Chapter 52 - Striving for Reason

When Zhang Guan heard this, he realized that it turned out that the two came to him for guilt.

Zhang Guan calmed down in an instant, and said, "You can eat messy food, but you can't talk nonsense, your red lips and white teeth say that I made mistakes and punish me. What mistakes did I make? Make it clear, let me understand, the head will punish me if there is a need! "

"Didn't you already admit it just now?" Officer Zhao said.

"I just admitted that I went to the betting station to buy lottery tickets, but I never said I made a mistake." Zhang Guan said.

"Buying a lottery ticket is the mistake you made." Officer Zhao stared at Zhang Guan: "Small Li said that you violated the discipline of our delegation; while Big Li said that you are discrediting the image of the country!"

"Wait a minute, let's make it clear that every time I leave the Olympic Village, I have filed it with the Youth League, and you have all approved it. We have records to check. I have never left at other times during the Olympic Village." Zhang Guan said.

"So how do you explain the matter of going to buy a lottery ticket?" Officer Zhao asked.

"After getting familiar with the venue, it will take a long time for the return bus to leave, so I went around and bought some souvenirs. So many athletes in our national team are not the only ones I have bought souvenirs for. Come on!" Zhang Guan said.

"Souvenir? Have you ever seen anyone buy a lottery ticket as a souvenir?" Officer Zhao did not accept this answer.

"What's so strange about this? Some collect commemorative coins, those who collect stamps, those who collect postcards, those who collect cigarette packs, those who collect stickers, and even the cards in the noodles are specially collected by people. I collect lotteries from various countries. What's the problem! I have said it all. I bought it and won. The lottery ticket has my name. Think of the name on the Athens Olympics lottery ticket. How commemorative and collectible it is! "Zhang Guan starts to flip out.

"It's also... wrong! If you want to collect it, do you need to buy hundreds!" Zhao said immediately.

"How do they even know this?" Zhang Guan simply left that part out. After all, he already had millions of euros in his hand. He had a strong sense of tyrant. Then Zhang Guan simply said roughly: "There are many relatives and friends at home, go back and give each person one, so buy a little more. I spent money to buy myself a face, is that not enough!"

"You ..." Officer Zhao was upset by this rogue statement, but couldn't find any rebuttal.

At this time, the older Director Guo finally spoke, his expression and tone were so strict: "Zhang Guan, you are a wild one! With your attitude now, I can see your moral quality, but it's enough to clear you from the national team! "

Director Guo was certainly not qualified to drive Zhang Guan out of the national team, but he thought Zhang Guan was only 18 years old, so he began to frighten Zhang Guan, but he didn't expect Zhang Guan to have any fear. He just sneered, and his expression was disdainful.

Director Guo felt disdain in Zhang Guan's expression, he was a little angry, and then still said in a harsh tone: "Other people buy souvenirs, you are good, you go gamble which is illegal, you must go to jail!"

Director Guo thought that the word "jailed" could scare Zhang Guan, but he didn't expect Zhang Guan to be more disdainful. He sneered and said: "Please don't steal the concept. I bought the lottery tickets issued by regular channels in regular companies. This does not violate the law. Furthermore, our country also has a lottery and sports lottery and also sells lottery tickets. What two-color ball, big lottery, scratch color, all the streets are betting stations, do not know how many they sell in a year! How many people buy it? Can you make them all go to jail? "

Officer Zhao next to him looked helplessly at Director Guo. This Director Guo will be relegated to the second line in more than a year, and his thoughts are still at the level of the last century. He feels that making up a serious consequence can scare him. Athletes live, but now they have entered the Internet era, and various information can be found on the Internet. Young people are not very obedient, 20 or 30 years ago they immediately were scared casually.

"Don't get so excited. " Officer Zhao came out to round the field and then said: "Zhang Guan, let's put aside the matter of you buying your lottery ticket. The consequences of this matter have already brought a lot of negative impact on our Olympic delegation! Our Olympic delegation represents the entire country, so we should strictly demand ourselves, observe discipline and law, and show the best of us to the world. But your behavior seriously discredited our delegation's overall image ... "

"Please wait." Zhang Guan interrupted Officer Zhao's words: "I still don't understand, what is the relationship between my buying a lottery ticket and your negative image? Is it a shameful thing to buy a lottery ticket in Greece?? "

"It seems that you can't cry without seeing the coffin!" Director Guo took out several newspapers from the bag and threw them to Zhang Guan: "Look for yourself!"

