Name: My father Yuan Mu

On August 22, when the women's football team was on the bus to the airport, Yuan Zhihao did not choose to take a special car, but sat in the same car with the other players.

I attended the closing ceremony yesterday and took a short rest before returning home today.

The women's football players were seen absentmindedly fiddling with the bronze medals hanging around their necks, and they were obviously in a bad mood.

If they were eliminated in the quarter-finals, they might not feel so bad, but they played from the beginning to the end and almost touched the championship medal. The psychological gap is extremely huge.

Yuan Zhihao had already noticed their psychological problems. He knew that this was not going to work, so he stood up.

When he stood up, everyone looked at him.

"What are you doing? You all look so listless! If I didn't know, I'd think you were eliminated in the group stage!"

"You guys played all the way from the qualifiers to the third and fourth place finals! You played from start to finish. Even though you made a mistake in the end and lost to the Canadian women's national team, so what?"

"Isn't winning and losing normal? Besides, you played very well this time. Your achievement is the best result for Chinese football in all these years!"

"I have to praise you here. I see in you the spirit of hard work and daring to fight. I am deeply moved by your fearlessness. The country is proud to have players like you!"

"Especially Lina, who fought tooth and nail to block the fatal shot in the penalty shootout against Hans Cat. Her chest was bruised when she left the field. To be honest, I burst into tears at that time!"

"And Shanshan, Haiyan, Xiaoyue, Shanshan, you are all great, all of you are great!"

"Actually, I feel a lot of pressure when I become the chairman of this Football Association. A bunch of leaders who are just sitting there doing nothing are sitting in such a high position. And the men's football team is nothing. You don't have to look at me. Even if they were here, I would say this to their faces!"

"What the hell is that? They're all so full of food, their stomachs are popping out. Is that the physique an athlete should have?"

"Each one is worse than the other at playing football! But each one is more enthusiastic than the other in eating sea cucumbers! Just talking about this makes me angry! I'll stop giving them sea cucumbers when I get back. What the hell? Are they worthy of eating sea cucumbers? From now on, you must supply them with sea cucumbers every day!"

Looking at Yuan Zhihao's expression and listening to his words, the female football players all laughed softly.

Seeing that the girls were all laughing, Yuan Zhihao also started laughing.

"Alright, forget about this. I'll apply to my superiors for bonuses this time. Each of the main players will receive 150,000, and each of the substitutes will receive 80,000! Additionally, I'll take a portion of the bonus from the Football Association's treasury and give it to you! Don't worry, this bonus will definitely not be less than what your superiors give you!"

Yuan Zhihao's words hit the nail on the head. On the one hand, athletes work so hard to win glory for the country, and on the other hand, isn't it also for money? Everyone has to make a living, so don't make yourself sound so noble. How many noble people are there in the world?

Talking about national justice all the time will give athletes an illusion, and no one is a fool. Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts, and this statement is not empty talk.

Of course, Yuan Zhihao is not saying that the girls in the women's football team play football hard for money, but since they have made efforts, you have to reward them, otherwise how can they be so motivated next time?

If this time is still the same as before, then next time, even if Yuan Zhihao talks his mouth off, no one will buy it.

As expected! The girls cheered immediately after hearing Yuan Zhihao's words.

"Yeah! Long live Secretary Yuan!"

"Secretary Yuan, I love you!!"

Yuan Zhihao also looked at everyone with a smile.

"Okay, are you happy now? I'll transfer this money to your personal accounts as quickly as possible. Don't worry, it's all after-tax! Also, get some rest when you get home. We'll have dinner together at the best restaurant in Kyoto in three days!"

"No one should save money for me then. Eat whatever you want, whatever's expensive. But I have to say something upfront. This is just one indulgence. From now on, you have to listen to the nutritionist on how to eat!"

"Okay! Thank you, Secretary Yuan!"

"Long live Secretary Yuan!"

The girls cheered again. Seeing their smiles, Yuan Zhihao also smiled. That was right. This was the smile a group of girls in their twenties should have. Although Yuan Zhihao was only in his thirties this year, the age of his two lives combined could make him their grandfather.

. . . . . . . . .

After returning to China, Yuan Zhihao first went to visit Lao Yuan, because Lao Yuan's secretary had called him and asked him to visit him after returning to China.

After coming to Lao Yuan, Lao Yuan first affirmed his achievements in the Football Association and also praised his series of practices abroad.

"Xiao Hao! The reform of football is unstoppable. You can't just reform the Football Association and the national team. Our football industry is too big right now."

"You can't, or you can say you have no ability to, change the Chinese Super League and China League One for the time being because they are too big and involve the interests of too many people in every aspect."

"I think you should start with the China League Two and youth football competitions. I also know that you have sent people all over the country to select talented teenagers, but simply selecting them is not enough. You also need to train them well."

"Our country is so big, with a population of over a billion, it's impossible not to find people who can play football. In fact, you can send more people to Handong and Shanghu to look for talented youngsters. That's where I fought in the past."

"When I built the school, the first thing I did was to improve the sports facilities. The football field and basketball court were all the latest, just to cultivate children's interest in sports."

"I also issued an order that physical education teachers must be former athletes. Also, all other teachers are not allowed to take up the children's physical education classes."

"Go and have a look, look for it. I believe you will be surprised. Develop football well. In the future, there will be basketball that needs you to take the lead."

Hearing this, Yuan Zhihao suddenly looked up and said, "What the hell? I haven't even figured out football yet, and you want me to deal with basketball?"

"Dad! I'm already so overwhelmed with football, I don't have a clue what to do, and now you want me to take care of basketball?"

"Don't be anxious. I'm not asking you to be the chairman of the Basketball Association. I'm asking you to be an honorary chairman. I already have a candidate for the chairman of the Basketball Association." Yuan Mu said with a smile.

To be honest, Yuan Zhihao sometimes thinks that Yuan Mu is too energetic. He has so many things to do every day, but he still has time to worry about sports. He is really unique.
