Chapter 155 - Someone from General Administration of Sport
Ye Hao is one of the wealthiest students at our school. He recently won a whopping five million yuan in the Proverb Championship.”
“Just this morning at the sports meet, Ye Hao shattered eight world records. The school has reported his achievements to the General Administration of Sport. I wouldn't be surprised if they send someone to scout him soon. Ye Hao could very well be recruited into the national team.”
“When that happens, Ye Hao will be a world champion in multiple disciplines.”
“Liu Xiang made tens of millions of yuan after winning the 110m hurdles championship. If Ye Hao clinches all the championships, his net worth could skyrocket into the hundreds of millions.”
“The woman who marries a man like that is truly the ultimate winner in life!”
“We might not stand a chance of marrying Ye Hao, but being his mistress wouldn't be the worst option.”
“That's utterly disgraceful!”
“Have you even tried to add Ye Hao on QQ?” chimed in another beauty. Meixue listened to the three girls gossiping in the dorm room, feeling quite upset.
Because of Meixue's weight, they didn't just ridicule her; they also excluded her.
“Meixue, where did Ye Hao take you out to eat today?” a good-looking girl inquired.
“The Stardust Hotel.”
“The Stardust Hotel?” the girl gasped, “That's incredibly lavish!”
“It was just a buffet,” Meixue clarified with a shake of her head.
“Oh, a buffet.” The girl seemed somewhat relieved, then remarked, “Ye Hao's so wealthy, yet he only treated you to a buffet. How miserly of him.”
“The Stardust Hotel's buffet costs 998 RMB per person,” Meixue informed her.
The girl was taken aback.
She had assumed the Stardust Hotel's buffet would cost somewhere between 100 to 200 RMB per person, as she was accustomed to buffets priced at 58 RMB per person.
“Meixue, do you have Ye Hao's contact details?”
“People on the forums leaked Ye Hao's phone and QQ numbers a while ago,” Meixue explained, pausing briefly.
“Ye Hao has disabled friend requests on QQ and set his phone to automatically reject calls from unknown numbers.”
“You have no idea how obsessed the girls at our school are over him.”
“It's not just our school's girls; people nationwide are trying to contact him. If he hadn't set those restrictions, his phone would never stop ringing.”
“It seems that Ye Hao has no intention of getting close to Meixue. He probably won't be inviting her out for meals anymore.”
After watching for just ten seconds, he was astounded to see that Ye Hao's speed was consistently fast.
One lap down, and Ye Hao was still speeding along.
Two laps completed, and Ye Hao's pace was unchanging.
Seven laps in, and there was no sign of slowing.
After eight laps, the nine competing athletes were dumbfounded.
Ye Hao was still maintaining an incredibly fast speed, having lapped them four times.
The 5000-meter race consists of twelve laps, and Ye Hao had already outpaced them by four!
As Ye Hao ran, a crowd of students gathered around, all aware that his performance had caught the attention of the top brass at the General Administration of Sport.
If any students had previously doubted Ye Hao's prowess, their skepticism vanished as they watched the 800-meter race, realizing the rumors were indeed true.
Ye Hao truly possessed such talent.
When Ye Hao completed ten laps, Liao Sheng hurried to the finish line, eager to see the final time.
As Ye Hao crossed the finish line, the precise time flashed on the computer screen: 7 minutes and 66 seconds.
Liao Sheng was utterly stunned by the number; the world record for the 800 meters stood at 12 minutes and 37 seconds.
Ye Hao had shattered the world record.
It took Liao Sheng a moment to come to terms with the reality. Meanwhile, Ye Hao approached with a serene demeanor.
“Liao Sheng.”
Looking at Ye Hao's composed face, Liao Sheng exclaimed in surprise, “You haven't even tapped into your full potential.”
An athlete who had just run 5000 meters should be gasping for air.
But Ye Hao appeared effortlessly at ease, as if it were just another day.
“I'd rather not draw too much attention,” Ye Hao said with a smile.
At that point, Liao Sheng found himself at a loss for words.
“Ye Hao, I formally invite you to join the national team,” Liao Sheng stated solemnly.
“I'm not interested,” Ye Hao responded dismissively, without a moment's hesitation.
“Why?” Liao Sheng inquired, clearly perplexed by the rejection.
