When Wang Shen entered the office of the team leader, both the high jump coach and the team leader were already waiting for him.

"Greetings, Coach Ye and Team Leader."

Wang Shen greeted the two with his usual smile, appearing calm and composed, as if he had no idea why the team leader and coach urgently called him back before he had even returned to the team.

The high jump team's team leader, Ye Tao, was a cheerful person, skilled at handling various interpersonal relationships within the team, providing psychological guidance to athletes, and handling communication tasks.

On the other hand, Wang Shen's coach, Li Mingzhuo, typically had a stern expression and an air of authority when training athletes.

After Wang Shen entered, both Li Mingzhuo and Ye Tao greeted him and motioned for him to sit down to discuss. Once Wang Shen was seated, they handed him the current online news articles about him.

"Go ahead, is there any connection between you and this TV show production?"

Wang Shen continued to smile calmly and replied, "The TV show production contacted me, but I declined."

Huh?

Li Mingzhuo and Ye Tao exchanged a glance and raised their eyebrows in surprise.

"You declined?"

Wang Shen smiled and, without any hesitation, pulled up the chat records of his conversations with the show's contact person and showed them to Li Mingzhuo and Ye Tao.

Ye Tao was briefly taken aback by Wang Shen's straightforwardness. After nodding at Wang Shen, he glanced at Wang Shen's chat records on his phone.

External Relations - Xiao Zhang: [Hello, I am from "The Strongest Challenger" Are you interested in collaborating on our show?]

External Relations - Xiao Zhang: [Mr. Wang, your father told me that you shouldn't be too busy before the winter training period. Many athletes take leave during this time. You only need a one-week break to complete our filming. It won't have any impact on you personally.]

External Relations - Xiao Zhang: [You see, with this collaboration, we can sign directly with you, avoiding sharing any earnings with the national team. Your remuneration will also be quite high...]

External Relations - Xiao Zhang: [...Mr. Wang?]

Wang Shen: [^^ I'm sorry, for now, my training tasks take priority.]

External Relations - Xiao Zhang: [Mr. Wang, this collaboration is a rare opportunity. Our show is a flagship program with full support from the station's resources. It would be beneficial for your personal development. Your image is good, and if you're interested in entering the entertainment industry in the future, starting with our show would be a great beginning...]

Wang Shen's smile didn't waver as he shared these messages. It was evident that he had been approached by the TV show production for a collaboration but had turned it down, even though the offer was quite tempting.

External Relations - Xiao Zhang: [Let me say something you might not like. An athlete's career lasts only a few years, and the popularity of the high jump event itself isn't great. You need to consider your future, right?]

...

...

Wang Shen: [^^ I'm sorry, thank you for your kind offer, but there's no need.]

After this conversation, the other party also attempted to make a voice call, but all the call records showed that Wang Shen declined. Later, there were no more messages, likely because the show's staff realized that Wang Shen was resolute in his decision.
