Fox in the Penalty Area

The whole team dinner is very happy, everyone is very happy.

The Chinese food level of red pepper is indeed very high.

It can not only satisfy the real Chinese stomach like Hu Lai, but also make Charlie Potter and Pete Williams feel delicious to those foreigners who have never been to China.

This is actually very difficult.

After all, most Chinese food that is popular in the West is sweet and sour, and it has been modified.

Some of them are not even "magically reformed", but simply "made out of nothing".

For example, "Tso's Chicken" is a famous Chinese dish. Before going abroad, countless Chinese people have never even heard of this dish, let alone eaten it.

This is Chinese food invented and created by foreigners themselves.

However, some dishes that Chinese people especially like to eat are difficult for foreigners to accept.

Mapo tofu is a dish that can only be found in East Asia, which also belongs to the Confucian cultural circle. Many people in the West are not even used to tofu.

After the meal, at the kind invitation of the hotel manager, Leeds City players surrounded him and took a group photo.

This group photo will be developed, then framed and hung in a conspicuous place in the restaurant, so that every guest who comes in to eat can know that the whole team of Leeds City has eaten here.

What is Pai Nian?

This is!

After the group photo, the players of Leeds City happily bid farewell to the head coach Tony Clark-after this meal, the relationship between everyone and the head coach has also been further improved-and drove away in their respective cars.

Hu Lai didn't have a car, but he had already called for Uncle Yong to pick him up.

He stood at the door and bid farewell to his teammates while waiting for the car.

When Clark finished paying and came out, he grabbed the head coach: "Boss, when is the next meal?"

Clark was at a loss: "Next meal? What next meal?"

When Hu Lai saw the boss like this, he became anxious—do you still want to renege on the debt? !

So he quickly said: "Isn't it the boss who said five goals for a meal? I scored eleven goals this season,

Not counting fractions, ten balls should be exchanged for two meals, right? "

Clark and Matt next to him looked at each other after hearing what Hu Lai said, and then they laughed: "You got it wrong, Hu."

"Did I get it wrong?"

"Well." Tony Clark nodded, "I mean, if you can score five goals this season, I invite you to come to Chili Pepper for a meal. But I didn't say that every time you score five goals, I will I want to treat you to a meal..."

Hu Lai was stunned: "Is that what you said?"

"Yes. It's pretty good to let you have a Chinese meal. Do you know how much pressure I have been under to treat you to this meal? Ms. Schmidt's side is hard to explain... If you scored five goals and I just treat you to a Chinese meal, Ms. Schmidt might explode on the spot."

Hu Lai was speechless. Unexpectedly, the treat he had been looking forward to for so long turned out to be a one-off...

"So such good things will disappear in the future?" He asked a little unwillingly.

"No, Hu." Matt shrugged with a smile. "Besides, you are going back to China soon. Isn't it more convenient and delicious to eat Chinese food in China than in Leeds? Why do you care about one or two meals?"

"That's different, Matt. It's a treat from the boss. It means something different to me. It's not a simple meal. It's recognition and encouragement from the boss." Hu Lai shook his head and said solemnly.

Hearing what Hu Lai said, and looking at the serious expression on his face, Clark suddenly had a thought, and couldn't help but said: "Well, Hu. It's obviously not okay to treat you to a meal with five balls. With you The scoring efficiency can really explode Ms. Schmidt's mentality. I promise you, if you can win the league golden boot, I will invite you to eat red pepper again."

Hu Lai was taken aback for a moment, and then happily asked, "Boss, do you keep your word?"

"Nonsense, of course!" Clark scowled, showing the majesty of a head coach.

"Well, I will try my best!"

At this moment, Yong Jun's car arrived, opened the window of the co-pilot so that Hu Lai could see him, and waved at him.

"Then it's settled, boss. I'll go first! See you next season!" Hu Lai said goodbye to Clark and Matt happily.

"Goodbye, Hu."

After the two watched Hu Lai get into the car and leave, Matt said to Clark: "Tony, I have to say... If you want to use the Premier League Golden Boot as a euphemistic excuse to reject him, you may have a wrong idea. He can score so many goals in only half a season, so given him a full season, it is really possible to compete for the Golden Boot..."

Clark shook his head and interrupted him: "I didn't mean to refuse him. How much does it cost to have a meal? I really hope that he can have the motivation to continue fighting. As you said, it's only half He can score so many goals in one season, and his performance is very good. It is better than all of us, and I don't know if it is beyond Hu's own expectations. The requirements for myself... so I need to give him a little stimulation."

