Chapter 151 Cheers, friends(1/2)
In fact, in the Wimbledon Athletics farewell competition, it does not mean that Chu Zhongtian will say goodbye to Wimbledon completely. At least before Emily graduated, he would go to Wimbledon Art School to "study" every day, work at Wimbledon bars, and then continue practicing by himself.
However, all this is about to end as Emily took photos with her classmates in her degree suit at the graduation ceremony.
Chu Zhongtian had already completed the withdrawal procedures a few days before this day. Charles Philip and Joseph Kenny couldn't bear to leave him, but there was no way. The water flowed to the lower part and people walked to the higher part. Chu Zhongtian wanted to pursue his dream, and others had no right to interfere.
The campus was very lively on the day of the graduation ceremony. Emily was surrounded by her classmates and journalists. After the entertainment media heard that the most promising star in the UK finally graduated from school and could go to Hollywood to develop, they all rushed to witness this "historic moment". In addition to them, Emily's mother followed her in an endless step. In addition, Mr. Carl Johnson also flew from the United States to congratulate Emily.
She had just changed into a bachelor's uniform and put on a long dress. She was surrounded by a real princess, like a real princess. She had to attend a graduation prom for a while.
And these have nothing to do with Chu Zhongtian. Because they were worried that letting the media know that their special relationship with Emily would have an impact on Emily's future, Chu Zhongtian has been standing outside the crowd and looking at Emily from afar.
He and Emily have said goodbye in advance, and there is no need to go up and hug each other again.
In addition, today is also the day when Yang Yang graduated from school. He and Chu Zhongtian studied the same major - printing and digital media. This year, he will return to China after graduating from school. The apartment they used to live in together, I don’t know what kind of people will move in and what kind of stories will the newcomers have.
The graduation ceremony means the complete end of Chu Zhongtian's years at Wimbledon.
After the graduation ceremony, he will pack his luggage and prepare to return to China to visit his parents who have not seen in three years, and also have to prepare to deal with the Chinese media who have arrived after hearing the news.
It will definitely be a busy holiday.
When Emily, who had finished her graduation ceremony, was surrounded by reporters and classmates and left the campus, she looked at Chu Zhongtian where she was and found that Chu Zhongtian was looking at him.
In order to prevent those paparazzi from smelling anything, she suppressed the smile on her face and had no special expression. She just looked at Chu Zhongtian and turned her head and walked away.
Chu Zhongtian sighed softly. This was the last time he and Emily could meet in the UK. After that, he returned to China by himself and Emily went to the United States. After he came back from China, he didn't know where he was going.
When will we meet again be in the year and month?
Yang Yang came up and stood beside him, looking at the direction Emily was heading away.
He felt regretful for Chu Zhongtian and Emily in his heart, but what can he do? The two of them seemed destined to have a future. One would be a movie star. If nothing unexpected happens, he would even become a world-renowned movie star. The other was still an unknown person, and he didn't know what the future could reach.
From Europe to the United States.
The gap is not ordinary.
"When will you return to China, Great Chu?" He asked in order to distract Chu Zhongtian.
"Let's leave in two days, it's okay to stay here anyway. Where are you, Lao Yang?" Chu Zhongtian withdrew his gaze and looked at Yang Yang and said.
"I, let's go with you, everything that should be handled here has been handled."
"I was surprised that you didn't choose to stay in the UK, but returned to China, Lao Yang."
"Do you think your parents are the only ones who can't bear to leave you?" Yang Yang replied.
Chu Zhongtian laughed.
If I play football in Europe, I will have little time to go back to China in the future. Chu Zhongtian is already thinking about it. When he gains his foothold in European football, he will bring his parents to him. After working hard for most of his life, his son can make a lot of money, so why should he work? He should enjoy a happy life.
Yang Yang looked back at the bustling school lawn and sighed: "Four years, I finally graduated..."
Like Chu Zhongtian, Yang Yang's major, he has three-year school schedule, but he still has one year of preparatory course, so he actually stayed in the UK for four years.
"Do you have any thoughts, Lao Yang?"
Yang Yang replied: "What impressed me most in the past four years is the last two years. Hehe. I'm a little reluctant to part with you, Da Chu. We won't be able to meet again in the future, right?"
"Leave your contact information, I will go to you when I return home."
"Let me talk about it when my work stabilizes. I don't know where I will be. Maybe it's Chengdu, maybe I will go to Beijing, Shanghai..."
"Old Yang, what would you do?"
"It's about the media..."
"Then we still have a chance to meet...ha."
"As long as you want to meet, there will be a chance." Yang Yang nodded. "Don't pretend you don't know me then?"
"Where can I do it? If you can come to see me, I can't ask for it." Chu Zhongtian forgot his original name for fear that others would say that he was famous, so he explained anxiously.
"I'm kidding." Yang Yang patted his shoulder. "Will you not attend the graduation prom in a while?"
"I haven't graduated from here again." Chu Zhongtian shrugged. "I'll have to go to Chelsea club later."
"Is there anything?"
"I'm going back home soon, leave me my contact information for them. You know, they have always wanted to rent me out. If there is a suitable club, they can inform me."
Yang Yang nodded. "I don't know if I can see you on Chinese TV then."
"I think it's a bit overwhelming. Only the five major leagues are broadcast in China, right? I think I shouldn't be able to go to the five major leagues..."
"Then I can only hope that you will successfully return to Chelsea in a few years."
"Hehe, I'll accept your good words." Chu Zhongtian clasped his fists and arched at Yang Yang.
