Chapter Eighty-Six: Professor Diego
Su Zheng was tired. Chen Fu let her take a nap.
Wrap yourself up and email Betty to give a detailed explanation of how things are going.
Before the email was finished, a landline phone starting with 010 was displayed on the phone screen.
Chen Fu walked into the health department to listen indirectly.
The water is coming. She said her classmate would be at the Customs House at about five o'clock.
Chen Fu asked, then can you be a free body at five o'clock?
Shui'er said, you say this, as if I am imprisoned.
Chen Fu smiled.
Shui'er continued, "I'm fine." When she arrives, let's go to the Beijing Hotel to find you.
Chen Fu thought that Su Zheng was now "living together" with him, and it was best not to let them come to the room. So, he said, "What do you like to eat?" I'll invite you two to dinner.
Shui'er said that she ate too many fried buns at noon, and she didn't feel hungry at all. Why don't we go? I haven't eaten in months, so I think so. My classmates are good at this.
Chen Fu said, okay. Do you know of any of the best grilled restaurants nearby?
Shui'er said, I'll ask. See you in the lobby of the Beijing Hotel around five o'clock.
Chen Fu said, okay.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fu wanted to have a barbecue location.
Chen Fushang suddenly remembered that when he first came to Beijing, there was a family at the end of the deep alley between the Academy of Social Sciences and the Beijing Hotel. Even though it seems to be a bad location, there is a constant stream of customers.
It's just not known if it exists now.
He took the room card, pulled the door open, walked to the front desk and asked. The waiter confirmed that 600 meters down the alley, there was indeed a "meet you" barbecue restaurant.
Chen Fu called back according to the number Shui Er called, but the phone was always busy.
He didn't know if the customs phone had a special setting, so he could only dial out.
I was about to turn around and go back to my room, but I happened to see Diego come out.
When Diego saw him, he was very excited and asked Chen Fu if he had time to sit down.
Chen Fu said that there was an appointment at five o'clock. However, it should be possible to sit for a while.
Diego looked at his watch and said that there was still about an hour. I'll give you coffee.
Chen Fu said, let me invite. In Huaxia, I am the host, and you are a guest from afar.
Diego said, "It's great, the people of Huaxia are really amazing and welcoming.
Chen Fu said: We have always been like this to our friends from foreign countries.
Diego said, Chen, I know what you're going to say next, it's the shotgun that greets the enemy.
Chen Fu laughed and said, Diego, you haven't been in Huaxia for a long time, you know this.
Of course, Diego said. Before I came to Huaxia, I looked up a lot of information. However, Chen, with all due respect, Spain did not invade China.
Chen Fu said that this is also in line with historical facts. It's a lot to gain this time, right?
Diego said, wait a minute. I order my coffee first. Waiter, I want this, Café Carajillo.
The waiter nodded.
Café Carajillo can be roughly translated as ouzo coffee, which is based on espresso and added with brandy, whiskey, rum, ouzo, etc.
Chen Fu ordered Café mazagrán.
Diego took a sip of coffee and said that Huaxia is a great country that has created so many miracles. It's breathtaking.
Chen Fu said, do you mean the Great Wall and the Forbidden City?
Diego says that there are not only these two behemoths, but also many small objects, which are exquisitely crafted. It's just a pity, if the Old Summer Palace is not destroyed, and the treasures inside are well preserved, what kind of spectacle will China have! Those damn Eight-Nation Alliance, I want to pick up a big sword and spear to fight with them.
Chen Fu said: Yes, the Eight-Nation Coalition has created evil. Diego, you're still very righteous. But those days are gone. If anyone violates again, they will be punished even if they are far away. After all, the affairs of Huaxia are mainly solved by the Chinese people.
But, Chen, Chen, cultural relics are treasures in the world and should be protected by all.
Chen Fu said, what you said makes sense. However, the artifact belongs first and foremost to the country where it was produced. Then, it belongs to the whole world. The one-sided emphasis on its world-class nature can sometimes become an excuse for forcible seizure.
Diego shrugged and said, well, I think you have a point. In any case, I came this time, and it was an eye-opener, and I didn't want to leave.
Chen Fu said, since this is the case, you should really stay. China and Spain are both stable and rising politically, as well as in economic and cultural exchanges. You can be a super cultural ambassador for the interaction between the two countries.
Diego said, "Do you have any suggestions?" I want to do Chinese cultural studies, but I still have to make money to support myself.
Chen Fu said, in this way, you can come to Haibin Normal College for an inspection. Our school is preparing to establish a Spanish Department and recruit Spanish professors from all over the world. You're a professor at the University of Barcelona, so you're sure to be very useful.
Diego said, I know that Beijing Foreign Chinese University and Beijing University of Foreign Trade and Economics both have Spanish majors, and the pay is good. Where is Seaside Normal College?
Chen Fu said, it is true that the two schools you mentioned are in Beijing, but the Spanish language has been very stable and mature in these two schools, and you can't play a big role in these two schools. Moreover, the natural environment of the capital is still a little worse, and sandstorms often hit. This is not the case with Seaside Teachers' College. It is close to the sea and the air is very fresh. In addition, the treatment here is very good, and foreign professors can live in villas.
Diego said, Chen, when are you going back to Seaside Teachers' College? I want to go and see it. I was a little moved by what you said, but the point is that I love the culture of your country too much.
Chen Fu said, I'll go back tomorrow night.
Diego said, "I can't do it tomorrow." According to what we have planned, I will not have time to move freely until Thursday.
Chen Fu said, okay, then take the train on Thursday night, it will be around five o'clock on Friday morning, and I can pick you up at the station.
Thank you so much, says Diego. Let's use coffee cheers bar.
Chen Fu picked up the coffee and touched him, and the two said, cheers.
Chen Fu felt that this was the biggest unexpected gain of this trip to Beijing. He has no intention of inserting willows, and he can also help the school to build a Spanish language department. With professors from the University of Barcelona in the seats, the entire Société des Pedagogés de la Riviera should be happy. It's hard to find with a lantern.
By the way, Chen, I don't know if I can see La Liga games at Seaside Normal College, especially Barcelona. Diego asked.
Chen Fu said, don't worry about this. The Faculty Apartments of the Seaside Teachers College all have CCTV. And CCTV Sports Channel is particularly fond of broadcasting Barcelona's matches.
Diego said, then I'll be relieved. I just can't go to Camp Nou to see it live.
Chen Fu said that there are important competitions, and if the time is convenient, we can fly over to watch them.
Diego laughed when he heard it and said, "We are really like-minded people, and we all like Barcelona so much."
Chen Fu said that for the sake of a common hobby, cheers.
The two bumped into each other again.
Chen Fu said, Diego, I have to lose company first. My friend is almost there.
Diego said, okay, Chen, go get busy. See you at Seaside Teachers College.
Chen Fu nodded, I will let the waiter directly post the bill, and you will not have to worry about paying the bill for a while.
Diego said, Muchas gracias!
Chen Fu said, No hay de qué. Then, I went upstairs and called Su Zheng.
They had to pack up before Shui Er and her classmates went downstairs.
