A team of Suzhou ping-pong players, lined up in formation, sang Katyusha as they entered the station.
Specialized commuter soldiers helped them clear a path.
These ping-pong balls attracted the curious gazes of many passengers entering and leaving the station, and some even took out their cameras to take pictures.
When Xing Baohua arrived, they were already waiting on the platform for the train to arrive.
I wanted to walk over, but I was stopped by the commuters from section J.
He could only watch from afar.
Of course, Dalia and Kiva also looked around, trying to see if the man who squeezed the salad dressing had actually come.
When they saw Xing Baohua outside the cordon, they all laughed. Daliya even disregarded the disciplinary action and was the first to run over.
Kiwa followed behind.
The three embraced each other. The onlookers, who had initially come to watch the spectacle, even started to jeer and whistle.
Several cameras were flashing.
Foreigners say goodbye with hugs or kisses.
Xing Baohua was passively bitten a few times before waving goodbye to the two gunners once more.
I watched them board the train, and saw Kiva and Dalia open the window and stick their heads out. Their faces were already covered in tears; they waved and blew kisses.
Once the cordon was removed, Xing Baohua jogged alongside the train, waving goodbye to them.
Xing Baohua is not a heartless person; she does have feelings.
The three days of interaction were very beneficial to him.
Xing Baohua was unaware that reporters had taken several sets of photos.
One of the photos shows two female table tennis players kissing his cheek at the same time.
Xing Baohua had her eyes closed, as if she was enjoying herself.
The photo even made it into the newspaper the next day. It was even tagged as either friendship or romance.
It was a very bold assumption about the problem. It certainly caused a lot of controversy.
Xing Baohua doesn't read newspapers, so of course he doesn't know about these things.
Luzhong Machinery Factory was a major newspaper subscriber; several departments subscribed to the newspaper. Xing Baohua's romantic escapades were also widely known throughout the factory.
When Su Ya saw it, she chuckled. Of course, she knew about Xing Baohua's relationship with those two.
Even if something did happen, the person is already gone. And they're miles away. What's there to worry about!
When Xing's father saw the newspaper, he was also quite helpless! This kid has gone international; how am I supposed to manage him now?!
Xing Baohua went straight to the recording studio after leaving the station. He met with Grandpa Li and told him to go to Director Wang's place that evening.
I went to check out Zou Wenjuan's recording session. The results were pretty good; at least it wasn't too difficult.
A professional team is so easy to work with. Recording one song a day, their efficiency is unmatched.
After everyone came out, Xing Baohua took Zou Wenjuan and Wang Weibao to move, and then returned to the teachers' college guesthouse.
Everything was move-in ready, which was very convenient. We only went to eat after we finished settling in.
After finishing his meal, Xing Baohua prepared to rest. He hadn't had a proper rest for three days in a row; even an iron ox couldn't take it.
The guesthouse staff told Xing Baohua that they had several of his phone numbers, and that a group of people had even come looking for him.
The waiter gave Xing Baohua a slip of paper with a phone number to call back. The number turned out to be the factory's.
I haven't stayed here for the past two days, and I haven't changed my phone number. It has indeed caused some delays.
I quickly went back to my room and called the factory, but no one answered. I realized it was already past my shift.
I'll have to call tomorrow morning.
I slept soundly and woke up early, feeling refreshed and radiant.
It swept away the previous sense of dejection.
Go knock on Zou Wenjuan's door and wake her up for breakfast. Also, knock on Wang Weibao's door while you're at it.
Zou Wenjuan said to Xing Baohua with dissatisfaction, "Why are you up so early today, you lazybones."
"I'm not lazy, I'm just busy with work, which makes me rest late. Why don't you try working for a big factory?"
"Pshaw, your factory is big?" Zou Wenjuan said, and went downstairs first.
When Xing Baohua returned after dinner, he asked the two of them to wait for him.
Zou Wenjuan, having nothing to do, waited in Xing Baohua's room.
Xing Baohua checked that it was almost eight o'clock, so he called the factory first.
A moment later, Xiaobo answered the phone and reported what had happened during this period.
Production at the factory is fine. It's just that Liu Haibo went to the provincial capital and can't be found.
There was also a foreign telephone, but I don't know what they were saying.
Xing Baohua guessed that the foreign phone call was from George, perhaps because he was coming soon and wanted him to make arrangements for his reception.
Forget about that for now, I'll make time to go back. I have a car anyway, and I don't have to pay for gas for now, which is much more convenient.
Xing Baohua answered Liu Haibo's question using the phone number he had left.
The person on the phone looked down on him, saying he hadn't gotten up yet, and spoke lazily.
"Brother Bo, were you looking for me?"
"You finally showed up, kid! It's been so hard to find you!" Liu Haibo said quickly upon hearing that it was Xing Baohua.
Xing Baohua seemed to hear the woman's moaning as she turned over on the phone.
"I didn't know you were coming. I've been really busy lately, recording tapes and stuff, I'm just too busy to keep up. I'll go to the recording studio at the broadcasting station in a bit, I'll give you the address, you can find me there." Xing Baohua finished speaking and hung up the phone.
Looking back, I really don't know what Liu Haibo wanted from me.
After finishing their work, they called Zou Wenjuan and Wang Weibao to the recording studio.
They arrived more than an hour later. Liu Haibo, Sun Changjie, and Zhang Taoming finally got over.
Liu Haibo laughed heartily and gave Xing Baohua a big hug. He said with a smile, "You really gave me a surprise!"
“No surprises, we’ve been preparing for this all along, so it’s just a natural progression. Look, the symphony orchestra, the electric band, and the singers are all ready. The record is being recorded, and once the master tapes are out, we’ll just put it on cassette. Don’t rush to release it yet; wait until we have enough stock, then ship it all at once,” Xing Baohua said.
