Chapter 184 Listening to the song is like seeing people (49/136)
After resting at home for a day and spending time with his son, mother, and wife, Ji Leng set off with Mr. Zhu and a Spanish-speaking football reporter from the newspaper to fly from Shanghai to Madrid again.
This time he finally enjoyed the privilege of having an interpreter, although the interpreter mainly served the leadership.
But even so, when he was on the plane, he still clutched the Western Han dictionary, flipping through it when he had nothing to do, and still mumbling words.
Mr. Zhu found it interesting: "We have a translator, Xiao Ji."
Ji Leng raised his head and smiled at the leader: "I'm a little interested in Spanish and want to learn some on my own."
※※※
A group of three people met Chang Sheng in the Valencia head coach's office, and the last stone in Mr. Zhu's heart finally fell to the ground - it was really Chang Sheng who wanted to cooperate with them, not some imposter.
After landing, he was a little excited.
With Chang Sheng's current reputation, if they can successfully cooperate and become Chang Sheng's cooperative media in China, how much stimulation will it bring to their sales?
The most important thing is that for me, being able to reach an agreement with Chang Sheng is definitely a highlight on my resume. No matter where I go in the future, this will be a great achievement.
Although this was actually negotiated by Ji Leng, it is still because he, the deputy general manager, is a good leader...
Chang Sheng "met" a group of people from "This Morning Post" in his office.
In front of Mr. Zhu, he showed special affection and attention to Ji Leng.
The cooperation negotiations between the two parties are proceeding smoothly.
In fact, there is nothing to talk about, the main thing is to exchange feelings.
Then Chang Sheng made his last request.
He hopes that Ji Leng will be the only contact between the two of them. He will only accept interviews from Ji Leng and only deal with Ji Leng. If "This Morning Post" has any requirements, it can only contact him through Ji Leng. And
He made his attitude clear. If he disagreed, he would not cooperate with "This Morning Post".
Mr. Zhu glanced at Ji Leng in surprise.
He couldn't figure out how this ordinary reporter gained Chang Sheng's trust. It seemed that the relationship between the two was not bad.
He was not opposed to letting Ji Leng serve as a liaison, since he was not stationed in Spain for a long time anyway.
However, the opinions of the parties concerned must always be respected, so he turned to Ji Leng and asked Ji Leng whether it would be acceptable if he was stationed in Spain for a long time. Of course, the company would not let him suffer, and there would definitely be a substantial increase in salary and benefits.
The promotion will definitely not make Ji Leng feel disadvantaged. In addition to clothing, the other three items of clothing, food, housing and transportation in Valencia are reimbursed by the company, and there is also a certain amount of long-distance phone communication expenses every month. In addition, considering that the couple
They had been separated from each other for a long time, and the company agreed to let him buy a three-month and fifteen-day home leave to visit his family.
As deputy editor-in-chief and deputy president, Mr. Zhu can make decisions immediately.
The salary increase was the reason why Ji Leng was willing to stay in Spain, so Ji Leng did not refuse the treatment proposed by Mr. Zhu, but accepted it calmly.
This was legitimately earned money. It was the hard-earned money he earned by leaving his hometown and traveling across the ocean to come here. He took it without any embarrassment.
It's always cleaner than those who take kickbacks, receive red envelopes, and extort money.
Seeing that Ji Leng had no objection, Mr. Zhu immediately made the decision - Chang Sheng's request was no problem! All of them could be agreed to!
Then Mr. Zhu put forward a condition, hoping to have a public signing ceremony with Changsheng, indicating that they have become Changsheng's only official cooperative media in China.
At the beginning, Mr. Zhu’s request was that Chang Sheng could take the time to go to Shanghai to sign a contract, which would have the greatest influence.
But Chang Sheng calculated the time and shook his head in refusal. The Champions League was about to start, and he would be very busy by then, with double games almost every week. He had no time to abandon the team and run to Shanghai.
In the end, after some discussions, the two parties decided to simply sign the contract in Valencia.
Anyway, it can attract other media.
When the time comes, I will take it back to my country to promote it, and the effect will be the same.
Chang Sheng has no objection to this.
So the matter was settled.
Mr. Zhu will return to China first. The signing ceremony must be well planned and publicized. It cannot be a matter of one or two days.
Ji Leng stayed, and with the help of the reporter who knew Spanish, he rented a house and began his long-term life here.
Of course, his treatment is much better than that of his compatriots who are also staying in Valencia. Because he can not only go to Patna Sports City for interviews and photos, but he can also follow the team on home and away games. This is a constant win.
Official mouthpiece privileges.
At that time, the most authoritative news about Valencia and Changsheng will definitely be sent back through Ji Leng, and then published by "This Morning Post".
Therefore, Ji Leng must master basic Spanish in the shortest possible time.
This is a challenge for Ji Leng who has not learned English well, but a thirty-two-year-old man, in order to survive, work, and make money for his family, he can overcome no matter how difficult it is, let alone learning the language.
Already.
However, when Ji Leng was studying Spanish crazily, he still felt that the trajectory of fate was really strange.
