The convoy stopped in front of a hotel.
In the early 1990s, there were not so many big hotels in China. This hotel was not big, but its location and environment were really good. It was located in the city center and was as beautiful as a park. From a distance, you could only see some three-story buildings looming among the trees.
The houses nearby are not tall either, most of them are five-story residential compounds.
Cheng Hao knew this place. Before he died in his previous life, the housing prices here were as high as 100,000 yuan per square meter because of the good school district.
"The environment here is pretty good." Cheng Hao said with a smile.
"This hotel is a bit old. It was always used to receive foreign guests." The boxing coach said, but he didn't mention that now because of the new hotel, all foreign guests have been received in the new hotel.
Cheng Hao smiled and started chatting with them.
At this time, he had just been born not long ago in his previous life, so he didn't know the coaches and others in front of him, but he felt very close to them.
The boxing coach said, "Cheng Hao, I asked the hotel to prepare some food. Let's go eat something together!"
"Okay." Cheng Hao agreed with a smile.
There were private rooms in the building at the front of the hotel, and they were seated quickly.
Those coaches felt a little restrained when chatting with Cheng Hao, and were afraid that Cheng Hao and the others would feel uncomfortable, so they hinted to Xu Chengyang to talk to Cheng Hao.
After receiving this hint, Xu Chengyang immediately talked about some things happening abroad.
Cheng Hao lived for almost thirty years in his previous life, and in this life, his mental age was already over forty. In his eyes, Xu Chengyang was just a junior. Although he felt that Xu Chengyang didn't like him very much, he still had a good chat with him.
Then, while we were chatting, the food was served.
When Cheng Hao saw the food, he was stunned.
Cheng Hao was actually looking forward to this meal, he missed the food back home very much!
In recent years, although he has been able to eat relatively authentic Chinese food abroad, the number of times is really rare, so he has been thinking about eating something good when he returns home. What happened? What he was served now was Western food.
He has eaten a lot of steak and other things abroad over the years. As a meat lover, he is not tired of steak, but he certainly doesn't look forward to it.
"We've asked someone to prepare Western food because we're worried that you won't be used to the food here." The boxing coach said. He had asked Xu Chengyang, who had studied abroad, for advice on how to host Cheng Hao. Xu Chengyang suggested that he prepare Western food, but judging from Cheng Hao's expression, he didn't seem to like it very much?
Before Cheng Hao could say anything, Lin Yuxun, feeling sorry for him, spoke up, "We're all Chinese, so we like Chinese food... We haven't touched these yet, so just give them to our bodyguards and ask the hotel to cook a few simple dishes for us."
"Oh! I told you that since you have come from so far away, I should let you try some delicious food from our country. But Xiao Xu said that you might not be used to Chinese food..." said the boxing coach, and immediately asked someone to bring a menu to find some dishes for Cheng Hao and Lin Yu.
As for themselves, they usually don’t have the chance to eat Western food, but now they are willing to try it.
The meal for Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun was sent to their bodyguards. The hotel quickly sent over the menu. Cheng Hao took a look and ordered dry-fried small yellow croaker, dry-fried meatballs, pickled cabbage and pork, roast duck and three vegetables. Many of these dishes were things he had not eaten since he traveled through time.
"I don't drink, so let's get straight to the main course. Do you have dumplings? We can also have some noodles or something, and rice too." Cheng Hao said.
The person who received him prepared wine for him, but he had never drunk alcohol in his life, and at this moment he just wanted to eat.
"We have dumplings here. For noodles, would sauerkraut and shredded pork noodles be ok?" asked the waiter.
"Okay, one for each," said Cheng Hao.
"One portion is a bit too much..." The waiter hesitated.
"It's okay." Cheng Hao said, he has a good appetite!
The coaches also said, "Yes, bring some of each and let us try it." Although Cheng Hao ordered seven dishes, they were all cheap and he didn't drink alcohol, so it was nothing to order some staple food now.
The staple food is very cheap. For Cheng Hao's meal, the total cost of the food was not as high as the bottle of wine on the table.
There was nothing wrong with all this, but it made Xu Chengyang even more unhappy.
He arranged all the meals and everything, but Cheng Hao didn't like any of them...
Xu Chengyang felt ashamed and couldn't help but ask, "Wouldn't it be a waste if we couldn't finish so much?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill on his body. He raised his head and saw Lin Yuxun looking away.
Cheng Hao smiled and said, "I can finish it. I have a big appetite."
The kitchen moved very quickly. Not long after Cheng Hao ordered the dishes, they were served one by one. There was a big bowl full of dumplings and noodles, which were shared among the people at the table.
Cheng Hao directly brought a bowl of noodles in front of him, and then used a small bowl to give a little bit to Lin Yuxun: "Yuxun, try it."
Lin Yuxun didn't have a big appetite, so Cheng Hao gave him very little noodles, but he just ate directly from the bowl.
Cheng Hao ate noodles and vegetables at the same time. He finished the noodles in no time and brought over the bowl of dumplings.
There was a large bowl of dumplings, each of which was quite large, with about thirty dumplings in total. Cheng Hao gave two to Lin Yuxun and ate the rest.
