Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 1063 1063. Chinese Week (49)

Tong Lele, who changed back into casual clothes, did not choose to have dinner with old friends whom he had not seen for a long time. Instead, he prepared to drag his suitcase straight to the train station and rush back to Hanover to handle business as soon as possible.

Seeing that his senior sister was in a hurry to leave, He Yangjin just gave her a symbolic word of advice and then shut up. After all, the old people in Hanover had just had a hearty meal yesterday.

Tong Lele helped Dong Qiangqiang a lot in China. Dong Qiangqiang wanted to treat Tong Lele to a meal, but because Du Lan suddenly showed up and got jealous for some reason, he couldn't keep Tong Lele too attentively. He could only politely thank the musicians from Hanover for their help and praised their kindness and superb skills. He Yangjin and others generously said that participating in the China Week performance was an unshirkable responsibility as a Chinese and they were honored. After praising each other, they said goodbye politely. Before leaving, He Yangjin seemed to see the subtle clues between Dong Qiangqiang, Tong Lele and Du Lan. He reminded Dong Qiangqiang a few words in a teasing tone before he was satisfied and pulled Tong Lele into the car.

Dong Qiangqiang looked around but didn't see Lei Lanting. He didn't know why he didn't go back with Xiao He. However, it was not convenient to ask about such things, so he pretended not to know and didn't see it.

Amidst the shaky waves and a series of goodbyes, several cars carrying Tong Lele and her suitcases disappeared at the end of the road.

Although Lao Bai was practicing selling things at the university, he was the last to get the news. He did not expect that he could not even see Tong Lele even though he was so close to her. Dong Qiangqiang thought he would complain, and was about to comfort him, but he turned around and walked away expressionlessly and silently. Dong Qiangqiang originally wanted to ask him how far he had designed the travel plan for cheap hotels, but seeing his attitude, he was too lazy to ask again.

Because the preparation team had already paid the models and there were other performances in the afternoon, no large-scale feast was arranged at noon. Only a few people from the preparation team, Dong Qiangqiang and Du Lan had a simple meal at a Turkish kebab restaurant near the university.

Although Du Lan met Zheng Chunhua for the first time, he had heard Dong Qiangqiang mention his help to him many times. First, he taught Dong Qiangqiang how to negotiate with the professor for exemption from classes, then he helped Dong find a house, then he mediated the conflict between Dong and Chen Xiaofei, then he actively coordinated the relationship between Dong and the landlord after Dong accidentally ate horse chestnuts, and finally he invited Dong to join the China Week Preparatory Group.

Du Lan has always felt that there is nothing wrong with Dong Qiangqiang's personal abilities. One of his few shortcomings is that he likes to be alone. She is worried that his depression last semester was also related to his solitary behavior. She is very clear that maintaining a certain frequency of social activities is actually very effective for people's mental health, and for this reason she is very grateful to Zheng Chunhua. After a detailed chat, she found that the two people have many similar views, and the chat became more lively.

Dong Qiangqiang was initially worried that after Tong Lele left, Du Lan would take out her remaining jealousy on Zheng Chunhua. However, he could not help but marvel at the sight of the two women getting along very well, as if they had hit it off and had known each other for a long time.

After the meal, Du Lan said goodbye to everyone. She also had to catch a train back to Munich as soon as possible in the afternoon. After all, the high-speed train would take more than six hours. Visiting her lover was one thing, and being willful was enough, but she still couldn't give up the books she needed to read.

Dong Qiangqiang sent Du Lan to the train station. When they were waiting for the train, Du Lan stared at his eyes for a long time. Dong Qiangqiang thought she was going to mention Tong Lele again, and was worried, but Du Lan asked him about his studies, whether he was familiar with the Cornell note-taking method, whether he had borrowed or copied all the books he wanted to read, and whether he had any difficulties in English class. She was very considerate and cared about everything. Dong Qiangqiang was moved and a little dazed. The two women who had the best relationship with him did not have a passionate collision because of the tactical retreat of one side. Although Du Lan did not mention Tong Lele again until the train left, Dong Qiangqiang felt that her eyes, which were still bright when she was walking on the runway, dimmed a little unconsciously, and he even read a trace of worry.

