Chapter 1031: 1000 Chapters Genius

Zhu Zhitao was completely astonished.

"What? Teacher He is already thirty years old? She always looks to me like she’s not even twenty-five," Zhu Zhitao exclaimed in surprise, "Her youthful appearance is quite deceptive."

"Yes, your swimming team has age restrictions, right?" Yuan Hua said with a smile. "Moreover, I heard that to qualify for the Olympics, one needs to participate in a lot of competitions and achieve good rankings to earn the qualification. So, I think it’s not feasible."

Although Zhu Zhitao was already very disappointed, he stubbornly said, "If the speed is fast enough, nothing else matters!"

"Uh huh... that’s true," Yuan Hua nodded, but he wasn’t holding out much hope for an Olympic gold medal, which seemed as distant as the horizon.

With Teacher He’s temperament, he guessed that she probably wouldn’t be willing to compete in races.

Afterwards, Yuan Hua gave the card to He Tiantian.

Another weekend arrived, and the New Year was just a few days away.

He Tiantian took advantage of Huo Yingjie’s weekend off and took him swimming directly, wanting to have a good time before the year’s end.

This time, Yuan Hua notified Zhu Zhitao.

Zhu Zhitao personally took a stopwatch to time her.

He Tiantian, wanting to prove she wasn’t lying, swam with her fastest speed. Of course, in the pursuit of speed, she did not care whether her movements were graceful.

Back and forth like this, He Tiantian actually only took 54.0 seconds.

My goodness!

Zhu Zhitao was dumbfounded, staring at the stopwatch, he said, "5... 54 seconds... "

"What did I tell you, I wasn’t lying to you," Yuan Hua said somewhat proudly. Teacher He is incredible, to swim this fast even as an amateur, truly a natural talent!

"It’s true, it’s true," Zhu Zhitao said excitedly. "Teacher He, do you want to become a professional swimmer? If so, you could swim here every day, and you could compete with other fast swimmers around the world. Wouldn’t that be exciting?"

He Tiantian was stunned, somewhat at a loss.

A professional swimmer?

Isn’t that a bit far-fetched?

If becoming a professional swimmer were so easy, then gold medals would be as common as muck and not something that people in Huaxia Country dream of achieving.

Huo Yingjie’s heart stirred, entertaining some different thoughts.

For his wife, Huo Yingjie had always hoped she would forever be under his wing, but as the years passed and life changed, he also noticed that He Tiantian felt somewhat empty inside.

From the beginning to the end, He Tiantian has lived and worked for others.

She should have her own life too, just for her own hobbies!

If He Tiantian really wished to do this, Huo Yingjie would support her.

To let He Tiantian wholeheartedly pursue something for herself, to achieve self-fulfillment.

"Being a professional athlete is very tough," He Tiantian said. "It’s not suitable for me. I’m already married with three children. If you lock me up for training, I couldn’t stand it."

It was true that she loved swimming.

However, she really didn’t want to be bound and managed.

"Er..." Zhu Zhitao was somewhat speechless, unable to voice that being a top athlete isn’t hard.

All athletes go through trials and tribulations to become top talents domestically, but their performance may falter internationally.

That’s when better natural ability and more effort are needed.

However, He Tiantian had talent, but she wasn’t putting in the effort, and she lacked the motivation to persist!

"Besides, I’m already at this age; if I really compete, I would probably be the oldest athlete. Just thinking about it makes me feel embarrassed," He Tiantian laughed, "Anyway, thanks to Assistant Zhu. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to swim here."

"What are you talking about? We’re all friends, and besides, you paid for the membership card. I just helped a little; getting the card was all you. I didn’t do much else," Zhu Zhitao said with a wry smile, "But, Teacher He, I have a favor to ask. Could you help me out?"

"What is it?" He Tiantian asked. Zhu Zhitao was a decent person, and his personality complemented Yuan Hua’s, so she was willing to do him the favor.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Zhitao said, "Teacher He, you haven’t undergone professional training, but you swim so fast just by talent. I was hoping to have our team doctor give you a physical to see what kind of physical qualities a naturally gifted person has. With this data, we’ll have a reference when selecting athletes in the future."

He Tiantian, seeing that it was just a physical examination, nodded and agreed, "Sure, that’s fine. But it’s almost Chinese New Year, and I’m a bit busy. It will probably have to wait until after the holiday."

"That works for us; we’re about to go on holiday too," Zhu Zhitao said with a smile, "Thank you, Teacher He."

Zhu Zhitao left with a somewhat distant look and headed for the office.

He Tiantian, Huo Yingjie, and Yuan Hua swam for a while, felt that it was enough, and then went home.

During the New Year season, both the Huo Family Old Mansion and the Huo Family in Maoer Alley were very busy.

He Tiantian pushed these matters to the back of her mind.

It wasn’t until after the Lantern Festival that things really quieted down at home.

Once she had some downtime, He Tiantian wanted to go swimming again.

Because of the New Year, Huo Yingjie was behind on some work and had been working overtime during this period.

He Tiantian felt bad asking Huo Yingjie to join her, so she took Wei Yuanyuan and called Yuan Hua to go swimming.

"Teacher He, even if you don’t come to find me, I would still invite you to go swimming," Yuan Hua complained with a wry smile, "Look, I’ve been enjoying delicious food every day since the New Year, and now I’ve got a big layer of fat on my belly. I heard Zhu Zhitao say swimming is the most energy-consuming sport, so I need to go swimming more often."

"Yes, swimming does burn a lot of calories, but you get hungry afterward, so you can’t eat too much. If you overeat, you won’t lose weight; you might even get fatter," He Tiantian warned. Yuan Hua was a tall girl from the Northeast, and gaining weight would make her tall and sturdy.

"Mm-hmm, I’ll remember that, definitely going to diet," Yuan Hua promised, "I’m so envious of Teacher He; you eat so much and still don’t get fat."

He Tiantian smiled, "That’s because my workout volume is high, so I don’t get fat."

The two arrived at the swimming pool.

There weren’t many people inside, and they swam comfortably.

When they got out, Zhu Zhitao came over and said, "Teacher He, when would be a good time for you to get that check-up?"

"Oh!" He Tiantian suddenly remembered the promise she had made to Zhu Zhitao before, "Sure, I’m free today. Shall we go now?"

"The team doctor is available now; let’s head over," Zhu Zhitao said with a nod and a smile.

After changing clothes, Yuan Hua said, "Teacher He, I’ll come with you."

"Sure," He Tiantian said, linking arms with Yuan Hua and following Zhu Zhitao inside.

The team doctors had the equipment ready and began to conduct a series of tests on He Tiantian, including muscle testing, lung capacity, body proportions, and more. Some reports would not be immediately available and would probably take two or three days.
