After participating in the World Youth Championship, Newton would immediately lead the team back to China. However, this time they had limited funds and couldn’t charter a flight home like the men’s football team after losing the game. They could only ensure that they booked consecutive seat numbers when purchasing tickets.

A group of young men carried their luggage and traveled with Newton by train to Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. From there, they took a non-stop flight back to Beijing.

Having just finished the intense competition, the boys were feeling an indescribable sense of exhaustion at the moment. They walked sluggishly, their voices tired.

Newton didn’t doubt that with the physique of this group of volleyball players, even traffickers would take a detour when they saw them. However, Newton didn’t trust their navigation skills, especially Er Leng’s. He worried they would end up lost in the city and never make it home again.

But soon he realized that Qin Chunxiao was the one most likely to get lost. When they arrived at the airport, they ran into the Russian and Brazilian teams. The players from different teams gathered, exchanging contact information and posing for photos, their chests pressed together in a pile. Qin Chunxiao got lost in the midst of it all.

Compared to the tall players who were around 1.9 meters in height, Xiao Qin was really short. Newton had to bow his head to find him. With a wrong move, Qin Chunxiao was squeezed from the Flower Garden to the Bookstore.

But when Xiao Qin managed to squeeze out, he was the only one who had everyone’s contact information. In everyone’s eyes, this pier, who won the MVP of the World Youth Championship with his exceptional defense, was worth befriending.

Newton said, “Dun… Chunxiao, go and check in your luggage.”

Qin Chunxiao automatically filtered out the word “Dun” and walked away with a natural expression. Newton was relieved, thinking he had narrowly avoided a catastrophe thanks to his quick reaction, and never realized that as a coach, he had immunity.

At that moment, the song “Iron Blood and Heart” played, and Lao Niu quickly picked up his phone. When he checked the caller ID, his voice became noticeably sweeter.

“Hey, wife… what? Pai Pai got injured? He’s fine… as long as he’s not missing any limbs, I’ll make bone soup for him when I get back to replenish his body. Take care of yourself…”

Coach Niu put away his phone, his face filled with both worry and affection. He truly was a middle-aged man experiencing mixed emotions.

Min Yaoyang asked curiously, “Coach Niu, who is Pai Pai?”
Newton waved his hand: “My son.”

Newton’s son is called Paipai, isn’t that beef steak?!

When Qin Chunxiao came back, a few of his henchmen crowded around him and spoke in a low voice.

“Xiaozi, Xiaozi, do you know? Old cow actually named his son “牛排” (Niú Pai)-Beef steak!”

“Will his son not hate him?”

“These days, parents have a tradition of giving their children strange names with love passed down from generation to generation.”

Qin Chunxiao blinked his blue eyes and said, “I think it’s fine. It’s a wonderful surname with a wonderful name. As long as it’s not called ‘牛蛋’ (niú dàn-Cow Egg), I believe the son of Lao Niu won’t blame him.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone who could understand Chinese fell into a strange silence.

He knew the name of Newton’s son in his previous life.

Li Ling also said mysteriously: “Paipai seems to be injured, what is he doing?”

Qin Chunxiao who knew the truth: “It’s probably the same as Min Yaoyang’s second mother. Anyway, you just don’t ask nonsense. If others ask…”

Min Yaoyang responded quickly: “Just say that Paipai is doing business in other places!”

The boy gave him a thumbs up after he finished speaking. It seems that he was taught relevant knowledge by his mother when he was a child.

Qin Chunxiao nodded, letting others remember it too.

In his memory, Newton’s only son worked at the border. The job was so special that even if he was on TV, the mosaic on his body would be so thick that carbon-based creatures would be dazzled. Lao Niu, his father, would never guess that it was him after watching the video. His son seldom went home during holidays.

IIt was not easy for the father and son to reunite. After all the calculations, it was the first time in Qin Chunxiao’s memory that Old Niu came home to see his son with the pride of his achievements.

And he could finally go home.

The national youth team and the national team didn’t train together all the time. Usually, they still played and trained with their respective provincial teams. If permitted by their superiors, they could also play for various clubs and even go abroad to compete. The team would only assemble for training when it was necessary to represent the country.

After all, being a part of the national team didn’t guarantee a permanent position. If their training performance wasn’t satisfactory, they could be sent back to their provincial teams. Some athletes experienced ups and downs in their careers and could enter and leave the national team multiple times. It was not easy to establish a solid position, as a powerful wave of newcomers could easily push someone to the bench.

However, with Qin Chunxiao’s abilities, no one in the country could surpass him.

Upon their return, the athletes finally received attention from two sports journalists at the airport. They took a group photo and boarded the bus. After listening to the team leader’s speech, they could collect the tickets that Newton had booked in advance and return to their respective homes.

Fu Biyang bid them farewell at the airport, then boarded a flight to Island H. Li Ling’s brother, Li Yan, came to pick them up again. As usual, they dropped off Qin Chunxiao first before the two brothers continued home. Li Yan expressed his gratitude to Qin Chunxiao for taking care of his younger brother.

Recalling Li Ling’s actions against him on the court, Qin Chunxiao’s mouth twitched, but he graciously accepted the gratitude.

He was used to living in star-rated hotels, and when he saw himself living in a big old dilapidated rented house again, Qin Chunxiao still felt a little bit of a new life.

He really came back with a gold medal.

