Chapter 43 Going to Beijing
Early the next morning, Gao's father and Gao's mother accompanied Gao Xiaodong to take a long-distance bus to the provincial capital, where he would meet with two other Star of Hope players and a coach to participate in the Star of Hope competition in Yanjing. Plan the expedition ceremony.
Due to a breakdown of the bus on the road, when they arrived at the long-distance station and took a taxi to the Provincial Sports Bureau, it was more than two hours late than the scheduled time. A clerk from the Youth Sports Department of the Provincial Sports Bureau told them that the other two hopeful The star players and coaches have already set off ahead of schedule, and Gao Xiaodong's family can go directly to Yanjing by train.
Gao's father and Gao's mother were just planning to send Gao Xiaodong to the provincial capital, but now the coach and two other players left early, they were worried that Gao Xiaodong would go to Yanjing alone, which he had never been to, so they ignored Gao Xiaodong's objection, Then went to Yanjing with Gao Xiaodong.
I took a taxi to Zhaolong Hotel, a five-star hotel where Star of Hope players stayed. Looking at the majestic towering building, Gao’s father and mother were a little dizzy. Where have they been to such a luxurious hotel? take a look.
Gao Xiaodong has played in provincial competitions, and he has seen that the world is no bigger than his parents, but his psychological quality is much better, he said: Parents, go in, this is here.
Walking into the hall, looking at the spotless marble floor, Father Gao exclaimed, This is almost like a palace.
Gao's mother said, I don't know how much it costs to stay overnight.
Gao Xiaodong looked at the scrolling electronic display and said, It starts at 1,000, but we should be free.
Hearing that it cost 1,000 yuan to live there for one night, Gao's father and Gao's mother were so shocked that they couldn't keep their mouths open. The monthly wages of workers in Lucheng were less than 1,000 yuan.
At this time, the service staff of the hotel came over and asked in standard Mandarin, Do you have a reservation, sir?
Gao Xiaodong said: Do the Star of Hope players live here?
Before the waiter could answer, a young man who was sitting on the sofa in the lobby and reading a newspaper stood up and said in surprise, You live here. Are you a star player? What's your name? Which club?
Gao Xiaodong said: I am Gao Xiaodong, a star player from Lu Province.
The young man looked Gao Xiaodong up and down, a little puzzled, are football players so fat? The players who came in front were all lean and strong, but he felt that there should be no impostors here, and there might be a related account, so he said, Come here to register and get your room card.
Gao Xiaodong went over to sign, registered his ID card, got his room card, took the elevator up to the 8th floor with his parents, and came to his room.
This is a double room,
The space is large, the facilities are luxurious, and there is even a computer. There is a young man with long hair in the room, who is lying on the sofa and using a high-end Nokia n93 mobile phone to send messages.
Hi! Hello, I'm Gao Xiaodong, please take care of me.
Gao Xiaodong took the initiative to say hello to the young man.
The long-haired young man looked up at Gao Xiaodong and his parents, and without saying a word, he lowered his head to play with his mobile phone.
Nima! Gao Xiaodong was treated like air, so he felt angry and sneered, Damn it, I actually went to the livestock market.
Who are you talking about? The long-haired young man stood up abruptly. He was a very handsome young man, but his facial organs were deformed due to anger.
Seeing the other party getting angry, Gao Xiaodong felt much more comfortable, and said with a smile: Yo! You can speak human language, why is it so uninteresting?
If you keep swearing, I'll beat you up. The long-haired young man wanted to beat Gao Xiaodong up to 120,000 times, but although Gao Xiaodong was short in stature, he had a strong back, his figure could change both of them, and his expression was confident. A little timid, he took two steps and stopped.
Gao Xiaodong hooked his fingers and said, Come on, kid, I'll let you have a hand.
Father Gao, who had been watching coldly, couldn't stand it anymore. He slapped Gao Xiaodong's hand away, and said, I live in the same room, I don't see you when I look up, and I'm a teammate in the future. What are you doing, want to fight?
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: Parents, sit down, it's nothing, I'll teach him manners, I'm a good boy who is civilized and polite, how can I fight, hey, boy with long hair, can you speak well now? .”
The long-haired young man breathed a sigh of relief, and said, Short fat man, you are too lazy to talk to you.
Gao Xiaodong said: What the hell, don't talk if you ignore it.
The long-haired youth said: I want to say, can you control it?
I don't care, I care what you do. Gao Xiaodong sat down on the sofa opposite the long-haired youth, Hey, what's your name, where are you from? You're quite rude.
I'm crooked? You're not more crooked than me. Hesitating for a while, the long-haired youth finally said, My name is Yang Fan, from Landao.
Gao Xiaodong let out a cry, and said enthusiastically, My fellow countryman, my name is Gao Xiaodong, from Lucheng.
Hearing that it was a fellow villager, Yang Fan's face became much better, and he said, Lucheng? I remembered, you played well in the provincial trials, and you even had an upset and made it to the quarterfinals.
