Chapter 90: Praise Makes People Improve

By the end of the game it was already night in Germany, but for Dortmund fans, the night life had only just begun.

Germans are reserved by nature, so their nightlife is notoriously dull.

But don't think that the Germans are really the kind of people who are going through life with a straight face. When it's time to be crazy, they are probably more crazy than anyone.

This can be seen from the red-light districts that are scattered all over Germany's big cities.

Football is naturally a sport that can make people crazy.

After Dortmund defeated Schalke 04 3:2 away, if you are in Dortmund at this time, you will hear the car horns and roars coming from the streets and alleys.

It's all excited Dortmund fans venting their emotions.

In the first half of this season, Dortmund lost 0:1 to Schalke 04 at home.

That game is simply a dark memory for Dortmund fans.

They are still reluctant to recall how the Schalke 04 fans celebrated right under their noses after the game.

But now, the breath that has been pent up in their hearts for more than half a season has finally been vented!

And all this is because of a Chinese kid named "Zhou Yi".

Immediately after the game ended, an article about the game was published on the website of "Ruhr News".

In the comment area below this article, almost all of them praised and praised Zhou Yi.

"...Zhou Yi's performance is really great! He makes me tremble all over!"

"Hey, dude upstairs, did you orgasm? Haha! Just kidding. But I feel the same way! When I saw Zhou Yi shoot the football into Neuer's goal, I felt better than having sex with my wife Cool!"

"Amazing Chinese boy! I have to believe what Barrios said, he is really an oriental wizard from mysterious China! He really knows some amazing magic!"

"Zhou Yi is a phenomenal young talent! I used to think that Gotze was a genius who came out once in 30 years in Dortmund, but now I think Zhou Yi is better than him, maybe he comes out every 50 years?"

"I love Zhou Yi! I want to learn Chinese so that I can communicate with him! I want him to know how much I love him!"

"God,

Let alone the Chinese who play table tennis well, they even play football so well now. In addition, they are very rich...do they want to live! "

"I have been to China. It is really an amazing country. They are changing themselves rapidly. I don't think it will be long. Maybe they will change the world very quickly!"

...

At first, I praised Zhou Yi's message. Later, a group of people simply exchanged all topics related to China in the comment area, including Chinese food. China's economy, China's culture, and of course politics are also indispensable.

Thanks to Zhou Yi. Many Germans learned about China through the comment section, although not comprehensively. It may be one-sided, but at least it is different from the China they learned about in Germany's own TV programs.

After the Schalke 04 game, the Dortmund team rushed back to Dortmund overnight. Anyway, the two cities are not far apart, and it won't take long by car.

After returning to Dortmund. The players disbanded on the spot and went home to rest. All players who have participated in this game will not be used for training at the base all day tomorrow. You can always rest at home.

The bus was parked in the parking lot at Braker's training base, and the players got off the bus, got into their own cars, and drove home.

But Zhou Yi is the only one in the first team who doesn't have a car, but he doesn't live far away, and he can get there in less than ten minutes if he runs.

Gross Kreutz drove to the gate of the training base. Seeing that Zhou Yi had just left the gate, he poked his head out and said to Zhou Yi, "Hi, Zhou Yi, I suggest you consider buying a car for yourself."

"Why? I don't need to buy a car so close..."

"It has nothing to do with distance," Grosskreuz said solemnly.

"But I don't know how to drive either. Even if I buy a car, I can't drive it." Zhou Yi spread his hands.

"Okay..." Zhou Yi's reason left Gross Kreutz speechless. "Then I wish you luck."

After speaking, he kicked the accelerator and drove the car away.

Zhou Yi, on the other hand, was standing by the side of the road, thinking about what Gross Kreutz meant by his last words.

If you don’t drive yourself and don’t have a car, isn’t that what the listener said on the spot? Why wish yourself good luck?

The next day, Zhou Yi thought he could have a good rest at home, but he received a call from his agent, Tim Kiester, at eight o'clock.

Tell him that there are a lot of media who want to interview him. He has sorted out the names of these media, and hopes that Zhou Yi can choose a few of them to be interviewed.

"I sent it to your email, you can take a look."

Zhou Yi found that his manager was good at everything, but there was one thing that made him speechless, that was his fighting spirit.

It's only eight o'clock! Just a phone call woke me up from the bed...and let no one sleep?

So Zhou Yi tactfully suggested to Kister: "In the future, you can notify me a little later, Tim."

"Ah, I'm sorry, Zhou Yi. Did I disturb your sleep?" Kister's voice on the phone was a little flustered.

"No...just..." Hearing Kester's tone, Zhou Yi felt as if he had played the role of a villain, and he didn't know what to say, but at this moment, he yawned just right .

