Chapter 158 Because you have become stronger
Maybe he was too tired the first day, but it was already past nine o'clock when Xu Chen woke up.
He went to the reception room and knocked on the door, but found no movement.
He opened a crack in the door and looked around, but didn't see Xie Bingran.
Pushing the door open, the thin blanket was folded in a square shape and placed on the sofa.
There is also a packed breakfast on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
Xu Chen took out his phone and took a look. Sure enough, there was an unread message:
"I'm going to school to go through the graduation procedures first."
……
……
Xu Chen wandered to the gate of No. 1 Middle School, carrying a fruit basket in his hand.
The flower bed at the school gate was surrounded by twenty or thirty people, hugging each other's backs, laughing and joking, and lighting up cigarettes.
Xie Bingran was wearing an orange-red sportswear and was very eye-catching sitting on the edge of the flower bed.
Seeing Xu Chen approaching, the brothers quickly turned around and called "Brother Chen" with a smile.
Xie Bingran came back in a hurry this time. He didn't tell these brothers at first, but they still found him.
After graduating from high school, they all went their separate ways...
"Brother Bing, let's take a photo with the brothers. I won't be able to see you often in the future."
A group of brothers started making noises.
Xu Chen said: "Let me take pictures for you!"
……
A group of people stood at the gate of No. 1 Middle School with arms around each other, each holding a cigarette in his mouth, standing casually and arrogantly.
Xie Bingran looked a little out of place in her orange-red sportswear.
Above everyone's heads is the gate of No. 1 Middle School, with the two big banners hanging on the gate.
Xu Chen held up his mobile phone:
"Brother Bing, smile!"
Amid a burst of laughter, Xu Chen pressed the shutter.
……
The brothers said goodbye to Brother Bing and Brother Chen, then turned around and dispersed together, laughing and joking.
Xu Chen said: "Have the procedures been completed?"
Xie Bingran pulled off the backpack behind him, pulled out a thick notebook, and handed it to Xu Chen.
Xu Chen took it and took a look. It was a high school diploma.
"Congratulations to Brother Bing, I haven't gotten mine yet. I have to wait until I get my transcripts and apply for a volunteer..."
Xie Bingran: “I still have to thank you, otherwise I wouldn’t even be able to get this diploma, let alone go to college.”
Xu Chen: "I'm serious, just with your two long legs, you won't be buried without me."
Xie Bingran pursed her lips and smiled, then put away her diploma.
"What are you doing carrying a fruit basket?"
Xu Chen: "Old Principal Huang Hua, he helped you privately in getting you into the provincial team and the national team."
Xie Bingran: "Oh... Teacher Chen Ming told me."
Xu Chen: “I heard that several coaches of the national team are still his students.
This is also considered an important connection. After you finally come back, you still have to pay a visit. ”
Xie Bingran: "Oh."
Xu Chen: "I have contacted Teacher Chen Ming in advance. Principal Huang now lives in the staff apartment behind the school.
Teacher Chen Ming will come over later and will take you there. ”
He put the fruit basket into Xie Bingran's hand and took out two cigarettes from the backpack behind him.
"This is for Teacher Chen Ming. He has also helped a lot."
"Oh."
……
A few minutes later, Teacher Chen Ming came out of the school.
They were also very enthusiastic when they saw Xie Bingran and Xu Chen.
Xie Bingran probably had never given any gifts before, and her movements seemed jerky.
Teacher Chen Ming didn't know why. Xu Chen looked at him before he understood and laughed.
Brother Bing went to visit Principal Huang. Xu Chen originally didn't want to go with him, but after seeing Xie Bingran's pitiful and helpless look, he went with him anyway.
When the old principal saw Xie Bingran, he naturally liked him very much.
Although Xie Bingran would not say anything nice, the old principal was still very happy. There are indeed many "figures" in the sports world among his students, but in recent years, fewer and fewer of them have taken the initiative to come back to see him.
What's more, Xie Bingran didn't actually teach anything, but it was rare for Tiancheng and No. 1 Middle School to produce top talents, so the old principal really cherished talents.
Xie Bingran was naturally grateful to Principal Huang, but due to her personality, she really couldn't express it.
Even though he was dragged over by Xu Chen, he didn't even say a few words of thanks.
Principal Huang asked a lot about training and competitions, as well as some coaches from the national team, etc.
Only then did Xie Bingran realize that so-and-so and so-and-so... were both former students of Principal Huang Hua. No wonder they cared a little more about themselves.
……
Principal Huang had a kind smile on his face, so he wanted to leave a few people for lunch.
Teacher Chen Ming was a sensible person. After exchanging glances with Xu Chen, he said that Xie Bingran had to catch a plane, so he declined.
Before leaving, Principal Huang gave Xie Bingran a brand new leather-covered book and wrote a word of encouragement on the title page.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xie Bingran took it with both hands, her expression still a little moved...
After coming out of Principal Huang's house, Xu Chen took Xie Bingran with him to express his sincere gratitude to Teacher Chen Ming.
Chen Ming was laughing and joking, and sent the two of them out of the school gate.
……
They had to shoot a promotional video for the city later, so the two of them went to the cafeteria of the Sports Academy and had a simple meal.
Xu Chen filled a plate full of meat and vegetables and said with a smile:
"That's great! I'm getting Brother Bing's favor again!"
Xie Bingran: “The national team’s canteen is better.”
She paused: "You can eat when you come to see me..."
Xu Chen laughed.
……
During the meal, Director Feng just called Xie Bingran yesterday.
I heard that Xie Bingran was at the Sports Academy, so I sent a car over.
After the two of them finished eating, they walked out of the canteen and saw a black Audi A6 parked at the entrance of the canteen.
Director Feng walked out of the passenger seat and said with a smile:
"I arrived just in time!"
After getting in the car, Director Feng handed a shooting script to Xie Bingran.
"Don't worry too much, there are only a few sentences in total, and there will be a reminder board when the time comes, just read it!"
Xu Chen took a few secret glances, and all they saw were beautiful words such as "Beautiful Heavenly City, Great Future"...
When we arrived at the shooting location, we found out that it was the studio of the city TV station.
As soon as they entered, several staff members clapped when they saw Xie Bingran.
It actually made Xie Bingran a little cautious.
Xu Chen was arranged to rest aside and help himself to various fruit plates and drinks.
Xie Bingran was also served by several people. She briefly combed her hair and makeup, and the director explained the shooting details.
There are indeed only a few lines, but it took a lot of time to go back and forth.
The main reason is that Xie Bingran's always cold and gloomy appearance still makes the director a little confused.
Finally, Director Feng stepped forward and said:
"Director, I think this is actually quite good.
It matches Xie Bingran’s championship status and temperament..."
……
After the filming trip was over, Xie Bingran had to catch a plane.
Director Feng arranged a car to take Xu Chen and Xie Bingran to the starting point of the airport bus.
This bus goes directly from Tiancheng to the provincial capital airport without any stops in between, which is very convenient.
There was still some time left, so Xu Chen sat with Xie Bingran in the waiting hall.
Xie Bingran drank a bottle of mineral water and suddenly said:
"In the past ten years, almost no one has taken the initiative to treat me well except you.
But now, everyone seems to be nice to me..."
Xu Chen smiled:
"That's because you have become stronger.
The world is like this, they are only friendly to the strong. ”
Xie Bingran blinked and turned to look at Xu Chen:
"Then why did you treat me well in the first place?"
Xu Chen didn't say anything, but reached out and stroked Xie Bingran's head.
