Chapter 265: Praise Makes People Progress
By the end of the game, it was already night in Germany, but for Dortmund fans, the nightlife had just begun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Germans are conservative in nature, so their nightlife is notoriously boring.
But don't think that Germans are really the kind of people who are going through their lives with a straight face, and when it's time to go crazy, they can be crazier than anyone else.
This can be seen in the red light districts that dot Germany's big cities.
Football is naturally a sport that can make people crazy.
After Borussia Dortmund's 3-2 win away at Schalke 04, if you're in Dortmund at this time, you'll hear car horns and roars coming from the streets.
It's all about excited Dortmund fans venting their emotions.
In the first half of the season, Dortmund lost 0:1 at home to Schalke 04.
That game was nothing short of a dark memory for Dortmund fans.
None of them are yet to recall how the Schalke 04 fans celebrated right under their noses after the game.
But now, the breath that has been pent up in their hearts for more than half a season has finally been vented!
And all because of a Chinese kid named "Zhou Yi".
Immediately after the match, the Ruhr News newspaper published an article on the game.
In the comment area below this article, almost all of them praise and praise Zhou Yi.
ā...... Zhou Yi's performance was amazing! He made me tremble!"
"Hey, dude upstairs, did you? Haha! But I feel this way too! When I saw Zhou Yi shoot the football into Neuer's goal, I felt more happy than having a shot with my wife!"
"Amazing Chinese boy! I have to believe what Barrios says, he is really an oriental wizard from the mysterious China!
"Zhou Yi is a phenomenal young genius! I used to think that Gotze was already a genius in Dortmund once in thirty years, but now I think Zhou Yi is better than him, maybe once in fifty years?"
"I love Zhou Yi! I want to learn Chinese so that I can communicate with him! I want him to know how much I love him!"
"Oh my God, not to mention Chinese good table tennis, now they even play football so well, and they are very rich...... Do you want anyone to live!"
"I've been to China, it's a really amazing country, they're changing themselves at a rapid pace, I want it won't be long before they can change the world very quickly!"
......
At first, he praised Zhou Yi's message, and later a group of people simply exchanged all topics related to China in the comment area, including Chinese food, Chinese economy, Chinese culture, and of course, discussing politics.
Many Germans learned about China through the comment area, although it is not comprehensive and perhaps very one-sided, but at least it is different from what they learned about China in their own TV programs in Germany.

After the Schalke 04 game, the whole team rushed back to Dortmund overnight, anyway, the two cities are not far apart, and it won't take long to take a car.
After returning to Dortmund, the players were disbanded on the spot and went home to rest. Players who have participated in this game will not be used to train at the training base all day tomorrow and can rest at home all the time.
The bus was parked in the parking lot at Bracker's training ground, and the players got out of the car and could get into their own cars and drive home.
But Zhou Yi is the only one in the first team who doesn't have a car, but he doesn't live far, and it won't take ten minutes to run.
Grosskloitz drove to the gate of the training base, and when he saw that Zhou Yi had just left the gate, he poked his head out and said to Zhou Yi: "Hey, Zhou Yi, I suggest you consider buying yourself a car." ā
"Why? I don't have to buy a car ...... so close?"
"It has nothing to do with distance. Grosskloitz said in a serious manner.
"But I can't drive, even if I buy a car, I can't drive. Zhou Yi spread his hand.
"Okay......" Zhou Yi's reason left Grosskloitz speechless. "Then I wish you good luck. ā
With that, he kicked the accelerator and drove the car away.
Zhou Yi stood on the side of the road, wondering what Grosskloitz's last sentence meant.
If you don't drive, you don't drive, isn't this what the listener is on the spot? Why wish yourself good luck?