After understanding Clark's intentions, Matt said with emotion: "If he can only get the Premier League Golden Boot... Heck, I can't imagine what it should be like, and how much our team will rank in the league... "

Clark was silent and did not answer.

Because he couldn't imagine it either.

"How are you doing today?" Yong Jun asked Hu Lai who was sitting in the back while driving.

"Everyone is very happy and eating very well, Uncle Yong. The Chinese food of red pepper is really well done, Uncle Yong, let me tell you that the taste is really a bit like eating out in China..."

"Yes, I know." Yong Jun nodded in response.

"Ah? You know? What do you know, Uncle Yong?"

"I went to eat." Yong Jun replied.

"!" Hu Lai stared at Uncle Yong in the rearview mirror with wide eyes, "Uncle Yong, when did you go to eat?"

"Sometimes, when you're at the training base at noon, and I'm too lazy to cook, I eat it..."

Hu Lai: "Uncle Yong, you speak so confidently, I can't even say anything..."

Yong Jun laughed: "Don't be jealous, I'm under a lot of pressure to go to restaurants every day..."

"Uncle Yong, what pressure can you have?"

"The pressure on the scale."

Hu Lai rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to this old Versailles. He pulled out his cell phone.

Seeing Hu Lai's movements through the rearview mirror, Yong Jun smiled and reminded: "Go back and rest early, let's go to Paris together tomorrow."

"En." Hu Lai nodded, in fact, he was looking for Li Qingqing on WeChat.

"Did you sign the brokerage contract with Fatty Song?"

"Signed yesterday. We are also members of the same company now, Hu Lai!" Li Qingqing replied quickly.

The Ligue 1 women's football league ended on May 4th. The reason why Li Qingqing stayed in Paris and did not return to China immediately was to sign a contract with Song Jiajia's Champion Legend Sports Agency.

And the reason why she didn't sign the contract until now is also because Song Jiajia didn't find a reliable female football agent until some time ago.

In the entertainment industry, female managers are not uncommon. But in the generally male-dominated world of football, female agents are far too rare.

So during this period of time, Song Jiajia has been looking for a capable agent with good character.

It was only a month ago that a female manager was finally recruited with a heavy salary to take charge of Li Qingqing's management affairs.

With a female agent, Li Qingqing can also sign a contract with Song Jiajia's sports agency, officially becoming a signed player of Champion Legend Sports Agency.

In fact, there is no rule that female players must use a female agent, but in Song Jiajia's view, it always feels weird to assign Li Qingqing a male agent... That's why I spent so much time, energy and money to find a professional agent with great professional ability. Strong female agent.

It can be said that this female manager will only be in charge of Li Qingqing's affairs alone, and does not need to be responsible for Hu Lai, Zhang Qinghuan and Wang Guangwei's affairs like Yong Jun.

And in the foreseeable future, Song Jiajia probably won't sign new women's football players for the company, so what Li Qingqing enjoys in the company is one-on-one service.

The reason why Hu Lai went to Paris was because since Li Qingqing was going to stay in Paris to sign a contract with Song Jiajia, just in time for the end of the Premier League on his side, the two of them could make an appointment to go back together, and they could also have a companion on the way to take care of each other.

After Song Jiajia and Yong Jun meet up in Paris, they will not return to China with Hu Lai and Li Qingqing, but will go to the United States to have a good talk with Nike about the signing of Hu Lai and Li Qingqing.

Nike gave the most money. At the same time, they are also the jersey sponsor of the Chinese team and intend to become the jersey sponsor of Leeds City. These are beneficial to Hu Lai's signing with Nike.

Li Qingqing is a player that Nike has long wanted to sign, but Li Qingqing has not had a fixed agent before, and this matter has reached a deadlock.

Now that Li Qingqing and Song Jiajia's company have signed a contract, Song Jiajia naturally wants to push this matter again.

Trying to get Hu Lai and Li Qingqing to sign under the same brand as spokespersons will be of great benefit both from the perspective of marketing and promotion, as well as from the personal relationship between the two of them.

At the end of the season, the players who have worked hard for a season will start their rare vacation, while the agents have to get busy.

Of course, Hu Lai will not return to China with Li Qingqing after arriving in Paris the next day.

On the contrary, they will not leave in a hurry, but will stay in Paris for two more days.

Because he and Li Qingqing had agreed to go to Disneyland in Paris together.

Mainly because he played with Li Qingqing. As a straight steel man, Hu Lai had little interest in Disneyland. But Li Qingqing said he was going to play, so he agreed to go with her.

Although he complained about Li Qingqing more than once in his heart:

childish!