Qin Chunxiao ran upstairs with his luggage. There was no one at home, but there was hot food and vegetables on the table, and a note was pressed under a glass of milk.

[Xiaoxiao, my mother and friends opened a chain of car repair shops, and we are going to buy goods today, and my father is going to work, we will be home before 7 pm, you have a good rest, congratulations on getting the gold medal, mom, dad and sister are all for you pride. 】

Qin Chunxiao took a photo, opened the scarf, just in time to see Qiao Mingming’s post.

Qiaojia Xiaoming V
Say hello when you get home.

In the comment area, several team members reported that they had successfully arrived home.

Qin Chunxiao sent the photo with a smile.

Qin Chunxiao V: Already home [photo].

The following group of likes, and big stars retweeted, welcome the little heroes who won the championship to return home safely.

Yes, it’s time to rest.

Qin Chunxiao didn’t even tidy up his clothes, lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

While a group of athletes were sleepy and jet-lagged in their respective homes, Mei Xuandong had already presented his new work.

This person wrote two songs for the Men’s Volleyball National Youth Team in the World Youth Championship this time. The first song was “The Storm Comes” from calm to passionate, and the accompanying video was the National Youth Team World Youth Championship edited by him. Highlights, the wonderful moments of each player were cut into it, which could be described as a super-standard work for volleyball fans.

The second tune, “Running Wolf”, which refers to “Superstar in a Chaotic World”, was a typical single-direction work compared to the previous song “The Storm Comes”, which was promoted by groups. The video was full of Vice Captain Qin’s desperate efforts The appearance of catching the ball, and the few scenes where he scored rare spikes in the World Youth Championship, were all cut into it, and none of them fell.

Don’t underestimate it as a fan work created by Mei Xuandong while filming movies and following competitions; its quality was actually quite impressive. Moreover, the team he was a fan of showed great competitiveness, ultimately winning the championship with a passionate style. It gained popularity on the internet and even trended on two hot search lists.

This trending search wasn’t artificially promoted, which speaks to the quality and popularity of the work.

Boss Wan from Caiwang Company was also a long-time fan. He was highly satisfied with this World Youth Championship. In fact, he announced that he would not take any money earned from these two songs and instead use it to purchase advanced training equipment for the hardworking men’s volleyball national youth team.

Whether it was a ball machine, a blocker, or the most cutting-edge post-match cooling chamber, the amount of money generated by the two songs didn’t matter. It was true that releasing records this year wasn’t profitable, and he was willing to cover the expenses personally. That should be sufficient.

Mei Xuandong understands how things work in the world and quickly liked Boss Wan’s WeChat Moments post.

Mei Xuandong: Boss Wan is magnificent!

Wan Jinhai: Hahahaha, Xiaomei, you know me best.

With the return of the National Youth Team players, the impact of this game was gradually fermenting in the country.

For example, the video of Newton being lifted up was now widely circulated. It had two million views on a bullet screen website, and there are countless bullet screens.

[Bear kids, don’t throw Coach Newton down]

[Coach Newton has worked hard, so have the athletes!]

[Coach Niu Bull Head!]

[Newton broke away from the shackles of gravity]

Anyone with eyes could see how much Newton was loved by these athletes, and the audience loved this scene.

The head coach and the athletes didn’t like each other. Fans had seen too much of Zhao Youde in the men’s volleyball team. Normal people prefer to see the coach and the athletes love and respect each other and go hand in hand.

As for whether Zhao Youde would find it dazzling when he saw this scene, no one cared.

And Wang Yizui, Newton’s drinking buddy and boss, who was also the leader of the Sports Bureau, also had a new idea.

It would be the Tokyo Olympics in a few years, and he wanted to go further, which required good results in the projects he was in charge of.

But the current Chairman of the Volleyball Association, Feng Pingshun, was an incompetent person. To be precise, Feng Pingshun was sent to his current position for retirement because he was not active enough on a key issue.

However, Zhao Taidou, another vice chairman of the volleyball association, had a little problem, that was, nepotism and only using his own people. In the past, Wang Yi didn’t care about these things the most! But if someone got in his way, he had to take care of it.

You should know that from the end of June to the first ten days of July this year, not only the Men’s Volleyball World Youth Championship, but also the FIVP World Men’s Volleyball League will be held. There are a total of 36 participating teams, including the Chinese team.

However, Zhao Youde’s newly reorganized national team didn’t even make it to the semifinals, let alone the finals. What’s worse, the team that defeated them was actually a neighboring team!

The leaders of the sports bureau who were associated with the men’s volleyball team were deeply humiliated. Wang Yimo managed to avoid severe consequences by showing some influence, and the matter was resolved with a few self-punishments. However, his two colleagues, who were close to him, suffered the consequences, and he felt quite uneasy about it.

He had made up his mind: The Mavericks were skilled at leading the team, and they were on his side. With the appointment of the new head coach for the men’s volleyball team approaching, he intended to renew his contract with Zhao Youde for another four years. He knew that the men’s volleyball team in the Tokyo Olympics would most likely not achieve any notable results. However, if he could propel the Mavericks to success and have them deliver a strong performance, he could use it as an opportunity to promote the exceptional men’s volleyball team and take credit for it in the promotional area.

Thinking of this, Wang Yi made up his mind.

It seems that after Zhao Youde’s current employment period ends, he would have to help the Mavericks.