The next day, Zhou Yi thought he could rest at home, but at eight o'clock he received a call from his agent, Tim Kitter.
Tell him that there are good media that want to interview him, and he has sorted out the names of these media outlets, hoping that Zhou Yi can choose a few of them for interviews.
"I sent it to your mailbox, you can take a look. ā
Zhou Yi found that his agent was good at everything, but there was one thing that made him speechless, that is, he was too combative.
It's only eight o'clock! I called myself out of bed...... Still don't let people sleep?
So Zhou Yi tactfully suggested to Kitter: "In the future, you can inform me a little later, Tim." ā
"Ah, I'm sorry, Zhou Yi. Did I disturb you to sleep?" Kister's voice on the phone was a little flustered.
"No...... It's just ......" Hearing Kister's tone, Zhou Yi felt as if he was playing the role of a villain, and he didn't know what to say, but at this time, he yawned just right.
So there was no need to explain, Kister knew that he had disturbed Zhou Yi's rest.
He hurriedly apologized to Zhou Yi, and then quickly hung up the phone on the grounds of not disturbing Zhou Yi's sleep.
Although his apology was sincere, after Zhou Yi answered a phone call, he had been woken up and it was impossible to continue sleeping.
So I had to get up from the bed with a wry smile and go to the bathroom to wash.
At this time, the room was quiet, Cortana and Hannah had already gone to school, and now Zhou Yi was alone. So Zhou Yi didn't wear a coat, he wore a pair of underwear, and walked around the heated room with his upper body, and he didn't worry about walking away.
If there were no Cortana and Hannah in the house, Zhou Yi would sometimes wear them like this because he was lazy.
No one can see it anyway.
After washing, Zhou Yi still wore only a pair of underwear, walked into the kitchen with his upper body, opened the refrigerator, poured himself a glass of cold milk, heated two slices of toast bread with a toaster, and then turned out two slices of ham and a slice of cheese from the refrigerator and sandwiched them in the hot toast.
This makes for a simple breakfast.
Eventually, with milk in one hand and bread in the other, he walked back to his room, turned on his computer, and began to look at the emails Tim Kister had sent him.
When he opened the mailbox, Zhou Yi found that Keyter was really a very careful person.
Considering that Zhou Yi may not know much about the German media, Zhou Chinese Yi may not know much about the German media, so he also gave an explanation after the name of the media, which explained the coverage, nature, style tendency, and reputation of these media...... Wait a minute.
It is convenient for Zhou Yi to make a reference.
Finally, he gave his own advice, suggesting that Zhou Yi choose influential media, and try to choose national media instead of local media.
Of course, he also noted that his opinions are only for Zhou Yi's reference, and Zhou Yi does not necessarily have to follow his own suggestions.
This is what Zhou Yi likes about Keyter, for one thing, he will give his professional advice, but he does not force Zhou Yi to accept it, the final decision is still on Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi feels that the two sides maintain good communication, so that the cooperation can last for a long time.
After reading it, Zhou Yi felt that it was completely fine to choose the interview media according to Keyster's suggestion.
And he didn't bother to think about it himself, so he directly picked up the phone and replied to Kitter: "You can do it, Tim, I believe in your professionalism." ā
After hanging up the phone, he turned off his email, opened the web page again, and began to browse how to praise himself on the domestic portal, of course, his own post bar can not be forgotten.
Drinking milk and eating ham bread at the same time, those enthusiastic and even meaty touting and praise, are simply the best accompaniment to the meal......

At noon, Zhou Yi received a call from Mark, inviting him to his home for dinner in the evening.
The reason is to celebrate the victory of the Ruhr derby, and Zhou Yi's outstanding performance in the game, which was voted the best of the match.
Zhou Yi naturally agreed.
However, when he saw Cortana at Mark's house in the evening, he regretted that he had agreed so easily, and did not ask Cortana if he would return......
This is the first time Zhou Yi has seen Cortana at Mark's house after living together with Cortana.
Seeing each other in a different place, Zhou Yi felt a little embarrassed.
After all, he didn't tell Mark and his parents that he lived with Cortana.
I don't know why I didn't tell them at the beginning, and it's even harder to tell them now, after all, we've lived together for a while, and if we talk about it, it will always give people a feeling of wanting to cover up. So I had to continue to be silent.
At dinner, Zhou Yi found that Cortana didn't seem to tell her family that she was sharing a house with him.
Cortana doesn't say that Zhou Yi thinks it's normal, with Cortana's view of herself and her image at home, if she lets her family know that she lives under the same roof as herself, the ghost knows what they will think.
Cortana didn't want them to guess, so she didn't say anything at all.
Putting aside Cortana's question, Zhou Yi was actually quite happy to eat this meal, because Mrs. Wagner and Mark were about to praise him.
There were several times in the middle, Cortana really couldn't listen to it anymore, and had to interrupt their praise of Zhou Yi's flesh.
However, this didn't change anything, and they only restrained a little and continued to start the contest to tout Zhou Yi.
Cortana fought alone, and finally had to roll her eyes in protest.
After the last two of them returned to the rented house, Cortana couldn't help but sneer: "Just a few words of praise will make you fluttering, I don't think you are any better than those people who have muscles in their heads." ā
Zhou Yi retorted: "How can you say that? Don't you know that a famous philosopher once said?' Praise is the driving force for human development, and praise makes people progress'! Everyone's praise is the driving force for me to move forward!"
"Which philosopher said that?" asked Cortana, who sounded like a sounding voice.
"I said it. Zhou Yi straightened his chest and said.
"......" Cortana gave Zhou Yi a blank look and entered her room.
