Chapter 108: Endorsement

"What's wrong with this group of reporters? I can write some sports reports and nag a few words like a resentful woman! Also, did our family Li Kong really say those things in an interview yesterday? Ah, although I am still very satisfied with the fact that he always remembers our group of fans, why do I feel a little uncomfortable when I see his confession to his girlfriend in the newspaper? Alas......

Park Tae-yong was a little sullen lying on the desk, chatting with a few friends who were also Seoul FC fans and Lee Kong fans, and after hearing his words with some resentment, the friends sitting next to him looked at him in surprise, and then they all pulled their chairs and quickly moved away from him.

Park Tae-yong was bored, and when he saw his friends' actions, he was directly amused by their deliberate actions: "You guys! My sexual orientation is normal, okay? It's just that the contestant who felt that he had finally decided to eat all the time suddenly told the outside world that he had a daughter, and we didn't know about it all the time, so I felt a little uncomfortable...... That's not what it means, it's just, it's ...... You're still laughing!"

The red-faced Park Tae courageously rushed to a group of friends who were making fun of him, and the ordinary junior high school classroom was filled with laughter and slapstick~

However, unlike Park Tae-yong's little depression, many single female fans who have only been obsessed with Lee Kong for a short time have fallen to the bottom after reading today's sports newspaper, because they feel that they have fallen out of love!

But you know, they obviously just fell in love with this "cute" big boy not long ago? You are only 18 years old, and you have a daughter? Even if you have a daughter, you still confess your love to her directly in the newspaper? You two are now thinking that you will be together forever bright and warm in the future, so what should we do?

So some female fans who couldn't help but feel aggrieved and unhappy chose to sit quietly at the door of the Seoul FC training base this afternoon to protest silently, wanting to wait for Li Kong to come out and give them an explanation.

But unfortunately, Li Kong has already moved out of the club's players' dormitory, and they are destined to not wait for Li Kong to come out of the club today, because now he is sitting helplessly in the box of a coffee shop in the JN district, while opposite him are sitting the elder brother Li Si and Uncle Chi Lie.

At this time, there were more than a dozen documents on the table in front of him, and Li Si and Chi Lie both stared at him with some seriousness, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

Li Kong looked at Li Si with some caution and said, "Brother, I think it's too early to take these now......" "You told me the same thing two months ago, and now that the league is over, do you still want to use the excuse of lack of time?" Before Li Si could speak, Chi Lie continued to glare at Li Kong.

Li Si nodded at Chi Lie, then cleared his throat and said to Li Kong slowly: "I must be very supportive of Uncle Chi's idea at this point! Li Kong, do you think that now that you have grown up and played in professional competitions, you can hide everything from me and your parents, and you are in charge of everything? If Uncle Chi hadn't found me this time, would you have to refuse these endorsements again?!"

Li Kong hurriedly waved his hand with a bitter face and said: "How can I think about it that much, now that I have only finished participating in the first season of professional competitions, it is not appropriate to receive these advertising endorsements or something, right? I am not a big-name star, and my performance will be more stable next year, so it is not too late to receive endorsements!"

Ji Lie glanced at him angrily, and then took a sip of coffee and asked: "Yes, you are indeed not a well-known star in world football now! But you are now in South Korea, in the K-League! Boy, if you are not a K-League star now, then who else is counted? To be arrogant, in terms of commercial value and the favor of merchants, the players in the entire K-League, if you dare to say that you are ranked second, no one dares to rank first!"

Li Kong shrank his head and muttered, "How can you be so powerful......"

Ji Lie's eyes widened, and he raised his voice and said: "You still don't believe it? Let's talk about your data in this half season, thirteen league games, you handed in eleven goals and six assists, in the second half of the entire league, who else can have your boy's performance? This is your debut season! In the semi-finals, Pohang Steelers scored another goal, although you didn't score in the final, but your performance before the injury was also seen by the fans!"

Ji Yeol leaned forward and continued to Li Kong with a serious face: "Do you know how many offer flyers the club has received about you since October? Let me tell you, eight of the twelve teams in the entire K League have made offers to you! There are even offer flyers from the RBJ League and your national team, all of which are asking the club if there is any possibility of trading with you! Among them, Suwon Samsung's offer to you even reached 1.4 billion won at one time! But the club directly refused. ”

Pointing to the documents on the table, Ji Yeol said again: "The title of 'Strongest Rookie Monster' in the K League should have fallen on you now, and you kid has hardly been interviewed in the past few months, and you haven't participated in a single external event except for that charity match, do you know how much your fans and the citizens of Seoul want to know more about you now? Do you know how many businesses in Seoul are interested in you now? It is no exaggeration to say that you are now almost a mobile vault in the eyes of those merchants!" Your exposure rate is simply pitiful! Those businesses are looking for you to shoot an advertisement, go to a few activities, not to mention anything else, even if you just make some money from fans, it will be enough for them to make a profit for a long time!"

Li Si nodded sympathetically, and sighed at Li Kong, who was already a little surprised at the moment: "You kid doesn't pay much attention to things off the field except for games and training every day, right? Let me tell you, there are almost ten reporters who come to the door in Quanzhou and want to interview our parents! If I didn't live in the company almost now, I guess I would be so annoyed by those 'flies' that I wouldn't want to go out." ”

Li Kong's face changed when he heard this, he didn't play professional games to let his family be harassed by that group of reporters, and if he couldn't be interviewed, he would interfere with the lives of his parents and brother, what is this!

