After having this glass of celebration wine with his friends in the bar, Chu Zhongtian asked Boss John for leave, went out to call his home to announce the good news.

This is indeed a happy event. Although Chu Zhongtian has not graduated from college, he has earned more than he has since graduated from college. And it will be even more, and his salary will increase by 10% every year. If he performs again and signs a contract again, it will only get higher and higher, and it will not get lower and lower.

Finally, he doesn't have to let his parents send him living expenses. Not only that, he can also send money to his family to subsidize his family's income.

What a glorious thing this is - for twenty years to eat and drink for parents, it is finally time to repay their kindness. Chu Zhongtian was unwilling to wait for a second, and now he is going to tell the good news to his family.

It is now 10:40 in the UK and 6:40 in the morning in Beijing time. My parents should get up.

The call at this time is not considered disturbing their sleep.

He dialed the phone at home excitedly, and Chu Zhongtian was waiting for the sound of answering the phone.

He raised his head and looked at the bright smile of his face reflected in the glass in the phone booth. Chu Zhongtian realized that he was too far from being "not surprised by honor and disgrace". Although he had good psychological qualities in football games... But what's wrong with this? This is a good thing. Why do I have to pretend to be mature on my face? I just want to laugh! I just want to laugh to the fullest, and let everyone in the world know - I! Chu Zhongtian! I have become a professional player! From now on, I rely on my own abilities to make a living and respect my parents. How glorious!

"Which" finally rang out from the other end of the phone.

He felt as if a long time had passed.

※※In fact, it took Zhou Xiaoxiang less than twenty seconds to hear the phone ringing, to walk from the kitchen to the living room to answer the phone, and the ringing rang four times.

She picked it up and asked, "Which?"

Rarely, people call home so early.

"Mom!" Her son's excited voice rang out from the other side of the phone.

"What's the matter? Called so early. Your dad just got up and I was still making breakfast..."

"I'm a professional player, mom!" Chu Zhongtian shouted on the other side of the phone.

Zhou Xiaoxiang had to take the phone away a little.

"My agent has already negotiated with Chelsea Club. I will sign a contract with them on Monday. Mom! After signing the contract, I am a formal professional player! A salary of 900 pounds per week! It's 3,600 yuan a month. It's about 36,000 yuan to convert it into RMB... It's about 36,000! Mom, I've made money! I've made money! You don't have to send me living expenses in the future! I'll send it to you! What do you want? I'll return to China in June and bring you some gifts..."

He yelled for a long time, but his mother Zhou Xiaoxiang didn't even say a word.

"Which one?" After her husband Chu Zuosheng finished washing up, he saw Lao Pi holding the microphone and said nothing. He asked.

"Son." Zhou Xiaoxiang turned his head and replied. He waved his hand to signal Chu Zuosheng to come over, and then stuffed the microphone into his hand. "Let's listen, there are still fermented glutinous rice eggs in the pot..."

"What's the matter?" Chu Zuosheng asked strangely. His wife's behavior was a little strange, but he couldn't say what was strange about it for the time being.

"Hey, son?"

Chu Zuosheng was just excited when he heard his father's voice change. "Ah? Dad..." He didn't react.

"What you were saying just now scared your mother away."

"I've become a professional player, dad!" Chu Zhongtian shouted again.

"Ha! What?" Chu Zuosheng smiled first, then realized. "What did you say?"

So Chu Zhongtian repeated what he said to his mother just now.

In the story of his son's excitement and incoherent speech, Chu Zuosheng finally slowly understood that his son was about to sign a contract with Chelsea Club and became a professional player who made a living by playing football. His salary of 900 pounds a week not only allowed him to support himself, but also saved money to send it to his family.

This is a earth-shaking change... Listening to his son excitedly quoting the exchange rate between the pound and the RMB, his annual income is equivalent to RMB, Chu Zuosheng, a person who has seen the world, was also a little dazed.

"Hey, dad?"

Chu Zhongtian, who spoke excitedly, did not hear his father's voice and asked in confusion.

"Ah, ah... that's it...we don't want any gifts. Don't spend money randomly as soon as you make money. You don't have to take them from the UK."

Dad's answer disappointed Chu Zhongtian. He also wanted to show off his ability to make money. "But I want to buy you a razor and a good watch, and also buy your mother a Louis Vuitton handbag. She always carries a cloth bag in class, which looks so embarrassing..."

"My plum blossom watch is good and good. What new watch is it? There are also shavers sold in China, Philip and Geely. Why do you want to buy it in the UK? What does your mother buy Louis Vuitton bags in school all day long? No matter how good the bag is, it will be used to cover the chalk with a layer of gray. What is the use of it?"

Chu Zuosheng firmly opposed his son's waste of money.

What my father said makes sense, and Chu Zhongtian didn't know what to say for a moment. But he was really unwilling to let him go home empty-handedly - I, Chu Zhongtian, was a seven-foot man. I finally made money and returned to my hometown. I just carried a suitcase when I went there, and what kind of suitcase when I came back. What kind of style is this?

"But Dad, I finally made money. I want to respect you..."

