Episode 19 -

Ouyang Heng accepted QKVideo's interview?

He did accept our interview, but I wasn't the one who interviewed him. I don't know what he said.

Also, don't kid around with my professionalism.

The competition is coming soon.

In this Dream cup competition, there is someone I must beat.

I know he just broke a record.

That's fine because that record will soon become history.

I want Tang Yibai to improve even more.

Because I will break his record every time.

I will defeat you thoroughly during the competition.

This is my pre-competition speech.

I also have some words to say to a girl.

Little One, if you can hear me now,

even if who you think is your most important person has already forgotten you,

you still have someone who is swimming for you.

He will continue to win for you.

Yesterday when he saw me, Ouyang Heng said...

What did he say?

He said I look like Little One.

Who's this Little One?

Who's this Little One? Do you know?

I don't know. I'm heading back to practice.

Who's this Little One?

This name sounds so familiar. Did I hear it somewhere?

Cheng Mei, how did you do it? How did you get Ouyang Heng to accept an interview?

That's right. Tell us the secret.

I, actually...

Cheng Mei, you're so awesome. You're first place.

So, we have to both work hard.

I will work hard. I'm happy for you.

That's right. You didn't tell me how you got to interview Ouyang Heng.

Did he really agree to interview once he saw you?

I don't know. He probably was touched by my sincerity.

Are you having a meeting?

Yun Duo, stop right there. Come here you two.

I remember you have a case to interview Tang Yibai.

Cheng Mei's previous interview with Ouyang Heng aroused interest online.

The netizens are curious about what happened with Ouyang Heng and Tang Yibai in the past.

I hope you can investigate this situation during the interviews.

Cheng Mei, help me find out who this Little One is.

What's her relationship with Tang Yibai?

I always feel like there is so much going on with these three.

We need to know about everything that has a possibility of affecting competition results.

This way, we can find the perfect angle for our reports. Understand?

You two do well. Whether or not you can become a reporter all depends on this.

Go on.

I finally know why Tang Yibai is so interested in you.

In certain aspects, you are very similar to my friend, Little One.

Who's this Little One?

She knows Tang Yibai, Qi Ruifeng, and Ouyang Heng.

Could it be their high school friend or a teammate?

Sounds like a girl to me.

"The Legendary Little One." The netizens are so resourceful.

They can even find this information? Let me check it out.

What's going on?

Now, your pinky enters the water first. In the past, didn't you enter the water like this?

If you enter with this position, you can take it back immediately.

This way, your shoulder doesn't need to twist.

Do you understand? If you do this, you wont get hurt as much.

Tang Yibai!

The photo of you giving QKVideo's reporter a piggy back ride. Do you have something to say to us, your fans?

You were so intimate with her. What's your relationship? - That's right. Please explain.

Hey, sorry. We are about to train. - Answer us.

Why did Tang Yibai only answer that girl's questions? Why did he even carry her?

Tang Yibai, we are cheering for you. Why are you so unfair?

That's right. Explain yourself.

We are heading to training. Excuse me. Thank you.

Tang Yibai. - Excuse me.

She's the girl who got a piggy back ride from Tang Yibai.

She's the one that kept on following him.

I heard she kept pestering Tang Yibai for interviews after his comeback.

Now, Tang Yibai can't even hide from her. - That's right. She doesn't suit him.

What are you doing dressed like this?

I don't know. For some reason, I've become the center of attention.

Everybody probably saw the news. Director Liu is looking for you.

Yibai, how could you make such a mistake in this critical time? An athlete's reputation is so important.

This has a big impact on whether or not you can join Asia Elite Training Team. Do you know that?

Yibai already explained to me.

Yun Duo injured her ankle. Yibai, as a friend, was carrying her to get a ride.

That's all. It is not a scandal.

How could this impact his joining of Asia Elite Training Team?

That's your opinion. Asia Elite Training Team's coaches wouldn't see it this way.

Tang Yibai and that girl's scandal is crazy online.

The Training team's coaches are already doubting Tang Yibai's

ability to continue making breakthroughs, without being affected by his private life.

I won't guarantee for others, but I can guarantee for Yibai.

He won't be affected by anything.

What about 4 years ago? Who didn't take care of their own problems

and ended up leaving the pool?

Don't underestimate the career as a swimmer.

A competitor's performance in the pool isn't everything. Outside the pool,

any action can affect a swimmer's career.

Yibai, even though our swim team doesn't have specific rules on your social lives,

this is the most important time of your swimming career.

At this time, you should keep your distance with that Yun Duo.

From now on, I forbid QKVideo from personally interviewing you.

I forbid that girl from approaching any of our team especially you.

