117 Gathering

Unbeknownst to Sunset, the afternoon after the game, there was a career-changing meeting at the club, and he was busy gathering a party.

The reason for the incident is that the parents of Gu Shuo, Wang Yifan, and Niu Xinqi want to pave the way according to the old way of Huaguo for the sake of their precious son's future and popularity, that is, to treat and give gifts. Sunset was approached to show him the way and introduce the coaches and club officials who needed to be reconciled.

Sunset is startled and quickly stops the potentially self-defeating idea and finds a compromise for a party.

In China, it is easy for foreigners to go to extremes, or to do it according to domestic methods, give gifts and entertain guests, and eat and drink. Not only will it not immediately call it a brother and a brother like in China, but it may also be self-defeating and cause disgust.

Or they feel that foreigners are extraordinarily uncannibalistic, everything is according to the rules and systems, and there is no human affection to talk about. In fact, it's not like that, they will also talk about human feelings and like to socialize, but the methods and forms are different.

If you want to be like in China, you can get some qualifications that don't meet the level at all by giving gifts and gifts, and it is unlikely that you can get acquainted with each other through parties and socializing, and some advantages will exist in any society under the same conditions, and Germany is the same.

Therefore, Sunset plans to hold a buffet party in the form of him welcoming Huaguo's coaches and teammates, to help Gu Shuo and them expand their contacts and become acquainted. This is basically the original intention of the parents and coaches, and they immediately agreed after being reminded by Sunset.

Even if you follow the German method, then the Germans must also learn the habit of making plans in advance, and Sunset pulled Gu Shuo to discuss the plan, and excluded parents and coaches, in the name of exercising their autonomy.

And they also hired foreign aid to serve as consultants.

Hearing that Sunset was planning a party, Flumbach rushed to the hotel terrace on Castle Hill as soon as possible.

When Follenbach saw Gu Shuo, they immediately said that Sunset's friends were his friends, and they were very enthusiastic. Among the three, Wang Yifan has some German foundation, Gu Shuo is a natural and familiar character, even if German and English are very stumbling, but it does not affect Gu Shuo's active communication in German, English and gestures, and he quickly became familiar with it.

After learning of Sunset's vision, Fromenbach took the initiative to participate in the formulation of the plan and put forward many suggestions of his own.

With the participation of the Freiburgers in Foren-Bach, a lot of attention was paid to and a party that was more adapted to the habits of the locals was quickly prepared.

In addition, Freiburg also has a professional banquet company to help set up the venue, and the service staff, Sunset and Gu Shuo, as well as their parents, only need to prepare some dishes that meet the characteristics of China.

Let Gu Shuo's father Gu Lin, Wang Yifan's father Wang Hongjun, Niu Xinqi's father Niu Yunhai, and mother Tang Qiuli shout that the dishes are too simple, but it makes Frumbach, who is in charge of the tasting work, cry out for a hearty and enjoyable meal. In fact, they are some ordinary dishes that are relatively light according to the taste of Germans, such as Longjing shrimp, braised pork, sweet and sour tenderloin, kung pao chicken, mapo tofu, and assorted fried rice. The only troublesome ones are dumplings and xiaolongbao, and the only more expensive ones are a few pieces of Wuliangye that parents have brought together.

Even if it was all a large buffet with salads, Black Forest cakes and other local food, Froenbach insisted that it would be the best food gathering of the year in Freiburg.

At the end of training on February 29, Sunset went out of his way to find Streich.

"Oh, what's wrong? It just so happens that I have something to talk to you about, but you haven't practiced in the last two days, is there something wrong with you?"

Streich asked the question first, but Sunset didn't expect the coach to pay attention to her, and was stunned for a moment and said:

"That's right, coach, you know my coach and team-mate in the echelon just arrived in Freiburg. I wanted to have a buffet to introduce them to everyone, so I've been preparing for this for the past two days, and I'll be fully engaged in training when it's over, coach. ”

Streich is quite calm when he is not training and competing, and says with a smile:

"Don't be nervous, I'm not going to force you to do anything outside of work, and you have to learn to balance life and football, too much of one side can be problematic. Okay, so you're here to invite me to the party? Will you invite the whole team, including Grifo?"

"Of course, I will, coach, and I don't think Grifo should be treated differently from everybody."

Streich smiled and looked at Sunset to see if he really thought so, and then asked him:

"And what do you think of the rivalry between you and Grifo?"

Sunset had thought a lot about this question, and it was a bit strange for Streich to ask him so directly, but it wasn't hard to answer:

"My goal this season is to do my job well after coming on as a substitute and it doesn't matter who comes on the bench. My long-term goal is to be at the heart of Freiburg, it doesn't matter who the opponent is, I'll try to do it on my own when my fitness and experience allow, so I don't feel like Grifo and I need to compete with any malice. ”

Streich doesn't comment on Sunset's answer, but his smile proves that he feels good, and he agrees to go to the party the next afternoon.

Sunset then arrives in the locker room and extends out an invitation in front of the whole team.

Schuster, as the captain, was the first to react and immediately expressed his support:

"You mean a Chinese-style party?"

As a participant, Frombach was the first to answer:

"Yes, Captain, a gathering with countless Chinese delicacies that you should never miss."

"You're going to invite our whole team? My neighbor is Chinese, I like Chinese food, I will go. ”

Schuster preemptively set the tone. Sunset deliberately chose to announce the news near Grifo, and naturally looked at Griffo and said:

"Yes, I hope the whole team can come. Grifo, can you come?"

Sunset's invitation surprises Griffo, who hesitates for a moment, nodding his head and agreeing to be on time, presumably not wanting to make people feel like he is holding back.

As soon as Griffo solves the problem, Philip and others, who usually have a good relationship with Grifo, will naturally have no problem, and Peterson, Schwoloff, Franz, Hovler, and Torrejon will naturally not refuse, and the whole team will agree to the invitation.

Then Sunset also deliberately found the goalkeeper Fergert Sr., Hoffmann, Richter and other more familiar fans and invited them to participate.

Finally, he rode a bicycle to the west of the city and found the company of the bearded Franz, which surprised Franz very much.

"What's the matter with you?"

Franz would only use a fierce appearance to hide his surprise and panic in the face of the sudden arrival of Sunset, and Sunset was used to this, so he did not hurry to say that he was invited to the party.

"Why? Why did you invite me? I'm not your friend..."

Sunset finds it very fun to deal with someone like Franz, and can clearly sense his crampedness, and continues to persuade:

"Yes, we're not friends yet, but you know, I don't know many people in Freiburg, we've had drinks together, we've watched football together... So, I hope you can come. ”

Franz was still not convinced, and quickly chose an answer that he easily understood:

"Do you think you've proven yourself in Freiburg and want to humiliate me in front of everyone?"

Sunset knew that it would be difficult to explain it to this big guy whose nutrition was focused on muscles, so she simply used the agitation method:

"It's not. But if you think so, if you don't dare to come, I can't help it..."
