Chapter 279 Wind Horse


Chapter 279 Wind Horse

Xu Chen got up early.

In fact, I woke up as soon as dawn, which showed that I still couldn't suppress my excitement and nervousness.

The various news he heard and saw in the past two days made Xu Chen's originally calm and determined mood become anxious and excited.

It's not that I don't have confidence in Brother Bing, it's just that today's game has become extremely important due to various opportunities and coincidences.

A 100-meter hurdles race lasts only ten seconds.

But in just ten seconds, it caused such a big topic and attention.

And these ten seconds may also determine many things in the future.

……

Xu Chen still pretended to be calm and had a buffet breakfast in the hotel with a leisurely expression.

This "Asaka Hotel" is right next to Nagai Stadium. If you don't close the windows during the day, you can even hear the cheers and excitement coming from the stadium.

It seemed that the air surrounding the stadium for miles around was filled with anxiety.

Xu Chen ate a bowl of udon noodles and some fried shrimp tempura.

This is not a particularly good star hotel, but the breakfast is pretty good...

After entering the food, I felt calm for a while. The TV next to me was turned on by the staff, but the news broadcast of the "East Asian Youth Games" started playing again.

Xu Chen was helpless and finished eating the udon noodles, then got up and went downstairs.

……

In autumn under a maritime climate, there are huge and thick pure white clouds in the blue sky.

Xu Chen wore a quick-drying sportswear and walked towards Changju Stadium.

Osaka is the second largest city in Japan, prosperous and modern.

The vehicles driving on the road are all from Toyota, Honda, and Nissan, as well as many K-Car small cars that are unique to the Japanese market.

The occasional "luxury car" is a few Lexus. As for the BMW and Mercedes-Benz, Xu Chen didn't see one during his entire journey.

As expected, they are a somewhat repressed nation with obsessive-compulsive disorder. All the cars seen on the street are almost spotless, and the paint is so bright that it almost reflects light.

……

Arriving at Changju Stadium, Xu Chen followed coach Cheng Hong's "instructions" and went directly to the east gate.

As I walked around the stadium, I saw many local people walking inside holding cheering flags.

They all seem to be silent and introverted, with solemn expressions and say nothing.

This still made Xu Chen a little uncomfortable.

Audiences at various domestic sports games can still see the excitement and joy of having fun when entering the venue, while Japanese audiences, at least outside, look "silent and depressing".

When we arrived near the east gate of the stadium, we saw the "connector" from a distance.

Xu Chen smiled and walked over quickly:

"Hello, Director Liu, I am Xu Chen."

In front of him was a young girl named Liu Shengnan, who was also the assistant coach of the national team.

It was not convenient for coach Cheng Hong to come out at this moment, so she arranged for Liu Shengnan to come over.

Team leaders, assistant coaches, etc. like Cheng Hong and Liu Shengnan are usually athletes.

After retiring, he stayed on the team as an assistant coach. You can still see the athlete's foundation from his body shape.

Liu Shengnan greeted Xu Chen with a smile and handed over three tickets.

She turned around and pointed:

"Wait and go through the security check directly through this door. It will be faster to get to your seat after entering."

Xu Chen said: "Thank you very much for your guidance Liu!"

Liu Shengnan smiled politely, then turned around and left.

……

Xu Chen looked at the time and saw that there was still plenty of time.

He still wants to wait for Wu Feifei and Nie Fei here.

Wu Feifei originally bought the tickets and bleacher seats herself, but the tickets she bought temporarily from public channels were in very remote locations.

Xu Chen stopped by and asked for a new ticket for her. Like Xu Chen and Nie Fei, they were all good seats reserved by coach Cheng Hong.

……

After a while, Wu Feifei was seen walking over from a distance.

She wore a red baseball cap to block the dazzling sunlight.

Xu Chen smiled and handed over a ticket, and Wu Feifei took it generously:

"Thank you!"

Xu Chen: "You can go in first, I have to wait for someone."

Wu Feifei: "Let me go with you...Who are you waiting for?"

Xu Chen: "I am a client of Party A. I have brought you here to talk about Brother Bing's business cooperation."

