"Bambi! Bambi! Bambi!"
Uniform shouts came overwhelmingly, and even the eardrums began to hurt. After arriving at the scene, Chen Muyan was completely stunned.
As a staff member of the publicity department of NFL China, I was specifically responsible for picking up the player at the airport today to welcome the arrival of the first Chinese-American player in the NFL professional arena. Originally, she thought it was an easy job, and she didn't mean any disdain or disrespect. It's just that football is not football and basketball after all, and there is still a fundamental gap in the base of the audience.
But now, Chen Muyan feels like a small boat in the stormy waves. It is extremely difficult to even stand, let alone take steps. The mighty cheers and cheers are everywhere, and he can only reluctantly stand. We were constantly bumping among the crowds of people, and after a lot of hard work, we could only barely move forward.
Such a grand occasion is really shocking.
Almost a full century passed before Chen Muyan finally came to the front, saw the smiling Lu Ke in front of him, and shouted loudly, "Lu Ke, welcome to the Magic City! I am..."
"Ahhh!"
"I am a staff member of NFL China, specially responsible for coming to pick up the airport." Chen Muyan's words were interrupted countless times, and the entire sentence was fragmented. He repeated it several times, and finally completed the expression, "Please follow Come on, we still have a series of trips to complete today."
The noise at the scene was really too noisy. Lu Ke did not speak, but gestured with his hands, and then walked along the extension direction of the railing. Seeing the crowd at the scene, he followed them step by step, like Moses. The staff seemed to be held in Lu Ke's hand.
Lu Ke noticed such a scene and paused for a moment. He was still worried that the scene would be too chaotic and there would be an accident of pushing and trampling. This was originally something to be happy about, and it was best to avoid unnecessary accidents.
Turning to look at the group of fanatical rugby fans in front of him, Lu Ke used the strength of his Dantian and shouted loudly, "Thank you all for coming here to welcome me home. See you at the event later!"
Seeing Lu Ke who was so close, Zhou Yuxiang was the first to raise his arms and cheer, "Bambi, welcome home!"
Then everyone else around them impatiently shouted:
Welcome home!
Lei Qingkong's nose was slightly sore. In a corner where no one was paying attention, they, a group of loyal fans of rugby, had persisted and worked silently for nearly twenty years. When people's attention was focused on table tennis and badminton, , football, basketball and other sports, they still persevered conscientiously and never gave up.
Now, they finally waited until Lu Ke was born and stood under the spotlight with an upright attitude.
Even though he is no longer young, even though he is no longer slim, even though he is no longer flexible, and even though he is no longer active on the football field, he has finally waited for this day. That kind of touching made a six-foot man unable to help but reveal a hint of vulnerability.
Straightening his back and raising his right fist, Lei Qingkong also shouted loudly, "Welcome home!"
…
Under the escort of Chen Muyan and Vincent, as well as the escort of the fans at the scene, Lu Ke successfully got into the official black van and drove away slowly under the attention of countless people.
Chen Muyan looked at Lu Ke slightly awkwardly. She knew that she was very embarrassed now, sweating profusely, her makeup was stained, her hair was messy, and she was out of breath. However, she had no way to take care of herself in the narrow compartment space, which made her feel uncomfortable. She became more and more uneasy, and then saw Lu Ke handing over a pack of tissues.
"Thank you... thank you." Chen Muyan accepted it in embarrassment.
Lu Ke showed a big smile, "You can speak Chinese, it doesn't matter. I think my Chinese is not rusty yet, but some words may not be...accurate." In the meeting just now, Chen Muyan always used English, but to Lu Ke, Chinese is not unfamiliar at all.
Although his extremely fluent Chinese had some accents of a second-generation immigrant who grew up in a foreign country, he could still vaguely capture the accent of the Jiangnan water town, and he immediately became friendly, which made Chen Muyan slightly stunned.
"You're welcome." Lu Ke motioned to the tissue in Chen Muyan's hand, "I know that the temperature in the Magic City has warmed up in the past two days, and I'm worried that I will keep sweating. This is too unfriendly to the news media, so I specially prepared Yes. I just didn’t expect that it would come in handy in such an occasion.”
"Yeah, I really didn't expect it." Chen Muyan twitched the corner of her mouth in embarrassment, but her nervousness and anxiety subsided unknowingly. She didn't expect at all that Lu Ke was younger than she thought, and he was also younger than expected. It's sunnier than expected.
