Walking out of Madrid Airport, Zhang Erwen couldn't help but take off his down jacket. A Northeasterner who emerged from the cold winter with heavy snowfall arrived in Southern Europe at 15 degrees above zero. He suddenly felt that he lacked experience. Why didn't he have any experience before coming?
I'm thinking about changing into autumn clothes. Not to mention Zhang Erwen, even his leaders didn't think of this.
Outside the airport, Zhang Erwen was carrying a backpack and a camera, looking around with his eyes wide open. Not far away, a girl held up a cardboard sign that read "Zhang Erwen."
"Hello, are you reporter Zhang Erwen?"
"Hey, it's me."
The girl smiled: "I am the translator of the embassy, and I will accompany you to Coruña this time."
"Hey, thank you, thank you." Under the girl's bright smile, Zhang Erwen felt a little embarrassed.
"Let's go to the embassy. We have a free room. You can get rid of the jet lag. I can accompany you to walk around Madrid when you are free in the afternoon. We will go to Coruña tomorrow."
Zhang Erwen stopped and looked up at the sky, and found that the time was just eight or nine o'clock in the morning.
"No need to be jet-lagged. I slept well on the plane. Let's go directly?"
The translator looked at the ticket in his hand and knew clearly that such a small media in a third-tier domestic city must have very tight funds, so when he booked the ticket, he did not even consider "wasting" a day in Madrid. The person being interviewed was a rich man.
At least for ordinary people, when faced with poor reporters from their hometowns, they are naturally embarrassed to ask guests to spend money, so funds can be saved.
This is also a common method for reporters who want to have a few extra bucks when they go abroad for interviews. At most, they just put in a few nice words in their reports.
An hour later, the two boarded a regional passenger plane bound for Coruña.
Translator Hu Yue found that the strong Zhang Erwen did not mean to be sleepy, so she pointed to the vast cumulonimbus clouds outside the porthole: "Every winter comes the rainy season in Spain. You are not lucky enough to come. It would be better if you come in summer. Go to Barcelona.
Valencia, Seville or Coruña are all fine, the sunshine is very good. Oh, by the way, it would be great if you came a few days earlier, the Three Kings' Day has just passed, it's very lively."
"By the way, are you familiar with Dr. Wang? What kind of person is he?" Hu Yue opened her eyes wide: "We will receive news from him almost every few days. The Spanish like him very much, and the newspapers also like him.
It turns out that we are all Real Madrid fans, but now we all watch Depor's games. But he rarely comes to Madrid, and he only came to the embassy once. Although we are in the same country, we have never met. Oh, in China
Some friends asked me to ask him for his autograph, but they didn’t believe me when I said I didn’t know him. Spain is a small country with only a few Chinese people, and you are from the embassy, how could you not know him? Reporter Zhang, you and
Is he familiar? What's his personality like? Is he as cheerful and generous as on TV? He doesn't have the quirks of a genius, does he?"
Zhang Erwen was stunned by Hu Yue's series of questions. He didn't know whether this translator's original personality was like this, or whether he came to Spain and was infected by the enthusiastic Spanish people and was particularly good at talking.
"I'm not very familiar with him. I've met him a few times, not in high school, and a few times at a hometown reunion in college. Later, after I started working, I interviewed him once a year and a half ago. His personality..."
"Hey, wait a minute." Hu Yue pulled Zhang Erwen's arm: "Are you and him high school classmates or college classmates? Then why are you not familiar with each other? I remember he was very famous in high school, right?"
Zhang Erwen choked twice, faced the girl's innocent eyes, and subconsciously told the truth: "I went to high school earlier than him, but he skipped a grade and graduated from college before me. In fact, he was just like that, just playing football.
It’s just better.”
"He is still..." Hu Yue suddenly stopped, looked at Zhang Erwen, covered her mouth and smiled.
Zhang Erwen was a little embarrassed when his secret was revealed, so he had to change his mind: "His temperament is actually quite good, not like what some people said, but sometimes he may be impatient, especially when it comes to football.
When you see something you don't like, you just say it. In this regard, he is not like an ordinary star, more like an ordinary fan who wants to achieve good results immediately. But in life, he is pretty good."
Hu Yue blinked her eyes and nodded with a straight face. After enduring it for a long time, she burst out laughing again.
After talking and joking, the two-hour flight passed. It was exactly noon when we got off the plane, and a ray of sunlight shone on the A Coruña Airport, reflecting bright and dark light.
The two took a deep breath, and it was indeed the smell of the seaside, everywhere...the smell of fish!
"Look!" Hu Yue pointed in the direction outside the airport. Zhang Erwen looked up and saw a giant billboard standing outside the airport. On it was Wang Ai's classic photo of Wang Ai with a serious expression and five fingers stretched out. There were squiggles on one side.
Three letters: "Rey".
The strange thing is that the two of them found no trace of any product on the billboard. It seemed that it was just a bust of Wang Ai hanging neatly there.
"Are you Chinese?" a tall passenger on the same plane asked with a smile. When the two nodded, he pointed to the billboard and said: "The city government will choose the portraits of city celebrities to hang there to attract tourists. Generally speaking,
They are all selected from the team, Roy in the first half of last year, Belleron in the second half, Forlan and Tristan in the millennium. Lendoiro also joined, but was removed after less than a month.
Yes, it is said that many citizens complained. Oh ho ho! Poor boss!"
Hu Yue listened while interpreting simultaneously for Zhang Erwen. After the big man finished speaking, he asked: "Are you familiar with Dr. Wang, oh, Rey?"
"Hahaha, we know each other very well. I am his priest."
Zhang Erwen immediately frowned and asked very sensitively: "Has he converted?"
Although Wang Ai has never disclosed his religious beliefs in international and domestic media, almost everyone knows that he believes in communism. Otherwise, no matter how good his performance is, he will not be awarded the "National Outstanding Communist Youth League Member" without a firm belief.
Here you go. But if Wang Ai joins the religion, the problem will be serious.
"Oh no no no!" The big man waved his hand quickly: "He has not converted. In fact, I am not a real priest, but I am more glorious than a real priest. Because I presided over Rey's enthronement ceremony, and I also spent time on his crown.
Custom-made for ten euros, I am a witness and scribe of his great journey. Well, nice to meet you, my name is Fidel!"
The big man stretched out his hand: "Thank you for giving Rey to us! If you can't find him, I can lead the way for you."
Zhang Erwen smiled and said, "No need, the person to pick us up has already arrived."
Outside the airport, Yan Zhu held up a sign reading "Zhang Erwen" with a smile.
