Chapter 42: The Banquet for Advancement
A week passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when Gao Xiaodong went to Yanjing to gather with the members of the Star of Hope. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Obviously, Gao Xiaodong will not be able to come back for at least half a year, and it is impossible to wait until the admission notice arrives before putting on the admission banquet, Gao's father decided to advance the promotion banquet after Gao Xiaodong found out that he had been admitted to the Provincial Institute of Physical Education, and at the same time saw off Gao Xiaodong, after all, going abroad is also a great joy.
Gao's mother was worried that her relatives and friends would say that she would take the opportunity to make money, but Gao's father said that whoever likes to say that this is a major event in the title of his son's gold list, and there are two marriages and three marriages.
Gao's mother had nothing to say, so she could only do what Gao's father wanted.
The banquet was set up in the hall on the second floor of the Yishan Hotel, and there were not many people invited, that is, the relatives of the Gao family and the Chen family on Gao's mother's side, as well as some friends of Gao's father, and the guests who came sat at almost four tables.
His parents were busy greeting guests, and the person concerned, Gao Xiaodong, was the most idle, so he sat at the table with his mobile phone and chatted with his high school teammates about text messages.
"Xiaodong, congratulations. ”
Gao Xiaodong looked up and saw that it was Gao Xiaoqiu, the son of his second grandfather's fourth uncle, Xiaoqiu went to school in Xue Guoba Middle School, and this year he was sent to the Ocean University in Lu Province, which is second only to Lu University.
"Brother Xiaoqiu, congratulations, the School of Physical Education, it's far worse than you. ”
Gao Xiaoqiu is very familiar with Gao Xiaodong, and said politely: "Your academic performance can go to the Sports Academy, just burn high incense." ”
"Xiao Dong, you can't compare with your Xiao Qiu brother, he is always in the top five in the class, you have to count from the back. ”
Gao Xiaoqiu's father Gao Furen also came, he and Gao Xiaodong's father Gao Fuyi are cousins, an employee of the Air Traffic Authority, with idle work, high wages and benefits, in addition to going to work on weekdays, fishing is also available, after his son was escorted to Ocean University, he was obsessed with showing off to relatives and friends, and he was not polite at all to Gao Xiaodong.
Hearing that this cousin has such a strong sense of superiority, Gao Xiaodong is speechless, what's wrong with me starting with negative numbers, isn't it all the last one.
At this time, the guests were basically gathered, and Gao's father came to the table of the family and said to Gao Xiaoqiu's father: "The fourth brother is here, Xiaodong is extraordinarily good this time, and he is lucky." Our Gao family produces two undergraduates a year, which is why our Gao family wants to prosper. ”
Gao Furen was a little unhappy when he heard that Gao's father put his son and Gao Xiaodong in the same important position, and said: "There is also a gap between one and the other, can the School of Physical Education be compared with Ocean University? Ocean University is a key university in 211 and 985. After graduation, you can enter a foreign company, and if you take the civil service examination, you will be a national cadre at the deputy section level. The most that comes out of the physical education academy is to be a teacher and coach, and the employment path is very narrow. ”
Although it is true, this is a slap in the face.
Father Gao's face turned red suddenly, and he sneered: "Fourth brother, Xiaodong's school is not as good as Xiaoqiu's, but Xiaodong has no plans to go to school, he will go abroad to play football tomorrow, and he will play in the professional league when he comes back." ”
The reputation of China's professional football league is as bad as that of the national football team, but even if the reputation of the professional football league is stinky, it also means money and fame, which is an industry that ordinary people can hardly access in their lifetime.
Gao Furen was stunned for a moment, Gao's father had not said anything about this beforehand, but Gao Furen looked at Gao Xiaodong's body shape, and remembered that Gao Xiaodong had never practiced football before, how could he go abroad to play football, it is very likely that even this admission is fake, his cousin spent money to let his cousin go abroad to gild, he sneered: "Fuyi, you are funny, Xiao Dong's body can play football? and also play professional football, hahaha, Xiao Dong's book...... My own brother, I won't talk about it, serve the food, drink and drink. ”
The rest of the family had been watching and didn't speak, and they all nodded secretly when they heard what Gao Furen said.
Gao Xiaoqiu was unhappy when he saw his cousin, Gao Xiaodong also had a cold face, and said to Gao Xiaodong embarrassedly: "Xiaodong, don't be angry, my dad is not good at it." ”
Gao Xiaodong ignored Gao Xiaoqiu, and said in his heart that your mouth is no better than your father, he saw that his father still wanted to explain, so he reached out and pulled his father's clothes, and said in his ear: "Dad, don't say it, this matter is like proving that you are yourself, you can't explain it clearly, let the facts slap him in the face in the future, don't affect the mood of other guests." ”
Father Gao thought about it, so he didn't say anything more, but he held back the fire in his belly, just sat and drank stuffy, and didn't hold a chopstick in front of a table of good dishes, but Gao Xiaodong smiled like a host and greeted the guests to drink.
Just served a few dishes, suddenly there was a commotion downstairs, and someone was vaguely asking, "Is Gao Xiaodong here?" and "Chubby, going to school in Lucheng No. 3 Middle School." ”
Gao's father and mother thought that there was a late guest, so they hurried over to greet them, and at this time, the "guests" had already come up, seven or eight people, and the camera with spears and cannons in their hands.
"Who are you?"
Gao's father and mother were a little stunned when they saw this battle.
"We are from Yishan County TV Station, is this Gao Xiaodong's entrance banquet? We are here to interview Gao Xiaodong. "The first tall beauty said.
