Chapter 1518 The Return of the Big Killer

From Taoyuan Island to Barcelona, ​​Spain, the actual flight range is slightly longer than flying back to China. However, with the endurance of the Gulfstream G650 aircraft, you only need to land in Australia and refuel once, and then you can arrive directly.

The Taoyuan business jet that Xia Ruofei, Ling Qingxue, and Song Wei took, finally came to the sky above Barcelona after about fifteen hours of flight.

Along the way, Xia Ruofei gave up the big bedroom in the back cabin to two girls. He was not thick-skinned enough, so he just stayed outside when the two were resting.

Of course, the seat in the cabin can also be folded into a single bed, but the comfort is not as high as the queen bed in the rear cabin, and there is no problem with resting.

It was not until the plane began to lower the altitude that Song Wei and Ling Qingxue left the rear cabin, came to the middle of the cabin, sat opposite Xia Ruofei, and fastened their seat belts.

Xia Ruofei saw the two in good spirits and asked with a smile, "Did you sleep well?"

"Very good!" Ling Qingxue said with a smile, "The captain's flying skills are very good, the plane is very stable all the way, and sleeping on the bed is no different from sleeping on the ground!"

Song Wei glanced at Xia Ruofei and said, "Ruofei, you've worked hard! Give us the bedroom, you haven't slept yet, okay?"

Xia Ruofei laughed and said: "I can fall asleep anywhere, and it's the kind that I can lie down on. Besides, this airline seat is very soft and comfortable when it is flat. How can I not sleep well!"

The three chatted while drinking the freshly squeezed juice served by the flight attendant.

The aircraft quickly descended and established a glide path following standard approach procedures and landed smoothly on the runway at Barcelona Airport.

When Xia Ruofei took Ling Qingxue and Song Wei through the customs inspection and walked out of the airport passage, Zhou Leiyun, Jiang Xiaochen and Wu Lei of the Espanyol Club were already waiting outside to greet them.

Originally, in a heavy game like Espanyol against Barcelona, ​​and it was a Catalan derby, Zhou Leiyun, the club president, would definitely be there, otherwise fans would also think that the president paid so little attention to the club? Why don't you even show up in the stands to cheer for the team in the game against the deadly enemy?

And Zhou Leiyun originally only needed to arrive at Barcelona on the day of the game, but when he confirmed Xia Ruofei's itinerary, he immediately put down everything at hand and rushed over from China in advance.

Jiang Xiaochen is Zhou Leiyun's spokesperson at the club, so he naturally came to pick up the plane on behalf of the club.

As for Wu Lei, it was entirely because he had a good personal relationship with Xia Ruofei, and was also called by Zhou Leiyun to greet him.

"Mr. Zhou! Leizi! President Jiang!" Xia Ruofei walked over and greeted with a smile.

"Mr. Xia! It's been hard work all the way!" Zhou Leiyun stretched out his hands and shook hands with Xia Ruofei enthusiastically, while Jiang Xiaochen and the driver hurriedly took the luggage of Xia Ruofei and the three of them.

"Brother Xia!" Wu Lei also stepped forward to say hello to Xia Ruofei with a hint of gratitude.

Wu Lei's gratitude to Xia Ruofei is definitely from the heart.

At the earliest, at the suggestion of Xia Ruofei, he underwent an operation on the shoulder injury in advance, and Xia Ruofei performed a rejuvenating hand, allowing him to return to the level that he could participate in training within a week.

Later, Xia Ruofei taught him a set of very effective body exercises. After he insisted on training this exercise every day, whether it was strength or physical coordination,

It's a lot better than when I played in the country at the beginning.

Because of better coordination and stronger physical confrontation ability, Wu Lei now has significantly more confidence when he dribbles through the ball, and after using his consciousness to run out of single-handed opportunities, because he has better control over his footwork, and his confidence is also improved. Compared with before, the goal rate has increased a lot, and it is no longer the "Wu Qiusheng" who frequently loses single-handed shots.

More importantly, everyone in the club knows that Wu Lei and Xia Ruofei have a good personal relationship, so they are more concerned about him, including in the locker room, some of the team's big brothers are also more enthusiastic about him, allowing him to quickly integrate into the team. .

Of course, it is also because his ability is indeed worthy of the Spaniards first team. Now coach Ruby still values ​​him more, and he is basically a regular main force. The most used forwards are the partners of Wu Lei and Iglesias.

