Chapter 117 Farewell
"Huh...! Uncle Huang, do you know Li Tian too?" Seeing the boss's eyes flashing with golden light and an excited expression, Song Yali, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Know, of course, I know it very well. Haha..." Uncle Huang held Li Tian's hand for a long time but still didn't rely on relaxing. At this time, Li Tian also felt that the middle-aged uncle looked at him as if he was staring at a lot of money, so enchanting and intoxicating.
"Uh... I don't seem to know you, this uncle!" Seeing the boss's "passionate" look, Li Tian was a little at a loss.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know it, it doesn't matter if you don't know it! You must be Li Tian from Cologne Sports Academy! I don't think I will admit it wrong. My name is Huang Shulin, the owner of this small shop, and you are also your loyal FANS. You have a big face for our Chinese in Germany at the last German competition. It's really exciting to see you here in person. Today, I will give you a 50% discount on all your consumption in my small shop." Uncle Huang said excitedly very readily.
"Uncle Huang, we are going to lose money for 50% off!" Hearing the boss's "graceful" decision, Song Yali next to her couldn't help but scream.
"Ah! Is that true? That's absolutely impossible. The boss thanks you for your kindness to me, but how much should you give me? You are also a small business, how can you sell things to me at a loss?" Li Tian did not want to use his popularity to gain advantage from his compatriots.
"No, no, don't worry, you will never lose money. As long as you wait a while and agree to take a photo with me at the door of the store, and leave me a signature, then you will be considered as making up for this half of the price!" Boss Huang couldn't help but said anxiously.
"How can this work? Take a group photo and signing are just a small problem, you can do it casually. The price should be as follows!" Li Tian still insisted on his opinion.
"We don't have to argue anymore. 30% off. This price is my purchase price. I can't ask for your photos and signatures for nothing. If you still refuse, you really look down on small shops like us." After Boss Huang's persuasion, Li Tian reluctantly agreed to the price. Both items are made of relatively expensive materials, so the price is not cheap. After 30% off, Li Tian still spent nearly 5,000 euros. However, compared to what he learned from the two coaches over the past three months, this amount of money is obviously nothing at all. After all, this opportunity itself is hard to come by. If you really need to use money to measure it, it is obviously an insult to the two coaches.
Song Yali stood by and watched Uncle Huang pack the gift for Li Tian, and was busy finding an autograph book and a camera to take a photo with Li Tian at the door of the store. The excitement was very puzzled. How could a person who usually cares about the price behave abnormally today and take the initiative to lower the price for the guests? It would be impossible for the guests not to accept it, and they kept serving tea and water to others. The hospitality was so attentive, which was obviously beyond her understanding.
"Uncle Huang, Miss Song, I'm still in a hurry today. I'll come here to visit you next time when I have time. We are all Chinese in a foreign country and should care for each other. This is my phone number. If you have anything, you can call me directly!" After buying things and taking photos, nearly half an hour passed. Although I was very happy to meet my compatriots locally for the first time, Li Tian still offered to say goodbye and handed a note with his mobile phone number to Boss Huang.
"I know you are a busy person, so I will keep you soon. But if you have time in the future, come here for more trips. At that time, I will definitely ask the old lady at home to make authentic Chinese food for you." Boss Huang not only took multiple photos with Li Tian, but also got a super large signature from Li Tian, and was already satisfied.
"I hope everyone can become good friends. This is my phone number. Please contact me more in the future!" Facing Song Yali's right hand stretched out again, Li Tian calmly grabbed his farewell and walked out of the small shop.
"I really made a profit this time. I actually got so many treasures!" Looking at Li Tian's back as he left, Boss Huang was extremely holding the camera he had taken with Li Tian and the autograph book left by Li Tian.
"Uncle Huang, why did you make a profit? It would be good if you don't lose 30% off. Are your things fake?" Song Yali asked in surprise. She didn't want the friend she just made to be deceived because she believed in her.
"Fake? How is this possible? Even if Uncle Huang is stumbling, he will not use fakes to fool his own people." Uncle Huang said with an unhappy look on his face.