"I don't know enough English. You'll have to translate it for me." Zhang Guan threw the newspaper back again.

"You can go to the betting station by yourself, and don't know English?" Director Guo said with a sad face.

Zhang Guan smiled and said, "I only know how to speak, I don't read. And to buy lottery tickets is mainly based on hand gestures. I don't understand it, so you have to translate it."

Officer Zhao picked up the newspaper helplessly and pointed to one of the news: "This is a reprinted version of "The Times", Do you know that this is the largest media in the UK, is saying ..."

Officer Zhao translated the large content of the newspaper to Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan listened, but his mind began to analyze.

"How did the reporter know, who leaked the news? Is the basketball team? Impossible, they are all my people, they will not betray me, and the basketball team only knows that I bought Iraq 4: 2 victory over Portugal, and don't even know that I re-bought the lottery for me winning the championship; OPAP gambling company? That is impossible. Although OPAP has my information and can also find my bets, European gambling companies have always paid attention to protecting customer privacy and leaking customer privacy in Europe. The big scandal, OPAP has no reason to do so, and they don't know that I am an athlete, and I don't believe that the national team has such a great ability to get through the relationship with OPAP; that accountant called Fleggs? It shouldn't be, this guy looks very professional, and he also doesn't know that I bet heavily on buying my championship. So who is it? "

Zhang Guan carefully recalled the journey to the betting station and suddenly remembered a person.

"That BBC reporter! What's the name? Forgot! But it must be him! The news only mentions my heavy bet on buying the lottery for me winning the championship, but it doesn't mention me buying the Iraqi football team, so this reporter is the only one. At the betting station that day, it should have been a random interview. At that time, he did not know that I was Zhang Guan, and thought I was supporting my fellow countrymen, but I don't know how he learned that I was Zhang Guan. I won the bet by myself and then got these reports. This reporter is idle. So many people win the record every day. He doesn't have to report it, how can he recognize me! I'm so unlucky, and sad "

Zhang Guan kept cursing the BBC reporter Bell in his heart, but at the same time, he was also thinking about ways to deal with it.

Officer Zhao finished the translation of several newspapers, and Director Guo's face eased slightly. He said: "Young people, making mistakes is inevitable, but if you make mistakes, you must be brave to admit it, take the responsibility, and make changes if you know the mistakes. This is a good comrade! So, Xiao Zhang, you must first recognize your mistakes, and how serious the negative impact of your actions had on the country's image, that is the seriousness of the mistakes. Seriously review so, I think you write a check first ... "

"Write a check? Why should I write it, indeed, it's also true that I'm in the wrong. You want to punish me as much as you want, do you think I'm stupid?" Zhang Guan sneered in his heart, he interrupted Director Guo again and said: "These foreign newspapers just mean that I can't get this Olympics gold medal. I don't know what Director Guo and Officer Zhao think, can I get the gold medal for this 100-meter sprint?"

"Of course you can't ..." Director Guo's words suddenly stopped. Although he thought Zhang Guan couldn't get the Olympic gold medal in the 100-meter sprint, he couldn't say it. After all, he is an official in the delegation. In his capacity, even if there is no hope at all, he cannot fail without saying a word.

Director Guo coughed, and his voice changed. He continued with an official tone: "Hope is naturally there. In the game, we can't give up a hint of hope. We must run out of our resilience! If you want to win the championship on this project, it will be extremely difficult. "

Zhang Guan pointed to the newspapers on the table and said, "But these newspapers swear that I can't win the championship. Director Guo, you just said that I still hope to win the championship, that is, Director Guo I also agree that what is said in these newspapers is incorrect. "

"This ..." Director Guo felt that he was a little too clever, and was a little bit circumvented.

Zhang Guan went on to say: For example, "The Times "even satirized our country with the feudal backward Qing, which is absolutely a slur on our present good life. There is also" Freeman ", which is full of racial discrimination. This disregards human rights. Do the two leaders think I am right? "

"But ..." Director Guo just prepared to refute, but Zhang Guan did not give him this opportunity.

