Chapter 388: Coming Home
“...... So you gave up Barcelona and chose Borussia Dortmund just to be able to play faster?"
In the studio of the sports channel, Duan Xin asked Zhou Yi, who was sitting opposite him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Yes. La Masia was a big name, but I felt like it would be a long time before I played in the first team, and I was 17 years old at the time, so the most important thing was time. So I chose Dortmund ......" Zhou Yi, who was sitting opposite Duan Xin, was wearing jeans from CK-Jeans and a T-shirt from PUMA
"So how can you be sure that Dortmund will definitely give you more first-team opportunities?"
"Their managers have come to invite me to dinner, I don't think I really value it, can I? and from the contact with Jurgen Klopp, he is a very pure manager, not a conspirator. ”
"You don't hear much about Jurgen Klopp, so let's talk about Klopp, what kind of person he is in normal times? All we can see is what he looks like in front of the dugout......
"He's a man who is good at talking and not easy to talk to, a man who is easy to get along with and not easy to get along with. ”
Duan Xin frowned: "It's incomprehensible when you say that, it's too mysterious......"
"That's right, getting along with him is a metaphysics in itself!" Zhou Yi said.
Duan Xin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "I know photography is a metaphysics, but I didn't expect to get along with Klopp is also a metaphysics......"
Zhou Jianliang in front of the TV also laughed, very satisfied with his son's performance just now, relaxed and humorous, and not stage frightened. This is his precious son.
※※※
When Wang Shunquan came home, he saw his son sitting in front of the TV watching TV. Watching TV itself is of course a very ordinary thing, but what is not ordinary is the person who appears on the TV screen.
The man was talking to the camera.
At first glance, it looked a little unfamiliar, but the faint smile on his face still made Wang Shunquan remember who he was after being stunned for a while.
Zhou Yi!
The student he thought he would soon forget, but he couldn't.
was a naughty boy in school at the beginning, but now he is a big star interviewed by a national TV station, looking at his calm and calm appearance in front of the camera, his temperament has changed greatly, so Wang Shunquan didn't recognize it at first.
In fact, this child has changed a lot...... But there are always some imprints in the bones that cannot be changed.
Wang Shunquan recognized it from his smile.
"This Zhou Yi is a student at your school, Dad?" the son asked, looking back and seeing his father standing behind him, pointing to the TV screen.
"Hmm. Wang Shunquan nodded.
"He's a world-class football player now!" his son enthused.
Hearing his son say this, Wang Shunquan suddenly asked, "Is he very powerful?"
"Very, very, very...... Awesome!" said his son, who is a fan.
"How powerful?" Wang Shunquan has never watched or understood football, and his understanding of football may be stuck in some very fixed and outdated information.
"Let's put it this way, Dad. With him, the chances of the Chinese team entering the World Cup have improved a lot!"
This answer was even moved by Wang Shunquan, who didn't know much about football, because he knew that the level of Chinese football was very bad, and it was impossible to score any World Cup. But just because of Zhou Yi's joining, is it possible?
In this way, Zhou Yi is really powerful.
The "bad student" who was always named and criticized by himself at Monday's flag-raising ceremony in school has suddenly become a key figure in another field.
Wang Shunquan thought of the words of the old principal Lin Xianrong.
Education is not about shaping you into identical copies according to a uniform standard...... Education, while laying a good foundation for you, is actually to explore the possibilities in each of you, so that your life has more possibilities and surprises......
At that time, when he heard these words next to him, he was still very unimpressed, and felt that the old principal's words were too sour.
But now, looking at Zhou Yi on the TV screen, he realized how correct what the old principal said......
More possibilities and surprises in life...... Isn't it vividly reflected in Zhou Yi's body?
※※※
After Zhou Yi finished his TV talk show, he said goodbye to Schulze the next day, and he flew back to Qingyang alone, and before taking off, he called his parents to tell them that they had boarded the plane.
Then I turned off my phone and waited for take-off.
When Zhou Jianliang and Li Cuiyun rushed to the airport to pick up their son, they found that someone was more active than them - the exit of domestic flights at Qingyun Airport in Qingyang was already full of people.
There were fans, and there were a lot of media reporters with cameras on their backs.
Zhou Jianliang saw the logo of the local TV station.
"This ...... Can you still squeeze in?" Li Cuiyun was surprised.
Zhou Jianliang was quite happy, because it showed that his son was popular.
