Chapter 397: Whose Abacus Hits! (2-in-1)
The corners of Qiao Mingle's mouth twitched, are you sure that this is the child's father, and the reason for agreeing to let the child choose his own name turned out to be this!
The husband and wife got together to discuss the child's alternate name, but they didn't say that they wanted to send Qiao Mingle out.
Qiao Mingle, who was snubbed by his good friend, got out of the hospital by himself, saw that it was still early, and there was nothing to do when he went home, so he simply went shopping and picked a wedding gift for Quiet.
After walking around, there is nothing to gain, N City is not a particularly big city after all, and it is quite difficult to buy something valuable and meaningful that is not so cheap.
Or let Sinan and Xiao Se buy her a gift in Kyoto, the two of them have a much better vision than her. The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was a good idea, so I decided.
Anyway, she is so familiar with Quiet, and she knows that Quiet doesn't lack anything, so it's better to buy something as a wedding gift first, and then make up for her when she finds out what Quiet needs later.
As soon as she called Sinan and hung up the phone, a call came in.
It turned out to be the team leader.
I haven't heard anything about the national team recently, why did the team leader call at this time? It's not going to be to talk to her about the family's shortcomings!
Thinking like this, she picked up the phone suspiciously.
"Xiao Qiao, do you have time now, I'll invite you to a meal when you come out", the team leader asked with a smile.
"Are you in N City? Is the whole team there or is it just you? Will you just invite me to dinner, or will you bring me with you? Qiao Mingle asked.
"The National Games are about to open, and the national team has no other games in the first half of the year, and the team is temporarily disbanded, I have nothing to do, so I came to N City, thinking about having a meal with you, do you have time?" The team leader explained.
Qiao Mingle intuitively felt that something was wrong, when the national team was temporarily disbanded in previous years, the team leader was not idle at all. The team members are only responsible for training and competitions, and the team leader has a lot of things to do, and sometimes they don't even have a break on statutory holidays.
But just now the team leader actually said that he had nothing to do, which was obviously very unusual.
"Where are you, team leader? I'm out right now, if it's convenient for you, let's meet now," Qiao Mingle asked.
It's only four o'clock in the afternoon, lunch is a little past, and dinner is still a little early.
But these are not important, the team leader is already very happy to invite Qiao Mingle to dinner.
"Okay, I'm also outside, let's meet at the restaurant of the Century Hotel, the ingredients there are quite safe, you can eat with confidence", the team leader said thoughtfully.
When Qiao Mingle arrived at the restaurant of the Century Hotel, the team leader had already arrived and was sitting next to a potted plant on the right side of the lobby.
"Team leader, have you ordered?" Qiao Mingle sat down unceremoniously opposite the team leader and asked with a grin.
"Order, ensure that it is delicious and safe, and it is good for your body", the team leader looked at her carefully, and added very unsympatheticly, "Xiao Qiao, although you have left the national team, you have not retired after all, you can't be too indulgent to yourself." It's only been since the league ended, why are you fat like this! ”
Qiao Mingle reached out and touched his face, a little incredulous, "Am I really fat?" Gained a lot of weight? ”
She didn't feel fat at all. However, since she played in the league, she has not been to the base to train, and it is true that her muscles have lost and her flesh has increased, but she is not so fat that she can be seen at a glance.
"Look at you, what is the round face", the team leader said disgustedly: "If this is changed to when you were still in the team before, I must control your diet and let you gnaw vegetables and radishes every day like a rabbit." Xiao Qiao, you can't abuse yourself so badly at any time, you're getting older and older, and you can't control yourself well, you will definitely be finished in two years."
Although the team leader's words are not good, they are the truth.
Qiao Mingle was not only not angry but also very grateful to him, if she hadn't met the team leader today, she wouldn't have known that she was going further and further on the road of obesity.
The waiter brought the meal, and he should have turned around and left, but the young man hesitated for a moment, and suddenly pushed a piece of meal paper in front of Qiao Mingle, "Da Le, sign me a name, you don't often come to our restaurant to eat, it's not easy to catch you once."
