After Leaving the Sports Circle, I Became a Cooking God (Completed BL)

Chapter 77: Su Bai's Dispute and Wager

After a pause, Pei Jin'an continued, "However, from my personal perspective, if possible, I hope to see a breakthrough in obtaining a spot for the World Championships from our team."

Pei Jin'an's words were very cautious. He seemed hesitant to burden Su Bai too much. Thus, he had carefully chosen his words before speaking.

Su Bai didn't decline; instead, he nodded earnestly. "I understand. Once the qualifying standards for the World Championships are announced, I will use those as targets for planning."

Pei Jin'an glanced at Su Bai, his eyes filled with contentment. Although Su Bai had only said that he would plan based on those standards, Pei Jin'an was already quite satisfied. This essentially meant that Su Bai was confident about this matter.

Thinking about this, Pei Jin'an couldn't help but want to praise Su Bai a bit more.

However, before Pei Jin'an could utter his praise, Su Bai's next words caused Pei Jin'an's brow to furrow.

"Coach Pei, in addition to the regular training for the 400-meter project, Coach Lu has also communicated with me. Besides Cui Luoheng, I will also oversee the training plans for Lu Mengfan and Zhao Yankai."

In truth, Pei Jin'an had already anticipated this outcome. After all, during the Asian Games, Cui Luoheng's performance was evident. If Su Bai could nurture a talent like Cui Luoheng, how could Lu Shengbin possibly overlook Su Bai, who was right there beside him?

Although Pei Jin'an was somewhat concerned that Su Bai's divided attention might affect his coaching of the 400-meter project, he still nodded. "Alright, but Xiao Bai, you have to remember that your focus should still be on the 400-meter project. The 400-meter project is your foundation."

Pei Jin'an's words were delivered with sincerity, and they were genuinely for Su Bai's benefit.

Currently, research and coaching of the 400-meter sprint project in the country hadn't made significant progress yet. Su Bai was the only coach in the country who had achieved remarkable results in the 400-meter project. In other words, unless unforeseen circumstances arose, as long as Su Bai could guide the 400-meter project to the pinnacle step by step, he would undoubtedly become the authority in the domestic 400-meter project.

If Su Bai got distracted by other projects, it would indeed be a case of gaining little but losing much.

After hearing Pei Jin'an's words, Su Bai's intention to continue speaking suddenly halted.

"What's wrong?" Pei Jin'an noticed that Su Bai's words had abruptly stopped.

After thinking for a moment, Su Bai handed another document to Pei Jin'an—this was a training plan specifically for Fang Yu.

When Pei Jin'an saw Fang Yu's name and glanced at the document's title, his brows furrowed, and he looked at Su Bai. "Are you kidding?"

After this reprimand, Pei Jin'an seemed to realize that his tone had been overly severe. He took a deep breath, tapped his index finger on the table, as if trying to suppress the anger that had momentarily flared up.

"Xiao Bai," after tapping the table for over ten seconds, Pei Jin'an finally sighed and said to Su Bai, "I won't dwell on the matter of the 110-meter hurdles. You single-handedly brought Cui Luoheng up in the S Province Track and Field Team. We've all seen your coaching results for the 110-meter hurdles. If you want to continue coaching Cui Luoheng, I won't say a word. Old Lu values your coaching ability for the 110-meter hurdles; he wants you to guide Lu Mengfan and Zhao Yankai as well. This might distract you a bit, but you do have the capability, and you already have the foundation, so that's not an issue."
