Chapter 146: Sitting in the well and watching the sky, the sky is in my heart
Chang Sheng came out of the home of Mr. Flores, the chairman. He still didn't understand why the boss suddenly invited him to such a grand dinner and introduced all his family members to him, as if this dinner was specially prepared for him.
The same.
As a result, when they met, they didn't talk about anything important. They just talked about common things, common topics. Such topics were so common that there was no need to move them to his luxuriously decorated study room, at the training ground, in Alfonso.
You can chat anywhere on the Pérez Stadium.
During the chat, Flores said that the meal was just to thank him.
But Chang Sheng felt that it was a bit of a fuss.
I am not short of a meal.
Just to thank myself, I held such a sumptuous dinner and gathered all the family members. It was really too formal...
When Chang Sheng returned home, he still couldn't figure out why his boss would do this.
Since he couldn't think of it and it didn't seem to be harmful to him, Chang Sheng didn't think about it.
The team is on vacation and he will also have a few days off.
From the 22nd to the 31st, a total of nine days of holiday, and now one day has passed.
For the remaining eight days, he didn't plan to go anywhere, he just stayed at home.
The team members can enjoy a relaxing vacation, but he cannot. He still has a lot of work to do.
The first game at the beginning of next year will be against Celta Vigo, which is a first-division team.
This game is very difficult to play. As for the constant victory, I don’t want to give up easily. Since the King’s Cup is a welfare for the substitute players, then this welfare is only meaningful if they play as many games as possible. Otherwise, they will only play two games.
After the game, I went back home. What kind of benefit is this?
Therefore, even if facing Celta Vigo, Chang Sheng intends to fight hard to win. In this game, he will reduce the number of substitute players and increase the configuration of main players.
And this game also has another meaning for Chang Sheng, which is to let him arrange the lineup like this.
Because this is the first time he has played against a real La Liga team since leading Getafe. Although Real Betis and Sevilla this season were both teams that played in the First Division last season, they are now after all.
It is a relegated team, many first-class players in the team have left, and its strength cannot be compared with a real first-class team.
Therefore, Celta Vigo is the only Serie A team that is currently winning.
Since his goal is to be promoted, it is very likely that he will lead the team to compete in La Liga next season.
This game is a good opportunity to experience the strength of La Liga in advance.
He wanted to see what kind of answer his team could deliver in front of a La Liga-level team.
To do this, he has to work harder.
Kate Gracie is obviously not interested in going out for fun. Now the contract in Getafe is basically completed. He plans to try somewhere further, but the most important job is to operate with his two companions.
The funds Chang Sheng gave them.
His goal is to allow Chang Sheng to obtain more financial returns as quickly as possible.
Both of them were very busy, and they stayed busy until Christmas Eve.
※※※
On Christmas Eve, there was a Christmas party in the apartment, and everyone gathered on the patio to eat, drink, and have fun.
Chang Sheng and Kate Gracie, who lives with him, were naturally invited.
Everyone in this apartment now knows that Kate Gracie is a winning agent.
Everyone knows the story behind them. Chang Sheng rescued Kate Gracie on the roof of the building, but Gracie came to repay the favor.
Everyone praised Kate Gracie for being so kind and compassionate.
They were also more enthusiastic about Gracie.
Kate Gracie lives in high-end apartments and mansions in New York.
Although the environment is good, there are few such lively neighbors. Everyone there wears a mask and appears in front of everyone with a sullen face. It seems that they cannot maintain their nobility and elegance otherwise.
At that time, in these apartment buildings for low-income families in the new city of Getafe, there would often be scenes like this of everyone having fun together.
The money of these people is far less than what Kate Gracie once earned. Many of them may not be as knowledgeable as Kate Gracie.
But in these materially poor people, Kate Gracie can see the brilliance of pure victory.
When he took off his radiant coat, left those eyes with envy or other intentions, and stayed here temporarily, he felt that he might like this kind of life better.
Quiet and happy.
Everyone is friendly and welcoming to each other.
Kate Gracie feels that she has not experienced this kind of life for a long time.
He rolled up his sleeves and set up a ladder with other people to hang various small gifts on the Christmas tree. He was busy up and down and sweated a lot. But he felt fulfilled and interesting.
Everyone buys gifts, puts them together, hangs them up, and gives them to the person you want to give them to, or to everyone.
Chang Sheng hung all the small gifts he brought back from China on the Christmas tree.
Looking at it now, his gift is the most popular.
Kate Gracie didn't prepare any gifts - he didn't have much money, so he contributed.