Qiao Mingle wanted to say that she seemed to have signed a waiter when she came to eat last time, and she doesn't wear glasses or a mask when she goes out now, how easy it is to catch her!
But she only thought about it in her heart, and didn't say it.
While signing her autograph, she also chatted and said to the waiter: "Everywhere I go now, people ask me for autographs, and I find that there are more and more fans with my autograph, will every fan have my signature in their hands in the future?"
"How is this possible", taking Qiao Mingle's autograph, the waiter smiled and squinted, "Do you know how many of your fans are in the country, this number will only increase, you, even if you sign in from morning to night, it is impossible to sign it all in one day."
After serving the last dish, the waiter also said to Qiao Mingle: "You can eat at ease, I told others that they are not allowed to come and disturb you." Next time you come to eat before you call our duty manager, she can arrange a private room for you, the waiter in the private room is very strict, chatting with customers is fine, even if someone recognizes you and dare not talk to you."
This waiter brother is so funny that he even gave Qiao Mingle the idea of preventing and disturbing, completely forgetting that he was actually a person who disturbed her eating.
After the waiter left, Qiao Mingle didn't say anything polite to the team leader, and picked up the chopsticks and ate them without letting them go.
The team leader didn't eat by himself, but only looked at Qiao Mingle with interest.
Qiao Mingle didn't feel awkward, and didn't put down his chopsticks to drink saliva until he was half full, and asked the team leader: "You look at me so affectionately, I know that you are caring for athletes, and I don't know that I think you are planning unspoken rules for me."
The team leader's old face was blue and red for a while, if it weren't for the fact that this was a public occasion, he would have reached out and patted her, "Qiao Mingle, your daughters are several years old, can you not be so open-mouthed when you speak!" There are still unspoken rules, if I had this mind, I would have started a few years earlier, and I would have waited for you to get married and have a daughter."
Qiao Mingle leaned his arms on the table and said to the team leader with a smile: "Team leader, let me tell you a story, do you want to hear it?" ”
The team leader intuitively felt that she didn't have any good intentions in telling stories, but his curiosity was aroused, and he couldn't help it, and asked, "What story?" ”
So Qiao Mingle told him the story of a sports school teacher who beat her up for her idea, but she lost her reputation, lost her career, and finally went to prison......
After she finished speaking, the team leader's face was black and terrifying.
"Qiao Mingle, I found that it was a mistake for me to ask you to come out for dinner today, didn't I add to my own blockage, with this kung fu, it is better for me to sit on the bench in the Central Park for two hours than to talk to you", the team leader said regretfully.
Qiao Mingle chuckled, "I'm here to block you, I'm not here to make you happy." Look at you, how old you are, and your hair is half white. You can be regarded as a lifelong contribution to the basketball career, if you really can't retire, you see how happy the retired old men and old ladies in the park are every day, boxing, walking the dog, drinking tea and playing chess, no better than you are angry inside and out. To put it mildly, if you continue like this, maybe one day you will close your eyes and kick your legs, and it will pass."
The team leader almost made her cry.
Aside from looking at Qiao Mingle, he sniffed, then turned his head and said to Qiao Mingle with red eyes: "You kid, you're like a monkey, you can't hide anything from you." I've been a good person for so many years, no one can be offended, I think my popularity is very good, in fact, I really haven't offended anyone, and no one has been punished. When it comes to the critical moment, no one treats me as their own, just like that football, you can play as far as you can."
Speaking of which, it is still the same problem, once a son of heaven and a courtier, the current director of the basketball center wants to install his own people inside, and the team leader is not his own person, so he will naturally be excluded.
The director's purpose is very simple, that is, he wants to force the team leader to leave by himself, he does not have to bear the charge of excluding dissidents, and justifiably installs his own people.
If it were a few years ago, Qiao Mingle would definitely not understand the twists and turns in it, but over the years, I have seen a lot in the women's national basketball team, seen a lot, and almost touched these ways of officialdom.
"So what's your situation now? Vacation or ......"
"The leader sympathized with us for working hard for the team for so many years, and specially gave me a three-month long vacation and arranged a temporary team leader to take over my work," the team leader said sarcastically.
