The next morning at 9: 30 AM, Han Yuan complied with his promise with the old man and came to the swimming pool again.
When the car arrived at the entrance of the swimming pool, Han Yuan saw a large black car parked there. Two men in black suits and sunglasses got off the car, looking like bodyguards. Immediately after, a tall and sturdy old man who seemed to be in high spirits alighted from the carriage.
The old man wore a baseball cap, a white blazer, black sweatpants, and white sneakers.
Although they were separated by a distance, Han Yuan still recognized the old man. He was the one who had competed with him in the swimming pool yesterday.
From the looks of it, his origins were not small! Han Yuan was inwardly surprised. "It can't be Hai Zhou's Big Boss Black, right?!"
When he thought of this, Han Yuan felt that it was funny. It was impossible, seeing that the old tutor was righteous and had a friendly face, it was impossible that he was a mafia lord.
After the old man got off the car, one of the male models immediately took out a sports bag from the trunk of the car to accompany the old man inside.
The old man shook his head: "You will all go back. Come and pick me up in an hour and a half. Don't always follow me. Do you take me as a criminal?"
With that, the elder walked into the swimming pool with his head held high. The two bodyguards watched his back as he disappeared into the distance before leaving in the car.
Han Yuan parked the car, took the sports bag and walked into the swimming pool.
This swimming pool was located in the Hai Zhou Sports Park. It was the best indoor swimming pool in the whole Hai Zhou Province. The facilities, water quality, and service were all the best. It was known as the five-star swimming pool.
There was a standard thermostatic pool of one hundred meters and a large children's pool.
The fee here was also the most expensive in the whole of Haizhou, but it was still overcrowded every summer vacation. There were a lot of people in the pool every afternoon and evening.
It was a wise decision on the old tutor's part. Han Yuan also liked touring when there were fewer people. People came like dumplings, and it wasn't swimming at all.
But seeing the old man's posture today, Han Yuan was a little puzzled. A successful person like the old man with money and bodyguards should be living in a villa with a swimming pool. Why would he come to this public swimming pool to swim? Could it be that swimming alone was too lonely?
When Han Yuan changed into his swimsuit and came to the edge of the pool, the old man was already swimming.
Han Yuan did some warm-up exercises before diving into the water.
In one breath, he swam a thousand meters, and Han Yuan went ashore to rest.
The old man was already leaning back in his chair.
Seeing Han Yuan come up, the old man was very happy. He happily said, "We keep to our agreement. Today, we'll compare the breaststroke to two hundred meters, how about it?"
"Alright, I'm afraid you're going to surpass me again!" Han Yuan laughed. "Your body really looks like it came from an athlete's background!"
"Hehe, you have good eyesight. When I was young, I was indeed an athlete, a swimmer — —" The old man laughed.
"No wonder your swimming skills are so good!" Han Yuan praised, "Your body is so good!"
"Life is about sports. I'm not an athlete anymore, but I've been exercising all my life. I've been swimming and I've been exercising. You are the stronger opponent I have met! " The old man laughed.
"Thank you for your praise. I relied entirely on my age advantage, otherwise I would have lost even more miserably —" Han Yuan laughed.
"Hur hur, being young is equivalent to having money!" The old man looked at Han Yuan and said, "The temporary stop is just to go back to the port to rest. When you have set your goal to be Yang Fan again, you will go further!"
"Thank you, thank you for your encouragement!" Han Yuan said.
The old man was a successful person, and also a considerate elder. Han Yuan really wanted to ask the old man to point things out for him, but his pride prevented him from doing so.
Moreover, the two of them were not familiar with each other. They had only met twice, and it was not the time for them to dig out their hearts and dig out their lungs.
"Come, let's start the 200 meter breaststroke competition!" The old man said excitedly.
"Alright!" Han Yuan answered straightforwardly.
With an order from the manager, the two of them plunged into the water.
The old man was indeed very fast. With a stomp of his legs, he crossed Han Yuan! Han Yuan tried his best to keep up, but still found it a bit difficult. After two rounds, it was indeed the old man who won again!
"Haha …" The old man's laughter was very candid, with a very strong penetrative power.
"You are really a professional! It's impossible to compare! " Han Yuan gasped.
Usually, he felt that he was a good swimmer, but in the army, he could be considered a fast swimmer. He never would have thought that he would run into such a powerful old man. However, he was a professional athlete, so he had to admit this gap.
"This is a question of skill." The old man laughed, "Competitive sports requires a combination of extreme training and techniques. You have to push these two aspects to the extreme, only then will you be able to unleash the greatest potential, only then will you be able to unleash the greatest power."
Han Yuan nodded. "Indeed."
"So, I think some of the prejudices towards athletes in society are wrong," the old man laughed. "Some people always think that athletes have developed limbs and a simple mind, but in reality, that is not the case. "In the process of training, the athletes must diligently experience comprehension, summarize their experience, and find the best skill fusion point in the high-intensity training. Only by exploding their own small universe can they win the competitive sports and realize the glory of their lives!"