After finishing his work, he held a glass of wine and looked at the Christmas tree hung with countless gifts and colorful lights, feeling very accomplished.
Children were chasing and playing around under the Christmas tree, laughing and joking. There were also children fighting for the right to own the gifts on the tree.
"That's mine!"
"I want that!"
"I like this……"
Adults also gathered together in small groups to chat, relieve the fatigue of a year's work, and look forward to the new year.
Watching this scene, Kate Gracie said to Chang Sheng next to her: "To be honest, Chang. Now I feel that I was really wrong."
"How do you say this?" Chang Sheng said while stuffing pancakes into his mouth.
"I wanted to go back to Spain and enjoy this colorful world, and then leave this world with a satisfied mood. So I used all the money I had left to rent a high-end apartment. I also rented a Ferrari.
Come on. But that’s not enjoying life at all. I feel like here, I really enjoy life... If I choose to come here, maybe I won’t need you in the end, and I won’t want to commit suicide.”
Chang Sheng's mouth was filled with pancakes that he had not yet had time to swallow. He grinned, revealing the food residue that he had chewed inside. It was not a pleasing and unrestrained look.
"Such a wonderful life, I really can't bear to leave..." Kate Gracie didn't look at Chang Sheng's unappetizing look, but took a sip of wine. "If I had jumped off without hesitation, then I would have
I'm afraid I won't know what a truly good life is until I die. You're right, Chang. Even if they don't have much money and can't afford to rent high-end villas and apartments or drive luxury cars, they are all working hard to live.
Only in this way, at this time, can they enjoy the joy of the festival from the bottom of their hearts."
"This Christmas... left a deep impression on me. But I can't even remember where I spent Christmas last year, nor the year before, and the year before that... maybe in the bed of some naked blonde.
, maybe on the bed of two naked women, maybe in a hotel room in Las Vegas... I used to think that that kind of life was what I wanted. It was the ultimate goal that I strived for in Wall Street.
.I made a lot of money, and then spent it all quickly. I didn’t feel anything, and I thought it was good. But after that incident, I realized how shallow I was before... Now I feel like when you take me off the rooftop
After the persuasion, I felt as if I had received a new lease of life."
Chang Sheng finally swallowed everything in his mouth, and he patted Kate Gracie on the shoulder. "How old are you, Kate?"
"Me? Thirty-three years old. What?"
"How lucky you are, Kate. You can really know what you want at the age of thirty-three, while many people don't know it until they are sixty-three. By the time they want to pursue it, they are already gray-haired.
, nothing can be done."
Chang Shengxin said that he was lucky enough. If he hadn't been reborn in time when he was thirty, he might not have had the courage to change his loser life until he was forty.
Kate Gracie smiled: "Yes, I am so lucky! Thank you, Chang. I am also lucky to be able to know you."
"Me too, otherwise who will help me make money?"
The two looked at each other, laughed, and raised the wine glasses in their hands.
"Merry Christmas, man. From now on, live hard and work hard towards your goals and ideals." Chang Sheng said. "We are still young and we still have plenty of time."
Kate Gracie nodded: "Yes. Merry Christmas, Chang."
Suddenly there was a loud noise outside, followed by more noises coming from far and near.
Everyone raised their heads one after another, and through the patio, they saw many colorful fireworks in the sky.
The children screamed and shouted with excitement, and the young people were also admiring the beautiful scenery.
The firelight that kept lighting up and dimming kept changing colors on everyone's face and eyes.
The Christmas bells are ringing soon, and Christmas Eve is about to pass.
※※※
Chang Sheng was also looking up at the sky, but he was not admiring the fireworks.
What he saw was the sky bounded by the surrounding buildings.
An idiom "sitting in a well and looking at the sky" suddenly appeared in his mind.
Chang Sheng is indeed sitting in a well and looking at the sky, but this is not what the idiom means.
I am not a short-sighted frog in a well. I know how big the world is outside.
Now I am at the bottom of this well, but I will eventually let the walls around me no longer cover my vision and myself.
I want to go to the big stage and see the scenery there.
Even if the world outside is a hundred times more dangerous than the peaceful and leisurely bottom of the well, there is no reason for me to continue to stay at the bottom of the well.
When you sit in a well and look at the sky, you are looking not with your eyes, but with your heart.
Sit in the well and look at the sky, the sky is in your heart.
How big your heart is, how big the sky you see is.
On Christmas Eve in 2000, Chang Sheng looked up at the sky from the patio of an ordinary apartment building in Getafe, a small satellite city southwest of the Spanish capital Madrid. What he saw was not the narrow square of sky in his eyes, but
It's the whole world.
