Chapter 254 Boat Racing is also possible
After leaving Hong Kong, Ren Pingsheng did not return to the mainland, but flew directly to London, England, to meet with the students of the EMBA president class and start an overseas study tour.
After more than 10 years of school exploration, the competition in the domestic EMBA education market has become more and more mature, and the curriculum has also entered the stage of "differentiation" competition.
Overseas study tour is a characteristic program of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, especially in the teaching of EMBA, overseas study tour is an indispensable one, which aims to experience foreign business culture and enterprise management culture by visiting representative institutions and enterprises in developed countries abroad, participating in the courses of foreign business schools, and improving students' international vision and global thinking.
Ren Pingsheng's group of European study tours were arranged in this way, first to Portugal to experience the historical atmosphere of the starting point of the Great Voyage, then to the Netherlands to experience the charm of early capitalism, and finally to England to experience modern commercial civilization.
Of course, in order to avoid too tight course arrangement, the period is also interspersed with Porto wine tour, Marseille seaside cruise, Amsterdam red light district day trip and other humanities and social study projects, so that the students can combine work and rest, not only learn useful knowledge, but also experience overseas customs and customs, and add good memories to this study tour.
Ren Pingsheng did not attend the previous classes, on the one hand, he had things to do in Hong Kong and could not arrange the itinerary, and on the other hand, he did not want to waste his time on these insignificant sightseeing.
His time is very precious now, and one minute is not enough to break into two minutes, where is the heart to go to the mountains and rivers.
However, after taking care of the things at hand, Ren Pingsheng still caught up with the last stop of the study tour.
The main reason is that this stop is in the UK, an old capitalist country, where modern commercial civilization and market economy originated.
The real reason is that there is a girl in England who deserves his attention, and he wants to meet her.
Standing on the crowded Hammersmith Bridge, the students of the EMBA President Class excitedly looked for people to take photos everywhere and experienced the unique British style.
Ren Pingsheng didn't join the bandwagon, his eyes stretched to the far end of the Thames, and he was looking forward to the next rowing race.
The Oxbridge Rowing Race has been running for more than 200 years and is held between two of the UK's most famous universities: Oxford and Cambridge. As a popular event in British sporting, the annual Oxbridge Rowing Race retains many traditional features and brings a lot of after-dinner anecdotes.
Oxford and Cambridge are two world-renowned universities with a long history. In terms of academics, they both come from the British upper class, and although they are equally famous, the two schools are not convinced by each other. This rivalry also extends to the sporting scene, with the annual Oxbridge Rowing Race between the two schools being a testament to their strengths and weaknesses.
The members of the Oxbridge Rowing Competition are all selected from the students of the two universities, and all of them are the top students among the top students. Although they are all amateur players, they maintain formal training outside of their studies, and their competitive level is not inferior to that of professional athletes, coupled with the appeal of the two universities, the annual competition attracts many onlookers.
On the Thames that day, the race was packed with spectators on both sides of the venue, with more than 250,000 people said to have watched the game live and 1.5 million people watched it live on television.
The women's competition was played first, and although it was not as long as the men's match, it was also the 60th meeting between the two schools, and the Cambridge women's team had a temporary lead overall of 36-24, while the men's team also had a narrow lead over Oxford 76-74, and the two teams had only played a draw in 1877.
At the start of the race, the rows of the two women's teams were already in place, and the female school players from Oxford and Cambridge were also seated in their places. There are 9 people on each team, 4 left oars and 4 right oars, with their backs to the forward direction. At the stern of the boat sits a helmsman, facing in the direction of forward. The uniforms of both teams are traditional blue, except for the dark blue of Oxford and the light blue of Cambridge.
Due to the rowing project has requirements for the height and arm length of the players, coupled with the long-term maintenance of high-energy training, the rowers' figures are very slender and fit, these female team members are more than 174 cm tall, after wearing tight-fitting sportswear, all of them show superior muscles and well-proportioned long legs, although the female students may not all be good-looking, but just with this all the long legs, it is attractive enough.
After each of them is seated, with a whistle, the two rowing boats shoot out of the water like off-string arrows, and begin the race to catch me.
Traditionally, the Oxbridge Rowing Race takes place at high tide on the day from Putney to Mortlake, with a total length of 6,779 metres, passing from the gentle upper reaches of the Thames to the turbulent currents downstream, and is as intense and exciting as the international first-class races.
This year's two women's teams were at a very high level, so they held each other in the first half of the rough current, leading no more than one bow of the ship, until they entered the turbulent downstream, and the competition began to heat up.