"Don't be happy, we can't get in, how can we let our son see us?" Li Cuiyun complained.
Zhou Jianliang looked around left and right, and then said to his wife: "Don't worry, I have a way to let my son see us when the time comes!"
※※※
When Zhou Yi followed the passengers out of the exit, he saw the same situation as at the Capital International Airport again.
Blackened crowds and star-studded flashing lights.
Especially the flashing lights, for a moment, flashed so much that he could barely see anything, let alone find his father from this large crowd.
So he twisted his head at the flashlight, and this twist of his head ...... He saw his father.
His father, on the side of the exit aisle, climbed onto the lamp pole used for modeling in an airport bookstore, and opened a piece of cardboard on which the word "son" was written with a black brush.
And under the street lamp, two female clerks in the bookstore were looking up at Zhou Jianliang and said, "Sir, don't do this! Sir, you come down quickly! Sir, we are forbidden to climb ......."
Zhou Yi also saw his mother, she was standing next to her, looking like "I don't know this person".
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yi couldn't help but shout: "Dad!"
The originally noisy scene suddenly quieted down, and everyone's eyes followed Zhou Yi's gaze to the street lamp pole......
Zhou Jianliang, who was on the street lamp pole, wrapped his hands around the topmost decorative bulb, and it was inconvenient to make large movements, but he shook the cardboard in his hand at Zhou Yi and shouted excitedly: "Son!"
The female clerk of the bookstore under the lamp pole was also stunned, but she didn't expect such a middle-aged uncle to slip away, but it turned out to be the famous football star Zhou Yi...... Father!
※※※
That night, in the news of Zhou Yi's return to his hometown broadcast on Qingyang TV, the scene of Zhou Jianliang lying on the lamp pole and recognizing each other was reduced. But the video has been circulated online.
Everyone saw the picture of Zhou Yi's father repeatedly bowing and apologizing to the bookstore clerk after slipping off the pole.
So netizens sighed that there are sons who have fathers, and fathers are so unslippery, no wonder Zhou Yi doesn't take the usual path......
This is not a very high-quality action, but considering the old man's eagerness to see his son, and the fact that all the exits were blocked by the fans and media who picked up the airport at that time, Zhou Jianliang's action was forgiven by many people.
Moreover, after he came down, he apologized very sincerely as soon as he came down, what is this like a celebrity family member? Which of the current celebrity family members is not a person who has attained the Taoist chicken dog ascension type? Relying on his own children to be celebrities, they all dragged 2580,000 yuan. Not to mention climbing a pole, even if you hit someone while driving on the road, you might not dare to show your face.
Zhou Yi's father's performance is quite in line with the image of an ordinary person, he will make mistakes, but he will also apologize.
Zhou Yi next to him also followed his father to compensate the clerk of the bookstore, but he made the other party a little embarrassed - they probably didn't expect a star to be so unshelf-.
So after this matter spread on the Internet, it suddenly became a plus for Zhou Yi. Let more people have a good impression of this star who became famous at a young age.
This is really something that neither Zhou Yi nor his parents expected.
Li Cuiyun returned home and complained that her husband's behavior was too embarrassing: "It's too unqualified, people won't scold you in the future, it's your son who scolds!"
Zhou Jianliang sat there, drooping his head, and was honestly reprimanded by his wife.
Zhou Yi next to him hurriedly said good things for his father: "Mom, it's okay." My dad has apologized, just pay attention next time, don't keep talking about him. My dad is a man of his age, and he has self-esteem. If you keep talking about him, he's ......"
"How dare he?" Li Cuiyun asked as she glared at Zhou Yi.
"What if he gives up on himself and breaks the jar?" replied Zhou Yi.
Li Cuiyun was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing. Zhou Jianliang, who was honestly training next to him with his head down, heard his son say this, and jumped up: "Don't talk about your dad like that, it's not big or small!"
"Sit down!" Li Cuiyun suddenly changed her face and scolded, and Zhou Jianliang sat down on the chair honestly again.
Zhou Yi took his eyes off the chair his father had made and looked around the furnishings around the house.
Basically nothing has changed before he left. The wallpaper in the living room is yellowed and turned up at the joints because of the use of too long, dampness, etc., and the floor tiles under the feet are also because of the age, and some pieces are cracked into several pieces.
The refrigerator is still the old refrigerator that has been used for more than ten years, and there is a keyhole on the refrigerator door.
The TV is the only relatively new major appliance,Because it was an LCD TV that I bought a few years ago,But the size can't keep up with the times。
The furniture has not been updated either.