"It's the same as in every one of our industries. "If you only knew how to focus on your work and didn't learn from your experiences to do things the other way around, it would definitely be impossible for you to do well and you could only do mediocre things."
Han Yuan nodded thoughtfully. The old man's words made a lot of sense.
However, he felt that he couldn't find the direction right now, much less comprehend any kind of logic to summarize his experience.
He had been in the office for more than a decade, and apart from some personnel management work, he had no technical experience, let alone business experience.
That was the reason why he was at a loss.
"You are still young, and leaving the military to change careers is a step in the end. It is also the beginning of a new life. Seize this opportunity and replan yourself. You will still succeed!" The old man looked at him and said, as if he could see Han Yuan's inner thoughts.
Han Yuan forced out a smile. "I'm just an ordinary person without any skills or abilities. I really have no idea what I should do when I get back to this place."
People are ordinary people. No one is a special talent." But the experience of life and work can make you a different person. Of course, this is also because of your own choice. Whether you want to be a normal person or a different person, a person who has outstanding achievements in a certain area, will all depend on your own hard work. " The old man said meaningfully.
Han Yuan nodded his head in shame. In other words, he was an ordinary person with no ambition because he had never thought about how he could be different from others. Before, he just wanted to do a good job, run a good family, and live a happy life.
And now that desire had failed.
"I'll swim a little longer. What about you?" The old man said.
"I'll swim a little longer, too." Han Yuan laughed.
So they swam in the water, free and relaxed.
When the match was not going on, the elder swam leisurely and his movements were very smooth. Looking at his posture in the water, he was like a free fish, extremely enjoyable.
The old man stopped swimming, his expression pained. He kept stamping on the water with one foot while the other foot was frozen, not daring to move. He used both hands to paddle hard towards the edge of the pool.
Han Yuanma swam upstream, using both hands to support the old man's body. He asked, "Are your feet cramping?"
The old man nodded.
As soon as the manager saw this, he immediately walked over and the two of them helped the old man onto the shore, allowing him to rest on the reclining chair.
The administrator quickly went to get the medicine for the old man to wipe.
"Hehe, I'm really too old to be of any use. I might have been swimming too fast just now, but my legs were too strong and I had a cramp all of a sudden." The old man laughed.
"The water in the indoor pool is cooler, plus with your 200 meters of strength, it's really easy to cramp. I was also a bit —" Han Yuan said.
"Heh heh, I'm still old. I didn't know it when I was young." The old man said, "I haven't exercised enough these two years and have only recently started swimming again. I'm so happy to meet you here, swimming alone in the small pool at home. Can you tell me your name? "
Han Yuan was helping the old man knead his right calf. Hearing the old man's words, he smiled and said, "My name is Han Yuan, you can just call me Little Han! You are probably a few years younger than my father.
"Good!" Han Yuan, good name! " The old man said happily, "We will be friends from now on. As long as the conditions allow, we will insist on swimming, okay?"
"Of course, life is about exercise. Swimming is the best exercise —" Han Yuan said.
"Right, but not many people can persevere in sports. As long as we can persevere, we will definitely have unimaginable results!" The old man laughed, "My surname is Lu, from now on you can call me Uncle Lu!"
"Hello, Uncle Lu!" Han Yuan immediately shouted, "How are you feeling now?"
"Much better, thank you, Little Han." The old man said, "You are from the military, this is something I like very much! When I was young, I wanted to join the army and report back to the country, but that was restricted. The provincial team wanted me to represent the province in the competition, so they didn't even give me the chance to join the army.
"My father was a soldier and also had a military complex, so after graduating from junior high, he let me join the army. Furthermore, before I died, he even asked me to send my son to the army for training —" Han Yuan said.
"Oh, your father has already left — regrettably —" The old man looked at Han Yuan with a solemn expression. "When I get old, I have to face this day!"
"My father was an engineer, and when he was young he worked in a dark, damp tunnel, and when he was old he was sick. But he had no regrets and was still very concerned about the army — "Han Yuan said.
Hearing Han Yuan's words, the old man stared at Han Yuan for a long time. Could he be the son of Han Xuan?
Impossible, right? How could there be such a coincidence?
The old man nodded. "This is a kind of complex relationship that I will never be able to get rid of."
The two chatted for a long time, unknowingly forgetting the time.
It was only when the old man's bodyguard entered that he realized that a lot of time had passed. He immediately got up and left.
Every morning, Han Yuan would come to the swimming pool to swim with Uncle Lu.
The two hours in the gym was the best time for him to relax and release his emotions.
In addition, he was preparing the divorce suit, preparing it for formal filing in court for divorce from Gu Yan.
On the fifth day, as he was driving near the swimming pool, a phone call called him back!