Just transferred from the China Super League to La Liga, the platform has improved so much at once, but Wu Lei can have such a good start. In Wu Lei's own opinion, these are all brought to him by Xia Ruofei.

Without Xia Ruofei's help, Wu Lei felt that the difficulties he encountered would be much greater.

Xia Ruofei lightly punched Wu Lei's shoulder with a smile, and said, "Not bad! It seems that the training has not been lazy recently, and it is obviously much stronger than before!"

Wu Lei laughed and said: "The training in Europe is more scientific, and the nutritious meals are also matched according to the players' personal conditions. In addition, I usually practice extra, so there is still some progress."

Xia Ruofei naturally knew what Wu Lei was talking about, and he nodded in relief.

Then Xia Ruofei introduced each other to everyone. Of course, when he introduced Ling Qingxue and Song Wei, he only said that they were his friends. This time, he came over to relax.

In fact, Zhou Leiyun has always been following Xia Ruofei's Weibo and posts. He is familiar with many of Xia Ruofei's situations. All Xia Ruofei fans know that Ling Qingxue is Xia Ruofei's girlfriend, and Zhou Leiyun naturally understands this situation.

But Xia Ruofei only said that he was his friend, and Zhou Leiyun naturally wouldn't be stupid to ask more questions.

And Song Wei's identity is more clear to him - at the beginning, his nephew Zhou Yuan tried to eat swan meat in vain, but he broke out in a cold sweat, and it was Zhao Yongjun who helped to talk about the matter, and the matter was calmed down. .

Of course, Zhou Leiyun can be considered a blessing in disguise, because he met Xia Ruofei because of this incident, and he also pulled him to invest in a football club together. The relationship between the two was obviously much closer.

Anyway, for Song Wei's name, Zhou Leiyun was very impressed.

And he also carefully noticed that Xia Ruofei seemed to put Song Wei and Ling Qingxue in the same position, and his heart was even more stunned.

However, the sophisticated Zhou Leiyun naturally wouldn't show it. He just greeted the two of them very enthusiastically, and then led everyone to the parking place.

Zhou Leiyun booked Xia Ruofei the Central Grand Hotel where Xia Ruofei stayed last time. He temporarily asked Jiang Xiaochen to book two additional luxury suites, which were connected to the original one.

The Grand Central Hotel does not have a presidential suite, and the deluxe suite is already the highest-spec room in the hotel.

Because he didn't dare to guess the relationship between Xia Ruofei and the three of them, Zhou Leiyun simply booked three rooms. As for how many rooms they used at night, he didn't need to worry about it. Said, it's not even a drop in the bucket.

In fact, Zhou Leiyun's small manor in the wealthy area of ​​Barcelona is more luxurious and comfortable, but it is his home after all, and he is also worried that Xia Ruofei is not used to living in other people's homes, not to mention that Xia Ruofei also brought two female companions, it would be even more inconvenient .

After receiving the room card, everyone took the elevator upstairs together.

After Song Wei and Ling Qingxue came to the floor where the room was, they went back to their room respectively - after flying for more than ten hours, they also eagerly hoped to take a shower and change their clothes, and at the same time do some make-up.

Zhou Leiyun, Jiang Xiaochen and Wu Lei accompanied Xia Ruofei to his room.

Considering that Xia Ruofei was exhausted, the three of them didn't stay too long. After chatting for a while, they got up and said goodbye.

Zhou Leiyun also prepared a welcome dinner for Xia Ruofei, and then naturally they can communicate more deeply.

Xia Ruofei also politely got up and sent the three to the door.

He suddenly said, "By the way, Leizi, are you still staying in this hotel?"

Wu Lei said with a smile: "Brother Xia, I've moved out! My wife and children have already come over, and I rented a house near the club."

"Yes!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Now you have no worries!"

"Yeah!" Wu Lei said, "In order to support my career, Xiaobei also gave up her own career development, and this time it was for me to come to a foreign country..."

"Just treat your daughter-in-law better in the future!" Xia Ruofei patted Wu Lei on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Repay your family with your performance on the court!"

"Got it, Brother Xia! I will!" Wu Lei said firmly.

Xia Ruofei asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, did you call Leizi's family and children for dinner at night? Let them come together to be lively and lively!"

Zhou Leiyun said quickly: "We have already invited!"

Wu Lei was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly and said, "They will also come to participate!"

