On the evening of September 18, Su Zu and the track and field athletes participating in the IAAF World Cup arrived outside the Modu Airport.

Almost crowded outside the Imperial Capital Airport, from the reception hall to the exit outside, there are people waving small red flags everywhere, and there are many banners such as "Return of Victory", "Return with Honor" and "World Record".

Several blank areas have been set aside at the airport for athletes returning home from the World Cup. But such efforts quickly came to naught. Because there were so many people, the scene gradually got out of control.

But when the athletes appeared, the scene was in a commotion almost instantly, and the crowd of people who came to pick up the airport rushed to the reception hall, and the cordon at the scene was broken.

In desperation, Su Zu and the other athletes returned to the airport, and the airport closed the domestic arrival exit of the T2 terminal, and all the athletes left through the VIP channel instead. In order to take care of the emotions of the scene, Su Zu and Liu Yangyu waved to the fans through the glass when they left.

Rao is like this, when Su Zu and Luo Dayong, the director of the field management center who came to pick up the airport, were talking, there were still many people next to him who jumped out from time to time. There were media reporters, as well as passengers or other people, who bypassed the security restrictions and slipped in.

After a brief interview with Su Zu for a sentence or two, or after getting Su Zu's signed photo, he left satisfied.

"There were a lot more people this time than the last time I came back."

Until he got into the car leaving the airport, Liu Yangyu, who was traveling with him, breathed a long sigh of relief, pointed at Su Zu with a palpitating expression, and said with a smile: "It's all you, otherwise there would not be so many people coming." ”

After saying this, everyone in the car laughed.

In addition to Su Zu's men's 100m and Liu Yangyu's men's 110m hurdles, there are also athletes in several events such as men's high jump, women's discus throw, and women's pole vault.

In the IAAF World Cup, Su Zu won the men's 100m championship, while Liu Yangyu failed to maintain the state of the IAAF finals, losing to Alan Johnson and winning the runner-up.

Hearing Liu Yangyu complain that many people who came to pick him up were coming for him, Su Zu shook his head. In this world where he participates in the men's 100m event, Liu Yangyu's scenery is undoubtedly divided by himself.

This is determined by the popularity of the event, and if you want to switch to another non-sprint track and field event, even if you break the world record, it will be difficult to compare to the 110m hurdles. Not to mention the scene of thousands of people picking up the airport today.

The Chinese track and field team representing Asia in this World Cup has achieved good results, winning bronze medals in the women's pole vault and women's discus, and the rankings in several other events are also ideal. The atmosphere in the car is good, and they are all harmonious.

Just as he was talking and laughing in the car, Liu Yangyu suddenly lowered his voice and said in a low voice to Su Zu: "In two days, I am going to have a meal at Alan Johnson under the invitation of the magic capital, do you want to come over?" ”

"Eat?" Su Zu glanced at Liu Yangyu with some surprise.

"It's kind of the friendship of the landlord." Liu Yangyu smiled, "It's a private reception for the organizers, Alan Johnson was already shouting in the media about inviting him to dinner at the Magic Grand Prix last year, and later in the United States, he was invited once." This year, I have to say something about it. ”

Su Zu nodded, Alan Johnson said in front of the media at the Grand Prix last year that Liu Yangyu should invite him to dinner or something, and Su Zu also heard about it.

Moreover, Liu Yangyu is a native of the magic capital, and it is more appropriate to make a private invitation as a top athlete instead of the organizer. After thinking about it, he continued: "Why don't I do it with you and add a few more people to you?" ”

"100 meters?"

"Well, Tyson Gay and Leonard Scott, it's a pity that Powell didn't come, otherwise he would have been added."

"Okay, but you said Powell, how could he come, I guess he took a detour when he saw you."

The list of men's 100m and men's 110m hurdles players in the Grand Prix Su Zu and Liu Yangyu already know, among the men's 100m athletes, the players who came to the magic capital this time, Su Zu is familiar with Tyson Gay and Leonard Scott.

Although Scott had a bad time in Rome's Golden League before, Suzu didn't take it too seriously.

……

"Hey, Tyson, what do you think of my suit?"

"I've heard about how delicious Chinese food is, and I must try it this time."

Like most black athletes in Europe and the United States, Leonard Scott's is quite stinky, and it takes a lot of time just to tidy up his outfit in his hotel room.

"It's time to go Leonard, Sue has been waiting downstairs for a while."

Tyson Gay was wearing a casual suit, and he watched helplessly as Scott had been there since he left the hotel, constantly swinging his pose, not still babbling and yelling.

"Okay, okay. I don't want the host to wait too long. Scott grinned, hung a gold chain around his neck, and wandered around the mirror for a while before satisfactorily following Tyson Gay out the door.

Downstairs in the hotel, Su Zu was sitting in a Mercedes-Benz business car, and in such a public occasion, he didn't dare to get out of the car, so as not to be recognized and delay time.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, I finally saw the figures of Tyson Gay and Leonard Scott appear at the door of the hotel.

As soon as Leonard Scott got in the car and saw Su Zu, he happily cried out, "Oh, Sue, I really didn't expect you to invite us to dinner!" ”

Tyson Gay's serious face also showed a slight smile, "Thanks, Sue." ”

"You're welcome." Su Zu smiled, "I'm waiting to go to the United States to enjoy your reception." ”

"Of course."

Several people in the car laughed.

The reception venue of the dinner was the Dongjing Bay Yacht Club on the Huangpu River, and Su Zu said that it was the host, but in fact, strictly speaking, it can be regarded as an escort. The main ones are the main committee and Liu Yangyu's side.

In addition to Alan Johnson, Tyson Gay and Leonard Scott, the dinner was attended by Athens Olympic men's long jump champion Phillips, 2003 women's 100m world champion Torrey Edwards, women's 400m Olympic and world champion Williams Darling, and American high jump champion Torah Harris.

"Last year, I actually thought about inviting guests, but for various reasons, I failed to do so, according to the habits of the Chinese, I should be regarded as the host, everyone is a guest from afar, so please invite everyone is really right, plus I am a native of Shanghai." The host, Liu Yangyu, gave a toast.

A large round table for 20 people, with flowers piled up in the center. When the serving began, almost all the European and American athletes who participated in the dinner were a little stunned.

"Oh God, what's this food served?" Leonard Scott had a look of surprise on his face.

Su Zu looked at the dishes, tonight's main dishes are all Shanghainese, and some Su Zu has never eaten before.

Pickled edamame, crispy cucumber, Babao spicy sauce, shredded radish and jellyfish, Buddha jumping over the wall, crystal shrimp, mommy braised pork, Huaiyang lion head......

Especially one of the soft-shelled turtle skirts, Alan Johnson and his coach were sad. Tyson Gay and Leonard Scott watched Suzu's feast with no scruples at all.

During the period, several people chatted with Tyson Guy and asked Su Zu what he would do after retiring, and Su Zu smiled and replied that he would make a training base for a "runner's club", so that Tyson Gay's daughter could come to train in the future, and he would definitely return him a world champion Yunyun.

In a sense, this meal also allowed Su Zu and Liu Yangyu to integrate into the international athletics circle more perfectly.

For a while, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and after the meal, everyone enjoyed the night view of the magic capital and the gorgeous dazzle on the deck.

After the dinner, the guests were also presented with small gifts with Chinese characteristics, such as a silk scarf from the Qingming River, a Peking Opera mask from Guan Gong and a Suzhou embroidery screen.

On September 23rd, the Modu Gold Grand Prix is about to begin!