※※※ Chu Zhongtian said goodbye to Yang Yang, left Wimbledon Art School, and then went to Stamford Bridge alone. There, Coach Steve Clark was already waiting for him.
Chu Zhongtian gave him the phone number at home. If the club has something to ask him for, just make this call.
"The club is going to have a holiday and will not start working again in July. You know the team will be very busy this summer..." Clark said to Chu Zhongtian.
Ranieli has been dismissed. Chelsea lost to French Ligue 1 team Monaco in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Ranieli was not in good command in the second leg and had problems with the arrangement. It seemed that he had completely lost control of the locker room. After this game, the media generally believed that Ranieli's four years at Chelsea had come to an end, and as expected. As soon as the season ended, Chelsea club announced the termination of Ranieli's contract with the club and thanked him for his contributions in the past few seasons.
Although Ranieri scored second in the league, he still failed to retain his coach position.
But the outside world did not know what prompted Abramovich to decide to replace Ranieri, not the Champions League semi-finals, but the FA Cup match against an amateur team.
"So your matter may not be considered at the forefront. You have to be patient. In short, we won't let you have no ball to play next season."
Ranieri was the one who wanted to introduce Chu Zhongtian at the time. Now that he has left, it is hard to say what Chu Zhongtian's fate will be in this club. Even Coach Clark was hesitant in his words. Too many players have turned their fate because of changing coaches. He is just an ordinary small character. If Chelsea suddenly lacks interest in him, he has no choice. Now he has boarded the ship, and the ship has left the port, and it is impossible to get off the ship.
Chu Zhongtian does not have a labor certificate, so he cannot even participate in the reserve league, so if he stays at Chelsea club, he can only train and cannot play.
To be honest, after learning that Ranieri was dismissed, Chu Zhongtian was a little worried, and this was the situation that he was worried about - the club no longer interested in him, or had to re-evaluate his potential, and then he was no longer keen on cultivating him. So what should I do? There is no ball to play at Chelsea and can only receive training, which is obviously not the career he wants.
Clark's words were considered a reassurance for him, although the validity period was not long.
"Anyway, there will be no news at the moment. You can take a vacation with peace of mind, Chu. But I want to remind you that you should not forget to exercise physically during vacation. If possible, don't lose any ball training. Your foundation is relatively weak, and you must seize every time to train yourself."
Chu Zhongtian nodded: "I understand, Mr. Clark."
"So, let's see you again in July, Chu. I hope you won't be fatter than you are now."
“I will pay attention to my diet.”
Refried pork, braised pork, green pepper shredded pork, rock sugar elbow, Dongpo pork, lion head... These dishes flashed through his mind, it seemed that there was no good fortune this summer vacation...※※ This day was Chu Zhongtian's last time working in a Wimbledon bar. Tomorrow he will return to China with Yang Yang. When he comes back, he will not come here to work again. He will stay in the hotel temporarily and see how the Chelsea Club arranges him. Or he will wait for the Chelsea Club's call at home, and only return to London after they have confirmed it.
When Chu Zhongtian came to the bar, he saw Boss John posting a job advertisement on the exterior wall.
"You're leaving, I might have to recruit two people." He turned around and said to Chu Zhongtian, "You are so capable, Chu. I really don't know if I can find a bartender as good as you."
He said something sad.
It's always like this when you part.
"If I come back in the future, I will definitely feel uncomfortable if I see a strange bartender standing in front of me. Maybe it will take a long time to get used to it?" Old Bente came over and looked at the job advertisement and said.
"But life must continue. I still wish Chu a good development in other places." Jackson said.
Everyone gathered to express their opinions.
Chu Zhongtian became a supporting role instead.
He stood outside the crowd and heard Xu Xiaodi's voice coming from behind: "It's so lively here, hi, Xiao Chu."
Chu Zhongtian looked back at Xu Xiaodi carrying a big bag and a small bag: "You are leaving now, Mr. Xu?"
"Well, I'll leave a day earlier than you. I have to go back to Changsha headquarters to report my work first." Xu Xiaodi nodded.
It was not news for Xu Xiaodi that Chu Zhongtian was going to return to China, because he also wanted to follow Chu back to China. In fact, he sent the news that Chu Zhongtian was going to return to China first.
People in China are already impatient about this. Some fans from Chengdu, Sichuan even contacted everywhere online and wanted to form a group to welcome Chu Zhongtian home.
Before others go back, they are already enjoying star-level treatment.
"I'll come here to say goodbye to you first. My afternoon flight."
"Then I wish you peace all the way, Mr. Xu."
Xu Xiaodi put down the bag in his hand, "Actually, I don't think you can take any fake things when you go back, Xiao Chu."
"I know." Chu Zhongtian shrugged, "But I think there will always be some time for me."
"Chelsea has changed coaches. Will it have any impact on you?"
Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "I don't know, just take one step at a time."
Xu Xiaodi sighed.
"Oh by the way, Xiao Chu. I have to remind you some things."
"Um?"
"You have not encountered many Chinese media in the UK. When you go back, there may be various media to interview you, some of which are not even professional sports media. You should be careful when answering their questions, don't fall into their carefully designed traps, speak slowly, think carefully before speaking out, so as not to be used by some people."
"So exaggerated?" Chu Zhongtian said in surprise.
"Don't think I'm blaming you. In addition, you will encounter many troubles. Anyway, you must be mentally prepared and don't mess up your mood because of those things."
Chu Zhongtian was still a little confident in his psychological adjustment ability. He thought about it and did not feel that there was anything that could bother him, unless it was something from within the family, but the obstacles at home had been eliminated.
To be continued...
