Zhizhong Gu pulled out a training plan from the middle of the pile. He believed those training plans stacked in the middle were surely poorly written.

With this feeling, Zhizhong Gu started reading the training plan. This training plan was also well written, with no problems at all. It's not something to fool people. How could this be?! I pulled it randomly from the middle of the pile!"

Then, Feihong Liu came to the door of Zhizhong Gu's office. The door was not closed. Feihong Liu didn't knock, but stepped hard to make a big sound, as to notify Zhizhong Gu that he was coming. Meanwhile, he said, "Gu, I'm here!"

Zhizhong Gu raised his head and took a glance at Feihong Liu. He didn't greet Feihong Liu, but instead handed him the training plan directly.

"Take a look at this physical training plan," Zhizhong Gu said.

Feihong Liu didn't take himself as an outsider. He took a seat right opposite to Zhizhong Gu and took the training plan.

"Physical training plan? This athlete was from team two!" After a glance at the name of the athlete, Feihong Liu started reading.

After quite a while, Feihong Liu said, "This training plan is quite well-written. The analysis on the advantages and weaknesses of the athlete is very clear and specific, and the training activities are well arranged. Hence, it can be used without any modification."

"You think so?" Zhizhong Gu said, meanwhile pulling out another two from the pile, looking at the name of the athlete and handing it to Feihong Liu.

"Have a look at these two. They are also for athletes from team two," Zhizhong Gu then said.

Feihong Liu took it and spent two minutes reading through it. Then he nodded his head in agreement, "I think these two are also very good, first-class training plans. If it were me making this plan, I could only do this well, exactly. This guy who wrote these two plans knows a lot about our athletes of team two. Gu, who wrote these?"

"Dai Li," said Zhizhong Gu, patting the thick pile of physical training plans.

"These are what Dai Li gave you, when the meeting was closed, right?" Feihong Liu was surprised, and then said, "These training plans are really good. Dai Li is quite competent, I'd say. It's only that his attitude toward work is somewhat not serious. He can do it well, but he chooses to fool around. There are only two or three good ones in that pile of training plans that he gave you, I'm guessing?"

Feihong Liu also mistook Dai Li, and thought he just wrote several good training plans to cover the bad ones up, and that all the other physical training plans were churned out simply to fool his boss.

Then Feihong Liu said, "Alright, Gu. You can trust this Dai Li with me. He is only a little not flippant about his work. That's not hard to deal with. I'll be tough with him to get him fully committed to work. Don't worry. I'll turn him into a first-class coach."

Zhizhong Gu smiled awkwardly, then handed Feihong Liu the twelve training plans he had already read. He said to Feihong Liu, "Look at those. These are training plans for athletes of team one."

Feihong Liu didn't know what Zhizhong Gu meant. He took the twelve physical training plans and began to read them carefully.

"This one is good, very specific and accurate."

"Pursuit racing? It's good. But it would be hard work for the training partner."

"Squat-style side slide with loads? This is really strength consuming. But it's necessary."

Feihong Liu made comments while reading the plans. After finishing several training plans, there was not even one negative comment. All his comments were positive.

Finally, Feihong Liu finished reading all twelve physical training plans and said, "Those training plans are of uniform style. They were written by one person."

Feihong Liu suddenly realized that the three training plans for athletes of team two were very similar to these twelve.

"Those are all written by Dai Li?" Feihong Liu asked.

Zhizhong Gu nodded, while Feihong Liu's face suggested that he could not believe it at all.

"You told Dai Li to make training plans last week. It has been only one week, and he has written twelve, no, with the three I read, that's a total of fifteen training plans?" Feihong Liu asked.

"When I assigned the task to Dai Li last week, we were at the training ground of team two. You were there, too," Zhizhong Gu said.

"What the hell?! I've been a coach for so many years, and I've never known anyone who could make so many training plans within one week! And those plans are all good, with no flaws at all. Fifteen training plans! He must have had to work all night, for several days, to finish these within such a short time," Feihong Liu said.

"Maybe not only 15," Zhizhong Gu suddenly said. "We just read 15, but here are also more than 60 training plans," Zhizhong Gu said, patting the thick file box.

Feihong Liu, however, shook his head, saying, "Stop kidding me, Gu. Making 78 training plans within one week? Not possible. The rest of the plans must be poorly made in order to fool you. I think it might be a simple process of copy and paste. They must be almost the exact same as those ones."

