Cheers and cheers came one after another, and a huge crowd of fans surrounded the training ground. The exit passage of the training ground was blocked on three levels inside and three outside, which was a spectacular sight.
However, Ian-Jenkins saw slightly different content in the same picture——
Fans pose.
There are indeed many Asian faces in front of us, but they only account for less than one-third. Fans of other races make up the majority of the fan base.
This is a very interesting phenomenon. Everyone can guess that Gao Wen's sudden emergence will definitely win a lot of attention in the Asian market, including mainland China; but surprisingly, Gao Wen has also won a large number of fans in the North American market.
Love it, and it far exceeded expectations.
"Gawain! I love you!"
There was a heart-breaking scream from the crowd, and then Gao Wen's clear voice could be heard replying.
"I hope your boyfriend won't hear."
Hahaha.
All the fans around him burst into laughter, and even Jenkins couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth.
As the general director of marketing department of Nike North America, Jenkins has come into contact with countless top superstars. Every player who can be called a superstar has his own personal charm. This is true for any competitive sports category, and now he is in this position.
This trait is also seen in the nineteen-year-old boy.
Kind of crazy, isn't it?
After all, Gao Wen has only played one Grand Slam, and it will take a long time to slowly prove his position in the top ranks of professional tennis.
Not to mention, in 2009, Del Potro emerged as the winner of the US Open, ending Federer's five-consecutive US Open championship dynasty. However, after that, Del Potro never returned to the Grand Slam final stage.
The best result was the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 2013, the only one.
So, who knows what the future holds for Gawain.
Of course Jenkins knew his idea was crazy, but interestingly, he didn't mind.
At this moment, the bustling crowd like a hive stopped, and even the noisy cheers calmed down a little. This made Jenkins stand on tiptoes and look over, and then he could see Gao Wen stopping in front of a group of fans, surrounded by a circle
They were all enthusiastic fans, but Gao Wen's face looked towards the two middle-aged men, showing an expression of surprise.
“Binghamton!”
Gawain's brows showed uncontrollable joy and happiness, and he could clearly feel a warm and bright atmosphere emanating from his whole body.
"Hey, you remember us!" The middle-aged man with hair like wet seaweed laughed cheerfully.
Then the dark-faced Asian man standing next to him complained mercilessly, "Do you think Gawain's memory is as bad as yours?"
Having said that, the Asian man still had a happy smile in his eyes——
In the busy and crowded tour, players may meet hundreds or thousands of fans every day. It is not easy to remember any face, but they did not expect that Gao Wen saw them and immediately
He stopped and recognized their identities at a glance.
This feeling of happiness filled my chest, swelling and warming it a little bit.
Gao Wen's smile fully blossomed, "Of course I remember, after all, there are only a few fans who can remember my name during the challenge."
As he said this, Gawain shook his head slightly and made a "distressed" look, causing the fans around him to burst into laughter. Then they all shouted "We remember you", "Let's remember you now" and so on, followed by Gawain.
He changed the subject and said again.
"Don't worry, there are not many fans whose names I can remember. In order to avoid mistakes, I always keep a polite smile to hide my panic."
Such blatant self-complaints made all the fans burst into laughter in an instant. The scene was like a fan meeting, with stars surrounding Gao Wen.
Gawain then added, "Besides, I still remember our agreement."
Agreement?
Brad-Tate and Meng Xiushan exchanged glances, both of them were a little embarrassed:
Initially, they agreed with Gao Wen that if Gao Wen could reach the semi-finals of the US Open, they would come to New York to watch the game live, but apparently they were absent and waited until the finals.
Tate rubbed his head in annoyance, "The surprise came too suddenly, and we were all caught off guard."
Of course Gao Wen knew that they were not middle class people with money and leisure, they were just ordinary blue-collar workers. How could they ask for leave at will? Moreover, Gao Wen was able to advance to the semi-finals, but he fell below everyone's expectations.
I'm afraid it's too late for them to come and watch the semifinals.
"Oh, I'm sorry, obviously my joke was not appropriate. Actually, what I want to say is, thank you for your willingness to honor your promise and come to watch my game. You are the first fan in the tour to call out my name. I will always
Keeping our promise firmly in mind is what drives me forward.”
"So, I couldn't be happier that you are here today, and I hope you can bring me some good luck."
Gawain showed a bright smile and expressed his gratitude sincerely.
Meng Xiushan looked at the bright and sunny Gao Wen, "Just keep being yourself, just like you have been along the way, we will always be behind you."
A simple sentence, with warmth, shines in the heart like golden sunshine.
Then, Meng Xiushan took advantage of the situation and said, "I missed the opportunity last time. How about you, are you willing to leave a signature for us? I have made preparations in advance."
With that said, Meng Xiushan showed off his dark blue jersey, which was exactly the Bruins uniform worn by Gao Wen.
Gawain laughed cheerfully, "Of course there is no problem."
Then he said frankly, "To be honest, after saying goodbye last time in Binghamton, I have always regretted that I did not ask your names. No matter what happens in the future, maybe we will not be able to meet again, but I always hope to remember
Your name, but obviously I lack experience. When I learned that I had fans for the first time, I was so excited that I forgot about it. After I went back, I beat my chest for a long time."
Sincerity, frankness, enthusiasm and kindness.
Gawain's words deeply moved the fans around him. Which fan doesn't want his idol to remember him?
The expressions of Tate and Meng Xiushan did not conceal their emotions, and their emotions of happiness and excitement were intertwined.
But Gawain wasn't done yet. The curve of the corners of his mouth narrowed slightly and fell into his eyes, but his expression became more sincere.
"If no offense is intended, I sincerely invite you to my player box to watch the final. You have kept your promise and that is the least I can do. I hope you will give me a chance to fill up the player box and add a little bit more."
