has been talking about you a lot, but don't spend money to bring things. We have nothing to lack." Chen Wanrong walked out of the kitchen after a while, and said with a smile on her face.
Just like what she said, Gu Heng kept saying that she had listened to it too many times, and because she watched many athletes with him, she could see that her wife was very satisfied with Kobayashi, not only because she proved that he had a keen eye to recognize people.
"Teacher Chen, I don't know what I have to bring. Mr. Gu knows mine, and I can't bear to spend money. Haha!"
Mr. Gu saw Lin Mu saying something and cursed, "You kid, you are still the same as you don't know how to spend money. You should be a big money now. You earned a lot of bonuses this time, right?"
"It's a lot, maybe there are millions!"
In front of Mr. Gu, Lin Mu didn't hide anything. The real situation was that the total reward was 200,000 yuan, the center rewarded 100,000 yuan, Huizhou Province was preparing to reward 300,000 yuan, and there were hundreds of thousands of pieces of Xiangjiang trip. In fact, these were all open and didn't even need taxes.
There are many business aspects that can be imagined in his subsequent business aspects, as well as some of the athletes' business. Mr. Feng and Coach Yu in the team have already put it in the front and said that they should help him find someone to help him deal with it. He knew that he couldn't escape it. Of course, this is also something he has troubled.
"Millions, haha, think about it, this number is really scary. I remember that I only rewarded 40 yuan if I broke the record, so I felt amazing!"
Mr. Gu sighed a little. This number does sound quite large. But he didn't think there was anything. It was actually a good thing to encourage athletes in some interests. Times have changed, so we can't just rely on generating electricity for love.
"If you don't talk about this, Mr. Gu, come and take it!" Lin Mu took out the things in his luggage, and smiled and handed them to Mr. Gu.
"This~" Gu Heng's eyes kept tremblingly stretched out his hands. The thing wrapped in a silk cloth couldn't see it clearly, but because he picked up the hanging lanyard, he saw it, with a blue bottom and twisted letters printed on it.
He had already guessed what it was in his heart. It was something he had dreamed of countless times.
After taking the thing, I opened the silk cloth, and a golden ray of color spread out.
His trembling hands gently stroked the convex medal face. Gu Heng was afraid that he would be damaged and stared at the medal without blinking.
Naki, the ancient Greek goddess of victory, flew to the stadium with wings.
He went through the information on Olympic medals countless times, and he had seen many medal styles. He also touched the Olympic gold medals, but none of them were excited by this time.
This is the sprint he loved in his life, and this is the first Olympic gold medal in the sprint event he loved. At this moment, he felt that his life was satisfied.
"Old Gu, this is the gift I brought to you today! Thank you..."
"What?" Mr. Gu asked unconsciously, his eyes still never left the gold medal.
"Xiaolin, this is not OK, it's too expensive. How can Lao Gu accept it? What's more, this gold medal is of great significance. Hurry up and put it away. Lao Gu, you..."
Seeing that his wife seemed to be stupid, Chen Wanrong hurriedly answered.
She was actually a trance for a while, and after she was a trance, she felt even more relieved.
Originally, Lin Mu was able to come directly to her home when she returned to China to participate in a group event, which made her feel very comfortable. Her husband had taught many achievements in the past, although they were all from Asia and China. However, they were always glorious. But what about the results?
At that time, I was a little better at work. Since I completely retired as a nominee consultant at 98 o'clock, I can count all the things I have come here until today. Although the old man never mentioned these things, she could not remember them in her heart.
Compared to the people led by Lao Gu in the past, Lin Mu has achieved much more, but even so, he can still think about it and take a look. Moreover, he brought this first gold medal, which is really rare. Even if she is not from this industry, she can know how meaningful this gold medal is.
"Ah?! No, no, Xiaolin!" Mr. Gu came to his senses now and quickly stuffed the gold medal into Lin Mu's hand.
Lin Mu pushed and refused slightly, picked up the lanyard, got up, and then put the lanyard around Mr. Gu's neck.
"Old Gu, I can't bear to buy a gift, but this one doesn't cost money." He smiled and joked, used a little force, helped Mr. Gu back to the sofa and sat firmly, and then said: "Old Gu, Teacher Chen, it may be of a little significance to this gold medal. But Mr. Gu knows that I have always believed in something else.
I believe that our track and field needs inheritance, and we teach athletes to promote younger generations without considering fame and fortune. This is the purpose of these inheritances. As an old senior, I am not afraid of others' words because I am young. I strongly recommend it and hope that we will continue the inheritance.
To be honest, for the sake of better track and field, I am worthy of respect for the inheritance to us juniors. To be honest, for me personally, without Mr. Gu’s sponsorship, I would not have the chance to gain a foothold in the national team so early, and I would not have the current results. No matter which point, Mr. Gu is also qualified to bring this medal..."
"I thought about the World Championships last year, but thinking about it, it's still a little short of weight. Now there is an Olympic Games, this is my first gold medal and the first Olympic gold medal in our track and field sprint events. You hand over the inheritance to us juniors, and now it's time for juniors to report your results..."
"You..." Old Gu's voice trembled a little. He felt that at this moment, even if he died, he could rest in peace. Not only because the junior he accidentally discovered did not forget him, but also because this junior was truly innocent. He had a level and sincerity. With such a person, their sprint really had hope.
"Kobayashi..."
Chen Wanrong couldn't speak when she looked at the old man, and she was also moved, but she always felt that this was not a big deal, and when she was talking about it again, she was stopped by Lin Mu.
"Teacher Chen, go and do it. This is all a trivial matter. Mr. Gu is equivalent to my teacher. It is appropriate for students to report their grades to the teacher. Medals and certificates are my transcripts..."
Lin Mu was still talking with a smile on his face.
He made a decision before he came that there was no need to give money, houses and things, and he couldn't bear to give up a few dollars. He felt that at Mr. Gu's age, spirituality may be more important than material things.
What's more, as he said, he does have the purpose of reporting on his achievements. He wants to report to Mr. Gu. At least the people you recommend are doing well at the moment and have not disappointed their expectations.
During the brief stalemate, the trivial sound of opening the door appeared at the door. Then a few seconds later, Mr. Gu's son walked straight into the living room. Seeing the silent scene in the living room, he was slightly stunned.
Sitting on the sofa, a medal hanging, his father holding his hands tremblingly, his mother standing next to him with a complicated expression, and a young man standing with a slightly smile on his face.
This scene made him a little dazed. After turning his mind in a flash, he roughly guessed and looked a little surprised. Suddenly, he felt a little moved and even more grateful.
"Hello, Director Lin! Thank you for coming to see my father!"
Walking forward, Gu Jie enthusiastically extended his hand and said gratefully.
"You are Mr. Gu's son? Then I will call you Brother Gu. Hello Brother Gu!"
After the greetings, Gu Jie called his mother to help him find a place to put things down. In fact, he wanted to know what the situation was.
After a brief understanding, Gu Jie felt even more moved. Lin Mu was really a sincere person. He was more urgent and determined about what he had thought before.
"Guide Lin..."
"Brother Gu, don't be so arrogant. Just call me Xiaolin or just call me a name at home. This guidance is also used to fool people only when you need work."
"Then I'll call you your name at home. What should I do outside? Now you are the deputy head coach of the National Track and Field Corps. This position is not a fool!"
"I haven't decided yet. Besides, they are all names, so I'll do what I should do."
To be continued...
