Hearing Monet say this, Liu Changchun glanced at each other, and finally Song Junfu, who was in charge of leading the team, said very embarrassedly: "Mr. Monet, in fact, we are looking for you this time and really have something to trouble you. I'm not afraid of your jokes, in fact, although we said that we were the Chinese delegation this time, we didn't have any official funding, so we were very strapped for money, and now we don't have any fare for the return trip at all. I was going to ask the compatriots in Chinatown for help, but seeing that they are not rich now, I want to trouble you......" In the end, Song Junfu himself was a little unable to speak.

"Oh, I thought it was a big deal, this is easy to do, all your expenses and return tickets in Los Angeles for the past few days will be handed over to me!" Monet replied very happily.

Hearing Monet say this, Song Junfu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then said gratefully: "Mr. Monet, you don't know how many difficulties the domestic sports industry is facing now, don't talk about others, just take Brother Shen as an example." He returned to China from the United States nine years ago and served as the honorary director general of the All-China Sports Association, and was also the vice president and academic director of St. John's University. ”

Monet said in his heart, now that many people in China can't even eat enough, how can they have the leisure to engage in sports? However, Monet still admired their spirit, so he said with a smile: "I believe that in the future, your country's sports industry will definitely develop, there will be bread, there will be milk, and there will be stadiums!" ”

Originally, Monet just said it casually, but he didn't expect Song Junfu to nod and reply: "That's right, this time when I return to Qingdao, I have to find a few investors, and build a Qingdao stadium according to the structure of Los Angeles Stadium to prepare for next year's North China Games." ”

"The First Evolution"

"Why choose Qingdao instead of a metropolis like Peking or Shanghai?" Monet asked curiously.

"Because Qingdao's infrastructure is relatively good, it is also the only city I have seen in China that does not accumulate water when it rains!" Song Junfu explained.

Hearing Qingdao's drainage, Monet thought of a very famous stalk before the crossing, but before he could say it, Liu Xuesong interjected: "I heard that the reason why Qingdao never accumulates water when it rains is because after the German occupation of Qingdao, in order to build a model city in the colony, it summoned the first-class urban planning experts and architects in Germany at that time to rebuild Qingdao according to the most advanced urban planning concept in Europe at the end of the nineteenth century."

In particular, the extremely advanced urban sewer network, with its wide underground culverts that can run trucks, and spare parts wrapped in oiled paper even within three meters of the aging parts, fully reflects the rigorous attitude of Made in Germany......"

Before Liu Xuesong could finish speaking, Song Junfu interrupted with a sneer: "Don't listen to those guys who worship foreign flattery, the biggest factor why Qingdao does not accumulate water when it rains is that its terrain is good, high in the northwest, low in the southeast and facing the sea on three sides, so even if it faces heavy rain, it can be quickly discharged into the sea."

Moreover, the Germans only built a small part of the concession, and most of the urban areas were not built, so you don't want to think that he only occupied Qingdao for a few years? ”

"Well, is that so?" Liu Xuesong asked a little embarrassed.

"I don't believe it, when you return to China, you can go to Qingdao to see if there is an underground culvert that can run trucks like you said? Ask the Qingdao folks again, was Qingdao flooded when the Germans didn't come? Song Junfu replied confidently.

"Okay, it seems that I'm a bit of a crowd, and when I return to China, I must find a chance to go to Qingdao to witness it with my own eyes!"

Seeing Liu Xuesong's embarrassed appearance, Monet helped divert the topic and said, "By the way, I still have a little favor here that I need to ask a few people." ”

Liu Changchun and the others hurriedly said: "Mr. Monet, you are too polite, you have already helped us so much, what is the use of us, just say it directly." ”

Monet explained: "That's the case, I have a few gifts for Master Mei because they are all Chinese antiques, calligraphy and paintings, so it is inconvenient to consign, I originally wanted to send someone to Shanghai, and now I happen to meet you, can you help me bring it back to Master Mei?" ”

Song Junfu agreed without hesitation: "Of course it's no problem!" ”

"Then I'll have someone send it over in the next few days!" Monet said happily.

Originally, Monet thought that Natasha would let Long Yan send it over, but she didn't expect her to come herself, looking at Monet's surprised expression, Natasha said coquettishly: "Why don't you welcome me to come?" ”

"How can you not be welcome, isn't this what you said before that you have to be busy collecting antiques!" Monet explained.

"I did think so at the time, but then I thought about it, didn't I put the cart before the horse, after all, my job should be to accompany you!" In fact, the real reason was that Nicole asked Natasha to come, because she found that the sisters didn't have time to accompany Monet, for fear that he would find a new person.

Then Natasha whispered to him again: "By the way, have you noticed that Long Yan actually likes you!" ”

Monet couldn't help but exclaim, "What?! Miss Long likes me? Are you kidding me? The last time I saw her, she made a mockery of me! Then he recounted the events of the day to Natasha.

"It's because she likes you that she will mock this kind of thing, otherwise how would she care about you!" Natasha explained.

Monet seemed to have some truth when he thought about it, so he asked, "Have you asked her what she meant?" ”

Natasha shook her head and replied, "No, because I have to be sure of what you mean before I can ask her!" ”

"I'm sure I'm fine, but a traditional girl like her may not be able to accept our way of life!"

Natasha nodded and agreed, "Well, that's a question, wait until I have a chance to ask her!" ”

may be because of Monet's funding, so Liu Changchun's diet and accommodation are relatively good, so he entered the semi-finals in the men's 100 meters and men's 400 meters, although he did not win the ranking in the end, but it is much better than in history!

PS: I really didn't expect such a heavy rain in Henan, which is almost equivalent to a year's rain in one day, not to mention Zhengzhou, an inland city that lacks water, even if it is changed to Qingdao, which has the best drainage in China, it can't bear it......
