Chapter 184 Listening to Songs Is Like Seeing People (49/136)
After resting at home for a day and spending time with his son, mother, and wife, Ji Leng set off with Mr. Zhu and a Spanish-speaking football reporter from the newspaper, and flew from Shanghai to Madrid again.
This time he finally enjoyed the treatment of having an interpreter, although the interpreter was mainly for the leadership.
But even so, when he was on the plane, he was still clutching the Western Chinese dictionary, flipping through it whenever he had nothing to do, and still muttering words in his mouth.
Mr. Zhu found it interesting: "We have translators, Xiao Ji."
Ji Leng raised his head and smiled at the leader: "I'm a little interested in Spanish and want to learn it by myself."
※※※
The group of three met Chang Sheng in the Valencia coach's office, and the last stone in Mr. Zhu's heart finally fell to the ground-it was really Chang Sheng who wanted to cooperate with them, not some imposter.
After landing, he was a little excited.
With Changsheng's current reputation, if they can cooperate successfully and become Changsheng's cooperative media in China, how much will this stimulate their sales?
The most important thing is that for me, being able to reach an agreement with Chang Sheng is definitely a stroke of honor on my resume. In the future, no matter where you go, this will be a remarkable achievement.
Although this was actually discussed by Ji Leng, but it is always because of his leadership as the vice president...
Chang Sheng "received" a group of people from "Today Morning Post" in the office.
In front of Mr. Zhu, he showed special affection and attention to Ji Leng.
Negotiations on cooperation between the two parties have progressed smoothly.
In fact, there is nothing to talk about, the main thing is to exchange feelings.
Then Chang Sheng made his last request.
He hopes to make Ji Leng the only contact between them, he only accepts Ji Leng's exclusive interview, and only deals with Ji Leng. If "Today Morning Post" has any request, it can only contact him through Ji Leng. And expressed his attitude, if he disagreed, he would not cooperate with "Today Morning Post".
Mr. Zhu glanced at Ji Leng in surprise.
He couldn't figure out how this ordinary reporter gained Chang Sheng's trust,
It seems that the relationship between the two is not bad.
He has no objection to letting Ji Leng be a liaison, anyway, he is not stationed in Spain for a long time.
But always respect the opinion of the person involved, so he turned to ask Ji Leng. Is it acceptable if you want to stay in Spain for a long time. Of course, the society won't let him suffer. In terms of salary, there will definitely be a substantial increase. Ji Leng will definitely not feel disadvantaged. Basic necessities of life in Valencia. Except for clothing, the other three items are reimbursed by the agency, and there is also a certain amount of long-distance telephone communication fees every month. In addition, considering the long-term separation between the husband and wife, the agency also agreed to allow him to buy three months and 15 days of home visit leave.
Mr. Zhu serves as the deputy editor-in-chief. The vice president can make decisions immediately.
The salary increase is the reason why Ji Leng is willing to stay in Spain. Therefore, Ji Leng did not refuse the treatment proposed by Mr. Zhu, but accepted it calmly.
This is rightfully earned money. He has no embarrassment in taking the hard-earned money he earned from leaving his hometown and traveling across the ocean to come here.
It's better than the money from kickbacks, red envelopes, and extortion.
Seeing that Ji Leng had no objection, Mr. Zhu immediately made a decision—there is no problem with Chang Sheng's request! All can be promised!
Then Mr. Zhu put forward a condition, hoping to have an open signing ceremony with Changsheng, indicating that they have become Changsheng's only official cooperative media in China.
At the beginning, Mr. Zhu's request was that he hoped that Chang Sheng could take the time to go to Shanghai to sign a contract, which would have the greatest influence.
But Chang Sheng counted the time, shook his head and refused. The UEFA Champions League starts now. At that time, he will be very busy with his time, and almost every week will be a double match, so he will not have time to leave the team and go to Shanghai.
In the end, after some discussions, the two sides decided to sign the contract in Valencia.
Anyway, it can attract other media.
At that time, I will take it back to the country to promote it, and the effect will be the same.
Chang Sheng has no objection to this.
So things settled down.
Mr. Zhu returned to China first. The signing ceremony needs to be well planned and publicized, not just a day or two.
Ji Leng stayed and rented a house with the help of the Spanish-speaking reporter. Start your own life here for a long time.
Of course, his treatment is much better than those of his compatriots who are also squatting in Valencia. Because he can not only go to Patna Sports City to interview and take pictures. He can also travel home and away with the team. This is the privilege of Changsheng's official mouthpiece.
At that time, the most authoritative news about Valencia and Changsheng must be passed back through Ji Leng, and then released by "Today Morning Post".
Therefore, Ji Leng must master basic Spanish in the shortest possible time.
This is a challenge for Ji Leng, who has not learned English well, but a 32-year-old man, in order to survive, work, and earn money for his family, no matter how big the difficulty is, he can overcome it, not to mention learning the language up.
However, when Ji Leng was frantically studying Spanish, he still felt that the trajectory of fate was really strange.
