Chapter 225 Stan's Best Psychological Massage

Faced with Zhou Dun's rejection, Stan was a little surprised, not because he was rejected, but because Stan saw that Zhou Dun was lying.

Stan is a person who has studied sports psychology, and he is also very good at observing words and expressions. From Zhou Dun's first reaction just now, he can see that Zhou Dun is very interested in his proposal, but why did he reject it in the end?

Instead of asking why right away, Stan takes a roundabout tactic.

"Well, okay," Stan said.

Zhou Dun heaved a sigh of relief, but he was not happy.

"Can you walk with me?" Stan asked.

Zhou Dun thought for a while, but did not refuse, "Okay."

Stan pointed to the glass of tomato juice on the table and said, "Don't mind if I take it out of the store, I promise to return it."

Zhou Dun smiled and shook his head.

*****
Valparaíso is a natural oxygen bar. Walking on the road, the sea breeze is cool, which is very pleasant. Coupled with the all white and blue buildings, Stan really doesn't want to leave.

"It's a beautiful city, I will write it down in my notebook, I will come here often after I retire, maybe I will live there for a year or so," Stein said.

"It is indeed a beautiful city with a good climate",
Stan looked at Zhou Dun and asked, "Guangzhou or Valparaiso, which one do you like better?"
"There is no way to compare this. Guangzhou is home, which makes people feel more comfortable, but there are also memories of my childhood here."

Stan nodded. At this time, two beauties in bikinis passed by the beach. They smiled at Stan. Stan held up tomato juice to salute them. Seeing Stan's funny behavior, the two beauties covered their mouths and smiled.

"Chilean girls are nice, have you thought about getting a Chilean wife in the future?" Stein asked.

Zhou Dun smiled and said nothing.

*****
As they walked, the two arrived at the side of the beach. Stan was wearing leather shoes, so he could only take off his shoes and carry them in his hands as he walked forward.

Zhou Dun pointed to a parasol a few steps away, and said, "Let's go and sit there."

"Can I sit anywhere?"
"It's okay, just a few pesos, it's rented",
Stan nodded and followed Zhou Dun.

After sitting down, there was a brief silence between the two of them, and in front of them were the waves rolled up by the Pacific Ocean and constantly hitting the beach.

Stan pointed to the sea in front of him and said, "China is on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. If we have a powerful enough telescope, we can see Guangzhou now."

Zhou Dun didn't reply.

"How long has it been since you returned to China"?
"It's been 2 years, we go back every 2 years for the Spring Festival",
"So long",
Zhou Dun nodded and said, "It's too far away. It takes more than 30 hours to fly by plane and everything goes smoothly. If the plane is delayed, it will take several days."

Stan nodded.

"So can you tell me why you lied to me just now",
Stan's sudden words made Zhou Dun very nervous. He didn't know whether it was because Stan hit the mark because of his guilt, or because Stan's tone was too serious.

Zhou Dun replied instinctively: "I didn't lie."

Stan looked at Zhou Dun with a smile and said, "Actually, you are not good at lying."

Zhou Dun's face turned even redder, he was a little embarrassed, he knew that his expression had completely betrayed him.

"It's actually okay. We just met for the first time. We are strangers. It's normal for you to reject me, and it's not a lie."

Zhou Dun remained silent, which could be regarded as an acquiescence.

"Can you tell me why, you are obviously very moved by my proposal, but why...".

Although Zhou Dun and Stan met for the first time today, Zhou Dun's impression of Stan was not bad. Now that this was the point, Zhou Dun felt that it was time to speak up.

"Overseas Chinese sounds very good. Everyone in China thinks that if you go abroad, you can make a lot of money, but it's not true. My parents have worked hard abroad for so many years."

After listening to Zhou Dun's words, Stan nodded. He didn't expect Zhou Dun to be so filial.

"Now that I am grown up, I can take on family responsibilities. I want to spend more time with them when I want to rest, and I don't want to spend so long flying back to play games."

"It turned out to be for the parents", Stan thought to himself, and after hearing Zhou Dun's explanation, Stan liked this child even more, and he was caring.

"So if I can find a private jet to pick you up, will you go back"?
"can you"?Zhou Dun said excitedly.

Of course, Stan does not have a private jet. The reason why he said this is to test how sincere Zhou Dun is in wanting to serve the country. From his longing eyes, Stan feels that Zhou Dun really wants to go back.

"It's human-made," Stan said.

Zhou Dun smiled, and then pointed to the sea in front of him, "If there is a "gate of time and space", if you can go back to Guangzhou in one step, then I will definitely go back."

"You seem to be very filial to your parents," Stan said.

"This is the most basic."
"Well," Stan nodded, "It's a pity you don't know what filial piety is."

Zhou Dun was upset, this time he was really unhappy, "Then what do you think is filial piety?"