The first to lead was the Light Blue Cambridge team, after they led by 2/3 of the stage, the Deep Blue Oxford team came from behind to catch up, but the Light Blue Cambridge did not give up, continued to insist on biting, and the two teams were in a state of anxiety.
At this time, the two rowing boats had already entered Ren Pingsheng's field of vision, he pointed at the light blue Cambridge racing boat with a telescope, and found the girl with the smooth skin unique to Asians in a bunch of muscular long legs, her face was mostly covered by a pair of sunglasses, but from the small chin and delicate melon seed face, Zhu Jieran's outline could still be recognized.
At this time, she was engrossed in the game, her white and neat teeth were exposed between the opening and closing of her two red lips, and the high-frequency inhalation and exhalation made the twin peaks wrapped in the tights continue to tremble, and the muscles and well-proportioned arms continued to swing, forming a beautiful picture of the combination of strength and beauty.
The cheers and applause of the surrounding audience became louder and louder, at this time the two teams had entered the last 100 meters of the sprint stage, the light blue Cambridge team, which was originally half a bow behind, suddenly exerted their strength together, and the eight oarsmen seemed to have the same head, all of them were gathered together, and the frequency of action was obviously one yard faster than the team members of the dark blue Oxford, and the speedboat of the light blue Cambridge was also obviously moving forward quickly, and crossed the finish line first with the advantage of leading the dark blue Oxford's hull.
When the referee announced that the Cambridge women's team had won this year's Oxbridge Boat Race, the Cambridge fans on both sides of the bank were excited, and everyone shouted in celebration that Cambridge had once again held the winning record against Oxford.
According to tradition, eight long-handed female oarsmen lifted their petite helmswoman up and threw them into the icy Thames to a roar of laughter.
Although the hospital ship next to her quickly rescued the helmswoman, she was already soaking wet, but no one thought it was anything, including the helmswoman who was thrown into the water, because everyone was immersed in the joy of victory.
And the female oarsman with the Asian face had a smile on her face, but there was a little melancholy in her eyes, and her eyes kept searching the shore, as if she were looking for someone.
Until she saw a young man with an oriental face come out of the crowd, the female oarsman's face instantly burst into a bright smile like a flower bud blooming, and she bared her white and neat teeth and shouted:
"Ren Pingsheng, Ren Pingsheng!"
Then she rushed over with her slender and athletic legs like a deer, and before Ren Pingsheng could react, she jumped up and threw herself into his arms.
Ren Pingsheng only felt that his neck was wrapped around two strong and powerful arms, and at the same time, two large lumps of full and elastic balls were pressed on his chest, although she had a lot of sweat from exercise, but there was no unpleasant smell at all, and her mouth and nose were filled with the fresh and healthy breath of a girl.
Although Ren Pingsheng was mentally prepared, he didn't expect that his appearance would be embraced so warmly, and he didn't imagine that the shy and shy fat girl in the past would become so cheerful and sunny that she hugged herself in public.
However, although Sister Zhu had lost weight significantly, Ren Pingsheng was still a little unbearable, he gently patted the girl's back with his right hand, and said softly:
"Sister, sister, can you let me go?"
Sister Zhu buried her head in his shoulder and shook it like a chicken, and said coquettishly:
"Don't, don't let go, can't let go. β
Although she now has the physique of a female athlete, Sister Zhu exposed the posture of a little girl as soon as she opened her mouth, and Ren Pingsheng seemed to see the little girl who was coquettish with herself in QQ again.
Ren Pingsheng smiled bitterly:
"Why not?"
Ren Pingsheng felt the girl's straight nose rub against his neck, and said in a low voice:
"It's been so long, you've only come to see me once, and I'm afraid that as soon as you let go, you'll run away again. β
Although Sister Zhu's words are full of childishness, the grievances contained in her words are clear to Ren Pingsheng.
Ask yourself, Ren Pingsheng has indeed ignored Sister Zhu this year, since the beginning of the year in Yanjing, the communication between the two has obviously decreased a lot, plus Ren Pingsheng is indeed very busy, and there are fewer fights on QQ before.
Moreover, Ren Pingsheng still has a layer of worries in his heart, since the relationship between An Qi and himself was known by Sister Zhu, it is difficult for him to be as free and easy in front of this girl as before, whenever he sees her, there will always be An Qi's shadow in front of him, and he will always think of Sister Zhu's questions about love before the two separated.
Ren Pingsheng had already hurt An Qi in his life, and he didn't want everything to happen to Sister Zhu again.
So he consciously distanced himself from the girl.
Ren Pingsheng originally thought that with the passage of time and the increase in academic pressure, Sister Zhu's attachment to herself would gradually decrease.