Before that, he was still an ordinary reporter responsible for reporting social news, because he refused to join forces, and his income was limited.
Unexpectedly, now he has become a reporter dispatched to Spain, specializing in reporting news about Valencia and Changsheng in the Spanish Football League.
You must know that he only watched table tennis before...
Now what he needs to make up is not just a language, he also needs to make up football knowledge.
Every day is very busy.
But he felt that this kind of busyness was very fulfilling.
※※※
After negotiating cooperation with the people from "Today Morning Post", Chang Sheng squeezed into his own training work.
His life returned to normal, or he never cheated...
Every day is spent in a very busy job. Even when he returned home, he couldn't really rest. He still had to study his opponents and his own team.
Occasionally, he would make a phone call with Avril Lavigne to chat, and it was right to relax.
This is also the only way for him to relax and entertain at present.
After another day of work, Chang Sheng returned to his apartment in the city center.
Beside the apartment building, Rudy Gonzalez pulled over the car and Chang Sheng got off from it. Wave goodbye to Rudy Gonzalez.
Rudy Gonzalez seemed very impatient: "Hurry up and learn to drive! Don't keep rubbing against my car, I have to detour every day to see you off!"
Chang Sheng laughed out loud.
After watching Rudy's car drive away, he turned and entered the door.
This is a modern apartment, much more advanced than the one I lived in Getafe. The living conditions are much better than when they were in Getafe.
In the hall downstairs. He first walked to the mailbox on the entire wall, found his own mailbox, and planned to see if there was a letter for himself. A while ago, Avril Lavigne said that she had sent herself a gift. Chang Sheng went to the mailbox every day to have a look.
A few days ago, there was nothing inside, but this time when I opened the mailbox door, I found a flat package lying inside.
Take it out, see the shipping address above is Los Angeles, USA.
This is the gift from Avril Lavigne.
Bring things home. It took a little effort to open the package, because the package was very careful and strong.
Inside is a CD case.
There is a name on the CD case signed with an oil-based pen.
This is Avril Lavigne's first album in her life, and she has worked hard for this album for more than a year.
She was so busy that she was on vacation, she couldn't come out to accompany her.
Now, this album that poured all her sweat and painstaking effort into it has finally come out.
Holding the CD case, it seems that the top is shining.
Along with the CD box came out a sticky note, which was written by Avril Lavigne.
"The new album I have worked so hard to make is very good, Uncle. Here it is for you. Listen to it if you have anything to do. I'm sure you'll be in a good mood!"
Below is Avril Lavigne's signature, and she also playfully drew a smiling face.
Chang Sheng smiled and took the CD out of the box and inserted it into the stereo.
After the prelude, Avril Lavigne's singing sounded.
Chang Sheng immediately felt very familiar.
In fact, Chang Sheng has already heard many songs in this album. Because when Avril Lavigne lived in his house, she sang to him every day when she had nothing to do. Sing the song she wrote, and then ask Chang Sheng if it sounds good.
At that time, Chang Sheng’s regular program after training every day was to busy himself in the kitchen cooking dinner for two people, and then Avril Lavigne helped. while singing. He may be the first person in the world to hear this new album.
When Avril Lavigne's singing sounded again, Chang Sheng didn't sit on a chair to enjoy the music. Instead, he let the music play through the stereo, walked into the kitchen, and started cooking dinner for himself.
Listening to Avril Lavigne's singing, he carefully cut the chicken he bought.
The first song ends, and after a brief intermission, the guitar-playing intro begins again.
Avril Lavigne's voice then sounded.
"Life is what it is, that's what it is...Calm your voice, relax and let the past be the past. If you let it be, you'll find, I like you for who you are..."
When he heard Avril Lavigne's song titled "ated" reverberating in the room, Chang Sheng suddenly had an illusion, and he turned his head when he was digging his head into the meat.
Of course, as expected, there was nothing at the door of the kitchen, except Avril Lavigne's singing...
Chang Sheng laughed at himself. Yes, how is it possible...
"When you and I talk heart-to-heart, you become, in people's eyes, a different kind of character. You're nervous, you can't hold your own. You try to be cool, but that's stupid to me..."
Chang Sheng couldn't help humming along, he felt that cooking while listening to Avril Lavigne's singing was indeed like what Avril Lavigne said, he would feel better.
In fact, the content of the lyrics is not important at all, what is important is the voice, which is the voice he is familiar with.
Listening to music is like seeing people, and I feel very good.

"Ken, can I make a request about my new album promotion." Avril Lavigne contacted Ken Krongard, the representative of her record company, by phone. "Well, I hope to arrange a promotion in Spain on September 26th... No, not Madrid, I'm not interested in Madrid, I'm going to Valencia! I like Valencia, I like it very, very much Valencia... If the company does not arrange, then I will not go to England and France! No, no, I will go to Valencia. There must be a lot of my fans in Valencia, right? Can we arrange one in Madrid and one in Valencia... Yes, yes, Valencia will be on the 26th and 27th... Okay, thank you Ken, I knew you would be able to do it !"