"Thank you for coming to pick up the plane, otherwise Vincent and I wouldn't know what to do." Lu Ke said generously, "Nice to meet you, I am Lu Ke, 'Rong Zhi Yan Ke, the man is very majestic' Ke." After finishing speaking, Lu Ke laughed happily, "My father told me that this is where my name comes from, but since I was a child, I have never had the opportunity to introduce myself like this. Today I finally achieved it."
The childishness that was faintly revealed made Chen Muyan couldn't help but chuckle, "My name is Chen Muyan, and I work in the NFL China Publicity Department." After a slight pause, "I don't know how to explain it, the specific source. But. , now young people rarely introduce themselves like this, maybe, admiration, language?"
Lu Ke nodded in realization, then switched to English and introduced each other, "Vincent, Andre, this is Mu Yan, a staff member of NFL China; Mu Yan, this is Vincent, my Assistant, this is Andre, my physical trainer."
Compared to Andre, Vincent is the talkative one, and he is also an outgoing person. “Huh, although I have been mentally prepared, the difficulty of Chinese is still far beyond my ability. Imagine. You know what? All Americans only speak English."
"I think Spanish is also very popular." Chen Muyan still did some homework. Because of the large number of Mexicans and other Latino immigrants, Spanish is the second largest language in the United States.
Vincent spread his hands, "Almost everyone chooses Spanish as a compulsory subject in middle school, but to be honest, our language learning ability is really bad, or we are too lazy. We always think that English is That's enough. So...I've forgotten all about it a long time ago."
The self-complaining expression made the atmosphere in the carriage more relaxed.
Chen Muyan carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then began to perform his work responsibilities, "We will go to the hotel first, and then there will be three interviews, one for a TV station, one for a magazine, and one for a portal. After the interview, NFL China’s official media will have lunch with us, take photos, and also complete a formal interview. We chose local dishes, but you have what you want to eat..."
Lu Ke showed an expression of sudden realization, "I have watched those news interviews before. When top stars such as Beckham, Ronaldo, Kaká, etc. came to China, they all had this kind of itinerary, eating snacks. Long Bao, write some calligraphy, and then go to the Bund to browse, or the Oriental Pearl Tower, right? Do we have to do this now?"
Chen Muyan's expression became slightly embarrassed.
Lu Ke laughed cheerfully, "No, no, no, I don't mean anything in particular. I just think, am I enjoying the treatment of a superstar now? Others dare not say, but I am more confident than them in using chopsticks. Today at noon Do you want to eat local food? I have never tried it. Can you introduce it to me and tell me what its characteristics are? I will write it down and tell my parents when I go back to make them greedy."
…
The two-day and one-night schedule was already tight, and Lu Ke also needed time for rest, adjustment and daily training, so the schedule became even tighter. From landing to departure, all time was fully arranged.
The fans who stayed at Pudong International Airport were still not in a hurry to leave, because they learned about Lu Ke's itinerary through the official. This morning was all about interviews. It was impossible for fans to break into it. They still had enough time to adjust slowly. No need to be too anxious.
"Uncle Kong, what should we do now? Find a place to have lunch first? Or go downstairs to the Peace Hotel and wait for Bambi? I see those little girls chasing idols like this." Zhou Yuxiang couldn't help but start gearing up and eager to try.
Lei Qingkong began to think deeply, "Forget it about the Peace Hotel. You can't see it when you go in. It's too boring to stay there and it doesn't make any sense."
After a pause, Lei Qingkong continued, "The fan interaction activities in the afternoon are from 4:30 to 6:30, and then Bambi will watch an amateur rugby match in the evening. Otherwise, we will go to Hongkou Stadium now , waiting there in advance, maybe we can gain something, and even if not, we can also discuss with the Shanghai/Nighthawk players in advance.”
"Okay!" Sun Tongfei was the first to nod in agreement.
Sun Tongfei is 21 years old this year. He is studying at the Communication University of China in the imperial capital. Last year, he became the first member of the country to carry American football equipment. This time, for Lu Ke's sake, he skipped school and sneaked over here, hoping to get in close contact with Lu Ke and even have a discussion.
This is an absolute dream opportunity.
Zhou Yuxiang had no reason to object, and immediately raised his hands and feet, "Students, we are heading towards Hongkou Stadium now. Anyone who is willing to come together can follow; if there are other activities planned, then we will do it in the afternoon Meet us there at four-thirty. However, I would like to advise you in advance that the venue will be very popular today, so you’d better arrive early.”
The whole pick-up hall echoed with a response, not "Okay, okay", but "Ho ho ho"——
Just like the war song of the Maori indigenous people, it surged with majestic momentum and thunder throughout the entire space, bursting out with blood-heated excitement and excitement, making people involuntarily want to join in, roar together, roar together, and show off together. !