"I am Du Hua, the director of the County Sports Bureau, and I know that Gao Xiaodong has been selected as a star of hope held by the Football Association, and I will go to Yanjing tomorrow, and today I am here to see him off on behalf of the Sports Bureau. A short, fat, middle-aged man said with a smile on his face.
It was a TV reporter and the director of the Sports Bureau, and they all came to look for Gao Xiaodong, and the people at the scene were dizzy, not knowing what was going on, and they all left the table and came to watch.
Gao Xiaoqiu's father, Gao Furen, didn't react for a while, but he recognized Du Hua, director of the Sports Bureau, and hurriedly came over to say hello, "Hello Director Du, I'm Gao Furen of the Air Traffic Authority." ”
"Oh, hello, hello. Gao Furen was just a junior staff member of the Air Traffic Authority, Du Hua obviously didn't know him, but then said perfunctorily, and then said to Gao's father: "Where is Gao Xiaodong?"
Gao's father hurriedly pulled Gao Xiaodong over and said, "My son is here." ”
Du Hua held Gao Xiaodong's hand with a smile on his face, and said: "Gao Xiaodong, you have won glory for our Lucheng City, first the top eight in the provincial selection competition, and the top four in the provincial high school league, and now you have been selected for the Hope Star Program of the Football Association, there are only 40 people in the country, and there is one in our small Yishan County, you are the person of the year in our Lucheng sports world." ”
When Du Hua and Gao Xiaodong were talking, the cameras of the TV reporters kept shooting at them, snapping, and the magnesium lights flashed to make the surrounding guests panic, I don't know what earth-shattering things Gao Xiaodong did as a junior high school student, and he actually made such a big battle.
Gao Furen felt that his face was hot, he now believed what Gao's father just said, Gao Xiaodong was really selected to play abroad, and it was also a national audition, I am afraid that he will really play in the Chinese Super League in the future, I heard that the annual salary of the players in the Chinese Super League is hundreds of thousands, and Gao Lao's second family is probably really going to be developed.
Gao Xiaodong was also very surprised, he didn't greet him in advance when he came to interview him, and it seems that the TV station and the Sports Bureau just knew.
Gao Xiaodong was not nervous, he and the deputy director of the Municipal Sports Bureau were talking and laughing, would he be afraid of the director of a county sports bureau, he smiled and said: "Director Du has won the award, but I haven't actually made any achievements, and I haven't even won a championship." ”
Du Hua was choked by Gao Xiaodong's words, what is the level of Lucheng football, and what is the level of Lucheng No. 3 Middle School, and he dares to say that he won the championship, what do you think of the two sub-provincial cities of Quancheng and Blue Island? This fat man, really like Director Chu said, does not speak and act according to common sense.
The female reporter said: "You are already very powerful, and now you are also the number one football genius in Lucheng." ”
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "I can't say that, my coach is better than me, he is a former Chinese Super League player." ”
The female reporter was not blind to the ball, and said: "Do you mean Wang Dong? He is your coach, and sure enough, a famous teacher is a high apprentice, how many years have you been practicing?"
Gao Xiaodong smiled, "Let's use months to calculate, I've been practicing for almost five months." ”
This sentence stunned the female reporters, five months? God, this is a joke.
Director Du of the Sports Bureau finally found an opportunity to exert his superiority at this time, he smiled and said: "I know this, it is true, I went to the city for a meeting today, and met my old boss Director Chu, he said that Gao Xiaodong was a classmate, and he only practiced for five months, and he entered the list of the Football Association's Hope Star Program, and I knew that this football genius was from our Yishan County, and it was really dark under the lights." ”
Du Hua pointed out the relationship between him and Director Du, Gao Xiaodong suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Director Chu didn't scold me, but praised me, this is not scientific, I have to ask him when I go back, and by the way, go to his house to steal his Moutai and go to Portugal." ”
Gao Xiaodong expressed the intimate relationship between him and Director Chu lightly, Du Hua, an old oilman who has been in the officialdom for many years, of course, is a little transparent, and smiled: "Director Chu is a true love, where will I scold you, take the time to go to my house to sit, I also have Moutai there." ”
"Okay, I'll go. Gao Xiaodong smiled and patted his head, and said, "It's really rude to let Director Du sit yet." ”
"Don't sit down, another day, I still have something. Du Hua patted Gao Xiaodong's shoulder, took out a red envelope and handed it to Gao Xiaodong's father, and said: "I came in a hurry, I didn't buy anything, this is a little heart, congratulations to Gao Xiaodong on his successful career." ”
Father Gao pinched it, at least five hundred yuan, and hurriedly said, "Then how can I be embarrassed to ask for your gift." ”
Du Hua held Gao's hand and said with a smile: "This is a must, if you don't accept it, Director Chu won't scold me for slamming the door when he sees me." ”
Gao Xiaodong knew that this was Director Chu's face, so he took the red envelope from his father's hand very happily and said with a smile: "Thank you, Director Du." ”
Director Du said: "You're welcome, I'll go first." Du Hua patted Gao Xiaodong's shoulder again, waved his hand to Gao's father, and left with a few of his subordinates.
The reporters from the TV station here questioned Gao Xiaodong and Gao's father and mother, recorded another video, and left the hotel.
After the people from the TV station and the sports bureau left, looking at the envious, jealous and hateful expressions of the guests, Gao's father raised his eyebrows, he turned around and wanted to go to his cousin Gao Furen to ask him if he still suspected that he was lying, but found that Gao Furen and Gao Xiaoqiu didn't know when they had left.
Father Gao knew that they couldn't hold their faces and ran away, although they couldn't make Gao Furen ugly in person, but Father Gao was very happy, and felt that the wretched spirit in his heart finally came out.