Chu Zuosheng snorted: "You still know how to be filial to your parents. You can do it yourself. How many times have you been home since you went to study in the UK? None of them once! If you really want to be filial to your parents, make your mother and I happy. If you get back in the summer vacation, you can get me back!"

Chu Zhongtian was ashamed when he heard this. He really only focused on playing football and never went home. During that time, he only thought about how to use all the opportunities he could use to improve his football level. He did not think about whether his parents were worried about him or whether he missed him. He had not spent the Spring Festival at home for three years, and he spent three months of summer vacations on the ball, but he had never been back. He had not seen him for three years. What did his parents look like? What was the family like?

He had never thought about these questions before.

Now I'm awakened by my dad with a blow.

Yes, it’s time for me to go home. I have been wandering outside for three years. Before I start a new journey, I go home and park, have a good rest, then make up for my fighting spirit and start my struggle again.

This time it's a more difficult goal than going to college.

"I'll tell you, if you really want to bring a gift, bring yourself back. For your mother and you are the best gift."

"I got it, dad. As soon as the season ends here, I'll go home."

"Don't find any reason at that time. No matter what the reason is, you will have to come back, even if you only come back for a day!"

My wife has missed her son more and more recently, and she seems to know that her son can’t go to college again. After changing to professional football, she will be in Europe most of the year, and it is even more difficult to see her again in the future. In fact, he also thinks, but the relationship between being a man is not so exposed.

Although I watched it once on TV, how can this be compared to face-to-face?

"There won't be any reason, Dad. I will definitely come back then!"

※※※ After hanging up the phone, Chu Zuosheng went to the kitchen to see his wife.

"My son is back during the summer vacation."

Zhou Xiaoxiang, who lowered her head to clean up the stove, nodding, not seemingly excited.

"He said he wanted to bring us gifts, and he also said he would buy you Louis Vuitton bags..."

"Um."

"But I refused. I just asked him to bring himself back, ha!"

"Okay." The wife finally said something other than "Yes".

Chu Zuosheng brought out the bowl filled with passionate fermented glutinous rice noodles and eggs, "It's time to eat."

※※※When Chu Zhongtian hung up the phone and walked back to the bar, Boss John found that his mood was not as high as before. Did he quarrel with his parents again?

But didn't he say he had received permission from his parents?

"Chu, are you in a bad mood?" he asked.

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "No, Boss John. He just suddenly remembered what he had always ignored..."

“What is it?”

"Family affection." Chu Zhongtian replied.

"Family affection..." Boss John murmured.

The British do not think of family affection as well as the Chinese. He has a pair of children, but after getting married and starting a business, he moved out long ago. Now both of them are not in London, one in Newcastle and the other in Manchester. He is alone in Wimbledon, guarding this bar that he has been running for the rest of his life. Fortunately, there are such a group of guys accompanying him all day long, otherwise he will definitely feel lonely.

"I only have football in my mind in the past three years, but I just called my parents and remembered that I hadn't even gone back to see them once. I was a little bit self-blame... It's not that I'm in a bad mood, boss." Chu Zhongtian smiled embarrassedly.

"Well, it's right to go back and see your parents. I said Chu, if you have the conditions in the future, just bring your parents to your side."

Chu Zhongtian slapped, "Good idea, thank you for your boss' advice!"

When one person makes a lot of money in the future, he will let his parents withdraw from home, such as middle school teachers and education bureau clerks, and they will not do anything. They will travel abroad and live with him. They will share the joy of family life. How great it is!

Of course, all these require money to be done. Money is really a good thing...※※The day of the contract was signed was Monday, and there was no report in the news media before that... But if Chu Zhongtian could see the news in China, he would know that this was not the case - the British media did not report it, but the Chinese sports media and the Internet were like bloodshed.

Xu Xiaodi's article "Bold Prediction: Chu Zhongtian may transfer to Chelsea" triggered China's Internet.

In the article, Xu Xiaodi analyzed the reasons why he thought Chelsea would be interested in Chu Zhongtian from several aspects. First, Chu Zhongtian performed well in the FA Cup against Chelsea, scoring two goals alone, which left a very deep impression on Chelsea. Secondly, Manchester United just spent 3.5 million pounds to buy Dong Fangzhuo, which resulted in a huge increase in China's domestic attention to Manchester United. Manchester United is leading many other teams in opening up the Asian market, especially the East Asian market. Chelsea must also hope to enter East Asia, especially the Chinese market. Then buying Chu Zhongtian can obviously enter China smoothly. The third is from

According to Chu Zhongtian's own strength, Chelsea will definitely not be able to let him play first-team games when he buys him. Obviously, he saw Chu Zhongtian's potential and would probably loan him out. Although Chelsea is not as satellite clubs as Manchester United, it should not be difficult to find a next home for Chu Zhongtian. After a few years of training, Chu Zhongtian is completely likely to become a member of Chelsea's first-team. Before this, it depends on whether the Chinese Football Association is willing to cooperate and give Chu Zhongtian enough to participate in the national team required to apply for a labor certificate. The fourth point is because Chu Zhongtian is free, so why not do it if you don't spend a cent on Chelsea club?