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, Have you heard of me? Lucheng Maradona.
Yang Fan stared at Gao Xiaodong with wide eyes, and remained silent for a while.
Gao Xiaodong felt hairy when he looked at him, touched his face, and said: How about it, I'm more handsome than you.
Yang Fan shook his head and said, I want to understand why you have such a thick skin.
Gao Xiaodong laughed loudly and said, I have a lot of subcutaneous fat.
Yang Fan smiled, That's right, which club do you belong to?
Gao Xiaodong said: I'm not from the club, we don't have a professional club.
Yang Fan snorted and said, Then you belong to your local football association.
Gao Xiaodong said: I'm not a member of the Football Association, I just train with the coaches of the Football Association. I'm a student of Lucheng No. 3 Middle School.
Yang Fan was taken aback, You're just a student in an ordinary high school, stupid! You're so awesome! How did you practice?
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile, I'm very talented.
Yang Fan was speechless.
Gao's father and Gao's mother were very worried when they saw Gao Xiaodong and Yu Debao at first, but now they saw the two talking and laughing happily, and they felt relieved. Let's go out and find a place to live nearby.
Gao Xiaodong said: What are you looking for, just stay in a hotel.
We are not used to living here. When we go out to buy goods, we always stay in small hotels. It is convenient to eat and go shopping.
It's a thousand yuan a night here, and I don't know how much it will cost to eat. Gao's father and mother secretly scolded Gao Xiaodong for not knowing how to live.
Okay, you can do whatever you want.
Gao Xiaodong knows that his parents are not willing to give up money, if he is alone in this room, the family of three can make do for one night, now he can only let his parents go out and find a place to live.
After Gao's father and Gao's mother left, Yang Fan continued to play on his mobile phone. Gao Xiaodong turned on the computer, connected to QQ, and was about to play games. Suddenly, he saw a new message uploaded on QQ, and he joined the class of Class 13.
After Gao Xiaodong went online, he found that the group was talking about him going abroad to play football.
Ah! Fatty is here.
Fatty, let's make a speech about going abroad.
Fatty, if you don't go to a good university, what kind of football do you play, let alone you can't play in the Chinese Super League, even if you do, there are match-fixing whistleblowers everywhere, what's the point?
Everyone was talking about it, and not many people agreed that Gao Xiaodong went abroad to play football.
Gao Xiaodong was a little dizzy when he saw the gaudy online names, and said, Can you change them to real names, or I'll scold people if I do this again.
A net name like the flow of water said: Everyone, please change your name to your real name, or you will lose the purpose of communicating with classmates.
Homecoming first changed her screen name to her real name, and it turned out to be the monitor Zhao Xiyuan.
Seeing that the squad leader changed his name, everyone else changed their real names one after another.
Li Xiu asked curiously: Student Gao Xiaodong, why did you go abroad to play football?
Gao Xiaodong said: Speaking of it is almost like bragging, so let's not talk about it.
Wu Lei said: If you say it is bragging, if you don't say it is pretending, you should say it or not.
Gao Xiaodong said: Actually, it's a very simple thing. I was picked by a foreigner during the Star of Hope Cup and was selected to train in Portugal.
Zhu Daqiang said: It's not as easy as Fatty said. This is a selection contest jointly organized by Adidas and the Chinese Football Association. Only 40 people are selected in the country, and Fatty was selected.
Wow! Fatty is amazing!
Gao Xiaodong is so good, how long has he only been playing football?
You have been playing for so long, why were you not selected?
After training abroad, can I directly play in the Chinese Super League when I return home?
...
Gao Xiaodong was speechless, and replied: Play directly in the Chinese Super League? There is such a good thing, and Nima doesn't want to fight for it. Just the related households have to go from Yanjing to Jinmenwei. It's my turn to go to training.
It's just for training. It's better to go to college. At least it's a book. Li Xiu said with a little disappointment.
Gao Xiaodong said: I like playing football.
In the group chat, Gao Xiaodong suddenly saw someone send him a message alone, Are you out of your mind? After three years of neglect, no matter what method you use, you finally have a chance to go to college. Why do you want to go to college? play football?
Gao Xiaodong saw that the screen name of the person who sent the message was Homecoming, and was taken aback. The squad leader took the initiative to send me a message. Damn, am I delusional?
The squad leader took the initiative to ask a question, how should I pretend to be aggressive? After searching on Baidu on the Internet, Gao Xiaodong wrote the following answer: Even if it is a humble reptile, it also has the dream of flying, even if it is a short and fat man, he also has the courage to gallop on the court.
Gao Xiaodong felt that his pretense was fresher and more refined, and he was satisfied to wait for the monitor to speak, but the profile picture of the monitor quickly turned gray.
Nima, run away after flirting, it's too irresponsible, Gao Xiaodong feels very boring, and has no interest in chatting, so he hides and starts playing small games.
