Chapter 263 The National Competition Ends
Chapter 263 The National Competition Ends
As happy and excited as I was the previous week, I feel as sad and regretful at this moment.
Gu Yu stood in the center of the Shougang Center Stadium and looked at the electronic scoreboard. The score was 68:50. Chunfeng Middle School lost.
The difference in strength between the two sides in this game is too great, and it is not something that can be won by just encouraging one's morale or getting excited.
The national competition is over, and so is my high school basketball career.
Gu Yu thought silently in his heart, but the road ahead is still long.
He looked at the members of the Shanghai Foreign Languages Middle School basketball team who were still celebrating their victory.
He looked at his teammates who had tried their best but still failed and were sitting blankly on the basketball court.
"Thank you for your hard work. You played very well today!"
Gu Yu walked over to Zhou Hang, pulled him up, gave him a hug with a smile, and patted his back.
"Brother Yu, we..."
Zhou Hang was still a little sad, his voice choked with sobs, he was so close to the championship, it was within reach.
"Everyone tried their best and we made history. Look at the audience here, they recognize our efforts."
Gu Yu signaled Zhou Hang to raise his head. Although Chunfeng Middle School lost, the audience did not leave.
Many people were shouting, "You're already great!" and "Come on!" and other words of encouragement.
Gu Yu then pulled up Gao Yang, Ding Lei and other players one by one, patted their shoulders, said a few words of comfort, and called the substitutes to the court.
They bowed to thank the fans who supported them, and the audience also applauded.
"Gu Yu must be very sad. He has always been so dazzling and has never lost." Wang Yidi's eyes were red and his words were full of heartache.
"He still shines, you see, failure won't knock him down, he's smiling."
Huang Zhitao seemed to be answering Wang Yidi's concerns, but also seemed to be talking to herself. She stared blankly at Gu Yu in the center of the court, a little dazed.
These two should be my daughters-in-law, right? Well, they are both pretty good, tall, tall, tall, and pretty. They will be beautiful women in a few years.
I was worried that this guy wasn't interested in women, but he found two without telling me, or maybe there were others?
Huang Zhitao and Wang Yidi did not notice that the middle-aged man wearing sunglasses standing behind them was Gu Tingfeng.
He was not too worried about his son's loss. As a man, he must experience some failures and setbacks in order to grow.
Besides, my son knows in his heart that he has become a strong man.
What he was worried about was his son's ability to carry on the family line, but it was a little early to consider it.
"Mr. Gu, the meeting time you agreed to have with Director Liu from the Ministry of Commerce is almost here," the secretary next to him reminded.
"Well, let's go. Remember to have someone give the gift to my son." Gu Tingfeng nodded and stood up.
He liked the atmosphere on the sidelines and did not choose to watch the game in the box. This time, in addition to watching Gu Yu's game, he also had a lot of domestic matters to deal with.
In Gu Tingfeng's opinion, the busier he is now, the easier it will be for Gu Yu when Fenglin Group is handed over to him.
"He's really like an adult. Look at Gu Yu. He's neither arrogant when he wins nor discouraged when he loses. He even comforts his teammates and thanks the fans.
This child is so worry-free. Gu Tingfeng is so lucky that he doesn't have to worry about anything and his son has grown up."
Tong Wenjie said as she clapped like the audience and gently nudged Song Qian beside her.
"Most men are selfish. How many children can be as upright as Gu Yu?" Song Qian complained, thinking about her own family's situation.
"Teacher Song, your attack is too broad. I'm not like that.
By the way, didn’t Mr. Gu come back specially to watch his son’s game? Why didn’t I see him?
He is a very busy man, and our children have been classmates for such a long time, but we have never met him in person." Fang Yuan looked around.
"I guess he's watching the game in the box, right? Forget about you guys, Gu Yu and I live across from each other.
I've only seen him twice in all these years, and he doesn't care about children as much as Qiao Weidong does. "Song Qian frowned, she had a lot of opinions about Gu Tingfeng.
When Gu Yu moved here in junior high school, she met Gu Tingfeng, who asked her to take good care of Gu Yu.
Gu Yu is now a senior in high school. In the past five years, she has only met Gu Tingfeng once, when Gu Yu's grandmother passed away.
Although Gu Tingfeng would ask someone to send gifts during festivals, Song Qian thought he was not a responsible father.
Song Qian has always been very concerned about Gu Yu over the years, because her own family experience gave her some empathy.
It was just that in recent times, this concern seemed to be mixed with some other emotions. The more she looked at Gu Yu, the more she felt that he was an adult and a man.
After the game, the organizers held an award ceremony. Although the Chunfeng Middle School basketball team did not win the championship trophy, they won the silver medal.
Gu Yu also won the semi-final MOP, while the league MVP and finals MVP were won by Harris and Brian from Shanghai Foreign Languages Middle School respectively.
Everyone got a prize, it was a happy reunion.
After a brief post-match interview, Gu Yu returned to the locker room and chatted with the basketball team's coach and teammates.
The journey of the Chunfeng Middle School basketball team in this national high school competition has officially ended, and the team has announced its disbandment.
After changing his clothes, Gu Yu saw many unread messages on his phone.
Including Huang Zhitao, Wang Yidi, and Qiao Yingzi's words of comfort, Song Qian told him where to wait for him to come out,
There was also encouragement and praise from his father Gu Tingfeng, as well as a surprise.
As for what the surprise was, Assistant Zhou also sent him a message, saying that Mr. Gu had prepared a gift for him.
"What! Your dad gave you a resort hotel?" Qiao Yingzi and Fang Yifan widened their eyes, opened their mouths, looked surprised, and said in unison.
Gu Yu received a gift from Gu Tingfeng from Assistant Zhou, the share transfer contract of Sunrise Kempinski International Hotel.
Gu Tingfeng felt that his son was getting older and was about to go to college.
There must be a place to gather with classmates and friends and have a party, right?
If you want to be intimate with the opposite sex, you can't always bring them home when you are not sure that they are your future partner, right?
There also needs to be a place for swimming and fitness training, basketball team or club gatherings, right?
So, Gu Tingfeng comprehensively considered that a resort hotel had solved all the problems.
“Really…really…”
Seeing Gu Yu nodded, he picked up another piece of pizza and started eating without any reaction.
Fang Yifan didn't know how to describe it for a moment. He was at a loss for words, and the key point was that the gift was beyond his comprehension.
"He is as rich as Tao Bai, and his wealth is overwhelming." Qiao Yingzi shook her head and added.
Not only the children, but also Fang Yuan and Tong Wenjie who were eating together looked at each other in surprise.
What kind of family is this? How many goals does this gift have?
Although Song Qian was also surprised by Gu Tingfeng's generosity, she was able to control her expression.
After all, she also owns five school district houses, and her ex-husband is worth hundreds of millions. She can't compare with Gu Tingfeng, but she is not short of money.
