rebirth of change

"Long, I'm really sorry, because our organization work was not done well, which affected your itinerary, I would like to express my apologies to you on behalf of everyone." The Chief Executive held Chen Kangjie's hand and said sincerely.

"It doesn't matter. I've come here now. It's normal to organize such a large-scale event without taking care of some areas." Chen Kangjie originally complained to the organizer to some extent, but the respected chief executive has already When it came to this point, Chen Kangjie couldn't hold on to it, it would also appear that he was too petty and narrow-minded.

In any case, he has to give the chief executive the face, otherwise, he may have the reputation of playing big names and affect his positive image.

"Thank you for your understanding, and also thank you for coming to the competition. Your arrival has added a lot of brilliance to our event. Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. The time is coming, you go get ready, wait for you to finish the competition , I hope I can treat you to a meal." The Chief Executive patted Chen Kangjie on the shoulder and said sincerely.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, as long as you don't disturb your busy work, I'm more than happy." Chen Kangjie said politely and humbly.

Chen Kangjie's statement made Mr. Te very satisfied. It is very rare for such a young man to have such a magnanimity and calmness.

When Chen Kangjie was talking with the chief executive, the reporter was always watching from the side.It's just that because of the presence of the chief executive, they are only playing the role of a media person.As soon as Chen Kangjie turned around, those media reporters swarmed over and surrounded him.The flash crackled and flashed non-stop, and several cameras even filmed him in 360 degrees.

"Long, may I ask why you are interested in participating in this marathon?"

"Long, a few days ago you were promoting your new film "Dragon Heart" in two cities in Southeast Asia. Is the purpose of coming to Hong Kong the same?"

"Long, are you dissatisfied with being surrounded today? Will it affect your mood in the game?"

"This is your first public event in Hong Kong. Do you have anything to say to your loyal fans?"

......

As a large number of microphones approached, those reporters immediately asked a lot of various questions.

Regarding the curiosity of these reporters, if Chen Kangjie had enough time, he would still answer some of them selectively and seriously.Since he is here to do publicity, using the media is the best way.

However, it was only three to five minutes before the firing of the starting gun, and it was impossible for Chen Kangjie to have extra time to entangle with these media.

"Sorry, I can't answer your questions for now, thank you for your interest and support for me and my movie "Dragon Heart", the competition is about to start, I have to stand in front of the team, thank you, thank you. "After Chen Kangjie said this very politely, he was about to move forward.

In the formulaic words, Chen Kangjie still did not forget to mention the name of the movie "Dragon Heart", which can be regarded as an appropriate opportunity to take advantage of.

This time the organizers made no mistakes.Chen Kangjie finished his refusal, and immediately the organization personnel and Chen Kangjie's bodyguards separated Chen Kangjie from the media reporters, and escorted him through a roadside advertising board, and walked to the front in the middle of the road.

Those reporters did not give up on chasing Chen Kangjie because of this. Their cameras and gazes were always focused on Chen Kangjie. Some reporters even pushed and shoved each other for a favorable position. Fortunately, some staff members rushed to Only by intervening can the conflict between them that shouldn't have arisen be resolved.

At this time, at the forefront of the entire competition team, there were already 200 people standing neatly.Moreover, blacks make up a large part of these people, and the rest are mostly Westerners.The proportion of oriental faces is smaller.

The reason why these people can stand at the forefront is because they are invited athletes and very strong athletes.It can be said that, as long as there are no accidents, the champion, runner-up and third place in this competition will be selected from among these people.Each of them has achieved good results in other marathons, otherwise they would not have been invited by the organizing committee, nor would they have stood in such a favorable place.

In almost all well-known international marathon competitions, the good reputation is basically dominated by African runners and European and American runners.In sprinting, the Orientals do not have an advantage, and in this kind of long-distance running, they seem to be always at a disadvantage.Therefore, in order to improve the level of the competition, and to make the competition more competitive and watchable, the organizer usually specially invites some high-level athletes to participate.