"Then why do you say you made money? What did you make money? Could it be these photos and a signature book? These things are worth 2,000 euros?" Song Yali asked without giving in.
"It's worth it, of course." Boss Huang looked affirmative and then asked, "Yali, I don't seem to see you know much about Li Tian!"
"I just met him today, so of course I don't know him!" Song Yali replied as expected.
"Have you never heard of the name Li Tian before? Didn't you talk to friends in newspapers or in conversations with friends?" It was Boss Huang's turn to be surprised. You should know that Li Tian is now quite well-known in the German university community, especially in the local universities in Cologne. In the past few months, it was because of Li Tian's blessing that has caused a Chinese craze in the city of Cologne, so his small Chinese specialty commodity store's business is much better than before.
"I haven't been in Germany for a long time, my German level is still poor, and I don't communicate much with my classmates. Although I usually stay in the library, I rarely pay attention to the newspapers. He... is he really so famous?" Looking at Uncle Huang's surprised expression, I really felt that he had done something wrong. Song Yali couldn't help but whisper weakly.
"Of course, he can be regarded as the number one Chinese star in Germany. It seems that I have to make up for you! He is..." So Boss Huang gave a long speech incessantly.
"Now you know why I say these two treasures are worth it! As long as you enlarge this set of photos tomorrow, hang them on several walls, and then display this signature. Hehe! This is simply a free advertisement! With Li Tian's reputation in the local area, it will definitely attract a large number of his admirers to visit. At that time, we will make more than just these two thousand euros. You have been here for a long time. When did you see your Uncle Huang and I have done a loss-making business?" As long as you can get a good relationship with Li Tian, there will definitely be many benefits. Huang Shulin couldn't help but feel proud of his decision.
"What a traitor!" After hearing Huang Shulin's explanation, Song Yali didn't know what to say, but she had to admire the boss's way of making money. However, she was more curious about the shy boy she just met today.
At three o'clock that afternoon, Li Tian and Ronnie drove their car to the apartment where Coach Hart temporarily lived on time. Since Professor Bud was going to preside over an important test in the laboratory in the afternoon, he could not get out and see off his old friends. So he specially appointed Li Tian and Ronnie as his representatives to take the old friends to the airport.
"Coach, have you brought all the things? After leaving this time, I don't know how long it will take for you to come back here again!" Li Tian personally put his luggage in the trunk of the car for the two teachers. At this time, the members of the "Four-man Group" also drove their cars. Although they heard and witnessed Li Tian's tragic "hell journey" in the past few months, they were full of fear of the coaching of the two coaches, but some practical tricks in the training that the two coaches gave during this period really benefited them a lot. Therefore, the four gave up the training this afternoon and made a special trip to see the two coaches off. A group of five cars rushed straight to Cologne Airport.
Maybe I knew in advance that everyone gathered again at the Beijing World Youth Track and Field Championships more than ten days later. This time I saw Li Tian off, I didn’t feel any sad at all. Instead, I said goodbye to the coaches.
"Coach, this is a gift I gave to you before leaving. As a little bit of my student's wish, I hope you can like it and accept it." Li Tian took out the two packaged gifts from his sports bag.
"Oh! And the gifts, it seems that I haven't felt bad for you in the past three months! No one of the bastards I have coached before has ever been as sensible as you." Coach Karon happily patted Li Tian's shoulder and praised. But when he took the gift, he stopped doing it, because his gift packaging box was only as big as two matchboxes, while Coach Hart's was more than ten times larger than his.
"Okay, Li Tian, I just felt a little more painful than Hart during training, and you were actually biased towards him. Our treatment was so different!" Although Coach Karon was nagging dissatisfied, he started faster than anyone else. He opened the packaging box in a few seconds, took out the emerald green cigarette mouth, put it in his palm and enjoyed it carefully, and immediately put it in his mouth with a smile, and never took it off again. Coach Hart was obviously quite satisfied with the chessboard given to him by Li Tian.
The last happy time passed quickly. At about 5 pm, the boarding time came. When Li Tian and others waved their hands to watch the figures of the two coaches disappear at the end of the boarding passage, they couldn't help but sigh.
Chapter completed!
