Chapter 44

In the evening, Liu Jian, director of the Youth Training Department of the Football Association, Chen Qiang of the brokerage company and Qi Hui, head of China of Adidas, held a meeting for the young players who will go to Portugal for training. At the departure ceremony tomorrow, the deputy director of the National Sports Bureau and the president of the football association are coming. They must give an account to these young people, so as not to cause trouble tomorrow.

There are as many as 40 players playing in Portugal, but Gao Xiaodong is absolutely the most conspicuous. There is a sense that bears come to wolves.

Liu Jian, director of the youth training department, rubbed his eyes and asked Chen Qiang in a low voice, "Mr. Chen, is that the player picked by Porto scout Andrews?"

Chen Qiang took the data sheet for comparison and said: "almost, he is the fattest in the whole audience."

Liu Jian said with a bitter smile: "this vision is unique enough."

Chen Qiang also wry smile, said: "it is a bit heavy taste."

Liu Jian beckoned Gao Xiaodong and said, "come here, that fat guy."

Gao Xiaodong is chatting with Yang Fan in a low voice. He suddenly hears someone calling fat guy. He is very sensitive to fat words. He turns his head and sees Liu Jian waving to him. He doesn't know what's going on and walks up to the rostrum nervously.

Liu Jian asked, "your name is Gao Xiaodong?"

"Yes," said Gao Xiaodong

Liu Jian then said, "where did you learn your skills?"

Fuck, there's such a question, but Gao Xiaodong said honestly, "he trained with Lu city football team."

Liu Jian nodded and said, "how do you think you are playing?"

This question is more advanced than the one just now. It seems that he is not satisfied with himself. Gao Xiaodong is a little upset and says: "leader, just my personal feeling?"

"Of course," said Liu

Gao Xiaodong said: "it's just my personal feeling. I don't feel proud at all. I think my level is at least after the national ceremony. In the afternoon, the players will fly to Portugal thousands of miles away. The Preparatory Committee has left two hours for the players to say goodbye to their parents.

Gao Xiaodong went back to his room with his parents and said regretfully, "when I came to Yanjing, I didn't come to accompany you. Don't leave this afternoon. Let's have a look at the Forbidden City, the summer palace and the great man Memorial Hall. Let's go tomorrow."

Father Gao said: "turn what turn, see not still like that, might as well eat a juquande roast duck."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Dad, it's spiritual enjoyment. How can we compare juquande roast duck?"

Gao said: "how can't compare, all have to spend money, are happy."

Gao Xiaodong is speechless.

"In fact, I'd like to eat juquande roast duck," Gao said

Gao Xiaodong said with a bitter smile: "well, I'll ask which store's juquande roast duck is the best, with the highest cost performance and the best discount."

Gao Xiaodong asked the waiter. The waiter told him that the roast duck in Zhaolong Hotel was no worse than that in juquande. But when asked about the price, Gao Xiaodong was defeated. It cost 700 yuan to eat a roast duck.

Time is tight, Gaofu no longer insist on taking the bus, took a taxi to a Quanjude roast duck restaurant called Yiheyuan, ordered a roast duck, 198, and ordered two small dishes, a total of 248 yuan.

Gao's father and mother ate the meat with pain. One time they thought the meat was too fat and greasy. They were not as good as the 12 yuan roast duck in Lucheng. Another time they thought there were too few shredded green onion and sweet sauce. They ate it up in one bite. In short, they were not satisfied with all kinds of things.

After dinner, the waiter asked for a 10% service charge, which made Gao's father furious. He said that what you have done is to add a little soup, even the service of cutting 108 slices on TV is not available, and he even charged a 10% service charge. This is not killing outsiders. I want to call 315 to complain to you.

When asking for money, the waiter's attitude was very good and patient. He said, this is the rule. If you look at other guests, they also have to pay the service fee.

Gao's father was really waiting to see. Sure enough, all the guests paid 10% of the service fee, but Gao had no choice but to pay 24.8 yuan more.

After leaving Yiheyuan and arriving at Zhaolong Hotel, Gao Xiaodong saw that his father was complaining all the time and said with a smile, "this is not as happy as watching the Forbidden City."

Father Gao said, "you can't accompany us. We'll see what the Forbidden City means. Although it's a little expensive, we were very angry at that time. Now, it's not bad."

Gao said: "son, when you have time, you will make a lot of money and accompany us to visit Yanjing."

Gao Xiaodong waved his hand and said, "well, when I become famous and rich, I will accompany you to travel all over the world."

Gao's father forced himself to cry and said to Gao Xiaodong, "it's almost time. Go up. Your mother and I won't take you to the airport. Your mother can't see you leave by plane."

Gao's mother wiped her tears and said, "Xiao Dong, when you get there, remember to call. Don't think long distance is expensive. Your father can make money."

Gao Xiaodong wiped his mother's tears with his sleeves and said, "Mom, don't cry. I'm not coming back. I'm leaving. You can go back."Gao Xiaodong hugged his mother and father. This is the first time he hugged his father since he was in junior high school. Then he turned and entered the hotel.