Take a three-month vacation, hand over all the work to others, and when he returns to the team after the vacation, will there still be a place for him in the team?
Actually, the above is just thinking about the Fa to empty his power and make him an empty shell with no name. If the team leader's heart is not strong enough, he can't stand this grievance and leaves angrily, of course, this is also in their arms.
However, if the team leader can calm down and have a good time for a few months, even if the power is hollowed out when he returns to the team, he will resolutely not leave, just stand in this false name, and he can still receive a salary all day long, and then he will become someone else.
"Then will you be reimbursed for the money you spent on this vacation?" Qiao Mingle's focus greatly exceeded the team leader's expectations.
The team leader was stunned for a moment before replying: "Report, of course I did, the name they gave me was to make up for my vacation and paid travel over the years."
Qiao Mingle glanced at the team leader, and said nonchalantly: "Then what are you still depressed here?" If I were you, I would have fun and eat whatever was expensive, and it wasn't you who spent money anyway. Not only does it cost money, but you also have to take pictures everywhere, take pictures happily, and send them to the circle of friends after the shooting, not limited to the circle of friends, that is, the people above can see you wherever they can send it, so that they can look at your smiling face every day and their liver hurts. After the vacation, you make a big pot of tea every day and take it with you in a cup, and you can follow the team leader wherever he goes, you don't have to work, just drink tea from the side while he is working......"
The team leader was stunned for a moment, and when Qiao Mingle finished speaking, he hesitated and asked, "Is this really possible?" Will they call me derelict and fire me? ”
"Don't you still have us!" Qiao Mingle patted his chest and said: "You are the leader who has brought out the Olympic gold medal, you have counted the number of countries in Z, how many team leaders have brought out the Olympic gold medal in basketball?" That's you! As long as you don't make principled mistakes such as being greedy, dirty, bribe-taking, seducing and raping female athletes, the people above will not dare to touch you easily."
Qiao Mingle gave him an analysis little by little, and the analysis was particularly thorough.
At first, the team leader was still stunned, but then he looked at Qiao Mingle with adoring eyes.
After she finished analyzing, he said from the bottom of his heart: "Xiao Qiao, I found the right one for you today." I don't even know what you're putting in your head, why are there so many crooked ideas, don't say it, it's all quite reasonable, I'll do as you say. Isn't it quiet to get married next month, I'll stay in N City, and wait for her to go to other places after the wedding."
"There's not much to do in N City, but there are plenty of things to do in S and L around here, so you might as well visit these places before your quiet wedding. Wait until her wedding is over and go a little farther away," Qiao Mingle suggested.
The team leader felt that this was a good note, and immediately responded.
Qiao Mingle took a sip of water to moisten his throat, his big dark eyes turned around, put down the water cup and asked the team leader with a smile, "Team leader, do you need someone to take pictures of you when you go out to play?" ”
"No, I have a selfie ......"
Before he finished speaking, he smacked, "You want to go out with me?" Don't be afraid of the unspoken rules now! ”
"You can't protect yourself, I have no vision to find you to dive!" Qiao Mingle said very shamelessly, and explained: "Not only me, but Ye Xiaoxiao and Jingjing have nothing to do, we have discussed before that we want to go out for a few days before the quiet wedding." Isn't this just the time you want to go out and have fun, why don't we go out together, you're lonely yourself."
Before, the three of them discussed that they wanted to go out and go crazy before the last single and quiet marriage in the Iron Triangle, although now two of the three are pregnant, and Ye Xiaoxiao's month is already very big, but they don't plan to give up the plan, and finally decided not to go far away, just play in a nearby city for a few days.
She said that she went out with the team leader to take pictures of the team leader, but in fact, she still had the idea of asking the team leader to take more group photos of the three of them......
Besides, Ye Xiaoxiao and the team leader also have a good relationship, if they knew that the team leader was so pitiful now, she didn't need to say anything, and she would definitely take the initiative to lead the team to play together.
In this case, why don't she be a good person, say everything that needs to be said, do everything that needs to be done, and save them the trouble. (To be continued.) )