And those African players are willing to go to various places to participate in the competition, mainly because they want to get huge bonuses.As specially invited athletes, their food and lodging are all reimbursed by the organizer. Once they get the ranking, they can still get bonuses. Why not do it?These athletes, especially most of the athletes from Africa, rely on game bonuses for their income. Usually, they hardly have much income.Due to economic, political, cultural and other reasons, they do not have decent marathons in their own country, so participating abroad has become their best choice.

Under the guidance of the staff, Chen Kangjie stood in front of the crowd in the first row, and immediately looked very abrupt, particularly conspicuous and prominent.

Around Chen Kangjie, there were some black athletes from Africa, but he was the only Asian with yellow skin and black eyes.

Chen Kangjie doesn't know any of these high-level African marathon runners.He doesn't usually pay attention to marathons, and these athletes don't have Olympic champions, so they seem strange.

But Chen Kangjie didn't know them, they were no strangers to Chen Kangjie, everyone tilted their heads and looked at him very curiously.

Chen Kangjie didn't put on a haughty attitude towards those gazes cast on him, but gave them a kind and polite smile.

Have friends come from afar.No matter what purpose these people came here to compete, since they came, Chen Kangjie, as half of the host, should treat them friendly no matter what.

However, Chen Kangjie gradually noticed the guard and disdain in their eyes.

what happened?I don't seem to have any conflicts or impoliteness with them, how could they show that kind of look?Chen Kangjie was a little confused.

However, Chen Kangjie is worthy of being a smart person. After he thought about it carefully, he thought of the key part.

Those who were wary of him were worried that Chen Kangjie's appearance would rob them of their rankings.If Chen Kangjie won the championship, it would mean that someone's prize money of tens of thousands of dollars would be wasted, which is really equivalent to stealing business.And people can't always have a good face towards competitors who grab their business.

Chen Kangjie is a strong man who has won multiple championships in two Olympic Games.Many people feel threatened by his emergence, even if he has never run a marathon.

And those who express disdain have another thought.In their view, the marathon is completely different from the short-term sprint competition in the Olympic Games. The marathon is more difficult and requires higher ability. There may be danger, put yourself in it.

This part of people does not believe that Chen Kangjie can still dominate the sprint field like he did in the sprint field.In their eyes, Chen Kangjie at this time is just famous. When it comes to real long-distance running ability, he is probably no different from an ordinary amateur.

There are even some evil assumptions, this time Chen Kangjie must be thrown away and stepped on.Not only can you get a generous bonus, but you can also increase your reputation.Let him know that this kind of arduous long-distance running event is not something that people in the East can handle.

As soon as he thought about these ways, Chen Kangjie immediately felt relieved.It doesn't matter what other people think or see, you can't change yourself just because of their thoughts.

Whether you are on guard or disdainful, it doesn't matter.

Although Chen Kangjie has never run a marathon, he has been preparing for the past few days. Moreover, he has not relaxed his running training over the years.It's just that I didn't run 42.195 kilometers in one go.But even so, Chen Kangjie never doubted that he could run down.He usually runs five kilometers, ten kilometers, and even twenty kilometers, and he belongs to the kind that is relatively easy to win.Therefore, although Chen Kangjie didn't know what kind of results he would achieve, he was not afraid of these so-called top players.

The onlookers standing on both sides of the road, in order to cheer for Chen Kangjie and express their feelings, almost all shouted Chen Kangjie's name in unison. Everyone was elated and enthusiastic.

Chen Kangjie looked at the huge timer above his head, knowing that the game would start soon, he just waved his hands to the supporters to pay tribute, then separated his legs back and forth, leaned forward, and was ready to rush out at any time.Although this is a long-distance race, it is also important to grab a good position at the start.

"Athletes, please get ready, everyone takes your place..." There should have been a short speech ceremony before the game, mainly the chief executive's speech.

But because Chen Kangjie came late, the speaking ceremony had to be cancelled.

The chief executive stood in the middle of a makeshift stage by the side of the road, holding a starting pistol in his right hand.

There was a "snap", followed by a crisp gunshot, and wisps of green smoke hung in the air, and the athletes who were ready to go rushed forward one by one like a tide.
