Chapter 1,077 Visiting Friends
After Gao Xiaodong returned to Yishan, he went to Lucheng on the third day to visit Chu Qingdong, the director of the Lucheng Sports Bureau and Wang Dong, the principal of the Lucheng Football School, who had supported him.
Basically, Gao Xiaodong would visit Chu Qingdong and Wang Dong every time he returned to Lucheng, bring them some gifts bought from Europe, and have a meal together.
Thanks to the rise of Gao Xiaodong, Chu Qingdong became the head of the Lucheng Sports Bureau near the year of retirement. This was an unexpected surprise for Chu Qingdong, but Chu Qingdong's rise to power was a good thing for Lucheng Sports.
With Gao Xiaodong's influence and investment, Chu Qingdong built a football school with more than 500 students in the economically backward fourth-tier city of Lucheng, and won the first place in football at the Shandong Middle School Games and the youth football league championship.
Wang Dong can also be regarded as a beneficiary after Gao Xiaodong became famous. Originally he was just an unknown figure, but as Gao Xiaodong became famous, he also became a great Bole because of his discovery of Gao Xiaodong's talent, and has many fans in Chinese football. .
The rapidly increasing reputation also brought great benefits to Wang Dong. When the football school was founded in Lucheng, he became the first principal without hesitation. It can be said that he gained both fame and fortune.
Gao Xiaodong's visit made Chu Qingdong very happy. He was not polite to Gao Xiaodong. He accepted the wine, wallet, and clothes that Gao Xiaodong brought, and took Gao Xiaodong to find Wang Dong. "Let's go, let's go find Wang Dong. Last time he took me to a very nice place to eat, but I forgot the place and asked him to take us there."
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Teacher Chu, don't look for excuses, you just want to kill the big family."
Chu Qingdong laughed and said: "You kid, if you want to kill a big business, Wang Dong can be bigger than you."
Gao Xiaodong said: "Don't get involved with me. You and Principal Wang are the hosts this year. It doesn't matter which one of you invites guests. Anyway, I won't invite you."
Chu Qingdong smiled and said, "Then you come with me."
Lucheng Football School is on the outskirts of the city, not far from the Sports Bureau, just ten minutes' drive away.
When Gao Xiaodong's Range Rover arrived at the gate of the football school, it was immediately recognized by the guard, because only Gao Xiaodong's Land Rover had a tail number of 5 and 9, and Gao Xiaodong was also the honorary principal of Lucheng Football School.
The guard opened the door and let Gao Xiaodong and Chu Qingdong in. Then he called Wang Dong and said that Gao Xiaodong was here.
Wang Dong was very happy and hurried from the office to the parking lot.
After saying hello to Chu Qingdong first, Wang Dong said to Gao Xiaodong: "I saw the news about your return to China.
I guess it's time for you to return to Lucheng. Why didn't you call in advance? "
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "What's the matter? I still need to make an appointment in advance."
Wang Dong smiled and said: "No, no, if you tell me in advance, I can make arrangements easily."
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "It's not too late."
Chu Qingdong looked at his watch and said, "Wang Dong, how about we go to the top of the mountain where we went last time to eat stewed goose?"
Wang Dong said: "Let's go wherever the teacher says. However, there is still time, so go to the office for a sip of tea first."
Gao Xiaodong said: "What good tea do you have?"
Wang Dong said: "Jin Junmei from Zhengshan Tea Factory is certainly not a good person to you."
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Who said that? I can't drink it abroad. Let's go and try it."
Gao Xiaodong said, opened the trunk and took out the wine and clothes brought for Wang Dong, "Coach, this is for you, give me some tea later."
Wang Dong ignored Gao Xiaodong, took the gift, and said with a smile: "Okay, just don't take it all for me."
Arriving at Wang Dong's principal's office, Wang Dong made tea for Gao Xiaodong and Chu Qingdong, and the three of them drank tea and chatted.
