Chapter 109 London Vanity Fair

"Quick, quick, bring the things here, Brother Chao is being interviewed."

sidelines.

Seeing that Chu Chao was surrounded by a group of reporters after winning the championship, Zhou Xiaoting immediately spoke to Yu Wei in a hurry.

The two hurried towards Chu Chao.

At this time, Chu Chao was facing five reporters.

Just said a few words on the scene, saw Zhou Xiaoting at a glance, and immediately ran towards her, which shocked the reporter.

What is this for?
Soon, he saw it.

I saw...that was a red flag!
Chu Chao grabbed it with both hands and waved it vigorously, swinging it like a standard bearer!
Above the sky in St. James' Park, a flock of pigeons fluttered into the blue sky.

In the crowd below, the boy waved the flag in the crowd, attracting countless eyes.

reporter:……

After a moment of stunned, a smile appeared on his face.

Really are……

A very thoughtful and very personable young man.

This kind of bold behavior is still relatively rare.

Everyone behaves well, but you are special, right?
However, after thinking about it, the reason why this kind of behavior has never happened before is not because of anything else, but mainly because no Chinese have ever won the London Marathon before!

If you didn't win the championship, why raise the flag?
Don't you think it's embarrassing?
And now...

The reporter was speechless for a while, and walked over with a smile: "Is this a celebration you designed?"

Chu Chao nodded heavily.

"Yes! After winning the Tokyo Marathon last time, I reflected on it for a long time when I came back, and I even forgot this point!"

"Make it up this time."

"Is it ok? No problem?"

The reporter from Wutai hesitated for a moment and took a deep breath: "Of course it's okay. Although this is not an Olympic venue, it is also a sports venue. You will naturally represent the motherland."

This is a glorious thing.

Nothing to be ashamed of.

Only then did Chu Chao feel relieved, and he smiled.

……

This match was not televised in China.

In fact, there are very few TV broadcasts of marathons, because the races take several hours, and the whole process is running, without fierce confrontation, and nothing to watch.

but……

A day later, a video of Chu Chao waving the flag appeared on the official media feed.

The weight of this championship is really too heavy in the marathon field.

No. [-] in the global race!

Although Kipchoge ran for less than two hours, that result was not recognized by the IAAF.

The currently recognized race record was set by him in the Berlin Marathon five years ago, with 2 hours, 1 minute, and 39 seconds.

And this time...

Chu Chao's result was 2 hours and 48 seconds.

Successfully broke this record!

This is an achievement that Chinese people, even Asians, have never achieved!

God!

……

Compared with domestic boiling...

London.

Zhou Xiaoting collected all the newspapers available in the market, as well as various reports on the Internet.

"The Times, just one sentence, one short message."

"The Guardian, no."

"The Daily Telegraph, in a word."

"Daily News, huh? When Brother Chao won the marathon, there were even workers organizing demonstrations in the nearby neighborhood. They made a comparison and talked about some weird topics."

"The sports section of The Sun, they exposed our trial training and made a guess. You are going to switch from the marathon field to the football field, and you are likely to join Tottenham! Let me see the author, that is That Ian..."

"The one with the most space is the metro newspaper, the London metropolitan newspaper, the subway tabloid, er, the kind distributed at the subway entrance for free, but this is currently the newspaper with the most viewers in all of London. The photo with the red flag is also Attached to the text."

"However, your Twitter now has [-] followers, and there are still many comments."

Zhou Xiaoting smiled and said helplessly.

This celebration of winning the championship was not entirely Chu Chao's idea, but the inspiration was planned by her.

Naturally, it received a huge response in China, but in London, it was like a stone thrown into the lake, and the waves were calm.

"fine."

"After all, the heat ceiling of the marathon is there, and it is definitely not as good as football."

"For football, heh, those reporters can blow you up to the sky!"

Chu Chao said with a smile.

Zhou Xiaoting curled her lips: "Okay, but Brother Chao, you are really a god this time, so handsome! There is a lot of noise in the country."

"Marathon No.1!"

"Shouldn't there be any comments from above this time?"

Chu Chao smiled and nodded.

of course not.

Both Ren Yun and Dai Chunfeng have already called themselves.

Congratulations, congratulations.

And only congratulations.

When you are completely on the top, you will see smiling faces everywhere.

……

"Unexpectedly, you actually won the championship. I was at the scene at the time, and the moment I saw the red flag waving, I almost burst into tears..."

"Chu Chao's London fan support club is formed... add me if you are interested."

Zhou Xiaoting showed Chu Chao a message in the comment section of Twitter.

Chu Chao watched.

The profile picture is a girl, I can recognize it, it's the girl sitting next to me on the plane.

At the same time, she also sent a private message: "Would you like to come out for a dinner, everyone wants to meet you... If you come, please contact me."