So there was no need to explain, Kester knew that he had disturbed Zhou Yi's rest.

He quickly apologized to Zhou Yi, and then quickly hung up the phone on the grounds that he would not disturb Zhou Yi's sleep.

Although his apology was sincere, Zhou Yi was woken up after answering a phone call, and it was impossible to continue to sleep.

So I had no choice but to get up from the bed with a wry smile and go to the bathroom to wash up.

The room was quiet at this time, Cortana and Hannah had already gone to school, and now Zhou Yi was alone here. So Zhou Yi didn't wear a coat, but just wore a pair of underwear, and walked around the heated room with his upper body naked, not worried about getting naked.

If there were no Cortana and Hannah in the room, Zhou Yi would sometimes dress like this because he was lazy.

No one could see it anyway.

After washing up, Zhou Yi still only wore a pair of underwear, and walked into the kitchen with his upper body naked. Open the refrigerator. I poured myself a glass of cold milk, heated two slices of toast with the toaster, and then dug out two slices of ham and a slice of cheese from the refrigerator, and sandwiched them in the hot toast.

This makes for an easy breakfast.

At last he held the milk in one hand. Holding the bread in one hand, he walked back to his room. Turned on his computer and started looking at the e-mails Tim Kiester had sent him.

Opening the mailbox, Zhou Yi discovered that Kester is really a very careful person.

Considering that Zhou Yi, a Chinese, may not know much about German media. Therefore, after the name of the media, an explanation is given, which explains the coverage, nature, style tendency, word-of-mouth, etc. of these media.

It is convenient for Zhou Yi to make a reference.

last of the last. He gave his own suggestion, suggesting that Zhou Yi choose media with great influence, and try to choose nationwide media as much as possible. rather than local media.

Of course, he also indicated that his opinion is only for Zhouyi's reference. Zhou Yi does not necessarily have to follow his own suggestion.

This is what Zhou Yi likes about Kester. He will give his professional advice on one thing. But it doesn't force Zhou Yi to accept it, the final decision rests with Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi felt that if the two parties maintain good communication, the cooperation will last for a long time.

After reading it once, Zhou Yi felt that it was perfectly fine to choose the interview media according to Kester's suggestion.

And he himself didn't bother to think about it one by one, so he picked up the phone directly and called Kist back: "You can figure it out, Tim, I believe in your professionalism."

After hanging up the phone, he turned off the email, opened the webpage again, and began to browse how he was praised on the domestic portals. Of course, he couldn't forget his own posts.

Drinking milk while eating ham and bread, those enthusiastic and even nasty compliments are simply the best accompaniment...

At noon, Zhou Yi received a call from Mark, inviting him to have dinner at home in the evening.

The reason is to celebrate the victory of the Ruhr Derby and Zhou Yi's outstanding performance in the game and was elected the best player in the game.

Zhou Yi naturally agreed.

However, when he saw Cortana at Mark's house at night, he regretted that he agreed so readily without asking if Cortana would come back...

This was the first time Zhou Yi saw Cortana at Mark's house after living together with Cortana.

Zhou Yi felt a little embarrassed when they met in another place.

After all, he didn't tell Mark and his parents that he was living with Cortana.

I don't know why I didn't tell them at the beginning, and it's even more difficult to tell them now. After all, I have lived together for a while, and if I say anything else, it will always give people a feeling that they are trying to cover up. So I had to keep silent.

During dinner, Zhou Yi found that Cortana didn't seem to tell her family that she was sharing the rent with him.

Cortana didn't mention Zhou Yi, but she thought it was normal. Based on Cortana's view of herself and her image at home, if she let her family know that she lived under the same roof as her, who knew what they would think.

Cortana certainly didn't want them to guess, so she didn't say anything.

Putting aside Cortana's question, Zhou Yi actually had a very happy meal, because Mrs. Wagner and Mark almost praised him to the sky.

Several times in the middle, Cortana couldn't bear to listen anymore, and had to interrupt their nasty flattery of Zhou Yi.

But this didn't change anything, and they just restrained themselves a little, and then continued to start the contest of praising Zhouyi.

Cortana fought alone, rolling her eyes in protest at the end.

After the last two people returned to the rented house one after another, Cortana couldn't help but sneered: "Just a few words of flattery will make you feel giddy, I don't think you're any better than those people whose brains are full of muscles Where are you going?"

Zhou Yi retorted: "How can you say that? Don't you know that there is a famous philosopher who said a word? 'Praise is the driving force of human development, and praise makes people progress'! All praise is progress for me motivation!"

"Which philosopher said this?" Cortana asked, sounding familiar.

"I said so." Zhou Yi puffed out his chest.

"..." Cortana gave Zhou Yi a blank look, and entered her room. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