Chu Qingdong and Wang Dong were very concerned about Gao Xiaodong. They also read the news about Gao Xiaodong's return to China, and they also saw some things on the Internet that were not mentioned in print media and TV. Today they met Gao Xiaodong, and they directly Just asked.
Gao Xiaodong told the two people what happened and sighed: "I didn't expect that the Football Association helped me settle the matter in the end."
Chu Qingdong looked serious and said: "Xiaodong, now you are famous, have a high status, and are rich. It is estimated that no one will dare to say anything about you anymore, but my old man has known you since you were a little kid, and you can't speak well." I'm not afraid of you being angry. What you did was a little impulsive. As a superstar and a person with world influence, how can you hit someone? Do you know how many people regard you as an idol? Do you know that your behavior will affect How many people? Do you know that there are many groupies who like to imitate their idols?"
Wang Dong also said seriously: "I can testify to this. The last time you came to the football school, you were wearing sunglasses. Later, I found that almost all the students in our school have a pair of sunglasses, and they talk about "holding grass"."
Gao Xiaodong smiled bitterly and said, "Coach, it can't be so outrageous."
Wang Dong said: "That's it. Don't underestimate your influence."
Chu Qingdong said: "Yes, as a public figure, you must have a glorious and upright image in front of the public."
Gao Xiaodong said with a playful smile: "I just need to have a two-faced face."
Gao Xiaodong was so tired that Chu Qingdong couldn't keep a straight face and said with a smile: "You kid, you can't be serious. What I'm talking about is very important. As a public figure, you have to enjoy the benefits brought by celebrities. Without sacrificing any freedom or spontaneity.”
Gao Xiaodong said seriously this time: "I understand. Thank you teacher for reminding me."
Wang Dong smiled and said: "Teacher, you are overthinking. A smart person like Xiaodong, with a team of managers behind him, can't understand this."
Chu Qingdong said: "I'm just afraid that he will become so big that no one dares to say anything, so I'm just reminding him."
Gao Xiaodong said: "You're right to remind me, I feel like I'm also swollen. You can see I have a beer belly."
"This kid." Chu Qingdong was speechless.
Wang Dong smiled and said: "Xiaodong, if the Football Association helps you, I'm afraid it won't do good things like Lei Feng."
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Up to now, I have been imitating Lei Feng in doing good deeds and dedicating silently without asking for anything in return."
Chu Qingdong laughed and said: "People like the Football Association are very worried. I guess it's not time to mention it yet. I think they definitely want you to return to the national team."
Wang Dong said: "Yes, the national football coach has not yet figured out how to greet you. I think after the coach is selected, he will probably ask you to play for the country."
Gao Xiaodong shrugged and said: "Serving the country is a citizen's duty."
Wang Dong said: "Stop playing tricks, are you ready to return to the national team?"
Chu Qingdong said: "What else do we need to prepare? After the anti-gambling and gang crackdown, our football world is basically clean. What will Xiaodong do if he doesn't come back?"
Wang Dongdao: "Although the Football Association has made great efforts to combat gambling and organized crime, the national team is full of gangs and the quality of the players is low. Xiaodong has never been in a domestic team. I am worried that he will not be able to suppress the situation when he comes back."
Chu Qingdong said: "There is nothing I can't suppress, as long as the coach and the Football Association support me."
Wang Dong shook his head and said: "As expected, the coach is a foreign coach. They can manage the players. There are also many gangs within the Football Association. It's hard to say how much support Xiaodong can get."
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Let's talk about it then. Thinking about it now is just asking for trouble."
Chu Qingdong smiled and said: "Xiaodong is right, take it one step at a time."
Wang Dong also said: "What I am saying is that Xiaodong's achievements in the club are rare in the world. Even if he fails to succeed in the national team, it will not affect Xiaodong's greatness."
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Coach, please don't praise me like this. I will be proud."
Wang Dong smiled and said: "Who is praising you? I am telling the truth. If you don't want to hear it, I won't tell you. Let's go and eat stewed goose."
