48 The press conference

As the main coach of the Hanbei Provincial swimming team, Zhongyi Xu sat in the center of the platform during the press conference. There were dozens of reporters sitting in front of the stage. Some were from local media outlets and some were here representing each of their respective internet sites.

"Coach Xu, I heard that Feifei Yu was expelled from the national team. Is that true?"

"Coach Xu, it has been said that Feifei Yu gained a few kilograms and that she is over 70kg now. Is that accurate?"

"Coach Xu, as the enlightened coach of Feifei Yu, what do you think of her being less hard-working during training?"

Xu waved at the reporters to signal to everyone to be quiet. He didn't speak until everyone else finished speaking. "I saw the news on the internet. So I'll take responsibility here and announce that those are all rumors. Feifei Yu is still a member of the national team!"
