61. New home and interviews
Matters related to Zolin continued until mid-December, before he was ready to leave for Switzerland. Most of these things are not bad.
After Jin Xiaohua reported the situation, the National Security Bureau studied it and agreed. Personnel to verify the intelligence were quickly dispatched, and Zuo Lin's idea of preparing to go to Hoh Xil to "clean up" was also recognized, and when the time came, the National Security Bureau and the Special Affairs Bureau would organize personnel to try to solve the problem of poaching Tibetan antelopes at one time. Since he has turned from provoking things on his own to becoming a member of the operation deployed by the state, it is naturally not a question of how many people will be killed at that time.
At the hearing on Shanghai's environmental construction plan held some time ago, Zuo Lin was invited by Yu Pingzhang to participate in several topics as an expert consultant. When it came to environmental issues, Zuo Lin did not dare to hide his secrets, and without revealing his druid identity, he came up with many ideas for the city's central urban landscaping plan and street tree improvement plan. In particular, Shanghai is considering building a large woodland similar to New York's Manhattan Island Central Park, which can serve as the city's green lung. The extremely beautiful documentary made by Lin Jinghua and his gang was also played at this meeting, and then it was favored by several directors and producers from the documentary channel, and they were discussing with Lin Jinghua about making a series of documentaries. And Zuo Lin, as a documentary copywriter and narrator, generously assured that if he continued to make it, he would give it his full support.
Helping Tsubame Hokusai to expand the production of golden bracken and the construction of the Tianxin lotus planting base are progressing smoothly. In particular, after the installation of the cleaning device replaced by the aerospace factory, the cleanliness of the super greenhouse in the core is close to the general laboratory standard. The trial planting was quite gratifying, and the training of the greenhouse staff was also very smooth. Although a greenhouse cannot meet the production needs of 120,000 cans of Tianxin Lotus ointment throughout the year, it can at least be regarded as a good start. If all goes well, by next spring, the first batch of Tianxin Lotus will be able to come out, enough to make 20,000 jars of ointment.
And Zhang Ling has basically completed the analysis and sorting of the securities situation, and when she takes out all the paper securities from the Swiss bank, she will devote herself to endless paperwork with Gu Mingyuan. During this time, with the support of a large amount of information, Zhang Ling almost became a securities historian, and several essay assignments written in his spare time to cope with the teacher caused quite a stir. Whether it is a teacher or a classmate, when they learn that she has hundreds of yearbooks published and distributed in Europe and the United States for decades as reference materials, they can only be jaw-dropping and envious.
And the most important thing is two things that are closely related to Zuo Lin.
One is that Zuo Lin's mansion on Julu Road has finally been renovated, and he can move in after purchasing the necessary supplies.
On the other hand, when the media was discussing the transfer of Zuo Lin, the now hot goalkeeper, was at its peak, which made Zuo Lin annoyed, Zuo Lin entrusted Sang Shilin to publish a news: After completing the 5-year contract with the Shen Leopard team, Zuo Lin will hang up his boots and retire.
Counting the past season, that means that Zolin has been playing football for a maximum of 4 years. Even by that time, Zuo Lin was only 23 years old. As for a goalkeeper, 23 years old has not even entered the golden age of a goalkeeper, why is Zuo Lin in a hurry to retire? The Shenbao Club said that this is Zuo Lin's own meaning, and they respect the player's own will. The national team and the Football Association were stunned by this statement, originally thinking that with Zuo Lin's ability, he was probably the first domestic player to enter the European giants and still occupy the main position, but he didn't expect that the young Zuo Lin had already considered hanging up his boots. The Football Association asked Zuo Lin to explain what it meant through the club, and took Zuo Lin and wrote the words "You can't care" on the fax paper, and then sent the original back. Subsequently, the current coach of the national team, Edward, flew to Shanghai to "see" Zuo Lin. And Zuo Lin was prevaricating with the club and under the cover of Yan Hokusai, he was leisurely doing his own things, such as moving.
Although the villa was renovated and decorated, the greenery in the entire courtyard still needed to be replanned. The huge courtyard gives Zuo Lin plenty of room to show his skills. After a few days of busyness, the appearance of the entire courtyard was preliminarily decided.
In each of the four corners of the main villa, a Guardian Tree is planted, a tall tree that can shade other plants in the conservatory of the left house, and can become more violent and aggressive than the beating willow planted at Hogwarts in Harry•Potter if needed. In a circle of flower beds outside the villa, military chrysanthemums are planted to make the villa's security even higher. The courtyard is divided into several pieces, and the recreation area is simple grass and shrubs. The flower garden area is full of a variety of rare flowers, and there is even an orchard with several types of fruit trees, so you can enjoy your own fruits almost all year round. People who don't know how to step into the courtyard, at most they feel that the whole courtyard is green, which makes people feel refreshed, if they are knowledgeable, I am afraid that the first step into this courtyard will begin to break out in a cold sweat. There is not a single plant in the whole courtyard that is the kind of species that is durable and easy to grow, but almost all of them are precious and rare varieties that require strict planting conditions, and in this courtyard, they are all so full of branches and leaves. Leaving aside the prime location of Zuo Lin's new home and the historic villa, these plants alone can be estimated to be worth an adrenaline-pumping rush.
