Love Guide for Childhood Sweethearts

"Now the American army's morale must be shaken." Ye Zhenzhen said gloatingly, "It's deserved!"

"That may not be the case." Lin Jingzhe said casually after hearing this.

"How is it possible? This is a scandal." Lian Ximei said with disbelief in her eyes.

"Once you're used to it, there won't be any waves!" Lin Jingzhe looked at them with eyes as dark as black holes and said, "In short: numb."

"Impossible! This is the behavior of a minority." Zina looked at her in disbelief.

"There must be some effect." Lian Ximei said hopefully.

"I wonder which hero is doing justice for the heavens." Ye Zhenzhen said gratefully.

"That's not certain. Some of us know them." Lin Jingzhe looked at them with his bottomless dark brown eyes and said, "This is on the Chinese internet. There are a few foreigners there."

"Uh..." Zina looked at her hesitantly and pursed her lips.

"This is to divert the attention of our netizens." Lian Ximei said with her watery eyes turning when she heard this.

"Yeah! If it doesn't affect others, as long as you don't look at it, it won't exist." Lin Jingzhe looked at them deeply and said, "Don't pin your hopes on others."

"We understand!" Ye Zhenzhen smiled and said, "We give our all in every game."

Smith stared at the computer screen with his gray-blue eyes almost popping out of his head. "How could this happen?"

"They're using our negative news to suppress the buzz we're creating," Annie said, staring at her phone. "All they're discussing on their social media sites are our scandals."

"Damn it!" Smith was so angry that he threw the teacup on the desk.

"What should we do now?" Anne was frightened and looked at Smith with a sinister look and a dark face, and asked with courage.

"What should we do? If we fail this time, next year's Olympics will be ours." Smith said with a sneer.

"Will our people be caught?" Annie said worriedly.

"They can't climb up along the network cable!" Smith sneered. "So what if they knew?" After thinking for a moment, he said, "The person we're looking for is too low-level."

"What do you mean?" Annie looked at him, not quite understanding. "Isn't it okay to win over the foreign trainees?"

"It's no use now. We're on guard everywhere and can't move," Smith said angrily.

"What should we do then?" Annie looked at him nervously.

"We shouldn't tamper with their external training." Smith said with a gleam in his gray-blue eyes.

"Who are you going to win over?" Anne asked cleverly.

"Their leader," Smith said with a faint glint in his gray-blue eyes. He looked at the bewildered Annie and added, "You don't understand their system. Even if you're an Olympic champion, you still have to obey your leader. They have a saying: A higher-ranking official can crush someone."

Anne looked at him with such confidence with her emerald eyes and asked, "Can this be done?"

"There's nothing money can't do," Smith said confidently. "Their leaders only have a fixed salary. Seeing Lin Jingzhe getting bonuses and endorsement fees, how can they not be jealous?"

"This is the result of Lin Jingzhe's hard work. What does it have to do with the leader?" Annie looked at him with confusion.

"Their leaders take a cut of Lin Jingzhe's endorsement fees. In short, the more endorsements Lin Jingzhe makes, the more commission the leaders get. But that woman only endorses five brands, and the brands bribed the leaders, but they couldn't convince her. How could this leader not be bitter about losing money!" He said with a mad look in his eyes, "As long as we offer a high enough price, he'll be tempted."

"Do officials have such great power?" Annie asked worriedly.

"In a country where officials are the most important, officials have enormous power!" Smith said, tapping his index finger on the desk. "If money can't impress him, then a reputation will definitely move him."

"What?" said Anne, looking at him eagerly.

"The position at FINA will definitely impress him," Smith said, looking at Anne complacently. "No one would refuse, especially them. They have an extraordinary obsession with officials."

"Is that possible?" Anne looked at him in disbelief.

"You don't understand them. In their eyes, power means money and the ability to climb up the social ladder. They will definitely do anything to get it." Smith said with a gleam in his eyes.

"I hope it will be as you imagined." Annie said slowly.

"Yes. After the last incident in Rome, Lin Jingzhe went back and wrote a self-criticism." Smith chuckled. His laughter was so creepy that it made people's hair stand on end.

"Write a self-criticism?" Annie frowned. "Are you kidding me?"

"No." Smith said calmly, "This is information I got from their foreign trainers."

"How could this happen?" Annie's emerald green eyes gradually became deeper.

"A magical country." Smith said with a grin.

"Why can't I catch up?" Annie looked at him puzzledly and said, "Even medication doesn't work. Why?"

"From her test data, there really isn't any trace of drugs. She relies purely on her own strength and training." Smith leaned back in his chair. "The training programs are pretty much the same!"

"Not only Lin Jingzhe, but the four relay medley swimmers are also making rapid progress," Annie said with a frown. "Is it really a racial issue?"

"How is that possible? We are the strongest." Smith's face changed drastically when he heard that.

"Then why can't we beat them?" Annie asked with doubtful eyes.

"We are not inferior to them. Except for freestyle, we are on par with them in other aspects." Smith forced himself to remain calm and said.

"But we used medicine." Annie hesitated and said to him bravely.

"Shut up!" Smith shouted suddenly, "We are the strongest, the strongest, how could we be caught up by a yellow monkey!"

Annie was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe. "You're right. Without her, we are absolutely strong."

"Just get rid of her." Smith said ferociously as if he was resisting a crawling evil spirit.

"Is it too late now?" Annie asked worriedly, "The World Championships are just around the corner."

"Forget it this time, let's prepare for next year's Olympics!" Smith said reluctantly, "Alas..."

"Are we still going to continue this online discussion?" Annie looked up at him cautiously and asked.

"Go on, why not?" Smith said, his dark blue eyes fixed on her. "It's a piece of cake. Just a few taps on the keyboard, and it'll create as much trouble as possible." He added with a smirk, "For us, the losses won't be that great. It's easy enough to mess up the Middle East and discredit an athlete."