When his mother was still counting his father, Zhou Yi suddenly asked, "Dad, Mom, why are you useless with the money I gave you?"
Li Cuiyun stopped, and Zhou Jianliang also looked up at his son.
"Your money, we saved. He said.
"What are you saving it for?"
"Hey, we all have a salary now, and we are not short of money, what are you doing with your money?" Zhou Jianliang said with a smile.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Yi said, pointing to the TV, refrigerator, and sofa with worn cushions and cushions at home, "Replace all these things." ”
"It's a good use, what are you for?"
"Where's the matter? Listen to the sound of the refrigerator compressor, it's almost time to catch up with the tractor. If you look at this TV again, don't you think it's too small? Change to a 50-inch, high-definition, it's also convenient for you to watch me play. And this sofa, I remember you brought it from your second uncle's house when I was in the third grade of elementary school, right?"
Zhou Jianliang stopped talking and turned his head to look at his wife.
Li Cuiyun coughed and said to Zhou Yi: "I know that playing football makes a lot of money, but it is also risky. Look at those retired athletes, which one is not injured? Your money, I will say something unpleasant, it is your life money, we can't ......use it casually."
Zhou Yi took a breath: "Mom, can you not take what I said more like an international mercenary who went to Africa to fight? What kind of money? Of course, playing football is risky, but the income is also high, high risk and high reward, which is normal." Besides, if the money is not spent, what incentive is there to make money? Didn't I choose to follow the path of professional football to make our family's life a little better?"
"Isn't it because you like to play?"
"That's one of the reasons. Mom, besides, I know you're not happy with your work......" Seeing that her mother opened her mouth to speak, Zhou Yi hurriedly interrupted her, "I don't know what those people in your office are like, I don't want to say ugly words." Wasn't you quite thoughtful when you were young? Now that your son is rich, you might as well quit your job and start your own business, and do whatever you want. ”
"Eh, I've always wanted to open a fan teahouse......" Zhou Jianliang next to him didn't finish speaking, and was glared back by his wife.
"Dad, if you want to open it, I support you. You can hang my picture and jersey in the store when the time comes......"
"Thank you, son!" Zhou Jianliang compared a v to his son.
"That's what I mean anyway, Mom. You have raised me for twenty years, and now it is my turn to raise you. Don't do it if you're not happy with your work, you can change it if this house is too small, anyway, I'm not short of money now. ”
Zhou Yi said this in a big tone, but he had a lot of confidence.
He now earns €1.5 million a year before tax at Dortmund. After deducting taxes, there are more than 800,000 euros, which is converted into 7.4 million yuan. In Qingyang, a city that is at the bottom of the country's second-tier city, this money can already buy three villas, and the rest of the money can buy another Range Rover.
And Zhou Yi's annual salary is only a small part of his annual income, and the largest proportion of his income is actually various sponsorship contracts.
For example ck_jeans the endorsement fee given to him every year is almost up to Dortmund's annual salary, 800,000 euros.
Puma gave Zhou Yi a six-year contract of one million euros per year.
In addition, the price of Zhouyi's mineral water brand in China is a four-year contract, 2 million yuan per year.
Not counting Zhou Yi's fragmentary competition bonuses, just these easy-to-calculate incomes, Zhou Yi has an after-tax income of 25.5 million yuan a year.
This money is placed in Qingyang City, where the average salary is only 2,000, which many people cannot earn in several lifetimes. And Zhou Yi has it in a year, and his income will be higher in the future.
This is also the reason why Zhou Yi has such confidence.
"Isn't the purpose of making money just to improve our living standards and live a good life? Now that we have such ability, why do we continue to nest in this small house?" Zhou Yi looked around.
It's not that he doesn't like this little house, he loves it, because this little house, and its surroundings, have all the memories of his childhood life.
But no matter how good the memories are, people can't live in the memories forever, and it's impossible not to grow up. So the house is small and capable, why not move to a big house?
Hearing Zhou Yi say this, Li Cuiyun was silent.
Who doesn't want to live a good life? Who doesn't want to live in a new, bright and airy house?
Who wants to live in a small, dark room for the rest of their lives, if they have the ability?
After being silent for a while, Li Cuiyun raised her head and said: "I won't quit my job, if your father doesn't work, what fan teahouse can he toss, I don't know what to do." But this house ......."
She said, looking around.
"It's time for a change. ”