Wu Feifei sighed softly, showing a hint of discouragement:

"My dad criticized me and everything he said was right...

I am the same eighteen years old as you, and you have already run a company, done many projects, and made a lot of money. ”

Xu Chen:

"This can't be compared. Your dad is a big leader and you are a girl. You don't need to go through this trouble like me!"

Wu Feifei sighed again:

"Brother Bing is also a girl and is already a national champion..."

……

Wu Feifei looked not far away and suddenly said:

"That's a reporter from CCTV!"

Xu Chen turned around and saw that the three-person interview team was walking quickly inside.

They all have press badges hanging on their chests. The young girl in the front should be a reporter, and the two men in the back are carrying two large bags, which should be camera and recording equipment, etc...

The two big black bags have the eye-catching "CCTV" logo printed on them.

Wu Feifei said:

"I saw online discussions yesterday. CCTV originally did not arrange for reporters to come to this game.

Seeing that the topic and attention became more and more noisy in a day or two, I guess I arranged for someone to come over..."

A large group of spectators dressed in red walked over from a distance.

Their formation is quite eye-catching and looks extremely eye-catching.

Xu Chen smiled: "Those are the fans who came to Osaka from Saitama Prefecture!"

Wu Feifei: "It's a good thing. Someone is cheering for Brother Bing."

She raised her head and glanced: "There seems to be a drum behind it!"

Xu Chen took a look and saw two uncles behind him, carrying a huge red drum.

"The support of the fans is really strong."

……

Wait a moment.

Xu Chen's phone vibrated, he picked it up and looked at it:

"You wait here for me, I'll pick up the next person."

Wu Feifei: "I'll just stay with you."

With that said, he followed.

The two walked towards each other and saw Nie Fei again.

Today, "Sister Fei" did not wear a smart but restrained business suit and high heels, but a light gray casual outfit with light-colored sneakers on her feet.

"Sister Fei!" Xu Chen was still very polite. After all, Nie Fei was "the father of Party A's sponsor."

Nie Fei's smile was appropriate and precise, and she reached out to shake Xu Chen's hand:

"I've been waiting for a long time. There was a traffic jam on the road for a while."

Xu Chen smiled, and first introduced Wu Feifei beside him, saying that he was a classmate and friend who came to watch Xie Bingran compete together.

As the "big daughter", Wu Feifei is still generous and free in this kind of occasion. She shakes hands and gets to know Nie Fei, who has a strong aura, naturally and casually, without showing any timidity.

"Let's go in!"

Xu Chen said, then led the two of them towards the security check at the entrance.

While waiting in line, Xu Chen said to Nie Fei:

"At the General Administration of Sports, there are two leaders in charge of business resources today. One is named Li Yue, whom I know, and the other is Director Li's superior, whom I have not met yet.

I've already said hello, let's watch the game first.

After the game we go to a lounge and meet and chat with the two leaders. ”

Nie Fei nodded and said again:

"Is there any chance to invite the leader to dinner at noon?"

Xu Chen: "I have already asked. The leader has other receptions at noon. We may have to wait until we return to China to arrange them."

Nie Fei nodded: "Okay, let's establish contact with this place today and get to know each other."

She looked at Xu Chen again: "Do you have a chance to have dinner with Teacher Xu Chen at noon?"

Xu Chen smiled and said: "Then I will bring two more people."

Nie Fei: "No problem."

Xu Chen smiled: "In addition to Wu Feifei, there is also Xie Bingran..."

Nie Fei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's such an honor!"

An honor, of course, means being able to have dinner with Xie Bingran.

Xu Chen has already confirmed Xie Bingran's itinerary with coach Cheng Hong.

When Xu Chen wanted to take Xie Bingran and Nie Fei to dinner, he also wanted them to get to know each other first, so as to lay some groundwork for the "Burning Ice Sports" later.

……

There was some noise coming from the security line in front.

Wu Feifei tilted her body and looked at it, and whispered:

"Ah...the big drums of those fans seem to have been stopped."

Xu Chen took a look and found that it was indeed the case.