When they said goodbye at the London airport, they did not leave each other's contact information.

She didn't offer it.

Chu Chao naturally wouldn't ask for it.

However, now...

She had obviously changed her mind.

Chu Chao looked at it, then looked at Zhou Xiaoting, showing a slightly strange smile.

"What do you think?"

Zhou Xiaoting pursed her lips: "I think, go. I just saw her homepage. She is studying at the University of London. She seems to be... quite rich, and she posts all kinds of high-end places every day."

"It's your fan meeting after all, right?"

At this moment, Chu Chao's mind suddenly thought of Jiang Zizhen, the doctor's fan in Shen Cheng who gave him old ginseng.

Why are all female fans engaged in this kind of star chasing?
It seems that girls really like to do this.

Anyway, as a boy, I have never admired anyone.

Chu Chao's attitude towards celebrities is - I admit that you are awesome, but what does it have to do with me?
Now, being a celebrity yourself, this situation...

"Do you need us to go with you?"

Zhou Xiaoting glanced at Yu Wei and asked softly.

To be honest, she wanted to go.

Since Chu Chao is going to "go abroad to mix", then these will be her job in the future, if she can prepare in advance, it is better to prepare in advance.

Well popular.

Of course, deep in Zhou Xiaoting's heart, there will be some faint worries, such as rumors about Chu Chao and his female fans...

But there are very few foreign professional athletes who do not gossip, right?
It seems that in the foreign public opinion environment, this is... nothing.

"Go if you want."

"You contact her and ask when."

Chu Chao glanced at her, thought about it, and finally made a decision.

"Okay. I'll go now."

……

So, at four o'clock in the afternoon that day, Chu Chao took the two of them to a cafe near the University of London to attend the London fan meeting.

A total of more than [-] people came, almost all foreign students, both male and female.

This girl is called Cheng Shu.

It seems that she is still young and well-known, and she feels like a big sister, with a high status in the circle.

Many boys are very polite to her, like licking a dog, they are arranged to run around and do this and that.

She arranged the event process very meticulously, online registration, AA system, and only a cup of coffee per person.

She printed some flag-waving posters of Chu Chao at her own expense and distributed them as small gifts at the scene.

Various board games are also prepared, trying not to let everyone who comes here be left out, and have a sense of participation.

The atmosphere was good during the period.

It even attracted many young people next to them to join in.

until……

The scheduled two-hour party is over.

It's just dinner time, the party is over, and everyone goes back to their respective homes.

Chu Chao was a little bit unsatisfied.

In fact, I really like the crowds and excitement, but for training, I can't help it.

on the way back.

Chu Chao looked at a message on his phone, and was a little dazed for a while.

During the meeting just now, many people were added, both men and women.

Now, one of the girls, who still has a little impression at the moment, vaguely remembers a fashion brand, exquisite makeup, a hot figure, and an exaggerated big earring. She just sent a message to herself.

"Brother Chao, uh, I'm a little embarrassed, but can you lend me 5000 yuan? I don't have money to eat this month. It's so miserable, please. Please please. Also, can we have dinner together? Give me your address, and I'll go find you now."

"JPG."

"JPG."

She also sent several photos in a row, all of which were faintly visible and dreamy selfies, indeed... quite eye-catching.

True Welfare.

Chu Chao: ...

Six.

Unexpectedly, to see such... poor young lady.

Can't even eat.

Maybe this is a very new way of trading?
Mind a move.

Chu Chao took a screenshot of this chat record and sent it to Cheng Shu.

See how she reacts.

Cheng Shu: "..."

"Hurry up and block her, so as not to be entangled. There are more and more girls like this now."

"Sorry, I don't know what kind of person she is. I haven't seen her much before. This time she sneaked in."

"There are quite a few things like this. I think you are rich. Don't do it, it's quite troublesome."

She is a little numb.

In the round of my own group, there was a whore in the ring.

So he quickly explained to Chu Chao.

Since Chu Chao sent this, it must not be "showing off", but a question.

At this moment, she also suddenly felt that Chu Chao was quite decent.

Chu Chao smiled, and replied to her: "Xiu, this is London? You really know how to play."

This is really the first time I have experienced this kind of thing.

The key is that borrowing money as soon as you come up is really a big defense.

You have been fishing for me for two days!

How efficient.

Screen quickly.

Cheng Shu: "London doesn't take the blame. It may be more expensive to play in China than here. You can block it quickly. Next time you want to form a group, I promise that this kind of thing will not happen. Okay?"

Chu Chao chatted with her casually for a few more words before ending the chat.

Come to think of it...it's kind of fun too.

Fancy world!

The smell of money is in the air.

But I was still that innocent boy!

……

the next day.

At breakfast, Chu Chao saw Dong Jian, and they were about to return home.

However, I still have to stay here for a few days.

During the meal, they chatted neither salty nor light.

