Days to Return to the Goddess - Chapter 54
Xiang Chaoyang took Jiang Yu and the two to a nearby restaurant. It was the meal, and the restaurant was full. The owner of the restaurant knew Xiang Chaoyang and even anchor Jiang. His hearty voice laughed twice. Sound, taking advantage of the guests who bowed their heads to eat were not paying attention, leading the three to the private room.
As soon as I entered the room, I grabbed Chaoyang and asked closely, “Chaoyang, how do you know anchor Jiang?”
Chaoyang smiled shyly, “I just met…by chance, Sister Xu, that, brought up all the five signature dishes in your store.”
Sister Xu quickly took out a small notebook and pen from her apron pocket, and quickly wrote it down, “Okay, come right away!”
Jiang Yu has been sitting there with a smile, watching the surrounding environment from time to time.
She had never been to such a place. In the single room with poor soundproofing, she could still hear the crisp sound of rice bowls colliding in the lobby outside, and the sound of crowds. The first time she experienced it, she didn’t think it was any bad.
Xiang Chaoyang looked at Jiang Yu’s face, a little bit uncomfortable, and felt anxious. “Anchor Jiang, I’m really sorry, such a simple place…or let’s eat in another place.”
Jiang Yu shook his head, “No, it’s good here.”
“Just don’t know if you are used to eating or not.”
“We are all the same. We eat whole grains. Why are you not used to it?” Chen Ke poked the rice bowl in front of him from the fresh-keeping seal, hot his chopsticks and bowl with boiling water, and pushed it in front of Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu looked at Xiang Chaoyang’s muttering face and asked: “Chaoyang, at your house today, I have just interviewed your dad. I haven’t had time to interview you. Do you mind if I ask you a few words?”
“Me?” Xiang Chaoyang smiled: “If you have anything you want to ask, just ask.”
Jiang Yu asked him, “I know that athletes have been training in order to participate in the competition, so the knowledge learned in school is limited. I remember when you retired in 2006, you should have been 24 years old?”
“Well, 24 years old,” Xiang Chaoyang nodded and said with a smile: “I didn’t study well since I was a child, and I didn’t like reading very much. Actually, if I wasn’t selected as an athlete, I wouldn’t be able to make a big deal. Actually speaking, I’m very thankful If it weren’t for him, how could I win the title of champion.”
“Then do you regret it?”
“What do you regret?” Xiang Chaoyang looked at her puzzled.
Jiang Yu’s face was clearly printed in those dark eyes, which was very incomprehensible and confused.
“Regret being an athlete, let your legs…” Jiang Yu lowered his eyebrows and glanced at his leg.
Xiang Chaoyang laughed, then sat down and cut off Jiang Yu’s sight.
But the more you pretend not to care, the more you care.
“I know, because of your legs, you had to retire at a young age, and because of your legs…”
“Anchor Jiang!” Xiang Chaoyang interrupted, “I don’t regret it. The problem with this leg is my own cause, and I can’t blame anyone.” Xiang Chaoyang smiled stubbornly: “Apart from walking, there is nothing else. influence.”
Jiang Yu is not a person who likes to poke other people’s scars, but Xiang Chaoyang’s physical disability would be a very good weapon.
However, Xiang Chaoyang was overwhelmed by this, and Jiang Yu didn’t ask.
Sister Xu brought up some of the signature dishes ordered from Chaoyang, all of which were large, warm, and delicious.
“Anchor Jiang, this is the first time you have come to our restaurant for dinner. Forgive me if you are not used to eating.”
Jiang Yu unceremoniously took a chopstick, and the fish was tender and tasted very good.
Jiang Yu praised sincerely, “It’s delicious.”
“Just delicious!”
Xiang Chaoyang’s worries also disappeared.
“Chaoyang, Uncle Xiang doesn’t know what you want to sell gold medals, right?”
When Shi Cai was at Xiang Chaoyang’s house, Uncle Xiang looked at the gold medals and certificates hanging on the wall with a proud face. If he knew that Xiang Chaoyang had such thoughts, he would definitely not be allowed.
Xiang Chaoyang nodded, “My dad…” Then he sighed again, “Yeah, I dare not let him know. Recently I was thinking about buying a fake gold medal to deal with.”
Regarding Xiang Chaoyang’s decision, Jiang Yu has no right to say, “Then I can ask, how many bonuses did you get after you won the championship?”
“This…” Xiang Chaoyang looked hesitant.
Jiang Yu put down his chopsticks, “Chaoyang, I will tell you the truth, if you are on my show, about your legs… I will make it clear about your physical disability, about your experience over the years, and your current life. I have to tell me everything in detail so that I can make a complete show. I don’t want any regrets on you.”
Xiang Chaoyang lowered his head and remained silent.
Since meeting Xiang Chaoyang in a western restaurant that day, Jiang Yu has seen him bow his head and remain silent.
Xiang Chaoyang’s appearance represents inferiority and escape.
Jiang Yu knows where his inferiority comes from, so he wants to break his inferiority and reshape his pride.
“Chaoyang, you raised your head, do you remember? On the podium eight years ago, you raised your head so high.”
“I raised it high. That’s because I can see the national flag.” Xiang Chaoyang smiled bitterly: “But now I can’t do anything. I can only do some waitress work.”
“But the honor you once had is true! You should be honored for yourself!”
Xiang Chaoyang shook his head, “That was who I was, not who I am now.” He raised his head and looked at Jiang Yu with his eyes down, “Anchor Jiang, I think I will disappoint you.”
