Chapter 139 Shamelessness and Silent Patriotism
Lu Lu, a reporter assigned by Dongqiudi, was like a senior paparazzi. He followed Li Qing from school to Starbucks in the center of Liverpool, hoping to see if he could take some useful photos.
Due to the warning from Liverpool Club and Li Qing's refusal to accept media interviews, he had no contact with Li Qing in life, so he naturally failed to become friends with him, and thus had no way to get first-hand information, so that the verbal agreement he reached with the CEO could not be fulfilled, so he had to do what the paparazzi did.
Wearing a mask, Lu Lu followed Li Qing into Starbucks. Inside, he also saw Li Qing's legendary agent Mendes, a tycoon in the world of football agents!
He felt something big was happening!
Just then, a couple at the table behind Li Qing got up and left, so he walked over and sat down facing Li Qing's back.
After a while, Mendes and the two young men left separately, which meant that only Li Qing and the middle-aged man sitting opposite were left.
He never expected that the middle-aged man was actually the deputy director of the Football Association Office. He took out his mobile phone to search in disbelief. The ID photo was exactly the same as the middle-aged man opposite him!
As a qualified reporter, you must have a keen sense of smell.
Lu Lu thought he was a qualified reporter. He took out the camera from his bag and put it on the table, aiming the lens at the side and rear of Li Qing and the front of Chen Yong. Then he took out his mobile phone and changed his position. He sat back to back with Li Qing and turned on the recording of the mobile phone.
Maybe because they were in a foreign country, neither of them deliberately lowered their voices when they spoke, and Lu Lu heard it clearly.
Soon, they talked about Li Qing's naturalization.
Suddenly, Lu Lu was refreshed. Now domestic media and fans hope to see Li Qing return to China after naturalization. The deputy director of the Football Association Office took the initiative to talk to Li Qing about naturalization. Then... is it almost certain what will happen next?
At that time, as the first reporter to provide explosive news, he will definitely be cared for by Mr. Chen, and promotion and salary increase will be a piece of cake to reach the peak of his life!
When Deputy Director Chen Yong talked about the Football Association's current plan for naturalization, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.
Since the Football Association has no naturalization plan, why did he look for Li Qing?
The answer was not revealed until the topic shifted to Li Qing's need to give 50% of his personal income to the Football Association. It turned out that... asking for money... was the real purpose!
As a reporter with a conscience, he knew that if the money was given to the Football Association, it would most likely be a waste of money.
Do youth training?
Has the Football Association ever done youth training?
No!
Especially at the end, when it was said that 40% would be given to the Football Association and 10% would be given to Chen Yong as hard work fee, he suddenly became furious.
Li Qing's refusal was an expected result. No one would be willing to give half of the hard-earned money to the Football Association, which had no connection with them, and even give 10% of it to others as hard work fee.
What is the meaning of such naturalization?
Li Qing took the initiative to seek naturalization because he cared about his motherland, but it did not mean that he could be slaughtered at will.
As Li Qing said, patriotism is the national spirit in his bones. If he exchanges it for money, his patriotic feelings will become extremely dirty.
There are too many officials who are willing to serve the country but are helpless to take bribes and pervert the law.
Li Qing left Starbucks very manly, and Lu Lu did not leave with him. He was afraid that there would be more explosive news next.
As expected!
The tall young man waiting at the door of Starbucks walked up to Chen Yong and asked, "Director Chen, didn't the kid agree?"
"Humph! He thinks he is arrogant because he has achieved a little success abroad. Such young people should be suppressed! Want to naturalize? Don't even think about it if you don't contribute 20% of the income!"
Chen Yong said coldly.
"Director Chen, I have a plan. I wonder if you are interested in listening."
The thin young man's eyes flashed.
"You say..."
...
It turned out that some senior officials in the Football Association were somewhat yearning for naturalization, which they had never tried, but the conservatives were unwilling to break the old rules. So Chen Yong saw that it was profitable and took the initiative to go to Liverpool, England to contact Li Qing.
According to Chen Yong, if Li Qing contributed 40% of his personal income to the Football Association for youth training, he would be confident in convincing the conservatives within the Football Association. After all, the investors are the bosses, and Li Qing is a second-generation Chinese. It is easy to use the power of the state, but the most critical point is that Li Qing must contribute 50% of his personal income.
The country has never refused investment, and then there will be more confidence in convincing the conservatives.
Li Qing's rejection of Chen Yong's proposal would undoubtedly offend Chen Yong and cut off his financial resources. The suggestion of the short and thin young man is to find an opportunity to ruin Li Qing's reputation and make him a street rat that everyone in China wants to beat.
At that time, Li Qing, who is only sixteen years old, will definitely keep things quiet and give up more income...
Chen Yong and the two officials smiled at each other. Lu Lu, who was full of blood, was furious, but he did not vent it. Now he has not only the video recordings of Li Qing, Chen Yong, Chen Yong and the two officials, but also the photos he took carefully.
If Chen Yong wants to discredit Li Qing after returning to China, he will put these evidences online to let fans see what shamelessness and silent patriotism are.
Lu Lu stretched himself after leaving Starbucks. He had thought that he would have some good material, but it turned out to be what he wanted. However, he could not announce it in advance, so he could only sigh.
According to his idea, Chen Yong used trumped-up charges to discredit Li Qing. Li Qing would be speechless at that time, and he urgently needed someone to come forward and produce strong evidence. And he... just happened to have the evidence that Li Qing needed!
Li Qing, who was rescued, would definitely be grateful and repay the favor, and they would become friends. Wouldn't it be easy to get first-hand information from Li Qing in the future?
"I'm so smart!"
Lu Lu was extremely proud of his high IQ.
Four days later, Liverpool welcomed the 31st round of the 2016-2017 Premier League at home. It was not known whether the overall strength of the opponent was too weak. Li Qing always felt uninterested. He only contributed one assist in the 60 minutes he played, helping the home team to beat Bournemouth 2:0.
The last round of this round was the highly anticipated double blue meeting, Chelsea played against Manchester City at home.
After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Chelsea, who had better luck, defeated Manchester City 2:1, thus leading Liverpool by five points again with one more round to play.
Liverpool local media also expected Manchester City to at least draw with Chelsea away from home, but Chelsea won in the end. However, the Echo was not discouraged. After one round, Chelsea will visit Old Trafford.
Chelsea coach Conte, who defeated Manchester United 4:0 at home in the first round, had a story with his predecessor Mourinho. In that league game at Old Trafford, they will definitely lose points, and they may even lose!