Douglas has already arrived.

Dong Jian was a little surprised, but he basically confirmed that Chu Chao was probably going to play football, so he just said hello, and he was not without envy.

It's nice to be young.

Marathon No.17 at the age of 1.

have eaten.

Chu Chao and Douglas returned to the room.

As soon as he entered the door, Douglas poured a cup of coffee and took a sip. He seemed a little angry and complained endlessly.

"Damn Paris, you turned me down! You didn't even give me a chance to try out!"

"but……"

"Chu, Paris is not suitable for you now. Their forwards already have Messi, Mbappe, Neymar. The dressing room is in chaos. If you go, you may not even have a chance to play."

Chu Chao laughed.

"I feel so too."

"I still need to develop."

"Actually, I think Tottenham are pretty good."

This was the first time that Chu Chao had explicitly expressed his intention to him.

That night, after chatting with Bai Xiaolu, Chu Chao basically decided that he would spend his rookie period at Tottenham.

Wealthy, it's really not suitable for me now.

I may not be enough.

As for the transfer fee...

The value is all kicked out.

3000 million euros, a rookie, is not a lot.

"uh-huh?"

"It seems that you have already made a decision, then, will other teams still go?"

"I mean, La Liga, Simeone must be very interested in you. And Dortmund, the Hornet's style, actually suits you quite well."

Douglas was not surprised.

He could tell that Chu Chao had a good impression of Tottenham.

"Go, let's go, why not play a few more games, otherwise why? You can't go to a nightclub, right?"

Chu Chao said with a smile.

Douglas couldn't help laughing twice.

"Ian, this guy, actually leaked the news. Last night I got him drunk and threw him into a gay bar. I hope he's okay today. God bless."

Chu Chao:? ? ?
hiss……

Is it so cruel?
However, considering the atmosphere of this place in London...

Chu Chao smiled and blinked his eyes: "Maybe...he will start a new chapter in his life because of this? He will find real happiness from now on. Forget about that ex-wife..."

Douglas froze for a moment, then laughed out loud with Chu Chao.

……

the following few days.

Chu Chao first went to Sun Xingmin's house as a guest and got Romero's signed Argentina jersey.

Sun Xingmin lives with his parents in London, adhering to the living habits of Asians.

Recently, he invested in the construction of a sports park and spent a small [-] million yuan. He is preparing to transform into a boss and purchase properties.

Romero is a South American. He brought authentic yerba mate tea for everyone to taste.

It is said to be Messi's favourite.

Chu Chao tried it, but it was really unacceptable.

Bitterness, plus smokiness, although there is also a fragrance of plants, it is still nauseating.

Finally, several people went to a Chinese restaurant together and had a meal of Fujian cuisine.

delicious!

London is worthy of being a world-class big city, where various cultures blend together.

Although there are many inconveniences, Chu Chao still yearns for his "Tottenham life".

I once dreamed of walking the world with a sword.

Now, there is the sword.

The end of the world is here.

Just need to... go.

……

After leaving London, under the leadership of Douglas, Chu Chao went to Dortmund and Atletico Madrid respectively, and each played a trial match.

The performance is very stable.

Both advantages and disadvantages are prominent.

The advantages are: physical fitness, speed, strength, and physical confrontation.

The disadvantages are: footwork, technology, and game experience.

When parting...

Douglas, on a drunken evening, makes a comment on this.

"Chu, you were born in the best era, the era when the masters are taking their curtains down."

"The ornamental quality of modern football is actually deteriorating. The pleasing football, the elves on the field, the passion of five people in a row, the lightness and elegance of waltz dancing, are gradually going away, and the players are becoming more and more scarce. The space to play freely, they are no longer artists, but screws."

"It is precisely because of this that your advantages are infinitely magnified, and your shortcomings are not so obvious."

"You are still like a blank sheet of paper, the best blank sheet of paper in the world, 17 years old, with the strongest physical fitness, and you still have unlimited possibilities. You may be able to reproduce those classic moments, classic pictures, but I prefer I think you will find your own path."

When he said this, he probably drank too much alcohol, and he cried like a child weighing two hundred catties.

Chu Chao couldn't perceive the complex emotions in his heart.

I don't know why he is crying.

However, I still feel a little touched.

perhaps……

This is football?
Football of their generation?
carrying their youth.

It's just that I currently don't have such a "belief" in football.

At best, just prefer it.

The degree of liking may be worse than sprinting.

The factor of being attracted by money is even greater.

Conte probably revealed a number to Douglas. If he can successfully sign with Tottenham in the future, his weekly salary can reach 15 pounds.

This is not considered the maximum salary in the team, but only at the second-tier level.

One million a week, legal income, spend whatever you want.

It's cool to think about.

Upper Class.

Won hemp.