In fact, Zhou Leiyun didn't invite Wu Lei's daughter-in-law and children at first. After all, this was a more formal business dinner, not a team party. However, Wu Lei himself and Xia Ruofei have a good personal relationship, and this time Xia Ruofei also brought a female companion, so it is more appropriate for Wu Lei's daughter-in-law to come over.

What's more, in a foreign country, people from China, naturally feel very cordial, and it is reasonable to invite them to attend the banquet together.

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Okay! Then I'll take a bath and rest first, let's see you at night!"

"Mr. Xia has worked hard all the way, so take a good rest first." Zhou Leiyun said quickly, "I will come up to invite you when the dinner is about to start."

Xia Ruofei nodded, waved to the three of Zhou Leiyun, and then turned back to the room.

Only then did Zhou Leiyun breathe a sigh of relief. As he walked towards the elevator entrance with Jiang Xiaochen and Wu Lei, he patted Wu Lei on the shoulder and said, "Wu Lei, thank you for helping me! Otherwise, it would be a little embarrassing..."

He was naturally talking about Xia Ruofei's invitation to Wu Lei's wife and children just now.

Wu Lei smiled and said, "Zhou Zongyan is serious."

Zhou Leiyun said to Jiang Xiaochen again: "Xiaochen, hurry up and send a car to take Wu Lei back, then take their family to buy a classy formal suit, and then send them to the hotel! There are still more than three hours, Hold on tight!"

"Okay, President Zhou!" Jiang Xiaochen said quickly, and then said to Wu Lei, "Wu Lei, let's go!"

"Mr. Zhou, you don't need to buy clothes! We have formal clothes at home..." Wu Lei said quickly.

"Let's buy a set! Dressing properly also reflects the importance you attach to President Xia!" Zhou Leiyun said with a smile, and then explained, "Don't get me wrong! I'm not saying that your family is not dressed appropriately, but... how? Speaking of it! It would be better to ask a professional to help you match it when you attend a formal banquet.”

"It's okay, I understand..." Wu Lei said with a smile, "Thank you, President Zhou."

Wu Lei naturally won't be short of a few money to buy clothes, but he still needs the necessary courtesy. After all, Zhou Leiyun is also kind.

After the elevator reached the first floor, Jiang Xiaochen hurriedly left the hotel with Wu Lei, while Zhou Leiyun took another car and returned to his small manor in the wealthy area of ​​Barcelona.

Xia Ruofei naturally didn't know what he said casually, making Zhou Leiyun and Jiang Xiaochen all busy. After taking a shower, he changed into soft and comfortable home clothes and lay in bed for a while. It wasn't until it was almost time for dinner that he got up to wash up, and then changed into a casual suit.

Then he went to Song Wei and Ling Qingxue's room and called both of them to his side.

Ling Qingxue and Song Wei really only used one room, and the two were willing to live together to appear more intimate.

Of course, it's hard to say whether there are other thoughts, such as mutual supervision.

The three chatted in Xia Ruofei's room for a while, and Zhou Leiyun came up to invite them to the banquet in person.

So, Xia Ruofei and Zhou Leiyun came to the restaurant in the annex of the hotel together with Zhou Leiyun.

Zhou Leiyun reserved a large private room here, and there were not too many people attending the dinner. Zhou Leiyun did not let other club executives participate, only Jiang Xiaochen and the head coach of the first team, Ruby, and because Xia Ruofei brought a female companion, and also called by name He invited Wu Lei's family, so he asked Ruby to bring his wife, and Jiang Xiaochen brought his girlfriend.

Zhou Leiyun's wife did not come to Spain, so he was left alone today.

Xia Ruofei and his party appeared in the box, and everyone immediately stood up and applauded, especially the head coach Ruby, whose face was very excited.

When he learned that Xia Ruofei agreed to play for the club in the Catalan derby against Barcelona, ​​he almost jumped up with excitement.

With the addition of Xia Ruofei, he has a little more confidence in this game with a huge disparity in strength.

Although domestic fans nicknamed Wu Lei "Nuclear Weapon Seven", because Wu Lei always wore the No. 7 jersey when he played football in China, this nickname is also an affirmation of Wu Lei's attack power, but in Ruby's mind , there is no doubt that Xia Ruofei is his "nuclear weapon". With this strange soldier, it may bring a lot of "surprises" to Barcelona!

"Thank you all!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "please sit down!"

Then, Xia Ruofei said it again in Spanish - this is also considering the feelings of Ruby and his wife.

Then, Xia Ruofei went to the seat of honored guest beside Zhou Leiyun and sat down.