Li Si seemed to see Li Kong's thoughts, he smiled and rubbed Li Kong's head, and said, "I don't want you to continue to fight against those reporters! People want to interview us, which means that you are really famous now, and your parents and I are very happy and proud of you! In the future, you will also change your stinky temper and concepts, and accept interviews from time to time, so that people will not go all the way to bother us again?"

Li Kong scratched his head with a little headache, and finally agreed to Li Si's request, as for the reason, it is also very simple, it is the freedom of other people who the reporter wants to interview, and he can't stop them from interviewing his family, or let his parents leave Quanzhou, where they have lived for so long, right?

Chi Lie coughed and reminded Li Si, who seemed to have forgotten to say "business", and then the two glanced at each other, and then looked at Li Kong with a serious expression: "Do you know that it is good to correct some of your previous practices that are not very right, so now let's talk about endorsements, Uncle Chi, or you come." "Well, I'll just say it briefly. ”

After Chi Lie finished speaking, he looked at Li Kong and said earnestly: "I know that you just want to play football well, but don't forget, you are no longer a young player! You have now stepped into the big stage of professional football, and you have to think about not only how to play well, but also how to develop your commercial value and make a name for yourself! Originally, these things were handled by your agent, but you kid never thought about these things, and the agent was not willing to find them!" In the past few months, your contract renewal has been signed by your parents after I read it, and some activities you don't want to participate in, and I went to help you apologize to others, is it that when you sign a new contract with the club after a while, you want to find me to help you negotiate with the club? Ah, I really am!"

Li Kong looked at Chi Lie covering his head with a burdened face, and said a little unbearably: "Or, I'll give you some salary?"

"Don't stop me, I have to teach this kid a good lesson today! You really treat me as your agent? I'm the club's chief scout, scout! You stinky boy!"

Li Si hurriedly grabbed Chi Lie, who was in a state of rage, and at the same time looked at Li Kong, who was smiling awkwardly against the corner, and soothed him for a while, which allowed Chi Lie to sit back in his seat.

Li Si glared at Li Kong, who no longer dared to speak, angrily, then coughed, and announced quite formally: "After Uncle Chi communicated with me about you, I also seriously thought about it for several days, and last night, I made a final decision and resigned from my current job. ”

"Mo?"

Li Kongyi changed his obedient appearance, looked at his brother with some incredulity, and said incoherently: "Brother, you quit your job? Didn't you just get promoted some time ago? Why didn't you do it? Did your parents know about it?"

Several questions were thrown out in a row, so that Li Si had to signal him to calm down first, and then continued: "And when I called you today, I also discussed this matter with Uncle Chi, and we both thought that this decision was feasible, good for you, and it could also solve the problem of reemployment of me, a 'laid-off person', so." ”

Li Si shrugged his shoulders and stretched out his hand to Li Kong with a smile: "My employer, I will give me more advice in the future." ”

Li Kong looked at his brother's movements dumbfounded, and subconsciously replied: "What? Brother, I don't understand what you mean, what are you?"

Chi Lie knocked on Li Kong's head angrily, and said with a smile: "Your brother has decided to be your agent himself, boy, you will be blessed in the future, wait to count the money and count the cramps!"

Li Kong looked at him without asking his opinion, so he directly became the elder brother of his agent, rolled his eyes and muttered: "I haven't agreed yet, why did you decide behind my back......"

"Ah! Uncle Chi, don't stop me! I have to clean up this stinky boy today! Look at his eyes, he still dares to dislike me? I graduated from Korea University with a major in business administration! I'm so short-tempered!"

Chi Lie pulled Li Si and finally pressed him to the seat, and then glanced at Li Kong, who was sitting close to the corner of the wall and laughing awkwardly, covering his forehead and really didn't want to speak, these two brothers are really, alas......

Li Kong waited until Li Si's anger was almost gone, then he took out his mobile phone with a smile and played, while Li Si and Chi Lie discussed with Chi Lie what endorsements to take for him this winter.

Five minutes later, Kim Taeyeon, who was also in the JN district, was sitting in the dormitory and chatting with Huang Meiying, the mobile phone in her hand suddenly vibrate, she picked up the mobile phone with some curiosity and clicked on the mailbox, and saw a "show off" text message from Li Kong: Come and worship the "big trend" star who is about to receive a large number of endorsements!

Looking at this text message full of childish tone, he subconsciously pursed his lips and laughed, and after spitting a sentence, Kim Taeyeon quickly typed back: Give you a minute to text me again, and if you exceed the time limit, you will bear the consequences~

As a result, the next text message was quickly sent again after more than ten seconds, and Kim Taeyeon clicked on the text message with Huang Miying, who was looking at her curiously: That, I should be making some money again recently, what does Wuli Taeyeon want to buy and eat? Give people a chance to show their 'love' for you~

"Huh~ What a meat!"

Kim Taeyeon wrinkled her nose and threw the phone to the side of the bed, hugged Hwang Mi-young's face and kissed her "let's chirp", although she was talking in disgust, but the smile on her face couldn't be hidden, it was so sweet that it was greasy~

And Kim Taeyeon's bedside is now lying quietly a copy of the new weekly magazine of "Seoul Sports News", and the page that is turned is the illustration of the scene where Lee Kong walks to the fan stands with his back to the reporters, and the back of Lee Kong under the flying snow looks tall and confident!

The title on the illustration is also very eye-catching: "The newcomer monster boldly shows his love for his girlfriend: I will hold your hand to the end!".