"That's what I thought minutes ago," Zhizhong Gu said, as he took all the files out of the box and handed about half of them to Feihong Liu.

"You and me, each take half of these?" Zhizhong Gu asked. He wanted to read all the rest of the training plans.

"Ok. Half each." Feihong Liu understood what Zhizhong Gu was doing immediately.

Then, a voice was heard at the door. "Gu, time to get off work. Still not going? Your wife's going to call and urge you home soon." It was Bin Wang, who walked in directly.

"Good, you are here. We have one more hand to help. Come here! We can finish reading these with you." Zhizhong Gu shared some of his files with Bin Wang, and Feihong Liu followed suit.

"Bin Wang, these are for you!" Zhizhong Gu said, pointing at the chair in front of him, gesturing him to sit.

Bin Wang walked nearer, full of curiosity. "Those are physical training plans! Let me have a look. Well, it's well written. Are all these training plans? You two both have some in your hands. There must be about sixty or seventy of them?

"Seventy-eight, to be exact," Zhizhong Gu said.

"That means there's one for every athlete in our team!" Bin Wang exclaimed, "This is a huge project, and it would take great effort to finish this. Gu, when have you gotten all these done? You were even hiding it from me? How long did it take to make all these seventy-eight training plans?"

"One week," Zhizhong Gu replied.

"Nonsense! It cannot be done in a month, let alone one week," Bin Wang said, shaking his head.

"I'm not the one who did it. It was Dai Li," Zhizhong Gu said, "He made all these seventy-eight training plans in one week, then gave them to me at the meeting today. You were sitting beside me then, so you should have seen it. Remember?"

"That's even more ridiculous. He is new here, and not even familiar with the athletes, right? How could he make all these plans, in one week? Is it that everyone of them is the same? Maybe only the name is different?" Bin Wang said immediately.

"That's why I've asked you to verify the matter. We have seen more than a dozen of these now, and there are more than sixty still left. Each of us has read twenty of these. It'll be pretty quick, especially with you now helping," Zhizhong Gu said.

…

One minute later, Bin Wang still had a shadow of disdain showing on his face.

Five minutes later, Bin Wang was much more serious.

Ten minutes later, Bin Wang frowned.

Fifteen minutes later, Bin Wang turned on an expression that said "Incredible".

Twenty minutes later, his eyes revealed a look of shock.

Bin Wang read the twenty training plans, seeing no clue of any "copy and paste" trickery. Each and every of them was unique, and made in accordance with the actual conditions of the athlete. They were just perfect.

Bin Wang took a deep breath. He suddenly rejoiced that he was not an online anchorman. Otherwise, he would have shouted out, "Good mate! Well done!"

Zhizhong Gu and Feihong Liu also finished reading their portions of training plans. They also looked like they had seen a ghost or something.

"Have you found any problems?" Zhizhong Gu asked.

"Bin Wang and Feihong Liu both shook their heads. Bin Wang said, "Let's switch now, and look again?"

"OK!" Feihong Liu agreed immediately.

They switched their training plans around among them, and then followed another twenty minutes of silence.

"Seventy-eight training plans, in one week! If I had not seen this for myself, I would not believe it, even if you beat me over the head with it, to my very death!" Binwang's voice broke the silence finally.

Feihong Liu raised his head and said, "Gu, you said on the phone that you would assign this Dai Li to team two, right? I'll call him and tell him this now."

Zhizhong Gu suddenly shuddered, "Who said that? He must stay in team one!"

"How can you go back on your own words?! What did you say on the phone just now? You said you would assign Dai Li to my team, so that I could teach him something. How can you change your mind in just one hour! You change your face more quickly than you turn the pages of a book!" Feihong Liu said, with more than a little anger.

Zhizhong Gu, however, smiled unabashedly, "Of course the good talents must stay in team one! As you just said, all these training plans could be used without any revision. You can pick up all those plans for the athletes in team two, and take them away with you. They will surely save you much time!"

"I say, Gu, you think I'm a mere beggar? This compensation is not enough at all! You must treat me to a big dinner tonight! And not in our canteen, either, as we must go and find a fancy restaurant!" Feihong Liu squabbled.

Bin Wang, however, looking at the two haggling with each other, heaved a long sigh.

"Seventy-eight training plans in one week! Is this even human? It must be a superman that Gu has hired this time!"