Watching the train disappearing on the horizon, Dong Qiangqiang felt lost and regretted not telling Du Lan about Tong Lele's confession to him. But at that time, Du Lan didn't seem to worry about it at all. But this time, she didn't laugh it off like before. She showed her vigilance and caution towards Tong Lele everywhere. Dong Qiangqiang thought he understood Du Lan's feelings, but he was confused at this time. Even if he was worried, wouldn't it be more logical to worry that he and Zheng Chunhua had something going on? After all, he and Zheng Chunhua saw each other every day, but he didn't see Tong Lele that often. Because there were many people to watch in the afternoon performance, Dong Qiangqiang, who had been busy for a few days, finally had some free time. He and Zheng Chunhua said a few words and habitually returned to the library. He didn't come out hungry until the evening review.

Enjoying the evening breeze and chewing on a cold sandwich, he quietly listened to the review speeches of the members of the preparatory group. Although most of the content was old stuff, there was also some good and encouraging news.

Although today is Sunday, not a working day, the German government has announced a major decision for the first time: Based on the harmfulness, destructiveness and complexity of SARS, as well as humanitarian considerations, Germany will provide 10 million euros in emergency commodity assistance under the China-Germany financial cooperation project to support China's more comprehensive SARS prevention and control work.

Dong Qiangqiang and others were surprised by this. He was surprised that the Germans would actually work on Sundays, and he was also surprised that the Germans would provide real financial help. After all, most of what was broadcast on TV and written in newspapers every day were sarcastic comments about SARS and people who took advantage of the situation to laugh at the Chinese.

At the same time, German companies in China also extended a friendly hand to China. After the German government announced its aid, Siemens China responded immediately and announced that it would donate 17 ventilators and 200 mobile phones to help China curb the spread of SARS. Although the amount was not much, no German company had donated medical supplies for SARS before.

Don't neglect a good deed because it is small.

As everyone was expressing their feelings, Zhao Ke stupidly blurted out "I hope such a big company doesn't end up being a fraud", but before he could finish his words he was drowned out by the spit of the crowd. Everyone was worried that Dong Qiangqiang would misunderstand, so they told Dong Qiangqiang not to take him seriously and explained that Zhao Ke was a simple-minded person. Dong Qiangqiang knew that Zhao Ke had no ill intentions, and that Lei Lanting had indeed not donated a penny to this day.

Compared with this kind of grand undertaking, other achievements made as a result of China Week seem mediocre for a while.

With the publicity in newspapers and radio stations, donations continue to flow into China Weekly's account. From the transfer information, we can clearly see that the donation group is no longer limited to Germany. International students from neighboring European countries have somehow also learned about this. Donations of varying amounts are like trickles, shining with the kindness of overseas Chinese, pouring in from all directions, the farthest even coming from a small border country in Eastern Europe.

Wanfu's daily revenue reaches a new level almost every day. The boss of Wanfu is very happy every day, and Zhao Ke runs himself ragged every day but enjoys it.

Zheng Chunhua took out some sample newspapers sent by newspapers. The reports on Wang Shunan's lecture by reporters from several newspapers were not short, but they all made no mention of the core content of the lecture, the long-standing Chinese medicine, as if they had discussed it beforehand. After praising the effects of acupuncture and herbal medicine for a few sentences, they changed the subject to the fact that there was no shortage of herbal medicines in Germany that had miraculous effects, and that were greener, more natural and more organic than Chinese herbal medicines. It seemed that all the herbs came from the highest peak of the Alps in Germany, which was rarely visited by people. The people were embarrassed to read the full articles of praise. No one expected that when the Germans boasted, their style would be so consistent with that of the Chinese.