Xu Xiaodi naturally wrote this article with the idea of ​​re-invigorating the topic of Chu Zhongtian, but his attitude is quite serious and professional, but people in China do not think so.

Since Wimbledon was eliminated, the domestic hype about Chu Zhongtian has cooled down, so at this time Xu Xiaodi said that Chelsea wanted to buy Chu Zhongtian. The first reaction was to malicious hype to attract readers' attention. Chinese media, especially entertainment and sports media, have increasingly disgusted readers in malicious hype. Fairy, Xu Xiaodi's manuscript has become the target of public criticism as soon as it was released, because it looked like a typical malicious hype: What club is Chelsea? How could it be like an amateur player? Although we fans are fantasizing about it themselves, that's just and objective, but that's a joke. You are reporters. You must be fair and just and objective. How can you talk so irresponsibly?

For a moment, everyone scolded Xu Xiaodi's article, and even Chu Zhongtian cursed him together. Chu Zhongtian was really a disaster... The satirical online was even more amazing.

Below the comments on "Bold Prediction: Chu Zhongtian may transfer to Chelsea", there are comments from netizens full of Maopu style:

"Latest news, Real Madrid has decided to sign Lin Danda classmate! Zidane and Raul have said that being able to fight side by side with Dadan is their highest dream! Ronaldo looks forward to Dadan to guide him on how to have the physical fitness to not run..."

"Serie A giant AC Milan recently reported to our special correspondent in Milan, Shi Jincui, that they will buy Chinese player Chu Zhongtian from Wimbledon Athletic with 100 million euros that set a record of historical transfer fees. Berlusconi believes that Chu Zhongtian is the leader who leads Milan to a new glory. Paul Maldini welcomes Chu Zhongtian on behalf of the whole team: 'We warmly welcome the Chinese king of football to join! I have left him a place next to me in the locker room...'"

"Barcelona entered the battle group and announced the battle against Chu Zhongtian. Laporta believes that Chu Zhongtian is the kind of person they are looking for in the transfer market. 'He can bring victory. I watched his game against Chelsea, which is simply a dream...' Ronaldinho also believes that Chu Zhongtian's arrival will make him feel like a fish in the midfield: 'We played football together in our previous life!'"

"Chu Zhongtian has become a well-known star in England. According to well-informed sources, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham are all competing for his future ownership. Although Chelsea is one step ahead, Ferguson has proposed to use Cristiano Ronaldo and Rio Ferdinand to exchange Chu Zhongtian with another 60 million pounds. Liverpool also expressed their willingness to exchange Chu Zhongtian for their lead Gerrard because 'Chu is more suitable to be the leader of the Red Army'. Wenger said that he is the only one who can adjust Chu Zhongtian to a world-class star in the world football world. In response to this, their arch-rival Tottenham fans mocked him: 'Chu is already a world-class star!'"

...Chinese netizens fully developed their "idle" imagination and spoofed Xu Xiaodi's serious analytical article into nonsensical comics, and used this as a template. Such articles that spoof Chu Zhongtian were widely circulated in the online world, and Chu Zhongtian was almost the second "Emperor Li Yi"... Poor Chu Zhongtian did nothing and had become a victim of Chinese netizens' disgust for football and Chinese media.

Sports Weekly also criticized this report on "Century New Sports", and published an interview with Chelsea CEO Ken Yang by Li Liangcai, a special correspondent in London. In the interview, Li Kenyang denied their statement of interest in Chu Zhongtian.

So "Sports Weekly" used this to criticize "some media" for using their best efforts to attract readers' attention. Insincerely criticized "Century New Sports" for having no sports ethics and making up for it.

So Zhang Mingyu, the editor-in-chief of "Century New Sports", called Xu Xiaodi and told him that if he could not provide evidence that Chu Zhongtian joined Chelsea, he would be finished!

Xu Xiaodi also felt wronged - my title clearly states "bold prediction", when will it become a foregone conclusion?

But he couldn't bear the anger of the editor. Although he is now the closest reporter to Chu Zhongtian in China, Chu Zhongtian is still just an unknown person? Although he has won the FA Cup, he is still far from the real star.

He wanted to ask Chu Zhongtian for verification, but he had no choice but to find him. Chu Zhongtian had no cell phone, so he could only go to the Wimbledon bar or go to the Kings Ranch. Unfortunately, the team on Sunday just finished the game on Saturday, and Sunday's team would not go to the Kings Ranch for training. Even if he went there, he couldn't find Chu Zhongtian. And when he received the call from the editor-in-chief, it was already 11:45 p.m. local time. When he rushed to the Wimbledon bar, the bar closed early and Chu Zhongtian also went back. He didn't know where Chu Zhongtian lived... In desperation, he could only wait for the Wimbledon bar to verify.

Xu Xiaodi, who was lying on the bed and preparing to sleep, can only pray that his speculation was correct. Chelsea was really interested in Chu Zhongtian, otherwise he might have to think about finding another job...