Just listening to Zhang Guan and then he said: "If the two leaders ask our propaganda department, they should know that although these European newspapers are all big European media, they are at the same time hardcore anti-Chinese media, often exaggerating some untrue news. Smearing our country and splashing dirty water on us, these European media have always wanted to see us fall and don't wish for us to rise. "

"And now, these media must know that I am in very good shape, and they are worried that the championship I won in the 100-meter sprint will boost the international image of our country. They want to affect the state of the game to achieve their goal! I firmly believe that the leadership of our delegation is wise, and certainly not because of the credibility of these anti-Chinese media to make a difference! Besides, foreigners say that I am a bad guy, so I am a bad guy? Does the ministry believe that the false reports of foreign newspapers should be used as the basis for punishing their athletes? "

After Zhang Guan finished speaking, he looked at Director Guo and Officer Zhao with a smile, but the two wanted to talk, but they did n't know where to start. Both of them were caught in Zhang Guan's logic for a while.

Whether it is the Times, the Berlin Daily, or the Freeman, it is indeed a long-term publication of some anti-Chinese remarks. This Cold War mentality has lasted for decades and cannot be changed in a short time, and ideology determines Europe The vast majority of media will be biased against China.

Director Guo and Officer Zhao both ate public meals. For those who eat public meals, what the anti-Chinese media say is not right. This is the most basic position. As an official, you can make mistakes and poke Lou Zi, but the general direction must be correct, and you must stand in the right position.

And Zhang Guan claims that the champion is his and that he has more strength in the 100-meter sprint, but the choking Director Guo and Officer Zhao were speechless. Regardless of media critics or ordinary people, they can say to Zhang Guan, "You can't do it", "You're good at speaking nonsense," "Your bragging," "You can't win the championship," etc., but officials from the Olympic delegation cannot say this, as this must not be said before the game.

Officer Zhao thought about it for a moment and suddenly felt that what Zhang Guan said was quite reasonable. When Officer Zhao first saw these reports, he presumed that Zhang Guan had made mistakes, so he was criticized by foreign media, but now think about it carefully, these foreign media are not good. As Zhang Guan said, the use of foreign media reports is not suitable as a basis for punishing athletes in his own country.

But Director Guo didn't think so.

Director Guo was about to retreat to the second line in more than a year. At this time, people's thinking is very strange. Some people will gradually learn to let go, while some people will cherish the power in their hands more and want to be crazy to the end.

And Zhang Guan has been confronting Director Guo, making Director Guo feel ashamed. Director Guo feels that although he will retire in a little more than a year, he is still in position anyway, and it is not yet time for him to go drink tea and cool down. Director Guo would never tolerate the fact that Yang Fengyin's violation would be tolerated when he retired. Moreover, Zhang Guan not only refused to write a check by Director Guo's requirements but also directly pushed Director Guo back. Director Guo felt that his authority was blatantly challenged, which he could not tolerate. This matter is no longer a dispute between right and wrong in the eyes of Director Guo, but he has only one year of power left before he retires.

...

Director Guo walked out of the athlete's apartment with a look of depression. Zhang Guan didn't admit his mistakes, and he didn't write a check. Director Guo really couldn't help it.

"I don't believe I can't clean up your little athlete!" Director Guo already had a plan in mind.

Officer Zhao next to him did not know what Director Guo thought. Zhao thought he was out of place but he said: "I think Zhang Guan said something reasonable, it is not very appropriate to ask our athletes to blame based on foreign media reports. I think it's better to give a verbal warning, let him pay attention to the impact in the future, at least cover your face with a mask, don't let foreign media use it ... "

"No!" Director Guo glared at Officer Zhao and then said: "It has become such a joke that foreigners have made such a big noise, causing such a bad international influence. If you say anything, you should be punished. If the attitude of admitting mistakes is good, we can still say a few good words for him, but you can see that with his attitude now, he does not recognize the mistakes at all, and I think he will be heavily punished! "

Officer Zhao was stunned. He felt something was wrong, but Director Guo had a higher position after all, so Officer Zhao had to ask, "What do you mean, Director Guo?"

"Remember to report the problem, and to punish him for suspension after going back!" Director Guo continued: "This matter is very serious and must be settled!

Yeah, it made Director Guo unhappy, of course, he wanted to kill him ...