But he was wrong, time did not make Sister Zhu forget, but made her more persistent.
The crowd of onlookers was curious, because they saw a girl with slender limbs, wrapped like a baby around a skinny Asian man, both in height and weight, this girl had an advantage over men, and she was also the female oarsman of the Cambridge rowing team, who had just won the annual Oxbridge competition, but judging by their posture, the girls were extremely attached to this man.
Even in the United Kingdom, where the concept is very open, this situation is very rare, so most passers-by have curiosity in their eyes.
It is curious what kind of charm this Asian man can make this Cambridge female school bully so infatuated with him.
Although Ren Pingsheng's face and psychological quality are very strong, but today is the first time he has encountered this situation, he was a little awkward by the eyes of passers-by, and saw that Sister Zhu was reluctant to let go, so he had to resort to a trick.
He gently patted Sister Zhu's buttocks in tights with his right hand, and said with a smile:
"Come down and tell me how heavy you are now. β
This trick really worked, and the limbs wrapped around her body like an octopus were quickly released, and Sister Zhu stood on the ground, with two blush on her face, and said with a small mouth:
"What are you doing, always making fun of people. β
Ren Pingsheng returned to a relaxed state and said with a smile:
"You didn't say it last time, but the next time you see it, do you want to amaze me?"
Hearing that Ren Pingsheng still remembered that sentence, Sister Zhu's big eyes flashed with joy, she turned around in place and said playfully:
"What do you think? β
Ren Pingsheng looked at her seriously for the first time, after a year, Sister Zhu is now more obvious, rowing is a sport that can really modify the body shape. Compared with the drastic weight loss she saw at the beginning of the year, she now feels more healthy and well-proportioned, whether it is arms or legs, they are full of the sense of strength generated by long-term exercise, but they do not grow muscles excessively, and her whole body is full of coordinated beauty.
Her hair has been kept longer, braided into a long braid and thrown at the back of her head, her complexion is much healthier than before, losing the fat on her body, and the healthy and scientific exercise has made her change the standing posture of bowing her head and shrinking her chest in the past, holding her head high confidently, and with a sunny and cheerful smile, the temperament of the whole person has improved a lot.
Sister Zhu in front of her is already a brand new Sister Zhu.
Ren Pingsheng was full of emotion in his heart, and being able to see Sister Zhu live a new self was the most meaningful thing he felt since his rebirth.
Looking at the sunny girl in front of him, Ren Pingsheng said with emotion:
"Perfect, you're ready to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated. β
Sports Illustrated is the world's most famous sports magazine, with 23 million adult readers and more than 3 million subscribers every week. Those who can appear on the cover of "Sports Illustrated", in addition to sports stars, are those young girls with healthy bodies and beautiful feelings.
Ren Pingsheng praised her so much, in Sister Zhu's opinion, it was a high evaluation and affirmation of her, so she was happy in her heart.
"Really, ahhh
Sister Zhu stomped her feet excitedly, she quickly hugged Ren Pingsheng, kissed him on the cheek before he could react, and then smiled like a flower road.
"Ren Pingsheng, you really understand me so well, I love to hear every word you say. β
Ren Ping accepted this girlish kiss for no reason in his life, he felt funny and funny, he was so old, he was actually kissed by a little girl, where is this.
However, Ren Pingsheng does not object to this feeling, but hopes that the more such good things come, the better.
While they were playing, other members of the Cambridge women's team also gathered around, they looked at Ren Pingsheng curiously, and asked Sister Zhu questions in a gossiping manner.
In front of these classmates and teammates, Sister Zhu did not feel shy at all, she held Ren Pingsheng's arm intimately and introduced the man next to her in pure English.
Although Ren Pingsheng's spoken language is not very good, he can still hear that Sister Zhu proudly calls him her boyfriend, and said that Ren Pingsheng made a special trip from China to watch her game and cheer for her.
Sister Zhu's teammates are all girls of the same age, they are all very lively and cheerful, perhaps it is the unique politeness of Westerners, they don't have much rejection of Sister Zhu's Asian boyfriend, they are all praising Ren Ping's life for being very loving and romantic, and praising Sister Zhu for being lucky to have such a good boyfriend, which makes Sister Zhu smile on her face.
In the end, when taking a group commemorative photo, Sister Zhu insisted on pulling Ren Pingsheng into the camera, since he accepted the title of boyfriend, it was naturally difficult to refuse this obligation.
However, before the start of filming, Ren Pingsheng still copied his somewhat stiff English, and tried to teach those long-legged girls to shout in unison in front of the camera:
βexciting!β