Zhou Dun's tone was very blunt, even provocative, but Stan was very calm, "Do you think it's filial to spend more time with them?"
"Is not it"?
Stan sneered.

"Although I dare not say that I know my parents [-]%, but I know better than you."

"Not necessarily," Stan said.

Zhou Dun turned his head away, he felt that he had nothing to say to the man in front of him.

"Are you mocking me for being a failed son"?
Stan shook his head, "It's not your fault, you're too young."

Zhou Dun snorted and asked coldly, "Then please enlighten me."

Stan looked at Zhou Dun with a smile, drank the tomato juice in his hand, and then said slowly: "The leaves fall back to their roots."

"The leaves fall and return to their roots", Zhou Dun recited silently.

"No matter how nice it is here, it's not your parents' home, I bet they want to go back home."

Stan’s words made Zhou Dun completely silent, because he knew that Stan was right, not only his parents, but generations of overseas Chinese were like this. There are still many beautiful watchtowers in many places in Guangdong, which were built by overseas Chinese who made money back then. Chinese people seem to have the dream of returning to their roots no matter how much they earn.

Zhou Dun shook his head and said, "Maybe, but it's not easy."

"Why isn't it easy?" Stan asked.

"Going back means that my career will be cut off, and the weekly diary that has been open for more than 10 years will be closed. Do you think you can let it go?"
Stan chuckled.

"why are you laughing"?
"What you said seems too simple to me",
"Simple"?
"Yes, it's very simple, so simple that it can't be simpler",
Stan's words shocked Zhou Dun.

Stan continued: "As long as you are willing to go back, you can join Guangzhou Tianbao immediately, and I will double your annual salary for you."

"Can..",
Stan made a "shut up" gesture, "You want to say, but I'm not the head coach of Guangzhou Tianbao anymore, am I?"
Zhou Dun nodded.

"Guangzhou Tianbao is big or the national team is big"?
"The national team is big",
"That's it, it's okay for me to "use power for personal gain" occasionally",
Zhou Dun burst out laughing, and Stan laughed too.

"There is also your father's restaurant. It will be opened the same way back home, and it will be bigger. Guangzhou Tianbao is a real estate company. I will help you contact all the facilities."

Zhou Dun was taken aback by Stan's domineering words, and he couldn't believe that Stan's words were true.

After speaking, Stan looked around and said, "Well, this place is good to live in after retirement, but it's still too small to realize your ideals in life."

Having said that, Stan's words have completely moved Zhou Dun.

"If you have any doubts, say it straight away," Stein said.

"Hehe, no more, as long as my father agrees."
Stan chuckled and said, "Can't he be your master?"
"That's diplomatic rhetoric," Zhou Dun said.

*****
The two strolled slowly back to "Zhou Ji", and Lao Zhou had already returned. Seeing Zhou Dun's smiling face and Stan's happy expression, Lao Zhou knew that nothing had happened.

The three of them sat down, Zhou Dun told his father what he had said just now, old Zhou patted the table and said, "Let's go back tomorrow."

Stan was amused by Lao Zhou's straight temper, and said: "You sit down first".

"The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as your own kennel",
Zhou Dun said: "Father, watch your words."

Thinking back on the old Monday, I also feel that what I said was wrong. Now China is no longer a kennel, and times have changed.

"Anyway, in a word, I follow Stan's lead",
Stan chuckled, glad it was done.

*****
The restaurant is closed at night, and Zhou must invite Stan to his house for dinner. Zhou Dun's house is not far from "Zhou Ji", only a 5-minute walk, with a blue and white exterior wall and a two-story building.

"It seems that the Zhou family has worked hard for so many years, and they are considered middle class in Chile," Stein thought.

"What's for dinner tonight"?Stan asked.

Old Zhou chuckled and said, "Zhou Dun, take out the guy I greet the distinguished guests with."

Seeing the mysterious behavior of the two father and son, Stan is also looking forward to it.

After a while, the huge barbecue grill was set up. Old Zhou and Zhou Dun were going to carry the barbecue grill to the yard.

Seeing the situation, Stan rushed to help. It took a lot of effort for the three big men to lift the barbecue grill into the yard.

"Barbecue"?Stan asks, because Stan thinks barbecue is common.

"Parrillada, Chilean barbecue, has the flavor of this place," Zhou Dun said.

"Oh",
After a while, Mother Zhou brought the food over, and Stan looked at it. There were "baked sausages, pork chops, chicken wings, chicken legs, potatoes", and some things Stan didn't recognize.

Although the barbecue is the same, the difference lies in the way of grilling and seasoning and dipping sauce.

The four of them grilled, ate, and chatted. Stan talked a lot about China, and Zhou’s mother also revealed a lot about Zhou Dun’s childhood, which made Zhou Dun very embarrassed. Only Lao Zhou didn’t speak much, but he was very happy.

When the wine was hot, Stan formally extended an invitation to Zhou Dun, and Zhou Dun promised to report for the next game.