I wanted you to write news,

not for you to become the main character of the news.

Do you really want to be famous?

Director Liu, I didn't know someone was taking pictures.

Tell me why is your interviewee carrying you, an intern reporter, across the street?

It's easy for passers-by to know what's going on.

Because of you, our videos have been completely drowning in protest comments.

Tang Yibai and your photo has become sports and entertainment news' main topic.

Take a look yourself. Look at what the netizens are saying.

They're saying that Tang Yibai favors QKVideo

all because of you. They claim we are using you to seduce him.

We send out a pretty reporter to steal exclusive news.

They also say the scandal between you and Tang Yibai is created by us.

That's not the truth. I can go and clarify it.

You clarify it? How about I hold a press conference for you?

Let's flat-out say QKVideo is using you to create news.

Head Coach Yuan, you're worried that Yun Duo will affect me

because you are worried that this picture

will prevent me from joining the Asia Elite Training Team.

What if I tell you now that I never planned to accept Coach Fei's offer?

I actually wanted to say a long time ago, but I didn't find the chance.

Coach Fei, I thank you for your offer to join the Asia Elite Training Team.

But as long as my swim team needs me, I will not ditch my teammates and leave alone.

So, sorry. I can't accept your offer now. Please understand.

Head Coach Yuan, you can now stop worrying about how the Asia Elite Training Team coaches see me.

I hope you will take back your words about Yun Duo interviewing me.

Yibai. - I understand your concern; however, it is not my first time facing rumors.

I know if I allow those rumors to stop Yun Duo and I from socializing,

it will only let others believe that those rumors are true.

She is my friend. I can't let her get hurt like that.

To be truthful, Yun Duo, I believe you're not that type of person.

However, this situation has affected QKVideo's professionalism.

Let me remind you guys.

No matter what, you must remember that you're a reporter.

Unfortunately,

I must make a decision.

Yun Duo, from now on, I have to take away your qualifications to be an intern reporter.

Clean up your stuff and leave QK Video.

Don't, don't, don't. It isn't that serious to be firing her, Director Liu.

That's right, Director Liu. Yun Duo said it was a misunderstanding. Trust her.

Okay, okay. Stop speaking for her.

I already decided. No matter what the reason is.

That picture is the truth. It already affected the company negatively.

For the good of the company's credibility, Yun Duo must leave.

I understand. I will go now.

Wait a second.

Director Liu, if you are really trying to protect the company's credibility,

at this moment, you must not fire Yun Duo.

I know that you are worried about QK Video's professionalism being affected.

If we fire Yun Duo now,

aren't we telling people

that we are really obtaining our exclusive news with evil tactics?

What do you think we should do?

Do nothing. - Do nothing?

That's right. We don't have to express, say, or clarify anything.

Nonsense. Are you joking?

Every employee at QK Video upholds the same values.

We have the same news ideals and came here after many options.

The credibility of QK Video is built upon every reporter and editor's professional conduct.

If we only look at this picture without any background story,

and accuse our own people just as others are,

it will be the biggest doubt to QK Video.

Yun Duo, immediately make a report.

Tell me everything about this picture.

We will temporarily keep your status as an intern reporter.

But before the editorial board judges your report,

you must avoid everything to do with Tang Yibai and South Physical's swim team.

All right. Don't worry. Director Liu, I will assign her work immediately.

Yibai, listen to me. Will you really hold this grudge against Head Coach Yuan and Fei Yu because of Yun Duo?

I'm not holding a grudge.

You're not?

Wait, wait, wait. You're not holding a grudge? - No.

Okay, let me ask you. Why aren't you joining the Asia Elite Training Team?

I already said so clearly.

I didn't do that for Yun Duo.

I didn't only do it for myself. I did it for my swim teammates.

Tang Yibai!

You put your team before your own benefits.

I really admire this attitude of yours.

I want to ask you a question. Do you know what you are doing?

Do you know what you have given up?

I know.

You don't know. You don't know anything.

Your current self has the chance to join Asia Elite Training Team

only because you have become famous after one competition.

You haven't lost in public yet.

Everyone would anticipate for you. However, if you participate in the Dream Cup,

you won't have any hope anymore.

What do you mean? Are you saying Yibai can't win the next round?

He can't win the Dream Cup?

That's right.

If he continues to stay on this type of swim team,

in this type of place, in this type of training method.

Let's not talk about championship, he can't even get into the top eight.

What do you mean? Are you saying I'm nonexistent?

I'm still Yibai's main coach right now.

Main Coach? - That's right.

You aren't even embarrassed about being his main coach?

You can't even protect your own team member?

You wasted four of his years. You don't qualify to be his coach.

It's okay.