Making a new home work isn't just about setting up a patio. Subsequently, Zuo Lin threw himself into the grand project of purchasing various supplies for his new home.
At this juncture, the editor-in-chief of the Oriental Morning Post, who was also a frequent guest of Yan Hokusai's salon, couldn't bear it anymore, and even coaxed and tricked Zuo Lin into agreeing to him to send a reporter to conduct an exclusive interview. Speaking of which, this is the first time Zuo Lin has been interviewed by the media, and the most he used to do was show his face at the post-match press conference, or be blocked by reporters outside the training ground. As far as a player is concerned, Zuo Lin is extremely low-key. This interview is particularly important precisely because this is the first time Zuo Lin has been interviewed, and it is also at a time when the news that Zuo Lin announced that he would hang up his boots at the end of his contract caused a huge sensation.
But Zuo Lin didn't want to make it hard to bathe and change clothes for an interview, and since he had been busy in his new house recently, he simply asked the text reporter and photojournalist to come to his new house, and just make a place to sit down and talk at that time. For Zuo Lin's proposal, the editor-in-chief was naturally overjoyed and immediately agreed.
For Lin Juren, chief reporter of the sports department of the Oriental Morning Post, and Xie Shaojie, photojournalist, this is an amazing day in any case. When they went to Zuolin's new home for an interview, they thought it would be an apartment in some upscale neighborhood, but they got a house number that they didn't expect.
Zuo Lin's new residence did not have a gatehouse, and Xiao Xiao, who was helping here, opened the door for Lin Juren and Xie Shaojie and led them into the courtyard.
"I'm sorry. The garage is full of stuff. In the past few days, I have been busy shopping for daily necessities, and I am still sorting and sorting, and the boxes are piled up in the garage, so I have to park the car in the driveway. Xiao saw the two reporters looking at the L7 on the lane and was stunned for a moment, and explained casually.
The feeling that the whole courtyard brought to them was extremely shocking, as if the pure natural courtyard made Xie Shaojie always have the urge to take out his camera and scan it first, but without the permission of the owner, once this impulse is put into practice, I am afraid that the interview will not be carried out.
The exterior walls of the villa are basically unchanged, and even if they are newly renovated, they can be used to achieve unity with the architectural style. The villa is a solid and heavy stone paved floor, there is no marble light to discern people, but there is a warm and somber sense of history, the old building is customary wrought iron handrails and a large number of high-quality wood carved components make the villa look like a work of art.
Slightly incongruous are the neatly stacked cardboard boxes of various sizes that appear from time to time. The living room is probably the only one that is more tidy. Most of the stuff is sorted out. Paintings are hung on the walls, coffee tables and side tables are available, and common things are also prepared.
After putting a few stacks of plates into the kitchen, Zuo Lin beckoned Lin Juren and Xie Shaojie to sit down in the living room with some apologies, and took out a few cans of iced tea from the box behind the sofa and put them in front of the two. "I'm sorry, I'm moving, the house is so big, there's a lot of mess. The water dispenser ran out of water, so I had to entertain you with drinks. ”
After saying again and again that it doesn't matter, Lin Juren settled down, and Zuo Lin's friendly and friendly attitude set an excellent tone for this interview. "This house and yard are very good, and the location is so good, it must be very expensive, right?" Beginning with a very homely but sensitive question, Lin Juren began this interview.
"I don't know. Should...... It's okay. Zuo Lin really didn't know what the value was, but that indifferent look made Lin Juren have a higher guess about Zuo Lin.
"Is the income from playing football so high now?" Lin Juren, who thought he still knew something about the market, asked with some doubts. If it is a general villa, you can also maliciously speculate whether Zuo Lin is "raised" or something, but no one has such a skill in a yard of this size in this location.
Zuo Lin said with a smile: "Playing football is just a small part of my life. I have a lot of things to do. ”
Zuo Lin's resume has long been deeply explored by the media. Born in the mountains, immigrants from the Three Gorges, after coming to Shanghai, the family had economic problems, and his parents could not return to China until after the Spring Festival next year...... But Lin Juren is still unclear about Zuo Lin's life outside of football.
And Zuo Lin agreed to this interview, mainly to explain why he didn't want to play. "I'm a mountain man, and I've been a medicine farmer for a few years, so I have a little experience. I also enjoy doing these things. This time, I am assisting Shennong Group to build a new vegetable planting base, and I am also working with Mr. Yu Pingzhangyu and his students to make the 'grassroots biosphere' that is now a little famous, which is much more interesting than playing football......"