Before, he was still an ordinary reporter responsible for reporting social news. Because he refused to join in the trend, his income was limited.
Unexpectedly, he has now become a reporter assigned to Spain, specializing in reporting news about Valencia and Changsheng in the Spanish Football League.
But you have to know that he only watched table tennis before...
Now he has to make up for more than just a language course, he also has to make up for football knowledge.
Every day is very busy.
But he found this kind of busyness very fulfilling.
※※※
After negotiating a cooperation with the people from "This Morning Post", Chang Sheng squeezed in and devoted himself to his training work.
His life has returned to normal, or he has never been derailed...
He spends every day busy at work. Even when he returns home, he can't really rest. He still has to study his opponents and his own team.
Occasionally, he would call Avril and chat, and he would just relax.
This is also his only way to relax and have fun at the moment.
After another day of work, Chang Sheng returned to his apartment in the city center.
At the edge of the apartment building, Rudy Gonzalez stopped the car. Chang Sheng got down from the car and waved goodbye to Rudy Gonzalez.
Rudy Gonzalez seemed very impatient: "Hurry up and learn to drive! Don't keep bumping into my car. I have to take a detour every day just to see you off!"
Chang Sheng laughed.
After watching Rudy's car drive away, he turned around and entered.
This is a modern apartment, much more advanced than the one I lived in in Getafe, and the living conditions are much better than in Getafe.
In the hall downstairs, he first walked to the mailbox that lined the whole wall, found his own mailbox, and planned to see if there was any letter for him. Avril Lavigne said some time ago that she had sent a gift to herself, and Chang Sheng came there every day.
Take a look in front of the mailbox.
A few days ago, there was nothing inside, but this time when I opened the mailbox door, I found a flat package lying inside.
Take it out and see that the shipping address above is Los Angeles, USA.
This is the gift from Avril Lavigne.
When I got home with my things, it took me a while to unpack them because they were packaged very carefully and firmly.
Inside is a CD case.
The CD box is signed with a grease pen.
This is Avril Lavigne's first album in her life, and she has been working hard for this album for more than a year.
She was so busy that she couldn't even come out to accompany her when she was on vacation.
Now, this album that she poured all her sweat and effort into has finally come out.
Holding the CD case, it feels like everything on it is sparkling.
There was also a note that came out with the CD box, and it looked like it was Avril Lavigne's handwriting.
"The new album I have worked hard to produce is very nice, uncle. I give it to you. Listen to it no matter what, I guarantee you will be in a good mood!"
Below is Avril Lavigne's signature, and she also playfully drew a smiling face.
Chang Sheng smiled and took out the CD from the box and inserted it into the stereo.
After the prelude, Avril Lavigne’s singing started.
Chang Sheng immediately felt very familiar.
In fact, Chang Sheng has already heard many of the songs in this album, because when Avril was living at his house, she would sing to him every day when she had nothing to do. She would sing the songs she wrote, and then ask Chang Sheng if they sounded good.
At that time, Chang Sheng's regular routine after training every day was that he would be busy cooking dinner for two people in the kitchen, and then Avril would sing while doing it. He was perhaps the first person in the world to hear this new album.
When Avril Lavigne's singing sounded again, Chang Sheng did not sit on a chair and enjoy the music, but let the music play through the stereo. He walked into the kitchen and started cooking dinner for himself.
Listening to Avril Lavigne's singing, he carefully and carefully cut the chicken he bought.
The first song ended, and after a brief intermission, the guitar intro began again.
Avril Lavigne's song then sounded.
"That's how life is, that's what it is... Calm down your shouting, relax and let the past be the past. If you can let nature take its course, you will find that I like the original you..."
When he heard Avril Lavigne's song "Complicated" echoing in the room, Chang Sheng suddenly had an illusion, and he suddenly turned around while he was immersed in cutting meat.
Of course, as expected, there was nothing at the kitchen door except Avril Lavigne’s singing...
Chang Sheng laughed at himself. Yes, how is that possible...
"When you and I were having a heart-to-heart conversation, you turned into an alternative character in people's eyes. You were guilty and nervous and couldn't take it easy. You tried to act cool, but in my opinion that was stupid..."
Chang Sheng couldn't help but hum along. He felt that cooking while listening to Avril Lavigne's singing would indeed make her mood better, as Avril Lavigne herself said.
In fact, the content of the lyrics is not important at all. What is important is the sound, the sound that he is familiar with.
Listening to music is like meeting people, and I feel very good.

"Ken, can I make a request? It has something to do with the promotion of my new album." Avril contacted Ken Krongaard, the representative of her record company, by phone. "Well, I hope that on September 26, 2017
On the same day, arrange a promotion in Spain... No, not Madrid, I am not interested in Madrid, I want to go to Valencia! I like Valencia, I like Valencia very, very much... If the company does not arrange it, then
I won’t go to the UK and France! No, no, I’m going to Valencia. There must be a lot of my fans in Valencia, right? Can we arrange one show in Madrid and one in Valencia?
...Yes, yes, Valencia is on the 26th and 27th...Okay, thank you Ken, I knew you could do it!" (To be continued. If you like this film
