Seeing that Qiu Wen and the others were talking to Zhang Ziyi and Guo Dun, Hu Shaowen couldn't help but feel uneasy. He pulled Su Bai over to where they were.

Until they got closer, Hu Shaowen could vaguely hear what Zhang Ziyi was saying to Qiu Wen.

"Xiao Qiu, our B City Athletics Team is very sincere, and we're just inviting Coach Su to exchange and learn about the coaching and training experience for the 400-meter event..."

Qiu Wen looked a bit puzzled, "No, Zhang Ge, why are you telling me this? Coaching exchanges and learning about these things should be something that your team contacts our athletics team directly for, right?"

Zhang Ziyi understood what S Province Athletics Team was implying from this response — that the information was being withheld from the leadership, and neither Su Bai nor his athletes knew about it.

Thinking this, Zhang Ziyi sighed deeply, "Of course, we have contacted  S Province Athletics Team about this as well, but their reply was that Coach Su is busy and can't make it, and they can't decide on this matter."

Qiu Wen nodded in agreement, "That makes sense. Xiao Bai has been really busy lately. Besides our 400-meter project, he's also overseeing Ah Heng's hurdles training. On top of that, he has to cook in the cafeteria every day. He's truly exhausted."

Seeing Qiu Wen's righteous expression, Zhang Ziyi felt awkward, "Of course, we're not looking to invite Coach Su for immediate exchange now. We're proposing a winter training session. From what we know, many athletics teams are interested in inviting Coach Su for exchange. So, we wanted to make an early reservation for the winter training period, hoping that Coach Su could come and take a look. The treatment will definitely be top-notch. However, S Province Athletics Team hasn't agreed at all..."

Regarding the 400-meter event, the B City Athletics Team was seriously researching it, and S Province Athletics Team's recent performance hadn't gone unnoticed by them.

Online discussions speculated that there was tension between the B City Athletics Team and the S Province Athletics Team, but that wasn't entirely accurate. On the field, in the face of strong opponents, tensions were expected.

As for off the field... they wanted to invite Su Bai to their side for a proper exchange. Who could have expected that their sincere invitation would be met with the response, "We can't make decisions on this matter either"?

From their point of view, how could S Province Athletics Team not have the authority to decide?

Seeing Hu Shaowen bringing Su Bai closer, they overheard this conversation, and Hu Shaowen felt relieved that this wasn't some malicious situation he was worrying about.

Su Bai thought for a moment and called out Qiu Wen's name in the direction of their conversation.

"Hey!" Hearing the voice, Qiu Wen turned his head and immediately greeted Su Bai with a smile, "Xiao Bai, what's up?"

Hearing Qiu Wen call him "Xiao Bai," Zhang Ziyi and Guo Dun both showed delight—it was finally the real deal!

Following Qiu Wen's call, they finally laid eyes on the renowned 400-meter coach of the S Province Athletics Team, Su Bai.

Before coming to find him today, they had inquired about Su Bai's appearance. However, it was only after seeing him in person that they truly understood the concept of being "young."

Presently, Su Bai was wearing a simple white sports jacket, his coach's pass hanging around his neck. His hair was slightly longer than the average athlete's, not cropped as short as most of them were.