However, perhaps, belief in this thing has to rely on a lifetime to choose and verify.

If you have never seen the world, how can you talk about it?

……

The final destination of Chu Chao's itinerary was set in Paris.

At Lu Man's strong invitation.

For the London Marathon, she originally wanted to go to watch Chu Chao's competition live. Paris is only more than 300 kilometers away from London, and it takes two or three hours to get there.

But at the beginning of the semester, the course tasks were too heavy, and she couldn't spare the time at all.

So can only be absent.

Missed the brightest moment.

Chu Chao didn't mind this.

Friends also go both ways.

He has already gone to Tokyo to watch his own game. Although he also has other purposes, he has spent his time in the end.

This time, since I came to Europe and the distance is not far away, I will take the initiative to visit her.

After arriving at the train station, Lu Man came to pick up the three of them, and they went all the way to the hotel.

Zhou Xiaoting and Yu Wei stayed in the hotel to rest.

The two came out for a stroll, pressed the road, and chatted while shopping.

Originally, Chu Chao had some beautiful fantasies about Paris. After all, this city has always given people the impression of being romantic.

However, the beautiful filter was quickly broken.

I even saw bags being snatched in the street!

Although he was not the one who robbed him, Chu Chao and Lu Man were not far behind, watching in dumbfounded.

A boy with an afro came out from the entrance of the alley, grabbed an old lady's bag with lightning speed, and pushed her hard, then got up and ran into the alley ahead.

The whole process was smooth and flowing, like a sin city.

Chu Chao hesitated, but still chased after him.

But the person who snatched the bag ran fast, and the terrain was familiar. He turned into a small alley and disappeared quickly.

Lu Man was also shouting loudly.

"Don't chase!"

The alleys are quite dangerous. If someone blocks them, no matter how good their physical fitness is, they may be injured.

In case the opponent has a dagger...

Chu Chao is really going to be stabbed...

That thing can be completely troublesome.

His body is now "precious"!
Chu Chao was naturally aware of the seriousness. The stranger, who was not familiar with the place, did not chase after him. When he returned, he looked at the old lady, and it seemed that there was nothing serious, just crying.

So, without paying much attention, he left side by side with Lu Man.

"This is too exciting, is Paris so fierce now?"

"How do you usually live?"

Chu Chao looked at her pitifully.

A girl, in this kind of place, is so frightened.

Don't talk about her...

I was a little scared just now.

This is not a playing field, there are no laws of civilization.

Lu Man pursed her lips, and couldn't help showing a wry smile: "I hardly ever go out of the campus. The school is relatively safe, and I don't go out at night."

"Anyway, it's incomparable with the country, the security is too bad."

"Of course, rich people are self-defined models. They carry bodyguards with them when they go out."

"Do you know Messi's bodyguard? He used to be a gangster who robbed hundreds of banks, a legendary godfather figure, he is a loyal fan of Messi, and he took the initiative to choose to be the idol's bodyguard."

Chu Chao was slightly taken aback.

I really didn't know this kind of gossip before.

Tsk tut sighed: "The charm of the coal boss is still very big."

"Yeah, so you just play football."

"Have you really decided to go to White Hart Lane?"

"It can't be...just because of the name?"

Lu Man asked leisurely.

Subconsciously stroked his hair.

"Why not?"

"The name accounts for at least half of the factors. I just think...it's fate."

"One is first love, and the other is also first love."

Chu Chao said with some emotion, smiling a little sweetly, and looked into the distance.

The first time is always the best, and it's kind of crazy.

But being young and a little crazy is okay.

Lu Man couldn't help reaching out to pat him, and let out a light laugh.

"Okay, ok, tsk tsk, it's really... I don't need to ask!"

"He was fed dog food again!"

"You are the real romantic!"

She is really envious of the sweet love between Chu Chao and Bai Xiaolu.

To death.

"Hey, let's go and see the gift I prepared for you. I must show something after coming so far."

"I won't talk about anything else in Paris, but the tailors here are definitely the best in the world. Go, go to have a measurement, and I'll order you a suit."

"This store was opened by a friend of my teacher. He was also a teacher before, and he was also a design consultant for international famous suits. It is hand-made..."

she said enthusiastically.

Chu Chao glanced at her, nodded with a smile.

Suit?

I really don't have a suit.

A picture suddenly popped up in Chu Chao's mind.

"Ask a question..."

Lu Man: "Huh?"

"Can I wear a suit and sneakers? The white ones, Air Force One or something..."

Chu Chao laughed a little teasingly.

Lu Man was slightly taken aback, but couldn't help laughing, and gave him a blank look.

I thought about it.

But it was a very serious answer.

"Okay, but don't wear a shirt, don't button it, and expose your chest and abs, so that no one will notice your shoes!"

Chu Chao: ...

Don't say it, there is a sense of picture!

What kind of show is that?
