Provincial Weightlifting Training Center . Chief coach office .

The weightlifting chief, Coach Guangming Song answered the phone .

"Hey Song, here's some good news for you . Did you mention that you want a fitness coach for your weightlifting team? Well now we have found one, a formal authorized one!" the caller said happily .

"How could it have been done so fast? A formal authorized one?" Coach Song was astonished . He had even changed his tone unknowingly .

"Big surprise, huh? It's not easy to get authorized personnel . You reported that your team was lacking a coach a few days ago, so the leaders solved your problem . They attach importance to your team by giving you this personnel . Don't disappoint them!" the person said .

Coach Song's heart jolted, his face turning pale . He managed to cover it up, though, saying, "Of course! I won't let you down! I will train harder and improve my performance! When will the new coach be here?"

"He will register in the Provincial Department of Sports, and after he finishes all the procedures I will send him to you . "

Coach Song hung up, looking uncomfortable . He thought for a while, then made several phone calls . He wrinkled his brows in concentration . Ten minutes later, the vice-chief coach of the weightlifting team, Guangyi Ma, went into Song's office hurriedly .

"Hi Coach Song, what's going on?" Coach Ma asked .

"Ma, sit down and have some water first . " Song gave Ma a cup of tea, and waited until Ma was breathing normally . Then Song said, "Ma, bad news . Your nephew may not be able to work for our team in the future!"

"What? Why? How?" Coach Ma looked at Song wide-eyed .

Song nodded, "I just received a phone call from the department . They have arranged a new fitness coach with authorized personnel . He will come register next Monday . Now that we have a formal employee, it will not be possible to ask for another one for three years . If your nephew wants to work for our team, he can't be recruited for several years . "

Coach Ma sank in his chair and sat in silence . After a while, he raised his head . "Coach Song, why has he come all of a sudden? I didn't hear anything about him before . "

"I have inquired about him . This new coach is a young man around twenty . Coach Zhongyi Xu recommended him to the provincial department himself . The Party Committee has already proved," Coach Song explained .

"Coach Xu recommended him!" Coach Ma's face turned deathly pale . He felt detested about the new coach, but he could do nothing to change it .

Coach Song comforted him . "Ma, don't you worry . Let me see if there is any way out . Worst case scenario, your nephew becomes an a.s.sistant coach for a while . Even though a.s.sistant coaches are contract employed, he will be given priority once we recruit authorized coaches . "

"Thank you Coach Song . Please allow me to discuss it with my nephew . " Coach Ma thanked Song, then stepped out of his office . His face was filled with sullenness .

"Come register next Monday? I don't care who you are, but 'the mighty dragon is no match for the native serpent . You are in my place now . You'd better be a good boy, otherwise I will let you know my power! You dare grab my nephew's position? Just wait and see!" Coach Ma thought to himself viciously .

. . .

Ma's nephew was also an athlete, but not a gifted one . It would be difficult for him to come up with some outstanding performance, so he decided to retire this year . Athletes like him had to look for jobs by themselves, so Coach Ma wanted to put him on the weightlifting team as a coach .

Being a coach was the easiest path for a retired athlete . The recruitment of the Provincial Department of Sports was not very strict—partic.i.p.ants were only required to submit their work experience and others' recommendations . As for job hunting for a coaching position, a recommendation from the national team was more persuasive than a Master's Degree .

Unfortunately, however, Coach Ma was only a vice-chief coach for the weightlifting team . Even though he was at the top of this team, he was nothing in the eyes of the Provincial Department of Sports . That was why Ma had asked Song to help him . Song had promised to recommend Ma's nephew . After all, Ma was his a.s.sistant . He would help Ma without hesitation .

A few months ago, Song began telling people that the weightlifting team was in need of a new coach . According to Song's original plan, he would propose the idea first, this way when he recommended Ma's nephew as a new coach, it would not be so out of the blue .

As this was going on, Ma's nephew began to apply for retirement . The whole procedure was very complicated, and he could not get everything done all at once . Unfortunately, in the meantime, Coach Xu had recommended Dai Li to the department, and the leaders recalled that Coach Song had been complaining every day that their team needed a coach . Therefore, the leaders made a quick decision: send Dai Li to the weightlifting team .

But this meant that Li had taken Ma's nephew's place . Because there was already a new coach, if Song kept asking for another position, nothing would come of it . Song was not so stupid that he would offend any of the leaders just for a little boy, so he had just given up .

. . .

On Monday, Dai Li went to the Provincial Department of Sports for registration .

"Li, you are all set here . According to our stipulations, your first year here would be an interns.h.i.+p . At the end of the year you can come back here, follow the necessary procedures, and become a regular employee . Here is an information form for you . Bring this to the canteen and get your meal card . The card is effective in the departmental canteen and all the other sub-canteens that belong to our training teams," the official said as he signed the form .

"Thank you, Director Liu . " Dai Li took the paper with two hands to show his appreciation .

The newly employed workers in governmental inst.i.tutions had to go through an interns.h.i.+p . The interns.h.i.+p was one year for undergraduates, and three months for post graduates . As for the other regular workers who transferred from other inst.i.tutions, they did not require an interns.h.i.+p .

Li already knew that the so-called one year interns.h.i.+p was nothing threatening . As long as he didn't make any mistakes during the year, he would definitely turn into a formal worker at last . As a new employee, he wouldn't have much power . Even though he wanted to be able to make a big mistake, he was not qualified to do so .

After he got his meal card, Dai Li headed to the Provincial Weightlifting Team Training Center .

"Luckily it is a fitness coach . I have never trained any weight lifters before . If I was about to be a training coach, I could not make it . " While he was thinking, he arrived at the gate of the training center .