The coaches and Xu Chengyang: "..." Looking at Cheng Hao's physique, they already knew that he must have a big appetite, but they didn't expect his appetite to be so big...
That would have been fine, Cheng Hao even ate a small bowl of rice and finished the dishes he ordered.
The coaches were all stunned, but Xu Chengyang was embarrassed.
He thought Cheng Hao would not be able to finish it and there would be a lot left, but...
At this time, Cheng Hao looked at the coaches and asked, "Do you want to order some dumplings or something?" The portions of those Western meals were decent enough to fill ordinary people, but most of them, the coaches, would not be able to eat enough.
The coaches were indeed not full, and upon hearing this, they immediately ordered dumplings and noodles to share, and then talked to Cheng Hao about the current situation of boxing in China.
Cheng Hao was actually aware of the current state of boxing in China, but he still listened carefully to what they said and said, "When I came back this time, I had some training equipment flown in. I also brought back a lot of videos and foreign boxing magazines. I also compiled a set of training materials that should be useful to you."
He bought almost every boxing-related book he could find and even wrote down some training methods and diet plans. "Given the current domestic situation, it's difficult to win a prize in an international heavyweight division. I could try the lightweight division first."
Cheng Hao was a member of the boxing team in his previous life and had experienced several reforms of the boxing team. So what he said now made sense. The coaches listened and nodded repeatedly.
Lin Yuxun knew a lot about boxing and had often participated in negotiations over the years, so he could interject and say something at this time, but Xu Chengyang had no chance to get a word in.
This made Xu Chengyang, who was always praised and looked down upon people involved in sports, a little unhappy. Finding an opportunity, Xu Chengyang suddenly asked, "I heard that boxers make a lot of money? I wonder how much money they can make from a match?" He felt that Cheng Hao must not make much!
This question was a bit rude, so Cheng Hao said, "I don't make much money playing games. The bulk of the money comes from other sources, like endorsements."
The coaches were still trying to figure out what "endorsement" was. Xu Chengyang asked, "I heard that not long ago, you had a match with Claude. That match was called the Peak Showdown. How much did you get paid for that match?"
By this time, Cheng Hao had already realized that the man in front of him looked down on him. He was also a little unhappy, so he said, "This competition is a bit special. I got about one million US dollars. I was planning to use this money to build a few primary schools in China."
The coaches and Xu Chengyang were all stunned.
It was still the 1990s, and one million dollars was an astronomical figure for them.
Although Xu Chengyang's family is rich, he is still shocked by the fact that Cheng Hao earns so much in one game.
As for those coaches, they all thought Cheng Hao was a really nice person.
He made money in the United States and was willing to come back to build an elementary school!
Moreover, he is so rich, and I think he has a high status in the United States. When facing them, he did not put on airs at all and was very down-to-earth!
In contrast, when they were with Xu Chengyang a few days ago, Xu Chengyang always acted like they knew nothing and looked down on them, which made them quite unhappy.
Cheng Hao didn't say much to these people. They agreed to meet up tomorrow and then went to rest and adjust to the time difference. As soon as these coaches left the hotel, they said to Xu Chengyang, "Xiao Xu, your question just now was so rude!"
Xu Chengyang's anger grew even greater: "I was just asking casually!"
"You can't ask like this even if you're just asking casually. Also, if you don't understand other people's business, don't talk nonsense. You almost ruined this reception for us." Someone else said.
Others were dissatisfied: "Exactly, we've both been abroad, why is there such a big difference? Cheng Hao always thinks about his own country, but you only think about abroad."
Xu Chengyang always used to talk about how good life was abroad and how backward China was. Although they felt uncomfortable hearing that at the time, they had no way of refutation because it was the fact and could only listen.
But now that they have met Cheng Hao and compared his words and deeds with Xu Chengyang's, they became dissatisfied.
"Okay, you guys are great, but don't ask me for help in the future!" Xu Chengyang's face turned red when he was accused, and he turned and left.
Cheng Hao was unaware of the dispute outside, and he didn't care at all that Xu Chengyang, the translator, was targeting him. He was currently discussing with Lin Yuxun what to eat the next morning. After that, he said, "Do you want to contact Mr. Shi? Let's have dinner together?"
Although Shi Wenzhen returned to China ten years ago, Lin Yuxun has always kept in touch with him. They also helped Shi Wenzhen take care of several of Shi Wenzhen's students studying abroad.
"I was just about to contact him." Lin Yuxun said.
Lin Yuxun quickly contacted Shi Wenzheng.
Cheng Hao will stay with the boxing team for about ten days. During this time, Lin Yuxun plans to meet Shi Wenzhen and see if there are any investment projects in the country. In addition, Cheng Hao wants to donate money to build a primary school, so it would be best to contact the government.
Cheng Hao doesn't need to worry about these things, he can just take care of them.
The next day when Cheng Hao went to the boxing team, he did not bring Lin Yuxun or the bodyguards with him - it was still very safe in the country.
And the coaches did not bring Xu Chengyang, the translator, this time.
In this way, everyone gets along better.
Cheng Hao has rich training experience and has guided the boxing team to improve in many areas. At this time, news of his return to China began to appear in various newspapers.