Jiang Yu shook her head, and she firmly said: “No, you won’t let me down, Chaoyang, even if you don’t believe in yourself, but please believe me, the problems after you retired are definitely not just for you. Maybe in other basements, there are also medals and certificates that symbolize honor, but I can’t find them now. What I can do now is to do my best to report your affairs and tell the relevant Department, tell them that they did something wrong that year and they shouldn’t treat a hero who won glory for the country like that!”
Xiang Chaoyang took a few mouthfuls of rice, swallowed it down, choked up and said: “Anchor Jiang, shall we eat first? Let’s talk about it after we have eaten.”
Xiang Chaoyang’s attitude was negative and firm. In desperation, Jiang Yu stopped the chat and continued to eat.
After dinner, she paid Chaoyang and looked at the bits and pieces of change. Sister Xu smiled awkwardly: “Chaoyang, should you owe it first?”
Sister Xu swallowed the words’this money is not enough’ in front of Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu understood immediately, took out his wallet, and passed a few banknotes over, “No, Sister Xu, this meal, please!”
Chen Ke made a gesture to stop, “I am a man, of course I am a treat! How can you make a woman pay for it?”
Jiang Yu handed the hundred-yuan bill to Sister Xu, “Don’t use this set of men and women for me. I don’t eat this set. For me, men and women are just different in their organs. Men can do things. Women can do the same, and in the same way, men can pay, and women can also pay.”
Chen Ke looked at her for a long while, before shaking his head and laughing, “Yes, everything is right!”
Jiang Yu looked at Xiang Chaoyang, “Let’s do this today, and I will inform you in advance of the show. In addition, don’t forget about your dad’s visit to the hospital. I’ll let the show crew contact you tomorrow. The author’s remuneration is called to you in advance, so you don’t have any psychological burden. You deserve it, you know?”
This big man of nearly 30 years old was holding a large stack of change, like a big boy, his eyes were red unconsciously.
***
As soon as Jiang Yu and Chen Ke returned to the Starlight Park, before they joined the group, they heard the sound of clapping tables in the program group at the door.
Jiang Yu and Chen Ke looked at each other and saw the doubts in each other’s eyes. When they walked in, Tao Zhenzhen stood in front of his desk, panting, slammed the microphone back into place, pointed the phone and slapped the table. “Asshole! What is inconvenient interviews! What is identity verification? They can’t see the clear press card like me? Why do they call the station? What a great government department!”
The colleague on the desk next to Tao Zhenzhen replied quietly, “It’s amazing.”
“Awesome… Oh, what’s wrong with his government department? I’m still from the TV station! I’m still from the Star TV! If you anger me, I’m watching them every day for news!”
This is the first time that Tao Zhenzhen has seen this hot temper and Jiang Yu. I thought that there was no one else in the program group except for the hot tempered director Xu Gan.
“What’s the matter?” Jiang Yu walked in, knocking on the table to attract Tao Zhenzhen’s attention.
Tao Zhenzhen turned his head and saw that it was Jiang Yu. His anger turned into grievance, “Sister Jiang Yu, the sports department is really too much!”
The mood changed so quickly that Jiang Yu smiled directly, “Okay, well, I can see that they are too much, but you are telling me, why is it too much?”
Tao Zhenzhen told Jiang Yu clearly what happened today.
In fact, Star TV has dedicated departments and reporters for government department interviews, and the topics of the interviews will be communicated in advance. After all, there are many things that government agencies cannot disclose.
It is also blamed that Jiang Yu didn’t greet them in advance. Tao Zhenzhen and several people interviewed the government department for the first time. They made a taboo and were kicked out after asking two sensitive questions.
Government departments do things for the country, it is inevitable that they have such a superior meaning.
Relevant departments also made a special call to warn them and told them not to talk nonsense on TV programs.
The media slander this kind of thing happened more than once or twice, and the problem of mistrust is very serious.
Jiang Yu quietly listened to Tao Zhenzhen’s words, “Okay, I see, I will handle this personally. You have no experience in dealing with government officials, take your time.”
Tao Zhenzhen is still frowning, downcast at what he has achieved nothing in the day, “People in the Sports Bureau are not allowed to ask those who are not allowed to ask, what about our program?”
Jiang Yu smiled and said: “Zhen Zhen, facing people of different identities, you need to have different attitudes, like the people of the sports bureau with a tough attitude you just mentioned, you must have a tougher attitude.”
“A tougher attitude?” Tao Zhenzhen asked inexplicably, “But… those who are too strong are easy to break!”
“Just grasp this degree.” Jiang Yu had no intention of telling her anymore, clapping and summoning other people, “Today everyone’s interview information was sent to my mailbox, and if you have any questions, ask me directly in the group.
Jiang Yu returned to the office, clicked on his mailbox, and sent successive documents.
Almost all the opinions expressed by the program staff at the meeting have been implemented, but the results of the implementation are still not satisfactory, but it is only two days away from now, and it is already very good to be able to do this.
Just as Jiang Yu expected, there are many other athletes who have similar experiences to Xiang Chaoyang.
Some have won awards, and some have not won awards, but the follow-up experience of similar people is probably that the education level is not high, and the relevant departments are unable to arrange jobs, so they have to let them go.
Looking at the information on the computer screen, Jiang Yu remembered Xiang Chaoyang’s drooping neck, and unconsciously appeared before his eyes the flowers and applause on the podium.
Such an energetic teenager should raise his head.