In addition to the big drum being stopped, it seems that some trumpets, whistles, etc. were also stopped by the security staff.

The fans were still communicating politely, but it seemed that the Japanese uncle in charge of security had no intention of giving in.

Wu Feifei whispered: "What a pity."

Seeing that the "equipment" of those fans was stopped, they all passed the security check empty-handed.

Xu Chen: "It doesn't matter, as long as I'm here!"

Wu Feifei nodded: "It's enough for Brother Bing to see that there are dozens of people who came to Osaka to cheer her on!"

Nie Fei said: "I saw the news about fans this morning, and it turns out it's true!"

……

……

Stadiums all over the world basically have uniform specifications and appearance.

The three of them entered from the entrance on the second floor and walked through the passage to the grandstand area.

Looking up, it suddenly becomes clear.

On the loudspeaker, the male host was broadcasting in Japanese.

Wu Feifei listened for a while and explained: "The shot put competition just ended and the awards are being held...

The champion is Mongolia, and the runner-up is ours..."

Nie Fei was a little surprised: "So you know Japanese."

Xu Chen: "She is from Shanghai Foreign Language, a serious Japanese major."

Wu Feifei smiled: "I am just a freshman, and I have some basic skills...

In addition, getting started with Japanese is actually relatively simple, and I heard that it is actually easy to get started. ”

……

The audience at the scene was not "full of holes", but they still filled the three or four square meters of the stands.

Especially in the two areas on one side, a large number of Japanese spectators were concentrated. At first glance, there were hundreds or even thousands of people.

They were all wearing light white shirts and waving Japanese flags.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Obviously, they are all here to cheer for the seven Japanese players.

In other areas of the stands, there were a few people sitting here and there, probably scattered spectators.

Xu Chen and the other three found their seats. This was an area in the stands on the second floor with a very good view, facing the track below.

I looked back and saw that there were two or three rows of spectators behind me, all of whom looked like native Japanese.

Parents with their children, or with classmates and friends...

They do not have uniform attire and are obviously unorganized "individuals".

The three of them were sitting in the front row, and Wu Feifei pointed to the stands opposite:

"Those fans are so far apart!"

I saw dozens of fans in the stands diagonally opposite, all wearing red clothes and standing together waving national flags.

They are indeed half a sports field away from the track here.

I guess I bought the tickets temporarily and had to accommodate the unified grandstand area, so I couldn't buy a seat close to it.

But from a distance, the red "little ocean" is already very impressive.

Of course, compared with the three or four Japanese local audiences, they are still much "weaker"...

After all, this is their home court, and to have this group of fans come is already a huge force.

……

A burst of loud and majestic music suddenly came from the loudspeaker.

Then came the voice of the host, announcing in Japanese.

Wu Feifei listened attentively and roughly translated for Xu Chen and Nie Fei:

"The women's 100-meter hurdles competition is being introduced and said it will start soon..."

A burst of cheers immediately came from the stands.

Xu Chen turned around and looked at the white-clad Japanese audience not far away.

They all stood up and waved their flags.

It seems that these people are indeed here specifically for this "seven-on-one" women's 100-meter hurdles event.

On the large Led screen above the stands opposite, the screen changed and showed the introduction of some players.

Then, there was even louder cheering and clamoring.

Wu Feifei said: "We are introducing some players from Japan..."

"We are introducing Kaoru Akabane, who defeated the famous senior Japanese generals and defeated the famous Indian generals some time ago...

Former Asian University Games champion..."

The bursts of applause and applause also confirmed the popularity of Akabane Kaoru.

Xu Chen glanced at the promotional video on the big screen. Kaoru Akabane was also a pretty girl, with a typical Showa beauty appearance.

Sure enough, no matter where you go, the world still depends on your face...

……

Sure enough.

In the on-site Japanese host's broadcast introduction, there was no special introduction session for Xie Bingran.

Sure enough, the "host" still has its own convenient and exclusive operations.

After the seven Japanese players were introduced one by one, the names and track information of the eight finalists were directly displayed on the big screen.

The only "foreign" contestant, Xie Bingran, was not even mentioned in the Japanese host's oral broadcast.

It seems that today's game is a competition within Japan.

"It's too much..."

Wu Feifei whispered, obviously a little angry.

In the stands opposite, the group of fans who came to support Xie Bingran also clearly heard a burst of restlessness.

……

Immediately afterwards, there was a sudden loud noise from the Japanese spectator stands not far away.

The Japanese audience, all dressed in white uniforms, stood up and cheered.

Xu Chen looked down and found that several Japanese players had entered the arena...

The leader was none other than "Kaoru Akabane," and the one who wanted to stand with her was another popular player, Sankichi Tada.

Seven Japanese players entered the field, running to warm up and waving to the stands.

They all wore light white vests. No wonder the Japanese audience today also wore light white cheering T-shirts.

……

Suddenly, there was an inexplicable burst of "boos" from the stands next to him.

This burst of boos was obviously hostile to "booing".

At the same time, several athletes wearing red entered the field.

It was Xie Bingran who was walking at the front.

Bai Miao, Dong Jiajia and two other girls gathered around Xie Bingran...

Xie Bingran was still wearing a long-sleeved sportswear on her upper body and started running to warm up as soon as she entered the court. Bai Miao and others surrounded her and ran together.

At this moment, the two white-clad Japanese spectators in the stands were booing...

Wu Feifei's complexion became extremely bad:

"Too much!"

Nie Fei remained silent, but frowned, obviously very dissatisfied.

Xu Chen said nothing and looked down at Xie Bingran, who was running silently.

Brother Bing's position at the starting line is still far away from here, but he can be recognized at a glance from his body shape and running posture.

Nie Fei looked sideways, maybe she couldn't recognize it.

Wu Feifei pointed out: "The one at the front, with short hair and the tallest figure, is Brother Bing..."

As Xie Bingran and others were running along the track, bursts of boos were heard in the stands.

Wu Feifei and Nie Fei looked at each other, both girls feeling a little complicated.

They all couldn't help but worry whether these ill-intentioned boos would affect Brother Bing's game state.

They all turned to look at Xu Chen again.

Xu Chen looked cold and speechless, but he was obviously in a bad mood.

……

At the same time, shots of several athletes were being cycled on the huge LED screen above the stands.

That was the photography area, where live footage from several cameras was relayed.

Kaoru Akabane, Sankichi Tada and others appeared on the screen, which attracted bursts of cheers.

They also waved to the stands...

And when the scene finally cut to Xie Bingran, the Japanese audience in the stands once again made sounds full of hostility and contempt...

Xu Chen remained silent, but his expression became extremely ugly.

He looked up at the big screen.

Xie Bingran ran slowly, her short hair on her forehead gently dancing rhythmically.

She lowered her head slightly, looking at the runway with delicate eyebrows, cold and firm.

Seeing those eyes and that look, Xu Chen leaned back on the chair and relaxed.

……

……

Suddenly, rhythmic shouting echoed in the venue.

Looking up, I saw waves rising from the red "little ocean" diagonally across the stands.

Those are the fans who traveled a thousand miles from Saitama to Osaka to cheer for Xie Bingran.

They had just experienced the disastrous defeat of the domestic team in Japan, and they were already suffocating in their hearts.

They looked towards the track in the field, applauded in unison, and shouted "Xie Bingran"...

This was a name they had probably never heard or understood before the day before yesterday.

……

a certain moment.

An uncle in the red sea stood up and said loudly behind him:

“Brothers, what the hell is today?!

What the hell are we here for today? !

They can't contain our drums, but they can't contain our roars!

Bring out the formation...

Put on the bayonet! ! ”

……

The next moment.

A loud, neat, angry and wild singing voice emerged from the small red sea and echoed in the stadium:

"The wind is roaring and the horses are barking.

The Yellow River is roaring!

The Yellow River is roaring!

……

In the midst of thousands of mountains.

There are so many anti-Japanese heroes!

……

Defend your hometown!

Defend the Yellow River!

…”

Nie Fei and Wu Feifei were stunned for a moment.

But he was inexplicably excited.

Xu Chen smiled and whispered:

"Still...the fans in our big country are so cruel!"
